THE LEARNING CURVE
1.SUPERMAN Superman has the benefit of flying away when he fancies it

7.DEVIL IN DISGUISE instrumental
8.DO OR DIE Dancing with the devil only gets you into trouble with security
9.ETHEL & MAUD Saddled up her pick-up truck, spent the night with a local buck
10.TIME STANDS STILL You’ve got the magic touch my friend, kindly make me disappear
11.MAHALIA Out of the sun came a dead-eyed dick
12.LOST MYSELF We don’t even fight anymore. It’s keeping me up at night
OTHER SONGS
DEATH CLOCK It’s just about the rudest thing a man can do to you the rape of life
HAPPINESS I believe in the Midas Touch, never knew I could love you this much
LIFT YOUR DRESS My nose seems to itch when I touch you, I’m allergic I suppose
NINJA KINGS OF NUMNUM They’ll squeeze you out like a tube of liquid cheese
SPIRIT OF THE MOUNTAINSIDE In every shadow lurks the wolverine
VANDAL That Brazilian Zico knew, he knew how to prepare for a game
WESTCOAST MENTALISTA Gonna find me a hoodoo guru
THE TRACE Man looks at his son, torn by what he sees. Who is this imposter?
THE LEGEND OF EDDY PRATT He’s got T.N.T. in his P.A.N.T.S
NINJA KINGS OF NUMNUM ten cyberfreaks, Indian Chiefs, cooler than the Zapatistas
FEET WON’T TOUCH THE GROUND the scars from table-tennis and the deeper ones within
GRINGO There ain’t no prizes for the Might Have Been
I’M GOING HOME I have seen blue skies through the tears in my eyes
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
THE REASON Mr Lea used to scream at me, ’Boy you’re so fat, boy you’re so lazy’
CHRISTMAS WISH LIST I’d go a bundle over being smeared in brandy butter
CLEMENCY He’s the man who galvanised our nation’s steel production
