unknown

My baby told me she would meet me on the street
Stood behind a lamppost, i could only see her feet
Now i'm not one to grumble, don't want to be a bore
But that silly bitch jane fonda's got a lot to answer for
Told the women of the world that the only way to win
Work out `til you burn out and you'll get super slim
I rushed her to the restaurant and called the maitre d', oh help me
Fill her up, fill her up
Load up, load up
Fill her to the top
Fill her up, fill her up
Keep it coming, keep it coming
Never let it stop
We staggered from the restaurant feeling in the pink
I slipped into the liquor store and gave the man a wink
My baby got the shivers, said you've got to stop and think
What you're doing to your body with this evil demon drink
Said the poison that you're buying gonna eat away your brain
I said you'd better listen up before you go insane
Knocked her off her soapbox, rushed her to the bar, and shouted
Fill her up, fill her up
Down `em, drown `em
Fill her to the top
Fill her up, fill her up
Keep `em coming, keep `em coming
Never let them stop
That's right, one more
Tequilla sunrise with a little umbrella on it
Okay, encore
A bloody mary with a little shot of bourbon on the side
Too many moaning minnies
They're out to spoil our fun
Watch out for sister anna
She's the one who bangs the drum
Bang the drum
Now you may think i'm worried by the screwballs that i meet
Just to prove i'm not i'll throw a party in the street
Everyone's invited, but you've got to take the pledge
Leave behind your scruples, let me take you to the edge
Everything in moderation that's the golden rule
Take away all pleasure, that seems kind of cruel
To give the people power got to give them fuel, so i say
Fill em up, fill em up
Lead em, feed em
Fill em to the top
Fill em up, fill em up
Everybody, everybody
Never let it stop
Fill em up, fill em up
Lead em, feed em
Fill em to the top
Fill em up, fill em up
Everybody, everybody
Never let it stop
Fill her up, fill her up... (repeat to fade)

I found myself on my knees in prayer
The consequence of my deep despair
Now i must speak, get it off my chest
It ain't no joke and it ain't no jest
Every night she would come to me
But her demands brought disharmony
I said, "you can't bring your drums to bed,
Your rhythm method's gonna leave me dead."
Got to take this woman
Cos she's a whole lotta woman
Why don't you take this woman
Take this woman lock her away
It would be churlish of me to complain
But caviar every night is insane
I'm fit to burst, i'm not in the mood
But she say, "lie down babe, i wanna talk to you."
Well i'm not fond of your family ties
The hangman's noose in your mother's eyes
You chatterbox like a talking head
Je ne comprends pas the words that you said
Take this woman
Cos she's a whole lotta woman
Why don't you take this woman
Take this woman lock her away
Don't want to love you
I really tried
But i'm hook line and sinkered deeply fried
I've got to admit that with all your faults
We touch and it feels like a million volts
Listen - i realised i'd made a big mistake
I'm only human for heaven's sake
Lord give me strength don't let me falter
I'm gonna take her to the alter
And i'll take this woman
Cos she's a whole lotta woman
I'm gonna take this woman
Take this woman lock her away
I'm gonna take this woman
Cos she's a whole lotta woman
I'm gonna take this woman
Take this woman lock her away
Woh, yeah....

Working girls don't stand a chance
Typing pools are full deadly fish
Office romeos believe
Dictation is the statutory dish
Do they want you for your body
When you wanna use your mind
Every day it's hustle hustle
But you're not the pushy kind
You worry and wonder when he calls you at five
You've got to work late will you get out alive
You know what he's after it's always the same
And soon you'll be playing the cat and mouse game
Working girls they dress to kill
Posing for some glossy magazine
You know the flashman wants an exposure
But your momma says you gotta keep it clean
Still you're selling with your body
And the camera never lies
Every shot is more revealing
As your inhibitions die
He asks you to stay but you want to decline
He leers as he opens another bottle of wine
Don't want to offend him your ticket to fame
So you play by the rules
It's a cat and mouse game
Working girls are lost in dreams
Buried in a paperback romance
Why don't you wake up to reality
And watch those fingers at the office dance
When you're struggling with your figures
Is he studying your form?
There's a silence in the boardroom
It's the calm before the storm
You wanna go home it's been a long day
The streets are so crowded and you must get away
You'll be back tomorrow
He'll call out your name
It's business as usual
The cat and mouse game
Working girls
Working girls
Working girls

I saw you so pretty
Your face lit up the city
Two worlds came together
The memory stays for evermore
So different your fashion
You were the main attraction
Heads turning in wonder
I felt myself go under
(oomachasaooma...)
`ooh i'm a drowning man
Save me please
I need you so give me a helping hand
Chorus
Nothing can stop you when you
Feel the love
No chains can hold you when you
Feel the love
Don't try to fight it when you
Feel the love
Nobody matters but the one you love
My intro i fumble
My facade starts to crumble
So strange your reaction
I made the right connection now
You got me no bother
I can't see any other
The world keeps on turning
I wouldn't care if it was burning
(oomachasaooma...)
`ooh i'm a drowning man
Save me please
I need you so give me a helping hand
Chorus
It's a million to one
You should find the right door
But there's no guarantee
You'll find what you're looking for
Don't give up if you blow it the first time around
But you've got to beware
If you're walking on air
Keep your feet on the ground
(keep your feet on the ground)
Don't stop me i'm not dreaming
I can't ignore this feeling
Your love is my lifeline
You're so right so fine so glad you're mine
(oomachasaooma...)
`ooh i'm a drowning man
Save me please
I need you so give me a helping hand
Chorus (repeat to fade)

I've been lost before and i had to pay
It was never easy but i found a way
Well the journey was hard and the road was tough
There were times when i cried lord i've had enough
Please don't desert me now
Don't you leave me stranded now i need a friend
Please don't desert me now
You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
Show me mercy when i'm helpless
Shine a light in the dark
Hold me back when i get reckless
Shine a light in the dark
Stand me up if i get legless
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
I've been down and out and i've been fit to drop
But the thought of you wouldn't let me stop
Now a man should stand upon his own two feet
Because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet
Please don't desert me now
I can hear the reaper calling in the wind
Please don't desert me now
You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
Show me mercy when i'm helpless
Shine a light in the dark
Hold me back when i get reckless
Shine a light in the dark
Stand me up if i get legless
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
Where were you when the chips were down
I fell apart when i hit the town
Where were you when i couldn't get arrested
Where were you when the lights went out
I blew a fuse, did you hear me shout
Where on earth do i look for heavens sake
There's a brotherhood that i want to see
Gotta take my share of equality
There's no harmony in a one man band
Even god almighty needs a helping hand
Please don't desert me now
There's no time and i can't fight another day
Please don't desert me now
You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
Show me mercy when i'm helpless
Shine a light in the dark
Hold me back when i get reckless
Shine a light in the dark
Stand me up if i get legless
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
Shine a light in the dark
(repeat to fade)

Hey you've been hanging on
To a dream
Hoping that time
Would turn your fear away
But you must stop
Take a look around
What do you see
Do you see me
People say that i'm crazy
(people call me a fool)
They've got no business to talk
(they've got no reason at all)
I'll take a chance with you baby
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
Hey you're living in a world
Where reason is a waste of time
Nobody talking
The atmosphere is cold
Touching you deeply
Way down inside you
Do you wanna be loved
Say you wanna be loved
People say that i'm crazy
(people call me a fool)
They've got no business to talk
(they've got no reason at all)
I'll take a chance with you baby
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
Hey i've been talked about
The way i've been following you
But i don't give a damn
When it feels so right
But i must find out
Take a look around me
What do i feel
What'll i do
You see i've been hanging on
To a dream
Hoping you'll find
The love you need in me
Giving you time
To make your mind up
Do you wanna be loved
Say you wanna be loved
People say that i'm crazy
(people call me a fool)
They've got no business to talk
(they've got no reason at all)
I'll take a chance with you baby
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter at all

The summers were longer, they went on forever
Oh and the sky so blue
We never worried about anything
We didn't question the nature of things
We didn't want to know
Talking in whispers and wondering
Oh and i loved you so
Memories, they linger with you but you
Soon forget that we started in innocence
Memories, they linger with you but you
Soon forget when you're grown
We dream in the night, of mythical days
And nights in white satin
But when the child wakes, the fantasy breaks
We didn't know what the future would bring
We didn't want to know
Something was growing inside me
Oh and i loved you so
Memories, they linger with you but you
Soon forget that we started in innocence
Memories, they linger with you but you
Soon forget when you're grown
Photographs, faded photographs
Holidays, summer holidays
First love, broken promises
All a play, i'm going back to yesterday
The feeling was stronger, if went on forever
Oh and your eyes were true
We were so wrapped up in all of our dreams
We didn't care what the future would bring
We didn't want to know
Talking in whispers and wondering
Oh and i loved you so......
Memories, they linger with you but you
Soon forget that we started in innocence
Memories, they linger with you but you
Soon forget when you're grown

Time to wave the day goodbye
But i don't wanna hear no lullaby
Sandman takes his cue
And when the night is through
I'll be lying here with you
Close your eyes turn out the light
Say a prayer to see us through the night
Hope your dreams come true
When dawn turns into blue
I'll be lying here with you
Too much of something
Tends to spoil you so they say
But i can't get enough of you
I tell you something
I never listen to what they say
I only know what i must do
All our cares will drift away
Leave them all until another day
I don't really mind
As long as i can find
That i'm lying here with you
Too much of something
Tends to spoil you so they say
But i can't get enough of you
I tell you something
I never listen to what they say
I only know what i must do
All our cares will drift away
Leave them all until another day
I don't really mind
As long as i can find
That i'm lying here with you

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase i'm going through
And just because i call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...
I like to see you, but then again,
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if i call you, don't make a fuss,
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...
(be quiet, big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry)
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because...
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase i'm going through
And just because i call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, i'm not in love...

On the street below these walls
Where i used to walk
Now i can barely crawl
All this darkness rising tall
Lord shine a light for me
I'm waiting to be called
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
Take this river to the sea
Where the delta flows
The tide is washing over me
Guide this soul to heaven's door
Show me where tomorrow lies
I'm waiting to be born
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise i must keep
I'm ready to go home
So tired i lay down
With these memories
Breathe shallow deep inside of me
If time has run its course with me
Then
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
When the evening shadows fall
When the time has come
I'll let defences fall
To surrender's to survive
I will give up everything
To those i leave behind
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise i must keep
I'm ready to go home
Again

I looked at your face somehow i knew
Nothing could tear me away
You started to smile and i was lost
Fumbling for something to say
I took you home, you took me in
I knew i'd never be the same again
Baby, isn't it funny how it started
Well you know
The windows were frosty and grey
But we didn't notice the cold
Wrapped in the warmth of your body
Hoping this dream would never go
I took you home, you took me in
I knew i'd never be the same again
Baby, isn't it funny how it started
Well you know
Your folks were sleeping soundly upstairs
We couldn't really turn on the light
So i stumbled and we fell in the dark
I could have died
It's crazy to remember all the reasoning
I wonder if the memory will ever fade away
I looked at your father and i smiled
He said it was time for me to go
Stumbling out into the morning
Hoping my feelings didn't show
I took you home, you took me in
I knew i'd never be the same again
Baby, isn't it funny how it started
Well you know

Oh well her skin it was softer than velvet
And her eyes were as bright as a child's
Her lips were a promising picture
Warm and celluloid
But her words had me thinkin' too deeply
The meaning be-lying her face
Made me look just a little bit closer
Between the lines
L.a. smiles to hide the frown
L.a. promises to follow you down
L.a. teeth, and l.a. hair
L.a. curves that shouldn't be there
They really shouldn't be there
She said you've got to be seen at the roxy
The strippers will know who we are
But you've got to be seen to be happy
You're a tinseltown star
You're going upwards and downwards and sideways
Man you're really caught up in a dream
With your head burning under the starlight
From the studio scene
L.a. smiles to hide the frown
L.a. promises to follow you down
L.a. teeth, and l.a. hair
L.a. curves that shouldn't be there
They really shouldn't be there
L.a. inflatable, she never says no
L.a. insatiable, you don't have to go
L.a. charisma
Well she knows all the famous musicians
Sometimes she sees how they play
And when the back stage passes are going
She really knows how to pay
She's a product of rock `n' roll livin'
She's a victim of hollywood hate
She's a soul survivor
She's the midnight special
Gonna lay you to waste
L.a. smiles to hide the frown
L.a. promises to follow you down
L.a. teeth, and l.a. hair
L.a. curves that shouldn't be there
They really shouldn't be there

Bluebird take me on your wing
Teach me how to fly
Teach me how to sing
Bluebird, guardian of my soul
Inside everybody
Is a story to be told
I came in from the cold
When i found someone
Strong enough to bear
The strain of our existence
And troubles everywhere
But time heals
And i know you'll be there... ooh
Bluebird a symphony in flight
Symbol of the dawn
Symbol of the night
I'll try with all my might to be your brother
Always there for you
Mother (mother, mother) knowing what to do
And farther than anyone has flown
Courage to spread your wings alone
And who will help me?
Bluebird
Bluebird stranger to these shores
I look into your eyes
Have you been here before
Take me through the door to heaven
And show me
The treasures that you keep
The magic of the sky
And the beauty of the deep
And i'll do what i have to do
To be one of the chosen few
Fly anywhere with...
You, bluebird
Bluebird, bluebird (yeh)

I don't know why it's the way of the world
But meanwhile....
You've seen her sway when she walks down the street
Look at her eyes see the glow in her cheeks
It ain't no secret she can't hide it away
There's someone special she's the dish of the day
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in her prime
(she's a woman in love)
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman
This chemistry you'll never find in a book
No ectochrome's gonna capture this look
These mixed emo's make your senses to reel
You've got to be there to feel what she feels
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in her prime
(she's a woman in love)
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman
Why should a woman in all innocence
Be the one to inspire looks that kill
I don't know
I don't know why it's the way of the world
Some will win, some will lose
But she can't tell
This kind of beauty comes from within
Shouldn't be allowed yeh it's really a sin
You'd sell your soul for a night in her bed
You're far too late boy i've already said
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in her prime
(she's a woman in love)
Look at her face it's a picture
She's a woman in love
She's a woman
(repeat until fade)

Inside my loneliness and sorting through the mess
I came across a bunch of snaps and letters
I found an eight by ten, taken god knows when
It took me back to when we found each other
How did i let it start
If i could only remember
Oh, oh, why did i break your heart
The tender parts we played
I thought we had it made
The recipe for life, the perfect fusion
But when the love turned sour
I found the happy hour
But drinking for the world is no solution
How did i let it start
If i could only remember
Oh, oh, why did i break your heart
Can't we go back to the start
I needed someone to tell me
Why did i break your heart
The cost of loving is a heavy burden
Somebody's gotta take the strain
The things we said would make a cover story
But who's gonna say
Who should take all the blame
We analysed ourselves
It didn't really help
No one to referee, no rhyme no reason
I thought we had the best
But when you flew the nest
My heart decided it was open season
How did i let it start
If i could only remember
Oh, oh, why did i break your heart
Can't we go back to the start
I needed someone to tell me
Oh, oh, why did i break your heart
Why did i break your heart.....

You never asked me to love you
I did it all by myself
You didn't make me no promises
You read my feelings so well
Chorus
Oh wow wow what you've done for me
Oh wow wow even a fool could see
Oh wow wow what you mean to me
You didn't ask no questions
I wouldn't tell you no lies
I didn't need any answers
They were there in your eyes
Don't stop me from falling
I can't get enough
You took the pain from my body
Now i'm ready for love
Yes i am
I've been alone in the shadows
Too many nights by myself
So many dreams have been shattered
You know the story so well
Chorus
I didn't see no fireworks
And the earth never moved
But when we're lying together
I've got nothing to prove
You gave me your kisses i can't get enough
You put the fire in my heart
And i'm ready for love
Yes i am
People try to analyse
They worry is it right
But it really doesn't matter to me
There's no reason when you really fall in love
`cause you can't stop it
Won't drop it
Don't even think about it
Hold on tight and never let it go
Chorus
You took the pain from my body
And i'm ready for love
You took the pain from my body
And i'm ready for love
Yes i am ready for love
Yes i am ready for love
Yes i am ready for love
Yes i am

We came across from korea
We braved the wind and the rain
We came a thousand miles just to be here
And you want to send we back again
We crossed malaysian waters
We sailed the south china sea
We stopped at singapore and jakarta
And you want to send we back to sea
Don't send we back, have mercy upon us
We know you don't want us but we've got no one
Don't send we back, we've run out of water
We won't last the morning in the baking sun
The indonesian islands
We stopped at every one
As for the philippines we tried `em
And you want to turn our boat around

It doesn't help you if you scream and shout
That isn't what this thing is all about
And do you really want to fight to win
You're missing out and that's another sin
Your dream of power is a sacrifice
Do you really want to pay that price
Just think about it and you'll change the pace
Look in the mirror tell me who do you face
Who is that?
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop
Nobody loves you if you moan all day
So take it easy then you'll get your way
You ain't no dummy and i'm sure you know
You know it's better if you let it go
You're in control if you let it go
You're feeling better when you let it flow
You never really had to catch the moon
You're better jumping to another tune
So let's jump
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop (do, do, do it)
I've got it all but it's not enough
I keep thinking "boy i feel so rough
This can't be me, i'm such a happy guy"
I laugh a lot but i want to cry
A cry for help is just letting go
It hurts a lot but i think i know
It's time for change i don't need the hype
It's time for change and the time is ripe
So let's go
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop
It's everything, everything is not enough
I want it all, that's tough, that's tough, that's tough
Another dream, another dream, another dream goes pop
This is the time, let's stop, let's stop, let's stop...

The hands on the clock seem to stick to the face
But the seconds are turning to minutes
And minutes to days
I try not to look at the grin on it's face
But i know that it knows that i gotta get out
Of this place
Time to close the day
Time to lock the door
Time to greet the street
I'm so happy i'm walking on air
People staring but i don't care
Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi
Don't take the subway don't go that way
`snot a safe way don't go that way
Gotta cross town don't want trouble
Got to get there on the double
She'll be waiting i'll be running
She'll be thinking i'm not coming
I can't wait to talk to you
Tell you what i'd like to do
We'll find a little restaurant
A little vino for the ambiance
In the candlelight we're holding hands
Time flies when you really
Don't want it to
The waiters are staring at me
But i've only got eyes for you
Leave us alone we don't wanna go home
Put your chairs on the tables
We can let ourselves out when you've gone
Time to take your home
Time to say goodnight
We don't wanna part
Let's be together tonight
Let's be together tonight
Taxi, call a taxi, yellow taxi, taxi taxi
Don't take the subway don't go that way
`snot a safe way we'll go our way
Gotta cross town back to my place
Pull the shades down screw the rat race
We're alone now undercover
Hang the sign out don't disturb
Now i'm really close to you
Tell you what i want to do
I wanna take you to a tropical place
Beneath the stars i'll see the love in your face
In the pale moonlight
We're holding hands
Following the footprints in the sand
It's been a hell of a day in the city
Now it's time to get away

You know i cannot always be there with you
When something crazy takes me far away
We must stick together through this madness
I've got so many things i want to say
Too many forces try to come between us
So little time to share and talk to you
If i show my hand to you in panic
Please remember what i'm going through
I've loved you forever
But it seems like a day
And i want to be there with you
I didn't want it this way
Don't think i don't trust in you
I just needed to say
Don't break the promises
That we made today, oh no
Don't break the promises
Do you remember counting every moment
Before the world we knew was torn apart
Now when i close my eyes i can be with you
But are we really dancing in the dark
A bad connection leads us to confusion
We're all too easily misunderstood
Oh we've been together through these nightmares
And now we've got a chance to make it good
I've loved you forever
But it seems like a day
And i want to be there with you
I didn't want it this way
Don't think i don't trust in you
I just needed to say
Don't break the promises
That we made today, oh no
Don't break the promises
That we made today
Don't you break the promises
(don't break the promises, promises)
If you do you'll be breaking my heart
(don't break the promises that you made)
Oh don't forget the things we said
(promises, promises)
At the start oh no
I've loved you forever
But it seems like a day
And i want to be there with you
I didn't want it this way
Don't think i don't trust in you
I just needed to say
Don't break the promises
That we made today, oh no
Don't break the promises
That we made today
Don't break the promises
That we made today

You said you will
You said i do
Now that's the best thing
For me and you
We'll stick together our whole lives through
Grow old with me
Starting out just the two of us
Pretty soon they'll be a few of us
We'll love and cherish and give our trust
Grow old with me
Pretty face got it all worked out
What we did today leaves me in no doubt
That dreams come true
And now i'm whole
I fell in love - heart and soul
You've given more than words can say
You took the lead and you showed the way
A new beginning for us today
Grow old with me
Grow old with me
Pretty face got it all worked out
What we did today leaves me in no doubt
That dreams come true
And now i'm whole
I fell in love - heart and soul
You said you will
You said i do
Now that's the best thing
For me and you
We'll stick together our whole lives through
Any fool can see - you're gonna
Grow old with
Old with me
Grow old with me
Grow old with me

This boy he's a midnight driver
High roller and a soul survivor
She tried to send him on his way
He say, hey, i wanna stay
If you don't mind i'm hanging around
This girl's on the road to nowhere
She wouldn't say but another day there
It's not the role she's decided to play
She say, hey, don't wanna stay
There's no reason for hanging around
Take me where i wanna go running
Where the sea rushes up to the shore
It's a lonely place but i need the space
Want to let my feelings soar
Help me find the key to my prison
I've waited long enough to be free
I love you but i'm not really living
It's now how i want it to be
Listen, i know what she's like she's just a dreamer
But i'll win in the end i'm a schemer
Give her time she'll be on the phone
She's never gonna make it alone
Better leave the door on the latch
She'll soon be hurrying home
Oh mother, it looks like i'm in for stormy weather
So i'd better get my story together
Got to make it good she's no fool
I'll take her in my arms, i'll be cool
Don't want to get her upset
I wanna make her forget
Take me where i wanna go running
Where the sea rushes up to the shore
It's a lonely place but i need the space
Want to let my feelings soar
Help me find the key to my prison
I've waited long enough to be free
I love you but i'm not really living
It's now how i want it to be
This girl's she's a real survivor
She don't believe in the midnight driver
So she's starting a brand new day
She say, hey, don't wanna play
It had to stop, so i'm going away
I'm going away
I'm going away

You walk in the room
The folks are all there
With glasses in hand
But you can't take the band
So you head for the bar
The barman's well stocked
He knows where you're at
He offers a drink
But you can't take none of that
(no you can't take none of that)
Everybody's having fun
So why be the one
Who's out in the cold
It's not good enough
You made a deal with yourself
You said you'd never take another drop
Your craving's big, your livers shot
You'd give a million for a solitary drop
You take your first belt
It tastes like pure hell
The second one drops
Intentions are shot
Well you think you might as well
You take another sip
You get to likin' it
The music sounds hip
So you head for the floor
(so you head for the floor)
Yea yea yea yea yea
Well you step out on the dance floor
And you grab at your boss's wife
You've been longing to hold her close
For the whole of your working life
And the band played on
Move your ass
Well your hostess is lookin' mad
As your hands start to wander
And your boss is gonna get you now
He's gonna put you six feet under
You get walked out the door
And your feet don't touch the floor
You're never gonna see `em no more
The dawn starts to break
Your heads a big ache
You're lyin' in bed
You're back from the dead
And your mouth feels like old leather
(old leather)
Never do it again
(you'll never do it again)
Everyone was havin' fun
But you were the one
Kicked out in the cold
You slept in your clothes
You let `em down
Down at the club
You know your confidence got to take the rub
Your boss is sore
You've had your chance
He says he never wants to see you again
Don't wanna see you again
(don't wanna see you again)
You've got to dry out
The boys have found out
It's the end of the line
But it's martini time
So you head for the bar..r...r..r..r..r

I picked myself up in a downtown bar
You know the feelin' was lousy
But as i'd come this far
Well it's too easy to drink
When nobody's home
But i hate to eat alone
`n' frozen dinners don't do much for me
When you've got t.v. on the table
`n' t.v. on t.v.
All you do is chew your fingers
Down to the bone
I hate to eat alone
Like the actor who's forgotten his words
You stumble through the story line
Another place another time
When you were with me
They say the city's rotten to the core
There's no communication with each other anymore
But we stopped talkin' to each other a long time before
And i hate to eat alone
Hear it in my words
See it in my eyes
Since you went away
I wear a cheap disguise
Waitin' for the mornin'
Waitin' on the light
Hopin' for the sunshine
Before the night
I didn't tell you that i had to change
So you just took it for granted
That we'd remain the same
I know that nobody's guilty
No one's to blame so i end up on my own
God i hate to eat alone
I hate to eat alone
I hate to eat alone
I hate to eat alone

I checked into the room and i checked the view
And then i locked and chained the door
I had time to kill i had space to fill
Like a prisoner on the floor
But then the silence broke, there's a woman
Screaming down the hall
And i wondered what was going on
Here at the notell hotel
So i killed the light and i slipped the chain
Took a peek into the hall
I was just in time to see the waiter trip
And drop the dinner on the floor
But the bellboy smiled as the elevator started to fall
And i wondered what was going on
Down at the notell hotel
Ooh, i love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)
Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything i see
Ooh, how i love a mystery (turned up raincoats)
Secret agents, waiting for the missing clue
At a rendezvous
I heard the sound of feet and i looked out to
Meet a girl i knew i'd seen before
She had the kind of looks, you see in dirty books
And she was dripping on the floor
She was taking a shower when someone tiptoed in
And turned out the lights
It's gonna be one of those nights
Down at the notell hotel
I took her into my room and picked the lock on the bar
To get a drink to calm her down
Then the mirror cracked as the window shook
And the table turned around
And when i grabbed at the phone
There was a voice at the end of the line
"is that 1059? is anything wrong, is there anything wrong"
Here at the notell hotel
Ooh, i love a mystery (cover up and intrigue)
Life can be a thriller, a fantasy of everything i see
Ooh, how i love a mystery (turned up raincoats)
Secret agents, waiting for the missing clue
At a rendezvous

I watch her move up and down the beach, well
The fellows drool, but she's out of their reach, and
These are not a part of the scheme, but
Let them hope, and let them dream
So many dreams in the mind of the men, well
Come to life through a good one love
Margo walks in another place, well
It's in their minds, and it's on her face
Some like it cool
Some like it hot
Some give a little
Some give a lot
Some wanna give everything that they've got
Margo wants the mustard
Yeh, she needs a little spice
Margo wants the mustard
Then she'll spread it on real light
Margo wants the mustard
Yeh, she'll never ever stop
Margo wants the mustard
It will take her to the top
She's only got to smile that way when
It lifts your heart, throws your troubles away, and
When she moves, well i've got to say
This rhythm method goes a long, long way
It's in the bones, and it's in the head
This precious thing has got to be fed, well
I shouldn't say, but it must be said
It's even better when it's in your bed
Some like it cool
Some like it hot
Some give a little
Some give a lot
Some wanna give everything that they've got
Margo wants the mustard
Yeh, she needs a little spice
Margo wants the mustard
Then she'll spread it on real light
Margo wants the mustard
She'll never ever stop
Margo wants the mustard
It will take her to the top
(a wop bop a loo mop, a lop bom bom)
[classic es solo]
I can't explain what she motivates, but
It's all around, but it's hard to relate
It must be close to heavenly bliss though
How i wish i could follow this and
Splashing out all over the place
Pour it all over the human race, yeh
I may be starting another sin, but
Sit right back, watch the fun begin
Some like it cool
Some like it hot
Some give a little
Some give a lot
Some wanna give everything that they've got
Margo wants the mustard
Yeh, she needs a little spice
Margo wants the mustard
Then she'll spread it on real light
Margo wants the mustard
Yeh, she'll never ever stop
Margo wants the mustard
It will take her to the top
Margo wants the mustard
Yeh, she needs a little spice
Margo wants the mustard
Then she'll spread it on real light
Margo wants the mustard
Yeh, she'll never ever stop
Margo wants the mustard
It will take her to the top...
