unknown

Why'd you never listen to me?
I could be invisible to you
Anyway it doesn't matter now
'cos i have met somebody new

Sorry if your heart is broken
Why's your mouth just hanging open?
Don't look so surprised
I found another guy

Terry wants my photograph
Terry says our love will last forever
And he should know
That boy terry's not the kind
To mess around and change his mind
Terry is as tough as marlon brando

Now he's waiting for me
I just had to break the news to you
You'd better hide your face a while
If he gets mad there's no telling what he'll do

You can see the door is open
So if you don't want your nose broken
You had better go away
'cos terry's coming round today

Terry wants my photograph
Terry says our love will last forever
And he should know
(terry said he'll never let me go)
That boy terry's not the kind
To mess around and change his mind
Terry is as tough as marlon brando

He's been making eyes at me
It started long ago
So when he said he loved me
I just had to say "i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know, i know"

You thought you were such a smartie
But terry knows about karate
There's other things he's good at too
Terry's not a bit like you

And terry wants my photograph
Terry says our love will last forever
And he should know
(terry said he'll never let me go)
That boy terry's not the kind
To mess around and change his mind
Terry is as tough as marlon brando

I went up to the corner to ask about the boys
It gets to mean a lot to me, i like that kind of noise
They had a look and they were nowhere to be found
That's when i heard that same old sound
It's the boys i love
It's the boys again
They're really good to see
It's the boys i need, it's my main man
And they sure sound good to me

I thought i liked the music until it hit my ears
I kissed them all twice and i bought them some beers
Took them back to my place and we danced all night
'cause when they're rocking everything's all right

It's the boys i love
It's the boys again
They're really good to see
It's the boys i need, it's my main man
And they sure sound good to me

Some guys talked about the death of rock & roll
This crazy talk just blurs the borders and oh
And i know

[guitar solo]

The boys and me ain't never gonna part
There's four of them but i've got a strong heart
We're going to practice all together
'cause the more we do it well we just get better

It's the boys i love
It's the boys again
They're really good to see
It's the boys i need, it's my main man
And they sure feel good
Sure feel good
Sure feel good
Sure feel good to me

You take a final look around
And then you put your house key down
Upon the table by the note
You take your handbag and your coat
You don't want too much to carry
To slow you down on your way

You picture his face
In the morning
As he way going to work
Without saying a word
You saw the face
Of a stranger
It wasn't always like this before
His face like a stranger
You didn't know what to say
So you are going away
From the face of a stranger
And not the lover you knew before

Why should you want to call your friends
Why should you want to start again
You tried explaining through the years
But it would always end in tears
And one thing you know for certain
You've said goodbye to the place

But still you picture his face . . .

Somewhere a telephone
Is ringing in an empty room
Miles away
You are looking at a new town
But you are thinking of the past
The rain is falling down
Why do you keep that photograph

Of his face like a stranger
As he was going to work . . .

The sun disappears bringing fears that come only at night
With hopes and dreams that will wither away in the light
And thoughts wander back to the girl with the perfect smile
Who said she would never leave you alone
But she had to spend some time on her own for a while

There's more than one nightmare at large in this city tonight
You know you can't shut out the dark with the neon light
Deep in the town the night birds are walking
And somewhere a heart is being broken
One lonely soul finds a bar that stays open all night

It's alright until the night when you can't forget she went away

It's alright until the night when you can't forget she went away

A song drifts along from a bar where a jukebox plays
And triggers the memory of happier summer days
Drive to the beach, sun on the water
Love was in reach and you never saw that
The sun was sinking and love was fading away

Annie i see your face in a window
Now you're a single i can't leave you out you see
You are my friend so do me a favour
Don't even say the whole thing's a catastrophe

Wild on the town
We had no time to write our adventures down
We've been around

Never a day goes by i don't thank you
You paid for me to have a spanish holiday
We drove them crazy, fell about laughing
Swimming and drinking all the sunstroked day away

Out of our heads we could wind up the dead with a word or two
Here's to you

We're going to run away from all of this to somewhere good someday
We're going to run away from all of this to somewhere good someday

I can remember when we seemed older
Ever so bold we packed some punches now and then
When you were going out with an airbrain
I helped you realise and you felt better then
Friends don't need passports
But sometimes we need some telepathy
You and me

We're going to run away from all of this to somewhere good someday
We're going to run away from all of this to somewhere good someday

And when things aren't so good
Don't let them get you down
If you ever need us then you know we'll be around
I don't just mean me
We'll care for you
And you know that is true
Well you should by now

Anyhow
We're going to run away from all of this to somewhere good someday
We're going to run away from all of this to somewhere good someday

It's no use knocking on my door
I won't be answering any more
So don't come round here like you did before
I'm moving out, no doubt about it

Take the video
Take the stereo
Take the dog and the cat and the bonio
Take the tv and the rug and the radio
I packed my bags
Come on, let's go

Take the bicycle that's in the hall
Take the pictures and the ducks off the wall
This is it, don't let the teardrops fall
I'm moving out today

Take the video
Take the stereo
Take the dog and the cat and the bonio
Take the tv and the rug and the radio
I packed my bags
Come on, let's go

Berlin

Love the sight and love the sound
I wish that i could stick around
Berlin

You never laid a mark on me
Well you're no gent if you know what i mean
Berlin

Come and get your body fried
And see the wall electrified
Berlin

No rewards and no regrets
They're bricked up till the kids forget
Berlin

Climb at night and see the lights
Take your aim and set your sights
Berlin

Give me the reason
There is no answer
You ask her why
She is a strange dancer

Come and get your body fried
And see the wall electrified
Berlin

Give me the reason
There is no answer
You want a reason
Blood is a reason

No rewards and no regrets
They're bricked up till the kids forget
Berlin

Five nights i nearly ...
... yourselves in ...
And watch the boys as they go by
Berlin

Give me the reason
There is no answer
You ask her why
She is a strange dancer

Love the sight and love the sound
I wish that i could stick around
Berlin

Give me the reason
There is no answer
You want a reason
Blood is a reason

You never laid a mark on me
Well you're no gent if you know what i mean
Berlin

He was a stranger in london at night
And he felt alone so he followed a light
Into a bar where the music was loud
He ordered a pint and got lost in the crowd
He asked a girl if she wanted to dance
She turned up her nose and she told him "no chance!"
He felt rejected and stood by the wall
And wondered why he'd ever bothered at all
He missed his family and wished he was home
With all of those strangers he felt so alone

Patrick don't be afraid
You'll live to laugh another day
Patrick don't be afraid
The cavalry is on the way

He stood in silence, looked round for a while
Then he saw a girl and she looked back and smiled
Then he went over and started to talk
She looked a bit like his sister in cork
He bought her a drink with his last two quid
When he said "come back for a coffee" she did

Patrick you've got it made
You're halfway there, you're on your way
Patrick she's not afraid
And now i bet you're glad you stayed

Looking so lovely and perfectly groomed
She showed in the centre of patrick's room
She was lit up from the inside and out
Oh he was enchanted as she moved about
She touched him like sunlight on cold mountain stone
And he grew afraid lest she leave him alone

Patrick don't be afraid
You've won the girl and saved the day
Patrick you've got it made
The girl's not going to run away

Patrick don't be afraid
The cavalry is on the way
Patrick you've got it made
Just look outside it's a lovely day

He's finding out life is never what it seems
She's finding doubt is replacing all her dreams
She's trying to pretend she's still in love just like before
But when he goes away she doesn't miss him any more
And it's too late to talk it over
She can't wait now
She's leaving anyhow

She's getting bored now that life seems so routine
Her head is filled with the places she ain't been
Since he's been unemployed he's started drinking heavily
They spend the night in silence watching rubbish on tv
And it's too late to talk it over
She can't wait now
She's leaving anyhow

They used to have some good times when they started out at first
But that was fifteen years ago now things keep getting worse
And it's too late to talk it over
She can't wait now
She's leaving anyhow

And it's too late to talk it over
She can't wait now
She's leaving anyhow

Yes it's too late to talk it over
She can't wait now
She's leaving anyhow

Happy to see you again
I'm happy 'cos you're a girl's best friend
I love it when you get real close
But i don't smile so no-one knows
That i'm happy just to be next to you
And i love the way you do the things you do
And it doesn't have to be so hard
To get happy when love's in charge
And i'm happy, i'm feeling really free
And i'm not satisfied with misery
I said i'm h a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
Did i ever tell you just how much i love you?
I may have forgotten sometimes
With the boats and the stars and the wine in the glass
And the touch of your body on mine
You make me h a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)
H a p p p p y (happy)

It's a funny old world for london girls...

I woke up this morning and i don't know what for
With the final reminders coming through the door.
The place is a mess, the situation's dire
Now the kettle is boiling and the toast's on fire.
I dont want a job being somebody's wife
I just want to see some action in my life.

Everybody seems to get me wrong...
But you and me - we seem to get along....

It's a funny old world for london girls

I brush my teeth, i dry my hair
I put on skimpy underwear
And i ride
To hell and back
Yeah i ride
Carving up the nation
Or the nearest service station
I ride

My leathers rip my tits
... (drowned out by loud laughter) ...
And i ride
To hell and back
And i ride

... means a lot to me
And i ride

... (track degenerates wildly!) ...

What's the problem?
What? it's only tits.
Jen!
Don't follow me
Jen!
Don't be afraid of my bosom

In more street where i did dwell
A butcher boy i loved right well
He courted me my life away
And now with me he will not stay

I wish, i wish, i wish in vain
I wish i was a maid again
But a maid again i'll never be
Till cherries grow on an apple tree

I wish my baby it was born
And smiling on its daddy's knee
And me poor girl to be dead and gone
With the long green grass growing over me

He went upstairs and the door he broke
He found her hanging from a rope
He took his knife and he cut her down
And in her pocket these words he found

"oh make my grave large, wide and deep
Put a marble stone at my head and feet
And in the middle a turtle dove
So the world may know i died of love"

I'd like to say that you gave me the best days of your life
So have one on me
I've been away but i think of you much more these days
Thanks for the memories
Here comes the moon again
It makes me think of when i last saw
My irish cousin

He looked so happy then
I can't believe that he's gone at all
My irish cousin

He said "surprise!"
And i could not believe my eyes
When i saw love
Yes i saw love

Hey, it's good to hear your voice
Even if i'm number 32 in your little black book of things to do
Hey, would you like to go out today
Maybe see a show
I don't know about you
So little time, so many things to do
I used to have these conversations all of the time
With my irish cousin

Well, here comes the moon again
I can't believe that's when i last saw
My irish cousin

We had a row in every bar in dublin
But we loved it 'cause we were equal
Two very lonely people
Oh, is it too late to tell him that i miss him?
I can't remember kissing him goodbye
My irish cousin

I let him down so many times but he never kicked me out
He let me cry, he'd let me shout
He said "that's what it's all about"
Here comes the moon again
It makes me think of when i last saw
My irish cousin

He made me laugh beyond the call of duty and i loved him
I'm so glad i told him
But maybe that's what did him in
I wouldn't put it past him
My irish cousin

He said "surprise!"
And i could not believe my eyes
When i saw love
Yes i saw love
In my irish cousin

And so she left her room
In her satin shoes she was down
He held her by the waist
In a fond embrace she spins round
Oh those silken lips
Soft and pink, aching to be kissed
Oh they ached to love
And to be loved
Was this love?
Was this love?

Let us dream a while in roman gardens
Statues walk and talk in the pale moonlight
A breath of wind stirs the surface of the lake
It's so cold
I am yours and you are mine tonight

Vicar sat with a vacant stare
In his wicker chair he was down
Take a look at his open book
Where the answers may be found

Colonel polishing his marble tomb
He'll be taken soon, taken to the seat
Softly, softly creeps the mist
The earth is kissed a loving touch

Let us dream a while in roman gardens
Statues walk and talk in the pale moonlight
A breath of wind stirs the surface of the lake
It's so cold
I am yours and you are mine tonight

Standing silent on the lawn
Waiting for the dawn i am down
My heart is breaking with the day
She fades away, she is gone
She is gone

Let us dream a while in roman gardens
Statues walk and talk in the pale moonlight
A breath of wind stirs the surface of the lake
It's so cold
I am yours and you are mine tonight

If you don't open your eyes then you're gonna get hurt
'cos she keeps telling you lies, she's just a full time flirt
Now i know i don't count no more
But you're the one i still care for
And you won't see me no more if you see that girl

Now you may think she's fine when she's out with you
But she only comes around when she's got nothing to do
I don't want to interfere
But that girl seems so insincere
And i won't hang around here if you see that girl

Do you believe the things that she said to you tonight
Why can't you see the way she treats you isn't right?

Now i won't tell you again, it's up to you
But you'd better make up your mind what you're gonna do
Don't you know i want you still
I'm so afraid i always will
And i'll be loving you till you see that girl
I'll keep on loving you till you see that girl
I'll still be loving you till you see that girl
See that girl
See that girl

When you're out there lying in the sun
He's the one who keeps his clothing on
You'd never know him on a train or a bus
'cos he looks just like the rest of us
In the middle of the night it's a different story
Don't let him catch you all alone

The real ripper
... ... your pay packet (?)
The real ripper
Wearing a dinner jacket
Ask anyone you meet and they'll say the same
Noone is quite sure of his name

Keep your hand on your heart but he's gonna get you
He's gonna make you toe the line

He's the ... laden master of disguise
And he invented high rise
On the council they're respectable and ... (?)
A bounce around the clock and turn away (?)
Ask anyone you meet and they'll say the same
Noone is quite sure of his name

The real ripper
He went to school today
The real ripper
Took all the books away
Keep your hand on your heart but he's gonna get you
He's gonna make you toe the line

When we make love you know it feels so fine
Any way you want it baby i don't mind
Anything you do you know i can't complain
Come and kiss me honey, here i go again

I get a kind of power, don't know where it's from
Ooee babe you turn my motor on
I get a kind of power, don't know where it's from
Ooee babe you turn my motor on

When we have fun you it feels alright
Wanna see you morning, afternoon and night
I don't care where, you know i don't mind when
Just arouse my interest, here i go again

I get a kind of power, don't know where it's from
Ooee babe you turn my motor on
I get a kind of power, don't know where it's from
Ooee babe you turn my motor on

We're all alone now now baby please don't hide
Come on over here, i'm gonna swallow your pride
Don't act cool now baby, try romance
It ain't every day that you get a chance like this baby

You don't have to catch me, i ain't on the run
Who wants your brain, your body's too much fun
Just keep on smiling, you ain't in no pain
Move a little closer, here i go again

I get a kind of power, don't know where it's from
Ooee babe you turn my motor on
I get a kind of power, don't know where it's from
Ooee babe you turn my motor on
Oohoo you turn my motor on
Oohoohoo you turn my motor on

He had the kind of face she'd seen on the tv
He drove her home one night and made her happy
He used to phone her after work at the weekend
And took her out when he had some money to spend

Falling for faces, changing places
Just like the hard cases out on the ... (?)

After a while she used to see him every day
And pretty soon when they had run out of things to say
Ideas came to her she tried to ignore
Got what she wanted but now she wasn't so sure

Falling for faces, changing places
Just like the hard cases out on the ... (?)
The light of the screen grew too bright in her dreams
She was searching for something she'd lost in her teens

Misunderstandings caused by lack of honesty
They got him worried, got her feeling guilty
Felt so sincere but she was easily impressed
And every time she had the chance she got undressed

Falling for faces, changing places
Just like the hard cases out on the ... (?)
Falling for faces
Falling for faces

The clock goes round and round
And i get so tired of this old town
But i still hang around though i know that there's nothing to do
Seems every monday morning
I'm late for work, i get another warning
I don't think i'd stay around here if it wasn't for you

All the friends i had at school
Went their separate ways
Some i don't miss, some i do
But when i see them we've got nothing to say
Every weekday goes so slow
Weekends go too fast
Must make up my mind to go
Before another year goes past

The clock goes round and round
And i get so tired of this old town
But i still hang around though i know that there's nothing to do
Seems every monday morning
I'm late for work, i get another warning
And i don't think i'd stay around here if it wasn't for you

Same old faces every night
Every day it rains
Repetition drives me crazy
I just can't stand it all over again

The clock goes round and round
And i get so tired of this old town
But i still hang around though i know that there's nothing to do

I'm saving my cash to get out of here
You can come too
You don't get me down like the others do

Seems to me i wake up bored
Seven days a week
I need a chance to speak my mind
Before i've got no mind to speak
Can't believe the friends i've seen
Think they're doing fine
It's not enough for me
And i know that i'm just wasting time

Because the clock goes round and round
And i get so tired of this old town
But i still hang around though i know that there's nothing to do
Seems every monday morning
I'm late for work, i get another warning
I don't think i'd stay around here if it wasn't for you

I hear a lot of talk about the things you say are good for me to do
I've tried cooperation but i don't get nothing coming back from you

So don't you like my face?
No you look just fine
Don't i know my place?
No you're out of line
Should i shave off my hair?
Yeah, and i'll shave mine
I don't like the things you try to make me do
And i don't need you
I don't need you

What am i gonna do, you drive me crazy when you say those things you say
Every time i see you you have to fight the urge to walk the other way

Don't you like my face?
No you look just fine
Don't i know my place?
No you're out of line
Should i shave off my hair?
Yeah, and i'll shave mine
I don't like the things you try to make me do
And i don't need you
I don't need you

I don't need you to tell me what to wear
You can say that i don't care, it's true
I don't need you to tell me how to speak
I won't become some kind of geek like you

Just to hear you talk you'd think the world revolves 'round what you've got to say
Now you can give me trouble but i'm going to give it back to you some day

You don't like my face
No you look just fine
I don't know my place
No you're out of line
Should i shave off my hair?
Yeah, and i'll shave mine
I don't like the things you try to make me do
And i don't need you
I don't need you

I'm staying home this evening
And playing my guitar
And all the time i'm strumming
I'm wondering where you are
Oh yes i know it's over
I know i shouldn't care
But i can't get away from you
It seems you're always there

How come i don't see you anymore?
How come we lost the magic touch?
Why can't i pick up the telephone
When i want to call you so much?
Who's going to make me forget you
And get you off my mind?
I could be out breaking other people's hearts
If you weren't still breaking mine

The winter's drawing in again
Another year has passed
Now i think of things i meant to say
But the time went by so fast
I hear you're living in new york these days
And you don't come here any more
I keep asking myself so many questions
But lately i wonder what i'm wondering for

Who's going to make me forget you
And get you off my mind?
I could be out breaking other people's hearts
If you weren't still breaking mine

I let you pass me by
I never tried too hard
Though you'll never see me cry
You really made your mark

How come i don't see you anymore?
How come we lost the magic touch?
And why can't i pick up the telephone
When i want to hear your voice so much?
Who's going to make me forget you
And get you off my mind?
I could be out breaking other people's hearts
If you weren't
If you weren't still breaking mine

He buys me movies and i am the star
He sends me to work in a black shiny car
The girls in the chorus are jealous as hell
But i find it pays when you kiss and you tell
So i jetset around from one place to another
With lots of young geezers he thinks are my brothers
Britt's got her toy boys but i don't care
'cos i'm going out with an 80 year old millionaire

The friends i once knew are a thing of the past
I can't stop to talk 'cos i'm moving too fast
I go to the shops with a chauffeur sometimes
He waits in the car 'cos it saves on the fines
Well you might think that when he's so rich that seems funny
But he got that way 'cos he's careful with money
Zsa zsa's quite gaga but i don't care
'cos i'm going out with an 80 year old millionaire

He won't last much longer if he keeps drinking gin
I filled up the bottle that's marked medicine
He says that he'll leave all his empire to me
And sitting on top is the best place to be
So don't get impatient now boys you must wait
We'll all have such fun when i own the estate
Britt's got her toy boys but i don't care
'cos i'm going out with an 80 year old millionaire

Reporters all ask me if i'd ever switch
But i'd never leave him 'cos he's far too rich
You might want to punch me but you won't dare
'cos i'm going out with an 80 year old millionaire

There's just one thing better than an old millionaire
That's a young millionairess and i'm almost there!
