unknown

On the night that i was leaving,
The moon rose in the sky.
As i came, to fetch my suitcase,
And then you began to cry.
I've never seen you look so ugly as the way you did that night.
That night was eighteen months ago.
Now i'm two hours from the station.
Yeah i'm coming home again.
I'm gonna show this town who's master soon as i get off this train.
You're gonna love me more than ever,
And the sun will shine again.
And i will kiss your face,
And i will make you smile again.
And then the whole damn town will come on out to welcome me.
Oh they will open all the doors and give it all to me.
Oh no but still your voice is ringing in my ears.
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?
And i can't, i can't believe it's happening.
I know that, oh there must be some mistake.
You found yourself another lover,
And you're glad we made the break.
Oh you don't even, you don't even want to see me.
You just wanna wave and say "goodbye.
Go away now, and leave us alone,
No this house is not your own."
And now the whole damn town has come on out to laugh at me.
Oh yeah.
Oh they can stare for evermore; you do not care for me.
Oh no.
Oh they can stare now for a hundred thousand years.
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?
Don't you want me anymore?

As the sun shines down on the land,
So her heart is crying for love.
And there is no-one there,
No-one to hear her voice.
And she will sleep alone again tonight.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
But he is somewhere else,
Somewhere she cannot see.
Oh, and the night is dark between them now,
"my god, my god, why did he go away?"
Now the sun shines on a new town.
With a smile he gets off the train.
He lights a cigarette,
Leans back to see the sky.
Oh and he thinks how much better off he is,
Without her hanging round.
Let's do it.
And the day is passing by him,
And he has nowhere to stay.
At a lonely bar-room table,
His mind goes back to yesterday,
To the girl who's dead and buried,
But her face lives in his eyes.
He must forget that face forever.
Make the future start tonight.
But the meal he eats is dead flesh.
There is cancer in his cigarettes.
And the drinks won't do a thing for him,
But revive some stupid memories.
Then a hairstyle that reminds him,
Makes him run into the night,
Where the moon hangs high above him now,
The same moon that she's praying on tonight.
But the wind catches her words.
And the moon swallows them whole.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
The night is cold and dark, and she is all alone.
The bed is empty now.
Her body screams for love.
She wants to be with him.
Oh but he's so far away.
Oh and the night is dark between them now
"my god, my god, why did he go away?"

Oh I know I don't own you / but I don't even know if I should phone you / Someone sending
me letters / saying you've been going with other fellers / And they / bored you / But I /
don't wanna cry / or talk for hours / to a machine / on the end / of a telephone line / Oh
it just kills me / when all you've got to do is call / Oh do it any time / 'cause there's
never no-one home / never no-one home / Leave your message on the ansaphone / I'm not
trying to be clever / but at least we're not still living together / All those calls in
the evening / if I answered they'd hang up without speaking / And they / bored you / But I
/ don't want to cry / or talk for hours / to a machine / on the end / of a telephone line
/ Oh it just kills me / when all you've got to do is call / Oh do it any time / 'cause
there's never no-one home / never no-one home / Leave your message on the ansaphone /
[Beep!] / 'Hello, its me. I just wanted to call and say it doesn't matter what you
get up to. I just want you to stay in touch. That's all.' / Are you really not at
home? / Or are you there but not alone? / Screening calls / you don't want to receive /
meaning calls / calls that come from me / Oh I / need to see you / It's not enough for me
just to hear you / You said you'd be here by ten thirty / but you want to stay out and be
dirty / Oh it just kills me / when all you've got to do is call / Oh do it any time /
'cause there's never no-one home / never no-one home / Leave your message on the
ansaphone.

The city is a woman
Bigger than any other
Oh, sophisticated lady
Yeah, i wanna be your lover
Not your brother, not your mother, yeah

The sun rose from behind the gasometers at six-thirty a.m.,
Crept through the gap in your curtains,
Caressed your bare feet poking from beneath the floral sheets.
I watched him flaking bits of varnish from your nails,
Trying to work his way up under the sheets.
Jesus!
Even the sun's on heat today
The whole city getting stiff in the building heat.

I just want to make contact with you
Oh that's all i wanna do
I just want to make contact with you
Oh that's all
I wanna do

Now i'm trying hard to meet her
But the fares went up at seven
She is somewhere in the city
Somewhere watching television
Watching people being stupid
Doing things she can't believe in
Love won't last `til next installment
Ten o' clock on tuesday evening
The world is going on outside
The night is gaping open wide
The wardrobe and the chest of drawers
Are telling her to go outdoors
He should have been here by this time
He said that he'd be here by nine
That guy is such a prick sometimes
I don't know why you bother, really.

Oh babe
Oh i'm sorry
But i
I just had to make love to every crack in the pavement
And the shop doorways
And the puddles of rain that reflected your face in my eyes.

The day didn't go too well.
Too many chocolates and cigarettes.
I kept thinking of you and almost walking into lamp-posts.
Why's it so hot?
The air coming up to the boil
Rubbing up against walls and lamp-posts trying to get rid of it.
Old women clack their tongues in the shade of crumbling concrete bus shelters.
Dogs doing it in central reservations
And causing multiple pile-ups in the centre of town.
I didn't want to go in the first place,
But i've been sentenced to three years in the housing benefit waiting room.
I must have lost your number in the all-night garage,
And now i'm wandering up and down your street,
Calling you name,
In the rain,
Whilst my shoes turn to sodden cardboard.
Where are you? [candida:] (i'm here)
[jarvis:] where are you? (i'm here)
Where are you? (i'm here)
Where are you? (i'm here)
Where are you? (i'm here)
Where are you? (i'm here)
Where are you?

I'm still trying hard to meet you
But it doesn't look like happening
Cos the city's out to get me
But i won't sleep with her this evening
Though her buildings are impressive
And her cul-de-sacs amazing
She's had too many lovers
And i know you're out there waiting
And now she's getting into bed
He's had his chance now it's too late
The carpet's screaming for her soul
The darkness wants to eat her whole
Tonight must be the night it ends
Tomorrow she will call her friends
And go out on her own somewhere
Who needs this shit anyway?
Oh listen,
I wandered the streets the whole night,
Trying to pick up your scent
Writing messages on walls
And the puddles of rain reflected your face in my eyes.

We finally made it...
On a hill-top at four a.m.
The whole city is your jewellery-box
A million twinkling yellow street lights.
Reach out and take what you want
You can have it all.
Jesus it took a long time.
I didn't think we were gonna make it.
So bad during the day,
But now snug and warm under an eiderdown sky.
Oh the things we saw:
Everyone on park hill came in unison at four-thirteen a.m.
And the whole block fell down.
The tobacconist caught fire,
And everyone in the street died of lung cancer.
We heard groans coming from the t-reg chevette;
You bet, you bet, yeah you bet.
And tomorrow...?

Oh i was trying hard to meet her
But the fares went up at seven
She was somewhere in the city
Somewhere watching television
Watching people being stupid
Doing things she can't believe in
Love won't last `til next installment
Ten o'clock on tuesday evening
The world was going on outside
The night was gaping open wide
The wardrobe and the chest of drawers
Were telling her to go outdoors
He should have been there by that time
He said that he'd be there by nine
That guy is such a prick sometimes
Oh yeah,
I want to tell you that
There's nothing to worry about because we can,
We can get it together, oh yeah.
We got it together tonight, didn't we?
I'd say we did, yeah
We've got a hope.

I know i'm getting on
And you're so very young
But would you like to stay
Until next saturday
Or sunday?
I'll give you your own room
It's next door to my room
And some time in the night
Well, maybe i just might

Oh take your clothes off won't you please?
You don't have to talk to me
Just leave the light on so i can see
You've got everything i need
Oh yeah

You know i can't forget
That special night we met
At the local p.t.a.
When your mother came to say
That you'd been taking days off school
I turned and looked at you, i said
"yes, i understand
I'm gonna take this girl in hand."

Oh take your clothes off, one two three
No you don't have to talk to me
Just leave the light on so i can see
You've got everything you need
Oh yeah
Cos i never had a woman before
I was too scared to touch the girls in the poly
And i don't know what it's like to be young
Cos all my life i've been knocking on forty
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

- "so if i, put my hand, on your bosom..."
- "yeah?"
- "...would that....give you an orgasm? no that's not right
But, but if we, if we kissed with tongues..."
- haha
- "...won't that, wouldn't that make, wouldn't that make you come?"

Oh take your clothes off won't you please?
No you don't have to talk to me
Just leave the light on so i can see
You've got everything i need
Oh oh oh
Just one touch was all it took
No you can't learn it from a book
Let's go upstairs and have a
Look
Oh you've got everything i need
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah

I used to hate the sun because it shone on everything i'd done.
Made me feel that all that i had done was overfill the ashtray of my life.
All my achievements in days of yore range from pathetic
To piss-poor, but all that's gonna change.
Because here comes sunrise. yeah, here's your sunrise.
I used to hide from the sun, tried to live my whole life underground.
Why'd you have to rise & ruin all my fun?
Just turned over, closed the curtains on the day.
But here comes sunrise.
Yeah, here's your sunrise when you've been awake
All night long & you feel like crashing out at dawn.
But you've been awake all night, so why should you crash out at dawn?

This is our "music from a bachelors den" -
The sound of loneliness turned up to ten.
A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water-bed
And it sounds just like this.
This is the sound of someone losing the plot -
Making out that they're okay when they're not.
You're gonna like it,
But not a lot
And the chorus goes like this:

Oh baby,
Here comes the fear again.
The end is near again.
A monkey's built a house on your back.
You can't get anyone to come in the sack
And here comes another panic attack
Oh here we go again.

So now you know the words to our song,
Pretty soon you'll all be singing along.
When you're sad, when you're lonely
And it all turns out wrong.
When you've got the fear.
And hen you're no longer searching
For beauty or love -
Just some kind of life
With the edges taken off.
When you can't even define what it is that you're frightened of
This song will be here.

Oh baby,
Here comes the fear gain.
The end is near again.
If you ever get that chimp off your back.
If you ever find the thing that you lack
But you know you're only having a laugh
And here we go again.
Until the end.

You are hardcore, you make me hard.
You name the drama and i'll play the part.
It seems i saw you in some teenage wet dream.
I like your get-up if you know what i mean.
I want it bad.
I want it now.
Oh can't you see i'm ready now.
I've seen all the pictures, i've studied them forever.
I wanna make a movie so let's star in it together.
Don't make a move 'til i say "action."
Oh here comes the hardcore life.
Put your money where your mouth is tonight.
Leave your make-up on and i'll leave on the light.
Come over here babe and talk in the mic.
Oh yeah i hear you now.
It's gonna be one hell of a night.
You can't be a spectator. oh no.
You got to take these dreams and make them whole
Oh this is hardcore -
There is no way back for you.
Oh this is hardcore -
This is me on top of you
And i can't believe it took me this long.
That it took me this long.
This is the eye of the storm.
It's what men in stained raincoats pay for
But in here it is pure. yeah.
This is the end of the line.
I've seen the storyline played out so many times before.
Oh that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
Then that goes in there.
And then it's over.
Oh, what a hell of a show
But what i want to know:
What exactly do you do for an encore?
Cos this is hardcore.

He's in a room
He sees the floor
He sees the wall
He sees the roof
He sees the door
It's nine thirty-eight
So he goes up to the door
And he finds himself in another room
Identical to the one before
The clock still reads nine thirty-eight
So he goes out of that room
But he finds himself in a parallel room
A mirror image of the one before
He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the door
He hits the door
The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He throws it at the roof
He breaks a hole
He climbs out
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
He sees the sky
The stars are small lightbulbs
Set in a black cardboard dome
He climbs out
He sees the stars, he sees the sky
The stars are small lightbulbs
Set in a black cardboard dome
He hits the floor
He hits the wall
He hits the roof
He hits the dome
He hits the dome
Condemned
This house
This house is

Fill in housing form
Buy one clock

Sort housing papers
Still nine thirty-eight
Two thousand years from now
It will still be ticking
He hits the floor
Wall, roof, door
The clock reads nine thirty-eight
He hits the dome
Door, wall
Space, floor
Time
He sees the moon
He sees the stars
For some romantic reason
Space, dome, door, wall, clockface
Space, time, place, floor, wall, door, roof
This is one small step for mankind
One giant leap for man
Ten

We have lift-off
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
He sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the earth
For some romantic reason
He takes the clock, he breaks the dome, he sees the moon,
He sees the stars, he sees the sky, he sees the earth
Space, time, place, condensed
Space, time, place, condemned
This is house is
This house is
This house is
Condemned
This house is
This house is
This house is
Condemned.

You'd better watch what you're wearing,
If you want him to come round and see you tonight.
He doesn't care what it looks like,
Just as long as it's pink and it's tight.

Oooh, so what should you do?
Should you stop being you?
Just to be how he wants you?
Oooh, say you'll visit your mum,
Then tell me that you'll come,
And meet me in the afternoon.
He's got your heart,
He's got control.
You might as well know.
I know you're never going to be with me,
But if you try sometimes then maybe,
You could get it right first time.
I realise that you'll never leave him,
But every now and then in the evening.
You could get it right first time.
I know you think i've got to be joking,
But if you touch him again then i'm going.
You got it right first time.
Get it right first time.

Now you've done it once now he wants you,
To wear your pink glove all the time.

Oooh, so what should you do?
Should you stop being you?
Just to be how he wants you?
Oooh, say you'll visit your mum,
Then tell me that you'll come,
And meet me in the afternoon.
He's got your heart,
He's got control.
You might as well know.
I know you're never going to be with me
But if you try sometimes then maybe,
You could get it right first time.
I realise that you'll never leave him,
But every now and then in the evening.
You could get it right first time.
I know you think i've got to be joking,
But if you touch him again then i'm going.
You got it right first time.
Get it right first time.

Oh you'll always be together,
Cos he gets you up in leather.
So you know what to wear at the end of the day,
And i'd laugh if i saw,
But i'm out of the way.
Yeah it's too long ago,
Shouldn't care anymore but i wanted to know;
Is it as good as before?
Yeah it's hard to believe that you'd go for that stuff,
All those baby-doll nighties with synthetic fluff.
Yeah it looks pretty good and it fits you ok,
Wear your pink glove babe,
He put it on the wrong way.

I know you're never going to be with me
But if you try sometimes then maybe,
You could get it right first time.
I realise that you'll never leave him,
But every now and then in the evening.
You could get it right first time.
I know you think i've got to be joking,
But if you touch him again then i'm going.
You got it right first time.
Get it right first time.

We didn't have no where to live, / we didn't have nowhere to go / 'til someone said /
'I know this place off Burditt Road.' / It was on the fifteenth floor, / it had
a board across the door. / It took an hour / to pry it off and get inside. / It smelt as
if someone had died; / the living-room was full of flies, / the kitchen sink was blocked,
/ the bathroom sink not there at all. / Ooh, / it's a mess alright, / yes it's / Mile End.
/ And now we're living in the sky! / I'd never thought I'd live so / high, / just like
Heaven / (if it didn't look like Hell.) / The lift is always full of piss, / the fifth
floor landing smells of fish / (not just on Friday, / every single other day.) / Below the
kids come out tonight, / they kick a ball and have a fight / and maybe shoot somebody if
they lose at pool. / Ooh, / it's a mess alright, / yes it's / Mile End. / [mumbled
mutterings... you love it...] / Oo-ooh / Nobody wants to be your friend / 'cause you're
not from round here, / ooh / as if that was / something to be proud about. / The pearly
king of the Isle of Dogs / feels up children in the bogs. / Down by the playing fields, /
someone sets a car on fire I guess you have to go right down / before you understand just
how, / how low, / how low a human being can go. / Ooh, / it's a mess alright, / yes it's /
Mile End. / (don't do that! Leave it out!) / Bababa... / Lalala...

Here in the night love takes control.
Making me high
Making me whole.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No i don't know.
No no no.
No i don't know.

When i close my eyes i can see you lowering yourself to my level.
I don't know where you got those clothes,
You can take them off if it makes you feel better.

Don't stop it now.
Now is so right.
Now as the day slips away
And we slide into night.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No i don't know know.
No no no.
No i don't know.

I open my eyes and you're there,
Even better in the flesh it would seem.
I'm so ready and willing and able it's untrue,
To act out this love scene
And make my dreams come true.
And how many others have touched themselves
Whilst looking at pictures of you?
How many others could handle it if all their dreams came true?
I don't expect you to answer straight away,
Maybe you're just having an off day
But i need to believe in you.
Yes i do.
Yes i do.

Oh i want you here in my heart.
Here in my head.
Live all your dreams for tonight
Here in your bed.
I don't know.
Oh no no no.
No i don't know.
No no no.
No i don't know.

So roll the soundtrack and dim the lights
Cos i'm not going home tonight.
This love scene has begun.
There's nothing left for us to do but get it on.
Lets make this the greatest love scene from a play no-one's thought up yet.
I know you're feeling the same as me but what you gonna do about it?
Now here's an exclusive:
I've wanted you for years.
I only needed the balls to admit it.
When the unbelievable object meets the unstoppable force
There's nothing you can do about it.
No.
I will light your cigarette with a star that has fallen from the sky.
Breathe in, breathe out,
I love the way you move.
Don't let anyone tell you any different tonight.
You are beauty,
You are class,
You showed it all
But you still kept a little piece back just for me.
A little piece back just for me.
Just for me.
Oh i don't know how you do it
But i love the way you do it,
When you're doing it to me.
And if this is a dream then i'm going to sleep for the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life.
For the rest of my life.

The feel of my arm around your waist, the pale blue nightdress that you wore.
Your hair in braids, your sailor top: the things i don't see anymore.
You lost your suitcase in my hotel room, a subway token from your ma.
The sun reflecting off the water on your face & the way you drove your car.
All these things i can't forget tho' i don't see you anymore.

Drove to the airport thru' a traffic jam; a deer lay dying in the road.
Maybe i should have seen it as some kind of sign, except i don't believe in them no more.
No, no - but i believe these things i can't forget, tho' i don't see you anymore.
Yes, i believe these things i can't forget, 'cos i see them - tho' i don't see you anymore.

I know I'm getting on / and you're so very young / but would you like to stay / until next
Saturday / or Sunday? / I'll give you your own room / it's next door to my room / and some
time in the night / well, maybe I just might / Oh take your clothes off won't you please?
/ You don't have to talk to me / just leave the light on so I can see / You've got
everything I need / Oh yeah / You know I can't forget / that special night we met / at the
local P.T.A. / when your mother came to say / that you'd been taking days off school / I
turned and looked at you, I said / 'Yes, I understand / I'm gonna take this girl in

just leave the light on so I can see / You've got everything you need / Oh yeah / 'Cause
I've never had a woman before / I was too scared to touch the girls in the Poly / And I
don't know what it's like to be young / 'Cause all my life I've been knocking on forty /
Oh yeah / Oh yeah / Oh yeah / Oh yeah / [Jarvis:] So if I / put my hand / on your bosom...
/ [Candida:] Yeah? / [Jarvis:] ...would that / give you an orgasm? / No that's not right /
But, but if we / if we kissed with tongues / [Candida:] [giggles] / [Jarvis:] won't that /
wouldn't that make / wouldn't that make you come? / Oh take your clothes off won't you
please? / No you don't have to talk to me / just leave the light on so I can see / You've

from a book / Let's go upstairs and have a / look / Oh you've got everything I need / Oh
yeah / Oh yeah, oh yeah / Oh yeah, oh yeah / Oh yeah / Hit me.

You're in safe hands here cos i'm a ladies' man.
I got my work cut out i'm doing what i can.
So hold me, touch me, thrill me.
Don't ever let me go.
Don't ask me to explain it,
Cos you don't wanna know

Ahh ahh.
Your hair is beautfiul tonight.
Oooh oooh.
Hold me now the feeling's right.
Just below the surface is a fear that just won't go.
So come on and hold me.
Come on and hold me, hold me, hold me

I know a place where we can go and be just what we want.
I don't wanna be me;
I get so tired and bored.
So don't ask any questions,
And i will tell no lies.
Stop living like some housewife,
And be yourself tonight.

Ahh ahh.
Your hair is beautfiul tonight.
Oooh oooh.
Hold me now the feeling's right.
Just below the surface is a fear that just won't go.
So come on and hold me.
Come on and hold me, hold me, hold me

(save me from my own hand)
Oooohhh, set the controls for the heart of the pelvis
Haven't you heard my name rhymes with elvis
And one thing i know is this
That your mouth is telling me to give you
A big kiss
(now my guard's down)

(save me from my own hand)
Ahhhh, can't you see what's an offer
Yeah babe it's going cheap today
I enter a room and all the girls say
C'mon jarv, can i be the first?
Oh you make us so hot we feel we're gonna burst
(now my guard's down)
Oh yeah...

So please, so please
Don't leave me alone in this double bed
It smells of damp towels and asthma inhalers
Say you're gonna call back later
Save me from these glossy photographs
Save me from my mother's laugh
Save me
(now my guard's down)
That's right girls
That's right girls
Save me from my own hand
Do you know how much
I want you?
Don't stop

The night was ending
He needed her undressed
He said he loved her
She tried to look impressed
After the break-up
It's just something you do
To stop the night-time
From falling down on you

The world is ending
The sky is falling down
She's at the station
Because she's leaving town
Oh you could stop her
If you get out of bed
She wants to see you
At least that's what she said
You've got a minute
At the very most
And she's gone gone gone gone gone yes she's going away
Oh yes she's going away
Oh yes she's going away
Oh yes she's going away

And now it's over
Cos i just saw the end
I saw the credits
I turned around and then
I saw her running
Coming back to me
The sky exploded
But i couldn't see

The world is ending
The sky is falling down
She's at the station
Because she's leaving town
Oh you could stop her
If you get out of bed
She wants to see you
At least that's what she said
You've got a minute
At the very most
And she's gone and she's gone and she's gone
Oh yes she's going away

As the signs outside proclaimed,
Nature sometimes makes mistakes.
Was it the mother or the father to blame,
Inside the damp grass and tilted tent?

Won't you come with me to the fairground?
Your head
Will be spinning,
I said your head
Is your feet.
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
At the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
The man has come between us,
His cheeks rattle like a fence,
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

I sought shelter from the storm in a small inn by the coast.
In the children's room three identical sisters sat,
Except for the one who was hideously deformed;
Her grotesque features seemed to parody her sisters' beauty,
Ridiculing and mocking everything i held dear.

Won't you come with me to the fairground?
Your head
Will be spinning,
I said your head
Is your feet.
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
At the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
The man has come between us,
His cheeks rattle like a fence,
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!)

The fish-eyed foetus floated blankly in the yellowed waters, still as wax.
The man came between us,
My sister and i,
Ridiculing and parodying everything we held dear,
Making a mockery of our former emotions.
Dragging it all down to his level.

Won't you come with me to the fairground?
Your head
Will be spinning.
And the man at the side of me starts a lewd laugh
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
At the cat with two heads and the dog with eight legs.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
The man has come between us,
His cheeks rattle like a fence,
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
He's come between us, and he starts a lewd laugh.
(ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
And then we went for rides.
[jarvis:] roll up, roll up, nice rides...
Come on, spin those cars boys and make the girls scream!
The louder you scream the faster we go!
Come on, roll up, go on, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
For the ride of a lifetime.
There's plenty of seats, come on, don't be shy!
Roll up, come on, come on!
[shreiking and wailing laughter]
And then we went for rides.

When you think you're treading water, but you're just learning how to drown.
And a song comes on the radio telling you that "the only way is down".
You're out of luck, you're out of time, get out of here.
Your lover just traded you in for the very same model but a much more recent year.
It will not stop, it will get worse from day to day 'til you admit that you're a fuck-up; like the rest of us.
Oh, that's the time you fall apart .
That's the time the teardrops start & that's the time you fall in love again.
Yeah, that's the time you fall in love again.
The recreational pursuits that made you shine have worn you thin.
And it's oh so fine getting out of your mind as long as you can find your way back in.
You want someone to screw your brains out
I'd say they're running out of time & they'd only go & cut themselves on the daggers of your mind.
This is your future.
This is the sentence you must serve 'til you admit that you're a fuck-up like the rest of us.
Oh, that's the time you fall apart.
That's the time the teardrops start & that's the time you fall in love again.
When you've had enough, when you've had too much,
When you got knocked down & you never got up.
That's the time you fall in love again.
Oh, when you walked into the room i could not breathe, i could not speak.
Please could i hide myself inside you?
As far inside as it's possible to be.
Can you assist me? i could not make it on my own.
Can i give you all the love i have?
It's not much but i'll try & raise a loan.
I have no pride left, no, no there is nothing i'm trying to prove
No, i am a fuck-up; just the same as you.
Oh, i guess this is where i fall apart
And i guess this is where the teardrops start but i don't care 'cos i just fell in love again.
And i'd had enough - well, far too much
I just fell down, could you please help me up?
"cos if you help me maybe i could fall in love again. na na na.

Ah ah ah ah ah... / Tonight's the night / Open your door and I'll come inside / Don't be
afraid, it willbe alright / I will change your whole life tonight / and you're so
beautiful / too beautiful for this dead-end world / I'm taking you to a better place / oh,
far away from this stupid race, oh / Come with me / for ever / and ever / please come with
me / for ever / No, don't let me down / oh, don't make me cry / Lie in my arms / and be
mine tonight / Do it / Oh, did I tell you / that there was no need to be afraid? / Oh,
you've got such a beautiful body / Oh, you'll make such a beautiful body / I smoke these
yellow-lit cul-de-sacs at night / You hear my foot-step on your bedroom stair / and I will
take the first one in every house in town / I'll take your sisters and I'll lay them down
/ I'll lay them down / Tonight! / Mother (mother) / Father (father) / Brother (brother) /
Take them all a- / Ba ba ba ba... / Make you mine / I want your body / Mother (mother) /
Father (father) / Brother (brother) / The wind (the wind) / Streets (streets) / Those
girls (girls) / I walked into town (town) (town).

She likes to watch the moon,
As it travels through the sky,
Cos she's heard that it's romantic,
Though she really can't see why.

Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

So she drinks a cup of coffee,
And telephones a friend,
And she asks if she can make it,
So this night will never end.

Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

But the light comes,
And the day bleeds through the sky,
And the sun,
The sun makes it hard to get through,
And the radio only plays love songs so she cries,
Though she knows it's such a bad thing to do.
In the evening it gets better,
And she thinks how it's not right,
That someone so stupid,
Can so easily screw up your life.

Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

But the light came,
And the day bled through the sky,
And the sun, the sun made it hard to get through,
And the radio only played love songs so she cried,
Though she knew it's such a bad thing to do.
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Someone should have helped her through the day.
Someone like the moon.

I've got the time / and you've got the space / I'm gonna wipe you down / and lick the
smile off your face, the smile off your face / Though we know that it's wrong / towel sets
/ matching combs / Oh it looks so good but does it turn you on? / Oh... / I want you now /
and I want you here / so lie down by the fire / and if the neighbours hear, the neighbours
hear / 'cos they don't understand / what you've got / in your hand / Oh it looks so good
but does it turn you on? / Oh... yeah! / Are we going to do it again? / Sideways? / I was
still in the queue when you came / Delivered me from his 'n' hers / you pulled the units
down / Delivered me from his 'n' hers / and when I saw his face / oh it made me feel
better / Oh now it's gone too far / we gave up hope / and the future's bleak / just a soap
on a rope, a soap on a rope / Put the rope around his neck / Pull it tight / he's erect /
oh and it looks so good but does it turn you on? / Oh... yeah! / Are we going to do it
again? / Shove it in sideways / I was still in the queue when you came / Delivered me from
his 'n' hers / you pulled the units down / Delivered me from his 'n' hers / and when I saw
his face / oh it made me feel better / So we laid in bed afterwards and / she asked me /
what made me frightened / and I said / 'I'm frightened of Belgian chocolates / I'm
frightened of pot pourri / I'm frightened of James Dean posters / I'm frightened of
twenty-six inch screens / I'm frightened of remote control / I'm frightened of endowment
plans / I'm frightened of figurines / I'm frightened of evenings in the Brincliffe Oaks
searching for a conversation.' / 'Oh you're stupid,' she said / and she
took my hand / she took my hand and she said / 'I want / I want you / I want you to /
I want you to touch / I want you to touch me / I want you to touch me.' / Oh... / Are
we going to do it again? / Shove it in sideways / I was still in the queue when you came /
Delivered me from his 'n' hers / you pulled the units down / Delivered me from his 'n'
hers / and when I saw his face / you know it made me feel better.

I woke up in the morning i was still alive
The mirror says i'm fifty-five years old
If i don't look his way, i'm gonna do okay
I'm gonna last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
Last another day without your love
Oh no one lives alone for more than half a year
That's what a friend of mine once said to me
There's more things in the world than holding hands and kissing girls
You've got to last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
Last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
Last another day without your love

Oh but i dreamt of you last night
And the world split into two
I tried to listen to some records but they were all
Singing about you
I can't live on never knowing where my soul is going when i die
I can't last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
I can't last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
I can't last another day without your love

Oh yeah, well i realise
I should think about somebody new instead
That's what i tried to do, but the ones i liked looked just like you
Gotta last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
Last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
Last another day without your love

Oh but i dreamt of you last night
And the world split into two
I tried to listen to some records but they were all
Singing about you
I can't live on never knowing where my soul is going when i die
I can't last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
I can't last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
I can't last another day without your love

It's okay, i'm not a kid anymore
I can last another day without your love
If i focus all my thoughts on something stupid
I can last another day without your love
Ooh gonna last another day
Last another day
Last another day
Last another day
Last another day
Last another day
Last another day
Good god

Oh but i dreamt of you last night
And the world split into two
I tried to listen to some records but they were all
Singing about you
I can't live on never knowing where my soul is going when i die
I can't last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
I can't last another day without your love
Ma ma ma ma ma ma
I can't last another day without your love.

I fell asleep on your sofa,
And had a dream about a small child,
In dungarees,
Who caught his hands in the doors of the paris metro.
Then my face cracked open and you were there,
You were there dressed in green,
Saying something obscene.
But that's why i came here in the first place,
Oh well that and the tea.

Can i stay here,
Lying under the table together with you now?
Can i hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside
And wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea.

Cushions and tv,
And the table set for tea.
One for you, one for me.
Come and lie down on the settee,
In that green jumper,
You can have anything you want.
And the clock is saying,
It's half past four but you know,
I want to stay a little more.

Can i stay here,
Lying under the table together with you now?
Can i hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside
And wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea.

On a pink quilted eiderdown,
I want to pull your knickers down.
Net curtains blow slightly in the breeze.
Lemonade light filtering through the trees.
It's so soft and it's warm.
Just another cup of tea please (one lump thanks).

Can i stay here,
Lying under the table together with you now?
Can i hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside
And wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea.

Oh kevin, shane, julie, diane, wayne, frank,
Heather, rachel, chelsea, leanne, come home.
It's time for your tea.

We're talking again / Smiling and laughing / Ignoring the past / Well I hope you're happy
/ I know there was something / Please don't / let it / die away / I know what you're
thinking / I know / what you / want to say / I won't give it names / For names have no
uses / Just shots in the dark / or easy excuses / I know there was something / Please
don't / let it / die away / I know what you're thinking / I know / what you / want to say
/ Lala lala... / I know there was something / Please don't / let it / die away / I know
what you're thinking / I know / what you / want to say.

She's dying
Everybody came to see
She's falling
And i know i'll never see her face again
And i don't really know
Just why she's leaving
All she ever said
Was she just had to go
And i watch her
As she walks away from me
Yeah, i can see her
Then i know that in a moment she'll be gone
Yeah, she'll be gone and
And then i'll say
"you've got to understand
She's not really breathing
No not at all
Those years of endless rain
They just washed her away."
Oh and i know she's leaving
Yeah she's going for good
Oh and i'd love to go with you
But i never would
Face it
You've blown it this time round
Now i understand
Just why she's leaving
Oh
If she'd have hung around with me
Well you know she'd never go, no nonono
Oh and i know she's leaving
Yeah, she's going for good
And i'd love to go with you
But i never would
Oh and i know she's leaving
Yeah, she's going for good
And i'd love to go with you
Oh but i never would
No i never would
No i never would
No i never would
Oh no
Dadadada dadada...
She's never coming back
Face it
She's gone
Oh
Lalalala lalala...
No i never would
No i never would.

You know sometimes...when we're lying together...
And i know you're asleep...i can hear the soft sound of your breathing...
So i get up...and i go to the window...outside...i can see all the houses...
Curtains shut tight against the night...asleep beneath the roof-tiles...
And as i stand here...i wonder...i wonder how many more times...
I'm gonna come here...i wonder how many more times...i'm gonna lie here...
And most of all...most of all i wonder...i wonder what it means...
I just wanna know what it means...so i woke her...
And we went walking through the sleeping town...
Down deserted streets...frozen gardens grey in the moonlight...
Fences...down to the canal...
Creeping slowly past the cooling towers...
Deserted factories...looking for an adventure...
I wandered the streets calling your name...jumping walls...
Hoping to see a light in the window...let me in...
Let me come in...let me in tonight...
Oh i see you shivering in the garden...
Silver goose-flesh in the moonlight ...she's balancing...
There are so many others...with unbroken eyes...
No cellulite afternoons... and she is balancing...
Balancing on the edge of ugliness tonight...
She is balancing...

Good god!
My legendary girlfriend,
She is crying tonight,
Oh no she doesn't feel right,
She's got no-one to hold,
Her love is a sham,
He is dancing somewhere.
Oh no he doen't care,
Oh well, he'll never know.

Jump...touch my hair...i wanna...i don't care...cos tonight...we could,
Maybe we...maybe we can touch the sky...do you think that we can...
Do you think that we can...touch the sky...please...i know...
I know it's not forever...but tonight i don't care...
Your skin so pale in the moonlight...
And the way your lips swell up when you're asleep...
Nothing else matters...do you know how much i want you?...
Can you feel how much i want you?...
Oh
Pitsmoor woman
Oh let
Oh let me in tonight

My legendary girlfriend,
She is crying tonight,
Oh no she doesn't feel right,
She's got no-one to hold.
Her love is a sham,
He is dancing somewhere.
Oh no he doen't care,
Oh well, he'll never know.
And all the stars came out tonight,
And the moon came on it's face,
It shone right though the clothes she wore,
It shone right through the dress she wore.
Good god

Oh, y'know...listen...listen...please...oh...i just wanna...
I just wanna... ...he falls to sleep again...no cheese tonight...she knows

My legendary girlfriend,
She is crying tonight,
Oh no she doesn't feel right,
She's got no-one to hold.
Her love is a sham,
He is dancing somewhere.
Oh no he doen't care,
Oh well, he'll never know.
And all the stars came out tonight,
And the moon came on it's face.
It shone right through the dress she wore,
It shone right through the clothes she wore.
And the stars and the moon,
And the stars all came down today.
Oh please love me tonight
Good god now!

The trouble with your brother,
He's always sleeping with your mother.
And i know that your sister missed her time again this month.
Am i talking too fast or are you just playing dumb?
If you want i can write it down.
It should matter to you,
Cos aren't you the one,
With your razzmatazz and the nights on the town?

Oh you knew it, and you blew it didn't you babe?
I was lying when i asked you to stay.
Now no-one's gonna care,
If you don't call them when you said.
And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.
And all those stupid little things,
They ain't working,
No they ain't working any more.

You started getting fatter,
Three weeks after i left you.
And now you're going with some kid who looks like some bad comedian.
Are you gonna go out?
Or are you sitting at home eating boxes of milk tray?
Watch tv on your own, aren't you the one,
With your razzmatazz and your nights on the town?

And your father wants to help you doesn't he babe?
But your mother wants to put you away.
Now no-one's gonna care,
If you don't call them when you said.
And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.
And all those stupid little things,
They ain't working,
No they ain't working any more.

Oh well i saw you at the doctor's,
Waiting for a test.
You tried to look like some kind of heiress,
But your face is such a mess.
And now you're going to a party,
And you're leaving on your own.
Well, i'm sorry, but didn't you say,
That things go better with a little bit of razzamatazz?

And now no-one's gonna care,
If you don't call them when you said.
And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.
Now it's half past ten in the evening,
And you wish that you were dead,
Cos all those stupid little things,
They ain't working,
No they ain't working any more.

Without you my life has become a hangover without end.
A movie made for tv:
Bad dialogue, bad acting, no interest.
Too long with no story and no sex.
Is it a kind of weakness to miss someone so much?
To wish the day would go away?
Like you did yesterday.
Just like you did yesterday.
And i can't think of a way to get through this pain.
To be happy again to make it all alright
And i know it must be bad cos sitting here right now,
All i know is i can't even think,
I can't even think of anything clever to say.
So i say:
Why pretend any longer?
Cos i need you here with me.
It's obvious that i miss you so much
So please say you're gnna stay.
So please say you're gonna stay.
So please say you're gonna stay.
The night is getting darker now
And there's nothing on tv
But i'll sit tight
Til morning light.
Yeah, i'll wait until the day.
Until the day that you say you're gonna stay.

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains / I met Captain Farrell and his money he
was countin' / I first produced my pistol and then produced my wager / I said stand and
deliver or the devil he may take ya / Oh ring dum a doo dum a da / Wept for my daddy-o /
Wept for my daddy-o / There's whiskey in the jar-o / I took all of his money and it was a
pretty penny / I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly / She swore that
she'd love me, never would she leave me / But the devil take that woman 'cos you know she
treats me easy / Oh ring dum a doo dum a da / Wept for my daddy-o / Wept for my daddy-o /
There's whiskey in the jar-o / Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber / I lay
down on the bed and I never knew the danger / For about six or maybe seven in walked
Captain Farrell / I jumped up, grabbed hold of my pistols and I shot him with both barrels
/ Oh ring dum a doo dum a da / Wept for my daddy-o / Wept for my daddy-o / There's whiskey
in the jar-o / Now some men like fishin' and some men like a fowlin' / And some men like
ta hear a cannon ball a rollin' / Me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber / But
here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah / Oh ring dum a doo dum a da /
Wept for my daddy-o / Wept for my daddy-o / There's whiskey in the jar-o / Ahlalalala,
lalala.....

Standing there before you / defences thrown aside / I thought I heard you laughing / but
when I asked you said you'd cried / I wanted to believe you / Yes I wanted to feel strong
/ but looking at my picture / I realised I must be wrong / Sounds so weak / it sounds so
fey / it doesn't sound / like what I meant to say / I speak to you / with a borrowed
tongue / Shall I stop right now / or blindly carry on? / Choose one [?] / but I'm not
everyone / I only have one viewpoint / don't talk to me of right or wrong / And didn't I
often tell you / oh didn't I often say / that something in your manner / that really takes
my breath away? / It's not weak / to show I care / I know of those / who wouldn't even
bear / The fact remains / I feel a need / Is it love / or is it simply greed? / It's not
weak / to show I care / I know of those / who wouldn't even bear / The fact remains / I
feel a need / Is it love / or is it simply greed? / You choose what you believe in / as
far as I'm concerned / But one thing I can tell you / is innocence cannot be learned / I
wish you'd stop me talking / oh I wish you'd shut my mouth / Well the reason why I tell
you / is I think that you could help me out / and if you do then there's no doubt / that
all my problems won't just fly away.

I thought that you were joking,
When you said
"i want to see you
To discuss your contribution
To the future of our nation's heart and soul -
Six o'clock my place, white hall"
Well i arrived just after seven.
But you said
"it doesn't matter.
I understand your situation,
And your image,
And i'm flattered.
Oh and i'd just like to tell you,
That i love all of your albums.
Could you sign this for my daugther?
She's in hospital, her name is miriam.
Now i'll get down to the gist -
Do you want a line of this?

Are you a *sniff sniff*
Socialist?

Now i'm doing fine.
(yeah!)
Buzing all the time.
Oh just one hit,
And i feel great.
And i support the welfare state.
Oh you must be a socialist
Cos you're always off and on the piss
In your private members' bar.
Oh yes you are.
You're a superstar.
Well you sing about comon people.
And the mis-shapes and the misfits.
So can you bring them to my party?
And get them all to sniff this?
Oh and all i'm really saying,
Is come on and rock the vote for me.
All i'm really saying,
Is come on, roll up that note for me.
Your choice in all of this is -
Do you want hits or do you want misses?

Are you a *sniff sniff* socialist? yeah.
Socialist yeah.
Socialist yeah.
Oh yeah.

Oh you can be just what you want to be.
Oh just as long as you don't try to compete with me.
We've waited such a long time
For a chance to help our own kind.
So now
Please come on and tow the party line.
Oh you owe it to yourself,
Don't think of anybody else.
And we promise we won't tell.
No we won't tell.
We won't tell.
No we won't.
No we won't.
No we won't.
Oh no we won't tell.

The word's on the street: you've found someone new.
If he looks nothing like me i'm so happy for you.
I heard an old girlfriend has turned to the church -
She's trying to replace me, but it'll never work.
'cos every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
And every time he kisses you it leaves behind the bitter taste of saccharine.
A bad cover version of love is not the real thing.
Bikini-clad girl on the front who invited you in.
Such great disappointment when you got him home -
The original was so good; the one you no longer own.
And every touch reminds you of just how sweet it could have been
And every time he kisses you, you get the taste of saccharine.
It's not easy to forget me, it's so hard to disconnect
When it's electronically reprocessed to give a more life-like effect.

Aah, sing your song about all the sad imitations that got it so wrong
It's like a later "tom & jerry" when the two of them could talk
Like the stones since the eighties, like the last days of southfork.
Like "planet of the apes" on tv, the second side of "'til the band comes in"
Like an own-brand box of cornflakes: he's going to let you down my friend.

You said you wanted some space
Well is this enough for you?
This is what you've waited for
No dust collecting in the corners
No cups of tea that got cold before you drank them
Tonight
Travelling at the speed of thought
We're going to escape into the stars
It doesn't matter if the lifts are out of order
Or the car won't start
We're rising up
Above the city
Over forests
Over fields
Rivers and lakes
Into the clouds
And up above us
The whole universe is shining a welcome
Did you ever really think this day would happen
After days trying to sell washing-machines on your own?
It looked like we never left the ground
But we're weightless
Floating free
We can go wherever we want
Solar systems
Constellations
Galaxies
I'll race you to the nearest planet
How many times have you wished upon a star?
Now you can touch it
You can touch the stars
Go on
Don't be afraid
"i only wanted some space"
Well is this enough for you?
Is it?
Well the stars are bright
But they don't give out any heat
The planets
Are lumps of rock
Floating in a vacuum
Yeah, space is cold
When you're on your own
I think it's time to go home
Pulling my strings
Like a kite that flew too high
And now it's time to come down
Look out below
Wait `til i get back
You can see something
You can see space
But now i know
It's o.k.
Space is o.k.
But i'd rather
I'd rather get my
I'd rather get my kicks down below
Oh yeah
Come on

Wearing a shirt that was trying too hard,
Pissed on a train and he's falling around.
And then i turned around and you were out of sight,
And now there's nowhere for me to stay tonite.
And then i walked around town just to catch you out,
I thought i'd lost myself somewhere in the nite.
Oh is he bigger? and does he make you laugh?
Mamamamamamamamamamamamamamamama let it go.
I could never do anything else,
So what am i gonna do with myself?
I saw him kiss you in the afternoon
Cos i was next door in a double room.
I was listening through the wall as he laid you down.
I don't know what you did,
Oh but i heard the sound.
Oh is he better?
Does he make you scream?
Mamamamamamamamamamamamamamamama let it go.
You've got to tell me know if he's better than me.
I need to know, oh can't you see?
Something strange is getting stronger.
I can't hang on any longer.
Don't you know i want to go away?
Oh jesus christ i know i'm gonna lose the game,
I've only got myself to blame, oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
All right.
I'm gonna leave town,
I'm gonna catch a train.
I'm going somewhere where i can start again.
I'm gonna let it all go just like you said,
I'll look for someone else who can take the blame.
And is he younger?
And can he make you laugh?
Mamamamamamamamamamamamamamamama let it go.
Oh, let it go.
After seven years down a dead-end road i'm gonna get off here,
I'm gonna let it go,
Let it go.
