Valentine

(ferry)

Wish everybody would leave me alone -yeah
They´re always calling on my telephone
When i pick it up there´s no one there
So i walk outside just to take the air
Come on with me cruising down the street
Who knows what you´ll see, who you might meet
This brave new world´s not like yesterday -
It can take you higher than the milky way
Now i´m blinded i can't really see - yeah
No more bright lights confusing me - no
Don´t ask me why i´m feeling blue
'cause loving you is all i can do
Hey good-looking boys - gather around
The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down
All those lies can be so unkind,
They can make you feel like you´re losing your mind
Street life
Street life
Street life
What a life
Back to nature boys - vasser girls too
Watch what you say, or think, or do
Continental-style strasse girls might
But you know exactly if it´s wrong or right
Education is an important key - yes
But the good life´s never won by degrees - no
Pointless passing through harvard or yale
Only window shopping - it's strictly no sale
Week end starts friday soon after eight
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
You may be stranded if you stick around
- and that´s really something...

There´s a new sensation
A fabulous creation
A danceable solution
To teenage revolution
Do the strand love
When you feel love
It´s the new way
That´s why we say
Do the strand
Do it on the tables
Quaglino´s place or mabel´s
Slow and gentle
Sentimental
All styles served here
Louis seize he prefer
Laissez-faire le strand
Tired of the tango
Fed up with fandango
Dance on moonbeams
Slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans
You know what i mean
Do the strand

Had your fill of quadrilles
The madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the beguine
The samba isn´t your scene
They´re playing our tune
By the pale moon
We´re incognito
Down the lido
And we like the strand
Arabs at oasis
Eskimos and chinese
If you feel blue
Look through who´s who
See la goulue
And nijinsky
Do the strandsky
Weary of the waltz
And mashed potato schmaltz
Rhododendron
Is a nice flower
Evergreen
It lasts forever
But it can´t beat strand power
The sphynx and mona lisa
Lolita and guernica
Did the strand

Somebody told me
Just the other day
That you´re leaving me
We´re through
Well if you knew
How it hurt me so
Then you´d change your mind
I´m sure
Don´t want to hear
What´s going on
I don´t care
What´s new
Don´t want to know
About anything
'cause all i want
Is you
Going out with other girls
Was always such a bore
But since i fell in love with you
I need you more and more
Don´t want to know
About one-night-stands
Cut-price souvenirs
All i want is
The real thing
And a night that lasts
For years.
If you ever change your mind
I´ve a certain cure
An old refrain, it lingers on
L´amour, toujours l´amour...
Don´t want to learn
About etiquette
From glossy magazines
Why should i try
To talk correct
Like they do
In another scenes
Say no more
About imagery
You´re starting to confuse
Just make an offer
Of more romance
Of course i can´t refuse
All i want is you
Oo oo i´m all cracked up on you.
