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

I tried to phone a friend tonight
I paid to get in here and now
The loneliness has found me in the nightclub of my nightmares
The choice between this sweaty hell?
Pornography at novotel,
The redneck show on cnn
And the picture on the wall

Clubland
Clubland
Clubland never meant that much to me
Clubland
Clubland
Clubland never held that much for me

All the little draculas
The suckers and the vacuous
The throbbing of the temples now
And the prices at the bar
Did god send you to kill my joy?
Am i a girl? are you a boy?
If you are prince then i'm rob roy
And the writing's on the wall

Clubland
Clubland
Clubland never meant that much to me
Clubland
Clubland
Clubland never meant a damn to me

I came, i saw, i left and then
I went back to my bed again
I cursed the orange counter pane
And the picture on the wall

I shut my eyes, i closed my head
I prayed i wouldn't wake up dead
But when it's dark you still see red
And the picture on the wall

Clubland
Clubland
Clubland never meant that much to me
Clubland
Clubland
Clubland never lent a hand to me

Clubland

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

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

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

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

Oh dear john
I hate to be the one to break the news
But it's concerning me and you
This is the letter no-one ever wants to write
You may not believe me but it's the hardest thing i've ever done
My eyes see other glories
Other dreams and other stories
And i want to live before i die
Dear john

Ten years on
I still dream and we still hesitate
The passion's all but gone
Oh dear john
Seems we have a bad day every day
I want to sleep my life away
This is the letter no-one ever wants to read
And though it hurts like hell
It may be what you need to tell you
I never wanted to be cruel
But i'm so tired of being the strong one
And i don't always havet he energy
And you always leave it up to me
Dear john

My eyes have seen the glory
There's more to life than my life story
And i'll probably never find him
But i have to keep on looking
And i'm very very sorry dear john

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'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

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

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 walked down by the river where we used to go
And underneath the bridge where we first kissed
The old town that we knew is dead and gone
Gone
The sickly sun shines grayly through the mist
And like the love we used to know
The poisoned river waters flow
And then they're gone
For some of us still life moves on

Our love is just a relic of the past
You'd never recognise the old town now
Somewhere behind the concrete and the glass
The monuments of england's sacred cow
Where are all the human beings?
Have they been sent to milton keynes?
They used to live round here but now they're gone
For some of us still life moves on

Sometimes you look so sad that i could cry
And sometimes when you get mad i want to say goodbye
But i know in my heart i could never be the one to leave
It's just that i find love so hard to believe sometimes

I try to understand all the things that you do
But sometimes i wonder why i chose a man like you
'cos you hurt me without even trying so many times
I can't help but find love so hard to believe sometimes

Sometimes i see your eyes on another girl
Then you say you love me more than the whole wide world
So i've learned to close my eyes to it and not read between the lines
It's just that i find love so hard to believe sometimes
Yes i've learned to close my eyes to it
I've reconciled my mind to it
It's just that i find love so hard to believe sometimes
I said that i find love so hard to believe sometimes

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

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

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 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

Don't tell me the story of your life
I've heard too much already
You said you've got problems with your wife
I'd say the problem's you
'cause you never grew up
And you're running away
But you're gonna get caught some day

Tell me about it
Oh, that's tough
Tell me about it
Oh, that's tough

So don't tell me the story of your life
I'd rather watch a movie
Your hollywood smile is not enough
You're giving me the blues
So when are you going to understand
I'm not the woman to make you a man
So if you've got a wife you can talk to you might
Tell me about it
Oh, that's tough
Tell me about it
Oh, that's tough

I don't want to hear about the time
You crashed your new ferrari
Don't try to impress me with your lies
I've no respect for you
'cause you try to make out
That you're somebody else
But you'll never escape yourself
So when are you going to understand
I don't intend to be part of your plans
You've got an obsession you'd like to pull off
Tell me about it
Oh, that's tough
Tell me about it
Oh, that's tough

Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me
That's tough
I don't wanna hear you tell me
That's tough
Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me
That's tough
So i don't want to hear you tell me that's tough
Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me
That's tough
That's tough
So i don't want to hear you tell me that's tough
Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me
That's tough
Oh that's tough

Tell me about it
Oh, that's tough
Tell me about it
Oh, that's tough
So i don't want to hear you tell me that's tough
Don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me
That's tough
Oh that's tough

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!
