Lying here between your progeny and your Visa card statement
Beside the coffee stained torn envelope
We took your facsimile and we pinned it to the wall
Here on the other side of the world
You call here when it's 3 AM and we hear music playing
You call here and you don't have time to talk
You call in on your cell phone but you're cutting out
Here on the other side of the world
You send in electronic mail transmissions
Dispatches from your colonies - your Commonwealth
But your syntax is distracted and your sideways happy face
Is not on the other side of the world
from the girl
with the starry eyes
and the easy smile
she's just sitting there
Could I stay a while?
Lying here between your progeny and your Visa card statement
Beside the coffee stained torn envelope
We took your facsimile and we pinned it to the wall
getting it cheap, a-getting it free
a-getting it safe, a-getting it sussed
a-getting it seen, a-getting it praised
a-getting it in, a-getting it out, a-getting it erased
CHORUS:
getting it all the way, so don't ask for what I say
when I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) (x2)
getting it down, a-getting it back
a-getting it pain, a-getting it tight
well getting it loose, getting it to stay
well getting it hard, a-getting it real, a-getting it afraid
CHORUS:
getting it all the way, it feels a whole lot better today
'cos I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) (x15)
getting it rich, getting it poor
getting it still, getting a deal
a-getting it shut, a-getting it true
a-getting it good, a-getting it bad
a-getting it and keeping it
CHORUS:
getting it all the way, it's the same for you and me
we're all still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!)
I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) (x2)
you're still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!)
'cos I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!)
I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) (x9)

Gettin out
I can't take anymore
Gettin out
I finally found the door
Maybe I'll miss the comfort of
The friendly route I've grown to love
There's no doubt
I'm gettin out
Getting out
I need to change the scene
Find a place
Somewhere fresh and clean
I know I left the candle lits
So there's no time to hesitate
There's no doubt
I'm gettin out
Time is right
For me to spread my wings
Fly away
And see what freedom brings
I may not like the other side
But I can always say I've tried
Gettin out
I had all I can take
Gettin out
I gotta make the break
I'll catch a train headin west
A change is better than a rest
There's no doubt
I'm gettin out
Time is right
For me to spread my wings
Fly away
And see what freedom brings
I may not like the other side
But I can always say I've tried
Gettin out
I can't take anymore
Gettin out
I finally found the door
Maybe I'll miss the comfort of
The friendly route I've grown to love
There's no doubt
I'm gettin out
I'm gettin out
I'm gettin out
I'm gettin out
getting it cheap, a-getting it free
a-getting it safe, a-getting it sussed
a-getting it seen, a-getting it praised
a-getting it in, a-getting it out, a-getting it erased

SHUT UP!
(Jackie Fox/Lita Ford)
With every beat of my heart its getting dark
There's something in the air
The doors aren't locked, you know it's not
But I just know you're somewhere
Hands on the table, are they empty got a fable
Is it true?
Say he's coming no one said a word
They've gotten through
Its such a crush, its getting hot
Temperature's rising it's getting hot
Shot a single word for telling true
I can hear him pant
I wanna leave but I just can't breathe free
If they begin their chantIts such a crush, its getting hot
Temperature's rising it's getting hot
Church is breaking my body's shaking
I just can't tell
He's coming back my head is black
He must be under a spell
Its such a crush, its getting hot
Temperature's rising it's getting hot
With every beat of my heart, it's getting dark
There's something in the air
The doors aren't locked, you know it's not
But I just know you're somewhere
Hands on the table, are they empty got a fable
Is it true?
Say he's coming, no one said a word
They've gotten through
It's such a crush, it's getting hot
Temperature's rising it's getting hot
Shot a single word for telling true
I can hear him pant
I wanna leave but I just can't breathe free
If they begin their chant
It's such a crush, it's getting hot
Temperature's rising it's getting hot
Church is breaking, my body's shaking
I just can't tell
He's coming back my head is black
He must be under a spell
It's such a crush, it's getting hot
Yesterday I made you cry
It didn't even phase me when your tears rolled down
I was so convinced that I was right
That you never even tried to bring me 'round
And these rules are gettin' tangled in my body
These rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out
Look at what you made do
I was only tryin' to save the world that I forgot about askin' you
But look at what you made me say
I'm usin' crosswords on the radio tellin' you to change your ways
Look at what I've become
Thought I was everythin' you dreamed of
But you were dreamin' of gettin' out
And now I can't get my ass off the couch
Nicotine and alcohol
Anythin' to fill the hole 'cause it's all too much
There's nothin' I can talk about
Of course I'm gonna shut you out
I can hardly blame you 'cause you got me stuck, yeah
But these rules are gettin' tangled in my body
These rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out
Look at what you made do
I was just about to save the world that I forgot about askin' you
But look at what you made me say
I'm usin' crosswords on the radio tellin' you to change your ways
And look at what I've become
Thought I was everythin' you dreamed of
But you were dreamin' of gettin' out
And now I can't get my ass off the couch because of you
I made you fly away, made you leave today but you never know
How these rules got tangled in our bodies
These rules, it's gonna hurt when you pull them out
But look at what you made do
I was just about to save the world that I forgot about askin' you
But look at what you made me say
I'm usin' crosswords on the radio tellin' you to change your ways
And look at what I've become
Thought I was everythin' you dreamed of
But you were dreamin' of gettin' out
And now I can't get my ass off the couch because of you
The traitor cries in front of you
The traitor lies, it's all so blue
The traitor cheats a whole life long
In fact, the traitor knows who's wrong
The traitor thrilled behind my back
The traitor killed, I broke my neck
The traitor only can be dropped
In fact, the traitor can't be stopped
The traitor tells a fairy tale
Much sweeter than a nightingale
The traitor's on the ride to black
I know he's never coming back
Traitor before you talk to me
Think exactly what you say
Traitor before you look at me
Think exactly if it's right
The traitor never shows his face
Forever he is lost in space
The traitor uses you day by day
Until no trust of yours remains
The game is over
It's the end
My eyes are shut
