instrumental
Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say,
You say, "Oh, sing one we know,"
But I promise you this;
I'll always look out for you,
That's what I'll do.
I say "ohhhhhhhh,"
I say "ohhhhhhhh."
My heart is yours,
It's you that I hold on to,
That's what I do,
And I know I was wrong,
But I won't let you down,
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will)
I say "ohhhhhhhh,"
I cry "ohhhhhhhh,"
Yeah I saw sparks,
Yeah I saw sparks,
And I saw sparks,
Yeah I saw sparks,
Sing it out.
La, la, la, la, oh-oh
La, la, la, la, oh-oh
La, la, la, la, oh-oh
Written by Ricky & Marty Wilde
Caught in the times we live in
Caught in the times we know
It's taking a real hard line
You feel you're becoming a number
Nobody needs your trouble
Gives you the time of day
But kicking the world behind
Won't make it go away
Cos we're strong
And we're big enough to take
Whatever time will bring
We've only one life
And we've gotta lot to give
There's only one time
And we've got to make or break it
Let the Sparks fly out again
Let the feelings tell you when
Let the Sparks fly out again
Flick of the fingers
And they'll cut you down for sure
You gotta be hard sometimes
And so you pretend it's nothing
Finding what to believe in
That's what it's hard to do
Boy there was another time
I saw the best in you
Cos we're strong
And we're big enough to take
Whatever time will bring
Delicate endless flow
Running down my electric wire
Sunshine and midnight glow
Lightning discharge and eternal fire
Sparks are flying in my head
Fading softly, playing dead
Sparks are flying in my head
Sparks are flying in her head
Headlights are glowing dim
Silly words looking for a meaning
Thinking of who will win
Fire is stopped
And nobody's winning
Sunset is burning out
Getting no sleep til the happy hour
What if we lived without
Something we always knew was ours
Sparks are flying in my head
Fading softly, playing dead
Sparks are flying in my head
Sparks are flying in her head
Sparks are flying in my head
Fading softly, playing dead
Sparks are flying in my head
Sparks are flying in her head
In a 91 that still runs but barely
Writing your name on the fog on winter windows in the morning
In a life like the tree branches on my street
Clipped back to make room for the power lines to pass
Please describe the details to me
On the window in backseat it is snowing
Pieces falling down all around me
In the dark watching for sparks of recovery
Everything's alright, we'll be home in just a few more miles
Souls of the dead are dancing
Mary-Anne dream in bed where you were sleeping
Dead yellow flowers on the dash to remember
What really keeps this cracked engine running
Please describe the details to me
On the window in the backseat it's snowing
Pieces falling down all around me
In the dark watching for sparks of recovery
Everything's alright, we'll be home in just a few more miles
Bear flags and primary colors
On the wall to remember the real meaning of failure
Golden mistakes, these decisions that we're making
On an icy road at night and it's snowing
Pieces falling down all around me
In the dark watching for sparks of recovery
We all expected champagne
But it never did come
But it never did come
We said, "Hey, where's our champagne?"
And they gave us a gun
Said to go and have fun
So many riches just out of reach
Coming attractions washed up on the beach, oh yeah
CHORUS
Let's take a walk
A walk down memory lane
Past the signs of the times
That lit our little way
And decide what it is
That made it all this way
And decide who it is
That might make it O.K.
The sun bears down on the man
With a girl on his arm
She's a victim of charm
She thinks, Sinatra the man
Think of him as you walk
Think of him as y ou walk
So many riches just out of reach
Coming attractions washed up on the beach, oh yeah
CHORUS
They say in 10 million years
That the sun'll burn out
And that'll be that
She drinks a couple of beers
Takes a look at the sun
She would love to see that
So many riches just out of reach
Coming attractions washed up on the beach, oh yeah
CHORUS
We're a fun bunch of guys
And we come from outer space
On the planet where we're from
War is even fun
We're a fun bunch of guys
We're a fun bunch of guys
Here to infiltrate and get a tan
We arrived here from the sky
On that cream pie parked outside
We're a fun bunch of guys
We're a fun bunch of guys
We speak English real good
On our TV's in the sky
Your reruns come in fine
We're a fun bunch of guys
Think about the places we've had our little fun
In the church at Christmas, busted by that nun
Then in that museum, beneath the mastadon
Stating our positions on the White House lawn
CHORUS
All you ever think about is sex
All you ever think about exclusively
All you ever think about is sex, all right with me
Say, do you remember the Dodgers and the Mets
50,000 people saw us and turned red
I'm still not recovered from Saturday's faux pas
When your faather came home, saw us, and dropped dead
CHORUS
In a world of lovers, we don't love each other much
Fact is, we're too busy to love each other much
CHORUS
She won't marry you
She don't look good in white
Don't try sweet talk
Unless you're hot for a fight
Still there's something that
Drives the guys half-insane
Ain't they heard that their love
For her is in vain
CHORUS
And all the guys in town
Just love to hang around
The toughest girl in town
Look outside and you'll see
The rain pouring down
That's the sign that
She's now on your side of town
Plan your life around
Someone proper and clean
That's the smart thing
But that means nothing to me
CHORUS
She's not evil
She's just a little confused
All her life she's been
Set upon and abused
Given that, she's more interesting
Than the rest
Given that, she's the one
Who I love the best
CHORUS
No, No use in lecturing them, or in threatening them,
they will just say ' who are you'
Is that a question or not, and you see that the plot is predictible
not new. But you're still stunned at the things you will do.
No, No use in taking their time or in wasting two dimes
on a call to God knows who
When all you feel is the rain and it's hard to be vain
when no person looks at you. So just be gracious and wait
in the queue.
chorus:
So when do I get to sing 'my way'
When do I get to feel like Sinatra felt
When do I get to sing 'my way' in heaven or hell
So when do I get to do it 'my way'
When do I get to feel like Sid Vicious felt
When do I get to sing 'my way' in heaven or hell
Yes, It's a tradition they say, like a bright christmas day
and traditions must go on.
And though I say yes I see, no I really don't see
is my smiley face still on?
Sign your name with an X, mow the lawn
CHORUS
They'll introduce me, Hello, Hello
Women seduce me and champagne flows
Then the lights go low, there's only one song I know
There, this home which once was serene, now is home to
the screams and to the flying plates and shoes.
But I have no souvenirs of these crackerjack years,
not a moment I could choose, and not one offer that I
could refuse
Wack wack wacky wacky women
Wack wack wacky wacky women
Hello, everybody, this is Russel
Right before I sing I'm gonna make a muscle
Now that's out of my system
Here's some McFcnchen wisdom
They're cool and they know it
Don't drool or you'll blow it
Wack wack wacky wacky women
Wack wack wacky wacky women
All they like is sex and sitcoms
Try to be suave, they'll kick you in the bonbons
Medic, medic, medic, medic
There goes my athletics
I'm bananas over
I'm bananas over
Wack wack wacky wacky women
Wack wack wacky wacky women
Wack wack wacky wacky women
Wack wack wacky wacky women
Wack wack wacky wacky women
Order in the court and here's the charges
Under the influence of wacky women
How do you plead, quit making muscles
Guilty, guilty
Have mercy you honor
Show compassion you honor
My feelings are genuine
Don't take me away from them
Don't take me away from them
Man there's so much stuff up here
A quarter pound of lean ideas
Half a pound of dirty jokes
One pound of non-essential quotes
It's where the dreamin' starts, upstairs
It's where the jokin' starts, upstairs
You got some small ideas, upstairs
You got some big ideas, upstairs
It's where you calculate, it's where you speculate
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of my head?
You are low on foreign words
Better meet a foreign girl
Take the foreign girl upstairs
And learn a lot of foreign words
A little enchante, upstairs
A little hey, ole, upstairs
Ich heisse Billy Boy, upstairs
A little soya sauce, upstairs
You got some big ideas, you got some big ideas
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of my head?
Upstairs, upstairs, upstairs
When you want the art to start
You cue the left side and the art will
Start to flow and flow and flow
And leave a stain on all your carpets
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of my head?
Upstairs, upstairs, upstairs
When you want the intellect
You cue the right side and you can
Collect the Nobel Prize in person
Or have someone mail it to you
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of my head?
Upstairs, upstairs
Crammed with common phobias
Still, it's a Utopia
This is where you kill a guy
And you know he's still alive
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of my head?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of there?
Upstairs, upstairs, why don't you get out of my head?
That's when the cleanin' starts
Hey, that's when the cleanin' starts
Ooh, that's when the cleanin' starts
Yeah, that's when the cleanin' starts
Upstairs, upstairs, upstairs
Upstairs, upstairs, upstairs
Zoo time is she and you time
The mammals are your fav'rite type
You'd better want her tonight.
Heart beat
increasing heart beat
You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos
Elephants and tacky tigers.
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave.
Flying
domestic flying
And when the stewlrdess is near
Do not show any fear.
Heart beat
increasing heart beat
You are a khaki-coloured bombadier
It's Hiroshima that you're nearing.
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
. . .
Daily except for Sunday
You dawdle into the cafe
Where you meet her each day.
Heart beat
increasing heart beat
As twenty cannibals have hold of you
They need their protein just like you do.
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
. . .
Shower
another shower
You've got to look your best for her
And be clean ev'rywhere.
Heart beat
increasing heart beat
The rain is pouring on the foreign town
The bullets cannot cut you down.
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
. . .
Census
the latest census
There'll be more girls who live in town
Though not enough to go round.
Heart beat
increasing heart beat
You know that:
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
It started on a Tuesday
It must have been that lunch meat
I haven't been intimate
And anyway, I'm careful
We know what you got, boy
We know what you got, boy
We know what you got, boy
They call it the Willys
They call it the Willys
You shiver and shake
You're doin' Swan Lake
All over the place
Has everyone gone Christian?
Well, glory, hallelujah
But I'm beyond salvation
I haven't got a prayer
The Willy's do this to ya
The Willy's do this to ya
The Willy's do this to ya, to ya
They call it the Willys
They call it the Willys
It's hard to explain
Like Citizen Kane
To someone who's blind
They call it the Willys
They call it the Willys
You shiver and shake
You're doin' Swan Lake
All over the place, Willy now
We know what you got, boy
We know what you got, boy
We know what you got, boy
Physically, physically, I'm splendid
Mentally, mentally, I'm splendid
Morally, morally he is lax
And maybe that's the problem
We know what you got, boy
We know what you got, boy
We know what you got, boy, what you got
They call it the Willys
They call it the Willys
You shiver and shake
You're doin' Swan Lake
All over the place
They call it the Willys
They call it the Willys
They call it the Willys
The Willys do this to you
The Willys do this to you
The Willys do this to you, to you
We know what you got, boy
We know what you got
We know what you got, boy, what you got
What you got, what you got
They call it the Willys
They call it the Willys
You shiver and shake
You're doin' Swan Lake
All over the place
They call it the Willys
They call it the Willys
I'm speaking Chinese
I'm swinging from trees
I'm wearing your gowns
La, la, la, la, Willys, Willys
Willys, Willys, the Willys
The Willys, the Willys, the Willys
We know what you got, boy, we know what you got
We know what you got, boy, what you got
(The Willys do this to ya, the Willys do this to ya )
(The Willys do this to ya, to ya)
We know what you got, boy, we know what you got
(The Willys do this to ya, the Willys do this to ya)
We know what you got, boy, we know what you got
(The Willys do this to ya, the Willys do this to ya, to ya)
We know what you got, boy, what you got
(The Willys do this to ya, the Willys do this to ya, to ya)
(The Willys do this to ya, the Willys do this to ya, to ya)
Man, there's never been a girl like this
That's not Nastassia
What an influential little Miss
That's not Nastassia
Imitation is a form of flattery, I'm told
She is getting flattered where it's hot and where it's cold
That's not Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
She is on the news again tonight
That's not Nastassia
Someone looking like her stole a bike
That's not Nastassia
Maybe it's a fad, a sort of modern Hula Hoop
Still it's of their own free will, no one has been duped
That's not Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
What a sense of power to have sway around the world
What a sense of power to control a billion girls
Change your hair style, they change theirs
Change your nail style, they change theirs
That's not Nastassia
Presidental wifes and topless maids
That's not Nastassia
More or less identically the same
That's not Nastassia
If I wasn't masculine, I would join the craze
Dye my hair and take on those Nastassianic ways
That's not Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's Nastassia
Now she wants some anonymity
That's not Nastassia
And all the rest want anonymity
That's not Nastassia
She should just forget it, it's a carbon copy world
When she starts to fade away everyone will fade
That's not Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's Nastassia
That's not Nastassia
That's Nastassia

That's Nastassia
That's not Nastassia

There's a riot in Room 42
It was chemistry, now it's a zoo
And they kicked out the teacher, Miss Prune
Tuned the heat up to one hundred two
Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane
Now they're ripping their shirts and their tights
Now they're swinging from fluorescent lights
Look at Bob, he was getting straight A's
Who's he carrying 'round on his face?
Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane
Now they've called in the men wearing blue
There's a cameraman from Channel 2
On the news at 11 does Edgar Rice Burroughs
Get royalties on local news
Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane
Well, tomorrow at 7:04
As the principal says, "Shut the door"
They'll be 25 Tarzans and 25 Janes
And a chimp from Zoology 4
Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane
Tarzan and Jane
I looked up in the sun
And I didn't shake my eyes
Then a girl appeared and said
"Here, these are your size"
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
I tried to cross the street
And I almost got mowed down
But the softest little hand
Yanked me back to safer ground
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
She says, no smoking
She says, no drink
You should wear a parka
I'm really safe but I kind of resent
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
When she's near to me
And there's no one else around
And I can't control myself
She says, "Safety first, pal"
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
She says no speeding
And always eat right
Watch your fats and starches
I'm really safe but I kind of resent
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
She's safe in my arms
And I'm safe in hers
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
Suzie safety
I'm loyal, I'm faithful, I trust you
Then Friday, I walk in and bust you
With someone else
CHORUS
Stop me if you've heard this before
Stop me, stop me
Stop me if you've heard this before
Stop me, stop me
I'm wary of lasting relations
Since you started taking vacations
With all my friends
CHORUS
I know what you do
I know what you're up to
I know what you do
I know what you're up to
I lie here, I'm waiting, debating
I know you, you're out there, gyrating
With someone else
CHORUS
Begging isn't easy
It kills your self-esteem
Makes you feel dependent
It makes you feel mean
But subtlety is useless
In breaking down a wall
And subtlety is toothless
You'd rather see me crawl
So if it takes a flashy display
To make you warm up, OK
CHORUS
Because you're so important to me
So important to me
So important to me
Right now
This discrimination
Is cruel and inhumane
If I had any pride left
I'd say you were insane
If only you would love me
Or just be less intense
It isn't that I'm ugly
It isn't that I'm dense
But if it takes a cheap, tawdry scene
To make you see what I mean
CHORUS
There's a round-up at the love corral
And the air is full of dust
And I think it's going pretty well
But I'm trying to adjust
As we walk along the boulevard
With a hand in hand, in hand
And who cares if people stare at us
'Cause they'll never understand
Sisters, where is the jealousy, is it there?
Sisters, is this a felony anywhere?
Who cares? I see a double moon in the sky
Sisters, an oversupply
Do I have to be a diplomat
When I hear you fuss and fight?
Do I have to be an acrobat
As I try to get it right?
There's a double moon up in the sky
And it's shining down on me
And I know that I'm a lucky guy
That's my biography
Sisters, where is the jealousy, is it there?
Sisters, is this a felony anywhere?
Who cares? I see a double moon in the sky
Sisters, an oversupply
My arms are full, my lips are sore
By morning we could face the light
And I know if I was wrong for you
I would feel a little down
Well it wouldn't be disastrous
I would still have you around
Sisters, where is the jealousy, is it there?
Sisters, is this a felony anywhere?
Who cares? I see a double moon in the sky
Sisters, an oversupply
Sisters
Sisters
Sisters
Drop the goody-goody look and put on your shoes
Because I'm gonna recommend a little somethin' for you
(Oh yeah)
Grab your little Lulu or your Sally or Sue
And take her out to that Metropolis without no taboos
(Oh yeah)
What you say, who are you?
Never mind just sing the tune
Sextown U.S.A., we can go anywhere and it becomes
Sextown U.S.A., we can go here or there, it all becomes
The perfect place, and what a pace
Man, I've heard of Peyton Place and Pigalle too
But this is better than the others, it's American too
(Oh yeah)
No one has the time to eat a meal or to think
Because they're way too busy doin' Kama Sutra-y things
(Oh yeah)
Look around, see the sights
Go to bed what a life
Sextown U.S.A., we can go anywhere and it becomes
Sextown U.S.A., we can go here or there, it all becomes
The perfect place, and what a pace
There's a whole lotta fish in the sea
Sextown U.S.A., we can go anywhere and it becomes
Sextown U.S.A., we can go here or there, it all becomes
The perfect place, and what a pace
If you try to come here and you try to abstain
They'll send you to the prison for the criminally insane
(Oh yeah)
Maybe I'll just stay here for the rest of my life
Because it's better than commuting here with you every night
(Oh yeah)
Sextown U.S.A., we can go anywhere and it becomes
Sextown U.S.A., we can go here or there, it all becomes
Rockin' girls
Just 17
The cutest thing I've ever seen
C'mon baby, rock with me tonight
You're the only girl I ever met named Linda Lou
Maybe that's the reason that I'm so in love with you
See the girl with the red dress on
See the girl with the red dress off
C'mon baby, rock with me tonight
And you're the only girl I ever met who hates "Hey Jude"
Maybe that's the reason that I'm so in love with you
Take a trip around the world
All you have to say is
"C'mon baby," that gets 'em everywhere
I hope I never have to see the doctor 'cause of you
I hope you never have to see the doctor 'cause of me
Oh, rockin' girls, let's go
You look a little slow
Oh, rockin' girls, let's go
You still look kinda slow
Oh, rockin' girls, let's go
You still look kinda slow
Oh, now you're movin' fine
It's instrumental time
Rockin' girls
Just 17
The cutest thing I've ever seen
Rockin' girls, I'm on my knees
Don't get old and don't get mean
C'mon baby, please stay 17
Oh, rockin' girls, let's go
You look a little slow
Oh, rockin' girls, let's go
You still look kinda slow
Oh, rockin' girls, let's go
You still look kinda slow
Oh, now you're movin' great
I think I'll take a break
Saturday night and time that I go to bed
Daddy goodnight and Momma goodnight, it's ten
Don't forget, son, to pray
Anything, Dad, you say
I'm gonna pray 'til both my knees are red
CHORUS
Prayin' for a party, c'mon Lord, c'mon Lord
Prayin' for a party
All of my friends are prayin' like prayin' fools
Send us a little jive and we'll be all right
What do we have to do
What do we have to do
Whaat do we have to do, Lord, to get on through
CHORUS
I just can't wait no more
I'm runnin' out that door
God helps those who help themselves to a good time
CHORUS
I like you and you like me a lot
And we do those things that can make us feel hot
Then we join some friends, all of them are all right
and we talk a while, then we climb in our cars
What a night, we all drive into town
Where we'll park our caars, and meet the rest of our friends
At a place that's called, I forget what it's called
But it's really great, and all of our friends will be there
CHORUS
Popularity

Popularity
I like you and you like me a lot
And it's nice to be all alone with you too
But it's also nice being out with our friends
'Cause they're all right, maybe that's why we're friends
CHORUS
I feel great, but it's getting real late
So I'll drive you home and you'll slide up real close
I'm so glad we met, and I like you so much
And I'm also glad that I got all those friends
CHORUS
I don't know why you treat me this way
I'm a sensitive guy and I'm really in pain
But you're cool to the point of saying "no dice"
Well, I'll never accept it, never accept it
Just think it over tonight
Just think it over for one more night (oh)
CHORUS
Please baby pleaase
Can't ya treat me better
Please baby please
Can't ya treat me better
I've been makin' a fool of myself
As the corniest guy in all of L.A.
Sending flowers and candy, the things I detest
But I gotta impress you, gotta impress you
All the things that I've tried
Are all the things that I once despised (oh)
CHORUS
No one's worth all the stuff I go through
Only you, only you, only you, only you
You no speakee the language when I get near
And I'm losin' it fast, I'm gettin' weird

Pamela, Pamela
Remember the days
Of inkwells and apples
And books and school plays
Where little Brer Rabbit kissed Pooh in the wood
And Fluff was the cat that sat on the rug
Oh, Pamela
I remember so well
When Laurel and Hardy were shown at the flicks
With sticky red lollies on splintery sticks
Pigtails and ribbons and crushes on miss
Secret discussions about a first kiss
But you were young
And everything was new
Impatient to do things you couldn't do
Oh, Pamela, Pamela
You started to grow
Answers to questions you wanted to know
When the rest of your childhood
Forgets as a dream
And the harshness of life
Dims those peaches and cream
When Laurel and Hardy were shown at the flicks
With sticky red lollies on splintery sticks
Pigtails and ribbons and crushes on miss
Secret discussions about a first kiss
But you were young
And everything was new
I wanna got to cool places with you
I wanna take you cool places tonight
I wanna go where nobody's a fool
And no one says uh, "Hey girl, need a light?"
I want to move like this and that
A minimum of chit chat
I never wanna cool down, cool down, cool cool cool,
Cool places tonight
I gotta tell you, you're lookin' real good
They let us in so I'm feelin' all right
I like to go where sometimes they refuse
Yeah, I remember last Saturday night
But I'm feeling cooler now
And they could tell we're cooler now
It's obvious we're cooler now, cooler now, cool cool cool,
Cool places tonight
CHORUS
I wanna go, I wanna go, etc.
I want to go to cool places tonight
I wanna go to cool places with you
And after that we'll slip out for a bite
A coffee shop, and toast, coffee and juice
And then we'll sleep 'til 5 p.m.
And start it up all over again
I never want to cool down, cool down, cool cool cool
CHORUS
Dangerkid Intro::
Just give me one chance?
Baby give me one chance?
Me and you girl we're gonna dance,
Trust me baby!
We're gonna have a great great time,
Your the girl that's always on my mind.
No matter what i'll never let you down,
All i'm asking for is One More Chance!
Verse 1:
Kirstie?
This song is for you, my dedication.
2 letters of ya name, your my inspiration.
I fucking love you, why did you leave?
I'm not moving on, your the air that i breathe.
3 words for you, please come back.
Sitting here crying, while writing this track.
Don't know what to do, cos your not here.
Still Waiting, & crying with a tear.
Shit almost forgot, would you give me another try?
Please let me know by a text, leave me a reply.
It's you that i truly miss,
Your on my mind, Got ya name on my fist.
Bridge:
Every bar i've ever wrote, i wrote it for you.
Every bar i've ever wrote, i wrote it so true.
Every girl need 2 know, your my one & only.
Now i'm travelling in time, reminsing i'm lonely.
Verse 2:
Damn girl you're so damn beautiful,
You want the truth? look i'll get truthful.
Without you i feel so depressed,
Ask me anything i'll confess.
The reason i want you back,
Cos you make me happy that's a fact.
I love you that much i'll run the world,
Just to be with you girl.
All the hours on the phone,
All the late talks when we're at home.
I would never let you down,
I'll make your world turn around.
I would never make you cry,
I'll never tell a lie.
Cos you mean so much to me baby,
With you i'll live happily.
Please let me show you,
Please let me hold you.
Bridge:
Every bar i've ever wrote, i wrote it for you.
Every bar i've ever wrote, i wrote it so god damn true.
Verse 3:
It was summer when we started talking,
I always leave you a text in the morning.
So you went without saying goodbye,
A few seconds later with a tear i cry.
All i'm asking is can i have another chance?
Cos you make me smile everytime i glance.
Trust babe we will make this work,
It's you that i want i deserve.
Can you hear me? it's so true,
The feelings are here can you tell?
My sky's gone vanilla not blue,
With you my sky will turn blue.
Bridge:
Every bar i've ever wrote, i wrote it for you.
Every bar i've ever wrote, i wrote it so true.
Every girl need 2 know, your my one & only.
Don't be tempted by her favour
Never turn your back on mother earth
Towns are hurled from A to B
By hands that look so smooth to me
Never turn your back on mother earth
Grasp at straws that don't want grasping
Gaze at clouds that come down crashing
Never turn your back on mother earth
Three days and two nights away from my friends
Amen to anything that brings a quick return to my friends
Never turn your back on mother earth
I'll admit I was unfaithful
But from now I'll be more faithful
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother
Never turn your back on mother earth
A lady gets a lotta things
She gets a 20 carat ring
She gets the alimony too
She gets to look good in the nude
But there's one place where they've been whipped
Between the nose and upper lip

M-M-Mustache, mustache, mustache, mustache
M-M-Mustache, mustache, mustache, mustache
One hundred hairs make a man
I tried a handlebar design
My Fu-Manchu was real fine
My Ronald Colman made 'em blink
My Pancho Villa made 'em think
But when I trimmed 'em real small
My Jewish friends would never call
M-M-Mustache, mustache, mustache, mustache
M-M-Mustache, mustache, mustache, mustache
M-M-Mustache, mustache, mustache, mustache
One hundred hairs make a man
One hundred hairs make a man

M-M-Mustache

They call me 'Sir' and that ain't bad
Sometimes they think that I'm my dad
And women flirt and you can bet
They like that tickle that they get
The only time I feel bad
Is when they guess the lunch I've had
M-M-Mustache, mustache, mustache, mustache
M-M-Mustache, mustache, mustache, mustache

Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays
She may like caviar and cocktails
She may like symphonies and sun
But underneath the gown and high heels
She's like a fully loaded gun
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays
The world is runnin' out of heroes
The world is runnin' out of time
Where are those martial arts maneuvers
We're getting massacred by crime
Well, listen buddy don't you worry
She may not look like Genghis Khan
And she may talk about her manicure
But she can sure get things done
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays, modesty plays
Don't underestimate the lady
She may seem cultured and demure
But there's another side and careful
She'll hit you like a 2 by 4
The world is running out of heroes
And everybody's out on bail
As long as modesty is on our side
Good will surely prevail

Can you raise both your hands and clap 'em
Can you say, "sure, I'll always try"
Can you make friends among people and animals
Basically, everything is easy
Give it a try, you'll see I'm right
Cause if a mouse can be special, well so can you
And my name is Mickey Mouse
To the right is Minnie Mouse
And we own a little place in Disneyland, California
Let's have a party and be happy
Can we invite our closest friends
We can ask Donald Duck, Pluto, and all the gang
And my name is Mickey Mouse
To the right is Minnie Mouse
And we own a little place in Disneyland, California
Well, you should try to smile, dear
Get yourself a pet deer

(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
When I was born a little premature
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Momma just couldn't take no more
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Had no time to learn to cry
Goodbye mama got to fly
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Entered school when I was two
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
P H D'd that afternoon(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Never entered any sports
I didn't look too good in shorts
Got divorced when I was four
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Well I've seen everything there is
I've done everything there is
I've met everyone but Liz
Now I've even met old Liz
No time for relationship
Skip the foreplay let 'er rip
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
When I did lots of traveling
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Parts of me unraveling
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
The army then rejected me
Said I had two flat feet
Wore them out when I was three
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Too bad there ain't ten of you
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Then I'd show you what I'd do
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
I could cheat on five of you
And be faithful to you two
But there's only one of you
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
Well I've seen everything there is
I've done everything there is
I've met everyone but Liz
Now I've even met old Liz
No time for relationship
Skip the foreplay let 'er rip
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
(You gotta beat the clock, you gotta beat the clock)
While the symphony played
I was starting to fade
'Til I woke to a cymbal crash
I turned to my right
You were gone, that's all right
These platonic things are such a burn
I walked out on the street
While the big city lights
Tried to sell me on a way of life
I was already living
Well, a limousine longer than
The Golden Gate Bridge
Pulled up along side me at the curb
All the glass was blacked out
so I knew there was somebody
Very important in there
Then the door opened up
And a blonde in the shadows said,
"Get inside."
And of course, I got inside
CHORUS
Madonna, is that reall you
Madonna, what 'cha gonna do
Feelings only you can have
Never in the photograph
Feelings only you can have
Well, she took me back to her penthouse
And showed me all of her platinum records
And of course there were a lot
Then we sat on the sofa
And she turned on a classical station
But the reception was poor
And we sat there and talked
And talked a little more
And one thing lead to another
As they often do in these situations
All the stars are shinging tonight for me
All the stars are shining tonight glory be
CHORUS
In the morning
She fixed me a continental breakfast
And then she said, "Well, goodbye."
And I said, "Can I see you again?"
And she said, "No."
And I said, "Well, goodbye."
And I never old anyone about this
'Cause after all
It's none of their business what she or I did
CHORUS

Someday they'll come, take us back with a dumb "welcome home"

I'll lose my tan and the very next day you'll be gone
I 'll get a job and I'll marry a marvelous blonde
Until that day arrives

There's no way that I could ever explain
I got to hold you in my arms, dear
Or else go insane
And what I'm feelin' in my heart
Feelin' in my soul
It makes me just a little dizzy
And out of control
But I've been waiting all my life
For someone I could stand
And you're the primary reason
I feel like a man
And what I'm feelin' in my heart
Feelin' in my soul
I couldn't ever hope to tell you
I'm sure you must know
CHORUS
It ain't the cool thing to be leaving
You're a sweet, young and naive thing
Here comes the night
There goes my heart
Let's make love and not fall apart
I'm so grateful
For the love that we shared
I'll never take for granted
That you're always there
And when I think about the world
And what is going on
It makes me even more thankful
That you're still around
And I've been waiting all my life
For someone I could stand
And you're the only one so far
Who could understand
And what I'm feelin' in my heart
Feelin' in my soul
I couldn't ever hope to tell you
I'm sure you must know
CHORUS
When I see you there
With tears in your eyes
And I know something's gonna happen
That I might not like
I feel a worry in my heart
A worry in my soul
In fact, it's only you rehearsing
For some silly role
And you say, did I have you fooled
Were you really fooled
And I say, sorry pretty baby
No, I wasn't fooled
And what I'm feelin' in my heart
Feelin' in my soul
I couldn't ever hope to tell you
I'm sure you must know
CHORUS
All I get is quiet
Laughing friends won't buy it
I've been known to tell them white lies
But this time I swear it's the truth, oh, oh
I just got back from heaven
I can see their faces
As I mention places
Places that I've overdescribed
But this time I swear it's the truth, oh, oh
I just got back from heaven
CHORUS
Heaven isn't so far away
You walk through the door
And you're light years away
Someone looks right into your eyes
And you feel the magic that you can't deny
And you sway
All through the night
If you stay
All through the night
Look at the shape I'm in
I just got back from heaven
Searching for some glory
People make up stories
One too many drinks at the bar
But this time I swear it's the truth, oh, oh
I just got back from heaven
CHORUS
Any destination
Makes a great vacation
This is something greater by far
This time I swear it's the truth, oh, oh
I just got back from heaven
The lawns grow plush in the hinterlands
The perfect little setting for the one night stands.
The drapes are drawn and the lights are out
It's the time to put in practise what you've dreamed about.
Well she can show you what you must do
To be more like people better than you.
Amateur hour goes on and on
When you turn pro you know
she'll let you know
Amateur hour goes on and on
When you turn pro
you know she tells you so.
Girls grow tops to go topless in
While we sit and count the hairs that blossom from our chins.
Our voices change at a rapid pace
I could start a song a tenor and then end as bass.
So choose your partners everyone
If you hesitate the good ones are gone.
Amateur hour goes on and on
. . .
Dance
laugh
wine
dine and talk and sing
But those cannot replace what is the real thing
It's a lot like playing the violin
You cannot start off and be Yehudi Menuhin.
So Amateur hour goes on and on
Well, I married a Martian, and boy, am I sorry
Well, she came down from the sky
She couldn't stand the attitude there
She took human form, not bad she seemed different
She had a European flair and I said, "Where you from?"
And she said, she said, "I'm from Mars"
I married a Martian her loving is different
Viva la difference every, every night
I married a Martian I took her to Vegas
I dressed her in ermine she had the time of her life
Though she called me Mister Right
I could sense something was wrong
She was hardly home at all
She'd keep telling me she was doing studies of Earth
She had tendencies to flirt and it really did hurt me
I married a Martian, boy, am I sorry
I don't recommend it to anyone in their right mind
I married a Martian, I think I see changes
I know I see changes she doesn't look like our kind
Her arms, her legs, were growing and growing
Her form, once thin, was changing, was changing
I can't describe the changes, so gruesome
She looked, she seemed so Martian
I married a Martian, I'm going to Vegas
It isn't for pleasure, I'm getting a quickie divorce
I married a Martian, boy, am I sorry
I don't recommend it to anyone in their right mind
I married a Martian who was I kidding
She only had loved me 'cause I was the first guy she saw
I married a Martian and now it is over
Go back to your cronies back to your own form of life
I married a Martian they're good in the movies
HOSPITALITY ON PARADE (Ron Mael) 3:58
Someday we'll have one extra coastline
We'll tire of the Atlantic
By then we'll be rid of your lot
A shot heard 'round the world will soon be shot, will soon be shot
'Til then have some tea and tobacco
Hey Jenny meet your master
Be nice show him kindness and such
Be kind to our master
But a feeling is a-brewing that we don't need any masters
'Cause we all can be a master and we all can be a king
We speak and we sing the way that you do
And showed you our hospitality on parade
But now we are we, we're no longer you
Tara to that hospitality on parade
Today you're going to find their descendants
In places all around you
You're faced with the easiest task
How best to act a king when always treated like a king
Lunch counters, at banks and the theatre
Kind help right there to serve you
Men selling, and girls selling too
And everyone's special
We all are someone special
Yes, we all are someone special
For we all are someone special
Where the customer is king
Whoever you are, whoever you bring
You'll find that hospitality on parade
However you look, you're always a king
Wherever there's hospitality on parade
I'm special, you're special
He's special, she's special
We're all someone special
And i am the king
(CHORUS)
Whoever you are, whoever you bring
You'll find that hospitality on parade
However you look, you're always a king
I looked a lot like a Vogue Magazine
Perfect and smooth, they all called me a dream
Flawless and loveless, no intimacy
I only lived to be seen
Not to be touched, too clean
Funny face, I want a funny face
Funny face, I want a funny face
Billions of dollars are spent on the face
Covering, smoothing, and changing the shape
Everyone wanted a face just like mine
Nobody wanted me
Only to look like me
Funny face, I want a funny face
Funny face, I want a funny face
Well, I'm ungrateful but I don't care
I hear comments from everywhere
Probably nothing behind the face
The face, the face
That was the day that I jumped off the bridge
Trying to end it all, I barely lived
Doctor Lamaar said "Your face is a mess"
All of the rest you can guess
I got my one request
He got his one request
And I am happy, yes
And he is happy, yes
I got my one request
He got his funny face
And I am happy, yes
And I am happy, happy
Happy, happy, happy
Funny face, I want my funny face
Might as well just say it
Might as well just come out and say it
You have your fans, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
All that Moonlight and Magnolia
It just doesn't cut it, it just doesn't cut it anymore
You had your chance, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
Ashley Wilkes, gentleman that he is
He'll protect you
You had your fans, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
If I wanted to, I could remove all thoughts of him from your head
Like this, like this
Like this, like this
You can lie all you want to do
You can cry all you want to do
You can scheme all you want to do
See if I care
You've had your fans, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
Buildings were burning to the right of us
Buildings were burning to the left of us
Those fires are out now
You have your fans, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
That soft southern accent
Delivered without the slightest trace of a British accent
Even that's starting to wear on me
I've made my plans, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
If I wanted to, I could remove all thoughts of him from your head
Like this, like this
Like this, like this
You can lie all you want to do
You can cry all you want to do
You can scheme all you want to do
See if I care
You had your plans, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
We cut each other so much slack
That we were both falling over backwards
You had your chance, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
Got my bearings now, know where I'm going now
Out... Out...
You had your chance, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
Might as well just say it
Might as well just come out and say it
Might as well just say it
Might as well just come out and say it
I've made my plans, but frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
I've made my plans, and frankly, Scarlett, I don't give a damn
I've made my plans, and frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn
Everybody move
Move it on up and move it down
Sweet little thing ease it down
Fall in the pool and you'll drown
Everybody move
Wear out the soles of your shoes
Wear out the soles of your feet
Move to the beat, toute de suite
There's a red lite a comin'
There's a red lite a comin'
Slam on the brakes and slow down
Everybody move
Unwanted pounds will disappear
You'll have an itty bitty rear
Better lay off of the beer
There's a new thang a comin'
There's a new thang a comin'
Better do something with your hair
It's the sound
Of today
Played so loud
You're in pain
I feel good
Really great
As I talk
To my feet
Dance godammit
Dance godammit
I get scared
When I'm alone
So I don't
Stay alone
I like clubs
I like girls
I like music
And that's it
Dance godammit
Dance godammit
I do leaps
I do splits
I do spins
I do dips
Wanna dance
Wanna dance
Wanna dance?
Do you wanna dance?
I get scared
When I'm alone
Ah, don't leave me
All alone
Wnna dance
Wanna dance
Wanna Dance?
Do you wanna dance?
Dance godammit

I bought the Mississippi River
Of course that don't include the towns
or the people
around the Mississippi
Well, to cinch the deal the man threw
in a boat with crew
and then I knew I'd better grab that
river fast
It wouldn't last
They never do, they never do
It wouldn't last, last, last
So now I own the Mississippi
I couldn't decide if I should leave it there
or lug it out West with me
The best thing was to think about it,
not to make a move I might regret
cause then I'd have to have the
Mississippi sent back East, complete
with boat and crew
That wouldn't do, do, do
It's mine, all mine
(You know, it's yours, all yours)
It's mine, all mine
(You know, it's yours, all yours)
Do rivers ever need companions
Should I enquire if the Seine is
available, yeah, I would rather have
a classy little Frenchy than a Nile or
a Tybo, oh
Now wait a minute, how about the
Amazon, now that could be real fun
For Mississippi, for Mississippi,
for Mississippi, My Mississippi
I hope that I didn't make an error
I hope this ain't a lot more trouble
Squeeze in between the lines
Hustle it's nearly five, hustle it's nearly five
They're coming with coupons they're coming with kids
All hungry, pretty soon they'll need to be fed
And they'll Alabamy right around the register
It sure looks good to me
Alabamy milk and honey ev'rywhere
They're scaling the mountains of frozen delights
There's been an avalanche on aisle number nine
And they'll Alabamy right around the register
It sure looks good to me
No need to go miles to Hollywood or pretend that you're celestial
There's no waiting now on checkstand number eighteen
Squeeze in between the lines
Hustle it's nearly five, hustle it's nearly five
This place plays no fav'rites by day or by night
It will not be offended if you buy light
Just so you Alabamy right around the register
It sure looks good to me
Alabamy milk and honey ev'rywhere
It sure looks good to me

In 1900 you held hands and felt like you'd scored
In 1910 you'd never need a horse anymore
In 1920 you could dance
In 1930 lose your pants
In 1940 you could go to war really soon
In 1950 you could just be dull and a bore
In 1960 set the world on fire
That was then, this is now
And nothing's blowin in the wind
Chorus:
Screwed up, that's the problem
You're going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that's your problem
You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You're wasting time seeking comfort
From any sight or any sound
I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around
It really doesn't matter if you know how to sing
The only thing that matters is the girl that you bring
So when i saw you sitting there just asking for some curly hair
I knew that i was getting where i wanted to be
But someone must have warned you, so it's anchors aweigh
This johnny's marching home again tonight
You couldn't leave quietly you had to tell the world and loud
Screwed up, that's the problem
You're going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that's your problem
You're coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You're wasting time seeking comfort by having anyone around
I knew you when you weren't a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around
I'm getting on my nerves i'm getting
On my nerves and
Everything you're throwing at me's
Coming up a curve
Swing & miss
Swing & miss
Swing & miss and then you're out
Where's my girl, who stole my girl?
Where's my girl, who stole my girl?
Where's my girl, who stole my girl?
Tell me, where can she be?
Well, here's a plea to you listeners everywhere
Help me to find my baby
She's incredible, keep your hands off of her
Keep off, keep off, keep, keep, keep, keep off
Where's my girl, who stole my girl?
Where's my girl, who stole my girl?
Tell me, where can she be?
Well, here's a photo a couple of years ago
She is quite a bit better
She is better and out of my life
And it's too bad, too bad, it's too bad that
She's been seen with Belmondo
Eating snails in some bistro
Seen in London and seen in Spain
Seen in L.A. with the Dodger team
Seen in Tokyo with Mifune
Having sushi and hot sake
Well, calm down, calm down
Calm down, calm down
Where's my girl, I'm calmer now
Where's my girl, I want her now
A joke's a joke, I want her now
Where's my girl, who stole my girl?
Well, no one has any principles nowadays
No one has any principles
No one has any principles nowadays
No one, no one
Well, no one has that integrity nowadays
No one has that integrity
No one has that integrity nowadays
No one, no one
Never will I look at another girl
Never will I look
Never will I look at another girl
She was a wonder girl (some girl, that girl)
She was a wonder girl (some girl, that girl)
It was a grand old time we had
She was there and I was pretty glad about that too
Knowing that she knew a thing or two
She was a wonder girl (some girl, that girl)
She was a wonder to her friends
It's a wonder that she always started trends
And after all, trends make us contenders in the fall
Wonder girl, do me right at this ungodly hour
She was a wonder to her dad
A self-made man who owned all that he had
And after all, self-made men have daughters
who just won't ball
Wonder girl, make me a wonder boy
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Oh yeah I'll tell you something I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something, I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand.
Oh please say to me you'll let me be your man
And please say to me you'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand.
And when I touch you, I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love, I can't hide
I can't hide, I can't hide.
Yeah you got that something, I think you'll understand
When I feel that something, I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand.
And when I touch you, I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that my love, I can't hide
I can't hide, I can't hide.
Yeah you got that something, I think you'll understand
When I feel that something, I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand, I wanna hold your hand

The Exodus is on
The impetus is gone
Nobody's having fun
How about another drink
Or maybe just a snack
The rest will be here soon
Here, let me take you mac
I know its started slow
There's still no need to go
Don't leave me alone with her
Every home is Rome alone with her
And if you all go, who'll say no to her
Don't leave me alone with her
Don't my sweat and shaking register
Cause if you all go, who'll say no to her
You look at her and say, "She looks ok to me"
I look at her and say, "She looks ok to me"
The reasons very clear
You're watching her with me
Don't leave me alone with her
Every home is Rome alone with her
And if you all go, who'll say no to her
Unwitting chaperons, how come you cannot see
Unwitting chaperons, how come you cannot see
A Hitler wearing heels
A soft Simon Legree
A Hun with honey skin
De Sade who makes good tea
Don't leave me here to be
Don't leave me here yo be
Don't leave me alone with her
Don't my sweat and shaking register
'Cause if you all go, who'll say no to her
Don't leave me alone with her
Don't leave me alone with her
Don't leave me alone with her
Don't leave me alone with her
Every home is Rome alone with her
Here, there are lots of things to do
And a panoramic view
Of the universe completely surrounding you
And here you cannot buy souvenirs
You're never going back, never, never
Basically, I guess it could be worse
Yes, I do suppose it could be worse
Here, there are many, many sheep
And the people only sleep
And awake to tell how gory and gruesome was their end
And I don't have many friends
And it's really very clean and I'm thinking
Juliet, you broke our little pact
Juliet, I'm never coming back
Chorus:
Up here in Heaven without you
I'm here in Heaven without you
Up here in Heaven without you
It is Hell knowing that your health will keep you out of here
For years and years and years
Dear, do you often think of me
As you overlook the sea
Do I qualify as dearly departed or am I
That sucker in the sky
The fall guy for the first and the last time
Juliet, I thought we had agreed
Now I know why you let me take the lead
Chorus:
Up here in Heaven without you
I'm here in Heaven without you
Up here in Heaven without you
It is Hell knowing that your health will keep you out of here
For years and years and years
Second thoughts, is that what you had?
Second thoughts, first I broke my back
Second thoughts, as I hit the sea
Second thoughts, for eternity, for eternity, for eternity
Chorus:
Up here in Heaven without you
I'm here in Heaven without you
Up here in Heaven without you
It is Hell knowing that your health will keep you out of here
Fletcher Honorama won't you rally 'round
the man who's on a limb?
Sing the songs that please him very softly
while we jolt him with a hymn
Please, go easy now with him
Because this is his final whim
So be sure that the boy don't die before the morn
Fletcher Honorama shall we justify the eighty Junes
you've seen?
Since that might be stretching things
we'll merely sing the songs that made you scream
Please, go easy now with him
Because this is his final whim
So be sure that the boy don't die before the morn
Intakes and mistakes and lunch pails
and headaches were willed to your one living twin
I think that maybe you should have kept half
of them, after all you worked for them
After all you worked for them
Telecast in fifty states and brought to you
by Anti-Wrinkle Dew
That's Fletcher Honorama see the world
now from a different point of view
You, go easy now with him
Because this is his final whim
So be sure that the boy don't die before the morn
You're the only bank that's open all night, La Dolce Vita
Now that's clear, can you give me a light, La Dolce Vita
Now that that's clear, when do we eat? La Dolce Vita
Now that that's clear can I have another plate of your
La Dolce Vita
CHORUS
Goldiggers arise
Goldiggers are hungry guys
Goldiggers are we
Step up follow me
Mira, mira, guys, there's Lira in her eyes, La Dolce Vita
Looking real bored is what you pay me for, La Dolce Vita
Looking real bored's as hard as scrubbing floors, La Dolce Vita
I'm overpaid but still I'll ask for more, La Dolce Vita
Baby, after all you've got to help the poor, La Dolce Vita
CHORUS
Mira, mira, guys, there's Lira in here eyes, La Dolce Vita
I catch a cold just by looking in your eyes, La Dolce Vita
That's just a hazard in work of this kind, La Dolce Vita
Baby you're looking younger every day, La Dolce Vita
I really mean it, it ain't just the pay, La Dolce Vita
CHORUS
Mira, mira, guys, there's Lira in her eyes, La Dolce Vita
Life isn't much, but there's nothing else to do, La Dolce Vita
Lots of reasons why I'm chasing you
Lots of reasons only you will do
The way you look is like a movie star
Lots of reasons why I've gone this far
Everybody you'll find me on your trail
Lots of problems but I will not fail
You're intelligent but that's no threat
I've been reading every chance I get
And I'm closer to you each day
But you manage to slip away
But I'll never give up on you
I could be fifty
I could be sixty
I could be seventy
I could be eighty
Lots of reasons why I will not fail
You're a walkin' talkin' Holy Grail
I got stamina and I got shoes
And I gotta nothing else to do
And I'm closer to you each day
But you manage to slip away
But I'll never give up on you
I could be fifty
I could be sixty
I could be seventy
I could be eighty
I'm so close
I'm so close
I'm so close
I'm so close
Lots of times I thought of giving up
Lots of times I said, "Enough's enough"
Then I thought of what you mean to me
How you made a real fiend of me
And I'm closer to you each day
But you manage to slip away
But I'll never give up on you
I could be fifty
I could be sixty
I could be seventy
I could be eighty
I'm so close
I'm so close
I'm so close
I'm so close
Lots of reasons why I'm chasing you
Lots of reasons only you will do
I can feel a real affinity
Stirring up my masculinity
Lots of reasons
Lots of reasons
Lots of reasons

You're so independent, but that's gonna change real soon.
With my other voice I can destroy this room.
I'll wrap my voice around you and I'll drag you
everywhere.
My other voice.
You think you're romantic, well I'll whisper in your ear.
I'll be all you'll hear for years, and years, and years.
You may be deaf to everything, you won't be deaf to me.
Someone to bring me out
Someone to let me in
Someone, someone...
And all the eager-beaver men come macho way their blues
They place themselves in place of me and face to face with you
And each pretend, you're loving him but that's not very true
'Cause you're not acting, nor am I though I could use some proof
Marry me, marry me, what's the story
Though a thousend hungry people try to crash our story
But no one in this darkened world
Need ever know but I know
Marry me
A happily-ever-after does that seem to much to ask?
With trees and tots and stucco walls and fountains in the back
And lawns that you or I can mow and neighbours who will chat
About important issues and the state of this 'n that
Marry me, marry me, what's the story
Though a thousend hungry people try to crash our story
Someone to bring me out
Someone to let me in
Someone to bring me joy
Somebody near me
Somebody near me
Somebody nearly me
The purple mountains majesty above the fruited plain
Is peeling off the wall of Lucky Miramar Motel
Marry me, marry me, what's the story
Though a thousend hungry people try to crash our story
But no one in this darkened world
Need ever know but I know
Marry me
Someone to bring me out
Someone to let me in
Someone to bring me joy
Somebody near me
Somebody near me
Somebody nearly me
Marry me, marry me, what's the story
Though a thousend hungry people try to crash our story.
Marry me, marry me, what's the story
Though a thousend hungry people try to crash our story.
Marry me, marry me, what's the story
I married myself
I'm very happy together
I married myself
I'm very happy together
I married myself
I'm very happy together
Long, long walks on the beach, lovely times
I married myself, I'm very happy together
Candlelight dinners home, lovely times
This time it's gonna last, this time it's gonna last
Forever, forever, forever
I married myself
I'm very happy together
I married myself
I'm very happy together
This time it's gonna last, this time it's gonna last
Forever, forever, forever
This time it's gonna last, this time it's gonna last
Forever, forever, forever
I married myself
I'm very happy together
Long, long walks on the beach, lovely times
I married myself, I'm very happy together
Candlelight dinners home, lovely times
This time it's gonna last, this time it's gonna last
Forever, forever, forever
This time it's gonna last, this time it's gonna last
Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a smiling drop of sun
Mi, the name I call myself
Fa's a long long way to run
So, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow So
Ti's a drink I have with my bread
Nothing in the world is perfect
Grin and bear it silently or yell into my ear
Complaints, it's my department
Complaints, it's my department
Everything you wear's too tight and clashes with the candlelight
Just give it back, no questions asked
Nothing in the world is perfect
Grin and bear it silently or yell into my ear
Complaints, stereophonic
Complaints, it's ironic
How they chatter, how they bore us like some avant- gardish chorus
Just give it back, no questions asked
I'll dive off the mezzanine if one more points at crooked seams
A sign of shoddy workmanship, of Asiatic hands that slipped
Just give it back, no questions asked
Nothing in the world is perfect
Grin and bear it silently or yell into my ear
Complaints, there's too many hours
Complaints, the bosses cower
Two weeks free from all complaining, it was due to our complaining
Take her to Spain, hear her complain
Now she says she is expecting
That's my fault for not protecting
Her from all the risks of passion
She's complaining, she's old-fashioned
Just give it back, no questions asked
Complaints, it's my department
I've just come back from England
With astounding, scientific sort of news
There exist in England living creatures
Much the same as me and you.
Sure, it sounds fantastic though,
But facts are facts most everywhere
That was in New York, it was in Paris, maybe the coast of Peru
No no no, no not fair, it was England
Yes it was, it was England
Yes it was, it was in her coal
How was England weather? much like ours but with a moister sort of air.
Their communication? much like ours but with a drier sort of air.
Reproduction? good question: final big surprise in there:
That's just like New York, just like Paris, just like the coast of Peru
No no no, me and her, there in England
Me and her, there in England
Me and her, there in England, oh
No no no, lots of fun, there in England
Lots of fun, there in England
Lots of fun, there in England, oh
England, oh, England...
England, oh, England...
England, oh, England...
England, oh, England...
England, oh, England...
England, oh, England...
England, oh, England...
England, oh, England...
No no no, lots of fun, there in England
Lots of fun, there in England
Lots of fun, there and you know?
Allright, I could tell you darling
That you feel it's just some wild wild fantasy.
In a parallel existence
Where we thought we masters really ought to be
Sure, go on and doubt it, that
I dreamt it up but friend I know
That everywhere is just like England
Everywhere is just like England
And England's just like everywhere I know
No no no, Everywhere is just like England
Everywhere is just like England
Take it from the top
I hate to see "The End"
It doesn't matter 'bout the plot
Wish it weren't pretend
Once we've done the scene
And it ain't quite right
We should use the method, girl
And practice through the night
Now we do the look
Now we do the touch
Now we do the long embrace
And soon the real good stuff
Love scenes, I know that the two of us could play
Love scenes, I know that you'd like it and you'll say
With you and me it's love scenes
I think I know the part
My motivation's fine
You be the director and
Let's turn this into art
Once again the look
Once again the touch
Once again the long embrace
And now the real good stuff
Love scenes, I know that the two of us could play
Love scenes, I know that you'd like it and you'll say
With you and me it's love scenes
Love scenes, I just wanna play them all the time
Love scenes, why don't you join me anytime
Love scenes, I know that the two of us could play
Love scenes, I know that you'd like it and you'll say
I don't know about you, but I'm sitting pretty
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
Vodka on ice, and a hostess who's witty
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
Buckle up, buckle up, buckle up, daddy-o
Stow your bags overhead or it ain't a go
Buckle up, buckle up, buckle up, daddy-o
You never know, you never know, do you
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
We've got reservations
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
We've got reservations
I don't know about you, but I love adventure
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
On Aeroflot, every flight's an adventure
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
Stretch on out, daddy-o, we're talking space
Every pilot is an honored Mig ace
Leningrad, St. Petersburg, in either case
You never know, you never you, do you
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot"
We've got reservations
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
We've got reservations
Way back in coach they're singing 'Viva Vacation'
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
Up here in business is the United Nations
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
Blinis on your plate and Eisenstein on screen
Richard Branson must be turning red or green
Stewardesses look like high-school beauty queens
They never say nyet, service supreme, supreme
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
We've got reservations
We're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot, we're flying Aeroflot
We've got reservations
They laughed with me then laughed at me
They said "how true", they said "not you"
They thought how wise, then thought goodbye
Your hit your stride, then Mr. Hyde
Ride 'em, I got thrown again
Ride 'em, get back on again
I swam, I sank, top seed, unranked
The pole, the wall, the pride, the fall
A state of grace, slapped in the face
A state of mind, then card declined
From great to good, from good to fair
To barely pass, stay after class
I'm hot I'm cold, I'm bought, I'm sold
First accolades then hand grenades
They hate your look, they hate your book
They hate your guts, you've heard enough
It's not your day, it's not your week
It's not your month, it's not your year
First AOK, then IOU
BMOC, then MIA
From DIY to DUI
From 411 to 911
From soup to nuts, from job to cuts
From sure to chance, from can to can'ts
From smart to dumb, from bread to crumbs
From wowed to bored, Ole, then gored
From just desserts o just desserts
From you're for me to ca suffit
From bon vivant to sycophant
From open door to merde alors
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em, I got thrown again
What was I thinking, what was I thinking, what was I
thinking,
what could I have been thinking.
It's going one time, it's going two times, sold to the
gent
who wears the stunned expression.
As I took it off their hands, a five pound note was
changinghands.
I had plans, I had plans
[Chorus:]
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to do with that thing
Now that I own the BBC
What am I supposed to make of this thing
All this power, all this glory, all these DJ's and all
theselorries
What was I thinking, what was I thinking, what was I
thinking
What could I have been thinking
Hey Rupert Murdoch, help me out
I'm flying blind, I'm flying blind
You know the way to lay things out, for the refined
andunrefined.
[Chorus:]
Hey Ted Turner, help me out
I'm flying blind, I'm flying blind
You know the way to lay things out, to colorize and
still feelfine.
[Chorus:]
Make of it what you will, make of it what you will,
make of itwhat you will
make of it what you will
Should we go brighter, should we go lighter, should we
gowhiter
Go left or righter
What was I thinking, what was i thinking, what was I
thinking
I wasn't thinking, what could I have been thinking.
[Chorus:]
Make of it what you will, make of it what you will,
make of itwhat you will
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light?
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and one more thing
Can I invade your country
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Invade your country
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and one more thing
Can I invade your country
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Invade your country
Countries, planets, stars
Galaxies so far
Don't let freedom fade
Baby, let's invade
Galaxies so far
Don't let freedom fade
Baby, let's invade
Countries, planets, stars
Galaxies so far
Don't let freedom fade
Baby, let's invade
Baby, let's invade
Can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Baby, let's invade
Take it out, take it out
Take it out
Take it out, take it out
Take it out
Take it out, take it out
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and one more thing
Can I invade your country, oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?
Oh baby, baby, can I invade your country?

Can I invade your country, oh baby, baby?
Can I invade your country?
I don't know why
This dancing doesn't mean a lot to me
All that it does is make me want to be
All alone with you tonight
When I feel you by my side
I go ape
Dim all the lights
Squeeze me so tight that logic flies from me
This room is filled with possibilities
Hush now listen and you'll hear
Something bordering on weird
Can you hear
No exaggeration, no hallucination
I can hear it singing now
It's a song that sings itself
It's a song that sings itself
Twelve o'clock and all is well
Young fools are we
We think we own the world and own the stars
And yet in fact we barely own our cars
But in moments such as these
There are future memories
You will see
No exaggeration, no hallucination
I can hear it singing now
It's a song that sings itself
It's a song that sings itself
Twelve o'clock and all is well
It's a song that sings itself
It's a song that sings itself
Look askance
Just a glance
Just enough
To incite the wrath
Of her confidante
Strong though gaunt
And that's how to get your ass kicked
How to get your ass kicked
Never learn
To discern
Areas
Where you don't belong
So you venture out
Head in clouds
And that's how to get your ass kicked
How to get your ass kicked
I know, i know, i know, i know
Driving home,
Bikes in chrome
Cut you off
And you flip them off
And they take their turns
Many turns
And that's how to get your ass kicked
How to get your kicked
I know, i know, i know, i know
In the end
Then is when
You will pray
But you won't be answered
And then you'll go
End of show
And that's how to get your ass kicked
How to get your ass kicked
Just like everything else in this world
Time wreaks havoc on every girl
What do you do, what do you do, what do you do?
Throw her away and get a new one
If you've got a girl with elegant taste
It's only a matter of time
Bowling or root beer or taking the train
A girl in her decline
Throw her away and get a new one,
Throw her away and get a new one,
Throw her away and get a new one, a new one
Just like everything else in this world
Changes come to the strongest of girls
What do you do, what do you do, what do you do?
Throw her away and get a new one
Now may we present, she's the top of
The line a 1959
In top notch shape, but it's always the same
It's only a matter of time
Throw her away and get a new one,
Throw her away and get a new one,
Throw her away and get a new one, a new one
If you've got a girl, better look at her waist
If you've got a girl, better check out her face
Or maybe it's only a change in your taste
Throw her away and get a new one,
Throw her away and get a new one,
The canopy over the main doorway of the Ritz hotel
Had served as a very large umbrella when the May rains fell
Still the men of Paris glistened and their ladies did as well
As long as their powder was dry there'd be some heterosexual thrills
With or without the protection of the Paris Ritz hotel
And every single Parisian will love tonight without using hands
And these are the slides that Mary took when we were overseas
Oh, look at the funny little Frenchman with some French company
There's the Ritz hotel where me and Mary stayed a couple of days
Jerry, let go of your sister, what is wrong with you today
Sit over there with your mother and let's sing La Marseillaise
The only way children are punished, unlike old times is without using hands
Oh, what a lovely city, city, city, city
Oh, what a lovely city, city, city, city
Oh, what a lovely city, city, city, city
Oh, what a lovely city, city, city, city
Oh, are you willing to go
Oh, are you willing to go
How about letting me know, without using hands
When the explosion rocked the lobby of the Ritz hotel
Nobody moved for fear of learning that they weren't all that well
Is there is anybody missing, answer only if you're well
Everyone cheered the good fortune, for indeed it turned out well
Only the manager suffered, but at least his face looks swell
The manager is going to live his entire life without using hands
Scheherazade, you enslave me
Others begged, crying "save me"
Wasted words, hatred tore me
Scheherazade, tell me stories
Ships at sea, all imagined
Bravery, all imagined
Bloodless blood, colorblindness
Scheherazade, who's behind this?
Scheherazade, there's a sameness
To the world in its plainness
But your worlds are on fire
Filled with lust
Filled with liars
Once upon a time
Very, very long ago
Once upon a time
Very, very far away
All I want are illusions
Scheherazade, no conclusions
Every night, entertain me
No repeats, entertain me
Ships at sea, all imagined
Bravery, all imagined
Bloodless blood, colorblindness
Scheherazade, you're behind this
Scheherazade, Scheherazade, Scheherazade, Scheherazade
He came home
And instead of hearing the usual bass and drums
He heard
Violins, violins, violins
Senseless violins, senseless violins, senseless violins
He heard
Capacity 400 - I see seating for three-quarts of me
Are we all seated properly now
We can begin us to spend
Lovely Claudine Jones has come to push her quilt
Next to her we have her sister's slur
Who has come with their parts they have passed
Mrs. Wrong presents a painted one
From trees of the lands where she has been
Lovely Claudine Jones has come to push her quilt
Yes, she has
Second prize goes to Tracy Wise
For her seashells painted all through
Grand prize comes as no surprise
To Mrs. Landscape with rice
Lovely Claudine Jones still tries to push her quilt (ad
I'm one minute older and I'm doing all right

NOTHING... no nothing, IS... is, SACRED ...no sacred, ANY MORE
Adding some of this to some of that Madame Science wins again
We are now forever people, we'll outlive our will to live
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
I remember when I needed you several billion years ago
If you'll hang on just a trifle more I might need you once again
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
I am sure you will appreciate your new found leisure time
I am sure we will appreciate our new found leisure time
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Nothing is sacred any more
Well, if you have the money I've got time
And if you know a honey I've got time
If you have the money I've got time

Tropical air helps us harvest all year
And serves to promote the vitamin C content
In turn yielding greater demand
Pineapple: Got to send a case to the city jail
The warden likes it because it won't conceal
Any sort of handmade weapons
That are baked right into their buns
And the taste is delectable
But won't the prisoners hit the table and shout
Pineapple, pineapple, pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: shares are gonna divide
Pineapple: if in us you confide
Got a contract for all of the schools
They will use it for all of their meals
Sure, the kids will throw it real far
'Cause it ain't a milk chocolate bar
But you know it don't stain so bad
But won't the fling it at a friend and then shout
Pineapple: tastes too healthy to me
Pineapple: it's filled with vitamin C
Pineapple: fulfills every need
Pineapple: to all the ships at sea
Pineapple: for the English at tea
Pineapple: to the Siamese twins
Pineapple: to heal those who have sinned
Ship some to the Alpine skiing team
The coach won't have to worry 'bout the calories
Sure it ain't strudel (they're nice)
But it helps your balance on ice
Puts you back on the winning trail
But don't the players moan and groan and then shout:
Pineapple: we get it every old night
Pineapple: but we're winning all right
Pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: shares are gonna divide
Pineapple: if in us you confide
Pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: upward trends are foreseen
Pineapple: so invest in Big P
Pineapple fulfills every need
Pineapple: and the tins can be used
Pineapple: for anything that you choose
Pineapple, pineapple
We'll jet you there, breathe the Hawaiian air
Where hula is life, and luaus are for the wife
Why don't you please go with me underground
Down under seas, you and me underground
Once I dreamed I was on a basement tape
Took in just one take
Oh Lord, we gained our world distribution by relevant means
Jazz folk-rock fusion appealed to the teens
Why don't ya please go with me underground
Where love is free and supergroups can be found
Take the plunge now deep into the earth
Where heavy sets do lurk
Oh you and I and mystery follows close at our heels
Whispering secrets and travelling concealed
Down under cities and the roots of the trees
Oh how I love you in times such as these
We shall sail off over rainbows till we spy the lands that come together
Smiles will greet us, heads will turn to meet us as we make the scene, as we would make the scene
Oh won't you please go with me underground
Oh won't you please go with me underground
Turn out the light, yeah, the light
And I might have a chance
I guess I look slightly worse
Than the Elephant Man
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
I went to high school
And majored in looking real bad
I got a real ugly mom
And a real ugly dad
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Whoa, ohWhoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Dress for success
That's what they say
I'm such a mess
That there just ain't no way
I know my breath is the sweetest
It really is great
But when I try just to kiss you
You say, "Better wait."
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Dress for success
That's whaat they said
Gimme some clothes
To slap over my head
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
I went to Balboa Island
And laid in the sand
I may be as ugly as sin
But at lest now I'm tan
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
Thrill rides and places, wide-open spaces
Played in a band, such harmless novelties
Wher's the forgetting, where's the regretting
Of lurid acts that never came to be
I've never been high, never been high, never been high
I've never been high, never been high, never been high
If I could buy it, maybe I'd try it
But my connections aren't what they once were
Paint me a picture, read me some scripture
Maybe I should've stuck it out with her
I've never been high, never been high, never been high
I've never been high, never been high, never been high
I've never been high. I've never been high
I've never been high. I've never been high
I've celebrated, birthdays and waited
Waited and waited, tomorrow's just a tease
Then I'll be something, then I'll be something
Look there's a camera, smile and say cheese
I've never been high, never been high, never been high
I brought it home and I opened it up
And a smile came to my face for the first time in a while
Yes a smile came to my face for the first time in a while
I turned it on
But nothing happened when I did
Nothing happened at all
I kicked it down the stairs
I threw it at the wall
Dressing up when the world is Levi Strauss
Dressing down when tuxedos fill the house
Going out when the rest are coming home
Coming home when the rest are going out
And when I'm broke and really down
Everybody's throwing tons around
And when I finally get my pay
Everyone's in India or so they say
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
I want to be like everybody else
I want to be like everybody else
Gravity don't work on me
I want to be like everybody else
Drink your milk, then your coke,
then your rye
First you're born, then you live,
then you die
First you cry, then you sing, then
you moan
First you're wet, then you're dry,
then you're bone
It's such a 1, 2, 3 affair
Where did I go wrong, I'm stuck out here
I'm stuck, it's up to you
Hold me so tight they think I'm you
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be,
I wanna be
I want to be like everybody else
I want to be like everybody else
Gravity don't work on me
Who knows what the winds gonna bring when the invalids sing
"La la's" with a powerful sting that'll stop any opera or any Bing
Sing, spread the news across the land
All winners will be also-rans
Achoo - one size fits everyone
Achoo - one breath, the deed has been done
Grey hair and a dash and a flair give your doctor an air
I'm hurt, but the choice that you made is an obvious one
for a girl who needs care
I do hope that he makes you well
Say, is there any cure for Hell,
Achoo - one size fits everyone
Achoo - one breath, the deed has been done
Sing, Ile de France and everywhere
You can't ignore that sort of air
Achoo - one size fits everyone
Achoo - one breath, the deed has been done
So, open wide, open wide and say, open wide and say goodbye, you'll be OK
Achoo - he's gonna whisk you away
Oh pretty baby
You look helpless
There is beauty in pain
Help is coming
So don't you worry
Don't even try to explain
The sirens blaring
The look of panic
These are the signs of a dream
Cry pretty baby
You'll feel better
I'm trying hard not to scream
CHORUS
What will your mother say
What will your father say
What will the angels say
As they hide in disgrace
From your beautiful face
Hush my darling
There's tomorrow
We'll be laughing again
I'll buy a camera
We'll take vacations
Try not to move if you can
Without a warning
Without a reason
There wasn't even a scream
Don't call it tragic
That gives it meaning
I'm trying hard not to scream
CHORUS x 2
A tiny diamond
Lies out on Main Street
That's all that's left of our love
Without your loving
My life is nothing
How can I ever go on
CHORUS x 2
In a movie, a life can be summed up in a word
It's a useful, dramatic device
In the real world, with real flesh and real blood
Don't let it get me,
don't let it get me, oww
Don't let it get me,
don't let it get me, oww
don't let it get me, oww
don't let it get me, oww
Well, it's Saturday night and I'm still free
and I ain't never gonna be
eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
It's hard to fight it off much more
I can hear it droolin' by the door
eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
It ain't a pretty sight to see the way it leaves 'em
(Don't let it get me)
It chews 'em up and spits out creatures with those goo-gooey eyes
sick-sickly smiles
It just ain't right
And my father said, "Don't worry, son"
But look at him, he shoulda' run
eaten by the monster of love
Don't let it get me,
don't let it get me, oww.
don't let it get me, oww.
don't let it get me, oww
Well, it's worse than war, it's worse than death
There ain't too many left who ain't been
eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
Buy a dog and that might help
but sometimes though a dog gets rabid
eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
It ain't a pretty sight to see the way it leaves 'em
(Don't let it get me)
It chews 'em up and spits out creatures with those goo-gooey eyes
sick-sickly smiles
It just ain't right
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
let it huff, let it puff
(Don't let it get me)
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
I hate to gripe
but I just ain't the type
Don't let it get me,
don't let it get me, oww
Don't let it get me,
don't let it get me, oww
Don't let it get me,
don't let it get me, oww.
Don't let it get me,
don't let it get me, oww.
Well, I know some really good good people
overcome and piece by piece they were
eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
Sometimes it takes a nip at me
but I'm too quick to ever be
eaten by the monster of love
Don't let it get me,
don't let it get me, oww.
don't let it get me, oww.
don't let it get me, oww.
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)
Eaten by the monster of love
(Don't let it get me)

The earth is shaking, so am I
If you don't run, it's suicide
Big Boy, Big Boy
My name is David, he don't care
He's never nice, he's never scared
Big Boy, Big Boy
Big Boy comes around
Throws his weight around
Throws our girls around
Leaves without a sound
Big Boy, Big Boy
He's well-equipped, the girls are sure
Is that a guess, or something more
Big Boy, Big Boy
We're bored to tears until he comes
And then we're crying cause he's come
Big Boy, Big Boy
Big Boy comes around
Throws his weight around
Throws our girls around
Leaves without a sound
Big Boy, Big Boy
The earth is shaking, so am I
If you don't run, it's suicide
I searched the whole encyclopedia from A to Z
And had no luck, no luck
It listed beriberi, menopause, and even halitosis
No luck, no luck
And then I asked my brother who is kinda thick
Tell me what I got, I'm feeling really sick
Brother keep away from me
You got girls on the brain
It's really rough when you got
You got girls on the brain
Everytime I go to church
I just can't think about the Lord at all
(Girls on the brain) At all
(Girls on the brain) At all
Everytime I go to work
It seems I'm always walking into walls
(Girls on the brain) Them old walls
(Girls on the brain) Oh no
It's getting worse and worse
And then you pat me on the back
In fifty years you may outgrow it
Just like that
But until then I got
I got girls on the brain
Boy I'm in pain
They drive me insane
It's really rough when you got
You got girls on the brain
(God knows it's rough)
I'll give this hundred dollar bill
To anybody who can help at all
Don't everybody shout at once
It seems there's nothing can be done at all
It's getting worse and worse but lately
I can live with it
I'm starting to enjoy it
Just a little bit
Like it or not I got
I got girls on the brain
Like it or not I got
It was a dark and stormy night that I stepped out
Something strange was in the air, I couldn't figure it out
Who's there, tell me what you want from me
Oh no, I can't believe what I now see
They say the paranormal's just a sucker's game
I keep an open mind, but deep down I feel the same
Oh no, now I think I've changed my mind
Oh no, now I know I've changed my mind
CHORUS
The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging 'round
Hovers over farmland, lingers over towns
The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique
If he were alive he'd now be at his peak
The ghost of Liberace
The ghost of Liberace
Across the street, in fact across the whole damn town
They're making fun of him, they try to put him down
Oh yeah, but I wished they'd let him be
Oh yeah, he's not hurting you or me
Sometimes he blinds the drivers with his shiny suits
They see that smile and they laugh at him, hey don't shoot
Oh no, now he's hung in effigy
On no, why can't they just let him be
The ghost of Liberace
The ghost of Liberace
CHORUS x 2
He hums Evita and Moon River and Michelle
Maybe that's why the people scream out "go to hell"
Oh no, now they're throwing cans of beer
Oh no, I thought ghosts could disappear
But he remains in all his glory, it's so strange
These aren't the kind of people he can change
But wait, now they're starting to applaud
I guess there really is a God above
CHORUS x 2
The ghost of Liberace
I hope it doesn't show
It'll go 'way
It's just a passing phase
It'll go 'way
You can dress nautical
Learn to tie knots
Take lots of Dramamine
Out on your yacht
But when you're all alone
And nothing bites
You'll wish you stayed at home
With someone nice
But when you think you made it disappear
It comes again, "Hello, I'm here" and
I've got angst in my pants
You can be smart as hell
Know how to add
Know how to figure things
On yellow pads
Answer so no one knows
What you just said
But when you're all alone
You and your head
What's the computer say, it's mumbling now
It says "hey Joe"
It's spelled it out and
"You've got angst in your pants"
"You've got angst in your pants"
But when you think you've made it disappear
You're sure you made it disappear
And you've still got angst in your pants
I hope it doesn't show
It'll go 'way
It's just a passing phase
It'll go 'way
I hope it doesn't show
It'll go 'way
Give it a hundred years
It won't go 'way
And I've got angst in my pants
Albert is smart, he's a genius
Watch Albert putter, an obvious genius
Someday he will reassess the world
And he'll still have time for lots of girls
When he grows up, he'll remember us
When he grows up, we are sure that he'll remember us
We made sure that Albert wore his mac
We kept all the strangers off his back
(Go away)
Everything's relative
(Go away Albert's mother say to me)
We are his relatives and he don't need any non-relatives
Talent is an asset
You've got to understand that
Talent is an asset
And little Albert has it
Talent is an asset
And Albert surely has it
One day, he'll sever his apron strings
All of the while he'll be scribbling things, genius things
Look at Albert isn't he a sight
Growing, growing at the speed of light
(Go away)
Everything's relative
(Go away Albert's mother say to me)
We are his relatives and he don't need any non-relatives
Talent is an asset
And little Albert has it
(Go away)
Talent is relative
(Go away)
That's hypothetical
(Go away)
We are his relatives
(Go away)
That's parenthetical
(Go away)
Spare your superlatives
(Go away)
There's the receptacle
(Go away)
There's the receptacle
(Go away)
Leave Albert's study room
(Go away)
Leave Albert's happy room
(Go away)
Leave Albert's neighborhood
(Go away)
Leave Albert's city, too
(Go away)
Leave Albert's country seat
(Go away)
Leave Albert's coun-rer-y
(Go away)
Leave Albert's continent
(Go away)
Leave Albert's hemisphere
(Go away)
Leave Albert's planet, too
(Go away)
Leave Albert's universe
(Go away)
No one must see him now
(Go away)
Only the medical
(Go away)
No one must downgrade him
(Go away)
Don't be to cynical
(Go away)
Don't be to critical
(Go away)
Cancel the magazines
(Go away)
They're much to political
(Go away)
Don't buy him any jeans
(Go away)
They're much to casual
(Go away)
You keep runnin but theres no escape
You try move but your lying in the way
You look around and all your friends
Have been through what your doin
And your doin it all thinkin
Everything is gonna change
But life aint gonna wait you can fight it but you know it
Never will change aint nothin gonna change till you change
Your goin out tonight been up two days
Your dead inside but your still awake
You walk around and everybodys tellin you beautiful
And your doin it all thinkin
Everything is gonna change
But life aint gonna wait you can fight it but you know it
Never will change aint nothin gonna change
Till you change so far away from your home
No voice of reason completely alone
You know your shadow wont keep you warm
You've got to trust in summer, miracles can happen if you do
'Cause all that heat speeds change in everything, maybe even you
If you're a summertime believer
If you're a summertime believer
July, you were the plainest of Janes
Through August, you got rearranged
September, you're not just a brain
Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer
I tried to find myself this summertime,
I found you instead
And please forgive me Karen, but in June
you were kind of dead
But, then we had that three day hot spell
You really turned into a bombshell
July, you were the plainest of Janes
Through August, you got rearranged
September, you're not just a brain
Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer|
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Over the summer you're under the summer sun
Lying there, lying there, lying there, getting hot
You know the records that I got in June don't sound good no more
And all the clothes I bought in June are now rotting in my drawers
But you're a different girl, much better
A little redder, but much better
Was it just the heat of the sun
Was it that you had lots of fun
I wish that the summer weren't done
When I'm with you
I never have a problem when I'm with you
I'm really well adjusted when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I lose a lot of sleep when I'm with you
I meet a lot of people when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you
When I'm with you
It's the break in the song
When I should say something special
But the pressure is on, and I can't make up nothing special
Not when I'm with you
When I'm with you
I never feel like garbage when I'm with you
I almost feel normal when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
I'm always hot and bothered when I'm with you
I always need a shower when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you
When I'm with you
It's that break in the song
When I should say something special
But the pressure is on and I can't make up nothing special
Not when I'm with you
When I'm with you
I never need a mirror when I'm with you
I don't care what I look like when I'm with you, with you, with you
With you, when I'm with you
When I'm with you, when I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you, with you, with you, with you
When I'm with you
It's the break in the song
When I should say something special
But the pressure is on, and I can't make up nothing special
Not when I'm with you
When I'm with you
I never have a problem when I'm with you
I'm really well adjusted when I'm with you
I lose a lot of sleep when I'm with you
I meet a lot of people when I'm with you
I never feel like garbage when I'm with you
I almost feel normal when I'm with you, with you, with you, with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
Get in the swing, pal
Get in the swing
With everybody and everything
(repeat)
My friends are here
Mind if you go out and not come back again
Well, thanks a lot
Hooray, hooray
The night is younger than the girl who's got the touch
But not by much
Well, I ain't no Freud, I'm from L.A.
But I know certain things
That they also serve who sit and wait
They're cheaper than paintings
And don't need explaining
(Chorus)
When salmon spawn
A ton of water blocks their motion,
Spoils their game
But on they go
Thrashing 'til their mission is fulfilled or else
Oh, but they have their friends
And have a warm bed waiting
Just like I do with you
I'm happy, so happy, I'm happy, oh happy
(Chorus)
All for one, one for all
(Chorus)
Hello down there
This is your creator with a questionnaire
Hello up there
No use in our pretending we don't know what we know
We know a lot of things
I know each muscle on your back and every toe
But you've held out on me, I can tell from your eyes
Disguising the ace that you hold
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again
Where is that Yankee ingenuity
Somebody told me how the motion picture would end
I turned and glared at them
And then I read the way the world was going to end
With a whimpering sound, not a banging away
I'm sorry I gave it away
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again
Where is that Yankee ingenuity
I want a big surprise tonite
A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again
Where is that Yankee ingenuity
Break the rules and make a fool out of me
Where is that Yankee ingenuity right now
I want a big surprise tonite
I'm going back to see my girl
I hope it's all the same as then
I'm going back to see my girl
I hope it's all the same as then
Confusion, pardon the intrusion
This must not be the room I was in the other night
Confusion, an optical illusion, you see, you see
The number's the same as then
The color's the same as then
But something just isn't really right
Retrace your steps and see what happens, happens
Right from the doorway to your home
Back to your lonely room with only confusion
Was that her (yes, yes it was)
Was that him (yeah, yeah it was)
The girl was familiar but he wasn't me, no
Confusion, you think you know where you stand
But you're not even standing, you're flat on shaky ground
No clue then, and everything you knew then
Was only true in specialized cases, yes, in specialized cases
But in your case it wasn't true at all
Retrace your steps and see what happens, happens
Back to the day when you were born
Father and mother were just pictures, photos
The color was (the same as yours)
The surname (same as yours)
But you got the feeling, the feeling, the feeling
Confusion, la de da
Confusion, oh pardon me
Confusion, la tati
It's lovely sitting next to you
There's no one within miles of you
It's lovely sitting next to you
There's no one within miles of you
Confusion, you think you know where you stand
But you're not even standing, you're flat on shaky ground
No clue then, and everything you knew then
Was only true in specialized cases, yes, in specialized cases
But in your case, in your case
How I wished my folks were gracious hosts and not dismayed
But wit and wisdom take a backseat girl when you're that afraid
Oh no, bring her home and the folks look ill
My word, they can't forget, they never will
They can hear the storm troops on our lawn when I show her in
And the Frau is alive and well in our panelled den
Oh no, bring her home and the folks look ill
My word, they can't forget that war, what a war
My word, she's from Germany
Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed
My word... Germany
With its splendid castles and its fine cuisine
Well, the car I drive is parked outside, it's German-made
They resent that less than the people who are German-made
Oh no, bring her home and the folks look ill
My word, they can't forget that war, what a war, some war
My word... Germany
Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed
My word... Germany
With its splendid castles and its fine cuisine, its lovely German women
And its wonderful rivers that do flow from her hills
My word, she's from Germany
Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed
My word, she's from Germany
With its splendid castles and its fine cuisine
My word, she's from Germany
Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed
My word, she's from Germany
With its splendid castles and its fine cuisine
My word, she's from Germany
Well, it's the same old country but the people have changed
My word, she's from Germany
We're just a gleam in lover's eyes, steam on sweaty bodies in the night
One of us might make it through, the rest will disappear like dew
Pressure building, gettin' hot, give it, give it, give it all you got
When that love explosion comes, my, oh my, we want to be someone
CHORUS
Tryouts for the human race, from Burlington to Bonn
Ah, we are a quarter billion strong
Tryouts for the human race, from twilight time 'til dawn
We just want to be someone
We're the future and the past, we're the only way you're gonna last
We're just pawns in a funny game, tiny actors in the oldest play
It's an angry sea we face, just to get the chance to join the race
Gotta make it, gotta try, gotta get the chance to live and die
CHORUS
We must, we must, we must leave fromere
We must, we must, we must, we must leave from here
Gotta make our play, gotta get away
Gotta make our play, gotta get away
Gotta make our play, gotta get away
Gotta make our play
Let us out of here, let us out of here, let us out of here
We just want to feel the sun and be your little daughter or your son
We're just words that lovers use, words thaat light that automatic fuse
When that love explosion comes, my, oh my, we want to be someone
CHORUS
I tried to tell you in the night
That with a girl like you I could do without guided tours
You tried to tell me in the day
That your leading exports were textiles and iron ore
Hasta Manana Monsieur
Were the only words that I knew for sure
Hasta Manana Monsieur
Were the three little words that I knew you'd adore
Leaving my syntax back at school
I was thrown for a loss over gender and simple rules
You mentioned Kant and I was shocked
You know, where I come from, none of the girls have such foul tongues
Hasta Manana Monsieur
Were the only words that I knew for sure
Hasta Manana Monsieur
I'm gonna do it now
C'est la vie, c'est la mort, say no more, no no more
It's all the same, whether here or there or anywhere
There's them who have, and there are the others who have not
Kimono my house mon amour
I am sure that this motion don't need no accompanying words
Guess I was wrong because you've fled
Leaving me with my Michelin Guide and half-empty foreign bed
Hasta Manana Monsieur
Were the only words that I knew for sure
Hasta Manana Monsieur
Were the three little words that I knew you'd adore
Hasta Manana Monsieur
Were the only words that I knew for sure
Hasta Manana Monsieur
"Hello soldier boy," oh boy, she's spewing out her
propaganda, propaganda
Might makes right, though you are wrong,
you're right to fight her
propaganda, propaganda, propaganda
"Come to our side," she does say
"Come on over," she does say
Well I don't need more
Competition for
Her affection
You should fight on
Fight on
Good morning
Who are you?
I woke up and saw you
I'm dreaming, still dreaming
My life is now about to have some meaning
Good morning
I'm thinking
I must have
Been drinking
And said something clever
It must have been the best line from me ever
Thank you, God, for something rare as this
What surely must have been a holy night of bliss
Gratitude for having thought of me
I know your time is tight, and yet you thought of me
Good morning
You woke up
Got dressed up
Hair messed up
While I fix you breakfast
I hope it's just your laugh that is infectious
Good morning
In sorrow
I know that
Tomorrow
You'll be with some winner
Who's richer, younger, maybe even thinner
Rubles in the bank and petrol in the tank of some Mercedes Benz
Who spends and spends and spends on booked up restaurants
A thousand phony fronts
But will he ever wish you a good morning?
Thank you, God, for something rare as this
What surely must have been a holy night of bliss
Gratitude for having thought of me
I know your time is tight, and yet you thought of me
And did I stumble have a fall,
Hit my head against a wall
At some point did we trade vows?
Are you just some high-priced service from uptown?
Good morning
Buon giorno
Ohayo,
Buenas dias
Hey, where you going?
Hey, where you going?
Does dasvedonya really mean good morning?
Please spare me derision
I'll do my rendition
A lengthy recital
Of every song with foolish in the title
Good morning
Good morning
Good morning
I need you, I need you
I am a rhino
Plodding the jungle
Dinner time's here and
"Baby I'm home"
Me and my baby
We are so happy
Then I smell vinyl
"Darling, let's run!"
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down
I am a hippo
Sloshing through mud
And work is now over
"Baby, I'm home"
Isn't she lovely
Makes me feel comfy
Then I smell Jeeps and
"Darling, let's run!"
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
I'm a poor slob
From Reno, Nevada
I am a hunter
Of rhinos and hippos
Then I come home from
Months in the bush
I'm tired, I'm weary
"Darling, I'm home"
"Darling, darling, what's wrong?"
"Darling, darling, what's wrong?"
"Darling, darling, who's he?"
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down, down
Don't shoot me
Don't shoot me down, down, down
Nice shooting
Nice shooting, dear, dear, dear, dear
Nice shooting
I'm the wife of Clinton
I don't have a problem with all of this
They come and go, of course I know
I know everything
You don't know my thinking
Who I dream of or the gifts that I bring
One thing is clear, the atmosphere
Is thin and it's cold
[Chorus:]
Hear no evil (Monkey 1 says you shouldn't hear it)
See no evil (Monkey 2 says you shouldn't see it)
Speak no evil (Monkey 3 says you shouldn't speak it)
Hear no evil (Monkey 1 says you shouldn't hear it)
See no evil (Monkey 2 says you shouldn't see it)
Speak no evil (Monkey 3 says you shouldn't speak it)
I am Madame Mao
Following the Tao to the extreme
I know the score, all this and more
They're still in their teens
You don't know my thinking
Who I dream of or the gifts that I bring
One thing is true, I won't leave clues
To where I have been
[Chorus:]
We on the Potomac love good times
We on the Yangtze love good times
We on the Nile love good times
Can't get enough of good times
More than enough love to go 'round
More than enough power to go 'round
More than enough ids to be found
More than enough bids to go down
CHORUS
Hear no evil
See no evil
Speak no evil
I am Cleopatra
Caesar's former lover, now I am yours
Marc Antony, you're biting off
More than you can chew
Monkey 1 says you shouldn't hear it
Monkey 2 says you shouldn't see it
Monkey 3 says you shouldn't speak it
Hear no evil
See no evil
I've done my best to forget you
Dumped your perfume down my drain
My telephone is always in use, day and night
You've got a weird conception of love
If you thought that was love
Like a rocket, I am ready to fly
Back lit so you can't see their faces
Your replacement is everywhere
Brown bodies just a little too wide prance around
O.K., let's say my judgement was poor
Give me one more chance
And like a rocket, I will fly to your side
CHORUS
You got a hold of my heart
You got a hold of my heart
You got a hold of my heart
I've done my very best to forget you
And in fact, I failed
And like a rocket, I will fly to your side
CHORUS
The grass is greener on the other side
That's what some old guy said
But I know that old guy must have lied
Or he was out of his head
CHORUS
I found my thrill
I found my thrill
I found my thrill in Beverly Hills
Folks call her Jill
Folks call her Jill
Folks call her Jill but that ain't what I call her
She's like a star
She's like a star
She's like a star in some long running TV series
And we make love
And we make love
And we make love all the time
CHORUS
Come - the shopping mall of love
Come with me - the shopping mall of love
Quality - the shopping mall of love
All for free - the shopping mall of love
She makes me laugh
She makes me laugh
She makes me laugh
She makes me laugh
She makes me laugh
She makes me laugh
CHORUS
She's so uninhibited
She's so unlimited
That's just the start
She's so magnificent
She's so significant
A work of art
Like the Mona Lisa
The Venus de Milo
The Pieta
Or a Reclining Nude On The Wall
I found my thrill
I found my thrill
I found my thrill in Beverly Hills
CHORUS
Fog matters to you and me
But it can't touch Sherlock Holmes
Dogs bark and he knows their breed
And knows where they went last night
Knows their masters too
Oh baby, hold me tight
Just pretend I'm Sherlock Holmes
Just pretend I'm Sherlock Holmes
Just pretend I'm Sherlock Holmes
Stay, don't give me that same old act
I can call in Sherlock Holmes
He'll want your biography
And pictures of you in lace
And satin looking great
Oh baby, hold me tight
Spend the night with Sherlock Holmes
Hold me tight like Sherlock Holmes
Just pretend I'm Sherlock Holmes
Do you want to have fun?
Do you want a good time?
Do you want me to laugh?
Do you want me to cry
Do you want me to dance?
Do you want me to sing?
Do you want me to joke?
Should I be more like him?
I can dance like Sherlock Holmes
I can sing like Sherlock Holmes
But can't be Sherlock Holmes
I can dance like Sherlock Holmes
I can sing like Sherlock Holmes
You're gonna take a walk in the rain
And you're gonna get wet
(I predict)
You're gonna eat a bowl of chow mein
And be hungry real soon
(I predict)
Are my sources correct
(I predict)
They're gonna find the Queen is a man
But that Philip don't care
(I predict)
Lassie will prove that Elvis and her
Had a fleeting affair
(I predict)
Are my sources correct
Are my sources correct
Yes I know they're corect
(I predict)
Men, if you say your prayers
You'll never lose your hair
L.A. is safe
Ain't gonna quake
Ain't gonna quake, I predict
And somebody's gonna die
But I can't reveal who
Cold beer will cure a cold
Cold beer and pretzels, takes care of cancer
Moscow will march to France
They'll do the Can-Can Dance
Don't worry, it'll work out
Maxim's will throw them out
They're gonna stop Saturday night
So you better have fun now
(I predict)
They're gonna stop having the sun
So you better get tan now
(I predict)
And this song will fade out
Yes this song will fade out
And this song will fade out
(I predict)
Happy to see you
Setting me off like sparks
You ignite all the colours inside my heart
On the doorstep , like we'd never been apart
Hope you know that I'm happy to see you
(Verse One)
Its just another night
The boys are getting hype
But baby in my head
I'm nailing you instead
Its just another night
Under the strobe lights
Can't hear what I'm dancing to
Just wanna be with you
(Bridge)
Ooh chest tight and I'm ready to go
On my mind , I can't wait any more
(Chorus)
Now happy to see
Setting me off like sparks
You ignite all the colours inside my heart
On the doorstep , like we'd never been apart
Hope you know that I'm happy to see you
(Verse Two)
Them girls put on a show
But they will never know
What makes you beautiful
I watch them come and go
Them boys got all the talk
But they don't know a lot
You know my every thought
That's why I make em walk
(Bridge)
Ooh chest tight and I'm ready to go
On my mind , I can't wait any more
(Chorus)
Now happy to see you
Setting me off like sparks
You ignite all the colours inside my heart
On the doorstep , like we'd never been apart
Hope you know that I'm happy to see you
Nothing needed to say
We got nothing to prove
The world doesn't matter no when I'm with you
We got no games to play
So we got no rules
The world doesn't matter you're here and
(Chorus)
I'm happy to see you
Setting me off like sparks
You ignite all the colours inside my heart
On the doorstep , like we'd never been apart
Hope you know that I'm happy to see you
Happy to see you
Setting me off like sparks
You ignite all the colours inside my heart
On the doorstep , like we'd never been apart
Oh come on little angle take this chance
Oh come on take a risk on what we have
oh come on come on let me clip your wings
I'll walk you to the place you dare to dream
I'm ready to know to be on your side
I'm ready to know
Show me a place where I can start
Show me the way into your heart
Just another face in the dark
Another lost in the shadows
Too much heartbreak in the past
Too many things that never last
Babe I gotta hope but it's fading last
I've got my heart in trouble
But I'm giving it all
Oh come on come let me take your lead
Don't be afraid to make a move on me
i'll show you how a love is meant to be
Oh you don't need your wings to set you free
I'm ready to know to be on your side
Show me a place where I can start
Show me the way into your heart
Just another face in the dark
Another lost in the shadows
Too much heartbreak in the past
Too many things that never last
Babe I gotta hope but it's fading last
I've got my heart in trouble
But I'm giving it all
Oh won't you take me with you up, it's a beautiful
Light
You could be the one to save my soul tonight
Let our sparks ignite
Show me a place where I can start
Show me the way into your heart
Just another face in the dark
Another lost in the shadows
too much heartbreak in the past
Too many things that never last
Babe I gotta hope but it's fading fast
I've got my heart in trouble
But I'm giving it all
If I keep moving
I can hold off the pain
I just gotta keep moving
Further, further away
If I stop talking
The sparks are going to fly
So I'll just keep on walking
And just keep quiet
I just feel like you're drifting out
Could I keep this tide from turning
If I scream and I shout
I just feel like you're drifting out
Could I keep this tide from turning
I will scream and I will shout
Each day you take something
A little bigger every time
Look at me, I'm just an outline
You've taken what was mine
Each time I let you back in
A little foolish, I know
Look at me, I'm half the story
And I don't know where my story goes
I just feel like you're drifting out
Could I keep this tide from turning
If I scream and I shout
I just feel like you're drifting out
Could I keep this tide from turning
I will scream and I will shout
If I stop talking
The sparks are going to fly
So I'll just keep, keep quiet
If I stop talking
The sparks are going to fly
So I'll just keep, keep quiet
If I stop talking
The sparks are going to fly
So I'll just keep, keep quiet
If I stop talking
The sparks are going to fly
If I stop talking
The sparks are going to fly
