Chorus:
Why not come to Christ,
Why not make a great sacrifice
You've been wondering down in your mind,
Is this really the right time, yes, it is;
Why not come to Christ
Vamp:
He's waiting on you,
Whatcha' gonna do'
Ending:
You've been wondering down in your mind,
Is this really the right time, yes, it is;
Aberdeen's an old place
Dusseldorf's a cold place
Cold as spies can be
Lisp your way through Zurich
Walk on eggs in Munich
Rub salt in its knee
I'm not one for surgery
Premature senility
White car in Germany
Anonymous as bathrooms
Androgynous as Dachshunds
Try them out and see
If some brat annoys you
Do what's felt impromptu
Kick them in their own
Is this your infirmary
On the road to recovery
White car in Germany
White car
White car
(recorded by Olanda Draper & The Associates)
Chorus
You've got to give it up.
You've got to give it up now.
Verse
That habit that you thought
You could not break; give it up.
Those friends you thought were real,
But found to be fake; give it up now.
Vamp
Give it up
Ending
Picked it up, looked at it
Then pondered for a moment
Picked it up looked at it
Then threw it as far as I could
I threw it as far as I could
It bounced back.
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back.
Looked at it, picked it up
For a moment I pondered
Looked at it, picked it up
I couldn't get through to it then
I couldn't get through to it then
Bounce back,
Bounce back,
Bounce back,
Bounce back,
Bounce back,
Bounce back.
You always take offence so easily
You always take offence so easily
But my defence will overwhelm you
When it bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back.
Picked it up, looked at it
Then pondered for a moment
Picked it up looked at it
Then threw it as far as I could
I threw it as far as I could
It bounced back.
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back.
You always take offence so easily
You always take offence so easily
But my defence will overwhelm you
When it bounced back
Bounce back, bounce back, bounce back.
If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?
If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?
If I threw myself from the ninth storey
Would I levitate back to three
Well would I?
Would I bounce back?
Would I bounce back?
Transport to central
We need more like him,
Do all in your power
To keep him alive
His jawline's not perfect
but that can be altered
We've waited so long
For this one, to arrive.
Care and attention
Is all that is needed
The rest we can leave
Till some progress begins
We want some answers
To some of our questions
Till then we must wait
For the man from Peking.
The man from Peking
We first found a hand
The hand that pointed west
There the rest lay in sand.
Transport to central
We need more like him,
His jawline's not perfect
But that can be altered
His jawline's not perfect
But still interesting
Enough, enough.
Transport to central, We need more like him,
His jawline's not perfect but that can be altered
His jawline's not perfect but still interesting
Transport to central, we need more like him.
Transport to central, We need more like him,
His jawline's not perfect but that can be altered
His jawline's not perfect but still interesting
Transport to central, we need more like him.
Transport to central, We need more like him,
His jawline's not perfect but that can be altered
His jawline's not perfect but still interesting
Those First Impressions Lyrics
Those First Impressions
There were times
When I said
Hold me back
Hold my hand
Take me there
To your love
I've said prayers
Long enough
Those first impressions
They keep us guessing
In old familiar ways
With nothing new to say
It only tires me
But when you fire me
I want for nothing in this world
Now I know how to love
Now I know how to care
And I look at myself
And I now want to share
Those first impressions
They keep us guessing
In old familiar ways
With nothing new to say
It only tires me
But when you fire me
I want for nothing in this world
Was I lost
Was I weak
I was lying cheek to cheek
So convinced of my fall
That I fell for feeling small
Those first impressions
They keep us guessing
In old familiar ways
With nothing new to say
It only tires me
But when you fire me
I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup
Please don't start saying that
Or I'll start believing you
If I start believing you
I'll know that this party fears two
And what if this party fears two?
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here
From closer to near
Awake me
Don't turn around
I won't have to look at you
And what's not found
Is all that I see in you
My manners are failing me
I'm left feeling ugly
And you say it's wonderful
To live with I never will
So what if this party fears two?
The alcohol loves you while turning you blue
View it from here
From closer to near
Awake me
I'm standing still
And you say I dress too well
Still standing still
I might but it's hard to tell
Even a slight remark
Makes nonsense and turns to shark
Have I done something wrong?
What's wrong's the wrong that's always in wrong
I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'm here, you're there
I'm here, here's your share
Take your share
I'm here, you're there
I'm here, here's your share
Take your share
Just in case... just in case
When I say I
I mean, many, I mean many
When I say I
I mean, many, I mean many
Just in case... just in case
The affectionate punch draws blood
The affectionate punch draws blood draws blood
The affectionate punch draws blood
The affectionate punch draws blood draws blood
Even more blood even.
The affectionate punch
The affectionate punch
The affectionate punch
The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?
The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?
The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?
The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?
The affectionate punch
Who's affectionate?
The affectionate punch
Shrinking like a pygmy
Flinching like a warrior
Passive from prediction
Confirming of a somebody you
Ask him for an invite
He'll fix an invitation
I want someone to steal from
Anyone but probably you
Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll splint my hips
Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll bruise my lips
And if I must be frank well I must be tone deaf
Tell me Easter's adjourned
Tell me why, when and where
Tell me Easter's adjourned
I'll meet you half way there
I'll meet you
Be a dignitary
Call me by my surname
Isn't it inconsiderate
Could it be or should it be felt?
If I see you angry
It makes me want to kiss you
Massive contradiction
Confirming of a somebody you
Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll splint my hips
Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll bruise my lips
And if i must be frank well I must be tone deaf
Tell me Easter's adjourned
Tell me why when and where
Tell me Easter's adjourned
I'll meet you half way there
I'll meet you
I'll meet you
If I see you angry
It makes me want to kiss you
Massive contradiction
Confirming all that's somebody you
Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll splint my hips
Tell me Easter's on Friday
And I'll bruise my lips
And if i must be frank well I must be tone deaf
Tell me Easter's a drag adjourned
Lord you are you are my strong tower
I can call on your name at anytime, anytime
you're my strength you're my guide
you're always by my side
I'm so grateful for who you are
Lord you are my deliverer
You delivered me from a world of sin and shame
When I was out he took me in
He's been my very best friend
I'm so grateful for who o you are (repeat 1's verse)
I want the church to help me sing Yes, (choir)Yes
Say Yes (choir)Yes, Oh yes, (choir)oh-oh-oh Yes,
He's alpha, he's Omega, He's the beginning, and he's the end
Help me say YES, (choir)Yes, YES (choir)Yes,
(choir)YE. ES LOR-ORD, I'm so grateful for who-o you are (repeat)
Can you help me say yes, (choir)Yes
Yes (choir)Yes, Oh yes, (choir)oh-oh-oh Yes,
Listen He's my rock, rock in a weary land -
He's my shelter in the time of storm
Help me say YES, (choir)Yes, YES (choir)Yes,
(choir)YE. ES LOR-ORD, I'm so grateful for who-o you are (repeat)
Stephen you're still really something
England has its only nervy
Whoa oh oh Stephen
I'll tell you something
Stephen let's bring down the curtain
You know the love god
You must change your heart
We're coming sweet stubble
Well we're nothin' but trouble
Stephen you're still really something
Stephen electric lady (electric lady)
Stephen was she here my baby
Whoa oh oh Stephen
I was once anorexic
Stephen I'm a reborn skeptic
On perks and pill purses
Of wise little Herse and as
Immature hours must tears to dispower
Stephen you're still really something
If I'm going down I'll pull you down with me
In alot of ways send me poetry
Would I be more attractive
If I prove that he's mine
He's still got this urge to be Valentine
Oh Stephen, turning it even
Stephen, no need for treason
Stephen, what's on the jukebox?
Stephen, you know about the fraud talk
Whoa Stephen, I thought I'd just mention
Oh Stephen, I resent your ascension
Did you take a laugh
And then hold me back
As if nothin' you'd talked from
Back and it's grown from
Stephen, you're still really something
Stephen, you're still really something
And If I'm goin' down I'll pull you down with me
In alot of ways send me poetry
Would I be more attractive
If I prove that he's mine
Well I still got this urge to be Valentine
Oh Stephen, you're still really something
Oh Stephen, you're still really something
Whoa
Did you take a laugh
And then hold me back
But a' nothing is wasted
That I can't disclose
Stephen, you're still really something
Ooh Stephen, you're still really something
Stephen, you're still really something
Oh Stephen, you're still really something
Verse I
Stand up for right
Join in the fight
Be a soldier for Jesus
Stand up for what is right
Join in the fight
Be a soldier for Jesus
The world is under a siege of war
Your soul you must guard
To be on the winning team
Let God recruit your heart
In drug infested streets
Satan makes his attack
Arm yourself with prayer and praise
Drive the devil back
Chorus
Stand up for right
Join in the fight
Be a soldier for Jesus
Verse II
The combat zone is everywhere
Satan out to devour
His bark is worse than his bite
Against God's Almighty power
He'll tempt you to fall
Or to go AWOL
With power, truth untold
You can stop him cold
Vamp
Doors lead to other doors
Roads lead to other roads
They are simple they just happen
They're simple they take care of themselves
They're simple they just happen to be there
Embarrassed try one too
Whatever times left of day
Marvelous lousy could this be your safest way
Ancestral in its own deficiency
A deficit of skipping
Skipping
Skipping I left you there skipping
Ripping ropes from the Belgian wharfs
Breathless Beauxillous griffin once removed seemed dwarfed
They're simple in that they happen to be there
Embarrassed try one too
Whatever times left of day
Marvelous lousy could this be your safest way
Ancestral in its own deficiency
A deficit of skipping
Skip-skip, skip, skipping
Skip-skip, skip, skipping, skipping
Skip-skip, skip, skipping
Skip-skip, skip, skip-skipping
Skip-skip, skip, skipping
Skipping I left you there, I left you there
Skip-skip skip-skipping, skipping, skipping
Skipping I left you there
Skipping skipping
Come to Q quarters
We're watching heads of state from here
Sticking their Fabers
Deep into the empire's ear
Moulding the conscience
Severe in every secret sworn
Now take the cuckoo and revel in your image born
Push through the high ranks
Bulldoze sacred heritage
Instinct finds shelter
Cowering in the foliage
Detour reservoirs
Flood a city pretty please
Lost in petroleum
Fueled to fill the empty seas
Obsolete children
Their populations died en masse
Concrete civilians
Statues to the house of rest
Washing down bodies
Seems to me a dead-end chore
Floors me completely
Beauty drips from every pore
From every pore
From every pore
Q quarters
Q quarters
Q quarters
Come to Q quarters
We're watching heads of state from here
Sticking their Fabers
Deep into the empire's ear
Moulding the conscience
Severe and every secret sworn
Now take the cuckoo and revel in your image born
Q quarters

I built a house high on a hill,
I built a house, built it quite still
Use it on days when you feel need
Paper house stay paper house stay.
This gift exists if you accept
This gift exists will it be kept
Daughter I'm yours, flesh blood and still
I can't show warmth paper house will.
You give me great comfort
Although your not born
She'll sing and dance
And he'll be a surgeon
You'll give me great comfort
Although your not born
She'll sing and dance
And he'll be a surgeon
And I'll spend my last days alone
And abroad
Oh! Independence
There's a garden at the bottom.
There's a garden at the bottom.
I wrote a note and dug it underground
I dug it underground
I found a tool to scrape away the soil
I found a wooden soil
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered with nude spoons euphoria
I found a coin and washed away the silt
I found a shiny coin
A coin whose head was slightly to the tilt
Who'd leave it there in there in silt
It skimmed itself into the silvery Tay
Deep into the Tay
It's aging happening silvery in the Tay
Is it still there today with nude spoons euphoria?
It lies there with nude spoons euphoria
Just forget about it
Just forget about it
Just forget about
Nude spoons euphoria
Nude spoons euphoria
Nude spoons euphoria
I'm glad I had this vital heart attack
It clears psoriasis
I'm glad I had this vital heart attack
It makes me want to...
Wrote a note and dug it underground
I dug it underground
I found a tool to scrape away the soil
I found a wooden soil
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered
It lies there canistered for future reference
It lies there canistered with nude spoons euphoria
Just forget about it
Just forget about it
Just forget about
Nude spoons euphoria
Nude spoons euphoria
Tore my hair out from the roots
Planted them in someone's garden
Then I waited for the shoots
Then I waited for the shoots
Bit my nails down to the quick
Worrying myself sick about you
Tearing facial masks in bed
What kind of sequel is this that you dread
Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms in it
Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms in it
Shaved and cut myself again
Should have let it slip down further
Crushing sour stones taste sour
Every minute hears a medal
No no no no
Tear a strip from your dress
Wrap my arms in it
Wrap my arms in it
Tear a strip from your dress
My soul doth magnify the Lord (repeat)
For He has done so many wonderful & marvelous things

Well well well well well well well well a-well well
do-well do-well do-well do-well a-woo woo

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
My soul doth magnify the Lord
Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jesus!
Hypothermic ice cubes are melting down
With prisoners from BSA and the Royal Crown
A fertilising agent for the parasitic fool
Well he drinks double hernias
Spits out wooden stools
A European throwback is spasmodicular
If you can't do no good then sucker don't you do no harm

I know your heartbeat inside out
I hear a voice within its shout
To a blank silhouette,
Stenciled doubts spin the spine
Logan time, Logan time.
I caught me looking at myself
I caught me looking at myself
Now my voice deep with age
Talks in tongues of younger days
Logan time, Logan time.
Logan time, Logan time, Logan time.
I talk such nonsense while asleep
I lie for hours without your heat
Now the cough, nervous cough
Twitches on and twitches off
Logan time.
Logan time, Logan time,
Logan time, Logan time.
Logan time, Logan time,
Logan time, Logan time.
Logan time, Logan time,
I'll meet you at the gin-house
I wasn't walking that way
Here I'm lisping words so careful
I eat Viennas
Drunk parade
My drunk parade
I got my ears off a jackass
I cross my t's with black
I never ever knew there's a shyness
A shyness....also...
Help me out...to be sane
Help me out...to be sane

Mmm you hold out your hand
I draw mine away
I was once in touch now I've nothing to say
This time it's for real
We gave now we steal
No tears for I fear it's much better this way
We can't look at each other while distance of time
Has smothered all senses by form or design
If distance is health
Hell what do you say next?
What do you say?
What do you say?
Walk walk walk
It's better this way
Walk walk walk
We can't carry on
As if nothing's happened
As if nothing's wrong
Truth, truth stares in our face
It closes its book
It opens at trust
That's not where we belong
Walk walk walk
It's better this way
We can't carry on on on on on on and on
The room we sat in before
Now closes its door
It's trying to say it can't take anymore
The screams crack the walls
The pictures now fall
And who'll be the first to pick them off the...
Love love love on the rocks
Now crumbles like chalk
Your friends were once mine
Now they no longer talk
They all say "hello" but can't wait to go
We must try to run
We can no longer...

When I was down and out, Jesus, He brought me out and I've got a reason.
(Choir)
I've got a reason to praise the Lord.
(Verse)
When I was deep in sin and I had no peace within said I've got a reason.
(Choir)
Well He's been so good to me, gave me the victory
Walked right by my side, always been my guide

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above the heavenly hosts.
I praise Him for He's given me the Holy Ghost.
(Vamp)
I'll praise Him with my hands.
I'll praise Him in the dance.
I'll praise Him with my voice.
I'll praise Him. That's my choice.
Yes I'll praise Him.

But now I'm surrending my all to You,
Whatever the need, do what You have to do.

Verse 2
My whole body belongs to You;
Everything that I've earned,

Oh, I yield it and I give it;
Yield it and I give it.
(Repeat as desired)
Vamp
My all, I yield it.
My all, I freely give it.
I was so lonely, I couldn't see my way
Jesus came along and showed me a brighter day
Took away all of the doubt, washed away all of my sins
Now, I have joy and new life within
Chorus
Hallelujah, He abides
He abides with me
Hallelujah, He abides
He abides with me
My heart was troubled, this vessel was dry
He touched my soul, wiped the tears from my eyes
Still, the going got rough, and the going got tough
I gave my all to Jesus, and He filled my cup
Chorus
Now, there's no more pain, now there's no more strain
Only love, joy, peace, faith, meekness and temperance

Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live without numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Sunday is gloomy
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon they'll be candles and prayers that are said I know
Let them not weep let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream for in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday
Dreaming I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart dear
Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
Somewhere deep in the night
There's a child on his own
And his pulse isn't there
And the house is aglow
With the light from outside
Well the house is aglow.
There's a mattress downstairs
Full of brown peppered holes
And the horse hair is coarse
Not as coarse and as rough
As the rash thoughts that never heal sores.

Janis came took your clothes
Took your clothes
Janis came took your clothes
No one knows
Where she went to where she went to
Last time we heard that she went to
In the time it took to call you
In the time it took to call you
Which was seconds, merely seconds
Last time we heard she was crying... crying
We feel for you deeply concerned
If you need us, We'll be helpful
The fault is, I can find no fault in you
Assault is say it or I'll say it for you
If we stick around we're sure to be looked down upon
What better way or should I say?
Alive and kicking
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're old and sickening at the Country Club
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young I'm told
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're old and sickening at the Country Club
Your limitations are our every care
Every breath you breath belongs to... someone there
At all's two words could they be soldered as one
Therein lies the perfect pseudonym
To think you've learned to know someone and find
That you don't know don't know them at all
Alive and kicking
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young I'm told
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're old and sickening at the Country Club
Your limitations are our every care
Every breath you breath belongs to... someone there
Sad to see that you're suffering
Work hard at being a something
Sad to see that you're suffering
Work hard at being a something
Sad to see that you're suffering
Work hard at being a something
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're old and sickening at the Country Club
A drive from nowhere leaves you in the cold
Refrigeration keeps you young I'm told
Alive and kicking at the Country Club
We're always sickening at the Country Club
Your limitations are our every care
Clean me up, clean me up
Purge me on the inside
Wash me on the outside
Clean me up, clean me up
Prepare me to meet thy God
There's a Balm in Gilead
Healing the sin sick soul
It you let Him in
He'll clean you up
He'll wash you and make you whole
(Soloist first time; Choir second time)
Prepare me, I want to be pleasing in Your sight
(repeat 4x)
I wanna be pleasing
I wanna be pleasing
I wanna be pleasing
She gave herself
They took her to their hearts
Clapped their hands till sore
Once more eyes smart
Taxidermist gave life to Hugh
It sits and begs
And stares at you
Since when did you cook breakfast for
Lieutenant Paul in ruined mirador
This lease on life can tie you down
So precious is the jagged crown
Talk to me I'll stay these vagabond nights
Walk with me someone is waiting in light
Exchanging worlds arranging days
To suit a lover
Who'll never stay
Breakfast skies
Bring curtains down
Upon a crumbling lacquered gown
A crumbling lacquered gown
Ooh talk to me I'll stay these vagabond nights
Bap de la bap it's a milestone around your neck
Bap de la bap is checking who in retrospect
Crunching and chewing its way into the bone
Congealing itself with a toy from a splintered home
Bap de la bap it's an animal
Bap de la bap with its left foot off
Bap de la bap it follows you around
Bap de la bap it splutters and it coughs
It's not your fault if you're seeing it stripped and bared
Vasco de Gama only travelled with intent to stare
A burst of hunger leaves it feeling satisfied
A labrador sits on the bed
With its tsetses tied
Bap de la bap it's an animal
Bap de la bap with its left foot off
Bap de la bap it follows you around
Bap de la bap it splutters and it coughs
How does an antelope feel when it's getting chased
The same as a man with a geiger pointing in his face
Bap de la bap disregards all intelligence
Bap de la bap runs througgh us like a barded wire fence
Bap de la bap it's an animal
Bap de la bap with its left foot off
Bap de la bap it follows you around
Bap de la bap it splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
It splutters and it coughs
Baby Lyrics
Outside the rain begins and it may never end
So cry no more on the shore
A dream will take us out to sea
Forever more forever more
Close your eyes and dream
And and you can be with me
'Neath the waves through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone
We're all alone
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do
Lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear
Oh, hold me dear
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone
oh-oh, we're all alone
Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
You gave up my career
Promotion was insight
And just to keep the peace
I kept my mouth shut
Filling hours with others
Takes up too much time
I'm always catching colds
I never see to shake them off
You're never coming home, I cook some food for you
It lies there getting cold and then I clean my shoes
And then I clean my shoes I've got so many shoes
And then within the same breath you turn around and
Say it's just that I've never been in the position as to
Something sensible being drawn out of me
I had this awful dream
That all my teeth fell out
I couldn't live this way
So I slept for days on end
If my legs were made of wood
You would have never talked to me
And so it goes to show that all you want's
Above the knee
You're never coming home, I cook some food for you
It lies there getting cold and then I clean my shoes
And then I clean my shoes I've got so many shoes
And then within the same breath you turn around and
Say it's just that I've never been in the position as to
Something sensible being drawn out of me
You're never coming home, I cook some food for you
It lies there getting cold and then I clean my shoes
And then I clean my shoes I've got so many shoes
And then within the same breath you turn around and
Say it's just that I've never been in the position as to
Praise be to chance
For meeting us here
We cannot dance
We dance by ear
Feet tap in time
Out in the streets
We walk in straight lines
Like some naval fleet
And still we're trying
To find some interesting things to say
Let's talk of a manor or the affluent way
For what its worth amused as always,
Amused as always, amused.
Don't be so sure of days in advance
They might never come
Praise be to chance
Praise be to chance
For setting no rules
The chance it might take
May never be cruel.
And still we're trying
To find some interesting things to say
Let's talk of a manor or the affluent way
For what its worth amused as always,
Amused as always, amused.
Praise be to chance
For meeting us here
I will admit it
That you're something special
I'm now convinced
Marguaritte.
The flame may be hot
But you can't resist it.
To know is to touch
Marguaritte
Mama mama, Marguaritte
Marguaritte, Marguaritte.
I don't know whether
To over or under estimate you
Whether to over or under estimate you
For when I come over
You then put me under
Personal taste is a matter of gender
Marguaritte.
Don't let slip my name
While you're making love
Say you were dreaming
Marguaritte.
Thou shalt not commit
The seventh commandment
Most precious of all
Marguaritte.
Mama mama, Marguaritte.
Marguaritte, Marguaritte.
I don't know whether
To over or under estimate you
Whether to over or under estimate you
For when I come over
You then put me under
Personal taste is a matter of gender
Marguaritte.
I don't know whether
To over or under estimate you
Whether to over or under estimate you
For when I come over
You then put me under
Personal taste is a matter of gender
Why do he's call their ships she's?
For comfort or for company?
He phone calls his lover by name
Then another wave
Goodbye let stones skim their seas
Who'll crack the pavement today?
If he's so won't I be a slave?
But she wants my lifeline
Remain there for all time
A servant who'd save
Mona property girl
Mona property world Mona office blocks
Mona property girl
Mona property world Mona office blocks
No managerial tax
No managerial talks
Tell me what shape is your soul?
A manger was built out of gold
Her every shape
Like a monetry gate
Standing strange laugh at your ways buy the rounds
Mona property girl
Mona property world Mona office blocks
Mona property girl
Mona property world Mona office blocks
No managerial tax
No managerial talks
If you must spend my money
Then you must spend it wisely
Mona property girl
Mona property world Mona office blocks
Mona property girl
Mona property world Mona office blocks
No managerial tax
I told you not to meet me here
I can't be seen with you whispering in my ear
I don't mind holding hands
But not in front of company
It's not the done thing 'round here, baby
Next weekend we'll be on our own
And we can spend some time together all alone
But if she knew what I was doing
She'd throw the ring back in my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped "repair"
So we can't be seen in this place
Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
I don't know which side I'm on
But my friend John said not to care
Love affair
An 18 carat love affair
She might write to Evelyn home
If left alone and in despair
Please don't leave any clues around
The last time we...
She found some lipstick on the ground
I said an Avon girl had called
Free samples on display
She left her card
But I threw it away
But if she knew what I was doing
She'd throw the ring back in my face
An 18 carat love affair
Would then be stamped "repair"
So we can't be seen in this place
Love
