Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Pass me the suitcase, baby
I know it's not that easy
And give me my mirror, love
First give me back my memories
And oh, oh, how many years
Is it now Maurice?
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And I was half-asleep
And riding on a slow-coach
I think I lose all these things
Still, meaning I'm not holy
And, oh, oh, your honey-dish
Oh, it's on my list
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
Wish my heart's wish climbing out your window
For your savage amusement
You put a spell over me, well
Smells like lemon flavor
Tuesday, if I had you back again
You know I'm against the future
Wednesday, I was a little girl
I was the little girl who'd like to snog your face
And ooh, oh, how many years
Is it now Maurice?
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And then I shall take back to Maurice
What is wrong at the end of the day
What is really wrong no one dares to say
You know you're when there's only one right
but what is wrong when right is out of sight
Right rode away long ago
Before rescuing wrong from below
I might be mistaken, I know
but hey we need to be somewhat
Foolish, feebleminded,
wrong and senseless
Right rode off long ago,
there's nothing more you need to know,
there's nothing more you need to show,
Let us disagree
cause wrong was made, for you to be
What is false when we can't hear no more
And there is nothing to cover for
What is wrong in this old wasted game
May right and wrong be one and the same
Right rode away long ago
Before rescuing wrong from below
I might be mistaken, I know
but hey we need to be somewhat
Foolish, feebleminded,
wrong and senseless
Right rode off long ago,
there's nothing more you need to know,
there's nothing more you need to show,
Let us disagree
I see you standing over there
Cocktails and fingers through your hair
How about that
You like it like that
And poor boy seems so taken in
But I know your games are wearing thin
How about that
You like it like that
Still lighting up your dirty storms
Still laughing at all the same jokes
How about that (yeah)
You like it like that
Doesn't matter what you have to say
This ships already sailed away
Chorus
I don't really give a damn
Go and find another man
I don't wanna try and make it better
Never thought I'd let you go
Wasn't easy now I know
I don't think I could feel any better
So here's your last goodbye
Don't you pretend to cry
So here is your last goodbye
Don't you pretend to cry
No need for desperate alibies
You've always sucked at telling lies
How about that
What you think about that
Your still the queen of wannabes
Your mum will bring you to your knees
Chorus
Your tears they won't miss me
Your eyes they won't see me
Your lips will never kiss me
Your arms will never hold me
You thought I was the one but now I'm gone!
I'm coming around the bend
Been a long time on the avenue
Lovers and losers chained to my heart
Standing here waiting for you
Waiting here just for you to pass through
You can't wear me out
I'm at a hard place and a wall
Rolling down the avenue
Just rolling down the avenue
Blue velvet dreams, a neighbor for a friend
Flying high in the city, looks good again
Standing here waiting for you
Waiting here just for you to pass through
Motel man with a lizard hand
Honky tonk Dan and an old tin can
Ice cream on Sunday
Lots more on Monday
All lovers are fools and I'm gonna fool ya
Sidewalk hurricane blowing over me
Flower-bomb blow out down on Redondo beach
Baby I want to keep you, walk, talk and sleep you
