I was dancing when I was twelve I was dancing when I was aaah I danced myself right out of the womb Is it strange to dance so soon I danced myself right out of the womb.
I was dancing when I was eight Is it strange to dance so late I danced myself into the tomb Is it strange to dance so soon I danced myself into the tomb
Is it wrong to understand The fear that dwells inside a man What's it like to be a loon I liken it to a balloon
I danced myself out of the womb Is it strange to dance so soon I danced myself into the tomb But then again once more I danced myself out of the womb Is it strange to dance so soon I danced myself out of the womb

If I believe that I could do anything, Could I, spread my wings and say goodbye So many people told me I couldn’t win But look at me now Here I am in heaven’s sky
And sometimes I say a prayer Wishing that you could be here with me, cos I believe
I believe in love, it’s the best of everything I believe in hope and the changes it can bring If you believe then nothing can stand in your way Just say, I believe
If hope’s the house I wanna be living in Baby, I’ve got one foot in the door Yes I do All the years of waiting for your approval dear Well I realised I don’t need it anymore
‘Cause I’m stronger everyday, Now I’m strong enough to say, I believe
I believe in love, it’s the best of everything I believe in hope and the changes it can bring If you believe then nothing can stand in your way I believe
It’s a fact of life that we’re all in the game But it’s still your call But we all play it Sometimes we win, sometimes we fall But that’s no reason just to give it up, cause after all If you can’t choose what to be You can choose what to dream And I believe
I believe in love, it’s the best of everything I believe in hope and the changes it can bring If you believe then nothing can stand in your way Just say, (oh) I believe
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life - cos it's the one we'll never know And quit running for that runaway bus - cos those rosey days are few And - stop apologising for the things you've never done, Cos time is short and life is cruel - but it's up to us to change This town called malice.
Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious In a town called malice.
Struggle after struggle - year after year The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice - I'm almost stone cold dead In a town called malice.
A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef gets dashed against the Co-op To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear It's a big decision in a town called malice.
The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track It's at the moment bound for nowhere - just going round and round Playground kids and creaking swings - lost laughter in the breeze I could go on for hours and I probably will - but I'd sooner put some joy back In this town called malice.
A cross between Ramon Navarro and Marlene Dietrich We love to boogie, we love to boogie Jitterbug boogie, Bolan pretty boogie We love to boogie on a Saturday night
Belinda Mae Fender's got a Cadillac Bone Jenny's lost her cherry walking all the way home The passions of the Earth blasted it's mind Now it's neat sweet ready for the moon based grind
We love to boogie We love to boogie on a Saturday night We love to boogie High school boogie, jitterbug boogie We love to boogie on a Saturday night
You rattlesanke out with your tailfeathers high Jitterbug left and smile to the sky With your black velvet cape and your stovepipe hat Be-bop baby the dance is where it's at
We love to boogie, we love to boogie Jitterbug boogie, Bolan pretty boogie We love to boogie on a Saturday night
I love to boogie Yes I love to boogie on a Saturday night I said I love to boogie , I love to boogie Jitterbug boogie, I love to boogie I love to boogie on a Saturday night
London calling to the faraway towns Now that war is declared-and battle come down London calling to the underworld Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls London calling, now don't look at us All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust London calling, see we ain't got no swing 'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
CHORUS The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin A nuclear error, but I have no fear London is drowning-and I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone Forget it, brother, an' go it alone London calling upon the zombies of death Quit holding out-and draw another breath London calling-and I don't wanna shout But when we were talking-I saw you nodding out London calling, see we ain't got no highs Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
CHORUS
Now get this London calling, yeah, I was there, too An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true! London calling at the top of the dial After all this, won't you give me a smile?
But you won't fool the children of the revolution No you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no no
Well you can tear a plane in the falling rain I drive a rolls royce 'cos it's good for my voice But you won't fool the children of the revolution No you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no no - yeah!
No you won't fool the children of the revolution No you won't fool the children of the revolution No you won't fool the children of the revolution No way, yeah, wow!
Well you can bump and grind It is good for your mind Well you can twist and shout let it all hang out But you won't fool the children of the revolution No you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no no
Well you can tear a plane in the falling rain I drive a rolls royce 'cos it's good for my voice But you won't fool the children of the revolution No you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no no - yeah!
But you won't fool the children of the revolution No you won't fool the children of the revolution No you won't fool the children of the revolution No way, yeah, wow!
I was half in mind - I was half in need, And as the rain came down - I dropped to my knees and prayed I said "oh Heavenly thing - please cleanse my soul, I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all". I was halfway home - I was half insane, And every shop window I looked in just looked the same I said send me a sign to save my life 'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in these day's of mine
Y'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you That I know as much as the day I was born And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay) And promise myself each and every day - that -
When you're knocked on your back - an' your life's a flop and when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else but to shout to the top - shout!
Ride it on out like a bird in the sky ways Ride it on out like you were a bird, Fly it all out like an eagle in a sunbeam Ride it all out like you were a bird
Wear a tall hat like a Druid in the old days, Wear a tall hat and a tattooed gown, Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane, Wear your hair long babe, you can't go wrong
Catch a bright star and place it on you forehead, Say a few spells and babe there you go. Take a black cat and sit it on you shoulder And in the morning you'll know all you know
Wear a tall hat like a Druid in the old days, Wear a tall hat and a tattooed gown, Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane, Wear your hair long babe, you can't go wrong
I was dancing when I was twelve I was dancing when I was aaah I danced myself right out of the womb Is it strange to dance so soon I danced myself right out of the womb.
I was dancing when I was eight Is it strange to dance so late I danced myself into the tomb Is it strange to dance so soon I danced myself into the tomb
Is it wrong to understand The fear that dwells inside a man What's it like to be a loon I liken it to a balloon
I danced myself out of the womb Is it strange to dance so soon I danced myself into the tomb But then again once more I danced myself out of the womb Is it strange to dance so soon I danced myself out of the womb
