Now there's a girl about town I'd like to know
I'd like to slip away with you And if you said you love me how could I mind? Is there another side to everything you do? Take in the country air You'll never win Gentlemen take polaroids They fall in love they fall in love Gentlemen take polaroids They fall in love they fall in love Breathe life into me Spin me round And I'll just sit and wonder why Just a foreign town with a foreign mind Why is everything so cut and dried? The taste of country air you'll never know Gentlemen take polaroids They fall in love they fall in love Gentlemen take polaroids They fall in love they fall in love Take in the country, ah you'll never win Gentlemen take polaroids They fall in love they fall in love Gentlemen take polaroids They fall in love they fall in love |

Tell me when the work is done
Tell me when the day is through And I'll drive safely inside my car Taking islands in Africa Shout if someone gets too near I'll know just what I ought to do I'll arrive safely in my car Taking islands in Africa Now you're feet are back on the ground again She'll say the weather's dim but relax my love Relax and swing Things you say are not too clear I'm someone you'll neither know again But I sit here and watch from afar Taking islands in Africa Whisper in the wind |

I never wanted to be on my own
I could be wrong but I just slipped away from home Now I'm gone Well way down south having minor ups and downs And then moving on ahead in leaps and bounds Why, boy, they're playing our song outside where no-one can hear Why, boy, they're playing our song at the start of my new career Well it's a different walk of life That I've come to know because at every port of call comes a time to go Well they say down south the sun won't set on my hometown It's just driving in this heat that gets me down I could never hurt anyone Least of all you |

It's a new design
The cut and style you know so well Spins across the floor It's the same routine Just one last word before you go Why should I ask for more? Then out of the blue you're here by me Moving Taking my chance Learning Methods of dance It's such as price to pay You sense the doubt inside my mind But never ask me why No second chances now I could be sure if I were to live at your speed of life Then out of the blue you're here by me Moving Taking my chance Learning Methods of dance Oh, oh, oh Methods of dance |

You do me wrong but I'm still crazy 'bout you
Stay away too long and I can't live without you Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more But each hurt just makes my love stronger than before I know that flowers grow to rain But how can love grow to pain? Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be You tell me lies that you'll be honest to me But I'm so much in love that I don't see that The things you do and say are designed to make me blue It's a doggone shame my love that your lies seem true If the truth makes love last longer Why do lies make love last stronger? Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be Oh I've cried so much just like a child that's lost his toy Maybe baby you think these tears I cry are tears of joy A child can cry so much and still do anything you say Well, I'm like a child my tears don't help me get my way I know that love can last through years But how can love last through tears? Ain't that peculiar, a peculiarity Ain't that peculiar, peculiar as can be |

Could I ever explain
This feeling of love it just lingers on The fear in my heart that keeps telling me which way to turn We'll wander again Our clothes they are wet We shy from the rain Longing to touch all the places we know we can hide The width of a room that can hold so much pleasure inside Here am I alone again A quiet town where life begins Here am I just wondering Nightporters go Nightporters slip away I'll watch for a sign And if I should ever again cross your mind I'll sit in my room and wait until nightlife begins I'm catching my breath We'll both brave the weather again Here am I alone again A quiet town where life gives in Here am I just wondering Nightporters go Nightporters slip away |

Taking islands in Africa
Watch the slow boat hit and run Outside there's a world waiting I'll take it all by storm And when the sunset finds me I'm coming home Taking islands in Africa Watch the slow boat hit and run Everyday the sun beats down I pull away from shore The wind blows hard into my sails Now I know I'm out of touch And times they could get tough But I move on so I cannot fail Taking islands in Africa Watch the slow boat hit and run When the evening fires burn The daylight dead and gone With you beside me we can run Outside there's a world waiting I'll take it all by storm And when the sunset finds me I'm coming home Taking islands in Africa Watch the slow boat hit and run Taking islands in Africa Just watch the slow boat hit and run Everyday the sun beats down I'll pull away from shore The wind blows hard into my sails |
