Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed, I´ll take it To Robert E. Lee I´ll show it I hope and pray he don´t blow it ´cause We´ve been around a long time just try try try tryin´ to Make the big time... Take me on a roller coaster Take me for an airplane ride Take me for a six days wonder but don´t you Don´t you throw my pride aside besides What´s real and make believe Baby Jane´s in Acapulco We are flyin´ down to Rio Throw me a line I´m sinking fast Clutching at straws can´t make it Havana sound we´re trying hard edge the hipster jiving Last picture shows down the drive-in You´re so sheer you´re so chic Teenage rebel of the week Flavours of the mountain steamline Midnight blue casino floors Dance the cha-cha through till sunrise Open up exclusive doors oh wow! Just like flamingos look the same So me and you, just we two got to search for something new Far beyond the pale horizon Some place near the desert strand Where my Studebaker takes me That´s where I´ll make my stand but wait Can´t you see that Holzer mane? What´s her name Virginia Plain |

(Ferry)
There's a new sensation A fabulous creation A danceable solution To teenage revolution Do the Strand love When you feel love It's the new way That's why we say Do the Strand Do it on the tables Quaglino's place or Mabel's Slow and gentle Sentimental All styles served here Louis Seize he prefer Laissez-faire Le Strand Tired of the tango Fed up with fandango Dance on moonbeams Slide on rainbows In furs or blue jeans You know what I mean Do the Strand Had your fill of Quadrilles The Madison and cheap thrills Bored with the Beguine The samba isn't your scene They're playing our tune By the pale moon We're incognito Down the Lido And we like the Strand Arabs at oasis Eskimos and Chinese If you feel blue Look through Who's Who See La Goulue And Nijinsky Do the Strandsky Weary of the Waltz And mashed potato schmaltz Rhododendron Is a nice flower Evergreen It lasts forever But it can't beat Strand power The Sphynx and Mona Lisa Lolita and Guernica Did the Strand |

Wish everybody would leave me alone -yeah
They're always calling on my telephone When I pick it up there's no one there So I walk outside just to take the air Come on with me cruising down the street Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet This brave new world's not like yesterday It can take you higher than the milky way Now I'm blinded I can't really see - yeah No more bright lights confusing me - no Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue 'Cause loving you is all I can do Hey good-looking boys - gather around The sidewalk papers gutter-press you down All those lies can be so unkind, They can make you feel like you're losing your mind Street Life Street Life Street Life What a Life Back to nature boys - Vasser girls too Watch what you say, or think, or do Continental-style strasse girls might But you know exactly if it's wrong or right Education is an important key - yes But the good life's never won by degrees - no Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale Only window shopping - it's strictly no sale Week end starts Friday soon after eight Your jet black magic helps you celebrate You may be stranded if you stick around And that's really something |

The sky is dark
The wind is cold The night is young Before it's old and grey We will know The trill of it all The time has come It's getting late It's now or never Don't hesitate or stall When I call Don't spoil The thrill of it all And before you go to sleep at night Preying shadows - do they ask you why? And in the morning through the afternoon Do you wonder where you're going to? ... Every word I use Each crumpled page Strange ideas Mature with age Like leaves When autumn falls Turn gold Then they hit the ground Every time I hear The latest sound It’s pure whiskey Reeling round and around My brain Oh and all o’ that jive It’s driving me wild - The dizzy spin I’m in Everywhere I look I see your face I hear your name It’s all over the place Hey girl Though you’ve gone Still I recall The trill of it all You might as well know what is right for you And make the most of what you like to do For all the pleasure that’s surrounding you Should compensate for all you’re going through ... So if you’re feeling fraught With mental strain Too much thinking’s got you down again Well let your senses skip Stay hip Keep cool To the thrill of it all When you try too much You lose control Pressure rises And so I’m told Something’s got the give Oy Veh High life ecstasy You might as well live I can’t see I can’t speak I couldn’t take more than another week Without you - oh no So I will drink my fill Till the trill is you Oh the thrill of it all Oh the thrill of it all No I won’t forget The thrill of it all No no no no no no no.... |

Somebody told me
Just the other day That you're leaving me We're through Well if you knew How it hurt me so Then you'd change your mind I'm sure Don't want to hear What's going on I don't care What's new Don't want to know About anything Cause all I want Is you Going out with other girls Was always such a bore But since I fell in love with you I need you more and more Don't want to know About one-night-stands Cut-price souvenirs All I want is The real thing And a night that lasts For years. If you ever change your mind I've a certain cure An old refrain, it lingers on L'amour, toujours l'amour Don't want to learn About etiquette From glossy magazines Why should I try To talk correct Like they do In another scenes Say no more About imagery You're starting to confuse Just make an offer Of more romance Of course I can't refuse All I want is you Oo oo I'm all cracked up on you. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By FERRY <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

'T ain't no big thing to wait for the bell to ring
't ain't no big thing the toll of the bell. Aggravated spare for days I troll down town the redlight place Jump up bubble up what's in store Love is the drug and I need to score. Showing out showing out Hit and run Boy meets girl where the beat goes on Stiched up tight can't shake free Love is the drug got a hook on me Oh catch that buzz love is the drug I'm thinking of Oh can't you see love is the drug for me. Late at night I parked my car staked my place in the singles bar. Face to face toe to toe Heart to heart as we hit the floor. Lumbered up limbo down The locked embrace stumble round I say go she say yes Dim the lights you can guess the rest. Oh catch the buzz |

All you cares
Now they seem Oh so far away All your fears I fear I once shared Now I know There's a future For all of us Not so long ago I was so scared You seemed so sad I could see Through your twisted smile So unsure Always confused Pale blue eyes Gazing down From your ivory tower Through the haze All broken and bruised Then: out of the blue Love came rushing in Out of the sky Came the sun Out of left field Came a lucky day Out of the blue No more pain I don't mind If it's only A passing craze Throwaway lines Often ring true If I were you I would stay For a little while I you were me Would you walk out In style? |

I've been around
So far it seems Too bad the blues Blew my schemes Dynamite Such sweet surprise In southern heat Or northern skies Ain't that so Shadows cling Where shutters close Who can tell Heaven knows Why some can laugh And some can sing Stand in line Or get on down and swing Ain't that so Cross the street who's ringing bells? Peeling walls Of cheap hotels Neon flare A sudden chill And there you lie And time stands still Ain't that so |

Yesterday - well it seemed so cool
When I walked you home, kissed goodnight I said "it's love" you said "all right" It's funny how I could never cry Until tonight and you pass by Hand in hand with another guy You're dressed to kill and guess who's dying? Dance away the heartache Dance away the tears Dance away Loneliness is a crowded room Full of open hearts turned to stone All together all alone All at once my whole world had changed Now I'm in the dark, off the wall Let the strobe light up them all I close my eyes and dance till dawn Dance away Now I know I must walk the line Until I find an open door There was I - many times a fool I hope and pray, but not too much Out of reach is out of touch All the way is far enough Dance away |

nothing lasts forever
of that I'm sure now you've made an offer I'll take some more young loving may be oh so mean will I still survive the same old scene? in our lighter moments precious few it's all that heavy weather we're going through when I turn the corner I can't believe it's still the same old movie that's haunting me young loving may be oh so mean trying to revive the same old scene young loving may be so extreme maybe we should try the same old scene |

Look at my hand
There's a soul on fire You can lead me even higher The main thing Everybody knows When a good thing's gone You can really turn me on The main thing You run through here With your words of sand I can nearly understand The main thing |

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing Fallen leaves in the night Who can say where they're blowing As free as the wind And hopefully learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning CHORUS More than this-there is nothing More than this-tell me one thing More than this-thre is nothing It was fun for a while There was no way of knowing Like a dream in the night Who can say where we're going No care in the world Maybe I'm learning Why the sea on the tide Has no way of turning CHORUS |
