Look around your world pretty baby
Is it everything you’d hoped it’d be? The wrong guy, the wrong situation The right time to roll to me Roll to me Look into your heart pretty baby Is it aching with some nameless need? Is there something wrong and you can’t put your finger on it Right then roll to me And I don’t think I have ever seen A soul so in despair(ooooooooooo) So if you want to talk the night through Guess who will be there?(yeahhhhhhhhhhhh) So don’t try to deny it pretty baby You’ve been down so long you can hardly see When the engine’s stalled and it won’t stop raining it’s the Right time to roll to me Roll to me Roll to me And I don’t think I have ever seen A soul so in despair So if you want to talk the night through Guess who will be there? So look around your world pretty baby Is it everything you’d hoped it’d be? The wrong guy, the wrong situation The right time to roll to me The right time to roll to me the right time to roll to me...ooohhh |

it seems like weeks since you looked at me baby
without that look of distaste i don't know why your feelings are changing but i've seen it in your face all those times when our lips were kissing our tongues were telling lies and all those signs that i've been missing were right there in your eyes so come on babe let's kiss this thing goodbye i sometimes feel when we're together baby everything has turned out wrong and i know you feel exactly the same way but still we carry on i've been waiting up by the window watching these cars go by and i tell myself that i'll go through the motions for the last time tonight so come on babe let's kiss this thing goodbye now i'm watching the fumes foul up the sunrise i'm watching the light fade away and i'm hoping tonight that i'll open the door and you'll stand here and say come on babe let's kiss this thing goodbye better make it sooner than later before it all turns sour we'd better kiss this thing goodbye |

Lovehearts on an old stone building Have no relevance now Sherry bottles in a bus-stop litter bin Remind me of you somehow You look so young it’s frightening Life’s been good to you But strike me down with bolts of lightning If I wasn’t good to you too Throw me away, throw me away again ’Cos I don’t mind, I’m still satisfied With just a hatful of rain Merry widows in stock gloss magazines Dumbstruck open their mouths And out comes some old jackpot philosophy -- Everything must pay somehow And I’ve heard you say that he just works for me, Doing things that you can’t do But grease my palms with a hatful of currencies I don’t belong to you Throw me away, throw me away again ’Cos I don’t mind, I’m still satisfied With just a hatful of rain |

Everybody in the funhouse
Says they want out But we’re taking our time ’Cos we’re in love with time Whole generations thinking of themselves As infidels and pop stars While the bomb loses patience We line up and just lean against the bar Stone cold sober, looking for bottles of love. Caught in the headlights Wide-eyed and ready to receive We are the dead life Locked in dogfights, lost in disbelief And these dark days Make the nights seem brighter than they are So while Fleet Street rolls and the moon glows In the funhouse the fun starts Stone cold sober, looking for bottles of love. Born in the half-light Of threats and bribes In a hopeless porn parade We get the dog’s life, tidbits train us What to wear, what not to say When you’re footloose but you just feel limbless Life gets in the way So we get loaded or totally legless But stay the same Stone cold sober, looking for bottles of love. |

Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats Janitors padlock the gates For security guards to patrol And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink While the married ones turn on a chat show And they’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Gentlemen time please, you know we can’t serve anymore Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there’s nothing to go And by five o’clock everything’s dead And every third car is a cab And ignorant people sleep in their beds Like the doped white mice in the college lab Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before And we’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Telephone exchanges click while there’s nobody there The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care Close-circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same video every day And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed Just survive constant action replay Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before And we’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs While angry from Manchester writes to complain about All the repeats on T.V. And computer terminals report some gains On the values of copper and tin While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs For the price of a hospital wing Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all They’ll burn down the synagogues at six o’clock And we’ll all go along like before And we’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow |

So you’re in love with someone else
Someone who burns within your soul And it looks like I’m the last to know I hear you’ve never felt so alive So much desire beyond control And as usual I am the last to know The last to know how you’re feeling The last to know where you are The last to know if you’re happy now Or if he’s treating you like I treated you Or if he’s cruel I’ll be the last to know We spent summers up beyond the bay And you said these are such perfect days That if the bomb drops baby, I want to be the last to know But now you’re living up behind the hill And though we share the same city and feel the same sun When your winter comes I’ll be the last to know Always the last to know how you’re feeling The last to know where you are The last to know if you’re happy now Or if he’s pleading with you like I pleaded with you If you go don’t let me be the last to know Don’t let me be the last To know Creation’s gone crazy, the TV’s gone mad Now you’re the only sane thing that I have The last to know how you’re feeling The last to know where you are The last to know if you’re happy now Or if he’s cheating on you like I cheated on you And you were the last to know |

Look at the fool you have been
They drained the pool while you drowned in the dream They bought your beauty and your soul Then softly sold you back what they stole So look into the mirror do you recognise someone Is it who you always hoped you would become When you were young The disappointment of success Hangs from your shoulders like a hand-me down dress And down nostalgia’s rocky road You watch your former lovers growing old So look into the mirror do you recognise someone Is it who you always hoped you would become When you were young Sometimes your lack of sympathy gets hard to explain So on your mask of make up just paint A little parody of pain So I look into the mirror and I recognise someone It is who you always hoped you would become When you were young |

I still don’t believe it, how much we lied
Last night you made it with him now I’m supposed to be dignified Just like a man Well I spend my night times drinking and you spend your days in bed And I guess it’s up to us to choose the methods by which we forget And just like a man he holds you gently And just like a man he strokes your hair And just like a man I still pretend that I’m Immune to the whole affair But I wanna die, I wanna cry, I wanna tell you I was wrong Yeh I wanna die, I wanna cry but it’s too late So I soldier on just like a man I don’t believe it, you were easy to leave but now I do my best to relieve it the only way I know how Just like a man And I don’t wanna possess you, I don’t wanna take his place But I don’t wanna see my last few pleasures written all over his face And just like a man he holds you gently And just like a man he strokes your hair And just like a man I still pretend that I’m Immune to the whole affair But I wanna die, I wanna cry, I wanna tell you I was wrong Yeh I wanna die, I wanna cry but it’s too late So I soldier on just like a man And I have something to tell you but it doesn’t matter now I’ll stick to small talk and leave the little bits of flattery to him And I could call you but why would I bother to You might not be in or he might misunderstand Just like a man |

to moonn6pence from shootingstar
Driving through the long night Trying to figure who’s right and who’s wrong Now the kid has gone. I sit belted up tight, She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on. And I might be more of a man if I stopped this in it’s tracks And said, come on, let’s go home. But she’s got the wheel, And I’ve got nothing except what I have on. When you’re driving with the brakes on When you’re swimming with your boots on, It’s hard to say you love someone And it’s hard to say you don’t Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from The thing we’ve done. She shuts up the ashtray, and I say it’s a long way back now hon She just yawns. And we might get lost someplace So desolate that no one where we’re from would ever come But she’s got the wheel and I’ve got to deal from now on. But unless the moon falls tonight, unless continents collide, Nothing’s gonna make me, break from her side |

Hey I’m with you, let me just get you a light And if we’d thought to listen We might have checked if the weather was right And I don’t mind if you want to drive all day Hey, it’s raining, I should have brought my coat And sometimes I could sell my soul Just to sit and watch you smoke And I don’t mind if you want to break my heart ’Cos you can burn paper You can turn a wheel But you can’t change later Here and now just how good we can feel Hey, stop talking, think I can hear the sea And did I tell you the sound of the surf Makes strange things happen to me And I don’t mind if you want to crash the car ’Cos you turn traitor You can turn on your heels But you can’t change lady Here and now just how good we can feel And hey don’t worry, so that black cat’s some kind of curse ’Cos if bad times are coming up ahead, Just put us in reverse I don’t want to waste time, thinking ’bout it here and now babe Nothing else matters but what we’ve got here and now babe. |

With some girls it don't matter who you hang with
With some girls it don't matter how you talk And some girls they are easy to be yourself with But the one girl that I want, ain't easy to please with what I've got With some girls it don't matter where you're aiming With some girls it don't matter how you act And some girls they don't care what car you came in But the one girl that I want, she wants that one bit of geography I lack Yeah, she don't want me 'cos I'm not where it's at And some girls they will worry about reactions And some girls they don't give a damn for that But somehow I ain't ever in on the action 'Cos the one girl I want, she wants that one little quality I lack Yeah, she don't want me 'cos I'm not where it's at I don't have my finger on the pulse of my generation I just got my hand on my heart, I know no better location |
