Tears for souvenirs
Tears are not enough Tears for shields and spears Tears are not enough Searching for certainty When it's such an unstable world Searching for something good And I'm looking for the real McCoy Blueprint: That says that boy meets girl Picture: Girl meets boy A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl Picture in a magazine Yes you've shown your feelings Yes you've shown you're tough Said things worth believing Tears are not enough Slam that door, slap my face I don't love you anymore Dry your eyes Sink or swim You surmise you can't win We all make great mistakes Would I lie Should I lie Could I lie to you? Excuses had their uses But now they're all used up, all used up Yes you've shown your feelings Yes you've shown you're tough Said things worth believing Tears are not enough Tears for souvenirs Tears are not enough Tears for shields and spears Tears are not enough |

Debonair lullabies
In melodies revealed In deep despair on lonely nights He knows just how you feel The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits In miracles made real Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night You know you're right just to hold her tight He soothes it right, makes it out of sight And everything's good in the world tonight When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings The front door might slam But the back door it rings And Smokey sings, he sings Elegance in eloquence For sale or rent or hire Should I say yes and match his best Then I would be a liar Symphonies that soothe the rage When lovers' hearts catch fire Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night You know you're right just to hold her tight He soothes it right, makes it out of sight And everything's good in the world tonight When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings Smashing the hell With the heaven she brings Then Smokey sings, he sings (Would it be true to say) Luther croons Sly's the original originator James screams Marvin was the only innovator But nothing can compare Nothing can compare When Smokey sings When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings She threw back the ring When Smokey sings Smokey sings Smokey sings |

From an early age
I was taught to respect That a broken heart girl Ain't a thing you collect Close your eyes and say Nothing lasts a day You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you Close your eyes and say Honour love obey You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you. It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love. January...February...March and April May June July sees you go by I see love walk away. Didn't use a blade... A bullet or a gun You poisoned the moonlight When you put out the Sun It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love |

If I were to say to you
"Can you keep a secret?" Would you know just what to do Or where to keep it? Then I say, "I love you" And foul the situation Hey, girl, I thought we were The right combination Who broke my heart? You did, you did Bow to the target Blame Cupid, Cupid You think you're smart Stupid, stupid Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow No rhythm in cymbals No tempo in drums Love on arrival She comes when she comes Right on the target But wide of the mark What I thought was fire Was only the spark The sweetest melody Is an unheard refrain So lower your sights Yeah but raise your aim Raise your aim Who broke my heart? You did, you did Bow to the target Blame Cupid, Cupid You think you're smart Stupid, stupid Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow I thought you loved me But it seems you don't care I care enough to know I can never love you Who broke my heart? You did, you did Bow to the target Blame Cupid You think you're smart That's stupid Right from the start When you knew we would part Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow |

Was it rage or regret
Or the love I was feeling In this age - who's perfect... are you? Wasn't made to forget This moment worth stealing Was it rage or regret or the two Every morning when I wake up Wake up dreaming then... wake up dreaming Build a temple from you fragrance Build a chapel in your heart Do you really understand Do you feel the need to try Do you even care for me Do you ever wonder why Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret Through the violence the angry silence Does our love grow strong or die A parachute or a pilot's licence Do we fall in love or fly Do you really understand Do you feel the need to try Do you even care for me Do you ever wonder why Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret The harder we come The harder we fall The harder it is to stand tall The more that we fight The more that we brawl The more we're alike - that's all... that's all Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get There are things you don't forget Anger cools to idle threats |

When your world is full of strange arrangements
And gravity won't pull you through You know you're missing out on something Well that something depends on you All I'm saying, it takes a lot to love you All I'm doing, you know it's true All I mean now, there's one thing Yes one thing that turns this grey sky to blue That's the look, that's the look The look of love When your girl has left you out on the pavement (Goodbye) Then your dreams fall apart at the seams Your reason for living's your reason for leaving Don't ask me what it means Who's got the look? I don't know the answer to that question Where's the look? If I knew I would tell you What's the look? Look for your information Yes there's one thing, the one thing that still holds true (What's that?) That's the look, that's the look The look of love If you judge a book by the cover Then you'd judge the look by the lover I hope you'll soon recover Me I go from one extreme to another And though my friends just might ask me They say "Martin maybe one day you'll find true love" I say "Maybe, there must be a solution To the one thing, the one thing, we can't find" That's the look, that's the look The look of love That's the look, that's the look The look of love That's the look, that's the look The Look of love |

When the postman don't call on Valentine's day
And Santa Claus don't come on a Christmas Day That umbrella won't work on a rainy day Don't ask me, I already know When they find you beached on the barrier reef And the only pleasure treasured is in map relief The choice is yours, sure, saint or thief Don't ask me I already know When they baked your cake in little slices, Kept your eyes on rising prices, Wound up winning booby prizes; I'm sure you'd like to think you know what life is Find destiny through magazines Liplicking, unzipping Harpers and Queens From here to eternity, Without in-betweens, Don't ask me, I already know With your heart on parade and your heart on parole I hope you find a sucker to buy that mink stole School for scandal, Guess who's enrolled? So ask me, I already know When they find you beached on the barrier reef When the postman don't call on Valentine's Day When the only pleasure treasured is in map relief When you don't tell the truth, that's the price you pay When I'm shaking a hand, I'm clenching a fist If you gave me a pound for the moments I missed And I got dancing lessons for all the lips I shoulda kissed I'd be a millionaire I'd be a Fred Astaire |

Why make the past your sacred cow?
I guess you've changed, you've changed and how Yeah, yeah, yeah Fruit's grown rotten on the bough Reap what you sow, with a counterfeit plough Yeah, yeah, yeah That was then but this is now More sacrifices than an Aztec priest Standing here straining at that leash All fall down Can't complain, musn't grumble Help yourself to another peace of apple crumble And consequently: Hearts of oak are charged and blistered Russians should be baby-sitted Americans enlisted That was then but this is now That was then but this is now That was then but this is now |

A mongoose can smile at a cobra
But that cobra will always be a snake Diamante can shine like a diamond But you know, like I know That rock will be fake It's the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It's real You can xerox the Mona Lisa Deadpan Da Vinci in every detail Might beat customs on a home-made visa But false papers Only gets you in jail It's the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It's real Life wears a smile on its face But it comes with a sting in its tail Make believe fables have their place But only a fool. Only a fool Believes fairy tales I heard all the lies that they tell ya "Phone me baby. The cheque's in the mail" Well as fantasy. It may please ya As the real thing It does nothing but fail It's the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It's real It's the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It's real |

Cock a snoot,
Loop the loop, Hock the hula-hoop, But now it yo-yo'd back again Shiver me timbers, Just jumped ship with a little faith We could win the championship Parachute substitute, problem is it's soooo cute Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt Outta house, outta home, outta pocket They persuade you, That they made you then betrayed you And they blame you with the power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion You bought the troll, You bought the gonk, You took it home, and put it on a pedestal We needed a saviour, But from it's behaviour Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial? Tax deductible. cash corruptible, Never the less another poolswinner Penniless dog tooth check, Cash and carry find a girl, Settle down and marry They persuade you, That they made you The proclaim, And they'll maim you with the power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion I sold the eskimo snow Build the skyline outta playdo Persuading you that monochrome is dayglo With the power of persuasion |

Sun beats hard
On Sunset Boulevard Much harder still In Notting Hill A northwind blows And carries me home Carries my heart, carries my soul When cool silks they turn to suede When young dreams are torn and frayed The South feels so cold and grey Today! Today the North's too many miles away Today! Today I got to get away I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged It's all gone silent The light begins to fade One man unplugs The penny arcade And carries me home Carries my heart, carries my soul I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged One sweet bouquet The flowers strewn The petals scattered Here in the North No dreams are shattered I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged No we don't feel angry No we don't feel betrayed Unlike our fathers We don't remember better days No we don't feel angry No we don't feel betrayed We just live In this day and age |

Here they come,
Slumming their way outta the ja'causezi, Well, I've lived in a slum, sugar plum, Hit and run And it did not amuse me There they go, Moving around on the radio, Well I've been on that show, Reap and sow, feed and grow And it did not amuse me Hey citizen! hey american! Hey russian! hey citizen! Beauty stab, When the good things in life Have all grown bad, The cat's out the bag Smash and grab, burn the flag And didn't it fool me throw it out, It's not worth the paper it's written on No ifs and buts, Spending cuts, cheaper smut, They say they could use me All through summer, There's no glamour in the slammer, No glamour in the slammer, Until you make a run All through summer, the splendours Pretty slender The splendours pretty slender Until you make a run Here they come, Slumming their way out of the ja'causezi, Well I've lived in a slum, sugar plum, Hit and run and it did not amuse me There they go, Grooving around on the radio Well I've been on that show, reap and sow Feed and grow, and it didn't amuse me Hey villager! hey citizen! Hey countryman! hey, now listen! Hey chinaman! hey european! Hey russian! hey american! Hey cowboy! hey indian! Hey anyway! hey, hey, hey citizen! |

So here we are drifting on an open sea
So here we are for all we know But then again we know For all we know, you know, you know With all the power that I possess Let's match their money with our own finesse Why should we ever have to settle for less? Why does this message always have to be... S.O.S. S.O.S. S.O.S. One cool million for one cool caress So here we are still drifting on an open sea So here we are for all we know But then again we know For all we know, you know, you know With all the power that I possess Let's match their money with our own finesse Why should we ever have to settle for less? Why does this message always have to be... S.O.S. S.O.S. S.O.S. One cool million for one so possessed |

I had dreams and crazy schemes
Never felt this way before I had days when I god raged Never felt like this before Endless nights that end in flights Now I feel love Never. Never. Never more than now Never. Never. Never more than now Never more than now Paralysed by vicious lies Never felt this way before Seen hope die and grown men cry Never felt like this before Shed lonely tears and heartfelt fears Now I feel love Never. Never. Never more than now Never. Never. Never more than now A thing of beauty Lasts forever Stretches through all time Every endeavour No matter how hard They might try To build you up And to bleed you dry Never lose love. Never Never lose love. Never Ever, ever, ever Never. Never. Never more than now Never. Never. Never more than now |

Rick and wealthy canvas
Clustered up in jewels Finding all your heavyweights Are featherweights and fools Broken all your promises Broken all your paper plates Clustered in gold Crusted in gold Heavy and hollow Look at the shape we're in Find us here Paper thin Heavy and humble Look at the shape we're in Find us here Paper thin In origami cities In nations built on sand Love got bent right outta shape Things got outta hand Polystyrene skylines Papier mache smiles Rusted and bruised Tarnished and frail Heavy and hollow Look at the shape we're in Find us here Paper thin Heavy and humble Look at the shape we're in Find us here Paper thin, paper thin, paper thin... Stars scrape the moon And the moon scrapes the sky We stand beneath Wondering why Stars scrape the moon And the moon scrapes the sky We stand beneath Wondering why, wondering why Paper buys the men The men that make to bomb The bomb that makes this world Paper thin! Money markets crumble Gentle as a drum But if you see me stumble, I'm Paper thin! Life is but a fragile thing So delicate and pure An accolade bestowed on us Paper thin So contemplate the skull The skull beneath the skin One day we all die, we're Paper thin! Bury your destruction In your last battle hymn The barriers between us, make 'em all Paper thin! Paper thin! Paper thin! Paper thin! Underneath the paper moon The sky is paper thin Torn into a thousand shreds So let the solar system in Rick and wealthy canvas Clustered up in jewels Finding all your heavyweights Are featherweights and fools In origami cities In nations built on sand Love got bent right outta shape Nothing ends as planned And it's all - Paper thin Paper thin. Paper thin |

Politician puppets a-preaching in high high place
Trying to hide the fear written on their faces Facing a future Liquidating hope Freezing the fire Your dreams go up in smoke Carry the weight of this world You're gonna do more harm than good You're gonna lose yourself in responsibility Don't blame your heart Don't blame your soul Don't blame your lack of self control Lay the blame on me Don't blame the sun Don't blame the sky Blame yourself and I'll ask why Lay the blame on me Bossa Nova bandits thieves and self proclaimers Leading a life of crime designed to entertain us The poor and the needy The rich and the privileged Opening up a great divide When all we needs a bridge Carry the weight of this world You're gonna do more harm than good You're gonna lose yourself in responsibility Don't blame your heart Don't blame your soul Don't blame your lack of self control Lay the blame on me Don't blame the sun Don't blame the sky Blame yourself and I'll ask why Lay the blame on me Carry the weight of this world You're gonna do more harm than good You're gonna lose yourself in responsibility Don't blame your heart Don't blame your soul Don't blame your lack of self control Lay the blame on me Don't blame the sun Don't blame the sky Blame yourself and I'll ask why Lay the blame on me Don't blame your heart Don't blame your soul Don't blame your lack of self control Lay the blame on me |

It'll never happen until you remove
Until you flatten your 10-20-30-40-15 storey halo Bottle blondes and beach boys Might marvel at the size But honey something that big You now the best don't advertise Has no-one ever told you You gotta body build to last? But with that 15 storey deadstop You're going nowhere, and fast 10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo! 10-20-30-40! 15 storeys high! 10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo 10-20-30-40? 7 miles wide 7 miles wide! "Ask a judge and jury Joe find me 12 just men We're gonna bottle up their fury Make sure don't happen again" All the rebel boys got payrolled Now they're queuing outside the bank Like 14 carat playboys On a trans-cool trans-world tramp 10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo! 10-20-30-40! 15 storeys high! 10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo 10-20-30-40? 7 miles wide 7 miles wide! And so you meet this guy A regular gala-had A real house-trained barbarian And so you drop him Like a bad habit But anything that comes along You grab it Oh we're all waiting For a saving grace Hands that soothe Hands that smoothe the human race Yes we're all waiting For a saving grace Hands that soothe Hands that smoothe the human race |

Well you took me home
And you took me back But deep down inside The feeling just died and I... Couldn't see why From indigo to royal blue I travel far but no one will do Anytime, anyplace Every shape every face brings... Memories of you Blue to be blue To be blue Ocean blue Fair weather friends might drift away When summer ends and skies burn grey So I walk to the ocean - Pilot these shores. Just... Thinking of you It's time we kissed the clouds goodbye From now on in, it's strictly blue sky Come rain and shine The outlook is still fine... I'm Thinking of you Blue to be blue To be blue Ocean blue I stand at the head of the queue There's mutiny's every crew Wishin' and wonderin' 'bout you - Ocean blue |
