(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 |

In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take Takes me further from heaven Is there a heaven? I`d like to think so Standards of living They're rising daily But home oh sweet home It's only a saying From bell push to faucet In smart town apartment The cottage is pretty The main house a palace Penthouse perfection But what goes on What to do there Better pray there Open plan living Bungalow ranch style All of its comforts Seem so essential I bought you mail order My plain wrapper baby Your skin is like vinyl The perfect companion You float my new pool Deluxe and delightful Inflatable doll My role is to serve you Disposable darling Can't throw you away now Immortal and life size My breath is inside you I'll dress you up daily And keep you till death sighs Inflatable doll Lover ungrateful I blew up your body But you blew my mind Oh heartache, dream home heartache Oh heartache, dream home heartache Oh heartache, dream home heartache Oh heartache, dream home heartache |

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> |

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 |

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? |

Oh here it comes again That old ennui I hope it won't stay long Well it's every-man to his own thing And every singer to his song If you're feeling low And all upset Nothing's going right You just make a wish Like in a fairy tale And I'll bewitch you If it takes all night There are many things That I could say To try and comfort you But I know the words you'd like to hear Are simply "I love you" Sometimes I'm up Sometimes I'm down A topsy-turvy life But only searching For the truth And I'll find it If it takes all night long Well I myself May main concern Is what I can afford So if music be my mistress Then at least she's Madame Claude...d'accord Ah - more champagne! To lose this pain Would be very nice So I'll help myself to one more drink And I'll find myself If it takes all night long |

Well I'm here looking through an old picture frame Just waiting for the perfect view I hope something special will step in to my life Another fine edition of you A pin-up done in shades of blue Sometimes you find a yearning for the quiet life The country air and all its joys But badgers couldn't compensate at twice the price For just another night with the boys oh yeah And boys will be boys, will be boys They say love's a gamble, hard to win, easy lose And while sun shines you'd better make hay So if life is your table and fate is the wheel Then let the chips fall where they may In modern times the modern way And as I was drifting past the Lorelei I heard those slinky sirens wail - whooo So look out sailor when you hear them croon You'll never been the same again oh no Their crazy music drives you insane - this way So love, leave me. do what you will -Who knows what tomorrow might bring' Learn from your mistakes is my only advice And stay cool is still the main rule Don't play yourself for a fool Too much cheesecake too soon Old money's better than new No mention in the latest Tribune And don't let this happen to you |
