When will I be famous?
Yes you're suitably at one With your body and the sun Yes you are Well you've read Karl Marx And you've taught yourself to dance You're the best by far But you keep asking the question One you're not supposed to mention When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I see my picture in the paper? I can't answer, I can't answer that And I can't tell you when You'll see your name up in lights When will I, will I be famous? You keep asking me, babe You're a slave to fashion And your life is full of passion It's the way you are You've suffered for your art With the jogging in the park You know you should go far But you keep asking the question One you're not supposed to mention (I'm not supposed to mention) When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I see my picture in the paper? I can't answer, (I can't wait,) I can't answer that And I can't tell you when You'll see your name up in lights When will I, will I be famous? You keep asking me, babe (I can't wait) You won't suffer in silence You're a talent, you know that I've noticed You'd like to be a legend A big star overnight (Tell me when) I can't answer your question (I can't wait) It's driving me insane And your impossible impatience (impatience) Tearing at my brain I can't take it, take it much more Got too much to hope for When will I When when when when wh-when Will I, will I, will I When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that (What's the point of asking when?) When will I see my picture in the paper? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I, will I be famous? I can't answer, I can't answer that When will I, will I be famous? |

I get down to dry my hair
With a little touch of gel I read all the newspapers But my mother still reads my mail I won't wish my life away but Tell me if you can Who decides when I'm grown up And I've turned into a man Drop the boy drop the boy I'm a man, yes I am But they still call me boy Drop the boy drop the boy I'm a man, yes I am And I'll be jumping for joy When they drop the boy I'm tired of the boy thing I've got other things to do I'd like to be in politics Can't take another visit to the zoo No more bikes or plastic models And braces on my teeth I'd like to drive a dino And to live out of my reach Drop the boy drop the boy I'm a man, yes I am But they still call me boy Drop the boy drop the boy I'm a man, yes I am And I'll be jumping for joy When they drop the boy Drop the boy drop the boy I'm a man, yes I am But they still call me boy Drop the boy drop the boy I'm a man, yes I am And I'll be jumping for joy Drop the boy drop the boy I'm a man, yes I am But they still call me boy Drop the boy drop the boy I'm a man, yes I am And I'll be jumping for joy Drop the boy drop the boy |

Brick walls and windows
Reflect in the light, Fabric so limp hiding the night People almost families Building their nests, God knows it's perfect, Ten out of ten Concrete views and vistas Lining the sky Washing so grey hung out to dry Families almost happy Learning their lines, From crib to cradle, Ten out of ten Ten out of ten Over and over again Back to the future Back to the end Tent poles and canvas Concealing the grass Modern fakers walking on glass New generation they never pretend Well done children, Ten out of ten Ten out of ten Over and over again Back to the future Back to the end Overloaded arks suitable for rain Animals with doubles Biblical but strange It's home on the range. Ten out of ten Over and over again Back to the future Ten out of ten Over and over again Ten out of ten Over and over again Back to the future Back to the end |

Screaming in silence
Fast on her feet Nervously feeling fear on the street. No moving traffic Only the odd wing in the air A shaft of light A strand of hair No time No time to despair. There's a cat among the pigeons There's a pain in her chest While the cat's among the pigeons there'll be no rest. Gasping for breath in the cold of the night Patiently waiting for love at first sight. Yes is the answer But as the wind takes her hair A piston thrust A moment shared No time No time to despair. There's a cat among the pigeons There's a pain in her chest While the cat's among the pigeons he'll take the best. And the world keeps turning And the boy keeps learning Who will be the one to put the cat among the pigeons now ? There's a cat among the pigeons There's a pain in her chest While the cat's among the pigeons there'll be no rest. There's a cat among the pigeons There's a pain in her chest While the cat's among the pigeons he'll take the best. There's a cat among the pigeons ! |

All day long you're talking,
Words escaping from your head, Not a truthful sentence, Lady ? this must be said. Basically you're a liar, A teller of untruths, Every reason not to trust you, And this is telling you the truth. You're a liar, yes you are, yes you are, A born liar, You're a liar, yes you are, yes you are, Such a liar And it's all wrong, (why do you do it?) I won't go along (what's the use) With your lies, lies, lies, lies You look at people so sweetly, Though you're lying through your teeth, You can't tell fact from fiction From all that crap you preach. Something about your presence, That devil in your eyes, Whiter than white smiling, Concealing so many lies. You're a liar, yes you are, yes you are, A born liar. You're a liar, yes you are, yes you are (why do you do it?) |

You're talking candy from the jar
You spin the lid Which one first? Desert of temptation What soda will quench this thirst? Don't wonna be left behind The grass is always greener on the other side So don't you treat me like the first Chocolate in the box I know you'll take another What you want is a looker Not a lover in the box 'Cause I know you'll take another What you want is a looker Not a lover I've discovered You want your cake and eat it with a silver spoon in your hand Don't give me that innocent girl thing 'Cause I'll close the door with a slam Don't want to be left behind Chocolate in the box I know you'll take another Chocolate in the box I know you'll take another Chocolate in the box I know you'll take another Chocolate in the box I know you'll take another |

Most of my friends were strangers when I met them
Familitary breeds contempt. Well I'm better alone that in company So get out and stay out of my life. I'm at the point I'm at the point where I quit. I've had enough I've had it right up to here now I'm taking a break well I quit yeah I said I quit yeah! With this view and that new opinion when I see them I don't need another pain in the neck. Well nobody listens to losers So when you're surrounded by fools Who needs another who needs another clever dick. I've had enough I've had it right up to here now I'm takin a break I quit. I've had it right up to here now I'm taking a break I quit I quit. I quit yeah I've had enough ... |

Alone is now
Then was together I have only memories That make me feel better Time alone is my only drug Ill never forget my sister She was torn between two worlds Of a city and a suburb Were her shouts of anger And frustration ever heard But she ?. (CHORUS) Didn't get out in time no She didn't no she didn't Get out in time Was the future blind Sister, oh sister You're on our minds A city girl A future to find Frozen footsteps so cold Back in time A big mistake a wrong move The lord moves in mysterious ways She was torn between two worlds Of a city and a suburb Were her shouts of anger And frustration ever heard But she ?. (CHORUS) |

Three o'clock in the morning
As my day is dawning The early bird is singing I should be sleeping now Can you see it in my eyes I bet it comes as no surprise to you And you know my heart is yearning For your love [Chorus] Are you mine, are you mine We will stand the test of time Are you the one and only girl Darkness of no-man's land is close at hand A perfect pair of love's declared (No protection= from my lovin' I have thrown away my pride I just can't be denied no more I can feel my world rotating (gyrating) Are you mine [Chorus] Distance makes the heart grow fonder There are the words that make time take longer Out of sight out of mind You know there are the words that blow my mind Distance makes make our love much stronger My lonely nights make my memories fonder Out of sight out of mind You know these are the words that blow my mind You know they shatter into love, into love [Chorus] ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By POWELL, PAUL/GOSS, MATTHEW/GOSS, LUKE <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

Watch the days go by here
It's getting to won't come through My friends left me for someone new And I am still left just confused ? but some things just won't come out right I started not to try Someone please remind me I'll trust ? true sometimes In the end we'll all just feel dumb And now I'm stuck in this I'm so bored Nothing's ever worth it Watch it all go by And I'll wait for you to smile And I'll be gone before you wake up |
