Your nose is runnin'
And your eyes are red Your head is achin' You'd be better in bed From the bottom of your fever To the throbbing in your toes You've got a cold You've got a cold You're searching madly To find a cure But the mercury's rising To a hundred and four You've got a beauty, a bad ass The mother of them all You've got a cold You've got a cold Ain't no use in fightin' it Get into bed and try to sweat it out Hot toddies won't help you Warm blankets won't sweat it out Inhalants just choke you Hot flushes will tell you Anyway you've got it Ain't no doubt about it Nothin' new about You can scream and shout it Hot toddies won't help you Warm blankets won't sweat it out Inhalants just choke you Hot flushes will tell you Anyway you've got it Ain't no doubt about it Nothin' new about You can't fight it Foreign bodies in your Kleenex You've got no taste at all While your system is dyin' The bugs are havin' a ball You've got a beauty, a bad ass The mother of them all You've got a cold You've got a cold |

Inside my loneliness and sorting through the mess
I came across a bunch of snaps and letters I found an eight by ten, taken God knows when It took me back to when we found each other How did I let it start If I could only remember Oh, Oh, why did I break your heart The tender parts we played I thought we had it made The recipe for life, the perfect fusion But when the love turned sour I found the happy hour But drinking for the world is no solution How did I let it start If I could only remember Oh, Oh, why did I break your heart Can't we go back to the start I needed someone to tell me Why did I break your heart The cost of loving is a heavy burden Somebody's gotta take the strain The things we said would make a cover story But who's gonna say Who should take all the blame We analysed ourselves It didn't really help No one to referee, no rhyme no reason I thought we had the best But when you flew the nest My heart decided it was open season How did I let it start If I could only remember Oh, Oh, why did I break your heart Can't we go back to the start I needed someone to tell me Oh, Oh, why did I break your heart Why did I break your heart. |

You're through gestation so welcome to the world We've still got vacancies just waiting to be filled We're still delivering ten thousand souls a day And disproportionately packing them away The starving of the multitudes and the feeding of the few We're only humanoid there's nothing we can do You must do something or we'll all go up in smoke We'd like to help but we're afraid of losing votes They never listen to you They never listen to your cries We're not progressing we're only marking time You're on your own Think of your children Think of your children Are they welcome to the world? If every Chinaman jumped up and down in sync Then California would be sucked into the drink You've all got bodies and a few of you got minds We'd like to juse them but we never get the time Though man's achievements are a credit to us all How come we're stading with our backs against the wall? One thousand congressmen assemble every day They'll send us packing on a dreadlock holiday They'll never listen to you They'll never listen to your cries They'll keep on talking and wasting precious time You're on your own Think of your children Think of your children Look to your children They're only children Are they welcome to the world |

It's one thing to know it but another to admit
We're the worst band in the world But we don't give a.... If Garbo played guitar with Valentino on the drums Then we'd be nothing more than a bunch of darma bums So tune up, tune up Well we've never done a days work in our life And our records sell in zillions It irrigates my heart with greed To know that you adore me Up yours, up mine But up everybody's that takes time - But we're working on it Working on it (Ooh) We never seen the van - leave it to the roadies - Never met the roadies - leave them in the van All because of circumstances way beyond control We became the darlings of this thing called rock and roll, ooh Here I am a record on a jukebox A little piece of plastic with a hole, ooh Play me Buy me and you play me then my plastic turns to gold Here we are together on your hi fi A little piece of plastic with a hole, oh Fade me, fade me, fade me, fade me..... |

Do the Wall Street shuffle
Hear the money rustle Watch the greenbacks tumble Feel the Sterling crumble You need a yen to make a mark If you wanna make money You need the luck to make a buck If you wanna be Getty, Rothschild You've gotta be cool on Wall Street You've gotta be cool on Wall Street When your index is low Dow Jones ain't got time for the bums They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime But you ain't got the time Doin' the....

Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea, You lay your bets and then you pay the price The things we do for love, the things we do for love. Communication is the problem to the answer You've got her number and your hand is on the phone The weather's turned and all the lines are down The things we do for love, the things we do for love. Like walking in the rain and the snow When there's nowhere to go And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying And you're looking for the answer in her eyes. You think you're gonna break up Then she says she wants to make up. Ooh you made me love you Ooh you've got a way Ooh you had me crawling up the wall. Like walking in the rain and the snow When there's nowhere to go And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying And you're looking for the answer in her eyes. You think you're gonna break up Then she says she wants to make up. Ooh you made me love you Ooh you've got a way Ooh you had me crawling up the wall. A compromise would surely help the situation Agree to disagree but disagree to part When after all it's just a compromise of The things we do for love, the things we do for love.... |

Another fish head in the dustbin
Another loser in the queue for the soup kitchen Another reason for a visit We think you'd better come down Another nigger on the woodpile Another honky on the dole Another trip from off the 15th floor The greatest story ever told Was so wrong, so wrong 'Cos you promised milk and honey With an everlasting life And we listened with our ears closed And a blindness in our eyes But we heard them as they nailed you And we saw you crucified The second coming of the Holy Ghost We need a pocketful of miracles Two thousand years and he ain't shown yet We kept his seat warm and the table set The second sitting for the Last Supper Another Guru in the money Another mantra in the mail An easy way from rags to riches God's little acre's up for sale The time is right for ressurection We think you'd better come down The church don't ring with hallelujahs You haven't been for so long So long, so long Two thousand years and he ain't shown yet We kept his seat warm and the table set The second sitting for the Last Supper |

Here's a new dance that you all can do
Baby, baby, what's he gonna do? Sit back and relax 'cos it's good for you Baby, baby, what's he gonna do? what's he gonna say? He's takin' my breath away Well if you're tired of doing the Boogaloo And you're afraid of doing the Swim 'Cos you think you will drown In the noise of the record And the klutz on the floor He ain't there anymore 'Cos all you wanna do Is be alone at the bar All you wanna do is be alone at the bar You wanna drown in your cocktail You wanna leave with the laundry If your mind is trippin' But your disc is slippin' Here's what you gotta do - Nothing In any tempo and any rhythm C'mon Mac do the sacro-iliac C'mon back do the sacro-iliac I said c'mon back do the sacro-iliac Well it's easy Here's the new dance that you 'll wanna do So easy Don't want to annoy ya with my paranoia Now I'm doing the dance that is good for me Baby, baby, what's it gonna be? I ain't no Astaire, but I've a right to be Baby, baby, when's he gonna learn? Where's he gonna stay? He's taken my breath away Well I'm bored with the beat of the Shing-a-ling And the Lindy is leaving me cold 'Cos I've never been freaky or funky or laid back And the lush on the floor Isn't me anymore And I never ever wanna be alone At the bar Never ever wanna be alone at the bar So C'mon Mac do the sacro-iliac C'mon back do the sacro-iliac Won't you c'mon back do the sacro-iliac C'mon back do the sacro-iliac Won't you come on back do the sacro-iliac |

He's taken my breath away Well I'm bored with the beat of the Shing-a-ling And the Lindy is leaving me cold 'Cos I've never been freaky or funky or laid back And the lush on the floor Isn't me anymore And I never ever wanna be alone At the bar Never ever wanna be alone at the bar So C'mon Mac do the sacro-iliac C'mon back do the sacro-iliac Won't you c'mon back do the sacro-iliac C'mon back do the sacro-iliac Won't you come on back do the sacro-iliac |

Nobody sends me birthday cards
Nobody brings me flowers I'm just here for operations I've been out for hours When I come to I'll wet my bed 'Cause when I get mad I sink so low As matron knows I get off on what you give me, darling I get off on what you give to me Yeah, I get off on what you give me, darling I get off on what you give to me And when I go to that seedy ward up in the sky You'll be waiting with a hypodermic needle and a graph Here comes the dark (I'm grateful for my anaesthetic) Out goes the spark (Delirious and apathetic) When I come to I'll wet my bed And when I get well I'll take revenge I'll wreak my wrath On all blood donors and their sisters Visiting time and flowers When sister brings that bedpan 'round I'll piss like April showers I get off on what you give me, darling I get off on what you give to me Yeah, I get off on what you give me, darling I get off on what you give to me (Repeat) And when I go I'll die of plaster casting love |

Hum drum days
And a hum drum ways Hey kids, let me tell you how I met your mom We were dancin' and romancin' at the Senior Prom It was no infatuation But a gradual graduation From a boy to a man Let me tell you while I can The soda pop came free Hey Sis, one kiss, and I was heaven bound Now who would have guessed Milton's paradise lost could be found But in the eyes of the Dean, his daughter Was doin' what she shouldn'a oughta But a man's gotta do What a man's gotta do The consequence should be Church bells, three swells The Dean, his daughter and me They were dating in the park They were smooching in the dark Of a doorway for two She whispered "I love you - Ooh, you know I never felt this way before Ooh, you know the elevator in my heart Has gone awol, awol, awol, awol" And then I kissed her And when I kissed her It's a wonderful world When you're rolling in kisses Now, the paint is peeling (Hum drum days and hum drum ways) Now, and when the chips are down (Hum drum days and hum drum ways) Now, you kinda lose all feeling (Hum drum days and hum drum ways) Now, your head goes round and round (Hum drum days and hum drum ways) Round and round and round and round and round I'm throwing myself off this train Hum drum days And a hum drum ways Hum drum days, he's got Hum drum ways, oh boy Hey, you know I'm really earning now My ship came in with a cargo of dollars My name's lit up on the prow It's a wonderful world When you're rolling in dollars Now! |

I found myself on my knees in prayer
The consequence of my deep despair Now I must speak, get it off my chest It ain't no joke and it ain't no jest Every night she would come to me But her demands brought disharmony I said, "You can't bring your drums to bed, Your rhythm method's gonna leave me dead." Got to take this woman Cos she's a whole lotta woman Why don't you take this woman Take this woman lock her away It would be churlish of me to complain But caviar every night is insane I'm fit to burst, I'm not in the mood But she say, "Lie down babe, I wanna talk to you." Well I'm not fond of your family ties The hangman's noose in your mother's eyes You chatterbox like a talking head Je ne comprends pas the words that you said Take this woman Cos she's a whole lotta woman Why don't you take this woman Take this woman lock her away Don't want to love you I really tried But I'm hook line and sinkered deeply fried I've got to admit that with all your faults We touch and it feels like a million volts Listen - I realised I'd made a big mistake I'm only human for heaven's sake Lord give me strength don't let me falter I'm gonna take her to the alter And I'll take this woman Cos she's a whole lotta woman I'm gonna take this woman Take this woman lock her away I'm gonna take this woman Cos she's a whole lotta woman I'm gonna take this woman Take this woman lock her away Woh, yeah |

Baby baby oh baby I'd love to love you But my hands are tied Break these chains Oh oh these chains that are killing me You don't need money if you've got love We've got each other and its more than enough Break these chains Oh oh these chains that are holding me Ooh ooh my love It's all too much for me to take Take these chains Take these chains She never thought that I could live without her All the little things she used to do Then I fell in love with you You found me You took me in When no one wanted me Making love on a sandy beach The stars above us and we're clean out of reach Of my chains oh oh the chains that were killing me And you make everything a paradise And paradise with you is twice as nice Never change, never change what you're doing to me |

Down on the casting couch
A star is gonna be born A star with the stature of a Harlow Who's doomed And groomed to enrapture All her co-stars, and stuntmen, the co-stars Oh, let there be lights, action, sound Lights, action, sound - Roll 'em! Out in the mezzanine On the arm of a dumb marine Her beauty looks out like a trailer Norman Mailer Waits to nail her He's under the bed And he's waiting for her to be dead He's out on the patio With his polaroid and scenario And he's armed and he's dangerously.... Close was the weather When I was a kid She gave me a feather from her gown To cool me down, to cool me down And I was the galley slave Who lost his heart when the ship went down Lights, action, sound Roll 'em I had a part in the talkies When you were a little girl I've taken Lassie for walkies When she was the pup that Vaudeville threw up And destiny lead her Hand in paw to somewhere In Hollywood That's crazy, a dog up in Beverly Hills Crazy, crazy La, la, la, la, la....

I was travelling home on the subway
When this vision got on at Maida Vale And as I casually eyed the classifieds She sat down next to me Every head in the carriage was wondering I replied with a smile on my face And as I slipped into the arms of Morpheus To daydream the rest of the way She was a smooth operator You could see it in her dress I said I'd like to see you later But I didn't want to press I was homing like a scanner Did a mental strip tease But she knew that she was special And she came on like a tease Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love Not looking for tenderness Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love She was a headstrong woman With a demon in her blood Through the window in her eyes I saw fire in her soul And I knew if I pursued it My fingers would be burned Like a moth round a candle I was momentarily stunned Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love Not looking for tenderness Don't want love Just looking for happiness Don't want love The carriage was spinning We were up on the floor She was whirling like a dervish I was whirling like a fool My reactions were dimming Like an alcoholic haze I could hear people clapping I was stumbling in a daze I was stumbling in a daze My eyes tried to focus I was suddenly aware She was newborn naked I was altogether bare There were shouts all around us There were clothes on the floor As I tried to find my senses I was sliding down the door Down a coal black tunnel I was slipping away Then I felt |

"Trust in me - God will come to set you free" Well we don't understand Why you called in the National Guard When Uncle Sam is the one Who belongs in the exercise yard We all got balls and brains But some's got balls and chains At the local dance at the local county jail Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets Is it really such a crime For a guy to spend his time At the local dance at the local county jail At the local dance at the local county jail Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do |

With a rock 'n' roll lullaby Close your eyes and don't you peep This is a rock 'n' roll lullaby Sandman's gonna get you Snuggle down your sleepy head It's gettin' late the Sandman said Your dreams are waiting It's daybreak in the land of nod So get to sleep you little sod Your dreams are waiting And if you get a nightmare Would you go and shake your Ma Cause your Daddy's been a workin' all day And if you go and get a glass of water by yourself You can show us that you're older than you are Show us that you're older The Sandman's gonna get you Well you're too small to understand You're living in a wonderland Your dreams are waitin' If only we could be there too And dream a dream along with you Your dreams are waitin' Careful that you don't get out the wrong side of the cot Are you gonna be an angel or a devil You're too small to reason what is right and what is wrong Childhood dreams are gone too fast There's no way we can make them last We'll always love you anyway Any way you are Any way you are |

There's a fat man who offers a change of scene Says he'll guarantee my sheet will be clean When I get on the outside But who can you trust when the walls have ears I'm for takin' a chance, like a drownin' man I'm going under I've got reds in my bed I'm not easily led to the slaughter And while the cold war exists I'll stay warm with the commisar's daughter We could meet at the zoo where the tiger roams In a prison of steel He reminds me so much of the way I feel And we know that we're both in the danger zone Where the eyes of the world Full of shutters and bugs are upon us now I've got reds in my bed I get blues looking out of my window And we're never alone, there's a tap on the phone And my pillow Let me go home (There's a girl in a distant land) Let me go home (Who's nothing more than a memory) She don't know that I'm gonna be free Let me go home (You're a land full of misery) Let me go home (You're a cruel and a faceless race) I don't like your philosophy I don't like your philosophy The connections are made and the time is right So my body is walled in the shell of a car in the dead of night And I laugh through the pain and the agony As they cut me away to be born again back to humanity You've got reds in your bed There's a man lookin' over your shoulder But don't you give him your mind It's too late when you find that it's over You! Let me go home (You're a land full of misery) Let me go home (You're nothing more than a memory) I don't like your philosophy Let me go home (You're a cruel and a faceless race) Let me go home (You're nothing more than a memory) I don't like your philosophy |

On the street below these walls
Where I used to walk Now I can barely crawl All this darkness rising tall Lord shine a light for me I'm waiting to be called I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin Take this river to the sea Where the Delta flows The tide is washing over me Guide this soul to Heaven's door Show me where tomorrow lies I'm waiting to be born I'm ready to lay down I'm ready now to sleep A promise I must keep I'm ready to go home So tired I lay down With these memories Breathe shallow deep inside of me If time has run its course with me Then I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin When the evening shadows fall When the time has come I'll let defences fall To surrender's to survive I will give up everything To those I leave behind I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin I'm ready to lay down I'm ready now to sleep A promise I must keep I'm ready to go home Again |

Thank you for the gift
The freedom to wonder In search of the light Are we gonna let it shine Forgiveness is the key The perfect emotion Will you show us the way To peace in our time Where the wild wind blows The deserts are shiftin' And the seed will grow In the sands of time From the darkest night A new day is dawning It's a long long way To peace in our time Tell me where can we find Peace in our - in our time Where can we find Peace in our time From a distant shore Voices are crying Can you hear them call Are we gonna light their way Salvation is the key We have to keep tryin' What we need right now Peace in our time Tell me where can we find Peace in our - in our time Where can we find Peace in our time Thank you for the chance To light up the darkness Leading the way Show us to the promised land Tear down these walls That keep us imprisoned What we're prayin' for Is peace in our time Tell me where can we find Peace in our - in our time Where can we find Peace in our time |

They are in deepest water Where are they now? They are over the hill and far away But they are broken men who lie low Waiting for miracles Old men of rock and roll Came bearing music Where are they now? They are over the hill and far away But they're still gonna play guitars On dead strings, and old drums They'll play and play to pass the time The old wild men Old wild men Old wild men, waiting for miracles Lord have mercy upon the many Lord have mercy upon the few Lord have mercy upon the many Lord have mercy on me and on you |

He looked funny The children called him the scarecrow An old raincoat And baggy trousers and sneakers he found at the dump Oh, but if you bothered to look There was something behind the rags Oh there was a look in his eyes It was something you'd never forget He lived badly A broken shack on the railway An old moggy The only one who replied When he talked to the walls Oh we didn't understand We were fooled by the dirt on his face Oh we were human then We were searching behind his disgrace Why don't you leave me alone Why don't you go to your homes Why don't you keep to yourselves I'm tellin you Why don't you leave me alone You're never gonna realise When all you do is criticise You're never gonna make it work You never seem to get enough You crumble when its getting rough You're never gonna make it work I'm tellin' you there'll come a day You're gonna blow yourselves away It's wrong that I should interfere I just get in the way Why don't you leave me alone Why don't you go to your homes Why don't you keep to yourselves I'm tellin you Why don't you leave me alone Deep into the night He was working by the light of the candle by his bed on the theory in his head He was building from the junk that he rescued from the dump And when he turned the power on There was a sound and he was gone Oh in the gray of the dawn We discovered the thing he was working on Oh we didn't understand The future was Old Mister Time Future was Old Mister Time Future was Old Mister Time Future was Old Mister Time Old Mister Time (Mister Time, Mister Time....)

In the middle of a caravan
On a four wheel drive oasis There's a man with a thought in mind To cash in on the desert faces He's got a truckload of Yorkshire girls For your harem going places And the border bums never saw The guns in the whiskey cases There's a real, big demand And it's written in the palm of his hand He's gonna change the face of the desert He's gonna sweep away the sand Hang on sheik, I've got a yellow streak I ain't here, I'm a mirage Get back Des, keep it under your fez And don't give us away in the massage Look what I did for the pyramid I put a pool in and made it pay I built an elevator and a film theatre And I shipped it to the U.S.A. 'Cos there's a real big demand And it's written in the palm of my hand I'm gonna change the face of the desert I'm gonna sweep away the sand Hang on friends! There's a lot more goodies in the pipeline So this ain't the time to close the deal Here's the deal Ooh, now you've got a Howitzer all of your own Ooh, and a Panzer division to chauffeur you home Gun running is fun But hang on, friends, hang on friends Allah be praised, there's a whole new craze We're gonna shoot up the foreign legion And it's up with the sheik And down with the frog We're gonna liberate the region! Oh Effendi, we're gonna bury your head in the sand Oh Effendi, you better get off my doggone land Hey, Prince of the moonbeams Son of the Sun, Light of a thousand stars Your gorillas are urban And there's bourbon on your turban And the sun shines out of your ass Oh Effendi, I'm gonna grovel in your wake Oh Effendi, it's all been a big mistake You're gonna cut out my liver If I don't deliver Things are getting out of hand I'm going to ride off into the sunset and Make a deal with the promised land Goodbye friends There's no more goodies in the pipeline |

You promised me everything would change Even said you'd be my wife Ooh now you're gone You told me I was handsome Even told me I was smart And I believed every word you said Ooh then you broke my heart I don't know why I was so hard of hearing I only listened to what I wanted to I couldn't see what was goin' on around me You didn't need me But I needed you Ooh ooh Now everything has changed The tables have been turned on me It's all been rearranged Like the setting sun Ooh now you're gone I don't know why I was so hard of hearing I only listened to what I wanted to I couldn't see what was goin' on around me You didn't need me But I needed you Ooh ooh Now I'm sittin' in the dark place I got murder on my mind Say goodbye to the rat race No more setting sun 'Cause soon I'll be gone |

See the monkey peel the onion
See the monkey cry He can feel his tears are flowin' But he don't know why He continues peeling faster 'Til the onion is no more Now at last his cryin's over But all he had is gone Whatever for You and I are always chasing Wild ambitions and far off dreams As we run in all directions Nothing's quite the joy it seems If I tell you that I love you Don't ask how much And don't ask why Have no doubt and ask no questions Just believe it's not a lie Never take my love for granted But never put it to the test Like the monkey and his onion Too much investigation You know the rest You and I are always chasing Wild ambitions and far off dreams As we run in all directions Nothing's quite the joy it seems On that we could be contented With the good things that we've gained But in the end we're empty handed Just because we need the world explained |

Ten thousand miles away from someone Ten thousand miles away from you Who's your friend on the end of a telephone line A telephone line's like a life line You run me cool you run me hot love You take me where I wanna be Ship to shore, air to land Seems it's always the same I always end up with a lame brain Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no Don't go givin' it all away Don't go walkin' in your sleep no Don't go givin' it all away Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no Don't go givin' it all away Don't go walkin' in your sleep no You're ten thousand miles away Livin' it up in the paradise Don't make it right, don't make it wrong When you know you've got a friend who's at the other end And a telephone line's like a life line But a walk on the wire It don't put out no fire A telephone line's like a life line Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no Don't go givin' it all away Don't go walkin' in your sleep no Don't go givin' it all away Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no Don't go givin' it all away Don't go walkin' in your sleep no You're ten thousand miles away When you wake you'll find me sleepin The clock don't stop when you're not here But you know you've got a friend Who's at the other end And a telephone line's like a life line A telephone line is a life line A telephone line is a life line A telephone line is a life line |

I'm dancing on the White House lawn
Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn Hanging round the gardens of Babylon Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up She gets more fan mail than the Pope She takes the mickey out of all my phobias Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia Life is a minestrone Served up with parmesan cheese Death is a cold Lasagne Suspended in deep freeze I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa Had an eyeful of the tower in France I'm hanging round the gardens of Madison And the seat of learning And the flush of success Relieves a constipated mind I'm like a gourmet in a skid row diner A fitting menu for a dilettante Life is a minestrone Served up with parmesan cheese Death is a cold Lasagne Suspended in deep freeze Love is a fire of flaming brandy Upon a crepe suzette Let's get this romance cooking, honey But let us not forget Life is a minestrone Served up with parmesan cheese Death is a cold Lasagne Suspended in deep freeze |

Hazy Days
With Lazy Ways You get less done but more Out of your days How can you work yet avoid Getting out of your lazy ways You'll never get up if you don't get up You'll always stay down if you sit around You'll never get up if you don't get up You'll always stay down if you sit around Hazy Days Lazy Ways We got less done but more Out of our days How can we ever recapture the feeling Of lazy ways You'll never get up if you don't get up You'll always stay down if you sit around Where nobody cares and nobody tries 'Cos a daydreams resting on the back of your eyes On the back of your eyes Taking five Bring love to me With your body Let me hold you Endless, endlessly You'll never get up if you don't get up You'll always stay down if you sit around Where nobody cares and nobody tries 'Cos a daydreams resting on the back of your eyes On the back of your eyes Hazy days Lazy ways You get less done but more Out of your days Crazy days Lazy ways |

Last Night You know you really really made me appreciate my life When you took me to the seventh floor And closed the door I didn't stand a chance Oh oh that night When my conscience was losing in that age old fight Now I've always been a non-believer A true deceiver A hit and run romance Don't you know that when we turned out the light We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave Like we were ships in the night Going nowhere Last night When the feeling was missing but the mood was right From the moment we took the floor I knew for sure We'd play the parts we're expected to I've done it so many times Man we're all inmates of the human zoo Our bodies in control of our minds I played the jester and you played the fool You kept forgetting your lines I had to prompt you with a bourbon or two Huh, you planned to come all the time But when we turned out the light We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave Like we were ships in the night Going nowhere Oh last night You know you really really gave me something to write about In the morning it was just the same I'd lost again But it won't take me long to forget Oh oh last night |

The people were running
The place was on fire The smoke was a-growing And the flames were getting higher The fire chief was shouting As he knocked down my door He said you better move your butt boy Or you'll knock on heaven's door I'm so laid back, I'm laid out I'm so caved in and spaced out I'm wired to the teeth I'm fused to the floor So baby don't you bug me no more Don't you bug me no more The rent needing paying The insurance was due The roof needing fixing And the rain was coming through But the forecast is sunny So I'll stay here on my back Tomorrow is another day It's cozy in the sack I'm so laid back, I'm laid out I'm so caved in and spaced out I'm wired to the teeth I'm fused to the floor So baby don't you bug me no more Don't you bug me no more There were times when you wanted to be number one And the glamour and the glitter were turning him on But he realized that it was better to be number two (ooh) My luxury is living 'Cause I can't afford to die I'm a diletantic mother With a twinkle in my eye Let the others do the running I'm content to take a cut Percentages are burning And I'm happy in my rut I'm so laid back, I'm laid out I'm so caved in and spaced out I'm wired to the teeth I'm fused to the floor So baby don't you bug me no more Don't you bug me no more No more, no more, no more, [etc.] |

I'm not in love,
so don't forget it It's just a silly phase I'm going through And just because I call you up, Don't get me wrong don't think you've got it made I'm not in love no no it's because... I like to see you but then again, That doesn't mean you mean that much to me So if I call you don't make a fuss, Don't tell your friends about the two of us I'm not in love no no it's because... Be quiet big boys don't cry big boys don't cry I keep your picture upon the wall It hides a nasty stain that's lying there So don't you ask me to give it back I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me I'm not in love no no it's because... Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me Ooh, you'll wait a long time Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me Ooh, you'll wait a long time I'm not in love so don't forget it It's just a silly phase I'm going through And just because I call you up, Don't get me wrong don't think you've got it made I'm not in love I'm not in love... |
