Oh the feeling
when you're reeling You step lightly thinking you're number one Down to zero with a word leaving, for another one Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground Down to the ground down to the ground Down to the ground down to the ground Brand new dandy first class scene stealer Walks through the crowd and takes your man Sends you rushing to the mirror Brush your eyebrows and say "There's more beauty in you than anyone" Oh, remember who walked the warm sand beside you Moored to your heel let the waves come rushing in She took the worry from your head But then again She put trouble in your heart instead And you fall Down to the ground Down to the ground You'll know heartache Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son Take to your bed you say there's peace in sleep But you dream of love instead Oh, the heartache you'll find Can bring more pain than a blistering sun But oh when you fall Oh when you fall Fall at my door Instrumental Oh the feeling when you're reeling you step lightly thinking you're number one Down to zero with a word Leaving for another one Now you won't put you're feet back on the ground Down to the ground down to the ground Down to the ground down to the ground You'll know heartache Still more crying when you're thinking of your mother's only son Take to your bed You say there's peace in sleep But you dream of love instead But oh when you fall Oh when you fall Fall at my door |

Are you for or against us
We are trying to get somewhere Looking around for a helping hand We're doing our best to keep it steady But it's falling down around us Blows keep coming fast and strong I done found another fellow He agrees with my direction Arms around each others shoulders we go everywhere Are you in, are you out Are you in, are you out Are you in, are you out Are you in, are you out Do you care to dance about and shout Join Jack and the boys Be in a band Doing a one night stand We'll be dancing in the floodlight Second to none Not even on a bad night Dancing in the floodlight Second to none Not even on a bad night We'll succeed where others failed Stay together many years And watch us take the world by storm Are you in, are you out Do you care to dance about and shout Join Jack and the boys Be in a band Doing the one night stands |

I am not in love

Sinking
Caught up in a whirling motion Such a strange sensation The currents uncertain Like sails of a mill I spin Like wheels I move in a circle While you stand on the bank Immune or evasive Throw me a lifeline Save me... Intimacy and affection Frozen In this game of chance I forfeit Full hand of love With no counters Like a moth With no flame To persuade me Like blood in the rain Running thin While you stand on the inside Looking in Save me... Inside looking in Complete in yourself Throw me a lifeline Save me... Stand on the bank Immune or evasive Throw me a lifeline Save me... |

I don't know what you're thinking
Should I stay or say goodbye You blow smoke on the ceiling You don't wanna look into my eyes You've got somebody who loves you But now I wanna see you fan the fire Wrap the sheets around you With me hugged up inside I wanna see you fan the fire Come on stoke the blaze And don't run for cover You've got somebody who loves you Somebody loves you You've got somebody who loves you Somebody loves you Cozy corner your arms around you So tired of one night stands Left with longing from misspent passion With one more human to despise You've got somebody who loves you Don't mine for gold in the dim lit cafes And as the gypsy once foretold Love is dark but no stranger Mistaken shyness can be costly Too hasty a goodbye Then you've lost me You've got somebody who loves you Somebody loves you I wanna see you fan the fire Come on stoke the blaze And don't run for cover Mistaken shyness can be costly Too hasty a goodbye Then you've lost me |

Met him on a Monday
And he said he loved me so Walked me to my door Before I knew it to my living room I thought there was no need for worry When he took me in his arms Drank some whisky Hung his coat upon the stand That's when the music started I heard the light switch click I stumbled on a lost shoe The fever's starting This man was getting hot I got no strength to make him stop I guess it's too late But I'll know next time To mix some water with the wine The sun came pouring in at five Upon my face I felt the taste of last night's love Upon my lips I wasn't sure if I had dreamt it Or had not But there across the pillow was the face I had forgot That's when he said he loved me Could be the truth this time He put his arms about me Fever's starting This man was getting hot I got no strength to make him stop I guess it's too late But I'll know next time To mix some water with the wine |

We went down to the sea You know we talked of loving And you talked of love to me We sat down under a bus shelter And talked of other things But bit by bit by bit it came 'round again How much in love are we It was a fine thing We were young So much love to give It was the right thing We were alone Under the stars Getting in the mood Kissing under the Big bright shiny stars That light up the sky Kissing in front of that old lady Who just walked past our seat Getting in the mood Kissin' and a huggin' Because It was a fine thing We were young So much love to give It was the right thing We were alone Under the stars |

When I saw you coming down the road I thought Mama Mercy Don't let him get me I got a happy life at home But as sure as sure is you passed me Of course I had to look and as I turned my head I knew right then I was gonna have to do it again And I was singing Mercy Mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray It's gonna hurt I was drinking beer with a close friend When I saw you walking in the room I thought Mercy me I can't keep a running You're gonna get me, oooh As wrong as this is You touched me Of course you had me hooked And as I kissed your lips I knew right then I was gonna have to do it again And I was singing Mercy Mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray It's gonna hurt I was sitting down with my sweetheart Making out I was sincere I thought Mercy me I can't keep a lying I got to get the air clear as long as you stay with me Forget the whole affair I promise you I'll be true I'm never gonna do it again And I was singing Mercy Mercy mama Don't you dare let it get me I love the one I love And if I stray It's gonna hurt |

Alone
You turn your head around On your own The order to the man One strong drink Searching for that question To give yourself some reason To talk to a stranger Don't be afraid We all need someone who is on our side Some things must not wait And a pledge short lived or long Is all that's needed Who'll help Don't isolate If you see someone not dancing It's your fault Never is too late And a dance short lived or long Is all that's needed Who will help this lonely one Move Direction seems unknown Walk Another hour passed And still alone Searching for that question Looking for somebody Trying to find that person To love Just be aware Asking for help from someone Is not too easy |

Opportunity
Came to my door When I was down On my luck In the shape Of an old friend With a plan Guaranteed Showed me the papers As he walked me to the car His shoes Finest leather He said You could wear this style Follow my advice He owned a gun The calibre escaped me But I noticed Straight away It made me itch Carried an address With numbers on the back And an L-shaped Bar of iron What's that for I asked my man With eyes Wide opened And the knowledge in my head And he said Opportunity World wide adventure Money in the bank We did the job The work was so well done No one saw us coming Much less leave But what I dropped Carried my credentials And a black and white Shot of you and me What's that for I asked the cop With eyes of innocence The knowledge in my head And he said Opportunity World wide adventure Let me have your hand |

Your heart on fire I wanna be Your one desire 'Cos when you kisses me Make me feel so nice inside Make me feel so good I wanna tell the world I'm glad I found you I'm a lucky girl With you to hold me 'Cos when you kisses me Make me feel so nice inside Make me feel so good Like my baby There's no other You can tempt me but You won't hold me Oh my darlin' Don't you worry No false promise Ain't no lie I may look over my shoulder But I'll never leave your side Both day and night You fill my dreams Who should I thank For all you bring me 'Cos when you kisses me Make me feel so nice inside |

All dressed up and we got somewhere to go
We're all dressed up in our Sunday clothes Me and my baby See us walking down the road We're going to the hop Down at the hall you'll find us dancing I'm dancing right across the floor Me and my baby See the people Hear them shout for more Me and my baby See us doing all those fancy steps We're dancing at the hop This dance is the coolest yet One boy he grabs a foreign girl And he never even asked her name He wants a dance And he wants it now And he can dance Let me show you how |

He had me down
But I put up a fight I saw those teeth And I groped for my knife Big brown bear With the juice from his mouth He could taste my leg And he thought he'd got me But I am eating the bear He lurked around 'Cos he knew where I lived I'm in the jungle and he means to eat me He means to eat me He's a hungry bear He touched my arm And he thought he'd got me But I am eating the bear Some days the bear will eat you Some days you'll eat the bear And I am eating the bear It's not just girls He eats who he wants He's big and strong Fights dirty and mean If you spill some blood He'll smell you for miles You better watch out 'Cos he's right behind you |

Well you started out wanting my body
And I didn't mind 'Cos we liked each other And it also helped to pass the time Well everybody dreams of one And now I want you And not just for fun But if you've got no love to give Baby don't give it here I wanted you to be my lover I would be your friend And I'd wear the purple shirt 'Cos it makes you laugh And I would too Well if there's anything I can do I wanna do it And if I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you Your best friend's friend told someone I was the hurting kind And they've planted that seed And it's growing there in your mind Well if you're looking for a permanent mate Just accept me as your fate 'Cos if I had no love to give I wouldn't give it to you |

Every day
My friends say I'm in the worst kind of trouble But they talk in vain I ain't listening I listed too often Where they get their wisdom I shall never know And I can't believe my ears There's fifty people Telling me to Give it up But I don't want to hear Fortune tellers Seeing omens And writings on walls I think they falsify They mean to see me cry They offer less than my hopes Where they get their magic I shall never know And I can't believe my eyes They push the rainbows out And give you Stormy skies But I don't want to know I'm living in a fool's paradise I'm living on false hope and lies I'm gonna be rejected Let down Expect it I'm living in a fool's paradise My baby say It's all alright That's good enough for me Say pay no heed to idle minds They're all romancers |

I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection right from the start I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart Yet still you get my attention Why do you come here when you know I've got troubles enough Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone Make me lie when I don't want to And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool You make me stay when I should not Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by But I mean to see you And I mean to hold you, tightly Feeling guilty, worried, waking from tormented sleep This old love has me bound but the new love cuts deep If I choose now, I'll lose out, one of you has to fall And I need you, and you Why do you come here when you know I've got troubles enough Why do you call me when you know I can't answer the phone Make me lie when I don't want to And make someone else some kind of unknowing fool You make me stay when I should not Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me Why do you come here and pretend to be just passing by But I mean to see you And I mean to hold you, tightly |

You always say
When I just messed up Did bad Done wrong Gone too far Caused such pain Such shame I'm illegal See one sided No fair A sin there Act queer Odd ball I mishandle You trample So strong Wear crown Under foot Put upon Hold down Hey when I get it right Will you tell me please I wanna know You always say no You don't mean yes No way Hold out Turn around Two refusals Deaf ear Turned here Not want Leave room All fault here Shake head Drop dead |

Oh the feeling When you're reeling You step lightly thinking you're number one Yown to zero with a word Leaving For another one Now you walk with your feet Back on the ground Down to the ground Down to the ground Down to the ground Down to the ground Brand new dandy First class scene stealer Walks through the crowd and takes your man Sends you rushing to the mirror Brush your eyebrows and say There's more beauty in you than anyone Oh remember who walked the warm sands beside you Moored to your heel Let the waves come a rushing in She'll take the worry from your head But then again She put trouble in your heart instead Then you'll fall Down to the ground Down to the ground You'll know heartache Still more crying When you're thinking of your mother's only son Take to your bed You say there's peace in sleep But you'll dream of love instead Oh the heartache you'll find Can bring more pain than a blistering sun But oh when you fall Oh when you fall Fall at my door... |

From this feeling of wanting you But I know you as well As I know myself And as hard as you try To deny that you care for me You know I can read What your lips won't say Oh darling We can't stay close We can't let go What are we supposed to do Darling What are we supposed to do Can't stay close Can't let go What are we supposed to do Darling We may argue and fight And the tears run wild But it's where we belong In each other's arms Oh darling Can't stay close Can't let go What are we supposed to do Darling What are we supposed to do |
