Kajagoogoo

No sooner than I turn my back and then
It's so hard to find
I'm on the decline with you
Were I to know your feelings...
Is there something between me and you?
Can't pretend you surprise me
And baby it's hurting me too

Hang on girl, meet my heart
It knows the best time for new love to start
Hang on now, meet my heart
It knows the best time for us to start
Hang on girl (hang on girl)
Won't you remain?

Those special moments together
I don't understand
But can't we go ahead as we had planned?
I've questioned all your reasons
Underneath I can see
Somewhere my stolen lover
Who really should still be with me

Hang on girl, meet my heart
It knows the best time for new love to start
Hang on now, meet my heart
It knows the best time for us to start
Hang on girl, meet my heart
It knows the best time for new love to start

Should I hang on - should I stay?
What's the ransom - I will pay?

Hang on girl, meet my heart
It knows the best time for new love to start
Hang on now, meet my heart
It knows the best time for us to start
(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)

Take away my prime from the mouth of the lion
Savage jaws are the price we pay
Take away their lies let me see with my own eyes
Walk along the narrow way

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Oh what a waste
Your sword is no use when you're standing face to face
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Oh what a waste
Harvest the human race
Your sword's no use to you when standing face to face
They say

Hey fool, watch out!
You'll get mauled by the lion's mouth
Hey fool, watch out!
You'll get mauled by the lion's mouth

Take away my chains
Don't want to see 'em again
Take away my misery
Take away my blindfold
Don't want to belong to the yo-o-old
Take it up and set me free

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Oh what a waste
Your sword is no use when you're standing face to face
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Oh what a waste
A mystic human race
Your sword's no use to you when standing face to face
They say

Hey fool, watch out!
You'll get mauled by the lion's mouth
I don't think so
Hey fool, watch out!
You'll get mauled by the lion's mouth
I don't think so

See my face
You know where I've been
Walking in jungle
Cruising down boulevard
Part of the race
Taking a tumble

Loving that stranger
Is fearing from danger
Is crying in some avenue
And soon the hate will be there...

Assassin with gun
Is taking his aim
To target his rival
And tossing the street
Is a dangerous game
The stakes of survival

Love in that stranger
Still fearing that danger
Still crying in some avenue
And soon the hate will be there too

Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast...

Cops on route
Are hot in pursuit
As windows are shattered
Cafe and arcade are teeming with loot
The sidewalks are scattered

Walking down highways
Just seeing things my way
While dealer man enjoys his wealth
You spare the rope he'll hang himself

Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your... drag your...

Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
(Repeat chorus to fade)

(INTRO)
Loving is to live with the power to forgive.
Loving is to live with the power to forgive.

(VERSE 1)
Lead me, show me, where can it be found?
Reach me, hold me, don't ever let me down.

(BRIDGE 1)
(Tell me what you've seen.)
I know the story.
(Tell me what you mean.)
Maybe or surely.
(Tell me what you've seen.)
The crimson fell like rain.
(Should I even try?)
Whatever before me.
(Living out a lie?)
I believe in glory.
(Should I even try?)
Until it comes again.

(CHORUS)
Forgiveness you're the key, you're no fool that died for me.
I'm real sorry though, I simply could not see.
Forgiveness you're the key, you're no fool that died for me.
Forgiveness is forgiving endlessly.

(VERSE 2)
Reach me, show me, where can it be found?
Teach me, grow with me, don't ever let me down.

(BRIDGE 2)
(Tell me what you've seen.)
Every day I fail him.
(Tell me what you mean.)
As I bang another nail in.
(Tell me what you've seen.)
Living my life the same.
(Should I even try?)
Paying the debt back.
(Living out a lie?)
A long time side-tracked.
(Should I even try?)
Until it comes again.

(CHORUS)
Forgiveness you're the key, you're no fool that died for me.
I'm real sorry though, I simply could not see.
Forgiveness you're the key, you're no fool that died for me.
Forgiveness is forgiving endlessly.

Oh oh
(REPEAT CHORUS FADING)

The frozen north sits high above the west
Nobody lives there only the polar bear
The bleak terrain is no place to rest
The howling winds, sounding so familiar

Snow melting the ice away
Snow, snow, snow falling from miles away
Snow falling from miles away
Snow, snow, snow melting the ice away

Don't shed no tears for me
Go put your trust in someone else
No hopes no fears for me
Void of emotion, nobody spoils no one's devotion

A moment's panic captured in a warm embrace
Just my breath gently blowing up at my face
I get so restless sleeping on a precipice
Dreamt the snow melting the ice

Snow melting the ice away
Snow, snow, snow melting your ice away

Don't shed no tears for me
Go put your trust in someone else
No hopes no fears for me
Void of emotion, nobody spoils no one's devotion
The cold comes here for me
This place looks like my kind of hell

Oohhhhhhhhh ahhh ahhh ahhh oohhhhhhhhh

Don't shed no tears for me
Go put your trust in someone else
No hopes no fears for me
I blame nobody but myself
No hopes no fears
Don't shed no tears
Don't do no waiting for me
No hopes no fears
Don't shed no tears
Don't do no waiting for me
Don't shed no tears for me
Go put your trust in someone else

Turn your back on me
yeah
turn your back on me
yeah.
Loved you like no other
I loved you like a brother.
What do I discover? I know I won't recover.
I can't help myself
I can't help myself

Loved you like no other
I know I won't recover.
Tuni your back on me
yeah

Now you turn your back on me
turn your back on me now

Oh
turn your back on me
now
turn your back on me
yeah

Now you turn your back on me
your back on me
your back on me

Now you turn your back on me.
Much more than I ought to
I loved you like a daughter.
Got me in deep water
and now I got to face the torture.
I can't help myself
I can't help myself

Much more than I ought to
I loved you like a daughter.
Turn your back on me
yeah
. . .
Turn your back on me

. . .
Much more than I ought to

Oh
you turn your back on me

little girl

Now you turn your back on me
. . .

(Off shore) Either sink or swim
(I saw) What kind of boat I'm in
(Much more) Although I can't forget you
The light is growing dim

Feet are falling on foreign ground
Luck in short supply
I feel like Crusoe before him found
All gone pass me by
I walk on beach, I sleep on sand, I walk in water
Salty sea got a hold on me
Daylight come, be it now or never

Lost on some horizon
No man is an island
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)

(Jackdaw) He don't bother me
(Wild boar) He keep me company
(Panther) My only consolation
In my calamity

Lady Luck or Lady Death must pass this shore some day
I hope she's coming, I ain't seen her yet
Come to take my soul away
Light my fire on the top of hill
So all the ships can see that I'm a prisoner here
And come before I disappear

Lost on some horizon
No man is an island
Banished here to prolong my silence
No man is an island
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)

(INSTRUMENTAL MIDDLE BREAK)

(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)
(No man is an island)

I thought you had a dreaming to fly
Until I saw the doubt in your eye

Tell you what I'll do, I'm gonna do, get on, get out with you now
I'll tell you what I'll do, I'm gonna do, hurry on home with you now

On a plane, you make no sound
You'll get your courage back again when we touch down
On a plane (on a plane), take my breath away (breath away)
I'll watch you courage come back again when we touch down (we touch down)

Fly with me, find peace in the clouds
The laws of gravity can't hold me down

Tell you what I'll do, I'm gonna do, get on, get out with you now
I'll tell you what I'll do, I'm gonna do, hurry on home with you now
Tell you what I'll do, I'm gonna do, get on, get out with you now
I'll tell you what I'll do, and what I'll do, travel on back with you now

On a plane (on a plane), you make no sound (make no sound)
You'll get your courage back again when we touch down

You'll get your courage back again when we touch down

I'm half open
I'm in two
Holding back
Half of me from you
If you were here
You would probably see
I'm a fraction of the guy
That I want to be

Part of me is you...
Wo oh wo oh wo oh...
Part of me is you...
Wo oh wo oh wo oh...
Part of me is you!

Let the drum beat out
On another year
The rise of hope
End the flood of my tears
The sun beat down
On the course of time
Help me find a cure
For my incurable mind

Don't let the truth in
It ends the game!
If you do
I know, I'll never be the same
So blank my memory
And black my life
Is it real what I feel?
Am I wrong, are you right?

Part of me is you...
Wo oh wo oh wo oh...
Part of me is you...
Wo oh!
Part of me is you...
Wo oh wo oh wo oh...
Part of me is you!
Part of me is you...
Wo oh wo oh wo oh...
Part of me is you...
Wo oh!
Part of me is you...
Wo oh wo oh wo oh...
Part of me is you!
Part of me is you...
Wo oh wo oh wo oh...
Part of me is you...
Wo oh!
Part of me is you...
Wo oh wo oh wo oh...
Part of me is you!

Pick and choose the things you wear
Feel free to look around with no obligation
Times have changed so break new ground
Feel free and take your time
Take a little extra time
More time with no obligations

Clothes in Vogue are all the rage
Ah! But don't expect too much
They can't perform miracles
Head to toe, disguised again
It's heavy when they say
We don't perform miracles, no!
We don't perform miracles

Ooh to be ah jetsetter
Be ah head start
Ooh to be ah, ooh to be ah
Look at me, ooh in something new
Ooh to be ah

Cool glossy mags reveal the facts
With a little bit of goo
It's usually in the Who's Who...
Place your bets
Predict the favourite party of the day
You'll find it in the Who's Who...
Who's there!?
You'll find them in the Who's Who...

Ooh to be ah jetsetter
Be ah head start
Ooh to be ah, ooh to be ah
Look at me, ooh in something new
Ooh to be ah

Ooh be ah

Turn your back on me

Loved you like no other
I loved you like a brother.
What do I discover? I know I won't recover.
I can't help myself

Loved you like no other

(KAJAGOOGOO WITH LIMAHL'S LIVE VERSION)
Technicolor is making this ride too fast
I think I'll find a new way to remedy it at last
I'll take a little more time to get my focus seem right
I'll take a little more time I just can't see the light

Putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
I'm putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
In monochrome, monochrome…

I think it's fall-over steep I wanna lie there with you
I've been watching the Moon and your eyes so blue
And now I look together and your heart is there to stay
I've been watching the road all day

Putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
I'm putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
In monochrome, monochrome…

(Instrumental Middlex8)

Putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
I'm putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
In monochrome, monochrome, monochrome, monochrome!

(KAJAGOOGOO WITH NICK BEGGS' LIVE VERSION)
Taking hard all is making this ride too fast
I think I'll find a new way to remedy it at last
Find the circle by answers never known in our mind
The answers to questions aren't very kind

Putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
Then putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
In monochrome, everything looks better now in monochrome

Your face is much stiffer and much better at night
The pleasure feels great when it falls in my sight
Take a little more time and use a temperate light
Take a little more time to get the focus seems right

Putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
Then putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
In monochrome, monochrome…

(Instrumental Middlex8)

Putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
Then putting on my monochromatic spectacles
My new found lens looks better than the modern world
In monochrome, monochrome, monochrome, monochrome!

See my face
You know where I've been
Walking in jungle
Cruising down boulevard
Part of the race
Taking a tumble

Loving that stranger
Is fearing from danger
Is crying in some avenue
And soon the hate will be there...

Assassin with gun
Is taking his aim
To target his rival
And tossing the street
Is a dangerous game
The stakes of survival

Love in that stranger
Still fearing that danger
Still crying in some avenue
And soon the hate will be there too

Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast...

Cops on route
Are hot in pursuit
As windows are shattered
Cafe and arcade are teeming with loot
The sidewalks are scattered

Walking down highways
Just seeing things my way
While dealer man enjoys his wealth
You spare the rope he'll hang himself

Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your... drag your...

Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels

Tongue-tied or short of breath don't even try

Something's wrong, I'm not naive, you must must be strong
Ooh, baby try

You're too shy too shy

Too shy too shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy too shy
Hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy too shy

Modern medicine falls short of your complaint
Try a little harder
You're moving in circles, won't you dilate
Ooh, baby try
