Baby, baby, baby don't leave me.
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself. I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me. Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad. You came into my heart (baby, baby) so tenderly, With a burning love (baby, baby) That stings like a bee (baby, baby). Now that I surrender (baby, baby) so helplessly, You now want to leave (baby, baby). Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby, baby). Ooh (baby, baby). Baby, baby, where did our love go? Ooh, don't you want me? Don't you want me no more (baby, baby)? Ooh, baby. Baby, baby, where did our love go? And all your promises of a love forevermore! I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me. Ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad. Before you won my heart (baby, baby) You were a perfect guy. But now that you got me, You wanna leave me behind (baby, baby). Ooh, baby. Baby, baby, baby don't leave me. Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself (baby, baby). Ooh. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HOLLAND, EDWARD, JR./HOLLAND, BRIAN/DOZIER, LAMONT HERBERT <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Sometimes I feel I've got to. . . run away, I've got to. . . get away >From the pain you drive into the heart of me. The love we share seems to go nowhere, And I've lost my life, For I toss and turn; I can't sleep at night. Once I ran to you, now I run from you. This tainted love you've given, I gave you all a boy could give you. Take my tears and that's not really all. . . Tainted love, ohh, tainted love Now I know I've got to. . . run away, I've got to. . . get away. You don't really want any more from me. To make things right you need someone to hold you tight, And you think love is to pray, But I'm sorry I don't pray that way. Don't touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease. I love you though you hurt me so. Now I'm gonna pack my things and go. Ohh, tainted love () Touch me baby, tainted love ( & fade out) |

A thousand hands applaud tonight I sing my songs my star shines bright I stop and smile, I take by bow I leave the stage and then somehow Backstage I'm lonely Backstage I cry You've gone away and each night I seem to die a little Out on that stage I play the star I'm famous now I've come so far A famous fool I let love go I didn't know I'd miss you so Backstage I'm lonely Backstage I cry Hating myself since I let you say goodbye Every night a different girl Every night a different club And yet I'm lonely all the time When I sign my autograph When I hold an interview Can't get you out of my mind Come back my love Come back to me I need you now so desperately What good is fame it's just a game I'd give it all to be the same Backstage I wait now hoping I'll see Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me Your smiling face waiting there backstage for me Backstage, Backstage |

The subway station's closed again Sleeps beneath its veil of rain My footprints broken trail behind Steals the nightlights from my mind The dark deserted streets then clear Today has lived and died in here So I leave the chapel gloom To find the shelter of my tiny room But it's alright while the lights of the city shine so bright It's all right till the last winding train fades from sight Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in The panneled patens (patterns?) on the door Chase shivering shadows to the floor Upon the pillow worn and thin The memories of hopes begin The carpet with its flowers and shredding Spires a foot before my bed The crack that won't return again Advancing through my broken window pane But it's alright while the lights of the city shine so bright It's all right till the last winding train fades from sight Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in The friends I've left back home all write With laughing words that warm my sight Saying "Tell us, how's the city life?" I reply and say just fine (why?) And so you see I can't go back Until I either win or crack I'm standing in a one way street The stage is set The story incomplete But it's alright while the lights of the city shine so bright It's all right till the last winding train fades from sight Then alone in my room I must stay to lose or win While these wild bedsitter images come back to hem me in |

There's a certain sound always follows me around When you're close to me you will hear it It's the sound that lovers hear when they discover There could be no other for their love CHORUS It's my happy heart you hear Singing loud and singing clear And it's all because you're near me, my love Take my happy heart away Let me love you night and day In your arms I wanna stay, oh my love Feeling more and more like I've never felt before You have changed my life so completely Music fills my soul now, I've lost all control now I'm not half, I'm whole now with your love CHORUS Repeat CHORUS with "La-la's" Repeat CHORUS with "La-la's" and FADE |

It isn't the way that you look And it isn't the way that you talk It isn't the things that you say or do Make me want you so It is nothing to do with the wine Or the music that's flooding my mind But never before have I been so sure You're the someone I dreamed I would find It's the way you make me feel The moment I am close to you It's a feeling so unreal Somehow I can't believe it's true The pounding I feel in my heart The hoping that we'll never part I can't believe this is really happening to me I close my eyes and count to ten And when I open them you're still here I close my eyes and count again I can't believe it but you're still here We were strangers a moment ago With a few dreams but nothing to show The world was a place With a frown on its face And tomorrow was just, I don't know But the way you make me feel The moment I am close to you Makes today seem so unreal Somehow I can't believe it's true Tomorrow will you still be here? Tomorrow will come but I fear That what is happening to me Is only a dream I close my eyes and count to ten And when I open them you're still here I close my eyes and count again I can't believe it but you're still here I close my eyes and count to ten And when I open them you're still here |

I had a dream Oh what a dream I saw the shape Of things to come Then I awoke It was no joke I'd seen the shape Of things to come. Kitsch is a beautiful word It's a beautiful word It's a beautiful lullabye. I saw a queen All dressed in green But I could see She had no soul I see the moon Shining in June What we all need Is Rock and Roll. Kitsch is a beautiful word It's a beautiful word It's a beautiful lullabye. Old plastic macs And caddilacs Prawn cocktails Steak And lovely wine Just do your thing And we'll all sing So here we go Now take your time. Kitsch is a beautiful word It's a beautiful word It's a beautiful lullabye. |

Sing a song of sad young man Glasses full of rye All the news is bad again so Kiss your dreams goodbye All the sad young men Sitting in the bars Knowing neon nights Missing all the stars All the sad young men Drifting through the town Drinking up the night Trying not to drown All the sad young men Singing in the cold Trying to forget That they're growing old All the sad young men Choking on their worth Trying to be brave Running from the truth Autumm turns the leaves to gold Slowly dies the heart Sad young men are growing old That's the cruelest part All the sad young men Seek a certain smile Someone they can hold for a little while Tired little girl does the best she can Trying to be gay for her sad young man While the grimy moon Watches from above All the sad young men Play of making love Misbegotten moon Shine for sad young men Let your gentle light Guide them home tonight All the sad young men |

Sung by Bobby Darin - 1963] Off comes the makeup, off comes the clown's disguise The curtain's falling, the music softly dies But I hope you're smiling as you're filing out the door As they say in this biz that's all there is, there isn't any more We've shared our moment, and as the moment ends I've got a funny feeling we're parting now as friends Your cheers and laughter will linger After they've torn down these dusty walls If I had this to do again And the evening were new again I would spend it with you again But now the curtain falls People say I was made for this Nothing else would I trade for this And just think I get paid for this Good night, Ladies and Gentlemen and God love you |

Cow bell strikes another night Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache You've bought some coffee, butter and bread You can't make a thing cause the meter's dead You moved away Hold your folks you're gonna stay away Bright lights, Soho, Wardour street You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet Somebody shows you round Now you've met the London boys Things seem good again, someone cares about you Oh, the first time that you tried a pill You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill You're gonna be sick, but you mustn't lose faith To let yourself down would be a big disgrace With the London boys, with the London boys You're only seventeen, but you think you've grown In the month you've been away from your parents' home You take the pills too much You don't give a damn about that jobs you've got So long as you're with the London boys A London boy, oh a London boy Your flashy clothes are your pride and joy A London boy, a London boy You're crying out loud that you're a London boy You think you've had a lot of fun But you ain't got nothing, you're on the run It's too late now, cause you're out there boy You've got it made with the rest of the toys Now you wish you'd never left your home You've got what you wanted but you're on your own With the London boys Now you've met the London boys (3 times) |

Chips on my shoulder
More as I grow older Feel I owe a debt For the things I don't get I only miss out (Well I was there before) I sit in a corner Sit on the floor Misery Complaints Self Pity Injustice Chips on my shoulder There's no time for fun time It's sit and complain time I'll talk about famine While cooking the dinner Don't you feel guilty Don't you feel pity (No) While my head gets fatter And the starving get thinner I should have told her I've chips on my shoulder I'm making a stand While I sit on my arse Fish and chip supper While those in the gutter Can't have a good time Fun's just a farse Misery Complaints Self Pity Injustice Chips on my shoulder Chips on my shoulder Now sing it |

It was the morning after the month before
And I'm looking like a nose with eyes Take a trip or letter to make me feel better 'Cause I know my mirror never lies Have you ever had the feeling that your life's down the can(?) And the hand that holds the whip is not your own Your breakfast's going cold and your routine's getting old Is it me, this feeling insecure? Hiding in the darkness where they can't see your eyes In a naked city cinema Watch the bodies rolling around on the screen And nobody gives a damn who you are You're surrounded by the bitter and the boring And you wonder if you're on the turn And again you get hurt when they're dishing the dirt Is it me, this feeling insecure? I haven't got time to worry 'bout the future Well I'm busy covering up my past Start to consider a tuck(?) behind my ears Well I wonder if my looks will last I could hit the bottle and the depths of despair But come up fighting like the best And I can tell myself that I'm winning the war But then again I'm different than the rest I'm not the hardest person in the world But like the song says 'I will survive' And I may be a wreck and a pain in the neck But at least I feel that I'm alive So I'll spit in your face and put you over the place If I'm ever feeling so unsure And you can really go to hell if you give me the soft cell It's not me, this feeling insecure It was the morning after the month before And I'm looking like a nose with eyes Take a trip or letter to make me feel better 'Cause I know my mirror never lies Have you ever had the feeling that your life's down the can(?) And the hand that holds the whip is not your own Your breakfast's going cold and your routine's getting old Is it me, this feeling insecure? [Rap by Cindy Ecstacy - 12" only:] Forget the lows, just live the highs And wipe the make up from my eyes Forget the faces that I despise As I know my mirror never lies I come up fighting like the best But then I'm better than the rest And I wonder how my looks will last Because my love is really fast And you wonder if you're on the turn Oh baby won't you ever learn That I'm a cut above the rest Don't worry 'bout the way I'm dressed And if my make up looks a mess I'm not about to get depressed 'Cause I'm the one that loves to lose Just a loser in my fucking(?) shoes And I've got the touch and I've got the feel To make a good time really real I'll just spit right in your face And push you all around the face Just love to love, just love to live Just love to live, just love to love And baby are you so so sure That you're the one that's insecure? |

Sometimes I feel I've got to Run away, I've got to Get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me The love we share Seems to go nowhere And I've lost my light For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I'll run from you This tainted love you've given I give you all a boy could give you Take my tears, and that's not nearly all Tainted love (Oh) Tainted love Now I know I've got to Run away, I've got to Get away, you don't really want any more from me To make things right You need someone to hold you tight And you think love is to pray But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I'll run from you This tainted love you've given I give you all a boy could give you Take my tears, and that's not nearly all Tainted love (Oh) Tainted love Don't touch me, please I cannot stand the way you tease I love you though you hurt me so Now I'm gonna pack my things and go Tainted love (Oh) Tainted love (Oh) Tainted love (Oh) Tainted love (Oh) Touch me, baby, tainted love Touch me, baby, tainted love Tainted love (Oh) Tainted love (Oh) Tainted love Tainted love -------------------------------------- (Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.) Baby, baby Where did our love go? Oh, don't you leave me Don't you leave me no more I've got this burning, yearning yearning feeling inside me Oh, deep inside me And it hurts so bad You came into my life So tenderly With a burning love That stings like a bee And now that I've surrendered So helplessly You know I believe You want to leave me Oh, baby baby Where did our love go Oh, don't you leave me Oh, baby baby Where did our love go? Oh don't you leave me Don't you leave me no more You came into my life So tenderly With a burning love That stings like a bee And now that I've surrendered So helplessly You know I believe You want to leave me Baby, baby Where did our love go?

I'm lost again
And I'm on the run Looking for love In a sad song With your avenger eyes And your cat like ways I can hold you You're a fool for me to be cruel I'm leaning on this bar Listening to you sing And your sad song Rings in my ears And I start to cry Chorus 1 He's searching She's showing See him held in a deep deep spell He knows she's glowing I can find within my mind A way to go I can look deep into your life and shout Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me... I hear the saxophone And it tears my soul And they're feeling old Feeling so cold She is the torch And she is the theme She could be a dream But oh boy, is she real? Try to avoid her eyes To avoid her words They will hit you With all that you feel Chorus 1 Chorus 2 See her eyes they are bright tonight See the stars coming out tonight See the moon looking down tonight See how they light your way tonight See my eyes they are bright tonight See my hands reaching out tonight Hear my words they are dynamite See how they light your way tonight 12 |

I'm lost again and I'm on the run
Looking for love in a sad song. With your avenger eyes and your catlike ways I can hold you. You are a fool for me to be cruel. I'm leaning on this bar listening to you sing And your sad song rings in my ears and I start to cry. He's searching she's showing See him heZd in a deep deep spell he knows she's glowing. I can find within my mind a way to go I can look deep into your light and shout Hold me hold me hold me hold me hold me. I hear the saxophone and it tears my soul And we're feeling old feeling so cold She is the torch and she is the theme She could be a dream but - oh boy - is she real. Try to avoid her eyes to avoid her words They will hit you with all that you feel. He's searching she's showing . . . |

Baby, baby, baby don't leave me.
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself. I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me. Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad. You came into my heart (baby, baby) so tenderly, With a burning love (baby, baby) That stings like a bee (baby, baby). Now that I surrender (baby, baby) so helplessly, You now want to leave (baby, baby). Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby, baby). Ooh (baby, baby). Baby, baby, where did our love go? Ooh, don't you want me? Don't you want me no more (baby, baby)? Ooh, baby. Baby, baby, where did our love go? And all your promises of a love forevermore! I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me. Ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad. Before you won my heart (baby, baby) You were a perfect guy. But now that you got me, You wanna leave me behind (baby, baby). Ooh, baby. Baby, baby, baby don't leave me. Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself (baby, baby). Ooh. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HOLLAND, EDWARD, JR./HOLLAND, BRIAN/DOZIER, LAMONT HERBERT <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Baby doll is on her trapeze
Wearing the smile that she never sees Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease She's thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease Baby doll, baby doll Baby doll, baby doll Time to play Sheba on a wooden stage Taking off the clothes that are grimy with age Rubbing down the skin that is white and cold And the sticking plasters that cover up the holes She stared at by a man that would do her harm She needs to earn the money that will feed his arm He promised you security, safe and warm He promised you security, safe and warm They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside The emptiness you try to hide They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside The emptiness you try to hide Baby doll I would melt your eyes that are glassy and cold And as for the future when you grow old Baby doll, baby doll They'll never know the hurt you feel inside The emptiness you try to hide Take a tiny costume from a pile of clothes Just a touch of glitter and a lot of gold Pick on a failure, make his knees go weak Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak Mouth open, eyes wide Mouth open, eyes wide Baby doll He'll wipe a line of dribble running from his mouth You make your wages later when you're back at his house You try to hide the mirror 'cause it's never kind You kickstart the heart that's so hard to find You try to save your beauty and to draw the line You bite your lip when you find it [Incomprehensible] Continue your search for a genuine love Continue your search for a genuine love Continue your search for a genuine love Baby, baby, baby doll Baby, baby, baby doll Baby, baby, baby doll |

Searching through the memory books
Of photographs your lovers took Why play the game of place the pain When you end up feeling just the same Anyway Sleep comes so slowly now So hard to keep the eyelids down And you're hoping soon to drown the sound Of a voice you know that whispers in Your mind Oh, it was a sad, sad day The day you turned away And there was nothing in your eye You had told me once you found it impossible To cry I know you've been there and back I've been there too But it was never really deep in you To do those things you had to do And in your sleepy bedroom eyes I saw the signs And I lay awake all night In the cold Until the light burned my side And there was nothing There was nothing anymore And there was nothing Not a feeling As you glanced back from the door Move away to find another place That illustrates your point of view Surrounded by the little things That re-assure That reflect you Ooooo and there was nothing And there was nothing in my heart And there was nothing in my head The light in your eyes is changing all the time And I still have your smile Burned into my mind |

It was the heat of the night I think
Or it could've been the effect of the drink But I had to brush away the flies That started to collect around your eyes I've still the taste of the sweat and the dust You're still playing games and abusing my trust In the heat of the night In the glow of the light It's the back and the bite That's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego Do you need them for sex It was a bite of a night gone wrong And the effect of listening to negative songs Stuck in a love scene from blood and sand And the way the room keeps spinning around I steal the taste of the sweat and the dust (Now I know what they mean by looks can kill) You're still playing games and abusing my trust (And they're having a strange effect on the way I feel) In the heat of the night In the glow of the light It's the back and the bite That's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego Do you need them for sex And you're moaning about your wasted life Lying there listening to "Spanish Eyes" With the cups on the floor And the plates in the sink And the room full of smoke And then you full of drink You skin's going dry And the color of sand Ignore the cigarette burning your hand |

Oh God it's another night
And your head is feeling like a lump of lead. You should never have drunk those party-fours, You should have been home being good instead. Ever been in a deja vue in the end it's the same Oh yeah you ran out of your silver thins And you're trying to be so high class Though you need a bath and your hair's looking like string And though you're nearly broke You end up paying for all the drinks And you tell them "Oh its nothing, There's a million where those come from." And then you whisper to your longest-suffering friend "Please lend me a few quid..." Oh God it's another day And your stomach's feeling like a blown-up balloon. You should never have eaten that greasy food. The doctor told you that chili was bad for your blood. And you're standing at the chemist in Boots Coughing up your guts like you're at deaths door And all this for a packet of Do-Do's And the assistant gives you a wink And you turn bright red It's at time like this that you wish you were dead And you take the whole packet And you feel like you've drunk a bottle of bleach And you tell yourself "Never, never again." Not until next week anyway.. And you were never one for holding drink And you stagger off to the toilet And you throw up like it was Christmas And you miss the bowl and you hit your shoes And there's no paper towels What else can go wrong with you? It's a choice between a cab fare home And a packet of cigarettes So you choose and the money sticks In the machine and the manager says "Tough shit - drink up and leave." Oh god it's another disease And you just got rid of the last. You were beginning to feel Okay. And the friends you gave it to Were speaking to you again. You find yourself having sex in the back of a car And the girl underneath doesn't care who you are And you're nearly there and she still doesn't care And her chewing gum is getting stuck in your hair And there's something wrong, something that you've forgot Oh shit you've forgotten the rubber And you don't want a kid well deny it was you Oh Christ if your dad find out Then he'll make you stay in And do your homework And cut your hair And wear your school uniform out in the street What a fate worse than death Oh well, he can't hit you you can hit him back And play your records so loud All the ones that he especially hates Deep Purple in rock, Led Zeppelin too. Well even you hate those... Well, on second thought I think I'll leave home and go and live um... In America Because they earn more money there And you can get away with murder - yeah! [Be-bop singing] Oh, it's a mug's game [Be-bop singing] I Can't wait ‘til I'm twenty-one And then tell them all to sod off! |

Passing time in the afternoon
Cleaning the bathroom floor Rearrange things in the dining room Covers the chip on the kitchen door The paperboy winks as he hands her a paper He's cheekier every day She undoes her apron and sinks on the sofa Throws all her household chores away She's in a fantasy It's not so hard to see That she is living a lie She'll never be the same She shuts her eyes again Waves all her worries goodbye Puts on her make-up And smoothes down her dress And finds the right words to say Holds a remaining spark of beauty Escape is only a romance away Troubles come flooding back with her migraine She trembles and shuts her eyes It's a good thing that friends come in little bottles Time to shake up and prepare for the lies She's in a fantasy It's not so hard to see That she is living a lie She'll never be the same She shuts her eyes again Waves all her worries goodbye Pushing the hair back from her face Shaping her thoughts in the sky Heaven is through her kitchen window "Pity it's only a dream", she sighs Imagines herself as Elizabeth Taylor The paperboy cycles away She turns on the stove Soon her husband is home "Hello dear, it's been such a long day" She's in a fantasy It's not so hard to see That she is living a lie She'll never be the same She shuts her eyes again Waves all her worries goodbye She's in a fantasy It's not so hard to see That she is living a lie She'll never be the same She shuts her eyes again Waves all her worries goodbye |

We've hit those depths again Playing black games again Black mellow lies And the narrowing of eyes Playing those games again You hold the reins again But then I turned the card And you know I hit hard Loving you, hating me It's the other side of love It's the side that you don't want to see Shaking your head that way It's so true when they say That love is a pain in the heart A pain that pulls apart I'm breaking rules again You're breaking hearts again Pretend to despise When there's love in your eyes Loving you, hating me It's the other side of love It's the side that you don't want to see And I'm loving you And you're hating me It's the other side of love It's the other side of love |

Martin is talking to you
Martin is a boy with problems Martin has a family history Martin has too many nightmares He lives in a fantasy There's a danger that he'll take too far His morbid curiosity He's seen too many creepy films He's read too many books Martin sleeps with all the lights on Martin's seen too many looks He lives out a strange obsession Tries hard to resist But Martin needs his strange obsession To exist (Kill, kill, kill) He's far too pale and far too frail To be a normal boy There's something shining in his eyes The things he'd like to say Martin had a lot to live down Growing up in a mining town Torches burning in the trees The shivering lust of blood He's the star of many horror movies But deep inside he's good There's an illness flowing through him That's there all the time And though he watches and he waits He knows he's not to blame The face at the window The hand under the bed Martin has hallucinations Dreams that he's dead He finds the hunger's at its worst When he's in bed (Kill, kill, kill) He's finding hard to keep control He knows it won't be long And his tongue rolls over his dry lips And the voice lingers on |

Atmospheres are tense today Mother and father are rowing again Silently seated around the table You're the one that's getting the blame Father looks at you like a snake You play with the food upon your plate No one seems to be on your side Things that threaten to hurt your pride Mother loves to be concerned Using lessons that she learnt Fathers never understand When children have the upper hand Smiling you did your time at school Crying quietly like a fool Saturday night and Sunday morning Did all the things they asked you to do They say that home is where the heart is But home is only where the hurt is Pull the wool over the eyes Forget the worries that you started Mother loves to be concerned Using lessons that she learnt Fathers never understand When children have the upper hand When you stayed out every night The first time from your parent's sight They started to show some concern But by then it was too late Feel it's time to pull away Shut your ears to all they say Be yourself you know it's true When in the end what's left is you Mother loves to be concerned Using lessons that she learnt Fathers never understand When children have the upper hand |

I'm all out of love
Have I given too much I'm all out of love Because there's never enough I'm all out of love Have I given too much I'm all out of love Drawing up all my years I'm trying to feel something Calling on my lost tears Just trying to feel Summoning all my passion Some place I've long forgotten My anxieties magnify Doctor can you tell me why? I'm all out of love There's never enough I'm all out of love I'm all out of love Have I given too much I'm all out of love So many doubts So many fears All those demons that rise With the years Love came calling But the cupboard was bare I try to find my heart But it wasn't there Am I a spent force? Used up? Washed up? Left out to dry? Is it the same for everybody Doctor can you tell me why? I'm all out of love There's never enough I'm all out of love I'm all out of love Have I given too much I'm all out of love When regret comes to call It's a fear that visits us all Any love that's left is mine To keep me warm For what's left of my time As the final act approaches If I could I'd sit and cry But I'm drained of all emotion Doctor can you tell me why? I'm all out of love There's never enough I'm all out of love I'm all out of love Have I given too much I'm all out of love I'm all out of love I've given too much I'm all out of love Never enough I'm all out of love I'm all out of love All out of love There is nothing left I'm all out of love I'm all out of love I'm all out of love |

As I drive by in my big black car With police outriders And a hundred guards Looking drop dead gorgeous Dressed up to the nines In the skins of several species In decline As I set fire to your houses And your cars I'll be dancing like a dervish In the sparks Is this what true power feels like? Racing round my veins Like a motorbike It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome I'll display you in my game show On TV Called 'Humiliation And Hypocrisy' Throw an orgy for the dissolute And the damned Every kind of deviation On demand So worship me And fall down on your knees Or I'll unleash another Chemical disease Is this what true power feels like? Racing round my veins Like a motorbike It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome Have I become just a little deranged? While you're crawling on your hands and knees Like slaves Am I still desirable? You're ever so destructible Do you think this party's ever going to end? Dance with me While our city is burning Won't you dance with me While our empire is falling Like Nero let's make music to the Fires of Rome It's my Caligula syndrome My Caligula syndrome |

Where do we go from here? Living for trivial information It's a hopeless situation Blinded by lies False Gods and fake religions Ulterior motives and bad intentions Nobody knows what waits round the corner We gotta keep dancing Through the years We gotta keep smiling through our tears Nobody knows where we go from here In these darker times These darker times Why has it come to this Urban decay and revolution Suicide is the only solution Am I being unrealistic To feel so nihilistic Don't judge the stage of my mind 'Cos brother we're two of a kind We gotta keep dancing Through the years We gotta keep smiling Through our tears Nobody knows where we go from here In these darker times We gotta keep dancing Through the years We gotta keep smiling Through our tears Nobody knows where we go from here In these darker times Each night twisting Turning in my bed I'm trying to make sense of it all Is it all in my head?

Somewhere sordid and sublime We met over a gin and lime One rainy evening Survivors clinging to the mast Trying to make the moment last just Two people way past their prime And how it shows So come over here For some romance And dance with me Like it's the last dance And come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love You thought you looked like Carol White Bleached hair piled upon your head but You looked more like a lady of the night Instead In your see-through plastic mac Homage to cheap sixties tack you're So far out You're on your way back in Again I've wasted too many chances On small ads and Internet romances So come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love I toyed with a cigarette Trying to look aloof and sexy But I couldn't see for the smoke In my eyes OK, I have a shaky limp and Dress a little like a pimp but After your drink I'll still look OK In a good light I had some dreams where did they all go Gone with my years Nothing left to show So come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love Come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance For romance Our last chance Come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love This is our last chance This is our last chance for love |

You in the clouds over there
Hanging on with a wing and a prayer Forget your regrets and forgiving Life is not for lasting but living Don't be one of those lonely people Waiting for a bus that never comes Even little dreams are aspirations Out run your limitations I don't want to leave you With a cloud over your head Take some time to reassess And think of what I've said On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up I'm gonna try and leave you on an up Not to cry And leave you on an up I don't blame you If you believe there's no beauty in the world But if you take some time to look You'll find it there for sure Too much cynicism Ridicule and vile derision But if you're guilty then I am too For seeing life through shades of blue Don't want to leave your head Full of dirty streets and falling rain I want to leave you with a little sun Here it comes again On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up I'm gonna try and leave you on an up Not to cry And leave you on an up You in the clouds over there Hanging on with a wing and a prayer We're all part of the same plan Trying to get through life the best we can On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up On an up On an up I'm gonna leave you on an up I'm gonna try and leave you on an up And leave you on an up Not to cry On an up |

Beware
Of his promise Believe What I say Before I go forever Be sure Of what you say So he paints a pretty picture And he tells you that he needs you And he covers you with flowers And he always keeps you dreaming If he always keeps you dreaming You won't have a lonely hour If a day could last forever You might like your ivory tower But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Yeah the night begins to turn your head around Beware Of his promise Believe What I say Before I go forever Be sure Of what you say For the words may come too easy If you don't believe I'm leaving And goodbye will come too quickly If you really think he loves you If you really think he loves you You would give your love so sweetly If that day could last forever You would fall in love completely But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Yeah the night begins to turn your head around But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Yeah the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Oh the night begins to turn your head around Yeah, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night Yeah, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night Oh the night begins to turn your head around |

Another day melts into the evening
I sit alone and watch the stars Remembering times I think of the past Here in my isolation In the solitary situation Reality hurts Where memories last When you whisper my name in the silence You stop my heart with a touch of violence We'll always be Together alone You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone You share in my deepest secrets You're here in my darkest moment Together alone Together alone You know what I'm always thinking You lift my mood when I'm sinking Together alone Together alone When you're here in my arms I'm dreaming of you Life will end when I stop Believing in you Together alone Together alone You're like a shadow At the edge of my eye Like a chill in the air Like a light in the sky Like the endless peace after we die You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone I don't need anybody I don't want anybody I'm on my own Together alone Nobody can understand us Nobody to make demands on us Together alone Together alone And as the bombs are falling I hear a voice that's calling Together alone Together alone You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone Are you listening to me now? Are you listening to me now? Together alone Together alone You're deep in my heart now You're deep in my soul now Together alone Forever alone You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone Together alone Forever alone Are you listening to me now? Are you listening to me now? Together alone Forever alone Together alone Together alone Are you listening to me now? Are you listening to me now? |

I'm having a mid-life crisis
Behaving in strange ways Wandering around the supermarket In a daze I try to fill my head With positive thoughts Try to get a rush From the merchandise I bought Out of my head Out of my head Where do we go When the feelings are dead Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you I tried meditation Crystal therapy Colonic irrigation Didn't agree with me Road rage and new age Just tricks of the mind The onset of middle age Is all that I find Out of my head Out of my head Where do we go When the feelings are dead Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever whatever whatever... Whatever whatever whatever Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes To get me through Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes To stop me missing you Whatever it takes When only you will do I'm having a mid life crisis Help me I'm having a mid life crisis Help me Pour me a drink Chop me a line Roll me a joint Sir, you're credit card's declined |

Baby doll is on her trapeze
Wearing the smile that she never sees Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease Thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease She's thinking of a dollar as she tries to tease Baby doll, baby doll Baby doll, baby doll Time to play Sheba on a wooden stage Taking off the clothes that are grimy with age Rubbing down the skin that is white and cold And the sticking plasters that cover up the holes She stared at by a man that would do her harm She needs to earn the money that will feed his arm He promised you security, safe and warm He promised you security, safe and warm They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside The emptiness you try to hide They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside The emptiness you try to hide Baby doll I would melt your eyes that are glassy and cold And as for the future when you grow old Baby doll, baby doll They'll never know the hurt you feel inside The emptiness you try to hide Take a tiny costume from a pile of clothes Just a touch of glitter and a lot of gold Pick on a failure, make his knees go weak Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak Mouth open, eyes wide, fake your peak Mouth open, eyes wide Mouth open, eyes wide Baby doll He'll wipe a line of dribble running from his mouth You make your wages later when you're back at his house You try to hide the mirror 'cause it's never kind You kickstart the heart that's so hard to find You try to save your beauty and to draw the line You bite your lip when you find it [Incomprehensible] Continue your search for a genuine love Continue your search for a genuine love Continue your search for a genuine love Baby, baby, baby doll Baby, baby, baby doll Baby, baby, baby doll |

Searching through the memory books
Of photographs your lovers took Why play the game of place the pain When you end up feeling just the same Anyway Sleep comes so slowly now So hard to keep the eyelids down And you're hoping soon to drown the sound Of a voice you know that whispers in Your mind Oh, it was a sad, sad day The day you turned away And there was nothing in your eye You had told me once you found it impossible To cry I know you've been there and back I've been there too But it was never really deep in you To do those things you had to do And in your sleepy bedroom eyes I saw the signs And I lay awake all night In the cold Until the light burned my side And there was nothing There was nothing anymore And there was nothing Not a feeling As you glanced back from the door Move away to find another place That illustrates your point of view Surrounded by the little things That re-assure That reflect you Ooooo and there was nothing And there was nothing in my heart And there was nothing in my head The light in your eyes is changing all the time And I still have your smile Burned into my mind |

Sunday morning going slow
I'm talking to the radio Clothes and record on the floor Memories of the night before Out in clubland having fun And now I'm hiding from the sun Waiting for a visitor Though no-one knows I'm here for sure Chorus: Dancing laughing Drinking loving And now I'm all alone In bedsit land My only home I think it's time to cook a meal To fill the emptiness I feel Spent my money going out I've nothing I'm left without Clean my teeth and comb my hair Look for something new to wear Start the nightlife over again Kid myself I'm having fun Chorus I look out from my window view There's really nothing else to do Read a book maybe write a letter Mother, things are getting better Watch the mirror count the lines The battle scars of all the good times Look around and I can see A thousand people just like me Chorus I'm waiting for something I'm only passing time [For purchasers of the 7" version, the song stops here. For purchasers of the 12" version, there are the additional lines:] Do you look a mess? Do you have a hangover? Did you overdo the lemonade Cut short on the soda? Did you do that dance the doctor Told you that you shouldn't do? But you're only young You should do that dance twice over I knew it's pretty early But you still look great Just ready for the beauty That the make up will create Take a little blusher Take a little paint Put on the silver dress The one that makes the young boys faint I'm sitting on my bed And I'm looking at the time Have a cup of coffee And you're feeling fine Put on that new record That you bought the other day The words will make you smile You can dance the dust away Make your single bed And push the tea leaves down the drain Take a long deep breath And start the nightlife over again I'm waiting for someone I'm only passing time And now I'm all alone And I don't care And I don't care Bedsitter Bedsitter And I don't care I don't care Bedsitter Bedsitter (Repeat and fade...) |

I want to see you crawl
As I drive by in my big black car With police outriders And a hundred guards Looking drop dead gorgeous Dressed up to the nines In the skins of several species In decline As I set fire to your houses And your cars I'll be dancing like a dervish In the sparks Is this what true power feels like? Racing round my veins Like a motorbike It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome I'll display you in my game show On TV Called 'Humiliation And Hypocrisy' Throw an orgy for the dissolute And the damned Every kind of deviation On demand So worship me And fall down on your knees Or I'll unleash another Chemical disease Is this what true power feels like? Racing round my veins Like a motorbike It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome It's the fall of Rome My Caligula syndrome Have I become just a little deranged? While you're crawling on your hands and knees Like slaves Am I still desirable? You're ever so destructible Do you think this party's ever going to end? Dance with me While our city is burning Won't you dance with me While our empire is falling Like Nero let's make music to the Fires of Rome It's my Caligula syndrome My Caligula syndrome |

It was the heat of the night I think
Or it could've been the effect of the drink But I had to brush away the flies That started to collect around your eyes I've still the taste of the sweat and the dust You're still playing games and abusing my trust In the heat of the night In the glow of the light It's the back and the bite That's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego Do you need them for sex It was a bite of a night gone wrong And the effect of listening to negative songs Stuck in a love scene from blood and sand And the way the room keeps spinning around I steal the taste of the sweat and the dust (Now I know what they mean by looks can kill) You're still playing games and abusing my trust (And they're having a strange effect on the way I feel) In the heat of the night In the glow of the light It's the back and the bite That's feeling alright Do you use up bodies like cigarettes Do you need them for ego Do you need them for sex And you're moaning about your wasted life Lying there listening to "Spanish Eyes" With the cups on the floor And the plates in the sink And the room full of smoke And then you full of drink You skin's going dry And the color of sand Ignore the cigarette burning your hand |

It was the morning after the month before
And I'm looking like a nose with eyes Take a trip or letter to make me feel better 'Cause I know my mirror never lies Have you ever had the feeling that your life's down the can(?) And the hand that holds the whip is not your own Your breakfast's going cold and your routine's getting old Is it me, this feeling insecure? Hiding in the darkness where they can't see your eyes In a naked city cinema Watch the bodies rolling around on the screen And nobody gives a damn who you are You're surrounded by the bitter and the boring And you wonder if you're on the turn And again you get hurt when they're dishing the dirt Is it me, this feeling insecure? I haven't got time to worry 'bout the future Well I'm busy covering up my past Start to consider a tuck(?) behind my ears Well I wonder if my looks will last I could hit the bottle and the depths of despair But come up fighting like the best And I can tell myself that I'm winning the war But then again I'm different than the rest I'm not the hardest person in the world But like the song says 'I will survive' And I may be a wreck and a pain in the neck But at least I feel that I'm alive So I'll spit in your face and put you over the place If I'm ever feeling so unsure And you can really go to hell if you give me the soft cell It's not me, this feeling insecure It was the morning after the month before And I'm looking like a nose with eyes Take a trip or letter to make me feel better 'Cause I know my mirror never lies Have you ever had the feeling that your life's down the can(?) And the hand that holds the whip is not your own Your breakfast's going cold and your routine's getting old Is it me, this feeling insecure? [Rap by Cindy Ecstacy - 12" only:] Forget the lows, just live the highs And wipe the make up from my eyes Forget the faces that I despise As I know my mirror never lies I come up fighting like the best But then I'm better than the rest And I wonder how my looks will last Because my love is really fast And you wonder if you're on the turn Oh baby won't you ever learn That I'm a cut above the rest Don't worry 'bout the way I'm dressed And if my make up looks a mess I'm not about to get depressed 'Cause I'm the one that loves to lose Just a loser in my fucking(?) shoes And I've got the touch and I've got the feel To make a good time really real I'll just spit right in your face And push you all around the face Just love to love, just love to live Just love to live, just love to love And baby are you so so sure That you're the one that's insecure? |

In a city lost in time
Somewhere sordid and sublime We met over a gin and lime One rainy evening Survivors clinging to the mast Trying to make the moment last just Two people way past their prime And how it shows So come over here For some romance And dance with me Like it's the last dance And come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love You thought you looked like Carol White Bleached hair piled upon your head but You looked more like a lady of the night Instead In your see-through plastic mac Homage to cheap sixties tack you're So far out You're on your way back in Again I've wasted too many chances On small ads and Internet romances So come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love I toyed with a cigarette Trying to look aloof and sexy But I couldn't see for the smoke In my eyes OK, I have a shaky limp and Dress a little like a pimp but After your drink I'll still look OK In a good light I had some dreams where did they all go Gone with my years Nothing left to show So come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love Come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance For romance Our last chance Come home with me Won't you come home with me This is our last chance for love This is our last chance This is our last chance for love |

We've hit those depths again Playing black games again Black mellow lies And the narrowing of eyes Playing those games again You hold the reins again But then I turned the card And you know I hit hard Loving you, hating me It's the other side of love It's the side that you don't want to see Shaking your head that way It's so true when they say That love is a pain in the heart A pain that pulls apart I'm breaking rules again You're breaking hearts again Pretend to despise When there's love in your eyes Loving you, hating me It's the other side of love It's the side that you don't want to see And I'm loving you And you're hating me It's the other side of love It's the other side of love |

Martin is talking to you
Martin is a boy with problems Martin has a family history Martin has too many nightmares He lives in a fantasy There's a danger that he'll take too far His morbid curiosity He's seen too many creepy films He's read too many books Martin sleeps with all the lights on Martin's seen too many looks He lives out a strange obsession Tries hard to resist But Martin needs his strange obsession To exist (Kill, kill, kill) He's far too pale and far too frail To be a normal boy There's something shining in his eyes The things he'd like to say Martin had a lot to live down Growing up in a mining town Torches burning in the trees The shivering lust of blood He's the star of many horror movies But deep inside he's good There's an illness flowing through him That's there all the time And though he watches and he waits He knows he's not to blame The face at the window The hand under the bed Martin has hallucinations Dreams that he's dead He finds the hunger's at its worst When he's in bed (Kill, kill, kill) He's finding hard to keep control He knows it won't be long And his tongue rolls over his dry lips And the voice lingers on |

Always the dreamer
But never the dead You had a rocky road mapped out somewhere in your head Anyone in your way Was a spike in your side With one hand in the wallet You took them for the ride Your could look in their eyes You perfected a lie Never gave them the chance to question why If they hit on you Then you slammed them right back To hell with the cool It was up and attack You should have seen you when you were 18 You were the toughest little f... I've ever seen And with each downfall you turned 10 foot tall The biggest kick in the balls you've ever been And Dr Diablo's on his rounds again Looking for blame And you know that he'll diagnose pain again Yeah pain again Narrow the sorrow Sick of the slick Of the doors of discovery you had you pick If they hit on you Then you hit right back Never keeping their cool It was up and attack Your could look in their eyes You perfected a lie Never gave them the chance to question why If they hit on you Then you slammed them right back To hell with the cool It was up and attack Whoa you're feeling so torrid today Life has gone wild No one blocks out the way You even look good - so they say A new lease of life flowed through your body today (not that looks are all to go by - but anyway) Shooting the A, Shooting the A, Shooting the A The stuff is free And you can now go to town Building your life up and smashing it down Building your life up and smashing it down You couldn't escape from this fact of life That existing makes you a mess But every decision or feeling or reason Causes some sort of mental distress Your could look in their eyes You perfected a lie Never gave them the chance to question why If they hit on you Then you slammed them right back To hell with the cool It was up and attack Leave the cool for the fool Leave the cool for the fool Leave the cool for the fool Leave the cool for the fool Hey hey You couldn't escape from this fact of life That existing makes you a mess But every decision or feeling or reason Causes some sort of mental distress Your could look in their eyes You perfected a lie Never gave them the chance to question why If they hit on you Then you slammed them right back To hell with the cool It was up and attack Hey Building your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A) And smashing it down Building your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A) And smashing it down Building your life up (shooting the A, shooting the A) And smashing it down |

Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo
Crying in the rain It was a kind of so so love And I'm going to make sure it never Happens again You and I It had to be The standing joke of the year You were a sleep around A lost and found And not for me I fear I tried to make it work You in a cocktail skirt And me in a suit (Well it just wasn't me) You're used to wearing less And now you're life's a mess So insecure you see I put up with all the scenes And this is one scene That's going to be played my way Chorus: Take your hands off me I don't belong to you, you see Take a look at my face For the last time I never knew you You never knew me Say hello Goodbye Say hello wave goodbye Under the deep red light I can see the makeup sliding down Hey little girl you will always make up So take off that unbecoming frown What about me- well I'll find someone That's not going cheap in the sales A nice little housewife Who'll give me a steady life And won't keep going off the rails Chorus We've been involved For quite a while now And to keep you secret has been hell We're strangers meeting for the first time O.K.? Just smile and say hello Say hello then wave goodbye GOODBYE |

The wind in my hair
And the black in my eyes I was holding back tears As I reeled with surprise There was no one to phone I just chewed at the time I was waving goodbye To control of my mind And the beat of my heart Marks the passing of time And I just wanna scream to the sky There are times when my mind is an explosion of feelings I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside I go looking for lies But I couldn't find the way out In your play-the-game eyes The where's or the why's Should I laugh Should I cry Should I live Should I die? It's a wild celebration of feelings inside And the beat of my heart Marks the passing of time And I just wanna scream to the sky And there are times when my mind is an explosion of feelings I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside (x3) (I've got to hold on to the soul inside) Inside... It's a wild celebration (It's a wild) It a wild celebration of feelings inside And it's tearing me... And it's tearing me up It's a wild... It's a wild celebration of feelings inside It's a wild... it's a wild... Celebration of feelings inside And I'm trying to hold on And I'm trying to hold on And I'm trying Hold on.... Feelings.... inside.... |

Falling through at the seams
Living life in a dream Even smiles make a lie And I smile all the time I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever Trying all of the vices Is what's doing the damage All the good things are bad things And I'm paying the prices I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm covered in bruises From mixing with losers It's the black and the blue That's seeing me through My cigarette diet Means my throat hurts like Hell My friends say I'm dying But I do it so well Thank you I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever Together forever Together forever It's the holding together Together forever Together forever It's the holding together Together forever Together forever |

Of his promise Believe What I say Before I go forever Be sure Of what you say So he paints a pretty picture And he tells you that he needs you And he covers you with flowers And he always keeps you dreaming If he always keeps you dreaming You won't have a lonely hour If a day could last forever You might like your ivory tower But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Yeah the night begins to turn your head around Beware Of his promise Believe What I say Before I go forever Be sure Of what you say For the words may come too easy If you don't believe I'm leaving And goodbye will come too quickly If you really think he loves you If you really think he loves you You would give your love so sweetly If that day could last forever You would fall in love completely But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Yeah the night begins to turn your head around But the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Yeah the night begins to turn your head around And you know you're gonna lose more than you found Oh the night begins to turn your head around Yeah, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night Yeah, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night Oh the night begins to turn your head around |

Another day melts into the evening
I sit alone and watch the stars Remembering times I think of the past Here in my isolation In the solitary situation Reality hurts Where memories last When you whisper my name in the silence You stop my heart with a touch of violence We'll always be Together alone You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone You share in my deepest secrets You're here in my darkest moment Together alone Together alone You know what I'm always thinking You lift my mood when I'm sinking Together alone Together alone When you're here in my arms I'm dreaming of you Life will end when I stop Believing in you Together alone Together alone You're like a shadow At the edge of my eye Like a chill in the air Like a light in the sky Like the endless peace after we die You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone I don't need anybody I don't want anybody I'm on my own Together alone Nobody can understand us Nobody to make demands on us Together alone Together alone And as the bombs are falling I hear a voice that's calling Together alone Together alone You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone Are you listening to me now? Are you listening to me now? Together alone Together alone You're deep in my heart now You're deep in my soul now Together alone Forever alone You're a breath in my ear You're a word in my mind I'm here on my own Just two of a kind Together alone Together alone Together alone Forever alone Are you listening to me now? Are you listening to me now? Together alone Forever alone Together alone Together alone Are you listening to me now? Are you listening to me now? |

I'm lost again
And I'm on the run Looking for love In a sad song With your avenger eyes And your cat like ways I can hold you You're a fool for me to be cruel I'm leaning on this bar Listening to you sing And your sad song Rings in my ears And I start to cry Chorus 1 He's searching She's showing See him held in a deep deep spell He knows she's glowing I can find within my mind A way to go I can look deep into your life and shout Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me... I hear the saxophone And it tears my soul And they're feeling old Feeling so cold She is the torch And she is the theme She could be a dream But oh boy, is she real? Try to avoid her eyes To avoid her words They will hit you With all that you feel Chorus 1 Chorus 2 See her eyes they are bright tonight See the stars coming out tonight See the moon looking down tonight See how they light your way tonight See my eyes they are bright tonight See my hands reaching out tonight Hear my words they are dynamite See how they light your way tonight 12 |

Baby, baby, baby don't leave me.
Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself. I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me. Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad. You came into my heart (baby, baby) so tenderly, With a burning love (baby, baby) That stings like a bee (baby, baby). Now that I surrender (baby, baby) so helplessly, You now want to leave (baby, baby). Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby, baby). Ooh (baby, baby). Baby, baby, where did our love go? Ooh, don't you want me? Don't you want me no more (baby, baby)? Ooh, baby. Baby, baby, where did our love go? And all your promises of a love forevermore! I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me. Ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad. Before you won my heart (baby, baby) You were a perfect guy. But now that you got me, You wanna leave me behind (baby, baby). Ooh, baby. Baby, baby, baby don't leave me. Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself (baby, baby). Ooh. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HOLLAND, EDWARD, JR./HOLLAND, BRIAN/DOZIER, LAMONT HERBERT <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Youth has gone
I heard you say It doesn't matter Anyway Don't hide the photos Or turn off the lights I'm quite sure we've both seen Funnier sights Youth Sleep in a deep deep deep Beauty is skin deep Youth has gone Though we're still young It's hard I know to believe That I was somebody's son The memories Of what you once were The memories of what We both were Youth has gone Though don't think I don't cry We let ourselves slip And now I ask myself why I'm on my own And don't think I really mind When after all The years have been fairly kind Youth Sleep in a deep deep deep Beauty is skin deep Sleep in a deep deep deep Beauty is skin deep Youth...Youth...Sleep! |
