You've got red shoes, and the sports car
You think you're really cool, I gotta say
You just don't know what games to play
You like football, and play on Saturdays
When the weekends gone, you go to work
In a nasty office as a filing clerk
So don't you tell me, I'm not listening
I've already heard it
You better watch your back
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
Mobile, but no conversation
You've got credit cards, Megadrive
Fax me lunch, Mister 9 to 5
You've got timeshare, for your holidays
It's the same routine, the life you lead,
The friends you keep, your lack of taste
So don't you tell me, I'm not listening
I've already heard it
You better watch your back
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on, I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on
I'm gonna take you on
Take me on, take me on, take me on
I'm gonna take you on
Take me on, take me on, take me on,
I'm gonna take you on

I want everything, I want everything
I want a limousine, a diamond ring
I want everything
I wanna taste the good life
I wanna sip from the golden cup
I wanna drink champagne in the early morning hours of the city nights
And if I stay out late
Don't wait up for me
I want
One dove, two hearts
A free ride to be who I wanna be
One life, one vision
Street life just for the hell of it
One dove, two hearts
A free ride to be who I wanna be
One life, one vision, one vision
I want the best of both worlds
I want total attraction
I want a piece of the cake,
A piece of the action
I'm gonna take it to the limit
And get more than I bargained for
There's no regrets, make no mistake
I gonna get what I want
Whatever it takes
And if I push too far don't wait up for me
I want
One dove two hearts
A free ride to be who I wanna be
One life, one vision
Street life just for the hell of it
One dove, two hearts
A free ride to be who I wanna be
One life, one vision, one vision
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I want everything
I wanna sip from the golden cup
I wanna drink champagne
I wanna sip from the golden cup
I wanna drink champagne
I want everything
I want everything

One more day on the roller coaster
If I scream they spin me faster
Everything gone backwards
And its upside down
Stop me dead oh I think I'm falling
Falling from the fourteenth story
One more line and it will be morning
Hit the floor
So stop the traffic
Stop the clock, stop the lot
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
One more job in the supermarket
One more kick to get me started
Everyone get on board
This ship is sinking
Hanging out I don't want to be there
Took a train to another city
Chinese food in a tower block frenzy
Why I'm here is mystery to me
So stop the traffic
Stop the clock, stop the lot
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
Like a speeding car you want more! more! more!
Like a rattlesnake I hate
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
Get off
Get off
Like a speeding car you want more! more! more!
Like a rattlesnake I hate
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you
I wanna get off, I wanna get off with you

Get up, alarm clock, lip gloss, what a shock!
Get dressed, front door, more stress what for?
Trapped in your world
You know you're trappped in your world
Lunch hour, fast food, telephone, more abuse

Poor cow, sits alone, pubs closed, go home

Marilyn baby, wants to be a pop star
She's seventeen, and very unhappy
Frankie baby, used to be a big fish
He's ethnic boy and ain't got no money
And Holly wouldn't be so precious
If the beach bum beauties
Weren't so delicious in Hollywood
Who cares anyway?
Who really cares anyway?
Who cares anyway?
Who really cares anyway?
Frankie baby, sees punks on the sidewalk
Freaks on the freeway
Someone blows a kid away
Have a nice day
Sweet sweet Marilyn
A streetwise heroine
A tricks, a fix, a fix, a tricks, a fix, a fix
She'll do anything
And Holly woudn't be so tragic
When everybody trips the light fantastic
In Hollywood
Who cares anyway? Who really cares anyway?
Who cares anyway? Who really cares anyway?
In the Hollywood bowl of serial killers
Who cares anyway?
Holly don't give a damn
Holly don't give a damn
Who cares anyway? Who really cares anyway?
Who cares anyway? Who really cares anyway?
In the Hollywood bowl of serial killers

No Android dreamt of Victoria or tube station allergens
Just allergic to the 20th century
But hating every morning
Shouting out but nobody hears
She said she loved someone
But it didn't begin
So each morning - I'm calling
From the rush hour with love
From the rush hour with love
From the rush hour with love
Stop sleeping, stop sleeping
I came back as an insect
But in another space and time
I could love and share and feel my feet in the sand
Stuck down the back of the Westway
Time check 8:15
He said he loved someone
But he didn't love him
So each morning - I'm calling
From the rush hour with love (get up wake up)
From the rush hour with love (gonna get gonna get gone)
From the rush hour with love (get up - stop)
Stop sleeping (sleeping) stop sleeping (sleeping)
From the rush hour with love
From the rush hour with love (gonna get gonna get gone)
From the rush hour with love (get up wake up)
(Get up)
Stop sleeping (sleeping) stop sleeping (sleeping)

Ice cold, Heart stone
You want fresh meat, But I won't eat it
You can't touch me, Your insides ugly
It's a slap in the face, But you gave it away
You give in to fame
Then, you found yourself high
And you're gonna feel low
And you find yourself colder than the winter
Can't bare to be alone
Faded man
Ice cold, Bare bones
You take flesh and you take asprin,
Glad I faked it, 'Cos now its ended
'Cos you found yourself high, Now you're going below
When your throat becomes dry, And you wanna go home
Faded man
But the airports are closed, And your credit card knows
Your honesty's left back on the runway
Screaming for the phone, It's the fading of a man
Like a slap in the face, But you gave it away
You gave in to fame
Then, you found yourself high
And you're gonna feel low
And you find yourself colder than the winter
Melting like the snow
Faded man
And you find yourself high, Now your going below
And your faces are changing like the seasons
Breaking like a bone
It's the fading of a man

Jimmy came down from the northwest, Said there's a couple of things
I want to get off my chest, Like eat some food you're looking like a ghost
And how come you always hurt, The ones that you love most
I've pulled myself together, It tore us apart
I've been on the M1 for most of the night
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and I've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
And Jimmy said words I hadn't heard before
Like licentiousness and what about getting a job
But the blood in your body as you're coming down
It stings like the cold wind, That blows round your friends
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and I've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
Like a moon soaked summer night, On a rainy Westbourne Park day
We're together we're apart, Hell I'm crazy I'm wrong and you're right
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and I've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and I've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And I lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
Just try everything just try everything

Future you, Future me
You make the whole damn day feel longer
It's taking me over, It makes me feel older
Creature you, Creature me
I shed my coat, But it turned winter
Just look at the weather
It's raining forever
But I could stay, Stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Yeah I could stay, Stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful masquerade
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Future you, Future me
I shut myself out from the world now
The sounds getting so loud
You're making me spin round
But I could stay, Stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Yeah I could stay, Stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful waste of space
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Future you, Future me
I guess I'll have to set my sights higher
I'm too near a liar, It makes my feel tired
But I could stay, Stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (I don't think so)
Yeah I could stay, Stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful waste of space
I don't think so (I don't think so)

My skin creeps
I'd like to sleep
World get up without me
Another day that I'll hate

And it takes so long
And the people come
And it's every freezing morning
Sometimes they never come at all

Just sitting here with shoes and perfume
Make up and the mirror
Just give it up, Let me out
Out of here, Faster don't stop

Get me out, Out of here
Faster faster
My feet on fire
Yeah he's a liar

Playing judge and jury
I'll just pretend he's someone else
And the phone can ring and I won't begin now
To say that I'm not your baby

I kind of wished I never was
Not stayin' here
With you the rent the red bills
And the tears

Just give it up
Let me out
Out of here
Faster

Don't stop
Get me out
Out of here
Faster faster

Faster faster
Faster faster

She said she'd lie for you,
She said she'd die for you
She said she'd fly in the sky,
Said she'd cry for you
She said she's proud of you,
And that she loves you too
Put on a show 'cause she knows,
What you're going through
She says I'm looking rough,
I'm on a diet and stuff
And now it's all gone wrong,
Oh she knows that it's tough
She says she'll do what she can,
'Cause she's my Number One fan
Take advice don't fight,
What he told her last night
Do you want to know about us,
She's got pretty girl hate
Funny how a so called friend,
Delete everything she said
Apologies they come too late,
She tells pretty girl lies
Every single time,
She's got pretty girl hate
But then she changed her tune,
In just one afternoon
Hates my guts won't stop,
'Til I'm out the room
She let the rumors fly,
She's got a devious mind
Attitude bitter fruit,
And an evil eye
It's not a part of my life,
She's got pretty girl hate
Funny how a so called friend,
Delete everything she said
Apologies they come too late,
She tells pretty girl lies

All the time
You do everything in spite,
Your jealousy
Is deep inside,
Pretty girl
It's not a part of my life,
Do you want to know about it
She's got pretty girl hate,
Funny how a so called friend
Delete everything she said,
Apologies they come too late
She tells pretty girl lies,
Black and white
All the time,
You do everything in spite
Your jealousy,
Is deep inside,
She's got pretty girl hate
Every single time,
Every single night
Every single time,
She's got pretty girl

On Heavenly Sunday as
he touches your insides
He said the last thing on
my mind was to cheat on you
Go down Queensway
as you start another fight
You know it spoils
my appetite you're a selfish boy
Just sit and wonder as
your dreams go up in smoke
You're stealing cars and selling dope
Now you've sold your soul
And I'm hanging out with Mortal Combat 2
And Haagen-Daaz and early Cure
How I miss you so
