Here we are where we were back on everything Went too far now we're fine back on everything So much for making it day by day Back on everything Instead of taking another way we're back on everything
I want a positive role model I want a positive role model
My reflection on the street Is that the way I walk? Introspection as I speak I need to change the way I talk In a changing world there's so much you could be Why can't you choose your self like your enemy? Have you ever imagined a new you? I could be someone else Somebody new
Reinvention: my intention
I want a positive role model I want a positive role model I want a positive role model I want a positive role model
Never been closer to heaven Never been further away Give me hope Give me all your love Tell me now You're coming home tonight Have some faith In the love we share Is it fate? Does darkness end in light? Never been closer to heaven Never been further away
Where'd you go? Did you lose your way? Tell me now You're coming back to stay In my hopes Paradise is real Horoscopes Can't forecast how we'll feel Never been closer to heaven Never been further away
Give me hope Give me hope Never been closer to heaven Never been further away Give me hope Give me hope
BILLIE Run girl, run Away from the sun Napalm burns all over your body. Cameras roll, photographers shoot. The western world would like to say sorry A whore or a nun What do you want to be? Joan of Arc or TV?
SHELL Of all the boys in all the world I had to choose this one Where'd he come from? Dumb and deluded young and confused suddenly gay Who'd be in my shoes? It had to be me who found out the truth after catching him with the roughest youth Now I've ripped away his mask don't turn to me and ask...
BABES What's the matter with you, girl?
SHELL Isn't it obvious?
BABES What's the matter with you, girl?

I'm gonna get him out of my system Get him out of my system Get him out of my system I'm getting him out of my system I'm gonna get him out of my system Get him out of my system Get him out of my system I’m getting him out of my system
BABES Uh-oh, girlfriend, wounded pride! Your boyfriend bats for the other side! You're sure we're not gonna suddenly find Tomorrow morning you change your mind?
SHELL My decision is implacable because we're not compatible sexually eventually after three months sleeping in my bed every night held me tight and this is what does in my head! He runs off with his pride and joy a young, drug-dealing, East End boy!
BABES We get the picture Yes, we see what you're going through but what you gonna do?

Brother, it don't matter Sister, don't worry Say what you like I'll do what you want me to do You're a vampire I'm a vampire too
Sun in the kitchen Boy, you're still sleeping When you get hungry I'll do what you want me to do You're a vampire I'm a vampire too
Night in the city New Orleans pretty Do what you want and then can I do it for you? You're a vampire I'm a vampire too You're a vampire I'm a vampire too
It's a reflex Just a reflex like fear for sex
Brother, it don't matter Sister, don't worry Say what you like I'll do what you want me to do You're a vampire I'm a vampire too You're a vampire I'm a vampire too
Brother, it don't matter Sister, don't worry Brother, it don't matter Sister, don't worry
I know what you think It's clear as mud in your eyes We're the plastic poseurs and prostitutes You've obviously come to despise But you don't know nothing You're not hot enough to matter You don't understand it's the glamorous life A dream that no one can shatter We're shameless We will do anything To get our fifteen minutes of fame We have no integrity We're ready to crawl To obtain celebrity We'll do anything at all I'm ambitious Believe me I'm going to be big I'm a slave to glamour Applause and clamour My makeup my wardrobe my wigs Don't call me pathetic I'm harder than you'll ever guess Relentlessly tough for when the going gets rough The tough get their picture in the press We're shameless We will do anything To get our fifteen minutes of fame We have no integrity We're ready to crawl To obtain celebrity We'll do anything at all
Tell me you love me Admit it you're really impressed Would it not amuse you For me to seduce you Have you ever seen me undressed We're shameless We will do anything To get our fifteen minutes of fame We have no integrity We're ready to crawl To obtain celebrity We'll do anything at all We're shameless We will do anything To get our fifteen minutes of fame We have no integrity We're ready to craw l to obtain celebrity We'll do anything With anyone Go absolutely any where For anything At all
BILLIE An inspirational tirade against me How to explain my life? Girls to the left of me boys to the right of me neither husband nor wife
Though the days are filled with pain there is no one who'll explain why I'm coming under friendly fire shot in the fatal cause of rock-and-roll but there's no-one, really no-one, to say: Why I endure under force majeure slandered without shame or tact I who studied make-up, mime and Buddha who taught two generations to react
About me the critics lied I ignored them and survived in spite of coming under friendly fire shot in the fatal cause of rock-and-roll But there's nothing, really nothing, to deny
When I look back my eyes are filled with tears Danger to mascara, applause to my peers
When fame sustained me and arenas acclaimed me I floated through life on a cloud of love and insanity and pagan profanity before a worshipping crowd
Now my status is ill-defined As an icon I'm inclined to be coming under friendly fire shot in the fatal cause of rock-and-roll but whatever dull or clever points they've scored I have never, oh no never, been ignored
BOB: I have to admit I'm an absolute shit But at least you can't call me a hypocrite I don't want fame or the critics' acclaim Take it from me that's a pointless game I've got a minder a chauffeur, a flunkey 'cause I’m the organ-grinder not the monkey
Call me old-fashioned At least I know what I like Call me old-fashioned If you're so wet Why don't you get on your bike? Call me old-fashioned At least I'm moving ahead Call me old-fashioned If I can't charm you I'll just strong-arm you to bed
The moment I see you with your trousers dropped Will be as rewarding as just having shopped All of the names that I've spent years collecting They're the only things that are worth respecting Prada and Porsche and Philippe Starck The only little problem is where to park
Call me old-fashioned You're all so quick to condemn Call me old-fashioned Until you learn How much I earn and I spend Call me old-fashioned and I've been called worse than muck Call me old-fashioned but understand What I've got planned won't be luck
Sex is fun and sex sells, honey A shiny dream to make me money Where the sea is blue, the sky is sunny Love is hot and suprisingly
Old-fashioned I'll make love down the phone Call me tomorrow I'll give you breaks I'll be as long as it takes to your home Call me old-fashioned At least I'm moving ahead Call me old-fashioned If I can't charm you I'll just strong-arm you to bed Where you can be old-fashioned with me
Father: In denial, no my life's a trial I'm not denying that every little bit hurts It's a problem that I'm not solving Don't mind admitting I feel like quitting this job for a while, getting away before it gets any worse today
Daughter: You're in denial and that is final You're not admitting you should be quitting all these queens and fairies and muscle Marys the rough trade boyfriend who in his pathetic own way denies he's gay Why can't you see? This is a fantasy world
Father: Think I'm going mad How d'you know if you're going mad?
Daughter: Look at me I'm lonely
Father: Look at me I'm sad
I'm not denying I could be trying a little harder to deal with some of this stuff
Daughter: Know what I'm thinking? Less drugs and drinking No cigarettes and you'd feel a little less rough
Father: Is that enough? My life is absurd, I'm living it upside down like a vampire, working at night, sleeping all day A dad with a girl who knows he's gay
Never been closer to heaven Never been further away Give me hope Give me all your love Tell me now You're coming home tonight Have some faith In the love we share Is it fate? Does darkness end in light? Never been closer to heaven Never been further away
Where'd you go? Did you lose your way? Tell me now You're coming back to stay In my hopes Paradise is real Horoscopes Can't forecast how we'll feel Never been closer to heaven Never been further away
Give me hope Give me hope Never been closer to heaven Never been further away Give me hope Give me hope
DAVE What am I now? Another boy becoming man who wants to change who's not afraid I've had to run from boring streets and bitter priests from smoking gun and stern parade
For when you're living on your own without a girlfriend or a home people speculate but I'm much stronger than them
I want to be something special I want to be something special
Now I play the London game A hand-to-mouth existence 'til someone calls my name
I want it now My chance has come and I will grab it just to change the way I am I understand the plans you make the risks you take the way you can when you're a man
And if I sometimes have to do the things I've always wanted to I won't shy away Because I'm much harder than that
I want to be something special I want to be something special
Now I play the London game A hand-to-mouth existence 'til someone calls my name
I want to be something special I want to be something special
