It was a filthy block of flats Trash was on the floor A stink was in my nose Hinges off the doors
She took me in her room All was spic and span Fixed me up a drink Turned down all the lamps
And the rain fell down On the cold hard ground And the phone kept ringing And we made sweet love
Why do we live in this strange grey town? They build it up and let it all fall down Feel like we're living in a battleground Everybody's jazzed
Why do we live in this strange grey town? The paint is peeling and the sky turned brown The bankers are wankers, every Thursday night They just vomit on that ground
And the rain fell down The cold grey town And the phone kept ringing And we made sweet love And we made sweet love
Everybody's dreaming Everybody's scheming Watching the rain fall down
She cooked me up some eggs Then she made some tea Kissed me on the cheek And I turned on her TV
It was all the usual crap All the usual sleaze For ten thousand quid Some bimbo spilled the beans, yeah
And the rain fell down On the cold grey town And the phone kept ringing And we made sweet love And we made sweet love, yeah
And the rain fell down And we made, and we made, and we made sweet love And the phone kept, the phone kept ringing, yeah
Yeah And the phone kept ringing The phone kept ringing, yeah And the rain... rain... rain... rain.... Rain... rain... rain... rain... rain... rain...
Love is strong and you're so sweet You make me hard you make me weak Love is strong and you're so sweet And some day, babe we got to meet
A glimpse of you was all it took A stranger's glance it got me hooked And I followed you across the stars I looked for you in seedy bars
What are you scared of, baby It's more than just a dream I need some time We make a beautiful team Beautiful team
Love is strong and you're so sweet And some day, babe we got to meet Just anywhere out in the park Out on the street and in the dark I followed you through swirling seas Down darkened woods with silent trees
Your love is strong and your so sweet You make me hard you make me weak
I wait for you until the dawn My mind is ripped my heart is torn And love is strong and your so sweet Your love is bitter it's taken neat
I was a butcher cutting up meat My hands were bloody I'm dying on my feet I was a surgeon 'till I start to shake I was a falling 'till you put on the brakes
Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey you got me rocking now
I was a pitcher down in a slump I was a fighter taken for a sucker punch Feeling bad I guess I lost my spring I was the boxer who can't get in the ring
Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey there ain't no stopping me Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey you got me rocking now
I was a hooker losing her looks I was a writer can't write another book I was all dried up dying to get wet I was a tycoon drowning in debt
Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey there ain't no stopping me Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey you got me rocking now Hey, hey you got me rocking now
You'd better grease up I'm coming back You're going to catch fire Pyromaniac You'd better shape up You'd better get set I'm gonna burn up In the smoke of a jet
Sparks will fly When I finally get myself back on you, baby Sparks will fly When I finally get myself back to you baby You're going to find out Going to scream and shout We're going to pierce through this drought Sparks will fly, sparks will fly
You'd better stand back The flames are high Better get help Can't stop the fire Bell's going to ring Hear the alarms Better tell the fire chief To quit playing cards
Sparks will fly When I finally get myself back on you, baby Sparks will fly When I finally get myself back on you, baby I'm gonna step on the gas I want to get there really fast I want to fuck your sweet ass Sparks will fly Sharks will cry Sparks will fly
I had a good sniff around Along old hunting grounds But I have never found A woman so hot
Sparks will fly When I finally get myself back on you, baby Sparks will fly When I finally get myself back to you, baby My fingers are crossed The time that we lost I'm in total chaos Sparks will fly Sparks will fly Sparks will fly
Well I said from the first I am the worst kind of guy For you to be around Tear me apart Including this old heart That is true And never ever let you down
You shouldn't stick with me You trust me too much, you see Take all the pain It's yours anyway Yeah kid...
Oh, put the blame on me You ought to pass, you see Somewhere outside I threw love aside Now it's a tragedy
I said from the first I am the worst kind of guy For you to be around
