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! |

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 |

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> |

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 |

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 . . . |

(Gloria Jones)
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? Oh, baby baby Don't you leave me no more I've got this burning, burning yearning feeling inside me Deep inside me And it hurts so bad Baby, baby Where did our love go? Don't you leave me Don't you leave me no more And now that I've surrendered so helplessly You know, I believe you want to leave me Baby, baby Where did our love go? |

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.

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...

Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo

My supermarket trolley
Glides around the shelves Of frozen foods My supermarket trolley Glides around the shelves Of pre-packed goods It rattles an accompaniment To the droning from the speakers When I knock a jar (checkout 5) I stand and stare oblivious as it shatters (will the manager please go to checkout 5) Someone passes by We near collide She's silent but she's frantic Can't figure out why she's bought so many useless items (checkout 5, will the manager please go to checkout 5) I can't figure out why I've bought so many useless items (there is a problem at checkout 5) I only wanted cigarettes (will you investigate please) I push my trolley further (will you investigate please) I glide around the frozen goods Lost in here forever Lost in here forever Lost in here forever Lost in here forever Ever (ever) My arms do things oblivious of my wishes and my orders (there is a problem at checkout 5 Will the manager investigate please) The frantic woman has turned white A hand upon her shoulder Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now I only hear the neutron sounds By the cheap impersonators And I out run my limitations And I out run my limitations Buy, buy (checkout 5) Buy more now Buy, buy (there is a disturbance at checkout 5) Buy more now Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now Buy (buy) buy (buy) Buy more now I only hear the neutron sounds By the cheap impersonators And I out run my limitations And I out run my limitations And I out run my limitations And I out run my limitations And I out run my limitations And I out run my limitations (I don't want any of them) And I out run my limitations (I can't afford all these things I can't afford all these things) And I out run my limitations (I can't afford all these things) And I out run my limitations And I out run my limitations And I out run my limitations (I don't want any of them) And I out run my limitations (I don't want all these things) And I out run my limitations And I out run my limitations (please, please, leave me alone) And I out run my limitations (leave me alone, leave me alone) And I out run my limitations Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Please I don't want them I don't want them I can't afford them Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone (leave me alone Leave me alone) (can't afford them Leave me alone Leave me alone) |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

from Soft Cell - The Art Of Falling Apart (2006)
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! |
