You know I don't like dancin'
An' I don't like to bop
Too much movement's exertion
Makes me wish I could drop
Dro' dro' dro' drop
An' I don't like French kissin'
'cause you swallow my tongue
- Alive tonight
Ahh, ahh, ahh - tonight
Ahh, ahh
Object movers have done nothing on me
Take me to the party I just want to feel free
I won't pass the bastard? nightmares into another Sunday
I won't pass the bastard? nightmares into another Sunday
When they asked me want I wanted to do
- Boredom
Yeah - well - I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
I never get around to things
I live a straight - straight line
You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom
- Breakdown
If I seem a little jittery I can't restrain myself
I'm falling into fancy fragments
Can't contain myself
I gotta breakdown, breakdown, yeah
I gotta breakdown, breakdown, yeah
I can stand austerity but it gets a little much
- Certain Move
It's such a certain move
Don't throw it right back on me
It's such a certain move
Open your eyes so you can see
You look like you should know
So let the four winds blow
I think it's time to go
- Do It
Here again playing the lonely game
Blind as a fool who won't see
Suddenly taking control again
What could be happening to me
My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
My source of inspiration
- Dreamin
Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Try as hard as I can I just can't get you out of my mind
Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Will my dreams come true or am I simply wasting my time?
- Driving You Insane
It's a blur
It's a slur
As you were
It's a thing all covered in pain
Half a mind
There's no time
Do a line
- E.S.P.
Do you believe in E.S.P.?
I do and I'm tryna get through to you
If you're picking up off me
Then you know just what to do, think
Brainwaves transmitted from my mind
Of a magnetic kind
I don't know what to do
- Everybody's Happy Nowadays
I was so tired of being upset
Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion love is a dream
But I don't know what it is
Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays
- Friends Of Mine
Rita spits out her laurel leaf
And grabs a piece of my pie
She's gonna lead me up the mountain path
As the crows fly
Claudette's pretty quick off the mark
Like a Polaris missile in heat
She smiles at a hundred miles an hour
- Harmony In My Head
Whenever I'm in doubt about things I do
I listen to the high street wailing sounds in a queue
I go out for my walking sailing social news
Don't let it get me down I'm long in the tooth
When I'm out in the open clattering shoppers around
The neon signs that take your eyes to town
Your thoughts are chosen your world is advertising now
- Hollow Inside
Hollow inside, I was hollow inside
But I couldn't find out what the reason was
Why I was hollow inside? I was hollow inside
But I couldn't find out what the reason was
Why I was hollow inside? I was hollow inside
But I couldn't find out what the reason was
Why I was hollow inside? I was hollow inside
- I Believe
In these times of contention, it's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now, I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past
I believe in the worker's revolution
And I believe in the final solution
I believe in, I believe in
- I Can't Control Myself
Oh no! Baba bababa baba ba ba
Baba bababa baba baba
I can't stand still 'cos you've got me goin'
Baba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Your slacks are low and your hips are showin'
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
I take you girl as you're standing there
- I Don't Know What To Do With My Life
I don't know what to do with my life
Should I give it up and make a new start
I don't know what to do with my life
'Cause the one I've got just tears me apart
I can't wake up in the morning
And I can't get to sleep at night
I'm not expecting things to be perfect
- I Don't Mind
or ham
A shamen or sham
But if you don't mind
I don't mind
I'm lost without a clue
So how can I undo
The tangle of these webs I keep weaving
- I Look Alone
I am alone there's nobody there
I have some time to spare
Whenever I feel this way
I look around at everyone else
Have they no time to spare
Whenever I feel this way
Oh today is beautiful
- Innocent
I thought you were so innocent
Until I got my fingers burnt
You think me strange and quite peculiar
Let the first appearance fool ya
Even though you're not my mum
I've got to get my washing done
Who calls the tune must pay the piper
Fix the plug and catch the spider
- Jerk
Yesterday while feeling down I called you on the phone
Instead of being warm you seemed so cold
Was it something that I said or something on your mind
No matter what it was we had a row
Believe me - I'm sorry
I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
- Just Lust
There's bed in your eyes
But there's nothing there to trust
Just lust, just lust
You're telling me lies
When you say that it's a must
Just lust, just lust
- Last To Know
Will I be the last to know?
I've got this little question for ya
Will I be the last to know
Or is this just my paranoia?
Will I be the last to know?
I came into your room while you were sleeping
And tip-toed to the bottom of your bed
- Libertine Angel
They don't make the future
Like they did in the past
Shedding scant light
On the darkness of life
It's like your making outrageous demands
And all my ancestors
Were primitive man
- Lipstick
When you kiss me
Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face
Will you miss me
In your dreams does your lover have my face
Ah, when you kiss me
Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face
Ah, will you miss me
- Love You More
I'm in love again
Been like this before
I'm in love again
This time's true I'm sure
Don't wanna end up like no nine day wonder
I've been hurt so many times before
So my darlin' I will never leave you
- Morning After
Sun streams through the window
It's another day
I lie in bed nursing my hangover
Couldn't stomach breakfast
I feel like throwing up
Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after
- Moving Away Form The Pulsebeat
You said the things you did in the past
Were all because you're living too fast
But now I'm here you're taking it slow
You know what you know you know you know now
I only want to be with you
You do you do you do you do too
You do you do you do you do too
- Noise Annoys
Pretty girls, pretty boys
Have you ever heard your mommy say
Noise annoys
Pretty girls, pretty boys
Have you ever heard your mommy shout
Noise annoys
- Nothing Left
I'm on my own now
You've gone and left me
I bet you don't know
How you've upset me
'Cos I've nothing left at all
At all at all at all at all at all at all at all
I've nothing left at all
- Palm Of Your Hand
It's not so strange you know to feel like this
I thought of you I knew that you'd understand
I think it's time you know we did more than kiss
Ever fallen in love with the palm of your hand
I've made up my mind as a bull sees red
To get my tail wagged must I sit up and beg
And if you want to brush up on technique
- Point Of No Return
If I could discover
One thing or another
I doubt if I'll tremble inside
It ain't paranoia
If they're coming for you
And though you may run you won't hide
The way it should be
- Promises
Ah loving you is easy you are on my side
We play the game strictly to our rules
We led the field a love affair
Which made all other lovers fools
Oh
How can you ever let me down
How can you ever let me down
- Raison d'etre
You're an awful lot of fun
Forever on the run
You're my number one
But if you're not late
Then I guess you never come
You're always on my side boy
When it comes to playing games of who are we
- Real World
I'm in love with the real world
It's mutual or so it seems
'cause only in the real world
Do things happen like they do in my dreams
Some of the rules may be different
But maybe they'll stay the same
In the real world
In the real world
- Reconciliation
Been contemplating lately what you mean to me
You are the one I care about, the only one I love
And though we may be separated by the sea
It's still just you I'm dreaming of, you must believe me
Para siempre means forever
And I intend to keep that promise, you know
- Rendezvous
I'd overslept so I caught the bus
It's the only thing I could do
I went upstairs took a vacant seat
And found I'd sat next to you
It's been a long time since we last met
I thought you'd moved out of town
Still have the power to stir me up
- Running Free
Here in suburbia
There's nothing left to see
Just wanna spend my time running free
I've had enough of the day job
I can see farther than that
Just wanna spend my time running free
- Sick City Sometimes
When you don't know who you are
And you're walking with a scar
In the places that are breaking down your mind
It's a complicated day
Busy people on their way
Mirrored buildings reflecting in your eyes

- Sixteen Again
Feeling like I'm almost sixteen again
Layin' 'round doing nothing like all my friends
Play it cool don't get angry count up to ten
Just like I was sixteen again
Everybody gets the lowdown right from the start
Everybody gets the showdown right from the heart
But that's all that's on the menu and life's a la carte
- Something's Gone Wrong Again
Tried to find my sock
No good, it's lost
Something's gone wrong again
Need a shave
Cut myself, need a new blade
Something's gone wrong again
- Soul On A Rock
This desolation sweeping over me
I find hard to disguise
The contradiction what I want and what I see
Had led to darkening skies
And I don't know if you're just deceiving me
And I just hope that you're not deceiving me
- Sound Of A Gun
Heading for bad weather
Hard rain is gonna come
Everybody shakes to the sound of a gun
You might think you're clever
This thing will strike you dumb
Everybody shakes to the sound of a gun
- Stars
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
He is poised to a very strange degree
Wrapped up in emotional imagery
- Thunder Of Hearts
Tell me why you looked the other way
I've been tired of being blind
From staring at the sun
No cause for celebration tonight
Okay, right, you win
But always remember
Don't say you've not heard
- Totally From The Heart
You want more more than I can deliver
I love you more than you could ever know now
Made it plain from the start
Totally from the heart
I'm to you like the mountain to Mohammed
But these roles could be juxtaposed it's up to you now
- What Do I Get
I just want a lover like any other, what do I get?
I only want a friend who will stay to the end, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
I'm in distress, I need a caress, what do I get?
I'm not on the make, I just need a break, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
What do I get, oh-oh, what do I get?
- What Do You Know
Everything happens
Don't look for patterns
You only perceive what you believe
You need only believe to believe
A map of illusion
Of this land of confusion
I saw the boy clad in leather
- When Love Turns Around You
What do you get when love turns around
The hate is just a state in your mind
You say that you know me but some things are hard to find
When love turns around you
When love turns around you
- Who'll Help Me Forget
Now that your love's not real
You leave me lying on my own, I find it kinda rich you know
When something goes to nothing
Then again I guess I should've known
Was it all a waste of time
A game I'm not supposed to win, no matter what I try
It seems to make no difference
- Why Can't I Touch It
Well it seems so real I can see it
And it seems so real I can feel it
And it seems so real I can taste it
And it seems so real I can hear it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?
Then it looks so real I can see it
