I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away. Nothing here is gonna make me stay, (You) took me over, let me find a way. I sold my house I sold my motor, too. All I want is to be Next To You. I'd rob a bank Maybe steal a plane. You took me over, Think I'm goin' insane. What can I do, All I want is to be next to you. What can I do, All I want is to be next to you. I've had a thousand girls or maybe more, But I've never felt like this before. But I just don't know what's come over me, You took me over, take a look at me. What can I do, All I want is to be next to you. What can I do, All I want is to be next to you. All I want is to be next to you, All I want is to be next to you, All I want is to be next to you. So many times I used to give a sign Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind. When all it is is just a love affair. You took me over baby, take me there. What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you What can I do All I want is to be next to you. All I want is to be next to you... |

Well, someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away You act as if you don't care You look as if you're going somewhere But I just can't convince myself I couldn't live with no one else And I can only play that part And sit and nurse my broken heart, so lonely So lonely, so lonely, so lonely Now no-one's knocked upon my door For a thousand years, or more All made up and nowhere to go Welcome to this one man show Just take a seat, they're always free No surprise, no mystery In this theatre that I call my soul I always play the starring role, so lonely So lonely, so lonely, so lonely So lonely, so lonely, so lonely I feel lonely, I'm so lonely, I feel so low So lonely, so lonely, so lonely |

There's a hole in my life There's a hole in my life Shadow in my heart Is tearing me apart Or maybe it's just something in my stars There's a hole in my life Be a happy man I try the best I can Or maybe I'm just looking for too much There's something missing from my life Cuts me open like a knife It leaves me vulnerable I have this disease I shake like an incurable God help me, please Oh, there's a hole in my life There's a hole in my life Yeah, yeah, yeah There's something missing from my life Cuts me open like a knife It leaves me vulnerable I have this disease I shake like an incurable God help me, please Oh, there's a hole in my life There's a hole in my life |

I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girl-friends say That you don't ever want to see me again And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten I guess you'd call it cowardice But I'm not prepared to go on like this I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you I can't stand losing you I can't stand losing you I can't stand losing you I see you sent my letters back And my L.P. records and they're all scratched I can't see the point in another day When nobody listens to a word I say You can call it lack of confidence But to carry on living doesn't make no sense I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't stand losing you I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I guess this is our last goodbye And you don't care, so I won't cry But you'll be sorry when I'm dead And all this guilt will be on your head I guess you'd call it suicide But I'm too full to swallow my pride I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing I can't, I can't |

Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold You lay there sleeping like an open doorway I stepped outside myself and felt so cold Take a look at my new toy It'll blow your head in two, oh boy Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone I thought about it and my dream was broken I clutch at images like dying breath And I don't want to make a fuss about it The only certain thing in life is death Take a look at my new toy It'll blow your head in two, oh boy Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone Where you want to be, won't you ever see? Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone Ah....now! |

We were born
Born in the fifties Born Born in the fifties Born Born in the fifties Born Born in the fifties My mother cried When president Kennedy died She said it was the communists But I knew better Would they drop the bomb on us While we made love on the beach We were the class they couldn't teach 'Cos we knew better We were born Born in the fifties Born Born in the fifties Born Born in the fifties Born Born in the fifties They screamed When the Beatles sang And they laughed when the King fell down the stars Oh they should've known better Oh we hated our Aunt Then we messed in our pants Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV Oh we should've known better We were born Born in the fifties Born Born in the fifties Born Born in the fifties Born Born in the fifties We freeze like statues on the pages of history Living was never like this when we took all those G.C.E.'s Oh you opened the door for us And then you turned to dust You don't understand us So don't reprimand us We're taking the future We don't need no teacher (repeat chorus to fade) |

Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, Be my girl I was blue and lonely, I couldn't sleep a wink And I could only get unconscious if I'd had to much to drink There was somehow, something wrong somewhere And each day seemed grey and dead The seeds of desperation were growing in my head I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life Somewhere to place affection, but I didn't want a wife And then by lucky chance I saw in a special magazine An ad that was unusual, the like I'd never seen "Experience something different with our new imported toy She's loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy." She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown I took her to the bedroom and pumped her with some life And later in a moment that girl became my wife And so I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair And when I'm feeling naughty I blow her up with air She's cuddly and she's bouncy, she's like a rubber ball I bounce her in the kitchen and I bounce her in the hall And now my life is different since Sally came my way I wake up in the morning and have her on a tray She's everything they say she was and I wear a permanent grin And I only have to worry in case my girl wears thin Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl Won't you be my, be my, be my girl |

No lyrics - this song is just ad-libbed chanting, with a good deal of Caribbean dialect swearing in it. Take Sting's comments about the song with a pinch of salt - Professor Blockson indeed! Some journo's are just gullible to a wind-up... |
