Look around your world pretty baby
Is it everything you’d hoped it’d be? The wrong guy, the wrong situation The right time to roll to me Roll to me Look into your heart pretty baby Is it aching with some nameless need? Is there something wrong and you can’t put your finger on it Right then roll to me And I don’t think I have ever seen A soul so in despair(ooooooooooo) So if you want to talk the night through Guess who will be there?(yeahhhhhhhhhhhh) So don’t try to deny it pretty baby You’ve been down so long you can hardly see When the engine’s stalled and it won’t stop raining it’s the Right time to roll to me Roll to me Roll to me And I don’t think I have ever seen A soul so in despair So if you want to talk the night through Guess who will be there? So look around your world pretty baby Is it everything you’d hoped it’d be? The wrong guy, the wrong situation The right time to roll to me The right time to roll to me the right time to roll to me...ooohhh |

it seems like weeks since you looked at me baby
without that look of distaste i don't know why your feelings are changing but i've seen it in your face all those times when our lips were kissing our tongues were telling lies and all those signs that i've been missing were right there in your eyes so come on babe let's kiss this thing goodbye i sometimes feel when we're together baby everything has turned out wrong and i know you feel exactly the same way but still we carry on i've been waiting up by the window watching these cars go by and i tell myself that i'll go through the motions for the last time tonight so come on babe let's kiss this thing goodbye now i'm watching the fumes foul up the sunrise i'm watching the light fade away and i'm hoping tonight that i'll open the door and you'll stand here and say come on babe let's kiss this thing goodbye better make it sooner than later before it all turns sour we'd better kiss this thing goodbye |

With some girls it don't matter who you hang with
With some girls it don't matter how you talk And some girls they are easy to be yourself with But the one girl that I want ain't easy to please with what I've got With some girls it don't matter where you're aiming With some girls it don't matter how you act And some girls they don't care what car you came in But the one girl that I want, she wants that one bit of geography I lack Yeah, she don't want me 'cos I'm not where it's at And some girls they will worry about reactions And some girls they don't give a damn for that But somehow I ain't ever in on the action 'Cos the one girl I want, she wants that one little quality I lack Yeah, she don't want me 'cos I'm not where it's at I don't have my finger on the pulse of my generation I just got my hand on my heart, I know no better location Yeah, she don't want me 'cos I'm not where it's at No I'm not where it's at |

Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats Janitors padlock the gates For security guards to patrol And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink While the married ones turn on a chat show And they’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Gentlemen time please, you know we can’t serve anymore Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there’s nothing to go And by five o’clock everything’s dead And every third car is a cab And ignorant people sleep in their beds Like the doped white mice in the college lab Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before And we’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Telephone exchanges click while there’s nobody there The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care Close-circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same video every day And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed Just survive constant action replay Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before And we’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs While angry from Manchester writes to complain about All the repeats on T.V. And computer terminals report some gains On the values of copper and tin While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs For the price of a hospital wing Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all They’ll burn down the synagogues at six o’clock And we’ll all go along like before And we’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow |

So you’re in love with someone else
Someone who burns within your soul And it looks like I’m the last to know I hear you’ve never felt so alive So much desire beyond control And as usual I am the last to know The last to know how you’re feeling The last to know where you are The last to know if you’re happy now Or if he’s treating you like I treated you Or if he’s cruel I’ll be the last to know We spent summers up beyond the bay And you said these are such perfect days That if the bomb drops baby, I want to be the last to know But now you’re living up behind the hill And though we share the same city and feel the same sun When your winter comes I’ll be the last to know Always the last to know how you’re feeling The last to know where you are The last to know if you’re happy now Or if he’s pleading with you like I pleaded with you If you go don’t let me be the last to know Don’t let me be the last To know Creation’s gone crazy, the TV’s gone mad Now you’re the only sane thing that I have The last to know how you’re feeling The last to know where you are The last to know if you’re happy now Or if he’s cheating on you like I cheated on you And you were the last to know |

Hey I’m with you, let me just get you a light And if we’d thought to listen We might have checked if the weather was right And I don’t mind if you want to drive all day Hey, it’s raining, I should have brought my coat And sometimes I could sell my soul Just to sit and watch you smoke And I don’t mind if you want to break my heart ’Cos you can burn paper You can turn a wheel But you can’t change later Here and now just how good we can feel Hey, stop talking, think I can hear the sea And did I tell you the sound of the surf Makes strange things happen to me And I don’t mind if you want to crash the car ’Cos you turn traitor You can turn on your heels But you can’t change lady Here and now just how good we can feel And hey don’t worry, so that black cat’s some kind of curse ’Cos if bad times are coming up ahead, Just put us in reverse I don’t want to waste time, thinking ’bout it here and now babe Nothing else matters but what we’ve got here and now babe. |

I still don’t believe it, how much we lied
Last night you made it with him now I’m supposed to be dignified Just like a man Well I spend my night times drinking and you spend your days in bed And I guess it’s up to us to choose the methods by which we forget And just like a man he holds you gently And just like a man he strokes your hair And just like a man I still pretend that I’m Immune to the whole affair But I wanna die, I wanna cry, I wanna tell you I was wrong Yeh I wanna die, I wanna cry but it’s too late So I soldier on just like a man I don’t believe it, you were easy to leave but now I do my best to relieve it the only way I know how Just like a man And I don’t wanna possess you, I don’t wanna take his place But I don’t wanna see my last few pleasures written all over his face And just like a man he holds you gently And just like a man he strokes your hair And just like a man I still pretend that I’m Immune to the whole affair But I wanna die, I wanna cry, I wanna tell you I was wrong Yeh I wanna die, I wanna cry but it’s too late So I soldier on just like a man And I have something to tell you but it doesn’t matter now I’ll stick to small talk and leave the little bits of flattery to him And I could call you but why would I bother to You might not be in or he might misunderstand Just like a man |

You can grin but you can't hide
All the emptiness inside Since she left you like spit in the rain Without doubt it is true She was the only love you knew Now she's gone it fades away Like spit in the rain And you can try to find her But you'll be looking in vain Because love disappears like spit in the rain And you can try to figure out Why you mean nothing to her now But you might just as well Go spit in the rain And maybe then you will find Her sweet memory in your mind Washed away, out of sight Like spit in the rain Without doubt it is true Without her there's only you With a little luck, with a little time You'll pull through And you can try to find her But you'll be looking in vain Because love disappears like spit in the rain Because love disappears like spit in the rain |

Look at the fool you have been
They drained the pool while you drowned in the dream They bought your beauty and your soul Then softly sold you back what they stole So look into the mirror do you recognise someone Is it who you always hoped you would become When you were young The disappointment of success Hangs from your shoulders like a hand-me down dress And down nostalgia’s rocky road You watch your former lovers growing old So look into the mirror do you recognise someone Is it who you always hoped you would become When you were young Sometimes your lack of sympathy gets hard to explain So on your mask of make up just paint A little parody of pain So I look into the mirror and I recognise someone It is who you always hoped you would become When you were young |

to moonn6pence from shootingstar
Driving through the long night Trying to figure who’s right and who’s wrong Now the kid has gone. I sit belted up tight, She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze, steering on. And I might be more of a man if I stopped this in it’s tracks And said, come on, let’s go home. But she’s got the wheel, And I’ve got nothing except what I have on. When you’re driving with the brakes on When you’re swimming with your boots on, It’s hard to say you love someone And it’s hard to say you don’t Trying to keep the mood right, trying to steer the conversation from The thing we’ve done. She shuts up the ashtray, and I say it’s a long way back now hon She just yawns. And we might get lost someplace So desolate that no one where we’re from would ever come But she’s got the wheel and I’ve got to deal from now on. But unless the moon falls tonight, unless continents collide, Nothing’s gonna make me, break from her side |

Everybody in the funhouse
Says they want out But we’re taking our time ’Cos we’re in love with time Whole generations thinking of themselves As infidels and pop stars While the bomb loses patience We line up and just lean against the bar Stone cold sober, looking for bottles of love. Caught in the headlights Wide-eyed and ready to receive We are the dead life Locked in dogfights, lost in disbelief And these dark days Make the nights seem brighter than they are So while Fleet Street rolls and the moon glows In the funhouse the fun starts Stone cold sober, looking for bottles of love. Born in the half-light Of threats and bribes In a hopeless porn parade We get the dog’s life, tidbits train us What to wear, what not to say When you’re footloose but you just feel limbless Life gets in the way So we get loaded or totally legless But stay the same Stone cold sober, looking for bottles of love. |

Tell her not to go
I ain't holding on no more Tell her something in my mind freezes up from time to time Tell her not to cry I just got scared that's all Tell her I'll be by her side, all she has to do is call Tell her the chips are down I drank too much and shouted it aloud Tell her something in my heart Needs her more than even clowns need the laughter of the crowd Tell her what was wrong I sometimes think to much But say nothing at all And tell her from this high terrain, I am ready now to fall Tell her not to go I ain't holding on no more Tell her nothing if not this; all I want to do is kiss her Tell her something in my mind Freezes up from time to time. |

A struck match faded like a nervous laugh
Beyond the halo of a naked bulb Your low voice mingles with your other half's; School friends in second-hand clothes Eventually your world will shrink within four walls Of neglected debts and stolen stereos. So move away jimmy blue Before your small, small town turns around And swallows you A drunk mother was the cue For the legendary things that you do Behind a carnival tent with mud on your face Behind the old glue factory too. So move away jimmy blue Before your small, small town turns around And swallows you Wet feet visit the same old places Finding nothing new It's a binful of tissues from made-up faces In a townful of nothing to do A love match with the moon In a lay by, while insects hum and You got put in the darkness of a woman's womb Jimmy blue. So move away, yeah, Move away jimmy blue Before your small, small town Turns around and swallows you. |

Well the bus is pulling out
And I guess I'd better go Before I make a grave mistake and let my feelings show And twenty miles away She waits alone for me But when I try to picture her you're the one I see And in another situation I could put up a fight But you will be my downfall tonight So the night is coming down Drowning us in blue And it all points towards the things we know we shouldn't do And as I look at you And I fall under your spell Well, I know I should be thinking of her lying there herself And when faced with temptation you know a man should stand and fight But you will be my downfall tonight Be my downfall Be my great regret Be the one girl That I'll never forget Be my undoing Be my slow road to ruin tonight Well the bus is pulling out And I'm grounded here with you And I want to say the sweet things babe I've always wanted to So tell me now the tail-lights have gone out of sight Baby won't you be my downfall once again tonight |

I must've had a million damn unlucky days
But there ain't no cloud that a bottle can't chase away I've done my deal of living, ran from place to place But when the roof comes in I don't wanna take it straight They say with faith any soul can make it But hell, why should I wait 'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade I've had my share of heartaches, let downs and tricks But the everyday blues is the one thing I can fix I've heard those holy brethren muttering my name But it ain't no sin to drink when you're suffering Patience, they say, is a saintly virtue But hell, why should I wait 'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade When every heavy sky just empties on your fate Sometimes keeping dry's something to celebrate So if the road of sin is the one I'm taking I ain't gonna stray 'Til the clouds go rain on some other sucker's parade |

So long, go on and do your best
Let all France have whiskey on its breath The world may not be shaking yet but you might prove them wrong Even long shots make it So go then, out into history And show them how easy it can be And you might not believe it yet but pretty soon you'll see Even long shots make it Just don't come home too soon Just don't come home too soon I don't care what people say We can laugh it all away If I have a dream at all it's that for once you won't be on that stupid plane And the world may not be shaking yet But you might prove them wrong Even long shots make it Just don't come home too soon Just don't come home too soon I don't care what people say We're gonna laugh it all away |
