I'm lost again
And I'm on the run Looking for love In a sad song With your avenger eyes And your cat like ways I can hold you You're 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 Chorus 1 He's searching She's showing See him held 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 life and shout Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me... I hear the saxophone And it tears my soul And they'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 Chorus 1 Chorus 2 See her eyes they are bright tonight See the stars coming out tonight See the moon looking down tonight See how they light your way tonight See my eyes they are bright tonight See my hands reaching out tonight Hear my words they are dynamite See how they light your way tonight 12 |

She's a secretary in the daytime
A modern Venus On the eighth floor She's a secretary in the daytime A bright young thing With a promising career She's got the ability She's got the facilities She's got the ability She's got the facilities She's a secretary in the daytime A model beauty At the typewriter She's a secretary in the daytime A smile at the boss And she's doing fine She's got the ability She's got the facilities She's got the ability She's got the facilities She's a secretary in the daytime She's a secretary in the daytime |

We've hit those depths again Playing black games again Black mellow lies And the narrowing of eyes Playing those games again You hold the reins again But then I turned the card And you know I hit hard Loving you, hating me It's the other side of love It's the side that you don't want to see Shaking your head that way It's so true when they say That love is a pain in the heart A pain that pulls apart I'm breaking rules again You're breaking hearts again Pretend to despise When there's love in your eyes Loving you, hating me It's the other side of love It's the side that you don't want to see And I'm loving you And you're hating me It's the other side of love It's the other side of love |

Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo
Crying in the rain It was a kind of so so love And I'm going to make sure it never Happens again You and I It had to be The standing joke of the year You were a sleep around A lost and found And not for me I fear I tried to make it work You in a cocktail skirt And me in a suit (Well it just wasn't me) You're used to wearing less And now you're life's a mess So insecure you see I put up with all the scenes And this is one scene That's going to be played my way Chorus: Take your hands off me I don't belong to you, you see Take a look at my face For the last time I never knew you You never knew me Say hello Goodbye Say hello wave goodbye Under the deep red light I can see the makeup sliding down Hey little girl you will always make up So take off that unbecoming frown What about me- well I'll find someone That's not going cheap in the sales A nice little housewife Who'll give me a steady life And won't keep going off the rails Chorus We've been involved For quite a while now And to keep you secret has been hell We're strangers meeting for the first time O.K.? Just smile and say hello Say hello then wave goodbye GOODBYE |

Fun City
I left my home With a pain in my heart Not a word of goodbye To the ones that I loved I'm taking a train Away from the rain To the lights and the smoke I've got to find my own way now Fun City To the London Experience Fun City To the London Experience Backward Forwards Wearing out the corners Fun City Here's my experience Have no feelings Have no sex Wonder who to rip off next Playland Scandal Pocket weighs you down Machine handle Goes down I lose all my money Trying to make a killing Can't even make my fare back home So this is Fun City Have no feelings Have no sex Wonder who to rip off next I tried to make friends Tried to make amends I sunk so low That it's hard to climb out I've nowhere to live But I've so much to give I found the hard way What's life all about Have no feelings Have no sex Wonder who to rip off next I'm all alone And I'm lost in this city Being paraded Feeling degraded I wanted love And I thought this was the way But I'm only young And I'm often this wrong Have no feelings Have no sex Wonder who to rip off next I have no morals Have no innocence I'm quite straight Just playing for rent. |

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> |

That's the way you go
The city is so cold And i, I'm so sold That's why I go I can't help it Born to lose (x3) Baby I'm born to lose (x2) Nothing to do And nothing to say There's only one thing that I want It's the only way I can't hit it Born to lose (x3) Baby I'm born to lose (x2) Living in a jungle It ain't so hard Living in the city It'll eat out your heart I can't hit it Born to lose (x3) Baby I'm born to lose (x4) Yeah I can't hit it Born to lose (aternate last two lines and repeat to end) |

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 |

Falling through at the seams
Living life in a dream Even smiles make a lie And I smile all the time I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever Trying all of the vices Is what's doing the damage All the good things are bad things And I'm paying the prices I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm covered in bruises From mixing with losers It's the black and the blue That's seeing me through My cigarette diet Means my throat hurts like Hell My friends say I'm dying But I do it so well Thank you I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever I'm skilled at the art Of falling apart It's the holding together Together forever Together forever Together forever It's the holding together Together forever Together forever It's the holding together Together forever Together forever |

Today I awoke
With a scream in my throat The reminders of you On the sheets The print of a torso Is this far as I know That feverish hello Another night of too much sleep Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire Some wasting complaint That was passed on by love Gods little avenger Smiles down from above And I'd rather eat bugs Than succumb to your love And a kiss on the mouth Is a mouth in the mud Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire Watch this lowlife Just look at you Pouring out of your body Like sweat they say Reality breeds contempt Contempt Contempt Contempt Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire No heaven up there Oh nothing so nice Just the puff in my mouth Paralysed, paradise And I'd rather draw blood Than succumb to your love And I'd rather give it all up Than fall for your love Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Disease and desire Desire Oh disease and desire Oh no way We'll meet again No way we'll meet again No way We'll meet again No way Oh disease and desire |

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) |

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 |
