Tough boys Running the streets Come a little closer Rough toys Under the sheets Nobody knows her Rough boys Don't walk away I very nearly missed you Tough boys Come over here I wanna bite and kiss you
I wanna see what I can find Tough kids Take a bottle of wine When your deal is broken Ten quid She's so easy to find Not a word is spoken Rough boys Don't walk away I'm still pretty blissed here Tough boy I'm gonna carry you home You got pretty pissed dear
Gonna get inside you Gonna get inside your bitter mind
Rough boys Don't walk away I wanna buy you leather Make noise Try and talk me away We can't be seen together Tough kids What can I do? I'm so pale and weedy Rough fits In my Hush Puppy shoes But I'm still pleadin'
Tough boys Running the streets Come a little closer Rough toys Under the sheets Nobody knows her Rough boys Don't walk away I very nearly missed you Tough boys Come over here I wanna bite and kiss you
I'm an English boy I was brought up right Hold me down And I will bite I know no fear I serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy
I feel like a stray dog Blurred like a movie You say you've come to arrest me But you're just trying to test me I'm bored with your prejudice Spreading like a fever Your promises to train me Are just attempts to restrain me
I'm an English boy Precisely made Pin me down I am not afraid I show no fear I will serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy
Use me like a headline Cut pieces to pieces I'm black on the tube line Red on the touch-line Freezing up the future Stopping every stopwatch You say we're moving like an oil slick Thicker than a house brick
I'm an English boy I was brought up right If you raise your dress Then I will bite My voice is clear I got perfect poise Good to be down here With all the English boys
And I don't know where I am now Or where I'm gonna go I just keep going round and round on the circle line Like some demented kind a cummuta Trying to avoid paying for my ticket I'm a lost soul I read about myself in the newspapers I'm a pig I'm a thug I've got nowhere to go but down
Feel like I'm kicking at a dead man Kicking in the chorus I'm broken by hatred While politicians just ignore us You never gave me any value You didn't give me any reason There's no tools and no toys For any English boys
I'm an English boy I was brought up right Hold me down And I will bite I know no fear I will serve with joy I'm proud to be here An English boy
I'm an English boy I'm an English boy I'm an English boy No tools, no toys for any English boy English boy
Don't bring me secondhand love Don't bring me secondhand love
Now you went out tonight Who've you been hanging around this time? I don't care if he's black or white I just don't like his kind
I don't want your secondhand love I don't want your secondhand love I don't want your secondhand love Don't bring me secondhand love
He's been leaving his scent on you I can sense it from a mile And all my money is spent on you But you're still selling your smile
Don't bring me secondhand love Don't bring me secondhand love I don't want your secondhand love I don't want your secondhand love
Give your love and keep blood between brothers Give your love and keep blood between brothers
I don't want your secondhand love Don't bring me secondhand love Don't bring me secondhand love
I can guess where you've been tonight, yeah You've been hanging on the street Wearing your dress too tight Showin' out to anyone you meet
Well, I don't want your secondhand love I don't want your secondhand love Don't bring me your secondhand love Don't bring me your secondhand love
I want the first call on your kiss Answer me one question, can you promise me this? I want my defences laying in your hands I don't want to rest in the palm of another man
I don't want your secondhand love Don't want, don't want your secondhand love I don't want, I don't want your secondhand love I don't want, I don't want your secondhand love
They say that love often passes in a second And you can never catch it up So I'm hanging on to you as though eternity beckon But it's clear that the match is rough
Common sense'd tell me not to try and continue But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you So keep an eye open, my spirit ain't broken Your love is so incredible, your body so edible
You give me an overdose of love That just a little is enough
I'm like a connoisseur of champagne cognac The perfume nearly beats the taste I eat an oyster and I feel the contact But more than one would be a waste
Some people want an endless line that's true But all I have is a little time with you A smile sets me reeling, a kiss feel like stealing Your love is like heroin, this addict is mellowing
I can't pretend that I'm tough Just a little is enough
Just like a sailor heading into the seas There's a gale blowing in my face The high winds scare me but I need the breeze And I can't head for any other place
Life would seem so easy on the other tack But even a hurricane won't turn me back You might be an island on the distant horizon But the little I see, looks like heaven to me
And I don't care if the ocean gets rough Just a little is enough
Common sense'd tell me not to try and continue But I'm after a piece of that diamond in you So keep an eye open, my spirit ain't broken Your love is so incredible, your body so edible
You give me an overdose of love A little is enough
I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson And boy do I want to go home. I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson And boy do I feel all alone. Cleveland, you blow my mind. Cleveland, I wish I were home this time. Don't want to be unkind .
But I'm sittin' in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson Thinkin' 'bout a sunny barbeque I'm sitting in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson And my mind is a Cleveland afternoon. Cleveland, you blow my mind. Cleveland, I wish I were home this time Don't want to be unkind. Cleveland, you blow my mind. Cleveland, I wish I were home this time. Don't want to be unkind.
Oh Cleveland, you blow my mind. Oh Cleveland, I wish I were home this time Don't want to be unkind.
But I'm sitting in the Sheraton Gibson playin' my Gibson And boy do I want to go home
It's time, to live Make me, take me It's time, to give So don't betray me, pay me
The brilliant blues Don't want to be frozen I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe I've read the news and the clique-ridden notions I know that now is the time to say
It's time, to teach So tell me, come on tell me It's time, to preach So help me, come on and help me
The brilliant blues Will never flow this way again The color of the river is gray The brilliant blues Have faded into sadness and pain, And now it's time to say, it's time
You and me are going to finally sail away We'll get far away from the blues and the mist and the rain You and me are going to fight until we win the day For now is the time we must say goodbye To the brilliant blues
The brilliant blues Don't want to be frozen I'll spend my mornings at the sunshine cafe I've read the news and the clique-ridden notions I know that now is the time to say
It's time, to trust So buy me, come on try me It's time, to thrust Guide me, stay beside me
The brilliant blues Will never flow this way again The color of the river is gray The brilliant blues Have faded into sadness and pain, And now is the time to say, it's time
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love You can't do a thing about it (repeat 3 times) In you I saw someone that I recognized Had no idea what was in your mind I met your eyes and I was hypnotized I let our lives become entwined
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love You can't do a thing about it Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love You can't do a thing about it
I feel so badly Darlin' all the time I have tortured you so long But I am helpless in this pantomime I am aware that I was wrong
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love You can't do a thing about it (repeat 3 times)
For though you knew that I was twice your age To make you laugh seemed you enough I thought we'd love and then and then you'd turn the page I'd have to suffer your rebuff
And it was me who had the most to gain Despite the fact that I now have lost The only love that ever caused me pain I feel like a double head was tossed
Now and then you see a soul and you fall in love And you can't do a thing about it (repeat 6 times)
WOODLAND CREATURES Don't be afraid of the night Only you hear the scream that you scream Don't turn away from the light Only you see the dream that you dream
HOGARTH I'm not going to run anymore I'm not gonna run Away from this honeymoon I'm not gonna run anymore I'm not gonna run Like a rat to a piper's tune For you and I Will show one another love You and I We owe one another love

When people keep ing That you'll never fall in love When everybody keeps retreating But you can't seem to get enough Let my love open the door Let my love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart When everything feels all over When everybody seems unkind I bring you a four leaf clover Take all the worry out of your mind Let my love open the door Let my love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart I have the only key to your heart I can stop you falling apart Try today, you'll find this way Come on and give me a chance to say Let my love open the door It's all I'm living for Release yourself from misery There's only one thing gonna set you free That's my love Let my love open the door Let my love open the door Let my love open the door When tragedy befalls you Don't let it drag you down Love can cure your problems You're so lucky I'm around Let my love open the door Let my love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart
I was just thirty-four years old and I was still wandering in a haze I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were Lost in a maze
I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of Divine right to the blues It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the Front page sad news.
The incense burned away and the stench began to rise And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others' eyes
And girls who lost their children cursed the men who fit the coil And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil No one respects the flame quite like the fool who's badly burned From all this you'd imagine that there must be something learned
Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts I don't ever wear no ripped shirts Can't pretend that growing older never hurts.
Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants Have to be so drunk to try a new dance So afraid of every new romance
Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance? Why can't we drink it up true heart romance Just need a brief new romance
Let me tell you some more about myself, you know I'm sitting at home just now. The big events of the day are passed and the late TV shows have come around. I'm number one in the home team, but I still feel unfulfilled. A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that I'm unskilled.
And I know that when she thinks of me, she thinks of me as him, But, unlike me, she don't work off her frustration in the gym.
Recriminations fester and the past can never change A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range
Once she walked with untamed lovers' face between her legs Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg
Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts Can't pretend that growing older never hurts
Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants We have to be so drunk to try a new dance So afraid of every new romance
Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
Slit skirts, slit skirt Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirt She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirt Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance? Why can't we drink it up true heart romance Just need a brief new romance

Why was I born today Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say I never had a chance But opportunity's now in my hands
I stand with my guitar All I need is a mirror Then I'm a star I'm so sick of dud TV Next time you switch on You might see me, oh.what a thrill for you
I've been there and gone there I've lived there and bummed there I've spun there, I gave there I drank there and I slaved there
I've had enough of the way things been done Every man on a razors edge Someone has used us to kill with the same gun Killing each other by driving a wedge
[Chorus:] My life's a mess I wait for you to pass I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
Why was I born today Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say I didn't get a chance Opportunity's in my hand
I stand with my guitar All I needs a mirror Then I'm a star I'm so sick of dud TV Next time you switch on You might see me
I've been there and gone there I've lived there and bummed there I've spun there, I gave there I drank there and I slaved there
I've had enough of the way things have been done Every man on a razors edge Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun We where killing each other by driving a wedge
[Chorus]
Don't worry smile and dance You just can work life out Don't let down moods entrance you Take the wine and shout
Tough boys Running the streets Come a little closer Rough toys Under the sheets Nobody knows her Rough boys Don't walk away I very nearly missed you Tough boys Come over here I wanna bite and kiss you
I wanna see what I can find Tough kids Take a bottle of wine When your deal is broken Ten quid She's so easy to find Not a word is spoken Rough boys Don't walk away I'm still pretty blissed here Tough boy I'm gonna carry you home You got pretty pissed dear
Gonna get inside you Gonna get inside your bitter mind
Rough boys Don't walk away I wanna buy you leather Make noise Try and talk me away We can't be seen together Tough kids What can I do? I'm so pale and weedy Rough fits In my Hush Puppy shoes But I'm still pleadin'
Tough boys Running the streets Come a little closer Rough toys Under the sheets Nobody knows her Rough boys Don't walk away I very nearly missed you Tough boys Come over here I wanna bite and kiss you
Give blood But you may find that blood is enough Give blood And there are some who'll say it's not enough Give blood But don't expect too ever see reward Give blood You can give it all but still asked for more
Give blood But it could cost more than your dignity Give blood Parade your pallor in iniquity Give blood They will cry and say they're in our debt Give blood But then they'll sigh and they will soon forget
[man in background] where heading for the day of blessings I'm telling ya, Its all building up to something, Something that's opening beginning with fire
So give love and keep blood between brothers Give love and keep blood between brothers Give love and keep blood between brothers Give love and keep blood between brothers
Give blood But you may find that blood is not enough Give blood And there are some who'll say it's not enough Give blood But don't expect too ever see reward Give blood You can give it all but still asked for more
So give love and keep blood between brothers Give love and keep blood between brothers Give love and keep blood between brothers Give love and keep blood between brothers
Give your love and keep blood between brothers Give your love and keep blood between brothers Give love and keep blood between brothers Give love and keep blood between brothers Give love and keep blood between brothers
The tissue box is empty No coffee for my cream Dogs howl in the alley Crazy women scream Some kids shout from there pick up truck There stoned on life and beer Fifty radios playing in this street But I'm still hardly here
Exquisitely bored in California We take our trouble to the Crest Exquisitely bored in California Exquisitely bored, Just like all the rest
When the sun shines things'll get moving You feel close to the stars There are good times walking in Laguna But it rains in my heart
The peasants here are starving They look out there barrels out in space Pray TV looks like pay TV to me It's just a curse on the human race I take a drive up to L.A. In my gas guzzling limousine There's a whole lot of crazy people up there Living out a life in sweet ennui
Exquisitely bored in California We take our trouble to the Crest Exquisitely bored in California Exquisitely bored, Just like all the rest
When the sun shines things'll get moving You feel close to the stars There are good times walking in Laguna But it rains in my heart
Exquisitely bored in California We take our trouble to the Crest Exquisitely bored in California Exquisitely bored, Just like all the rest
Anyone can have an opinion Anyone can join in and jump Anyone can pay or just stay away Anyone can crash and thump
But did you read the stuff that Julie said? Or little Jimmy with his hair died red? They don't give a shit Keith Moon is dead Is that exactly what I though I read?
Typewriter tappers You're all just crappers You listen to love with your intellect A4 pushers You're all just cushions Morality ain't measured in a room He wrecked.
Anyone can buy some leather Ain't no better than wearing sheep Anyone can sell luck heather You can see that words are cheap!
But did you read the stuff that Julie said? Or little Jimmy with his hair died red? They have a standard of perfection there That you and me can never share
Typewriter bangers on You're all just hangers on Everyone's human except Jools and Jim Late copy churners Rock and Roll learners Your hearts are melting in pools Of gin
But I know for sure that if we met up eye to eye A little wine would bring us closer, you and I Cause you're right, hypocrisy will be the death of me And there's an I before e when you're spelling ecstasy And you, you two
Did you here the stuff that Krishna said? Or know for you that Jesus' blood was shed? Is it in your heart or in your head? Or does the truth lay in the center spread?
Anyone can have an opinion Anyone can join in and jump Anyone can pay and just stay away Anyone can crash and thump
Nothing must pass this line Unless it is well defined You just have to be resigned You're crashing by design You once believed that crazy accidents Were happening to you You were chasing a capricious wind Whenever bad luck and trouble Happened to pursue you The dice would surely save your skin But when you look back you must realize That nothing in your life's divine Everything that's ever befallen you Happened simply 'cause it crossed your mind You're crashing by design Nothing must pass this line Unless it is well defined You just have to be resigned You're crashing by design In your single-roomed flat in a courtyard building You sit alone just like a broken toy Where's your mother, where's your lover And where are the children Are you a man or still a boy? Who left you behind, or did you run From the crush of so many options? Now you know the special despair of the man Discussed, debated and offered for adoption Nothing must pass this line Unless it is well defined You just have to be resigned Another man without a woman Dropped like a useless tool no longer required A man who longs for the stifling Milk flowered bosom, a fool Who's no longer desired
Another man without a woman Too many rages have cost you this time Another man among a hundred children You're just a child who is lost in time
You're crashing by design You're crashing by design It all happens by design It all happens by design You're crashing by design
It all happens by design It all happens by design You're crashing by desig
Make me of clay, make me of steel But whatever you do don't try and make me real Make me your dream, a secretive deal But don't ever scheme to try and make me real
Stop trying to make me real I haven't got the kind of heart a lover can steal Stop crying, I just can't feel Any sympathy for someone trying to make me real
Make me of shit in a two-teenier deal Make me of pornography in a pedophile wheel Whatever I do, whatever I feel By your double standard I will never be real
Stop trying to make me real I haven't got the kind of heart a lover can steal Stop crying, I just can't feel Any sympathy for someone trying to make me
Why can't you settle for a fantasy? You're so convinced that I'm the man to see I can't live up to What you give up to I fail to see the perfect man in me
Make me from your magazine a listed ideal Dress me in the doll's house your knickers conceal Make me your brother-lover beau-ideal But you will soon discover lover can't be real
Stop trying to make me real I haven't got the kind of heart a lover can steal Stop crying, I just can't feel Any sympathy for someone trying to make me real (repeat 3 times)
