Oh I was moved by your screen dream Celluloid pictures of living Your death could not kill our love for you Take two people - romantic Smoky nightclub situation Your cigarette traces a ladder Here's looking at you kid Celebrate years Here's looking at you kid Wipe away tears Long time, since we're together Now I hope it's forever Ideal love flies away now White jacket, mmmn, black tie wings too You gave her away to the hero Words don't express my meaning Notes could not spell out the score But finding not keeping's the lesson Here's looking at you kid Hard to forget Here's looking at you kid At least not yet Your memory stays It lingers ever Will fade away never |

At last the crimson chord cascade To shower dry cordials within Too late to leap the chocolate gate Pale fountains fizzing forth pink gin While destiny begins to fly The farmyard chorus sings its wake Upstanding anthem to the sky Too soon to realise their fate You were the raven of October I knew the sign you flew around Up in the air so high above me Never needed to look down I never thought I'd be a rover I didn't even look around But now I know you've found another So will someone please find me Give now the host his claret cup And watch Madeira's farewell drink Note his reaction acid sharp Should make the cognoscenti think |

If there is something that I might find Look around corners Try to find peace of mind I say Where would you go if you were me Try to keep a straight course not easy Somebody special looking at me A certain reaction we find What should it try to be I mean If there are many Meaning the same Be specific just a game I would do anything for you I would climb mountains I would swim all the oceans blue I would walk a thousand miles Reveal my secrets More than enough for me to share I would put roses round our door Sit in the garden Growing potatoes by the score Shake your hair girl with your ponytail Takes me right back (when you were young) Throw your precious gifts into the air Watch them fall down (when you were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground You used to walk upon (when you were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground The hills were higher (when we were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground The trees were taller (when you were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground The grass was greener (when you were young) Lift up your feet and put them on the ground You used to walk upon (when you were young) |

I've been thinking now for a long time How to go my own separate way It's a shame to think about yesterday, It's a shame Now that we are lonely Life seems to get hard Alone what a word - lonely Alone it makes me cry Thought-train set in motion Wheels in and around Express our emotion Tracks up, then it cracks down We've been running round in our present state Hoping help would come from above But even angels there make the same mistakes In love |

I dreamed last night about your face Your star shone all night Over the moon it shone brighter Star shining so bright You were so pure not for this world So gentle and light How could I hear their stories' They told me not right Too many times beautiful Too many times sad Too many times wonderful Too bad [Spoken:] "But when the party was over, and all was quiet and still, We walked together in moonlight and looked down over the calm lake, Hand in hand, the stars in our eyes." So in my dream you still loved me Gave time reason last night But this was only life's story Made simple that's right |

Just like flamingos look the same So me and you, just we two got to search for something new Far beyond the pale horizon Some place near the desert strand Where my Studebaker takes me That´s where I´ll make my stand but wait Can´t you see that Holzer mane?

Valerie please believe it never could work out
The time to make plans has passed faded away Oooh the way you look makes my starry eyes shiver Then I look away too much for one day One thing we share is an ideal of beauty Treasure so rare that even devils might care Your swimming pool eyes in sea breezes they flutter The coconut tears heavy lidded they shed Swaying palms at your feet you're the pride of your street While you worship the sun summer lover of fun Gold number with neighbours who said that you'll go far Maybe someday be a star a fast mover like you And your dreams will all come true ... All of my hope and my inspiration I drew from you our life's patterns drawn in sand But the winds could not erase the memory of your face Deep in the night plying very strange cargo Our soul ships pass by solo trips to the stars in the sky Gliding so far that the eye cannot follow Where do they go? We'll never know |

Well I'm here looking through an old picture frame Just waiting for the perfect view I hope something special will step in to my life Another fine edition of you A pin-up done in shades of blue Sometimes you find a yearning for the quiet life The country air and all its joys But badgers couldn't compensate at twice the price For just another night with the boys oh yeah And boys will be boys, will be boys They say love's a gamble, hard to win, easy lose And while sun shines you'd better make hay So if life is your table and fate is the wheel Then let the chips fall where they may In modern times the modern way And as I was drifting past the Lorelei I heard those slinky sirens wail - whooo So look out sailor when you hear them croon You'll never been the same again oh no Their crazy music drives you insane - this way So love, leave me. do what you will -Who knows what tomorrow might bring' Learn from your mistakes is my only advice And stay cool is still the main rule Don't play yourself for a fool Too much cheesecake too soon Old money's better than new No mention in the latest Tribune And don't let this happen to you |

In our present state Part false part true Like anything We present ourselves The words we use tumble All over your shoulder Gravel hard and loose There all night lying With your dark horse hiding Abhorring such extremes ... You’re rubbing shoulders With the stars at night Shining so bright Getting older But you'll wake up soon And fight In the morning Things you worried about Last night Will seem lighter I hope things Will turn out right Old man Through every step a change You watch me walk away Tara tara.... |

And every step I take Takes me further from heaven Is there a heaven? I`d like to think so Standards of living They're rising daily But home oh sweet home It's only a saying From bell push to faucet In smart town apartment The cottage is pretty The main house a palace Penthouse perfection But what goes on What to do there Better pray there Open plan living Bungalow ranch style All of its comforts Seem so essential I bought you mail order My plain wrapper baby Your skin is like vinyl The perfect companion You float my new pool Deluxe and delightful Inflatable doll My role is to serve you Disposable darling Can't throw you away now Immortal and life size My breath is inside you I'll dress you up daily And keep you till death sighs Inflatable doll Lover ungrateful I blew up your body But you blew my mind Oh heartache, dream home heartache Oh heartache, dream home heartache Oh heartache, dream home heartache Oh heartache, dream home heartache |

Before I die I'll write this letter Here are the secrets you must know Until the cloak of evening shadow Changes to mantle of the dawn Will it be sunny then I wonder' Rolling and turning How can I sleep' Hold on till morning What if I fall' Over the hills and down the valleys Soaring aloft and far below Lying on stony ground the fragments Truth is the seed we tried to sow Marking the time spent on our journey There isn't much we have to show Counting the cost in money only Strikes me as funny don't you know' Tongue tied the thread of conversation Weighing the words one tries to use Nevertheless communication This is the gift you must not lose Hauling me always are the voices Tell us are you ready now' Sometimes I wonder if they're real We're ready to receive you now Or is it my own imagination' Have you any more to say' Guilt is a wound that's hard to heal It's a cross you have to bear Could it be evil thoughts become me Tell us what you're thinking now Some things are better left unsaid Magical moment The spell it is breaking There is no light here Is there no key' |

Here as I sit
At this empty cafe Thinking of you I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again Though the world Is my oyster It's only a shell Full of memories And here by the Seine Notre-Dame casts A long lonely shadow Now - only sorrow No tomorrow There's no today for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterday These cities may change But there always remains My obsession Through silken waters My gondola glides And the bridge - it sighs... I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again There's no more time for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterdays Ecce momenta Illa mirabilia Quae captabit In aeternum Memor Modo dolores Sunt in dies Non est reliquum Vero tantum Comminicamus Perdita Tous ces moments Perdus dans l`enchantement Qui ne reviendront Jamais Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous Pour nous il n'y a rien A partager Sauf le pass? |

Fashion houses ladies Need plenty loose change When the latest creation Is last year's fab-rave Thought patterns hazy This auto-style age Will lady luck smile old and sage' She knows that ...... Never again, no, will I give up my heart To gamble with fate is my crime Nevertheless love, it's all here in my book I'd write it but don't have much time You see, I know it sounds crazy But what can I do' I've fallen head over heels, over you Chameleon colour All phases of moon The shifting of planets And leopard spots too As destiny wills it So seasons will change Just like you |

Warm heart we spin slowly from view Why are you sad - do you disapprove?

If you ever change your mind I´ve a certain cure An old refrain, it lingers on L´amour, toujours l´amour...

'Cause you know I'm not so sure Do I have the speed to carry on Burn you out of my mind, I know You're a flame that never fades Jungle red´s a deadly shade Both ends burning, will the fires keep Somewhere deep in my soul tonight Both ends burning Burning Burn Now my course is plain as day Running bold across to play Both ends burning with a strange desire That feeds the fire in my soul tonight I will dance the night away Living only for today Both ends burning while you're counting sheep Hell-- who can sleep in this heat this night? Tell me will I ever learn? It's too late, the rush is on Both ends burning and I can't control The fires raging in my soul tonight Oh will it never end? Put your foot around the bend Drive me crazy to an early grave Tell me what is there to save tonight Both ends burning Burning Burn Keep on burning till the end, until the end Keep on burning till the end, the very end |

Do you know what it means to me
To delight in your company? Could it happen to me? Do you know what I쨈m certain of? I would love to fall in love Could it happened to me? Hey - won쨈t you look at me? Now I??m cracked wide open - I can??t conceal My all over trembling - I??m acting strange And while you??re out of reach, I never change God knows - I??m beside myself If a tear??s a crime, then I must confess My guilty secret - I??m not ashamed Take me as I am - an average man Oh boy, is it getting rough When my old world charm isn??t quite enough? I throw you cantos - I jazz ??em up but when I lay me down - you don??t pick up Once more it??s a crying shame Only this time no-one but myself to blame All I touch turns to dust It??s right there in my cards - I ought to cut Let us sing of the tortured heart And the lonely soul in this world apart As he plays a field - takes a little pain then move our separate ways again Is it easy to say ??I do?? At this moment, 'I love you' Seems beyond me, it??s true Now that evening is closing in Should I light that fire again? Could it happen to me? Did it happen to you? |

Think I쨈ll walk out in the rain
Called you time and time again I got no reply - you쨈ve gone Reached the point of no return The more I see the more I stand alone I see the end of the line Were you ever lonely? Mystified and blue? Realising only Your number쨈s up, you쨈re through Earned my share of winning Now my turn to lose After a fair beginning The game쨈s up - I쨈m through Think I쨈ll walk out in the storm There's no love to keep me warm inside I hope it쨈s fine at the end of the line Now쨈s the time to take a dive Try a magic carpet ride Everything is wrong You쨈ve gone If you ever miss me If I should cross your mind You know where to find me I쨈ll be waiting, at the end of the line |

Surely it came as no surprise Love was too hot to handle? Well I really blew my cool, and you, you just blew out the candle... Didn??t you just try just another high? Didn??t you sign as you waved goodbye - 'just another high? I??m just another crazy guy playing with love was another high such a crazy high Lately it seems so empty here But I suppose I??m alright Maybe tomorrow??s not so clear Still I remember that night Singing to you like this is my only way to reach you and though I쨈m too proud to say it oh how I long too see you Shattered my dreams by your goodbye shattered my hopes - they fill the sky Desolate am I I'm just another crazy guy playing at love was another high just another high just another high just another high such a crazy high Maybe I should start anew and maybe I'll find someone who will maybe love me like I love you but maybe I쨈m too stuck on you yes maybe I got stuck on you maybe I got stuck on you |

Before the morning comes, will I hear your song
Come little nightingale, I won't be here for long When you're up there flying, do you care If there's no one else around? When your lover leaves you in the air Do you waver, do you fall? Now while the moon is high Shall we, nightingale, Duet all through the night A pair of souls for sale Stars cluster glistening Captive till the dawn Patiently listening They've heard it all before Should I stay here or should I go? I couldn't bear to be alone Was it really love I saw? Oh, now I'll never know What is this I hear? I recognise that song Sweet little nightingale I knew you'd come along Soon when the morning comes. We will both be gone So sing pretty nightingale Lead, I'll follow on. |

Surely you cannot be leading me on?
Well if that's so, however can I love again? How could I believe again? How can I hold on? Sentimental fool Knowing that fate is cruel, You ought to forget it. Yes, I know it's true, I've seen what love can do, But I don't regret it. Oh, you silly thing-- Don't you see what's happening? You're better without it. No, that's not the case-- If you were in my place, You never would doubt it. Sentimental fool Who broke the golden rule, You couldn't resist it. Though it's all in vain, I'd do it all again Just to relive a minute. A woman in love Can make you feel good-- You know what you're living for. She'll give you so much And keep you in touch With all that's worth living for. Oh once she gets in Through thick and through thin She'll show you what living's for. The rhythm of love It must go on Can't stop. The beat of your heart Is like a drum Will it stop? |

So far it seems Too bad the blues Blew my schemes Dynamite Such sweet surprise In southern heat Or northern skies Ain't that so Shadows cling Where shutters close Who can tell Heaven knows Why some can laugh And some can sing Stand in line Or get on down and swing Ain't that so Cross the street who's ringing bells? Peeling walls Of cheap hotels Neon flare A sudden chill And there you lie And time stands still Ain't that so |

Dance away the heartache Dance away the tears Dance away Loneliness is a crowded room Full of open hearts turned to stone All together all alone All at once my whole world had changed Now I'm in the dark, off the wall Let the strobe light up them all I close my eyes and dance till dawn Dance away Now I know I must walk the line Until I find an open door There was I - many times a fool I hope and pray, but not too much Out of reach is out of touch All the way is far enough Dance away |

That takes you by surprise That comes leaves all you need And more besides I am for a life and time by numbers Blast in fast 'n' low Add 'em up, account for luck You never know I am into friendship and plain sailing Through frenzied ports o' call O shake the hand to beat the band With love is all Or nothing to the man who wants tomorrow There's one in every town A crazy guy, he'd rather die Than be tied down I am for the man who drives the hammer To rock you 'til the grave His power drill shocks A million miles away I am for the revolution's coming I don't know where she's been For those who dare because it's there I know I've seen Now and then I've suffered imperfection I've studied marble flaws And faces drawn pale and worn By many tears I am that I am from out of nowhere to fight without a cause Roots strain against the grain With brute force you'd better Hold out when you're in doubt Question what you see And when you find an answer Bring it home to me. |

There's a band playing on the radio with a rhythm of rhyming guitars they're playing oh yeah on the radio.

As they say, two can play But keep that song away from me In my time, too much love Has made me sad for so long I was blind, can't you see Through the long, lonely night Heaven knows I believe Won't you take a chance with me Sometimes I get so blue People say I'm just a fool All the world, even you Should learn to love the way I do I was lost, can't you see Through the long, lonely night Haven knows, I believe You can take a chance with me |

Look at my hand
There's a soul on fire You can lead me even higher The main thing Everybody knows When a good thing's gone You can really turn me on The main thing You run through here With your words of sand I can nearly understand The main thing |

The way I see it
This relationship ain't right The space between us Better close it up tonight The space between us Close it up tonight The way I see it This relationship ain't right The space between us Listen here, listen, listen here, listen We better Close it up tonight |

I could show you in a word
If I wanted to A window on a world With a lovely view >From close up inside a single room With an open book aside Like you read in school It's so easy, believe me When you need fun I'd do anything to turn you on Anything to to turn you on Is it raining in New York On Fifth Avenue And off Broadway after dark Love the lights, don't you I could walk you through the park If you're feeling blue Or whatever Spring, summer, whenever Winter through fall I'd do anything to turn you on Anything to turn you on I could leave you as you were If I wanted to Then I wonder, is it fair Now you're on your own Who cares about you Except me, God help me When things go wrong I'd do anything to turn you on Must phone me, you know me When things go wrong I'd do anything to turn you on |

So it gets to seven
And I think of nothing But living in darkness And the diamond lady Well, she's not telling I don't even know here name It's amazing Times have changed In days of old Imagination'd leave you standing Out in the cold Dancing city Now you're talking But where's your soul-you've a thousand faces I'll never know There are complications And compensations If you know the game Agitated in Xenon nightly I'll take you home again Travel way downtown In search of nothing But the sky at night And the diamond lady Well, she's not talking But that's all right So I turn the pages And tell the story >From town to town People tell me Be determined Poor country boy Too much luck Means too much trouble Much time alone But arm in arm With my seaside diamond I'll soon be home |

All of those people
Everywhere Ever so needing Where's it all leading Tell me where Nothing insincere I'd better have pity I'd better go easy I never will lay down While my heart is still beating Where's it all leading Walk on air Am I still dreaming Words to spare Lost in their meaning I'd better be strong now I'd better stop dreaming My heart has flown away now Will it never stop bleeding? |

'T ain't no big thing to wait for the bell to ring
't ain't no big thing the toll of the bell. Aggravated spare for days I troll down town the redlight place Jump up bubble up what's in store Love is the drug and I need to score. Showing out showing out Hit and run Boy meets girl where the beat goes on Stiched up tight can't shake free Love is the drug got a hook on me Oh catch that buzz love is the drug I'm thinking of Oh can't you see love is the drug for me. Late at night I parked my car staked my place in the singles bar. Face to face toe to toe Heart to heart as we hit the floor. Lumbered up limbo down The locked embrace stumble round I say go she say yes Dim the lights you can guess the rest. Oh catch the buzz |

Friday night she got carried away Suzie lost everything she see Johnny found out she didn't understand She wanted it all, she wanted it all Saturday she was laughing it off Johnny's lonely as he can be Everyone seemed to agree Suzie don't need sympathy But Sunday morning she drove her car into a wall Lonely one, a wall is not a home Lonely one, a soul is not a throne Lies are highs, the truth is out on loan Johnny ran down to the hospital ward And he tried to apologise He said " You were too weak and you could not speak And I've been blind and you know I'm crying Sometimes I turn off, want the world to go away But if you ever come around I'll never let you down" And the doctor said "Who's gonna pay for the bed?" Lonely one, you always feel the same (Why do they want all my time?) Lonely one, it's such a childish game (Why isn't anything mine?) Lonely one, you're going to go insane Lonely one, the stars were meant for you Eyes are yours but you don't own the view Lonely one, do what you gotta do Time runs out for the innocent man When he can't get what he wants Johnny wears shades and he holds a blade On no, you mustn't do that, you mustn't do that Sometimes you turn off, want the world to go away Whatever keeps you alive All that you need to survive Any old way to keep the things you know from Bringing you down Saint Serene, get me on Flight 19 Saint Serene, get me on Flight 19 Saint Serene, get me on Flight 19 |

Saw your face on TV You said its alright have no fear I'm here Panics ended Your rights defended From those who tried to tell you About the other side of life The strife that's going on Go to sleep now Count the sheep now With us the dream will never end It's easy to take what you are told They said we need law and order But no all your lives are bought and sold And just for some law and order Now the days grow colder The plans they've got for you are clear So clear You're not so sure You want that cure And those who tried to tell you About the shit that's going down Are found out on the moor But just don't ask how Curfew starts now Get off the streets and bolt the door We'll get away form here one day I'll take you across the border There's gotta be somewhere we can stay Where they don't need law and order |

Thunder rolling down out of dried-up skies Every inch of earth crying out for water Television man spelling out the price Everywhere the sheep creeping the slaughter Cold weather coming, people feel the fire Living on Dead End Street with no desire Is it any wonder you've got no power When you pay a thief to keep it for you? Is it a surprise that your wine is sour When you let a liar choose the brew he pours you? Talk on the wire about force and choice It's uncomfortable to raise your voice Everybody whispering behind their hand Selling their despair to any stronger man Don't have to listen now We taught ourselves to trust our heads It's getting us nowhere If fifty-five million hearts can't feel it We'll never know where Polish up your silver and hide your gold Send the lookout man down to every corner Gather in the place where it's bought and sold Next to where you once used to be a learner Cold weather coming, people feel the fire Living on Dead End Street with no desire You gotta listen now |

All the peasants in the squares
At the tables and their chairs Set to salvage certain numbers From the wonder of the Tundra And the muses in the gloom Counting needles in their rooms On the carpet in the corner In a kind of secret slumber While the information rain Slashed the dirty windowpane to the square Smokey broads and smoky windows in the square Come come charmer come on over for the day Disappearing cocoa forests flash and die Fortunes crumble all demolished in the bay Over forty pointed people In the perfect pointed steeple Looked to see the lucky number Yes the wonder of the Tundra Had come up to fame and fortune Singing his tune, my tune, your tune Wooing daughters of the gifted On the carpets and the courtrooms While the tickets were expensive The show was quite relentless in the square Smokey broads and smoky windows in the square Come come charmer come on over for the day Disappearing cocoa forests flash and die Fortunes crumble all demolished in the bay Dalai Llama lama puss puss Stella maris missa nobis Miss a dinner Miss Shapiro Shampoos pot-pot pinkies pampered Movement hampered like at Christmas Ha-ha isn't life a circus Round in Circles like the Archers Always stiff and always starchy Yes it's happening and it's fattening And it's all that we can get into the show Smokey broads and smoky windows in the square Come come charmer come on over for the day Disappearing cocoa forests flash and die Fortunes crumble all demolished in the bay |

All your cares now they seem, oh, so far away All your fears I fear I once shared Now I know there's a future for all of us Not so long ago I was so scared. You seemed so sad, I could see through your twisted smile So unsure, always confused Pale blue eyes gazing down from your ivory tower Through the haze, all broken and bruised. Then out of the blue love came rushing in Out of the sky came the sun Out of left field came a lucky day Out of the blue, no more pain. I don't mind if it's only a passing craze Throwaway lines often rang true If I were you I would stay for a little while If you were me, would you walk out in style ? |

Want to know a secret, most people are that bad
Compassion leads to many lies and trying to apply it will just drive you mad It's only destiny calling with the usual show Get out while you've got time, make up your heart and find the kind of folk who really love. You want to know how to tell them apart You want to know how to feel in your heart Too bad for you that they don't do a five day course in caring you could play the part You're still searching for the ones who were near You're still itching for that great panacea But first you got to be alone and think what kept your friends contented all those years. Something about their eyes I thought you couid tell by now Remote control, off and jump now Remote control, pull out the wires Remote control, off and jump now Remote control, pull out the wires.

Here as I sit
At this empty cafe Thinking of you I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again Though the world Is my oyster It's only a shell Full of memories And here by the Seine Notre-Dame casts A long lonely shadow Now - only sorrow No tomorrow There's no today for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterday These cities may change But there always remains My obsession Through silken waters My gondola glides And the bridge - it sighs... I remember All those moments Lost in wonder That we'll never Find again There's no more time for us Nothing is there For us to share But yesterdays Ecce momenta Illa mirabilia Quae captabit In aeternum Memor Modo dolores Sunt in dies Non est reliquum Vero tantum Comminicamus Perdita Tous ces moments Perdus dans l`enchantement Qui ne reviendront Jamais Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous Pour nous il n'y a rien A partager Sauf le pass? |

I've been around
So far it seems Too bad the blues Blew my schemes Dynamite Such sweet surprise In southern heat Or northern skies Ain't that so Shadows cling Where shutters close Who can tell Heaven knows Why some can laugh And some can sing Stand in line Or get on down and swing Ain't that so Cross the street who's ringing bells? Peeling walls Of cheap hotels Neon flare A sudden chill And there you lie And time stands still Ain't that so |

Oh angel eyes
Am I deceived or did you sigh? For all I know you let your love light Shine on me Oh angel eyes You never close, who's got the time? Well I can wait until your love light Shine on me Oh angel eyes Seems to me you fill the skies I'm far below so let your love light Shine on me Oh angel eyes On the wing and opened wide Now matter now how how the moon Shine down on me [Repeat: x4] Angel, angel eyes ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By FERRY, MACKAY <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

There's a new sensation A fabulous creation A danceable solution To teenage revolution Do the Strand love When you feel love It's the new way That's why we say Do the Strand Do it on the tables Quaglino's place or Mabel's Slow and gentle Sentimental All styles served here Louis Seize he prefer Laissez-faire Le Strand Tired of the tango Fed up with fandango Dance on moonbeams Slide on rainbows In furs or blue jeans You know what I mean Do the Strand Had your fill of Quadrilles The Madison and cheap thrills Bored with the Beguine The samba isn't your scene They're playing our tune By the pale moon We're incognito Down the Lido And we like the Strand Arabs at oasis Eskimos and Chinese If you feel blue Look through Who's Who See La Goulue And Nijinsky Do the Strandsky Weary of the Waltz And mashed potato schmaltz Rhododendron Is a nice flower Evergreen It lasts forever But it can't beat Strand power The Sphynx and Mona Lisa Lolita and Guernica Did the Strand |

In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take Takes me further from heaven Is there a heaven? I`d like to think so Standards of living They're rising daily But home oh sweet home It's only a saying From bell push to faucet In smart town apartment The cottage is pretty The main house a palace Penthouse perfection But what goes on What to do there Better pray there Open plan living Bungalow ranch style All of its comforts Seem so essential I bought you mail order My plain wrapper baby Your skin is like vinyl The perfect companion You float my new pool Deluxe and delightful Inflatable doll My role is to serve you Disposable darling Can't throw you away now Immortal and life size My breath is inside you I'll dress you up daily And keep you till death sighs Inflatable doll Lover ungrateful I blew up your body But you blew my mind Oh heartache, dream home heartache Oh heartache, dream home heartache Oh heartache, dream home heartache Oh heartache, dream home heartache |

You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town You've got me girl on the run around And it's getting me down, getting me down Lady if you want to find a lover Then you look no further For I'm gonna be your only Searching at the start of the season And my only reason Is that I'll get to you I'll find some way of connection Hiding my intention Then I'll move up close to you I'll use you and I'll confuse you And the I'll lose you Still you won't suspect me |
