Un, deux, trois, quatre...

I feel like sending you a love letter
Lets face it, nobody does it better
You're a promising prospect
from what I've seen
If you wanna take me out on a detour
I'm not feeling too demure

Only this morning
without any warning
A tropical storm was passing through
and so were you
I heard the waves crashing
Saw your eyes flashing
A tropical storm was passing through
and so were you

What do you wear
When you need to impress
Just slip into high heals
And a brand new little black dress

You're such a success
Wearing a little black dress
And out to impress

(Do it. Do it. Do it now. Do it.)

Late on Tuesday evening such a commotion in the street
Someone broke a window and someone's head got beat
A wave of breaking bottles crashed across the city street
and someone got arrested for a breach of the peace

If you wanna walk, don't talk, do it

He's got a powerful friend
Who owes him nothing and knows how to spend
Lives in his apartment for free
Waits on the table at tea
Whips up the coffee and cream
Sometimes cries or he'd scream

Phones for the grocery van

Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits of your labour on the walls
Such precision and care
What does it matter if there's no one here to share
The flowers in the garden, the wine
The Waiting For Godot and so much modern time?

All I want is what you want

Typical day
Cars being towed away
Junk mail through the door
joins the post on the floor
Drilling
always someone drilling
somewhere in the city
authorised by committee

It’s something that look in your eyes tonight
Like magic it’s changing everything in sight
I hear it all around me everyday
In the music that you play

This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world
This is a song about boys and girls

Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could
Little things I should've said and done, I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine

Turn it on


Electric
 energy, electric energy
Electric energy, electric energy
Turn it on
Electric
Electric energy, electric energy
Electric energy


City life just leaves me weak
All this madness on the street
Need to get away today
Live my life a different way

Is it only a fantasy
To dream about a perfect me?

The telephone's not answered
So many times you'll call
For many different reasons
So many tears will fall before

You find your love before
It comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure

СКУКА

Передо мной лежат фотоснимки
И приглашения на вечеринки.
"Одеться в белое!" - читаю цитату,
Что сказана супругой писателя
В двадцатых годах...

Did you ever feel betrayed by someone in your life?
Did you ever give your trust and have it sold?
For the sake of cheap expedience I now experience
feeling betrayed by you

I woke at five this morning with you on my mind
replaying conversations in my head
You said if you'd to choose between some money and a friend

We sailed on a fishing-boat
between these two shores
the Island of Lovers
and the Island of Whores

You at the helm getting
soaked to the skin
taking me to places

Birthday boy
can't explain
Christmas Eve
He's born again

On the line
a broken train
going nowhere

Raise your voice
Start a feud
Spoiled for Joyce
I hesitate
To intrude

Bolshy bolshy bolshy oh
Bolshy bolshy bolshy oh

Protection (prevention)
Detection (detention)
There's no where to defect to any more

I'm building a wall
A fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in

Еще одну ночь не сомкнул глаз,
Слишком поздно, чтобы заснуть, слишком рано, чтобы вставать...
Перехватило дыхание - это сердечный приступ?
Действительно, твое лицо горит, как в лихорадке.

Ты влюблен, и это чувство, как стыд,
Потому, что она опять выставила тебя при всех дураком.
Ты влюблен, и это чувство, как боль,

The girl's perfection
inspires affection
It's queer
that here
he can't cast his spell
in her direction
Somewhere near
One senses fear

The cathedral's glittering on coronation day
Crowned heads and cardinals under military sway
I approach the altar slowly in a humble shroud
to receive the acclamation of the loyal crowd

Give me power over people in a palace
with a permanent guard
and the flags unfurled

Did you see me coming? Was I that obvious?
For all of a sudden there were just the two of us

You don't have to be in Who's Who to know what's what
You don't have to be a high flier to catch your flight
The night we met was cold and wet I needed a drink or two
I saw you standing there and I knew I'd love to be loved by you

Hay una discoteca por aqui?

I don't speak the language
I can't understand a word
Where angels fear to tread
I've sometimes walked
and tried to talk
but how can I be heard

(All day, all day)

I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you but I'm not sure now
I've seen you look at strangers too many times
A love you once is of a, a different kind
Remember when we felt the sun
A love like paradise, how hot it burned

Dreaming of the Queen
Visiting for tea
You and her and I
And Lady Di

The Queen said: "I'm aghast
Love never seems to last
However hard you try"

Communications never been as easy as today
And it would make me happy when you've gone so far away
You'd send me an e-mail that says, I love you
Send me an e-mail that says, I love you
Now time and distance melt away, no digital delay
And some things can be written down but we're too shy to say
Send me an e-mail that says, I love you
Send me an e-mail that says, I love you

Ego music
It's all about me
Ego music
It's all about me

Me Me Me Me
Yes Yes Yes Yes
You You You You

You said you're overreacting
You're reading too much into this
If you think this is important
Your sense of proportion has gone
I said ,really?

Everything means something
And something has occured

You live in a world of excess
where more is more
and less is much less
A day without fame
is a waste
and a question of need
is a question of taste

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

Whenever trouble comes around
or lonely nights lead underground
and far in the dark
abandoned cars suddenly start up

For your own good call me tonight
Don't you think you should call me tonight?
Life isn't easy so why don't you stay?
With the lover you need not the devil you pay
For your own good call me tonight

For your own good call me tonight
Don't you think I could make a difference tonight?

People in love, people in love, people in love, people in love
People in love, people in love, people in love, people in love

I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it

An inspirational tirade against me
How to explain my life?
Boys to the left of me
girls to the right of me
neither husband nor wife
Though the days are filled with pain
there is no one who'll explain
why I'm coming under friendly fire

Don't stare at the setting sun
and say youth is wasted on the young
Don't stare at the setting sun
and say youth is wasted on the young

Pour another gin, love
and go easy on the tonic
Tonight I'm in a frisky mood

Somewhere out in the heart of suburbia
Flinching from the words that could almost murder her
Listen
It's the final day

Whatever boys say
Girls don't cry
Whatever boys say

Give it a go
Give it a go
Give it a go
Give it a go

Give it a go
Why don't you choose me?
Say it's not so

Pet Shop Boys - Go West

Together) We will go our way
(Together) We will leave some day
(Together) Your hand in my hand
(Together) We will make our plan

(Together) We will fly so high

It’s a long way to happiness, a long way to go,
But I'm gonna get there, boy, the only way I know!
'Cause it’s a long way to happiness, a long way to go,

(Tennant/Lowe/Clinton)
-------------------------

It is not easy
It is not easy

Looking from a window
at the back of a house

(Beats)
(H-H-Heartbeats)
Every time I see you something happens to me
Like a chain reaction between you and me
My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
Every time
Oh oh oh, every time

Here they sit, talking rot,
Saddam Hussein and Pol Pot.
Mau Tse-tung bares his gnashers,
At Idi Amin's and Emperor Bokassa's.

There he is, Joseph Stalin,
Thick as thieves with that old boy Lenin.
Look at the two of them, putting the boot in,

У всех нас есть мечты о месте, где мы есть,
Огонь горит, радио включено.
Кто-то улыбается, и это означает "Я тебя люблю",
Но иногда мы не замечаем, когда мечта сбылась.

У тебя здесь есть дом,
Называйте это как хотите, у тебя здесь есть дом.

If you want to know
why I miss you so
just think back to the first time
we were in love
The night was getting late
I recognised my fate
When you spoke
I awoke

So my baby's on the road doing business, selling loads
Charming everyone there with the sweetest smile

Oh tonight, I miss you, oh tonight, I wish you
Could be here with me but I won't see you
Till you've made it back again
Home and dry, home and dry

How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously?

You live upon a stage and everyone's agreed
you're the brightest hope by far that anyone can see
So when you take the limelight you can guarantee
you're gaining fame and claiming credibility
Tell me baby are you gonna get high as a kite?
Tell me baby are you gonna let it happen every night?

See you on the TV
Call you every day
Fly across the ocean
Just to let you get your way
No one understands me
Where I'm coming from
Why would I be with someone
Who's obviously so dumb?

Love it's not I who didn't try
Hard enough hard enough
And this is why I'm saying goodbye
I've had enough, I've had enough

Love you don't see the pain in me
It's plain enough, plain enough
You're never here to catch the tears

Why did I listen to that music?
It's made me feel so sad
and brought it home to me once more
I want what I cannot have
When you can't get what you want
you still have all the rest
but isn't it sad to settle for second-best?

Did you get what you want? Do you know what it is?
Do you care?
Is he better than me? Was it your place or his?
Who was there?
Did you think it was wrong? Do you find that it's worse
Than it was?
Has it gone on too long? Do you mind that it hurts me?
Because you're breaking my heart

Did you get what you want
Do you know what it is
Do you care
Is he better than me
Was it your place or his
Who was there
Did you think it was wrong

I Don't Wanna

I don’t wanna go out
I don’t wanna go dancing

Lonely boy
He has his head in the clouds
Sits at home

Feeling like I'm stuck in a hole
body and soul
while you're out of control
Now I know why you had to go
well I think we both know
why it had to be so
I've been trying not to cry
when I'm in the public eye

Rent

You dress me up, I'm your puppet
You buy me things, I love it
You bring me food, I need it
You give me love, I feed it

And look at the two of us in sympathy

I walked into the room
Imagine my surprise
You were sitting close to him
Staring in each other's eyes

Each of you looked up
But no one said a word
I felt I should apologise

I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I couldn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no

I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen

Я хочу собаку. Породы чау-чау
Потому что когда я возвращаюсь в свою маленькую квартиру
Я хочу слышать чей-нибудь лай

Да, можно остаться одиноким

Не хочу кошку,
Которая распускает когти и царапает мою квартиру

At this time of night, when the crowds have passed
We're the last to leave, we need some company
No need to look so shy, don't even wonder why
You know the reason that we need this company
I've been sitting here, looking out for you
Someone just like me, who's
maybe had a drink or two
I don't want another drink or fight

Ask me why,
I say it's most unusual
How can I even try to explain
Why today I feel like dancing
Singing like lovers sing
When I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing?
I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing

Your life's a mystery, mine is an open book
If I could read your mind I think I'd take a look
I don't care, baby, I'm not scared
What have you got to fight? What do you need to prove?
You're always telling lies and that's the only truth
I don't care, baby, I'm not scared

Tonight, the streets are full of actors

Oh-oh, I'm with Stupid, oh-oh, I'm with Stupid

See you on the TV call you every day
Fly across the ocean just to let you get your way
No one understands me where I'm coming from
Why would I be with someone who's obviously so dumb?
Love comes, love grows
Every time you rise to meet me take my hand to greet me

In bits (Tennant/Lowe)

I’m in bits
scared out of my wits
In bits
from that verbal blitz
I’m in bits
calling it quits

In his imagination
he's flying high
His thoughts are wings
taking him up
into the sky
In his imagination
he's anywhere
When he floats back down to earth

Zazou, what you're gonna do?
There's a lot of people coming for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night

That Zazou, he don't care
Dark glasses, long hair
Takes his time, sneers at men

I was lost for so long
Feels like it's taken half my life
To find where I belong
Seeing you here
You're my nation
This is my application

Give me hope

To making a ride inside a dream
Live in a world I've never seen
Wishes come true, that should have him
Looks familiar, feels unseen

Inside a dream
Inside a dream
Inside a dream

Long live us еhe persuaded
We integral сollectively
To the whole project it's brand
New conceived solely to protect you
Everyone has their own number
In the system that we operate under
We're moving to a situation
Where your lives exist as information

After being for so many years
the life and soul of the party
it's weird
I'm invisible
Whatever I
have said and done
doesn't matter in this chatter
and hum

I can't be cool
Or nonchalant
Call me an impulsive fool
You're all I want
You may be right
It's too much too soon
To talk of love all night
In your bedroom

Yesterday, remember how clear it seemed
In six inch heels, quoting magazines
Go all the way, you knew you could
So far, so good

Someone asked: Who do you think you are?
Who pays your bills? How come you came this far?
Shrugged him off, and locked the door

Когда я пересматриваю свою жизнь,
Всегда ощущаю позор:
Я всегда был тем, кого можно во всем обвинить.

Во всем, что я делал,
Независимо от того, когда, где и с кем,
Было одно общее -
Это, это, это, это грех.

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

Dictation being forced in Afghanistan
Revolution in South Africa taking a stand
People in Eurasia on the brink of oppression
I hope it's going to be alright
I hope the music plays forever
Forests falling at a desperate pace
The earth is dying, and desert taking its place
People under pressure on the brink of starvation

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

Lawrence in the desert, how was he to know
Under so much pressure from the men back home?

Play with fire, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
Play with guns, you must be bad
Or hiding something, Jack!

At dead of night, when strangers roam
The streets in search of anyone who'll take them home
I lie alone, the clock strikes three
And anyone who wanted to could contact me
At dead of night, 'till break of day
Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake
It's much too late

Small man
Big world
Lost beyond the pale
I know you
Inside out
I can tell the tale

Across the sky

The man at the back of the queue was sent
To feel the smack of firm government
Linger by the flyposter, for a fight
It's the same story every night
I've been hurt and we've been had
You leave home, and you don't go back

Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday

You wait 'til later
'Til later tonight
You wait 'til later, 'til later
'Til later tonight

That boy never cast a look in your direction
Never tried to hook for your affection
Dresses like the mod of your invention, tall and proud

I know enough's enough and you're leaving
You've had enough time to decide on your freedom
But I can still find some hope to believe in love

Our love is dead
But the dead don't go away
They made us what we are
The're with us every day

I know enough's enough and you're leaving
You've had enough time to decide on your freedom
But I can still find some hope to believe in love

Our love is dead
But the dead don't go away
They made us what we are
The're with us every day

I get out of bed at half past ten
Phone up a friend, who's a party animal
Turn on the news and drink some tea
Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping

One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest
But I don't like to compete, or talk street, street, street

Take my hand,
I've changed my mind again
Really, I believed it true
That all who fell in love were foolish
But I was wrong,
I've learned that lesson well
All the way back home at midnight
You were sleeping on my shoulder

We came from the far North summered in Crimea
Deserted the armed forces had to disappear
Made it to the free West on a chartered flight
So we could see what we trained to fight

We were in London
Let's do it, let's break the law
We were in London, tell it like it is

The sun comes up - I think about you
The coffee cup - I think about you
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends - I think about you
I talk to friends and think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind?
All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright

Sooner or later
this happens to everyone
to everyone

You can live your life lonely
heavy as stone
Live your life learning
and working alone

You need more (9x)

Boy, it's tough getting on in the world
When the sun doesn't shine
And a boy needs a girl
It's about getting out of a rut
You need luck
But you're stuck and you don't know how

You need more You need more You need more You need more
You need more You need more You need more You need more
You need more

Boy it’s tough getting on in the world
When the sun doesn’t shine and a boy needs a girl
It’s about getting out of a rut, you need luck
But you’re stuck and you don’t know how, oh

I've been taking my time for a long time
Putting my feet up a lot
Speaking English as a foreign language
any words that I haven't forgot
I've been thinking how I can't be bothered
to wash the dishes or remake the bed
What's the point when I could doss instead?

Love is a catastrophe
Look what it's done to me
Brought me down here so low
stranded, nowhere to go

No concentration
just rerunning conversation
Trying to understand

You seem to be
Inevitable to me
Like a memory of the future
I was and will be with you

Over and over again
I keep tasting that sweet madeleine
Looking back to my life now and then

(Me - ta - mor - pho - sis)
(Me - ta - mor - pho - sis)
(Me - ta - mor - pho - sis)
(Me - ta - mor - pho - sis)

(I - I - I - I - I - I, I wanna know, yeah)
(I - I - I - I - I - I, I wanna know)

Clouds drift away
when they see you
Rain wouldn't dare
to fall near you here
Miracles happen
when you're around
Somehow the grass is much greener
Rivers flow faster and cleaner

It seems to me there's something serious beginning
A new approach found to the meaning of life
Deny that happiness is open as an option
And disappointment disappears over night

Say that love is an impossible dream
Face the facts, that's what it's always been
Relax, what you see is what you've seen

Coming soon something good
Something we can share, understood
Could be better news we can share
Something's coming soon I hear it everywhere

Live it
It's the story of our lives
Give it

My girl

My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna see the film tonight
I found it hard to say
She thought i'd had enough of her
Why can't she see
She's lovely to me?

So much confusion
When autumn comes around
What to do about October
How to smile behind a frown?
It's hard to settle down

It's so bemusing
Will they cancel the parade?

When you're a boy
some days are tough
lying on your bed
playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp
you gotta escape
Wanna go and wander
in the ticker-tape

Night song

Evening's coming on
like a lovely buttered scone
Night will soon appear
like a little fish's ear
Then all will be dark
like in the belly of a shark

When you're alone
there's no one around
Gotta get yourself out
Away from home
people know how to party

A permanent frown
won't get you a lover

This is no time for tears
Though our hearts are bleeding
One for all and all for one for freedom

A bird flies across the sea
Free as his brother, where is the freedom
We've been dreaming of for so long?

Mandy's in the papers 'cause she tried to go to Spain
She'll soon be in the dock and in the papers once again
Vicki's got her story about the mirror and the cane
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved

Stephen's in his dressing-gown now, breakfasting alone
Too sick to eat, he's on his feet and to the telephone

Don't wanna hear the news
What's going on
What's coming through
I don't wanna know
don't wanna know
Just wanna hide away
make my my escape
Just want the world

Have you heard the news?
Everybody’s asking who
Is that man you’ve been seen with
And why I’m never out with you

Please, tell me that you love me
Sort out this confusion
Say our love is still alive

Why
This uncertainty?
It's not clear to me
Would you rather be independent?
Have I lost your love?
Have you had enough?
Do you feel too much resentment?
How can I make you see

The city is quiet, too cold to walk alone
Strangers in overcoats hurry on home
Tonight I've been walking in the rain
Someone's been talking and I've got the blame

Chained, framed, you know what I mean
Push me in a corner and I'll scream
Just give me one more, one more chance

They close your eyes, and the doctor says it's too late
You wonder why your life passes before you
In the dark, you slip into a coma
You crash the car, you've gone too far
Policemen flash, they want credentials
You go too fast, but you're not careful
So you drive back home, in confusion, alone
She's a man, but when you get down to it

It's only the wind blowing litter all around
Just a little wind and the trees are falling down
There's nobody crying, that was yesterday
Inside we're all smiling, everything's okay

It's only the wind blowing cans along the street
Someone's dustbin lid playing havoc with the peace
There's nobody hiding behind a locked door

I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of - money

I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed

Is this a riot or are you just pleased to see me?
Why aren't we holding hands and talking sweet
I love you really, though I know no-one believes me
There's chaos every time we meet

Oh now look what you've gone and done
You're creating pandemonium
That song you sing means everything

Passion and love, sex, money
Violence, religion, injustice, death
Paninaro, paninaro, oh oh oh
Girls, boys, arts, pleasure
Girls, boys, arts, pleasure
Paninaro, paninaro, oh oh oh
Food, cars, travel
Food, cars, travel

Passion and love and sex and money
Violence, religion, injustice and death

Paninaro, Paninaro oh oh oh

Girls, boys, art, pleasure
Girls, boys, art, pleasure

Passion and love and sex and money
Violence, religion, injustice and death

Paninaro, paninaro, oh oh oh

Girls, boys, art, pleasure
Girls, boys, art, pleasure

Here we are
where we were
back on everything
Went too far
now we're fine
back on everything
So much for making it day by day
Back on everything

You've got a problem
With the reason why
An asymmetric haircut
And a painted eye
It's psychological
(Psychological)

Is it a cry for help

In the air (radiophonic), in the air (radiophonic), in the air

The night was long, now the crowd has gone, there's sunlight on my bed
Feels like a radiophonic workshop's beaming straight into my head
It could make you weep, I can't get to sleep, there's ringing in my ears
Like a radiophonic workshop orchestrating all my stupid fears

(Radiophonic) I think I'm in love (radiophonic)

You dress me up, I'm your puppet
You buy me things, and I love it
You bring me food, and I need it
You give me love, and I feel it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything, it's easy

I thought it was like a film
Reviewed but never seen
Where everybody played themselves
As a drama king or queen

The music was overwhelming
Glitter in and fiend
Some are chavy like a requiem

I've watched you from a distance
I've passed you on the street
I'm obsessed with you
I don't know what to do
To make you pay attention
and fall in love with me
I'm obsessed with you
I don't know what to do

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Aah-aah-aah-aah)

Come outside and see a brand new day
The troubles in your mind will blow away
It's easy to believe they're here to stay
But you won't find them standing in your way

He believed if you had a little faith
you could stop the rain
and he believed if you got a little love
it would ease the pain
but still he's suffering

Searching for the face of Jesus
Looking for the light we need

Came down from the North
You know the way they do
Got a cheeky smile
Sexy Northerner

Hanging round the clubs
Gets in them for free
Don't know how he does it

Come on, come on, come on, come on
(Together) we will go our way
(Together) we will leave someday
(Together) your hand in my hands
(Together) we will make our plans
(Together) we will fly so high
(Together) tell all our friends goodbye
(Together) we will start life new

We're buying and selling your history
How we go about it is no mystery
We check it with the city, then change the law
Are you looking forward?
Now you want some more

We're S-H-O-PP-I-N-G, we're shopping

The prospect of sun.
Page after page
of black-and-white portraits.
A silver age.

Scent of a sunset.
On a stage,
difficult music.

I doublecross you
And you get mysterious mail
I've tried hard not to shock you
It's hard not to with the things I could say
Tell me why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
Why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?

There's been some speculation about a recent invitation
There's been some speculation about a recent invitation
What's your game?
What's his name?

Is it your inclination to accept this invitation?
Is it your inclination to accept this invitation?
What's your game?

Lost in the high street, where the dogs run
Roaming suburban boys
Mother's got a hairdo to be done
She says they're too old for toys
Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen
In this suburban hell
And in the distance a police car
To break the suburban spell

My Love song !!!

I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
You'd been and gone - I know you lied
That's my impression
That's my impression

Will someone please say the unsayable?
Will someone please tell me I'm wrong?
I live every day like a sad beast of prey
For I have to appear to be strong
And that's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong

Today I met with the generals

Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it!"

Pity him, the former
enfant terrible,
his career in aspic,
bent on pleasure,
gamely attempting
the tricky transition

(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
(How long will you do some more?)
(How long will you do some more?)
(You got to You got to Love Love)
(Come on, how long will you do some more?)
(How long will you do some more?)
(LoLoLoLoLove)

I was backstage

Couldn't believe my luck was in
I saw him approach
Wearing a most approachable grin

When he said hello
I was surprised he spoke so politely

The only one

I think of you
and wonder who
you are and what's your line
I wonder if
there's someone else
or if it's true that I'm

A brave face
stiff upper lip
will do the trick
Look
the mask is firm
the face is mine
It seems fine

Remember those days
- the early 90s?
We both applied for places
at the same university
Ended up in London
where we needed to be
to follow our obsession
with the music scene

Crossing Blackfriar's Bridge to Guy's
then back to Bart's for a better price
Our goods are dear but they're never shoddy
Tell me: anybody need a body

From a resurrectionist?
Medical scientist
We've all got to earn ourselves a living

I lived a quiet life
A stranger to champagne
I never dared to venture out
To cities of the plain
I'd heard about their way of life
Took it with a pinch of salt
The freedom and the time to play
A life so easy

Cross a windy bridge one winter night
Past Embankment Gardens enter warmth and light
Face the music (It's never easy)
Forget the chill
Face the future (It's never easy)
Find the will

It's another world here
The streets are gleaming
I was even dreaming
that they're paved with gold
Seventeen at half past ten
All the crowds are surging past
An electric display

Parked inside the lay-by
their destination can wait
dancing in the moonlight
the truck-driver and his mate

Acting out of compulsion
after hours sitting in the van
taking coals to Newcastle

Let us forget any sadness
together tonight
Pour me some wine
turn off the light
and look at the view from your balcony
London through your eyes
No one but you to keep me company
twenty floors up a high-rise

I'm here, you're there
Come closer, tonight I'm lonely
Come here with me
I want it the way it used to be
What is left of love?
Tell me, who would even care?
So much time has passed
I'd still meet you anywhere

01 - Left To My Own Devices
02 - Rent
03 - You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk
04 - The Sodom And Gomorrah Show
05 - Casanova In Hell
06 - After All
07 - Friendly Fire
08 - Integral

Each morning after Sunblest
Feel the benefit, mental arithmetic
I waited by the staffroom
in time for benediction

Living a law just short of delusion
When we fall in love there's confusion
This must be the place I waited years to leave

You know it hurts me when you lie
Sometimes it even makes me cry
'Cause I'm so in love with you
If you don't believe what I have said
Take a look, my eyes are red
'Cause I'm so in love with you
But all those sleepless nights in bed
When you've been out somewhere instead

We've been around forever
Look at us now together
Ordering drinks at the bar
Saying hello to manfriends
Smiling across a friend's friends
Ordering drinks at the bar
To speak is a sin
You look first, then stare

By the cathedral into the sun
pilgrims are singing their journey done
I look at my short life and think
of all the champagne that I drink
with all the faces that I know
and how much further can one go?

And if I decide to step aside

Together we'll go all the way

Tell me what you want from me
Give me what I need from you
Anything you want to do
I'm gonna need to follow through
Everything I have is yours
I pray you understand because

I may be wrong, I may be right
Money's short, time is tight
Don't even think about those bills
Don't pay the price, we never will
We're out again another night
We'll never have enough
It could be like this forever
If we fall in love

I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once The husband or the hedonist
The businessman or the communist
The artist or the showbizz creep
The lover or the nervous geek
The question of identity is one that's always

Twenty-something good as new
Expectations got a few
Find an issue get ahead
Got it sorted like you said
You’re twenty-something join the queue

Twenty-something in the mix
Always that ironic twist

(Two divided by zero, zero)
(Two divided by zero, zero, zero)

Let's not go home
We'll catch the late train
I've got enough money
to pay on the way
When the postman calls

News in this city breaks without pity
Long after the war has ended we're still in fatigues
Up against it
The higher you fly the further you fall
Up against it
Wondering why we fought after all
Such a cold winter with scenes as slows as Pinter
Synchronize your watches there's still time to kill

Doing my best to stay healthy
Few of my words are obscene
Eating, working, walking, talking, sleeping
Should be my daily routine

But I've got a secret agenda
I miss you so much I'm a mess
I float away like a cloud in trousers

The sons and brothers, fighting for another cause
Anything to give their lives some meaning
Busy with their guns and dreaming
Far away from here
Said they would act in self-defense

And all the others, running 'round so hot and bothered
Anything to give their lives some meaning

You may think I'm strong
And I can do no wrong
But I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

I may be hard to take
But you can call me fake

Well I don't know why I was dreaming about you
But I do know that I was dancing without you
Then you smiled, and I was lost
You fall in love, why count the cost?

All I gave to you
All you made me do
I react when I hear people ask

Suburbia's a slipstream
to a memory
of a time when you were
close to me
I pretend
I'm there again
I close my eyes and see you
better than before

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a west end town
Call the police, there's a mad man around
Running down underground to a dive bar in a west end town

(....forever)

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around

You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for my living
How'm I gonna get through?
How'm I gonna get through?

I come here looking for money
(Got to have it)

(Burning down love)
(Burning down love)

I want to run, I want to hide
I want to break down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out, and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
Ah-ha-ah

This is the moment
we'll remember every day for the rest of our lives.
Time may rush us,
hurdle of us,
but on this day we have arrived.

It's been a long time coming,
we've been in the running for so long,

Darling, you were wonderful, you really were quite good
I enjoyed it, though, of course, no one understood
A word of what was going on, they didn't have a clue
They couldn't understand your sense of humour like I do

You're much too kind
I smiled with murder on my mind

What a performance tonight
Should I react or turn off
the light?
Looks like you're picking
a fight
in a blurring of wrong
and right
But how your mood changes

You've been around
But you don't look too rough
And I still quite like some of your early stuff
It's bad in a good way
If you know what I mean
The sound of those old machines

You've been around

When I look back upon my life, it's always with a sense of shame.
I've always been the one to blame.
For everything I long to do, no matter when or where or who,
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, It's a, It's a, It's a sin, It's a sin..
Everything I've ever done, everything I ever do,
Every place I've ever been, everywhere I'm going to, It's a sin!!
