One More Chance
|
|
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 One more, one more chance I will find out wherever you are drinking in another club or driving in your car Walking through empty streets Stupid fool, that was yours for keeps Chained, framed, you know what I mean Push me in a corner and I'll scream One more, one more chance Give me one more, one more chance Give me one more, one more chance Give me one more chance, one more chance tonight 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 Give me one more, one more chance Give me one more, one more chance Give me one more chance, one more chance tonight You're so extreme I want to take you home with me Come on, tell me one more time I don't mind, baby, I don't mind I don't mind Just give me one more... |

What Have I Done to Deserve This?
|
|
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) and end up leaving with love Now you've left me with nothing (Can't take it) How'm I gonna get through? How'm I gonna get through? I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers I read your books and talked for hours Every day so many drinks such pretty flowers, so tell me What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? What have I, what have I, what have I... Since you went away I've been hanging around I've been wondering why I'm feeling down You went away, it should make me feel better but I don't know how I'm gonna get through How I'm gonna get through You always wanted me to be something I wasn't You always wanted too much Now I can do what I want to forever How'm I gonna get through? How'm I gonna get through? At night, the people come and go They talk too fast and walk too slow Chasing time from hour to hour I pour the drinks and crush the flowers What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this? What have I, what have I, what have I... Since you went away I've been hanging around I've been wondering why I'm feeling down You went away, it should make me feel better but I don't know how I'm gonna get through How I'm gonna get through We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight We don't need to go to hell and back every night We could make a deal What have I done to deserve this? |

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-P-P-I-N-G We're shopping It's easy when you've got all the information Inside help, no investigation No questions in the house no give and take There's a big bang in the city We're all on the make We're S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G We're shopping Our gain is your loss That's the price you pay I heard it in the House of Commons Everything's for sale We're S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G We're shopping |

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 with everything we see I never want anything, it's easy you buy whatever I need But look at my hopes, look at my dreams the currency we've spent I love you, you pay my rent I love you, you pay my rent You phoned me in the evening on hearsay and bought me caviar You took me to a restaurant off Broadway to tell me who you are We never, ever argue, we never calculate the currency we've spent I love you, you pay my rent I love you, you pay my rent I'm your puppet I love it And look at the two of us in sympathy and sometimes ecstasy Words mean so little and money less when you're lying next to me But look at my hopes, look at my dreams the currency we've spent I love you, you pay my rent I love you, you pay my rent It's easy, it's so easy |

Hit music on the radio Hit music on the radio When you dance with me we dance forever all night long to your favourite Hit music on the radio Hit music on the radio When you dance with me we dance forever all night long to the latest song Live a lie, dance together all night long to your favourite Hit music Hit music I've been working hard all day to pay the bills I have to pay Don't have the strength to work all night or fight until it's almost light Music on the radio Dance music at the disco Live a lie, dance together all night long to your favourite song Live and die, it's all that we know I need a friend at the journey's end Hit music in stereo It's all about love and it's about forgetting Choose a song when the night's too long We all need love and we want protection I need a friend at the journey's end In Kensington or Spanish Harlem All night long to your desperate Hit music on the radio Music at the disco Hit music on the radio Hit music on the radio |

It Couldn't Happen Here
|
|
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 So good, this far Now it almost seems impossible We've drunk too much and woke up everyone I may be wrong, I thought we said it couldn't happen here I don't expect to talk in terms of sense our dignity and injured innocence It contradicts your battle scars still healed so far Now it almost seems incredible We've laughed too loud and woke up everyone I may be wrong but I thought we said it couldn't happen here Now it almost seems impossible We've found ourselves back where we started from I may be wrong, I thought we said it couldn't happen here |

It's a Sin
|
|
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 At school they taught me how to be so pure in thought and word and deed They didn't quite succeed 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 Father forgive me I tried not to do it Turned over a new leaf then tore right through it Whatever you taught me I didn't believe it Father you fought me 'cause I didn't care and I still don't understand So I look back upon my life forever 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 I It's a sin Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere et omissione. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. |

I Want to Wake Up
|
|
I heard what you said and I can tell you it's true I heard you've said that I am crazy about you Turn in my sleep, a bad dream is over Think of you and shall I ever recover? Now I want to wake up How I want to wake up I stood at the kitchen sink, my radio played songs like 'Tainted Love' and 'Love Is Strange' As I listened and the words hit my ears I cried sudden tears Now, I want to wake up How I want to wake up It's mad, to be in love with someone else when you're in love with he she's in love with me but you know as well as I do I can never think of anyone but you all my life Play with fire, play with guns It's easy to impress someone Turning in my sleep, you called me a fool To fall in love, is it so uncool? Now I want to wake up How I want to wake up Now I want to wake up I want to wake up with you |

Heart

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 If I didn't love you I would look around for someone else but every time I see you you have the same effect My heart starts missing a beat My heart starts missing a beat every time Oh oh oh, every time Every time I hear your heart beat next to me I'm in love with you I mean what I say I'm in love with you and you don't know what it means to be with you Every time I see you no matter what we do there's a strange reaction Can you feel it too? My heart starts missing a beat My heart starts missing a beat every time Oh oh oh, every time Oh oh oh Every time I hear your heart beat next to me I'm in love with you I mean what I say I'm in love with you and you don't know what it means to be with you Oh oh oh, every time Oh oh oh, every time |

King's Cross

The man at the back of the queue was sent to feel the smack of firm government Lingered by the fly poster 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 Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way Read it in a book or write it in a letter Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee Only last night I found myself lost by the station called King's Cross Dead and wounded on either side You know it's only a matter of time I've been good and I've been bad I've been guilty of hanging around Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way Read it in a book or write it in a letter Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee So I went looking out today for the one who got away Murder walking round the block ending up in King's Cross Good luck, bad luck waiting in a line It takes more than the matter of time Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way Read it in a book or write it in a letter Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee There is still no guarantee |
