Two Divided by Zero
|
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
he'll deliver the letter
I've explained everything
It's better that way
(Divided by, divided by)
I think they heard a rumour
(Divided by, divided by)
or someone tipped them off
(Divided by, divided by)
It's better to go sooner
(Divided by, divided by)
than call it all off
We'll catch a plane to New York
and a cab going down
cross the bridges and tunnels
straight into town
Tomorrow morning
we'll be miles away
on another continent
and another day
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's not go home
(Divided by, divided by)
or call it a day
(Divided by, divided by)
You won't be alone
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's run away
(Two divided by zero, zero)
(Two divided by zero, zero, zero)
(Zero)
(Divided by, divided by)
Someone spread a rumour
(Divided by, divided by zero, zero)
(Divided by, divided by)
Better to go sooner
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's run away
So why hang around
for the deed to be done?
You can give it all up
for a place in the sun
When the postman calls
we'll be miles away
on a plane to New York
and another day
(Divided by, divided by)
I think they heard a rumour
(Divided by, divided by)
or someone tipped them off
(Divided by, divided by)
Better to go sooner
(Divided by, divided by)
than call it all off
(Divided by, divided by)
Someone spread a rumour
(Divided by, divided by)
and someone has to pay
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's not go home
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's run away
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's not go home
(Divided by, divided by)
Let's run away |

West End Girls
|
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a 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
Running down underground
to a dive bar in a West End town
In a West End town, a dead end world
the East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
the East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
Too many shadows, whispering voices
faces on posters, too many choices
If? When? Why? What?
How much have you got?
Have you got it? Do you get it?
If so, how often?
Which do you choose
a hard or soft option?
(How much do you need?)
In a West End town, a dead end world
the East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
the East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
West End girls
(How much do you need?)
In a West End town, a dead end world
the East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls
You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone?
Just you wait 'til I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
from Lake Geneva to the Finland station
(How far have you been?)
And a West End town, a dead end world
the East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End Boys, West End girls
West End girls |

Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)
|
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...
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
Ask yourself this question
Do you want to be rich?
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
You can tell I'm educated
I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics
I could have been a don
I can program a computer
choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination
I have got the crime
Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
if you know when to take them
You know there's a lot of opportunities
if there aren't, you can make them
(Make or break them)
I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of...
money
You can see I'm single-minded
I know what I could be
How'd you feel about it?
Come and take a walk with me
I'm looking for a partner
regardless of expense
Think about it seriously
You know it makes sense
Let's (Got the brains)
make (Got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
(Let's) You've got the brawn
(make) I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
I've got the brains (Got the brains)
You've got the looks (Got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
Money
All the love that we had
and the love that we hide
Who will bury us
when we die? |

Love Comes Quickly
|
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
Say this is all you want
but I don't believe that it's true
'cause when you least expect it
waiting round the corner for you
Love comes quickly
whatever you do
you can't stop falling
Love comes quickly
whatever you do
you can't stop falling
You can live a life of luxury
if that's what you want
Taste forbidden pleasures
whatever you want
You can fly away to the end of the world
but where does it get you to?
'cause just when you least expect it
just what you least expect
Love comes quickly
whatever you do
you can't stop falling
Love comes quickly
whatever you do
you can't stop falling
I know it sounds ridiculous
but speaking from experience
It may seem romantic
and that's no defence
love will always get to you
Sooner or later, sooner or later
this happens to everyone
to everyone
You can fly away to the end of the world
but where does it get you?
Love comes quickly
whatever you do
you can't stop falling
Love comes quickly
whatever you do
you can't stop falling |

Suburbia
|
Suburbia
where the suburbs met utopia
where the suburbs met utopia
Lost in the high street, where the dogs run
roaming suburban boys
Mother's got her 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
Let's take a ride
and run with the dogs tonight
in suburbia
You can't hide
Run with the dogs tonight
in suburbia
Break the window by the town hall
Listen! A siren screams
there in the distance like a roll call
of all the suburban dreams
Let's take a ride
and run with the dogs tonight
in suburbia
You can't hide
run with the dogs tonight
in suburbia
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
It's on the front page of the papers
This is their hour of need
Where's a policeman when you need one
to blame the colour TV?
Let's take a ride
and run with the dogs tonight
in suburbia
You can't hide
run with the dogs tonight
in suburbia
Suburbia
where the suburbs met utopia
What kind of dream was this
so easy to destroy?
And who are we to blame
for the sins of the past?
These slums of the future?
suburbia
where the suburbs met utopia
suburbia
where the suburbs met utopia |

Tonight Is Forever
|
I may be wrong, I may be right
Money's short and time is tight
Don't even think about those bills
Don't pay the price, we never will
We're out again, another night
I never have enough
It will be like this forever
if we fall in love
Tonight is forever
Tell me now you don't disagree
Tonight is forever
Open the door, you hold the key
I may be wrong, I may be right
so don't depend, I could lie
I haven't got a job to pay
but I could stay in bed all day
Then out again another night
I never have enough
It will be like this forever
if we fall in love
Tonight is forever
Tell me now you don't disagree
Tonight is forever
Open the door, you hold the key
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
tonight is the first night
We don't need any more when we dance
I don't think of the future tonight
Tonight is forever
Tell me now you don't disagree
Tonight is forever
Open the door, you hold the key
I may be wrong, I may be right
but I don't give up any night
You could say conventional
and I could claim intentional
We're out again another night
We never have enough
It will be like this forever
when we fall in love
Tonight is forever
Tell me now you don't disagree
Tonight is forever
Open the door, you hold the key
tonight |

Violence
|
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-defence
And all the others
running 'round so hot and bothered
anything to give their lives some meaning
in the evening
running around with guns and
said they would act in self-defence
with violence
Violence
Violence
Violence breeds violence
Violence breeds
The son and brother
when he gets home
he gives someone some love
and mutters
'Woman, you'll never understand
I did what I said in self-defence
with violence'
Violence breeds violence
Violence breeds violence
Violence breeds violence |

I Want a Lover
|
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
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight
Outside the dawn is breaking, looks like it's started raining
We'll catch a cab and soon be driving home
No need to look so shy, don't even wonder why
You'll know the reason just as soon as we get home
You've been sitting there wondering what to do
I've been standing here waiting to make the first move
I don't want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
I don't want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight
This anticipation is a stimulation
No need for conversation as we're driving home
Put your arms around me, it doesn't mean you love me
just that you want me and you need my company
Driving through the night, it's so exciting
Turning off the light without another thought tonight
I don't want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight (I want a lover tonight)
I don't want another drink or fight
I want a lover
I don't care whether it's wrong or right
I want a lover tonight
Tonight
(I want you, I want your love)
I want a lover
(I want you, I want your love)
I want a lover
(I want you, I want your love)
I want a lover
(I want your love tonight) |

Later Tonight
|
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
He is the head boy of a school of thought
that plays in your intentions, night and day
And you wait 'til later
'til later tonight
You wait 'til later, 'til later
'til later tonight
'cause tonight always comes |

Why Don't We Live Together
|
There comes a time in everyone's life
when all of the parties every night
they're not enough
You want something more
I want you
I want you
I find you when I want you
and lose you late at night
The woman in me shouts out
the man in me just smiles
I may not always love you
you may not care
but if we should live together
there's something we could share
if we dare
Why don't we?
Baby, why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
Baby, why don't we live together?
With all the love we had and all the love we hide
We'll find a home together
and sleep there every night
There's a time and place for most things
This time we'll get it right
You may not always love me
I may not care
but intuition tells me, baby
there's something we could share
if we dare
Why don't we?
Baby, why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
Baby, why don't we live together?
With all the love we had and all the love we hide
Why don't we live together? Together?
Why don't we live together? Together?
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
You may not always love me
I may not care
but intuition tells me, baby
there's something we could share
if we dare
Why don't we?
Baby, why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
Baby, why don't we live together?
With all the love we had and all the love we hide
Why don't we live together?
Together? Together?
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
Baby
You won't believe until the day you try
Baby, why don't we live together?
Why don't we live together?
Baby, why don't we live together?
You won't believe in love until the day you try
Baby
Without the love, love you feel inside |
