Oh you're all looking up With hearts of devotion Through the dust and the heat lost to me In a cloud of emotion I have no motivation To keep up this breathless pace I'm more inclined to stay here In this breathing space And the sun goes down And the moon comes up I never tried to walk the walk 'Cos the steps are elusive The membership is too costly And exclusive Hey, the more I've got The more I stand to lose So I'm gonna unpack my bags And take off my shoes And the sun goes down And the moon comes up Let me tell you there's no point knocking At the big oak door Can't you see that it's all full up They can't take no more The line's so long It's almost Disney Ooh… Wont somebody kiss me And the sun goes down And the moon comes up

I don't have the time of day I don't know what day it is Someone's falling on my head Get up…get up We're going out on the raz Razzle dazzle Call it what you want To me it doesn't matter It's where I belong It's a matter of distinction A real fine line Between an orgy of destruction And a wonderful time This room's so cold and bare There's nothing here for me I've got to find some heat somewhere Get up…get up We're going out on the raz Razzle dazzle Call it what you want It really doesn't matter When I'm bangin' on a gong While someone's holding out To a willing congregation And we can all forget about The state of the nation Can't hear a thing But I see your lips are moving I'm working on my thinking And I think it's improving I'm going to get the blame So I might as well deliver If only I can swim across This weird human river I know I started out With the best of intentions Some blinding inspiration And a few not-to-mentions And now I'm looking deep Into the last dying embers Shouting what are we doing here And nobody remembers I've lost a friend or two I don't know where they have gone Only one thing I can do Get up…get up I'm going out on the raz Razzle dazzle Call it what you want To me it doesn't matter It's where I belong It's a matter of distinction A real fine line Between an orgy of destruction And a wonderful time

Well I'm standing here on a moving station All the world is traveling by To strange outlandish destinations There they go, I wonder why I may be crazy But I'm not stupid I get along I use my silver tongue You know I can dream in any language Flying in my magic bed And I don't need to work my passage All I do is use my head I may be crazy But I'm not stupid Sometimes I ramble Then I'm lucid I might seem lazy But I'm hurting no-one I get along I use my silver tongue I know exactly what you're thinking But you don't know what's in my mind You went too fast and now your sinking Because you forgot to read the signs

If you don't like what you see If you can do better than me Walk on If the road before you winds Obscuring all the signs Walk on You mean more to me Than just a pretty face I wont hold you down You need a little space If you don't like what you see If you can do better than me Walk on You know I don't like to fight No matter who's wrong or right Walk on I don't mean to bring you down If you prefer the other side of town Walk on You've been troubled Sleeping through the night Deal with it in the daytime Then you can turn off the light If you don't like what you see If you can do better than me Walk on Girl I tried You know I tried While I cried, you lied Well heart inside me burns And the world around me turns Walk on It won't be right away We'll meet again someday Walk on When the shine wears off And he's on to something new Try not to think about How good I was to you If you don't like what you see If you can do better than me Walk on

I hear they're trying to make us all the same It's mind control by any other name Who's gonna pay the price For this foolish paradise Oh…Momma don't take that train I hear it said we're headed too far south Chinese whispers go by word of mouth Rules for every size and shape The nag has gone, shut the gate Once you're in you're never getting out I'm so misunderstood There goes my manlihood She's in my face again With that picture of innocence No drinks, No smokes No dicking around No dirty jokes Straight lace, straight face The old straight jacket We got no hope I hear they're gonna try out something new I can feel it sticking to my shoe So this is what tomorrow holds Hopes and dreams are bought and sold But still the world is misty green and blue I'm so misunderstood There goes my mannish boyhood She's in my face again With that picture of innocence No deals, No strokes No forbidden fruit No holy smoke What next, no sex That's the end of the road That's the end of the road We got no hope No drinks, No smokes No dicking around No dirty jokes Straight lace, straight face The old straight jacket We got no hope No deals, No strokes No forbidden fruit No holy smoke What next, no sex That's the end of the road We got no hope

So many signs So many ways It's a living thing No need to rush The buzz will last for days When you discover I'm just a man Take it girl Or leave it Don't be reading out the label on the can I got your number I got your number I got your number I'll be your lover I'll be your friend I'll be your friend And your brother in love But that's where the story ends If you say jump I'll do it with affection But don't get pissed If I don't move Too fast in your direction I got your number I got your number I got your number It's that same old nonsense That same old look But now I'm turning back And I can read you like a book It all means nothing Nothing at all It's the same old business Man it drives me up the wall You made that potion too strong I feel I'm going soft I've been that way far too long You see, now it's wearing off So many times So many days It's a spiritual thing That loving touch I thought you'd be amazed I like the distance I like the space The money's good The rent is cheap And I can read suspicion on your face I got your number I got your number I got your number

Never a word, a word so true Passed between us, me and you Heard you found your pot of gold That's the story I've been told Never a word was said in vain Some were never said again Some were lost in lovers' heat Some lay fallen at our feet All day all night You and only you All day all night I think of you and only you Never a word escaped my lips Silenced by your fingertips I kept my word, can you believe All this time so hard to breathe Hard to breathe

I've got nothing to say today I used my words up yesterday I'm just lying here in the sun Watching you guys having fun Seven days and seven nights Working till you get it right Don't help me I'll help myself I'll pull some crackers off the shelf She had her hair done yesterday Now she's coming out to play First you pull and then you push Two in the hand and one in the bush Oh, my love is So excited When I say we've Been invited Now we're going To the palace Dressing up for Tea with Alice Some will rise and some will fall Some will come to nothing at all The strangest people have the power To lead me to my darkest hour How can you be sure it's me When it's payment on delivery Oh, my love is So excited When I say we've Been invited Now we're going To the palace Dressing up for Tea with Alice Now my love is Richer than rich 'Cause I studied Mathematics Graduated Without honours Everyone has Gone Bananas

I don't have a problem I'm not seeking her advice I'm saving that for later Yeh, it's something awful nice I had a shaky feeling When she floated into sight I imagine we'll be doing it tonight I'm ragged round the edges All these people in the room There's magic in the air I'm guessing she can feel it too Prospective recreation Helps me keep her in my sight I imagine we'll be doing it tonight That's why everybody's sitting around We can't think of nothing better to do There's no empty bottle They're all half full So we end up spinning a shoe We keep on going 'til poor old Lenny's Got drool hanging off of his chin He can't stop winning When the shoe stops spinning But he doesn't know where to begin She wasn't in the running She was never in the game I could see her in the distance But I could not lay my claim Let me tell you 'bout this cherry I never got a single bite Therefore I imagine we'll be doing it tonight
