Morning, this morning the curtains are shut
I'll ring you in the morning but the phone's been cut
Can you hear me? I've been calling all day
Ooh, can you hear me? Ooh, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Ooh, can you hear me?
Ooh, can you hear me?
The radio reporter said the line's all dead
He told me that I oughta write a letter instead
Can you hear me? I've been calling all day
Ooh, can you he...
To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your headache to the shape of the 1980's
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of playing in your fashion war
To the lights to the trend setting in your head
Sunday night tears from the youth cults already dead
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of fighting in your fashion war
Goodbye seventies
Goodbye seventies
To ...
I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
And in the room locked up inside me
The cutout magazines remind me
I sit and wait alone in my room
And in my room against the wall
There is a picture very small
A photograph I took some years ago
It shows a picture of the room I know
I sit and wait alone in my room
The walls are white and in the night
The room is lit by electric ligh...
Midnight it's raining outside, yeah
He must be soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight
God knows I tried my best
But darling you know it looks bad
Just lost the best thing that I ever had
Well, still I don't know why I did him wrong, yeah
It's too late now he's gone to say
Said baby oh no, can't leave me now
Said to think about it please
'Cause I love you and I need you
And I should have though...
Looking from a window above, it's like a story of love
Can you hear me?
Came back only yesterday, I'm moving farther away
Want you near me
All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you
Sometimes when I think of her name when it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say it's getting harder to stay
When I see you
All I needed was...
Blue eyed dressed for every situation
Moving through the doorway of a nation
Pick me up and shake the doubt
Baby I can?t do without
Don?t mess around
You bring me down
How you get about
Don?t make a sound just move out
I remember only for an hour
Move right through me, can you feel the power
I don?t know what?s going on
It scares me but it won?t take long
Don?t mess around
You bring me down
Ho...
Write me a letter a face in the hall
Hiding from someone afraid of the fall
And she's waiting for someone to take her back to where she came from
And she'll wait alone for hours she won't mind because there's someone
In the story she remembers she remembers in the letter
And the tears locked up inside her make her heart break open wider
Shuts her eyes and takes the picture from the wall
