So bad when you went away
Nothing I could do or say
And now we are a lonely two
Sit at home and watch the tube
I've been hurt before,
Sorrow knocking on my door
Pain
And so I make a brand-new-life
Fashioned out of brand-new strife
And when I hear the doorbell ring
I can never let them in to me
Pain is in me every day
When you went it came to stay
Come and be a cure for me
Make the tears come o...
Yesterday we were always laughing
Always good for a laugh in passing
Stepping outside of the rules for asking
Misery passes and so does crying
Just look around
When you feel like dying
Stepping outside of the rules
When trying
Hopeless cases will drag you under
Fiery lovers will make you blunder
Tearing all the rules asunder
Trying to cakewalk but it's too boring
Coming to life at four in the ...
Eaten out of house and home,
Choci loni starts a roam
Putting on a bandolier,
Hearing through a nudie ear
Choci loni roams
If you think the world is
a machine with one cog
And that cog is you,
or the things that you do
Then you are not in this world
The world is not you
If you think the world
is a balloon in your head
When it goes bang only
you will be dead
'Cos you are not in this world
The world is not you
If you think the world lies
at the top of your legs
And you only live when you are in bed
Then you are not ...
And when I see you
constantly changing
Never the same as, never remaining
I cannot fix you in a position
Where I would lose you out of my vision
For you are movement
And that is nothing
Go for credit in the straight world
Look a dealer in the eye
Go for credit in the real world
Won't you try?
I got some credit in the straight world
I lost a leg, I lost an eye
Go for credit in the real world
You won't die
Instant credit in the straight world
Leaving money when you die
Lots of credit in the real world
Gets you high
Staring at the mirror on
the steamy bathroom wall
eating a Noddemix
As the people are running
the highrise starts to fall
While she neatly wipes her lips
The reporters pick up
their pads and pens
As they rush to the scene
And the cameras wink on the gory views
How the Editors agree
Putting on her makeup
she glances at the clock
Next she'll paint her nails
The train has collided
the driver didn...
When the rich die last
Like the rabbits
Running from a lucky past
Full of shadow cunning
And the world lights up
For the final day
We will all be poor
Having had our say
Put a blanket up on the window pane
When the baby cries lullaby again
As the light goes out on the final day
For the people who never had a say
There is so much noise
There is too much heat
And the living floor
Throws you off ...
Re-arranging the atoms in my hairdo
Gets me thinking 'bout
good times I had with you
Back in the Sixties when love was free
Never need to worry bout my G.C.E.
Dying of boredom in your plastic home
Pretty the pictures, work to the bone
Don't be depressed,
you can just pick up the phone
But it won't answer 'cos
there's no-one home
Count your possessions out one by one
Include your lovers, includ...
I don't need you to love me
I don't need you to care
Take your body from by me
Be yourself over there
Though you think you adore me
Secretly you just bore me
When I'm thinking of something
You always come up nothing
Now I'm not a neurotic
Or my business spasmodic
And my only excuse is:
Everything comes from chaos
Keep your music for evenings
And your coffee for callers
Say goodbye to your free...
It's nice to hear you're
having a good time
But it still hurts 'cos you used to be mine
This doesn't mean that I possessed you
You're haunting me because I let you
Shape up your body "Let's be a tree"
Visual dynamics for you to see
Nature intended the abstract
for you and me
No rain outside but tears in my eyes
Out on the rooftop for a surprise
Call you at teatime
In off the street
Sit down at...
Voices over cast doubt in my mind
See what I'm hearing,
Don't leave me behind
I don't doubt that you will be mine
Life is so much better
When you're toeing the line
Stay away from people you know
They're out to get you
Here we go
Be polite
Tonight
Just for one time
Be polite
Tonight
You know a smile when you see one
Just for once
Tonight
You say it's better if we don't write
Radio silents
Tonight
Be polite
Think of salad days
They were folly and fun
They were good, they were young
Searching for Mr Right
Waiting up half the night
Feeling like I'll be dead
Before I'm old
Teaching myself to be
The Young Untold
How can I hope to be
Someone for you to see?
Blind as the Fate decrees
I will go on
Teaching myself to be
The Young Untold
Am I in vain tonight?
Lose you against the light
Who can you be
Mr Right?
The man amplifier
Has everything but desire
Is a robot when he should
Never tires, ever good
And we're singing
Parallel sympathy with you
Skin to metal overture
Take a walk, he's always near
Like a shadow, never fear
While we're singing
Like a tower in the dark
He can leave you feeling stark
While his fingers fall away
Love is climbing in his heart
So we're singing
Take a towel to his brow
Soo...
Parrish is dancing, his feet are a bIur
Comes to a standstill,
I ask him a question
He doesn't hear
Wurlitzer jukebox
Fingers are pointed in my direction
Words fly around me,
everyone's chanting
