You're back, sitting on my doorstep
Ah yeah, like nothing happened
Telling me that you're free and oh
Can you see me again?
Yeah right, you've been kicked out
Do you think I'm that stupid?
You say you're free but didn't he just oh oh oh
Get tired of you kid
I could not eat for days, I cried so much my face
Has never been the same
And now, now, you're back here with your lies
I hope you realize...
Well I walked out, 'cause I had some plans
Yeah, I walked out, destiny in my own hands
I thought I'd get by without you
Thought I'd survive without you, but I
I got drunk, I did not know why, oh I
I got drunk, I was dying inside, 'cause I
Can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
I can't get along without you
No something is wrong
I can't get along without you, so I

Go to a cash machine
To get a ticket home
A message on the screen
Says, ?Don't make plans, you're broke?
No, no, this can't be right
I know that time is tight
I've only just been paid
Three weeks five days
'Til I'm seen, right, no
I scratch a living, it ain't easy
You know it's a drag
I'm always paying, never make it
But you can't look back
I wonder if I'll ever get
To where I want to be
Bette...
It started off all right, we'd go out Friday night
And have a drink and do whatever made us feel alright
We'd stay out all weekend, try takin' everythin'
Could never hurt no one and so what
You only live once I thought, 'til I got caught
As if that weren't enough for you, you'd go out Monday too
And Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 'til it all caught up with you
You're everyone's best friend, lon...
Hung around here long enough
I've seen the smooth but only caught the rough
I've got no reason, ooh no, I got no reason
Disco on the radio, I ain't got no place to go
I've got no reason, ooh no, I got no reason
But see the new girl in town
Maybe I can show you round though
Baby, let's generate some heat
Gotta reason, ooh now, I've gotta reason
Hey, hey, baby, you knock me out
You make me want ...
I've seen you darling, seen you hanging round town
You in a short skirt, shining eyes of deep brown
You had a dirty look, you caught me on your hook
Turn up the thermostat, I want to see you sweat
Oh yeah, girl, you've got something I like
I walked right over, said, "Hi, how ya doin'?"
You smiled at me and girl, you tore right through me
I said, come on let's dance, we've got to take our chanc...
There's no light in the hall
There's no sound here at all
Emptiness, emptiness rules
Why'd I wanna come home?
You ain't sat in your chair
No one calls, no ones there
Just a clock, tick, tock
Tears so many tears
Help me please, I'm in need
'Cause being alone scares the life out of me
Help me please, I'm in need
'Cause being alone scares the life out of me
Being alone scares the life out of me

Fall out of bed, I put my head in the sink
Cold water on my face, brings me back to the brink
I've got to get to work, you know I'm always late
The boss is on my back, the boss is in my face
I close my eyes, I'm in your arms
I close my eyes, I'm in your arms, I'm in your arms
The phone keeps ringing, my ears keep ringing
And all theses people keeps singing
I work hard everyday, working for a m...
New day dawning, I wonder what it holds for me
Sun is shining, don't think that it shine for me
I look around, nothing seems to have changed
This dirty town, it hasn't somehow rearranged
And I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down
"Just give it up", they say, "We just don't want you around
Not one of us and we don't like to share"
Mouthful of dust, but I'll get even I swear
I hear you...
In this town, I used to be the king here
Now I don't mean a thing here, where did it all go wrong?
I look around and no one knows my face here
I feel so out of place here, where did all go wrong?
I say your name, and I wonder where you are now
I hope you're doing fine now, well I hope that you found love
I hope that you found love
I hope that you found love
I've been thinking of you, every wak...
When I'm lonely, deep in the city at night
Nobody near me except that red neon light
I get down on my knees and I pray
There you are darling, bring salvation today
A shining light, you taste just right
I'm hungry, you feed me, keep watching over me
'Cause darling you're my, my little angel
Yes darling you're my, my little angel
Come to a river, yeah, it's a hundred miles wide
I can't see how I...
Oh, I've been working a week, I'm tired
Yeah, I've been working a week and I'm
Just living for the weekend
Hey hey, got some money I just got paid
Got some money and I can't wait
At six o'clock I'm out of here
Out there tonight is the night of my last
Got my name on
Run down my street Adidas on my feet
I'm on fire
Working all the time
Work is such a bind
Got some money to spend
Living for the ...
I've got to go but what a prize to give
Package deal to the sun, everything is inclusive
Where bullet holes scar the minarets
Smoke on the horizon a beautiful sunset
I'm going on my Middle Eastern holiday
Give me a gun, I hope I see my mum again
I'm going on my Middle Eastern holiday
Been gone so long, I hope I'm coming home some day
We can fight, we can fight
I'm twenty one, meanwhile back at...
Baby, baby, I think it's time we move on now
Baby, baby, I think it's time we move on now
Lookin' out my bedroom window
See the planes take off from Heathrow
One by one, they come and go
On and on, on and on
I think about the places I'd go
Think about this place I call home
All the shots and all that come
All around, all around
Red light blinkin' in the twilight
Tracin' at a path right out of ...
Back in 1940
My Grandfather died
Fightin' in a spitfire
Over at Kent countryside
Since then my country
never really got back off its knees
Uncle Joe put paid to
that and I was born late seventies
I heard that over in England
men were gettin' paid
More than I earn in a week
working just one day
I thought, ???What the Hell?
I'll go give it my best shot.???
Yeah, it's gotta be better than nothin'...
And every move that I make
Gets recorded to tape
So somebody up there
Can keep me safe
I'm going out tonight
I've got my hair just right
I'm always looking good
In the spotlight
Stick 'em up, give me the money
A winning smile, up to the gallery
I'm gonna get my face
On the 6 o'clock news
We're the stars of CCTV
Making movies out on the street
We're the stars of CCTV
Can't you see the camera lo...
Tonight we've waited far too long
For some good times to come along
And though it's no-one's fault but ours
It hasn't helped that they've been dragging us down too
This stinking hole has had its day
Gonna fly out and have it raised to the ground
And in its place a brand new world
just for us West London screams
Can't you see the problem?
They can't see further than tomorrow
I'm getting stronge...
Suburban days, they last so long
In shop and office, we sing our song we all sing
We ain't got nothing, nothing to do
A big fat nothing, nothing for me, nothing for you
Suburban dreams, just out of reach
Work till you die, that's what they teach you at school
With that in mind, what's there to lose?
My friends and I, doped up on TV fags and booze
Hear them all singing
We're the ones that you'v...
Life means nothing
When no one knows your name
I've never had too much
But I'd give it all for fame, baby, baby
She's there on the TV, so beautiful on screen
Selling me a life
I've never known and never seen, baby, baby
If I only had you, if I only had
Television, new religion, let everyone sing Hallelujah
Politicians, don't wanna listen
They only wanna make money out of you
Hallelujah, Hallel...
Oh, where I come from
I just don't confirm
Get me out of here
Leave the boredom behind
Wanna see those bright lights
Get this thing in gear, yeah
So we'll ride in my car
Follow the star
Drive on into town
With the stereo loud
Take the Great West Road out
Might think I went there down, down
You get your boots on
You get your boots on
And all boys and girls sing
Na na na na
Straight out of West ...
Tonight, tonight I'm gonna take what's mine
Tonight, tonight under that bright neon light
And if I ever find a way right out of here
Tonight, tonight I'm gonna disappear
Tonight, tonight oh, sweetheart you and I
Tonight, tonight we've got to feel alive
'Cause if we ever find a way right out of here
Tonight, tonight we've gotta disappear
But it ain't easy, no, it ain't easy
Darling, darling, pl...
You take it easy, you have your reasons
Sometimes it eats you inside, it feels like treason
You give it right back then they just can't take it
You mind your business, whats yours, they have to wreck it
The hypocrites don't
Don't like the bed they lay in
Come out fighting
You know, you're always gonna win
There's just no point in cause unnecessary trouble
Just make sure you cause trouble when ...
You dumb ass fool, you lost it all
You had your chance but moved too slow
Now look around this lonely town
Where every smiling face just brings you down
Just brings you down
You let it slip, so get a grip
There's no one else to blame for this
Now walk around this lonely town
Where every smiling face just brings you down
Just brings you down
Stick around and watch me fall apart
Watch me lose th...
In Birmingham, in London, what we need now is love
Not hate and fear, blood and tears, what we need now is love
Walking down my street tonight, West London style
There's something in the air tonight, I haven't felt for a while
I see the fear, I see the fear in your eyes
When they keep you afraid you believe all their lies
In the county towns, in football grounds, what we need now is love
Not s...
I have my problems, I have my share
I can't see anyway out, I think I'm stuck here
But then I see you, I wanna touch you
I can't explain it away, I really want you
Do you think that we'd make it?
Without you in my life, I'd hate it
Sit about and debate it
I'm sick of hanging around, oh yeah
Girl, you and me, girl, you and me
We've got to go, we've got to leave
Get on a plane, head for the sun
