Work....
Now
Work....
Now

Call me in the morning just before the breakfast show
We'll watch TV and analyze the weather
Before we go to work, we'll have planned the day ahead
We'll while away the working day together
(While away the working day together)
Work all day or work all night, it's all the same
(Work the same)
If you want to play
Some are nurses, some steal purses
Some are workers, some are not
(It is time for a party)
Liberation for the nation now (now)

Work....
Now

Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crush by the wheels (whoa, whoa)
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Work, now

There's a party going on that's going
To change the way we live
But how do we know we've even been invited
Now the invitation's waiting, and the table is reserved
So just play it cool and don't get excited
Work all day or work all night, it's all the same
(Work the same)
Will we ever change
It's vocation or vacation
Some are workers, some are not
It is time for a party
Syncopation for the nation now

Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crush by the wheels (whoa, whoa)
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Work, now

Work....
Now

Breaking in the future just before the week is up
They can do it, but it's going to take some money
Have what you desire if and when you see the fact
They will lead us to the land of milk and honey
Work all day or work all night, it's all the same
If you want the pay
(But do you really want the pain)
Some drive tankers, some are bankers
Some are workers, some are not
It is time for a party
Liberation for the nation now

Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crush by the wheels (whoa, whoa)
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Crushed by the wheels of industry
Work, now

Work....
Now

(Repeat)

Who'll stop the rain
Who'll stop the action
East side west side
The world moves on

I heard a rumour that fires were started
Flame in the streets and tension uncharted
Bigger than life at the edge of the city
Ashes and diamonds gleaming with pity

Who'll stop the rain
Who'll stop the action
East side west side
The world moves on

Between midnight and dawn you slept through the deadlines
Believe in me and we'll hit the tall headlines
Look up and laugh be happy today
Here come the waves count three pray

Who'll stop the rain
Who'll stop the action
East side west side
The world moves on

A global affair in big house U.S.A.
A moving violation angels over Broadway
The next voice you hear will be the main attraction
The next time we love standby for action
Meet me tonight and love me for ever
Let's be happy let's be famous whatever the weather
The rain must fall and night time is calling
Golden boy and golden girl it's a great day in the morning

Who'll stop the rain
Who'll stop the action
East side west side
The world moves on

Once there was a day
We were together all the way
An endless path unbroken
But now there is a time
A torture less sublime
Our souls are locked and frozen

Once we were years ahead, but now those thoughts are dead
Let me go (Let me go)
All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me
Let me go
I walk alone, and yet never say goodbye
Let me go (Let me go)
Change of heart, a change of mind, and heaven fell that night
Let me go

I tried but could not bring
The best of everything
Too breathless then to wonder
I died a thousand times
Found guilty of no crime
Now everything is thunder

Daytime, all I want is
Nighttime, I don't need the
Daytime, all I want is
Nighttime, I don't need the
Daytime, all I want is
Nighttime, I don't need the
Daytime, all I want is
Nighttime, I don't need the
Got to, got to, got to, got to let me go

Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ooh

Once we were years ahead, but now those thoughts are dead
Let me go (Let me go)
All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me
Let me go
I walk alone, and yet never say goodbye
Let me go (Let me go)
Change of heart, a change of mind, and heaven fell that night
Let me go

The best years of our lives
The hope of it survives
The facts of life unspoken
The only game in town
I'll turn the last card down
And now the bank is broken
Broken

Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Ooh

I'm working every hour but I'm heading for a crash
I'm sick of living fast and running short of cash
Tell me what's so bad about wanting to feel so good
I want a better life and I'd like to buy one if I could

I've got my key
I've got my key to the world
Liquidity don't bother me
I've got my key to the world

They'll send me all their money and all I have to do is sign
Living in a big way a winner all the time
In just five golden hours I'd bought myself a car
I sold my soul for charge plate gold we know who you are

My key to the world

It's all too easy
Buying items on your wish list it's easier than you think
But trying to fill the luxury gap has pushed me to the brink
To friends I am a legend the man who had them beat
But to the credit agencies I'm Mr. Obsolete ---- delete!

My key to the world

I've never been closer
I've tried to understand
That certain feeling
Carved by another's hand
But it's too late to hesitate
We can't keep on living like this
Leave no track
Don't look back

All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures
Temptation
With unacceptable features
Temptation
Trouble is coming
Temptation
It's just the high cost of loving
Temptation
You can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you'd better believe it

You've got to make me an offer
That cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now
Everything I have is yours
Step by step and day by day
Every second counts I can't break away
Leave no trace
Hide your face

All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
You can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you'd better believe it

Step by step
Day by day
Every second counts
I can't break away

Keep us from temptation (x3)
Lead us not in temptation


All I desire
Temptation
Keep climbing higher and higher
Temptation
Adorable creatures
Temptation
With unacceptable features
Temptation
Trouble is coming
Temptation
It's just the high cost of loving
Temptation
You can take it or leave it
Temptation
But you'd better believe it

You've got to make me an offer
That cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now
Everything I have is yours
Step by step and day by day
Every second counts I can't break away
Leave no trace
Hide your face


Trying to find it
Temptation
You've got to get up behind it
Put your dime in the hot slot
Temptation
But it's a million to one shot
Temptation
you think that you're right
Temptation
Your gonna face it tonite now
Temptation
Give me a breakdown
Because it's time for a shakedown
temptation (x10)
then repeat last verse
eg.
Trying to find it
get up behind it
dime in the hot slot
million to one shot
think that you're right
Your gonna face it tonite now
Give me a breakdown
it's time for a shakedown

I was thirty-seven
You were seventeen
You were half my age
The youth I'd never seen
Unlikely people meeting in a dream
Heaven only knows the way it should have been

Here today my tomorrow
Where you lead I will follow
All that kissing
No passion missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me

Dinner parties followed
And all my age implies
My friends began to talk
I began to realise
If half the things they say
Are quarter true of me
Then how can I eclipse the youth
You gave to set me free

There was something in your smile
That was hard to reconcile
The time had come to testify to reason
Though years will not erase
Remembrance of those days
At least there's no submission to hearts treason

Here today my tomorrow
No more shame only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me

Now there's nothing left to cry for
And there's nowhere left to go
Just another hopeless fight
But how were we to know
The strong are sometimes wrong
But the weak are never free
The choice we made we can't evade
Don't try to follow me

Here today my tomorrow
No more pain only sorrow
All that kissing
There's something missing
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye
Come live with me
Kiss the boys goodbye

Stop!
Does he know the way out of here
Or will she again interfere
It's happening all over again

Lady Ice and Mr. Hex
She'll leave you could he'll make you flex
They disappear without a trace
Accelerate and take your place
The creep's arrived he's in your home
Like all the dreams you've never known
He's standing by to steal your luck
He's spotted you you're panic struck

Stop!

Stop!

They're standing either side of you
They guide you but they block your view
Lady Ice with medium cool
Will set you up she's watching you
She'll trip you out and trap you in
Strain every nerve to make you spin
He'll pick you up and make you strong
Thrust up, boost on, the man is gone

Stop!

Does he know the way out of here
Or will she again interfere
It's happening all over again

Look!

They made me a promise today
They know that I can't go away
It's happening all over again

Please don't ask me to stay
I'm leaving this town
Don't worry now
Believe me as I believe that
Luck is on my side
The future is mine
If I can find
A way through these strange days of my life

We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We can't stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way it's time to make it happen

The streets deserted and cold
They're not paved with gold
But I don't care
For those who think young will still survive
Making their move
Hoping to prove
That they can face
This big city, small world, big time

We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We can't stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way it's time to make it happen

But now I know their ways
I found my place
Saw their true face
There's nothing to stay for so I'll go
I'll pick up the phone
Still searching for home
We life so fast
Alone but not lonely I move on

We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We can't stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way it's time to make it happen

The view outside
The best kept secret
No one can reach it
No one believes
It's in the air
A chance to run now
So here I come now
It's time to leave
Who can remember just who is the leader
A soft spoken showman, accepted, encouraged
While under the cities the shuffle of money is speaking
The power of choice is the power of reason
The power of voice is the key to the world
So now just count the times that the chill in their words
Leaves you freezing

Tell me you're safe
That I'm not dreaming
No night thoughts screaming
No face in the rain
For the first time
The view is clearing
No longer fearing
The shadow of pain

A certain smile conceals the highest card
Beyond this place the rains are falling hard

Someone somewhere
The voice you never hear
Salvation ringing clear
Always ahead
Please help me now
To see the blazing light
The stars return tonight
Burning so red

Who can remember just who is the leader
A soft spoken showman, accepted, encouraged
While under the cities the shuffle of money is speaking
The power of choice is the power of reason
The power of voice is the key to the world
So now just count the times that the chill in their words
Leaves you freezing

A certain smile conceals the highest card
Beyond this place the rains are falling hard
Falling hard
Falling hard
