I don't speak the language
I can't understand the words
Where angels fear to tread
I sometimes walked and tried to talk
But how can I be heard
In such a world
When I am lost
I'm doing what I do
To see me through
I'm going out and carrying on as normal

Cuanto tiempo tengo que esperar?

I don't speak in anger
Though the chances that I've let
Pass me by and now regret
I can't forget
They're haunting me
Like a score of unpaid debts
Is it enough
To live in hope
That one day we'll be free
Without this fear
I'm going out and carrying on as normal

I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual

The call this a community
I like to think of it as home
Arriving at the airport
I am going it alone
Ordering a boarding pass
Travelling in business class
This is the name of the game

I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual

I come to the community from U.K.P.L.C.
Arriving at my hotel there are faxes greeting me
Staying in a junior suite
So there's room to meet and greet
And after work explain how I feel
"Perdoneme, me llamo Neil"

I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual

In Brussels, Bonn and Barcelona
I'm in demand
Quite at home there
Adelante through the door
"Un momento por favor"
This is what I get paid for
("Muchas Gracias, señor")

I'm a player in the continental game
With unlimited expenses to reclaim
Information's easy
Tapping at my PC
That is frame of the game

I'm single, bilingual
Single, bilingual
I'm single, bilingual

(Metamorphosis, metamorphosis, metamorphosis, metamorphosis...)

I wanna know, yeah.
I wanna know.

Please allow me to try and explain,
I'm living proof that man can change.
I knew what I wanted, I knew how to get it,
It didn't make me happy so I started again.
What I wanted to be was a family man,
But nature had some alternative plans.
So I did without the lot, put emotion on hold,
And hoped my instincts would do what they were told.

I wanna know yeah
I wanna know

But every now and then, often at night,
A particular feeling would surface in spite
Of what I told myself and tried to deny.
I kept on asking the question: why?

Why? Why? Why?
I wanna know
You grow up and experience this:
A total metamorphosis.

It's all about change.
It's a metamorphosis.

With time and age I had to change,
'Cause my behaviour was getting strange.
People on the street caught my eye,
And I began to think I might be their kind of guy.
The long-term suppression of an adolescent urge
Was in retreat, and I was on the verge
Of falling in love or having fun.
Time was running out. Something had to be done.

I wanna know, yeah.
I wanna know.
I wanna know, yeah.
Tell me what's the reason.

Where was I? Laying down the law,
Dancing with the others out on the floor.
Music and smoke, what did it mean?
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
I had what I wanted, madly in love,
Nothing else mattered, this was enough.
Questions were answered which used to perplex,
In particular those about the big s.e.x.

I wanna know, yeah (sex!)
I wanna know, (sex!)
I wanna know, yeah.
Tell me what's the reason (sex!)
Tell me what's the reason.

You grow up and experience this:
A total metamorphosis.
It's all about love.
It's a metamorphosis.

Dreaming is easy, life is tough - I got the picture.
The most important thing is not to end up bitter.
'Cause when you start to feel increasingly forlorner,
Woomph! Love comes right around the corner.
It may not last, but here am I!
Once a caterpillar, now a butterfly.
It can seem strange, but when you reminisce,
It's all about change, it's a metamorphosis.

I-I-I wanna know, yeah.
I wanna know.
It's all about love.
It's a metamorphosis.

You grow up and experience this:
A total metamorphosis.
It's all about change.
It's a metamorphosis.

I-I-I wanna know, yeah.
I wanna know.
I wanna know, yeah.
I wanna know.

It's all about change.
It's a metamorphosis.

I wanna know, yeah.
I wanna know.
It's all about love.
It's a metamorphosis.

(What are you doing in San Francisco?)

I'm an artist, honey, you'll see me sometimes
Making crazy pictures out of music and rhymes
Costume changes performed with poise
Dancing in formation with a couple of boys
I take them on the road with my reel-to-reels
I'm an artist, honey, you know how that feels?

It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes

(What does it mean?)

It's all about wonder, the power to be
Like thunder expressing electricity

Call it performance, call it art
I call it disaster if the tapes don't start
I've put all my life into live lip-sync
I'm an artist, honey, you gonna get me a drink?

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Aah-aah-aah-aah)

Come outside and see a brand new day
The troubles in your mind will blow away
It's easy to believe they're here to stay
But you won't find them standing in your way

Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come on, essa vida e'
That's the way life is
That's the way life is

Although we see the world through different eyes
We share the same idea of paradise
So don't search in the stars for signs of love
Look around your life, you'll find enough

Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come on, essa vida e'
That's the way life is
That's the way life is

Why do you want to sit alone in gothic gloom
Surrounded by the ghosts of love that haunt your room?
Somewhere there's a different door to open wide
You gotta throw those skeletons out of your closet and come outside

So you will see a brand new day
The troubles in your mind will blow away
It's easy to believe they're here to stay
But you won't find them standing in your way

Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come on, essa vida e'
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Come on, essa vida e'
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e', I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e'

I can't be cool
or nonchalant
Call me an impulsive fool
You're all I want
You may be right
It's too much, too soon
to talk of love all night
in your bedroom

I don't know why
it always comes as a surprise
to find I'm here with you
You smile and I am rubbing my eyes
at a dream come true

I won't play games
or waste your time
but I won't feel ashamed
to speak my mind
So just relax
Don't question why
For calculated facts
will not apply

I don't know why
it always comes as a surprise
to find I'm here with you
You smile and I am rubbing my eyes
at a dream come true

In my life there've been few
who've affected me the way you do
(You do, you do)

I'll tell no lies
I won't pretend
but if you've a broken heart
I'll help it mend

I don't know why
it always comes as a surprise
to find I'm here with you
You smile and I am rubbing my eyes
at a dream come true
Smile and I am rubbing my eyes
at a dream come true

. . .


Go to work and take your calls
Hang the fruits of your labor on the wall
With such precision and care
What does it matter if there's no one here to share?

The flowers in the garden
The wine
The "Waiting for Godot"
And so much modern time

All I want
Is what you want
I'm always waiting
For a Red Letter Day

The years perfecting a stance
Of measured cool
Fading to insignificance
The moment one starts to understand
What on Earth does it
Profit a man?

All I want
Is what you want
I'm always waiting
For a Red Letter Day

For something special
Somehow new
Someone saying "I love you"
Maybe I'm waiting for a Red Letter Day

You can sneer
Or disappear behind your veneer
Of self control
But for all of those who don't fit in
Who follow their instincts and are told they sin
This is a prayer for a different way

All I want
Is what you want
I'm always waiting
For a Red Letter Day

Like Christmas morning when you're a kid
Admit you love me and you always did
Maybe I'm waiting for that Red Letter Day

I'm always waiting
I'm always waiting
Waiting

For something special
Somehow new
Someone saying "I love you"
Maybe I'm hoping for that Red Letter Day
Today

News in this city
Breaks without pity
Long after the war has ended
We're still in fatigues

Up against it
The higher you fly, the further you fall
Up against it
Wondering why we fought after all

Such a cold winter
With scenes as slow as Pinter
Synchronize your watches
There's still time to kill

Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
Drinking this swill to sweeten the pill
Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
The more that it hurts, the less that it works

Wrapped in nostalgia to queue for a show
Back to Trafalgar, one kiss, then I'll go

So deep in quicklime
The bones of an old crime
I knew a man who raked them over
He's still suffering

Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
Buried so deep it gives me the creeps

Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
The longer you hate, the more that it grates
Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
Look left, then right, so run for your life

(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Oooooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh)

Up against it
The more that it hurts, the less that it works

(Oooh - oooh - oooh - oooh - oooh ...)

. . .


(Aaah - Aaah)

Cross a windy bridge one winter night
Past Embankment Gardens enter warmth and light
Face the music (It's never easy)
Forget the chill
Face the future (It's never easy)
Find the will

If life is worth living, it's got to be done
One might be forgiven for thinking it's a life on the run
Many roads will cross through many lives
But somehow you survive

(Oooh, aaah)

Look around, picture what's in store
Is this the final edit, or is the subject now a bore?
Don't shrug your shoulders (It's always easy)
You can't ignore

That life is worth living, it's still worth a damn
One might be forgiven for thinking it's something of a sham
Many words may make it sound contrived
But somehow we're alive

The survivors - Our heads bowed
The survivors - At memorials for other faces in the crowd

Teachers and artists (It's never easy)
And Saturday girls
In suits or sequins (It's never easy)
Or twinsets-and-pearls

If life is worth living, (If life is worth living)
It's got to be run (It's got to be run)
As a means of giving, (As a means of giving)
Not as a race (race) to be won (not to be won)
Many roads will run through many lives
But somehow we'll arrive

(Oooh, aaah, aaah)

Many roads will run through many lives
But somewhere we'll survive

. . .


The telephone's not answered
So many times you'll call
For many different reasons
so many tears will fall
before you find your love
before it comes knocking at your door
before you know for sure
this is what you were waiting for

So many fears will haunt you
deny them or regret
Some men will make you want to
and you will not forget
before you find your love
before it comes knocking at your door
before you know for sure
this is what you were waiting for

There's a story of a man who loved too much
He ended up inside a prison cell
You've got to want to give to get it
or you could land up in the same suspicious hell
It's happened before
It's happened before

Coincidence and patience
will mend this fatal flaw
Though it may seem a long wait
others have been here
before you find your love
before it comes knocking at your door
before you know for sure
this is what you were waiting for

One day when the phone starts ringing
you'll answer to the words you're longing for
No tears, no trade, no prison cell
Whatever you need, he will return more
It's happened before
It's happened before

. . .


By the cathedral
Into the sun
Pilgrims are singing
Their journey done
I look at my short life and think
Of all teh champagne that I drink
With all the faces that I know
And how much further can one go?

And if I decide
To step aside
I will try to reply to the feelings I hide

I look from my window
Down to the square
At workers still queueing
Patiently there
For market forces to provide
What history so far denied
For a different kind of fate
Than to labor long and always wait

And if I decide
To step aside
I will try to return to the person inisde

Will I always need you?
Would you want me too?
Can you love me for good?
That way you thought you could?

Or will Spring bring rain and Summer burn
Will tears at last precede the time
From Summer warmth to sudden cold
As certainly as growing old

And if I decide
To step aside
I will try to forget all the tears I'll have cried


. . .


I don't care what these commentators say
I swear I don't care, for what difference do they make?
I go where I go and I get there fast
Don't stop me, I know that it's not gonna last

(Oooh)
Forever forever
(Saturday night (Saturday night) Saturday night)
Forever forever
(Oooh)
Forever forever
(Saturday night (Saturday night) Saturday night)

If you see someone gorgeous then you think
Am I in with a chance? Should I try? Buy a drink?
Or maybe it's too much like hard work tonight
But if they look my way I might be alright

(Oooh)
Forever forever
(Saturday night (Saturday night) Saturday night)
Forever forever
(Oooh)
Forever forever
(Saturday night (Saturday night) Saturday night)
(Oooh)
Forever forever
(Saturday night (Saturday night) Saturday night)
Forever forever

I go where I go and I get there fast
Don't stop me, I know that it's not gonna last
