You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more

Boy it's tough getting on in the world
When the sun doesn't shine and a boy needs a girl
It's about getting out of a rut, you need luck
But you're stuck and you don't know how, oh

(Don't have to be) A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don't have to drive) A super car to get far
(Don't have to live) A life of power and wealth
(Don't have to be) Beautiful but it helps
(Don't have to buy) A house in Beverly Hills
(Don't have to have) Your daddy paying the bills
(Don't have to live) A life of power and wealth
(Don't have to be) Beautiful but it helps

You need more
Than a big blank check to be a lover, or
A Gulfstream jet to fly you door to door
Somewhere chic on another shore

You need more You need more You need more
You need more You need more You need more
You need love
You need love
You need love

Too much of anything
Is never enough
Too much of everything
Is never enough

Boy it's tough getting on in the world
When the sun doesn't shine and a boy needs a girl
It's about getting out of a rut, you need luck
But you're stuck and you don't know how, oh

(Don't have to be) A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don't have to drive) A super car to get far
(Don't have to wear) A smile much colder than ice
(Don't have to be) Beautiful but it's nice

You need more
Than the Gerhard Richter hangin' on your wall
A chauffeur-driven limousine on call
To drive your wife and lover to a white tie ball

You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need love

I believe that we can achieve
The love that we need
I believe, call me naive
Love is for free

(Don't have to be) A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don't have to drive) A super car to get far
(Don't have to live) A life of power and wealth
(Don't have to be) Beautiful but it helps
Beautiful but it helps
Beautiful but it helps

It's something, that look in your eyes tonight
Like magic, it's changing everything in sight
I hear it all around me every day
In the music that you play

This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world
This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world

The night sky, like velvet, masks our eyes tonight
And falling, reveals the sun rise and ignite
We feel it all around us every day
In the music that we play

This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world
This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world
This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world

It's sincere and subjective
Superficial and true
Easy and predictable
Exciting and new
to say 'I want you'

This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world
This is a song about boys and girls
You hear it playing all over the world

Playing all over the world
Playing all over the world

City life just leaves me weak.
All this madness on the street.
Need to get away today
live my life a different way.
Is it only fantasy
to dream about a perfect me?

I wanna
live like beautiful people
give like beautiful people
with like beautiful people around.

Buy the lates magazine
and aspire to the dream
perfect home and perfect kids
not a life lived on the skids.
Is it only fantasy or could it be reality?

I wanna
live like beautiful people
give like beautiful people
with like beautiful people around.

Now I can see myself
without a care in the world.
It's a sun shining, money-spending
green and healthy new world.
Is it only fantasy
or could it be reality?

I wanna
live like beautiful people
give like beautiful people
with like beautiful people around.

Did you see me coming?
Was I that obvious?
For all of a sudden
There were just the two of us

You don't have to be in Who's Who
To know what's what
You don't have to be a high flier
To catch your flight

The night we met
Was cold and wet
I needed a drink or two
I saw you standing there
And I knew
I'd love to be loved by you

Did you see me coming?
Was I that obvious?
For all of a sudden
There were just the two of us

You don't have to be what's what
To know who's who
You don't need the DNA
To find the proof
Then and there my life made sense
You were the evidence

Did you see me coming?
Was I that obvious?
For all of a sudden
There were just the two of us
Did you see me coming?
I thought I'd have to make
All of the running
I was all yours to take

I'm not superstitious
Or really religious
Just to thyself be true
But now I think I'm starting to believe in fate
Because it delivered you

Did you see me coming? (did you see me?)
Was I that obvious? (was I that obvious?)
For all of a sudden (for all of a sudden)
There were just the two of us (two of us)
Did you see me coming? (did you see me?)
I thought I'd have to make (thought I'd have to make)
All of the running (all of the running)
I was all yours to take (to take)
[x2]

You may think I'm strong
And I can do no wrong
But I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

I may be hard to take
But you can call me fake
'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

I know the assumption
Is that I'm tough
With all my anger
That's fair enough
Even with friends
I have to compete
And try being me
When you walk down the street

It's not easy
By the by
Just surviving
In the public
Eye

You may think I'm strong
And I can do no wrong
But I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

I may be hard to take
But you can call me fake
'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

You know I can't ever
Bear to seem weak
Or have any doubts
That's just my technique
I put in the hours
At least I don't shirk
A little bravado
Does much of the work

I am no one's
Stepping stone
But I couldn't live life
In private
Alone

You may think I'm strong
And I can do no wrong
But I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

I may be hard to take
But you can call me fake
'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

At night
I am lying awake
Through the hours trying
To calculate
Am I good enough?
Could I contrive?
To keep this sham around
Will I survive?

I know you must sometimes
Think I don't care
Or even appreciate
What we share

Though I'm no one's
Stepping stone
The truth is I love you
And I'd go crazy
Alone

You may think I'm strong
And I can do no wrong
But I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

I may be hard to take
But you can call me fake
'cause I'm vulnerable
So vulnerable
Without you

So vulnerable without you

Coming soon
Something good
Something we can share
Understood
Could be better news
We can share
Something's coming soon
I hear it everywhere

(live it) it's the story of our lives
(come give it) it's the way we've always been
(come give it) though the mountains may divide
(come give it) we can reach the sea

I believe we can change
We can make it more than a dream
And I believe we can change
It's not as strange as it might seem

In the air I can feel
Something magical becoming real
From the other side looking in
Come on, throw the dice
And tonight we'll win

(live it) it's the story of our lives
(come give it) it's the way we've always been
(come give it) though the mountains may divide
(come give it) we can reach the sea

I believe we can change
We can make it more than a dream
And I believe we can change
It's not as strange as it might seem
[x2]

Driving through the night
Just you and me
Faster than any light
Something's calling (calling, calling)
Calling us away
Do you believe
Heaven isn't that obvious
We'll be there in a heartbeat

I believe we can change
We can make it more than a dream
And I believe we can change
It's not as strange as it might seem

It's not as strange as it might seem
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh (repeats in background)

I believe we can change
We can make it more than a dream
And I believe we can change
It's not as strange as it might seem
[x3]

Protection (prevention)
Detection (detention)
There's no where to defect to any more
[x2]

I'm building a wall
A fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in
[x2]

Back then on a bomb site
We were spies among the ruins
Such precocious barbarians
On TV we saw
Cold War

Protection (prevention)
Detection (detention)
There's no where to defect to any more
[x2]

I'm leaving the world
It's all wrong
Not so much what many are doing
Much more what's within us

I'm building a wall
A fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in

Jesus and the man from Angol (?)
Caesar conquered Gaul
Scouting for Centurians
On a Roman war

Through the woods, the trees
And further on, the sea
We lived in the shadow of the wall
Sand in the sandwiches
Wasps in the tea
It was a free country
(who do you think you are, Captain Britain?)

I'm building a wall
A fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in

I'm losing my head
Well, why not?
More work for the undertaker
Means there's less for me

I'm building a wall
A fine wall
Not so much to keep you out
More to keep me in
[x3]

Small man, big world
Lost beyond the pale
I know you
Inside out
I... can tell the tale

Across the sky
The change of time
Last night I lost all day
I'm here and there
I'm anywhere
Away... from Manderley

And if I were
The king of Rome
I couldn't be more tragic
My fate to Rome
So far from home
In search... of my last magic

Oh... baby, come back
Oh... baby, come back to me

The desert moon
A new lagoon
We glide upon the surface
Night falls fast
My shadow's cast
Arriving... with a purpose

Oh... baby, come here
Oh... baby, come here today

And if I were
The king of Rome
I couldn't be more lonely
With so much scope
To dream and hope
Someday... you'll deign to phone me

Oh... baby, come here
Oh... baby, come here today

I long for your inscrutable, pale face
I hunger for your beautiful embrace

Is this a riot or are you just pleased to see me?
Why aren't we holding hands and talking sweet
I love you really, though I know no-one believes me
There's chaos every time we meet

Oh now look what you've gone and done
You're creating pandemonium
That song you sing means everything
To me, I'm living in ecstasy
The stars and the sun dance to your drum
And now it's pandemonium!

You're crashing everywhere, it's like you're smashing china
Skidding on an icy road
You're major trouble since you were almost a minor
I sometimes think we'll both explode

Oh now look what you've gone and done
You're creating pandemonium
That song you sing means everything
To me, I'm living in ecstasy
My world's gone mad, what did you do?
Telling perfect strangers that I love you
The stars and the sun dance to your drum
And now it's pandemonium!

I can't make sense of anything
All I know is the party's in full swing
If we both just stopped for a minute
I'd declare war and then you'd win it

To tell you the truth, I thought I was shockproof
Until I saw what you get up to
When you think about it, it's quite an achievement
That after all I still love you

Oh now look what you've gone and done
You're creating pandemonium
That song you sing means everything
To me, I'm living in ecstasy
My world's gone mad, what did you do?
Telling perfect strangers that I love you
The stars and the sun dance to your drum
And now it's pandemonium!

I'm here
You're there
Come closer
Tonight I'm lonely

Come here
With me
I want it
The way it used to be

What is left of love?
Tell me, who will even care?
So much time has passed
I'd still meet you anywhere

Water under bridge
Evening after day
What is left of love
Here that didn't drift away?

I can remember days of sun
We knew our lives had just begun
We could do anything
We're fearless when we're young

Under the moon, address unknown
I can remember nights in Rome
I thought that love would last
A promise set in stone

I'd survive with only memories
If I could change the way I feel
But I want more than only memories
A human touch to make them real

Another day, another dream
Over the bridge an empty scene
We'd spend the weekend lost in bed
And float upstream

I don't know why we moved away
Lost in the here and now we strayed
Into a New York zone
Our promise was betrayed

I was there, caught on Tenth Avenue
You elsewhere with Culver City blues
Then and there I knew that I'd lost you

What is left of love?
Tell me, who will even care?
So much time has passed
I'd still meet you anywhere

Water under bridge
Evening after day
What is left of love
Here that didn't drift away?

Don't give me all your northern pain
Don't sell me New York in the rain
Let's leave our promises behind
Rewind and try again

What remains in time
That didn't fade away?
Sometimes I need to see
The way it used to be

That's it, the end
But you'll get over it, my friend

Time will pass, governments fall
Glasses melt, hurricanes bawl
High speed trains, take us away
North or south... and back the same day

And you, you'll get over it
You do, you get over it

Seasons will change, more or less
Species vanish, art perplex
Resentment remain, both east and west
Police expect... an arrest

For now, you'll get over it
Somehow, you'll get over it

You'll be there, the king over the water
In despair, recoiling from the slaughter
They're raising an army, in the North
From York Minster to the Firth of Forth
The pilgrimage of grace, you won't believe it
Such a human face... when you receive it

And you will, get over it
With time to kill, you'll get over it

There's a cruiser waiting, at Scapa Flow
To take you away from all you know
The old man agonized
He really has compromised
Public opinion may not be on your side
There's those who think they've been taken for a ride

You'll get over it, I'm on your side because
You'll get over it, and what a ride it was

[four lines of French lyrics]

It's dark, but you'll get over it
On your mark, you'll get over it

That car phone warehouse boy has been on the phone
He wants to upgrade the mobile you own
Have you realized your computer's a spy?
Give him a ring, he'll explain why

The bourgeoisie will get over it
Look at me, I'm so over it
And you, you'll get over it
You do, you'll get over it... in time

[No lyrics]
