Thank you every - come on,
give her a proper Liverpool hand you can do better than that!
And now, ladies and gentlemen what you've been waiting for.

(sung)
I've come a long way
(spoken)
I've come a long long way since the day you walked into mylife
(sung)
You walked into my life
(spoken)
You smoothed out all of the rough edges with your sweet
love and devotion
(sung)
I was tired, in love like a fool
(spoken)
I was tired of living the life of a fool I was wondering
where I'd gone wrong

But I know it's gonna work out fine
(spoken)
But I know it's gonna work out fine when I see that
look in your eyes

CHORUS

Nothing can stop us now
No, no, no, no

(sung)
I've heard some people say
(spoken)
Yeah nothing can stop us now I've heard people
say that a man who needs a woman is weak
(sung) So wrong oh they're so wrong
(spoken)
But they'te so wrong because nobody can hide from love
(sung)
Ooh do you want to know
(spoken)
Do you want to know, do you want to know something else that'strue?
(sung)
It's true it's true just the touch of your hand, wo-oh
(spoken)
Just the touch of your hand and I know we can make it

CHORUS

I've never felt so strong
I've never felt so good
Nothing can stop us now.

Nothing, nothing etc.

Okay, so they're not highly literate lyrics 'cause it's a techno-mantra stomp kind of a thing. a vocal sample saying "seven" forms part of the rhythm loop at times.Seven ways to love, / seven ways to love, /Seven ways to love, / seven ways to love, / yeah! /

Is enough to give you the basic idea...

Who am i? /
I'm just a girl / who only wants /
To try / to do what's right; /
I'll never make / you cry, /
But you're no good for me, and /
Who do you think you are? /
You tried to push me a bit too far, /
And every day sees another scar. /
Oh tell me, who do you think you are? /
If you want me there, / you gotta care! /
Oh tell me, /

Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care. /
Who do you really think that you are? (who) /

Where are we? (oh where are we? ) /
We're at the cross roads and /
I just / can't see (just can't see) /
Which way to take / to keep you
Here / with me (here with me). /
The lights are changing, baby, /
Who do you think you are? /
You tried to push me a bit too far, /
And every day sees another scar. /
Oh tell me, who do you think you are? /
If you want me there, / you gotta care! /
Oh tell me, /

Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care. /
Who do you really think that you are? (who) /

If you want me there, / you gotta care! /
Oh tell me, /

Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care. /
Who do you really think that you are? (who)/

Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care...

Do you think a girl should go to bed with a feller, if she doesn't love him?
No. [pause] unless it's me.

I heard she drove the silvery sports-car /
Along the empty streets last night. /
Hanging around / with hair-dos like mine. /
No, I haven't seen the kids for some time. /

Picked up her shoes from the red-brick stairway, /
Just like a harpsichordist she moved. /
And back upstairs / at half past two, /
With a paper folded, outside the loo. /

Rain falls / like elvis tears. /
Oh no, / no sugar tonight. /
Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and /
Cry coloured tears again. /

And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time, /
On this platform with the drizzle in my eyes? /
And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time? /
The ticket's in my hand, the train pulls down the line. /

Rain falls / like elvis tears. /
Oh no, / no sugar. /
Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and /
Cry coloured tears. /

And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Oh no, no sugar tonight, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Oh no, no sugar tonight, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
No no, no sugar tonight. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me...

He's gone, he's gone.


She wears sad jeans torn at the waistband.
Her pretty face is stained with tears.
And in her right hand she clasps a letter;
I know this means that he has gone.


And in this town of mis-guided tourists,
she never thought she'd fall in love.
It was a few days after her birthday,
The thrill hostess gave her first kiss.


He said her skin smelled just like petals,
said stupid things he knew she'd like.
She said her life was like a motorway:
Dull, grey, and long 'til he came along.


He's gone, he's gone.


I said "How could he ever leave you?
You two were good, you were so right."
She said "I wish that he just left me;
He'd be alive, alive tonight."


He's gone, he's gone.
He's gone, he's gone.
He's gone, he's gone.

Milan, when I was a kitten
We’d sit and sing old songs
Milan, when I was a kitten
We’d sit and sing old songs

In my head listening to windchimes
Married a fool, I know
In my head listening to windchimes
Married a fool, I know

Why on Earth didn’t I wait for you?
Now look and see who’s paying?
Why on Earth didn’t I wait for you?
Now look and see who’s paying?

Those days on Radio 1
Set in the East, who cares?
Those days on Radio 1
Set in the East, who cares?

Close all of the doors, Maisie
Make sure he knows I’m gone
Close all of the doors, Maisie
Make sure he knows I’m gone

Closed down over the ocean
Open the doors, fresh air
Closed down over the ocean
Open the doors, fresh air

Western wind, when will thou blow?
That the snow rain down nay rain
Oh, that my love were in my arms
And lie in my bed again

You're mine...

Angel,
Nobody ever stopped to wonder why

Angel,
Nobody knows what's going on in my mind at night

A simple good morning
Or hello would have done
The silence 10 am
Not my idea of fun
The papers the photos
Things were found in the fire

Chorus:
Something that you said
The look upon your face
Something in the way you hold me
I know what they say
I know what this means
I know that you never told me

A change of hair colour
Clairol baby-blond
Im not quite used to it
It never takes too long
No makeup no earrings
Nothing to identify me

Chorus

Repeat chorus several times...

Seventeen, high school queen, Yeah you're pretty cute I can see. Well you've come a long way since september, but Sylvie you oughtta remember, You know he's mine. You know he's mine. You know he's mine. Sylvie girl I'm a very patient person but I'll have to shut you down, If you don't give up your flirting. Leave him alone 'cos I know he loves me. Leave him alone 'cos he tells me he loves me. Over and over and over and over again. Over and over and over and over again. Seventeen, high school queen, Yeah you're pretty cute, I can see. Well you've come along way since September, But Sylvie you oughtta remember, You know he's mine. You know he's mine. You know he's mine. Sylvie girl, although you're my little sister, Well you're not without your charms, I'm not sure that he'll resist you. Give it all up, for we see you crying. Give it all up, 'cos I know you've been trying. Over and over and over and over again. Over and over and over and over again. Over and over and over and over again. (repeat to fade, with backing vocals of 'Oh, Sylvie girl, oh Sylvie girl.')

I've never been to Rome
But I don't need to go
I don't need to go to know
Life would be sweet and slow

The traffic sign
The washing line
Down Holloway Road she goes
Wasting time

Just a little sleep
I need some dreams to keep
To keep my mind from running through
The stupid things I do

The shopping's done
the kettle's on
And if he calls today
I may come undone

Madeleine, could you explain? Madeleine, did she mention my name?

Somewhere in the East
A caravan rolled on
The waters flowed on through the town The rain fell on everyone

Madeleine, could you explain? Madeleine, did she mention my name?

Madeleine, could you explain? Madeleine, did she mention my name?

She walked out on you last Saturday
Under the wheels
Of a crowd on Main Street USA
Know how it feels

She said cancel everything
And like a fool
You never see what's happening
She dropped out school

Get away, let her go
Let her go now
Hey, in your brain
Yeah you know
Let her go now

I should have told you
To lose that girl
I should have told you
That's not your world

On her radio she turned the disco down
Disco down

She thought she'd look good in purple jeans from Santa Fe
And she overdosed on magazines

Just fade to grey

Get away, let her go
Let her go now
Hey, in your brain
Yeah you know
Let her go now

I should have told you
To lose that girl
I should have told you
That's not your world

On her radio she turned the disco down
Disco down

I should have told you
To lose that girl
I should have told you
That's not your world

I should have told you
I should have told you

Took a trip down Anita Way
had to go on the 1st of May
didn't have much to celebrate
heart failed in the back of a taxi
heart failed in the back of a taxi
doot do do
doot do do
get yer kicks all around the world
give a tip to a geisha girl
fit your bit with a piece of pearl
heart failed in the back of a taxi
heart failed in the back of a taxi
doot do do
doot do do
sold the ground to a PLC
moved the club out to Newbury
sod the fans and their families
heart failed in the back of a taxi
heart failed in the back of a taxi
picture-house built in '23
it's a place out of history
pulled it down for your cash money
heart failed in the back of a taxi
heart failed in the back of a taxi
doot do do
doot do do

A rose scented June
A rose he pulled in June
They're full upon the lawn
The doctor came at dawn

An old daily care
And Suzie Banana Stand
Through frosted windowpane
Your father's middlename
>From a train
And everywhere the snow falls
Sail away (x4)

A veil (pale(?)) faded blue
A Ruben's old curfew(?)
One windy Winter's day
A Windsor market day
People say
Everywhere the snow falls
Sail away (x8)

She's moving down the seaside
'Cause that's where he comes from
He gave away all of her records
Is that where she belongs?

Better think it through
Remember who
Is there something new?
Or is it you again?

Sail away (x12)

So take your red gown
And go down to the dam
To do as you please
On the streets of your town

The whistling kind
Shake it out of your mind
It could be the day
When you finally say
Sail away (x6)
On and on (x7)

Sarah speaks (2 lines missing):
Up the riverbank, land that dried up
The causeway full of nice cars
The sand a distant dream
_____________ (?) ______________
_____________ (?) ______________
Across the riverbank
Cross the riverbank, don't look back

Background sings:
To sail away
And on and on

Sarah sings:
I sail, you sail
I sail, you sail
Do you remember how? (x4)
Do you remember how we used to live? (x3)

Tony leaves the depot late,
Seventeen years with the Unigate
Drives his float down Gosswell Road
At twenty-five to Eight.
No. 9, Mrs Doris Brown
Pulls on her quilted dressing gown,
Shuts the fridge and boils the kettle,
Wipes the table down.
La la la la la la
Just as she pours the tea
She's whistling randomly
A milk bottle symphony
Ooh, Ooh
Milk bottle symphony.

No. 12, there's Amy Chan
Biting down, in line for the candyman
About the time she saw Tom Baker
Drinking down the âЂŒHat and FanâЂќ.
The man next door is Gary Stead
Shuffles downstairs with a heavy head
Scans the paper, takes a pill and
Stumbles back to bed.
La la la la la la
Didn't get home âЂ?til 3
Singing appallingly
A milk bottle symphony
Ooh, Ooh
A milk bottle symphony.

Emily Rose at 31,
Twenty minutes left to get her homework done
Leaves her cornflakes on the sofa,
Says goodbye to Mum.
La la la la la la
Jumps on the 43
Humming unconsciously
A milk bottle symphony
Ooh, ooh
Milk bottle symphony.

Day’s over and night must fall
Shadows creeping up the garden wall
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

Will you sing me to sleep?
And stroke my hair?
I’ll close my eyes if I know that you’re there

Put the bike in the alleyway
Shine of streetlights and a fuzzy grey
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

Draw the blinds on a yellow moon
A dark apartment and a distant tune
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
