She likes to wake up and just fake it
She knows if she touches it she'll break it
She can see all the houselights fading
And the ground beneath her feet is shaking
She's singing bye bye my old friend
You're never going to see my face again
You left me outside in the rain
So goodbye mr. a.

Just when you think she's wearing thin
She's walking out with the biggest man you've ever seen
You're never gonna see my face again
It took some time so here I am,
So bye bye mr. a.
Well now her grass is looking greener
And you hope that sometime you might see her
What a diamond, boy, looks like you missed it
It must have left you feeling sick and twisted
Bye bye my old friend
You're never gonna see my face again
You left me outside in the rain
So bye bye I said bye bye

Walking through the rooms in my head
I came across your image
You looked at me with that sweet smile and said
Something they won't let me repeat
We hurt the ones we love the most
It's a subtle form of compliment

I don't care if you talk about me
I don't care if you write it out in stone
Whenever I fall I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care

Mark the spot you hate with an x
Then shoot your bow and arrow
Do your worst get it all off your chest
I'll hold my breath and swallow
We hurt the ones we love the most
It's a subtle form of discipline

I don't care if you talk about me
I don't care if you write it out in stone
Whenever I fall I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care

I don't care if you act like a queen
I don't care if you take it out on me
I've got 9 lives and I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care

Out of the alley, I spoke came Victoria
Queen Victoria sitting shocked upon the rocking horse
Of a wave said to the laureate
This minx a course as sharp as any lynx
And blacker deeper than the drinks
As any hottentot without remorse
For the lynx said she and the drinks you can see
Are hot as any hottentot and not the goods for me
Hot as any hottentot and not the goods for me

I don't care if you talk about me
I don't care if you write it out in stone
Whenever I fall I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care

I don't care if you act like a queen
I don't care if you take it out on me
I've got 9 lives and I land on my feet
I don't care, I just don't care

things were going pretty well 'till i died
on that summer afternoon
when you broke down before my eyes
well i got a streak of meaness
a clumsy way of speaking
and i don't know where i get it from
it must run in my family

do i have to go down on my knees?
this is my 16th apology to you
with friends like me who needs enemies

i got a river the size of my rage
which is really something else
when you think of my tender age
well i got a way about me
but it's hard for me to see it
and i don't know when i'm wrong
why am i so hard to please?

do i have to go down on my knees?
this is my 16th apology to you
with friends like me who needs enemies

the things i said about you
were all said yesterday
i didn't mean to hurt you
maybe we could work it out someday

do i have to go down on my knees?
this is my 16th apology to you
with friends like me who needs enemies

. . .


it's just another day in this crazy place
well, don't you ever feel like you're losing the race
we're all on the same long road
to get where we want to go

are we in love yet?
don't you know that's what it's all about
are we in love yet?
don't you know that's what makes the world turn round

don't need a crystal ball to see what's going on
i can see the signs so come on everybody, let it shine
coz love makes you love somebody
love turns you into somebody

are we in love yet?
don't you know that's what it's all about
are we in love yet?
that's what makes the world turn round

are we in love yet?
don't you know that's what it's all about
are we in love yet?
don't you know that makes the world go

love's spinning, love's spinning round
love's spinning, love's spinning round
coz love makes you love somebody
love turns you into somebody

are we in love yet?
don't you know that's what it's all about
are we in love yet?
that's what makes the world go round

i've seen the world from a first class seat
i've read the bitch and ulysses
i've tried religion and philosophy
i've walked upon the sea

now the air is getting thin
you make my senses start to swim
it's just a suicidal whim
but i can't resist

an emotional thing an emotional thing
an emotional thing an emotional thing

now isolation can be sweet
no juvenile deliquent heat
i don't have to tell ya where i'm (coming) from
if i leave my cat suit on

now the air is getting thin
you make my senses start to spin
it's just a suicidal whim
but i can't resist

an emotional thing an emotional thing
an emotional thing an emotional thing

now the air is getting thin
you make my senses start to spin
now the air is getting thin
you make my senses start to spin
it's just a suicidal whim
but i can't resist

an emotional thing an emotional thing

. . .


if this world is wearing thin
and you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
just wrap me up in chains
but if you try to go alone
don't think I'll understand

stay with me, stay with me

in the silence of your room
in the darkness of your dreams
you must only think of me
there can be no in between
when your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more

stay with me, stay with me

you'd better hope and pray
that you'll make it safe
back to your own world
you'd better hope and pray
that you'll wake one day
in your own world

Cos when you sleep at night
They don't hear you cries in your own world
Only time will tell if you can break the spell
Back in your own world

stay with me, stay with me
stay with me, stay with me (repeat until end)

. . .


Come on, tune in to the life
Black sky blue world green eyes

And you'll come running
To the dark side of the moon
And 'though you'll never find us
We'll still be watching you

Come on, tune in to the life
Black sky blue world green eyes

No peace for the wicked
No rest for the good
No use in pretending
That love is in your blood

Come on, tune in to the life
Black sky blue world green eyes

Come on

I ain't gonna sing that devil shit

Come on

Some people say he has a deathwish
Trouble is he tends to agree
Let's not ask too many questions
It's nothing to do with you or me

He remembers a time when even going home was sweet
Now he can't feel the ground under his feet

And she said
"The trouble with Andre
Is he thinks he hides everything"
But I know the trouble with Andre
Is he's a liar

Inside the dresser by the table
Something he keeps beside the bed
Living with Andre can't be easy
Some things are better left unsaid

He remembers a time before the waters got so deep
When he found it easier to sleep

And she said
"The trouble with Andre
Is he thinks he hides everything"
But I know the trouble with Andre
I he's a liar

And you know
The trouble with Andre
Is he thinks he fools everyone
But I know the trouble with Andre
Is his disguise

. . .


birds can fly and fish can swim
but on this planet where do i fit in?
i could be in trouble or just imagining
sometimes i feel like an alien
i make them laugh i make them stare
but mr. jones said "hey young girl
don't feel sorry for yourself
the world's out there"

and everyone's waiting to see what you're gonna do
and if you come down to earth we'll fall in love with you
the papers all want to know exactly who you are
coz everyone wants to love you, moonchild

there's a moonchild in everyone, oh little moonchild
you're not the only one!

i looked at the world from another star
that's when i discovered who you really are
and now i'm hungry for the taste
and life is just too good to waste
so take off into outer space
i'll see you there!

there's a moonchild in everyone, oh little moonchild
you're not the only one!

. . .


I was floating around the atmosphere
I liked what i saw so i came down here
I was looking for something, looking for something
And the sky came up to meet with me
Magnetic forces greeted me
I was looking for something, looking for something

I'm a superhuman 3-d baby
A hollywood brainchild to drive you crazy
And I'm coming your way real soon
I'm the catwoman from the moon

Now peace and love like a willow tree
Have hung their heads and wept for me
And I'm looking for someone, looking for someone
So earth, don't you betray me
I'm willing to have your baby
Are you looking for someone, looking for someone

I'm a superhuman 3-d baby
A hollywood brainchild to drive you crazy
And I'm coming your way real soon
I'm the catwoman from the moon

. . .


she's the queen of cliche
lit from the highest tower
she loves to entertain you
but she charges by the hour

here among the flowers
of faith and hope i stand
while you are buried in the mass
of weeds you sowed by hand

you're looking for a saviour
a queen from tv
but if you want to trust someone
well how about me

let me entertain you
is your soul for hire
let me entertain you
have you got the time

in a bar in oklahoma
she offered you a dream
but it turned into a coma
well there are no in betweens
sleep comes to the navyman
who has to work the yard
but love's an added extra
you get when you're a star

let me entertain you
is your soul for hire
let me entertain you
have you got the time

let me entertain you
is your love for hire
let me entertain you
have you got the time

don't you want to put your trust in
someone who's not ordinary
don't you want to put your trust in someone like me

let me entertain you
let me entertain you

let me entertain you
is your heart for hire
let me entertain you
is your soul for hire

let me entertain you
is your love for hire
let me entertain you
have you got the time

let me entertain you
let me entertain you
have you got the time

Woke up this morning and the streets were full of cars
All bright and shiny like they'd just arrived from Mars
And as I stumbled through last nights drunken debris
The paperboy screamed out the headlines in the street

Another war and now the pound is looking weak
And tell me have you read about the latest freak?
We're bingo numbers and our names are obsolete
Why do I feel bitter when I should be feeling sweet

Hello, hello turn your radio on
Is there anybody out there?
Help me sing my song
La la la life is a strange thing
Just when you think you learned how to use it
It's gone

Woke up this morning and my head was in a daze
A brave new world has dawned upon the human race
Where words are meaning less and everything's surreal
Gonna have to reach my friends to find out how I feel

And if I taste the honey is it really sweet
And do I eat it with my hands or with my feet?
Does anybody really listen when I speak
Or will I have to say it all again next week

Hello, hello turn your radio on
Is there anybody out there?
Help me sing my song

Hello, hello turn your radio on
Is there anybody out there?
Tell me what went wrong
La la la life is a strange thing
Life is a strange thing

Hello, hello turn your radio on
Is there anybody out there?
Help me sing my song
Hello, hello turn your radio on
Is there anybody out there?
Help me sing my song
La la la life is a strange thing
Just when you think you learned how to use it
It's gone
