Oh baby the freezing cold
Oh baby the dead of night
Oh baby the blue blue flowers
Oh baby in the midnight hour

I'll be your heroine
If they come knocking
I won't let them in
I'll be your heroine heroine

Oh baby just in time
Well maybe the night is mine
Oh baby don't forget
I'll save you it's not over yet

If you're feeling sick and it starts to rain
When you're in a fix I'll ease your pain

I'll be your heroine
If they come knocking
I won't let them in
I'll be your heroine heroine

Oh baby the telephone
Oh baby the devil's smile
Oh baby you're not alone
Don't worry I'll stay a while

I can hold your hand when the night is dark
In this foreign land I'm your Joan of Arc

I'll be your heroine
If they come knocking
I won't let them in
I'll be your heroine heroine

I'm your heroine
And if they come knocking
I won't let them in
I'm your heroine

. . .


Think about what you're doing baby
Think about faith
Think of the blood that's running
'Round in your veins
You're soft and naked
You're young and strong
My heartbeat races
As you aim the gun
And these prison walls
Can't hold me anymore

Run silent, run deep
You've taken over me
And even when I sleep
Run silent, run deep

When you talk of reconstruction
Do you want it to last
Don't talk of revolution
As a thing of the past
I need a hero are you on my side?
Or just a temple for my sacrifice
And these prison walls
Will have to let me go

Run silent, run deep
You've taken over me
And even when I sleep
Run silent, run deep

From my soul to your fears
From my lips to your ears
One heartbeat
In this world tonight
And in these prison walls
I see an open door

Run silent, run deep
You've taken over me
And even when I sleep
Run silent, run deep

. . .


Ladies and gentleman
For your listening pleasure
Live from England:
The solid state sound of pure sex...

In the corner shops times are hard
Faces thin as credit cards
I walk past posters selling simple sex, ooh!
And all the records using cheap effects
I'm going down to the station in the heart of town
To buy a ticket just to hang around

I've got a dirty mind
I've got a dirty mind
Take a look at yourself

You stare are you looking at me
Or just an image from your colour TV
Dollar signs and neon lights
Shine on the people every night
I'm going down to the river to wash my sins away
But they'll be back tomorrow anyway

I've got a dirty mind
I've got a dirty mind
Take a look at yourself

I've got imagination
I got hallucinations
Do you want some?

I've got a dirty mind
I've got a dirty mind
Take a look at yourself

Smelling like a rose
Looking like a queen
I'll have a double dose If you know what I mean
Went down to the river
With no one to trust
When you know what you want
Then you do what you must
But you'd better think smart
And take my advice
Just think of nothing
And double it twice
I bought you a trumpet
And a brand new suit
Just don't be disappointed
When you lick the fruit

. . .

Sacred Heart

[No lyrics]

I remember you back in '83
Singing in the rain
In sweet harmony
I get so lonely
As the pages turn in my history
You fade away like a mystery
I get so lonely

Heaven is in your arms dear
Heaven is in your arms dear
I will never let you go
I will never let you go
Heaven is in your arms dear
Heaven is where you are
I will never leave you
I will never let you go

If you never come back into my life
I'll cut these strings with a golden knife
I won't be lonely, I won't be lonely
I'll steal your body from the hall of fame
So the U.S.A. will know my name
I get so lonely, I get so lonely

Heaven is in your arms dear
Heaven is in your arms dear
I will never let you go
I will never let you go
Heaven is in your arms dear
Heaven is where you are
I will never leave you
I will never let you go

I read in this month's Passion magazine
Or was I just imagining things?
It seemed so real
I've got something that you left behind
A picture of you in my mind

Heaven is in your arms dear
Heaven is in your arms dear
I will never let you go
I will never let you go
Heaven is in your arms dear
Heaven is where you are
I will never leave you
I will never let you go

Well
you made your bed
better lie in it - get back to sleep !

You should see me when you're not around
I'm a genius in this town

I'm a queen bee when the coast is clear

now I know I don't need you
dear.
So leave your hand like a magic man and disappear !

You're history
like a beat up car
No good for me
like an old film star
You're history
that's what you are
na na na na

You're history
you're history
No good for me
no good for me
You're history
you're history
na na na na na

You should see me from your ivory tower
I'm the hero of the hour

I'm a close friend of destiny when you're not here to bother me.
Well
you made your bed
better lie in it
get back to sleep !

You're history
like ancient Rome
No good for me
like the Dead Sea Scrolls
You're history
everybody knows
na na na na

You're history
you're history
My enemy
my enemy
You're history
you're history
na na na na na

So get on your bike and take a hike right out of here !

You're history
you're history
No good for me
no good for me
You're history
you're history
na na na na

You're history
like a worn-out shoe
My enemy
you're nothing new
you're history
you're history
ooh-ooh-ooh

You're history
like a beat up car
No good for me
like an old film star
You're history
you're history
na na na na

You're history
sing it girl
let me hear you
You're history
na na na na

You're history
hm - my enemy
bye-bye
bye-bye
You're history
so long

. . .


With your new shoes and your black moods
You really break my heart
With your world acclaim and your family name
You really break my heart
Wrapped up warm in yourself tonight
You wonder why things aren't going right

You really break my heart
You really break my heart I bleed for you
You really break my heart
You really break my heart

Got a good looking lover don't need any other
To break my heart
Reading highbrow books just to cultivate your looks
You really break my heart
Watch out here's another breakdown
You wonder what caused it this time 'round

You really break my heart
You really break my heart I bleed for you
You really break my heart
You really break my heart

Home most nights with the TV on
You don't want to be with anyone

You really break my heart
You really break my heart I bleed for you
You really break my heart
You really break my heart

. . .

Red Rocket

I know what you're thinking
Don't want to make you blue
I'm heading out this evening
Looking for electric moon

Electric moon
Electric moon
Electric moon
Electric moon

You know I love you darling
I'm dancing to your tune
Something snapped inside my brain
Under an electric moon

Electric moon
Electric moon
Electric moon
Electric moon

Dogs come out at midnight
In this troubled land
Going's tough and I've had enough
So here I make my stand

I said, going's tough and I've
had enough
So here I make my stand

You can trust me daddy
You know I'll do you right
Let me have my fun this evening
You've got all tomorrow night

Electric moon
Electric moon
Electric moon
Electric moon

I wanna see the sparks fly
Electric moon
I wanna see the stars shine
Electric moon
That old moon's got me in its spell
Wow...

Primitive Love

[No lyrics]

. . .


Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

Don't let them fool you
Or even try to school you, oh! no
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinking
Is not right
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness there must come out to light

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

The road of life is rocky
And you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers
Someone else is judging you

Could you be, could you be,
Could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved

Don't let them change you
Or even rearrange you, oh! no
We've got a life to live
They say only, only
Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive

Could you be loved and be loved
Could you be loved and be loved

You ain't gonna miss your water

Until your well runs dry
No matter how you treat him
The man will never be satisfied

Could you be, could you be,
Could you be loved
Could you be, could you be loved

. . .


I'm gonna bury my head
Just for you
I'll be your silicone doll
If you want me to
I won't tell you what I'm thinking
You'd never guess
That what I am is of your making
It's you who made me come to this

You made me come to this
It's you who made me come to this

I'm gonna colour my hair Hollywood
Dress up like you think I should
I won't show you what I'm thinking
You wouldn't get the gist
That what I am is of your making
It's you who made me come to this

You made me come to this
It's you who made me come to this

Hey, remember what I did to please you?
I hung around with all your stupid friends
I smiled in all the right places
And still you didn't notice my new leather catsuit, did ya?!

You made me come to this
It's you who made me come to this
