Words and music Mick Hucknall

In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder though
Sexily so, I'm gonna do the right thing
Feelin' hot, I ain't never gonna stop
To get what you got, you better take what I bring
Feel it now, much harder now
More than any old how, say you feel the pain

Feel I'm getting harder now, get off your back four
Get on top more owww!
Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off your back four
Get on top more

I told you to stop, "You're sleeping out a lot"
You told me get lost, where's your understanding
I feel it now much harder than I've ever done now
I'd better do the right thing

I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing

Feel I'm getting harder now, get off your back four
Get on top more owww!
Feel I'm sinking farther down, get off your back four
Get on top more

In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder than I've ever done now
I'm gonna do the right thing

I'm gonna do the right thing
I'm gonna do the right thing

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
You know I told you that I would never dream of leaving
If I did it right
I'm gonna do the right thing

. . .


Words and music Hucknall/Dozier/Hucknall

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

Your call has been registered
It'll be returned when I get back home
I've been out loving all night long
I can't help it, that love it makes me strong

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

Ask me all the questions you need
I don't tell lies, my conscience don't bleed
You'll get all the time I can give
As long as you respect my freedom to live

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

I just can't be trusted

A kick in the ribs for the arrival late at night
So late in the evening you could see the morning light
When you're sat up alone and you wonder where I've been
You can pick up my belongings and tell me where I can take them

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

I just can't be trusted

Infidelity

. . .


Words and music Hucknall/Dozier/Hucknall

Something deep inside of me
That when it comes it won't bring too much prolong
I don't know how hard it'll be when I suffer
Affection is a start for me, I hope it's gonna move on
This time it's gonna be hard for me, I don't wanna suffer

I fight it hard when it tears my heart
Oh when I want someone I gotta have someone
And when I come to the conclusion
So scared I don't want to fall

Please don't make me suffer
Please don't make me suffer

Did he break his broken heart for you
Oh no mother, he never loved a single other person
This time it's gonna be hard for me, I don't want to suffer

I fight it hard when it tears my heart
Oh when I want someone I gotta have someone
And when I come to the conclusion
So scared I don't want to fall

Please don't make me suffer
Please don't make me suffer
I'm not hard enough, I'm not strong enough
Don't make me suffer

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall/Simply Red

If I said you were evil
You'd knock me off my feet
If I said you're a good girl
You'd bore me off my seat
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men

I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine

I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad

It's written in the books
In the literature that I've read
Temporary blindness
Breezing through the fog again
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men

I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine

I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad

I never get enough of it

I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad

Bad Bad Bad!!!

. . .


Words and music Cole Porter

Ev'ry time we say goodbye I die a little
Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me they allow you to go

When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange The change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye.

When you're near there's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere waiting to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange The change from major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye.

Words and music Sylvester Sewart

You have turned into a prayer
I can feel I'm almost there
Closer closer to the top
Looking down is quite a drop

Let me have it all
Let me have it all

You set up a barrier
Don't you know I'd marry ya
Can't explain how you make me feel
Looking down is mighty real
Make me feel like a king
Everything is everything

Let me have it all
Let me have it all

You set up a barrier
Don't you know I'd marry ya
Just to be near you is to be
Just so you can give it to me

Let me have it all
Let me have it all

. . .


Words and music Bunny Wailer

Fire fire
Fire fire
Fire fire fire fire
Can't put it out with water

Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul

Your love is like a burning fire
It keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul
This love of mine it's my one desire
It's gonna set my soul on fire
It'll never grow cold

Fire fire fire
Fire fire fire
Keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul

Your love is so kind to I
So good good
It'll never grow cold
This love of mine it's my one desire
It's gonna set my soul on fire
It'll never grow cold

Fire fire
Fire fire
Fire fire fire fire
Can't put it out with water

Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning
Keeps on burning burning burning
In my soul

. . .


Words and Music Mick Hucknall

So you tell me you're certain about it
Sure to tell me you're rid of me
How cool can you be
Shrugging you're shoulders saying you're rid of me
That's the way it is
So sickly sweet and oh so candy
No matter which way it is
I'll live in the flat the council gave me

You'd better move on out now
Leave town and get on out now

Living with each other only for the sake of it
Living in a shack they said was "handy"
Your good looks blew you out and now you want no part of it
Suffice to tell me you're rid of me
That's the way it is
I'll live in the flat that the housing gave me

Look uh get outa here!
get outa here!

You'd better move on out now
Leave town and get on out now

Poisoned letters from snakes who died to make it
Hung out drying in the cemetery
My personality always is a problem
Always was and always will be
That's the way it is
You don't need to understand me 
No matter which way it is
I'll live in the flat that the housing gave me

Look uh get outa here!
get outa here!

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

Ooh I remember those old love letters
Plagued with memories, I can't forget us
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it

Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out boy, it never ended
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
But your love it shines

In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines

Here in this apartment with oh too many rooms
Pearls once meant something, they brought me only gloom
Trying to fight it, trying to hide it
Rekindled flames they're not recommended
But it never went out boy, it never ended
Crime can fight it, lies can hide it
But your love it shines

In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines

You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up
You'd better shine your love, shine your love, shine it up

In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good, someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines

. . .


Words and music Mick Hucknall

I've been a fool, talking to myself and no-one else
I play it cool, so cool that no-one ever understands me

Maybe one day someone will come
Now! Now

I didn't do the things I was supposed to do
You didn't move, you used me and I used you too

Maybe one day someone will come
Maybe one day someone will come

Why it's killing you, is a reason for yourself and no-one else
I couldn't move, you used it and it used you too

Maybe one day someone will come
Maybe one day someone will come
