"We want to multiply, are you gonna do it? I know you qualify, are you gonna do it? Don't be so circumscribed, are you gonna do it? Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it?Feel the heat pushing you to decide Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not.Some like it hot, and some sweat when the heat is on. Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on. Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'till you try. Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'till we fry."

"Airmail, cassettes, postcards, telex Drop me a line, be my grapevine I'm always trying to reach you, can't get through Our communication depends on me and you."

"What good's a rock without a roll It's a sorry lookin donut if it doesn't have a hole She gets so hot she's infra-red She can show you a position that's prohibited."

"She took me to her hotel, A room on the second floor. A kettle and two coffees, A number on the door. She said I hardly know you. Agreed we kissed goodnight. I knew that in the morning, Somehow I'd wake to findSunlight on the lino, Waking me with a shake. I looked around to find her, But she'd gone. Goodbye girl. Goodbye girl. Goodbye girl."

"Next night he called for her, But dad protected daughter And told him she was poorly. A lie was told there surely. So Michael felt rejected, This wasn't quite expected. He drove off to his local Where he felt anti-social."

"To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub. On seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough. I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash. I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash. But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash. And by the time I'm sober, I've forgotten what I've had. And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat. Cool for cats."

"He smokes himself into double vision, Leaves his mind on an indecision. Thinks he's invented imagination, Says that God is some relation."

"As the hangover strikes, And I turn on the tap. But the water's too loud. And I'm caged by the fact That the battle's not lost. Is it the hair of the dog? Or the Baa of a Lamb? In a sheepish attempt To be half of the man That I might be or was."

"Emotions leaking out Her paint's all over town.What's that she's playing? (Annie, get your gun) What's that she's taking? (The song has to be sung) She's gone electric."

"Beat me up with your letters, your walk out notes. Funny how you still find me right here at home. Legs up with a book and a drink. Now is that love that's making you think?"

"I never thought it would happen With me and the girl from Clapham. Out on a windy common, That night I ain't forgotten. When she dealt out the rations With some or other passions. I said "You are a lady." "Perhaps," she said, "I may be.""

"I've come across the desert to greet you with a smile. My camel looks so tired, it's hardly worth my while. To tell you of my travels across the golden East. I see your preparations invite me first to feast.Take me, I'm yours, Because dreams are made of this. Forever there'll be a heaven in your kiss."

"With where-have-you-beens and far away frowns, Trying to be good by not being 'round.And here in the bar, the piano man's found Another nail for my heart. And here in the bar, the piano man's found Another nail for my heart."

"Drinks to remember I, me and myself, And winds up the clock and knocks dust from the shelf. Home is a love that I miss very much, So the past has been bottled and labelled with love."

"There's a stain on my notebook where your coffee cup was And there's ash in the pages, now I've got myself lost. I was writing to tell you that my feelings tonight Are a stain on my notebook that rings your goodbye.Oh, now she's gone, And I'm back on the beat. A stain on my notebook Says nothing to me.Oh, now she's gone. And I'm out with a friend (out with a friend). With lips full of passion And coffee in bed."

"But behind the chalet, My holiday's complete. And I feel like William Tell, Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet. Pulling mussels from a shell. Pulling mussels from a shell."

"I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, A flannel for my face. Pajamas, a hairbrush, New shoes and a case. I said to my reflection "Let's get out of this place." Past the church and the steeple, The laundry on the hill. The billboards and the buildings, Memories of it still Keep calling and calling. But forget it all, I know I will.Tempted by the fruit of another. Tempted but the truth is discovered. What's been going on now that you have gone, There's no other. Tempted by the fruit of another. Tempted but the truth is discovered."

"She wants to give up love for good, She kicks the fence and splits the wood. She cries her eyes out in the rain, She swears aloud and so again She feels messed around."

"If I didn't love you, I'd hate you. I'm playing your stereogram. Singles remind me of kisses, Albums remind me of plans. Tonight it's love by the fire, The wind plays over the coals. Passionate looks are my fancy, But you turn the look into stone."

"An angel walked amongst us, Tried but couldn't love us. Something's wrong. Since you've gone you know There's nothing and no one To hang love on.So tell me how it feels, Tell me how it feels To touch the flame. Tell me who I am, Tell me who I really am. What's my name?"

"She floats like a swan, Grace on the water. Lips like sugar. Lips like sugar. Just when you think you've caught her, She glides across the water. She calls for you tonight To share this moonlight.You'll flow down her river. She'll ask and you'll give herLips like sugar, Sugar kisses. Lips like sugar, Sugar kisses."

"I want to be like you. I want to fly, fly, fly. Want you to take me to All of your sky.Why don't you kneel me down? Why don't we try, try, try? 'Cause when we come around, That's when I fly."

"Measure by measure, drop by drop And pound for pound, we're taking stock Of all the treasure still unlocked. The love you found must never stop."

"Under blue moon I saw you So soon you'll take me Up in your arms too late to beg you Or cancel it though I know it must be The killing time, Unwillingly mine.Fate Up against your will Through the thick and thin He will wait until You give yourself to him."

"Conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching. Say we can, say we will, Not just another drop in the ocean."

"The sky is blue, My hands untied. A world that's true Through our clean eyes. Just look at you With burning lips. You're living proof At my fingertips."

"Don't say what you mean, You might spoil your face. If you walk in the crowd, You won't leave any trace. It's always the same, You're jumping someone else's train."

"A sense of duty was my one intention And an ugly beauty was my own invention. Pride, a proud refusal. And I refuse to need your approval. Too many seekers, too few beacons, But through the fog we'll keep on beaming.Through the crying hours of your glitter years, All the living out of your tinsel tears. And the midnight trains I never made 'Cause I'd already played the game."

"I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind, But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind.I tried to laugh about it, Cover it all up with lies. I tried to laugh about it, Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry. Boys don't cry."

"It was cheap at half the price, Took a shovel where a spoon would suffice. Now I can't see you. Now I can't see you.Regimental in my way, Detrimental at the end of the day. But you won't be told. No, you won't be told."

"The man at the back has a question, His tongue's involved with solutions. But the monkey on my back Won't stop laughing.Over the wall, Hand in hand. Over the wall, Watch us fall."

"We're taking advantage of, Breaking the back of love. We're taking advantage of, Breaking the back of love.Easier said than done you said, But it's more difficult to say. With eyes bigger than our bellies, We want to but we can't look away. What were you thinking of When you dreamt that up?"

"A longing for Some fresher feeling. Belonging. Or just forever kneeling. Where is the sense in stealing Without the grace to be it.Seven seas, Swimming them so well. Glad to see My face among them Kissing the tortoise shell."

"And I want more than I can get Just trying to, trying to, trying to forget.I'd walk to you through rings of fire And never let you know the way I feel. Under skin is where I hide The love that always gets me on my knees."

"I don't care if Monday's black, Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack. Thursday never looking back, It's Friday, I'm in love."

"And when I see you take the same sweet steps You used to take, I say, "I'll keep on holding you in my arms so tight. I'll never let you slip away.""

"Oh, Elise it doesn't matter what you say, I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out. Every way to smile, forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this, Any more than this."

"You know I even think that she stared like you. She used to just stand there and stare. And roll her eyes right up to heaven, And make like I just wasn't there.And she used to fall down a lot. That girl was always falling, Again and again. And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name."

"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick, The one that makes me scream", she said. "The one that makes me laugh," she said. And threw her arms around my neck. "Show me how you do it, and I promise you, I promise that I'll run away with you. I'll run away with you."

"But if I had your faith Then I could make it safe and clean. Oh, if only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream."

"Say goodbye on a night like this If it's the last thing we ever do. You never looked as lost as this, Sometimes it doesn't even look like you. It goes dark; It goes darker still. Please stay. But I watch you like I'm made of stone As you walk away."

"You're so gorgeous I'll do anything. I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins. You're so perfect, you're so right as rain. You make me, make me, make me, make me hungry again.Everything you do is irresistible. Everything you do is simply kissable. Why can't I be you? (Why can't I be you?)"

"I want to smash you to pieces I want to smash you up and screaming I want to smash you helpless Down on the floor Smash you until you're not here anymore."

"But I never said I would stay to the end. So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency, Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy. Screaming me over and over and over. I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery, Stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery. Songs about happiness murmured in dreams, When we both of us knew how the ending would be."

"Every time we do this, I fall for her. Wave after wave after wave, it's all for her. "I know this can't be wrong", I say. (And I'll lie to keep her happy) As long as I know that you know That today I belong right here with you, Right here with you."

"I don't care if Monday's blue, Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too. Thursday I don't care about you, It's Friday, I'm in love. Monday you can fall apart, Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart. Oh, Thursday doesn't even start, It's Friday, I'm in love.Saturday, wait And Sunday always comes too late. But Friday, never hesitate."

"The innocence of sleeping children. Dressed in white and slowly dreaming. Stops all time. I slow my steps and start to blur. So many years have filled my heart. I never thought I'd say those words.The further we go and older we grow, The more we know the less we show. The further we go and older we grow, The more we know the less we show."

"Can you hear it? The sound of something burning. Something changing On the merry-go-round tonight.The pictures on my wall Are about to swing and fall. Love it all, Love it all."

"You said something will change. We were all dressed up, somewhere to go. No sign of rain, But something will change. You promised.You said nothing will change. We were almost near, almost far. Down came the rain, But nothing will change. You promised."

"You, soft and only. You, lost and lonely. You, strange as angels, Dancing in the deepest oceans, Twisting in the water. You're just like a dream. You're just like a dream."
