Now ?
The mist across the window hides the lines But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine Electricity so fine Look and dry your eyes We ? So tired of all the darkness in our lives With no more angry words to say can come alive Get into a car and drive To the other side Me babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light You babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light We ? Are young but getting old before our time We'll leave the T.V. and the radio behind Don't you wonder what we'll find Steppin' out tonight? You ? Can dress in pink and blue just like a child And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile We'll be there in just a while If you follow me Me babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light You babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light Me babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light You babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light Me babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light |

Don't let her down
Just 'cause you could before She stole the crown You don't rule anymore Oh no - take it like she did before Oh no - take it like a man Strong sexy smart Slim sassy super-cool She gets the parts You get to play the cool Mean drunk or dumb We're not casting boys today Braveheart or bum Who needs you anyway Oh no - take it like she did before Oh no - take it like a man Don't feel so down You'll find some job to do Gangsta or clown She'll keep a place for you You feel her touch Fingers like icicles She needs you so much Like fish need bicycles Oh no - take it like she did before Oh no - take it like a man |

I should have known you were only just fifteen
You had a scowl like a Klingon beauty queen Old enough to stand out but too young to stand with pride So uncomfortable in your messed-up skin And the cool parties never let you in I can still relate to being left so high and dry Don't cry You're just at an awkward age We'll all be fine Disgraceful under pressure Don't tow the line You're just at an awkward age Don't cry - Just at an awkward age Don't cry You're just at an awkward... You look at me like I know what's going on I'm looking back and I wonder what went wrong I really thought by now a few things might just clarify I got a mind that goes out to lunch for days And a body that sometimes disobeys I get into the parties but I hate them 'cause I'm shy Oh my I'm still at an awkward age We'll all be fine Disgraceful under pressure Don't tow the line You're just at an awkward age Don't cry - Just at an awkward age Don't cry You're just at an awkward... We're supposed to be happy Supposed to be tough Supposed to be flawless And buy the right stuff They want us all swimming Don't care if we drown So don't let them take you down It's a scary mountain to climb up without a guide Besides ... We live in an awkward age We'll all be fine Disgraceful under pressure Don't tow the line You're just at an awkward age Don't cry - Just at an awkward age Don't cry You're just at an awkward... age |

Stop - what's that sound
It's the death rattle of this rusty old town Stop - listen again It's the sound of laughter all along the Thames Hey - what's my line Do I have to stay here 'til the end of time I'm - good lookin' and bright I wanna see life after ten at night So if they ask you where I am I'm in the back of a Transit Van In a squat on the Earls Court Road Gone down to London turning coal into gold Down to London - Down to London Gone down to London to be the King Hey - what's your name The boys back home all seem to look the same You - should stick with me and one of us will make it, just you see Stop - what's that sound Seems like the sixties are still swingin' around Hey - can you hear me back there or is there anybody left to care So if you ask me where they are They're hanging tough in a Soho bar Playing guitars in the Underground Gone down to London tryin' to chase that sound Down to London - Down to London Gone down to London to be the King So I ask you should I cry or laugh Drinking tea in a Kings Cross Caff A leather jacket against the cold Gone down to London turning coal into gold Down to London - Down to London Gone down to London to be the King |

Kids today - they're all the same All call themselves - some crazy name Monks and Rockers and Beatle freaks Punks and Skunks and Kooks and Geeks Look in a mirror but you can't see your face Look in a mirror but you can't see your face All those drugs - they can't be sane All that noise - affects their brains Sniffin' pot - smoking glue Whatever terrible things they do Smokin' LSD and such It must be the reason why they can't talk much And it's such a crime How they waste their time They can't get nowhere They've all gone Beat Crazy Beat Crazy! They say the world - is in a mess But they can talk - the way they dress See the knee through the hole in their jeans A hole in their pocket and it looks so mean Hole in the T Shirt - what's that you said? You're about as clever as a hole in the head Can't get no jobs - can't get careers With safety pins - stuck through their ears Cut your hair - dye it green See it shine - with Brylcreem A little dabble here - a little dab a day Or rub a dub it in a dreadlocks way And it's such a crime How they waste their time They can't get nowhere They've all gone Beat Crazy Beat Crazy! And if the Russians ever come They'll all be beating bongo drums Damn - beatniks rule! Dropped out of kindergarten Dropped out of school Really hot on my bongo drums Really hot on my bongo drums So who'll defend - in World War III Where could we turn - where would they be Tell her! Down the cellar - filled with smoke Laughing at the latest joke Doing the latest dance to do The Fug and the Sheeny and the Suzi Q And it's such a crime How they waste their time They can't get nowhere They've all gone Beat Crazy Look in a mirror but you can't see your face Beat Crazy! |

It's the crack of noon
And I sit here watching you sleeping I only wish that I could remember your name But I know it's written on a matchbook somewhere So maybe I'll find it, and maybe you'll care Or maybe you'll fix me with one of those stares And put up a fight So when you awake I admit I'm relieved As you flash me a smile like a diamond And just for a moment I almost believe In love at first light I propose a breakfast of coffee and aspirin You laugh, suggesting a raw egg or two But oh was it ever so good being bad Like a couple of vampires, deliciously mad Saying this is the best blood that we've ever had So we drank it all night And if we untangle the webs that we weave Then maybe there's room for more laughter 'Cause just for a moment I almost believe In love at first light Feeling cold You put a robe round my shoulders Smile and pull one of your favourite books from my shelf Let's open the curtains and let out the dark And if the sun doesn't melt us and there's still a spark And we do something human like walk in the park The spark could ignite So maybe I'm moonstruck, or maybe naive But I know there's a God and a Devil So maybe I'm crazy enough to believe In love at first light |

Here
See the little queer There's a volunteer Don't you think that he should get haircut Now Like in the Marines All the magazines Got a way for everyone to shape up You don't wanna fall behind Choking on a cloud of fairy dust - fairy dust Now it's only greed and lust And pride and lust And a few other sins No See the cherry lips Hands on the hips Anyone would think your name was Oscar Wilde Think you're pretty smart Poetry and art Put him on testosterone and vodka Calling for the man of steel To blow you faggots into fairy dust - fairy dust Now it's only greed and lust And pride and lust And a few other sins We're Happy to be gay Showing you the way Gotta get your head your heart your torso Hard Join another gym Lose your pseudonym Soon we'll all be straight but only more so Tell me who you're gonna find To sprinkle on a little fairy dust - fairy dust Now it's only greed and lust And pride and lust And a few other sins |
