So called Mr Rock And Roll Is dancing on his own again Talking on his phone again To someone who tells him that his balance is low He's got no where to go He's on his own again Rock chick of the century Is acting like she used to be Dancing like there's no one there Before she never seemed to care Now she wouldn't dare It's so rock and roll to be alone And they'll meet one day Far away And say "I wish I was something more" And they'll meet one day Far away And say " I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before" Mrs Black and White She's never seen a shade of grey Always something on her mind Every single day But now she's lost her way And where does she go from here Mr Multicultural Sees all that one can see He's living proof of someone Very different to me But now he wants to be free Free so he can see And they'll meet one day Far away And say "I wish I was something more" And they'll meet one day Far away And say "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before" He says "I wish I knew you, I wish I met you When time was still on my side" She'll say " I wish I knew you, I wish I loved you Before I was his bride" And so they must depart Too many more are broken hearts But I've seen that all before In TV, books and film and more And there's a happy ending Every single day And they'll meet one day Far away And say "I wish I was something more" And they'll meet one day Far away And say "I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before" |

Oh the wind whistles down The cold dark street tonight And the people they were dancing to the music vibe And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair While the shy tormented youth sit way over there And the songs they get louder Each one better than before And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? Where you gonna sleep tonight? So your heading down the road in your taxi for four And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four So you're sitting there with nothing to do Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? And you're singing the songs Thinking this is the life And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? Where you gonna sleep tonight? Where you gonna sleep tonight? |

A poetic genius, Is something I don't see, Why would a genius be trippin on me? And he's looking at me now, Why he can't see is that I'm looking through his eyes, So many lies behind his eyes. And tell me stories from your past, Sing me songs you wrote before. I tell you this my Poison Prince, You'll soon be knocking on Heaven's door. Some kind of Poison Prince, With your eyes in daze. Some kind of Poison Prince, Your life is like a maze. And what we all want and what we all crave, Is an upbeat song So we can dance the night away Oh, who said life was easy, Who said life was fair, Who said nobody gives a damn, And nobody even cares The way you're acting now, Like you left that all behind. You've given up, You've given in, Another sucker of that slime Some kind of Poison Prince, With your eyes in daze. Some kind of Poison Prince, Your life is like a maze. And what we all want and what we all crave, Is an upbeat song So we can dance the night away Some kind of Poison Prince, With your eyes in daze. Some kind of Poison Prince, Your life is like a maze. And what we all want and what we all crave, Is an upbeat song So we can dance the night away |

Maybe, if you were some spear-headed guy, I would listen to what you have to say, But your just some incapable figure thinking your bigger than me, But your not, Yeah, you don't know a thing about the youth of today, Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day. And you say, My children weren't the same, My children's children they're the ones to blame, And you say, In my day we were better behaved, But it's not your day, no more. And we are the youth of today, Change your hair in every way, And we are the youth of today, We'll say what we want to say, And we are the youth of today, Don't care what you have to say at all. And maybe if you had a true point of view I would listen to you, But its just your one sided opinions getting in my way, And you dont no a single thing about the youth of today. Stating your opinion, And making it ring in my head all day, And you say, My children weren't the same, My children's children they're the ones to blame, And you say, In my day we were better behaved, But it's not your day, no more. We are the youth of today, Change your hair in every way, We are the youth of today, We'll say what we want to say, And we are the youth of today, Don't care what you have to say at all. And you say, My children weren't the same, My children's children they're the ones to blame, And you say, In my day we were better behaved, But it's not your day, no more. We are the youth of today, Change your hair in every way, We are the youth of today, We'll say what we want to say, And we are the youth of today, Don't care what you have to say at all |

Will you tell me when your lines are fading? Cos I can't see I can't see no more Will you tell me when the song stops playing? Cos I can't hear I can't hear no more She said "I don't know what you're living for" She said "I don't know what you're living for at all" He said "I don't know what you're living for" He said "I don't know what you're living for at all" But I will run until my feet no longer run no more And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more And I will love until my heart it aches And I will love until my heart it breaks And I will love until there's nothing more to live for Will you tell me when the fighting's over? Cos I can't take I can't take no more Will you tell me the day is done? Cos I can't run I can't run no more She said "I don't know what you did it for" She said "I don't know what you did it for at all" He said "I don't know what you did it for" He said "I don't know what you did it for at all" But I will run until my feet no longer run no more And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more And I will love until my heart it aches And I will love until my heart it breaks And I will love until there's nothing more to live for And I will love until my heart it aches And I will love until my heart it breaks And I will love until there's nothing more to live for |

Put a ribbon round my neck and call me a libertine
I will sing you songs of dreams I used to dream I will sail away on seas of silver and gold Until I reach my home Give me a guitar and I'll be a troubadur Your strolling minstrel twelfth century door to door I don't know anymore if that feeling is past Will it last? Oh how can you be sure? And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me? And how do I know that that's the only place you want to be? Give me a stage and I'll be a rock and roll queen Your 20th century cover of a magazine Rolling Stone here I come Watch out everyone I'm singing, I'm singing my song Give me a festival and I'll be Glastonbury star The lights are shining, everyone knows who you are Singing songs about dreams, about homes, about schemes Oooh they just came true And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me? And how do I know that that's the only place you want to be? And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me? And how do I know that that's the only place you want to be? And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do Lets start a band Lets start a band Lets start a band Lets start a band And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do Lets start a band Lets start a band Lets start a band Lets start a band And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do Lets start a band Lets start a band Lets start a band Lets start a band And if you want it too, then there's nothing left to do |

Oh the lights outside they're as bright as the sun They're much brighter than anyone Oh the girls in the queue yes they're waiting for you Well they're waiting for their song to be sung And when the night turns to day and all the people go away it's not the same Tell me who's to blame And when the stars shine so bright on a cold December night I wish that I was on the stage Oh won't you take a ride with me through the barrowland, our history, and I'll sing you a song or two People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care It's only me and you And they'll drink and dance and drugs you know it's all part of the show We're going to maybe have to tell you The people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care Tonight, it's only me and you Oh nothing beats the feeling of the high Barrowland ceiling When the band starts to play Won't you buy me a drink and I'll tell her what I think If she gets in my way And when the night turns to day and all the people go away it's not the same Tell me who's to blame And when the stars shine so bright on a cold December night I wish that I was on the stage Oh won't you take a ride with me through the barrowland, our history, and I'll sing you a song or two People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care It's only me and you And they'll drink and dance and drugs you know it's all part of the show Were going to to maybe have to tell you That people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care Tonight, it's only me and you And when the night turns to day and the lights they fade away (I wish that life and love would pass me by) And when the band stops a song because there's something going on (Well there is magic in the air I swear) And I wish that I saw Bowie playing on that stage I wish that I saw something to make me come of age Oh won't you take a ride with me through the barrowland, our history, and I'll sing you a song or two People they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care It's only me and you, and knew And they'll drink and dance and drugs you know it's all part of the show We're going to maybe have to tell you That people they may stop and stare but baby I just don't care Tonight, it's only me and you |

Oh the sun is shining far too bright For it to still be night Oh the air feels so cold, so cold and old How can it be light? Oh, let's take a walk outside See the world through each other's eyes I wish I was your only one I think you're beautiful but your hair is a mess And your shoes are untied, but that's what I love best And I, I wish I was the one, You lonely lonely son and you looked at me that way I wish for long lingering glances Fairytale romances every single day And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day But I wish for something, wish for something more Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend How I wish for something, wish for something more Now the grass is so green, but I can't see anything past your eyes I'm fixated on your smile Your cherry lips make life worthwhile I'm thinking these things that I'm trying to say This life gets in my way every single day And I, I wish I was the one, You lonely lonely son and you looked at me that way I wish for long lingering glances Fairytale romances every single day And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day But I wish for something, wish for something more Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend How I wish for something, wish for something more Now the sun is fading Now the rain is coming down And I'm looking at your face And you're looking at the ground I see diamonds in your dreams I see pearls around your neck I see everything that's beautiful Oh everything that's beautiful And I, I wish I was the one, You lonely lonely son and you looked at me that way I wish for long lingering glances Fairytale romances every single day And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day But I wish for something, wish for something more Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend How I wish for something, wish for something more |

Oh Mr James Dean, he don't belong to anything
Oh he left before they could get him With their ways, their wicked ways Oh Marilyn Monroe, where did you go? I didn't hear all your stories I didn't see all your glory But the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife I just don't care in the end Who is she to pretend That she's one of them? I don't think so And the girl from that show Yes the one we all know She thinks she's some kinda star Yes you know who you are I don't think so, I don't think so Oh Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire Won't you dance for me cos I just don't care What's going on today I think there's something more, something more And I'm gone with the wind like they were before But I'm believing myself I think there's something more There must be something more I think there's something more, something more But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife I just don't care in the end Who is she to pretend That she's one of them? I don't think so And the girl from that show Yes the one we all know She thinks she's some kinda star Yes you know who you are I don't think so, I don't think so Oh I don't believe in the telling of your stories Throughout your life, there's just something unappealing It don't catch my eye It don't catch my eye Oh I don't believe in the selling of your glories Before you leave this life, there's so much more to see I don't believe this is how the world should be But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife I just don't care in the end Who is she to pretend That she's one of them? I don't think so And the girl from that show Yes the one we all know She thinks she's some kinda star Yes you know who you are I don't think so, I don't think so The footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife I just don't care in the end Who is she to pretend That she's one of them? |
