Give her a hand 'cos she gave a good show Her makeup was right for the occasion She did what she had to do, she said what she had to say She played her part to perfection She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public She's so empty inside, lies to herself and the public acclaim's not the same such a shame The star of the show she was true to herself and everything went as reported Rumours about herself came along That's when it all got distorted chorus What a good show she gave Happy to go on the stage Was she to know it would change Can she go on feeling strange chorus |

She goes away for a couple of days So you phone a few number you fancy a change You say you'll miss her but deep down inside There are thoughts of another girl waiting somewhere for you She's been away for a couple of days The affairs weren't so good so you're mending your ways You realise that there's nobody else who can do what she does for you You tell yourself don't be a fool Don't let her go chase as hard as you can Or you'll be the loser Swallow your pride you can still be a man She'll never refuse you She deserved to be loved, she wants to love you If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do. Baby I was lonely, still love you only, but I was a bad boy Know you couldn't see me, thought you'd never leave me, so I was bad boy Even though I'm trying, there is no denying I am just a bad boy Met a little baby, thought she was a lady, still I was a bad boy She gives me everything a girl's supposed to do She gives me everything still I can't be true She gives me everything, she gives me everything Going off to different places All I see is different faces I love them all but not like you She deserves to be loved, she wants to love you If you went away you know she'd be true, yes you do. She deserves to be loved - Yes she does, you know she does She deserves to be loved - Even if she goes away She deserves to be loved - No one else can take her place She deserves to be loved - You'll be the loser if you let her go She deserves to be loved - She gives you everything a girl's supposed to do She deserves to be loved - You love them all but she's the one for you She deserves to be loved - Yes she does, you know she does She deserves to be loved - Even if she goes away She deserves to be loved - No one else can take her place |

Well there's them that do and them that don't Them that will and them that won't I've been trying to get you for a long time For a long time When our eyes meet at each different place How I got to know your face Think that I have loved you for a long time For a long time Lady please I'm not a man of many words you see If you lie with me, you won't sleep Lady please if in the future there's some other man I will understand and I won't weep As our bodies fill my lonely room A room that once was filled with gloom Know that I will love you for a long time For a long time For a long time chorus As the morning sun lights up our bed You are there to stroke my head Know I'm going to love you for a long time For a long time Lady please Lady please Lady please |

She looks from side to side The tear drops fill her eyes As once again she hears the sound of shouting turns to the window pane Funny there's rain again Inside her head she hears the sound of shouting They are fighting again All she feels is cold and pain She don't know whose side to take Mother's or Father's She can't know that soon they'll part That they broke each other's heart They are breaking up, but she don't understand it She leaves the room in fright Each time they start to fight She runs up to her bed But there's no sleeping Clings to her teddy bear But even teddy bear can't stop her weeping Little girl dry your eyes Your Ma and Pa one day will put you wise Little girl don't you cry You'll understand what happened by and by verse 2 |

Man in a room, can't you see what you did Pick yourself off the floor, it don't suit you, don't be blind One lonely with four walls closing in It's a room without any door You've been on your own since she told you to go I'm telling you why and what for You're a man without a heart Just a lonely man without a heart Man can't you see what you did to yourself Thinking it was so big at the time I could have told you but I wasn't there You shout her the wrong kind of line chorus Pick yourself off the floor It don't suit you to be in that frame of mind Try to be more like a man with respect Get on the right track, don't be blind chorus verse 2 chorus verse 1 |

Isn't it nice to be someone Someone you've dreamed that you are Isn't it such a nice feeling The feeling you've wished upon a star You have slipped down a rainbow Discovered your own pot of gold You are living your wildest dream Use them you'll never grow old Just like Cinderella But your clock will never strike twelve You have something to envy That everyone wants for themselves You have slipped down a rainbow Discovered your own pot of gold Chasing moonbeams and catching the wind and living stories you've been told verse 2 Isn't it nice to be somewhere In places you've dreamed that you've seen Isn't it such a nice feeling being where you've never been verse 1 |

Just like a top the world goes spinning round Nobody knows what's going on I've found Even from Jerusalem to old Japan Nobody seems to have a definite, definite plan Must be a peaceful way for us to go Even the simplest of man must know The situation's getting worse and worse One day the bubble's gonna burst But don't be frightened lady We will never let them take your boy to war No don't be frightened lady We will never ever go to war no more Why don't they finish it all We are only people and we're terribly small Why don't they finish it all Do they think that people don't mean nothing, nothing at all chorus Students are marching now in every land They won't be shifted just like grains of sand If we don't get together pretty soon We'll do the same thing on the moon |

Perfect lady housewife Her totally detached sepulchre is painted white its gentique suite unscratched A veritable show case It shines like a new pin Everything is in its place And there's a place for everything A, B, C, D. That's the way it's gotta be 1, 2, 3, 4. Count them up and know the score Foot upon the parquet Makes her awfully vexed Onset of vile anarchy Oh Lord, whatever next Messiness is no excuse It's showing no respect Random factor introduced Just goes and spoils the whole effect chorus Efficient official His patience overtaxed Don't these people know that rules Can never be relaxed He could be humanised You would never imagine Everyone is categorised And there's a place for everything chorus |

Oh woman get your head out of curlers,
time to get your butt out of bed! Get down your hats and your baggage my child, going back home - getting back to the homestead. I'm-a gonna heat me some water, put a shine upon my shoes. Telephone my mac keep the room above Joe's, 'cause we're coming back, coming back to the homestead. Ev'rything is packed gettin' back to the homestead. This time, this time we'll stay - baby. I know that we could have made it, we had ideas in our heads. And I wish somehow we could have saved it, but we're Gasoline Alley bred. Yet the years havn't really been wasted, and I know it in my head. We did good for the life that we tasted, 'cause we're Gasoline Alley - Gasoline Alley bred! Woman did you really believe it, I did ev'rything a man could do. Breakin' my back just to make us a dime. That don't mean a thing when noone wants to know you. Oh, woman I know how you're feeling, I've seen the hurt upon your face. How many times do you think that I've cried, knowin' ev'ry day your heart was gettin' broken, holdin' back your pride 'till you were nearly chocking; oooh - let's get away - baby. I know that we could have made it, we had ideas in our heads. And I wish somehow we could have saved it but we're Gasoline Alley bred. Yet the years havn't really been wasted and I know it in my head. we did good for the life that we tasted, 'cause we're Gasoline Alley - Gasoline Alley bred! (Gasoline alley...) Gasoline Alley bred! (Gasoline alley...) Gasoline Alley bred! (Gasoline alley...) Gasoline Alley bred! |

Why, why ignore me And keep me out all of the time Do you think I don't love you It's only in your mind You don't give me your reason You don't explain all your ways It must be the change of the season That's all I can say Was it something that I said That made you stop loving me I only want for the best Not to see you in my life Makes me so unimportant I can't live with myself Gone, gone is tomorrow I'm only living for today I never thought you'd ever leave me Now you have gone away. |

Do you find it hard to tell me To tell that you really love me 'Cos I find it hard to tell you To tell you that I really love you And I know what's in your heart In your mind, in your body, and your soul But it's easy when we whisper Not letting people know. We wanna shout it out loud But we can't let people know We wanna shout it out loud But our love is not for show chorus I've got something you've got nothing a child, a home of my own It's so hard for me to break it I can't break it, I can't make it on my own chorus x2 |

Mad Professor Blyth is working on his pet invention
to dematerialise himself into the fourth dimension He's got his mind set on illusion to find the secrets of diffusion Conclusion: he disappeared Tried it on his cat one grey night when it was foggy Never got it back Oh what happened to his Moggy He's got his mind set on illusion to find the secrets of diffusion Conclusion: he's disappeared All the kids around about his neighbourhood used to laugh at him and call him names Silly old bat freaky four-eyes sort of things they used to shout He can't hear them now He's disappeared Colleagues at the lab they all thought that he was crazy Don't know where he's at His formulas to them are hazy He had his mind set on illusion He found the secrets of diffusion Conclusion: he's disappeared |
