DAVE
What am I now? Another boy becoming man who wants to change who's not afraid I've had to run from boring streets and bitter priests from smoking gun and stern parade For when you're living on your own without a girlfriend or a home people speculate but I'm much stronger than them I want to be something special I want to be something special Now I play the London game A hand-to-mouth existence 'til someone calls my name I want it now My chance has come and I will grab it just to change the way I am I understand the plans you make the risks you take the way you can when you're a man And if I sometimes have to do the things I've always wanted to I won't shy away Because I'm much harder than that I want to be something special I want to be something special Now I play the London game A hand-to-mouth existence 'til someone calls my name I want to be something special I want to be something special |

Father: In denial, no my life's a trial I'm not denying that every little bit hurts It's a problem that I'm not solving Don't mind admitting I feel like quitting this job for a while, getting away before it gets any worse today Daughter: You're in denial and that is final You're not admitting you should be quitting all these queens and fairies and muscle Marys the rough trade boyfriend who in his pathetic own way denies he's gay Why can't you see? This is a fantasy world Father: Think I'm going mad How d'you know if you're going mad? Daughter: Look at me I'm lonely Father: Look at me I'm sad I'm not denying I could be trying a little harder to deal with some of this stuff Daughter: Know what I'm thinking? Less drugs and drinking No cigarettes and you'd feel a little less rough Father: Is that enough? My life is absurd, I'm living it upside down like a vampire, working at night, sleeping all day A dad with a girl who knows he's gay Both: Can you love me anyway? |

BOB:
I have to admit I'm an absolute shit But at least you can't call me a hypocrite I don't want fame or the critics' acclaim Take it from me that's a pointless game I've got a minder a chauffeur, a flunkey 'cause I’m the organ-grinder not the monkey Call me old-fashioned At least I know what I like Call me old-fashioned If you're so wet Why don't you get on your bike? Call me old-fashioned At least I'm moving ahead Call me old-fashioned If I can't charm you I'll just strong-arm you to bed The moment I see you with your trousers dropped Will be as rewarding as just having shopped All of the names that I've spent years collecting They're the only things that are worth respecting Prada and Porsche and Philippe Starck The only little problem is where to park Call me old-fashioned You're all so quick to condemn Call me old-fashioned Until you learn How much I earn and I spend Call me old-fashioned and I've been called worse than muck Call me old-fashioned but understand What I've got planned won't be luck Sex is fun and sex sells, honey A shiny dream to make me money Where the sea is blue, the sky is sunny Love is hot and suprisingly Old-fashioned I'll make love down the phone Call me tomorrow I'll give you breaks I'll be as long as it takes to your home Call me old-fashioned At least I'm moving ahead Call me old-fashioned If I can't charm you I'll just strong-arm you to bed Where you can be old-fashioned with me |

BILLIE
An inspirational tirade against me How to explain my life? Girls to the left of me boys to the right of me neither husband nor wife Though the days are filled with pain there is no one who'll explain why I'm coming under friendly fire shot in the fatal cause of rock-and-roll but there's no-one, really no-one, to say: Why I endure under force majeure slandered without shame or tact I who studied make-up, mime and Buddha who taught two generations to react About me the critics lied I ignored them and survived in spite of coming under friendly fire shot in the fatal cause of rock-and-roll But there's nothing, really nothing, to deny When I look back my eyes are filled with tears Danger to mascara, applause to my peers When fame sustained me and arenas acclaimed me I floated through life on a cloud of love and insanity and pagan profanity before a worshipping crowd Now my status is ill-defined As an icon I'm inclined to be coming under friendly fire shot in the fatal cause of rock-and-roll but whatever dull or clever points they've scored I have never, oh no never, been ignored |

There are people who think I lead
A kind of charmed life With everything I need No pain or strife If only they knew The absolute truth The secrecy and lies The bitter tears I've cried The days when I can't hide From hopelessness inside The mad humiliation Of knowing what you've done In a sad infatuation That went on far too long After all that we've been through Only tears can tell the truth I'm not crying just for you I'm crying for me For those who came between I'm crying for all of us For the lack of communication Secrets shared no longer For my weak intimidation When I should have been much stronger For the jealousy and shame That you were someone's plaything For that love that survived the pain in spite of everything After all that we've been through Only tears can tell the truth I'm not crying just for you I'm crying for me For this whole wretched scene I'm crying for all of us For the impossibility Of love in world where sex Is a cruel competitive sport For the love that sex rejects For the ripples spreading wider For the friendships destroyed By suspicions and fighting And the cover-ups imp0lied After all that we've been through Only tears can tell the truth I'm not crying just for you I'm crying for me For those who came between I'm crying for you For me For what might have been For you And me Baby for all of us For all of us |

Here we are
where we were back on everything Went too far now we're fine back on everything So much for making it day by day Back on everything Instead of taking another way we're back on everything I want a positive role model I want a positive role model My reflection on the street Is that the way I walk? Introspection as I speak I need to change the way I talk In a changing world there's so much you could be Why can't you choose your self like your enemy? Have you ever imagined a new you? I could be someone else Somebody new Reinvention: my intention I want a positive role model I want a positive role model I want a positive role model I want a positive role model |
