It'll never happen until you remove
Until you flatten your 10-20-30-40-15 storey halo Bottle blondes and beach boys Might marvel at the size But honey something that big You now the best don't advertise Has no-one ever told you You gotta body build to last? But with that 15 storey deadstop You're going nowhere, and fast 10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo! 10-20-30-40! 15 storeys high! 10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo 10-20-30-40? 7 miles wide 7 miles wide! "Ask a judge and jury Joe find me 12 just men We're gonna bottle up their fury Make sure don't happen again" All the rebel boys got payrolled Now they're queuing outside the bank Like 14 carat playboys On a trans-cool trans-world tramp 10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo! 10-20-30-40! 15 storeys high! 10-20-30-40! 15 storey halo 10-20-30-40? 7 miles wide 7 miles wide! And so you meet this guy A regular gala-had A real house-trained barbarian And so you drop him Like a bad habit But anything that comes along You grab it Oh we're all waiting For a saving grace Hands that soothe Hands that smoothe the human race Yes we're all waiting For a saving grace Hands that soothe Hands that smoothe the human race |

Sun beats hard
On Sunset Boulevard Much harder still In Notting Hill A northwind blows And carries me home Carries my heart, carries my soul When cool silks they turn to suede When young dreams are torn and frayed The South feels so cold and grey Today! Today the North's too many miles away Today! Today I got to get away I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged It's all gone silent The light begins to fade One man unplugs The penny arcade And carries me home Carries my heart, carries my soul I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged One sweet bouquet The flowers strewn The petals scattered Here in the North No dreams are shattered I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged No we don't feel angry No we don't feel betrayed Unlike our fathers We don't remember better days No we don't feel angry No we don't feel betrayed We just live In this day and age |

Well you took me home
And you took me back But deep down inside The feeling just died and I... Couldn't see why From indigo to royal blue I travel far but no one will do Anytime, anyplace Every shape every face brings... Memories of you Blue to be blue To be blue Ocean blue Fair weather friends might drift away When summer ends and skies burn grey So I walk to the ocean - Pilot these shores. Just... Thinking of you It's time we kissed the clouds goodbye From now on in, it's strictly blue sky Come rain and shine The outlook is still fine... I'm Thinking of you Blue to be blue To be blue Ocean blue I stand at the head of the queue There's mutiny's every crew Wishin' and wonderin' 'bout you - Ocean blue |

"Can you keep a secret?" Would you know just what to do Or where to keep it? Then I say, "I love you" And foul the situation Hey, girl, I thought we were The right combination Who broke my heart? You did, you did Bow to the target Blame Cupid, Cupid You think you're smart Stupid, stupid Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow No rhythm in cymbals No tempo in drums Love on arrival She comes when she comes Right on the target But wide of the mark What I thought was fire Was only the spark The sweetest melody Is an unheard refrain So lower your sights Yeah but raise your aim Raise your aim Who broke my heart? You did, you did Bow to the target Blame Cupid, Cupid You think you're smart Stupid, stupid Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow I thought you loved me But it seems you don't care I care enough to know I can never love you Who broke my heart? You did, you did Bow to the target Blame Cupid You think you're smart That's stupid Right from the start When you knew we would part Shoot that poison arrow to my heart Shoot that poison arrow |

Was it rage or regret
Or the love I was feeling In this age - who's perfect... are you? Wasn't made to forget This moment worth stealing Was it rage or regret or the two Every morning when I wake up Wake up dreaming then... wake up dreaming Build a temple from you fragrance Build a chapel in your heart Do you really understand Do you feel the need to try Do you even care for me Do you ever wonder why Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret Through the violence the angry silence Does our love grow strong or die A parachute or a pilot's licence Do we fall in love or fly Do you really understand Do you feel the need to try Do you even care for me Do you ever wonder why Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret The harder we come The harder we fall The harder it is to stand tall The more that we fight The more that we brawl The more we're alike - that's all... that's all Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get There are things you don't forget Anger cools to idle threats |

When your world is full of strange arrangements
And gravity won't pull you through You know you're missing out on something Well that something depends on you All I'm saying, it takes a lot to love you All I'm doing, you know it's true All I mean now, there's one thing Yes one thing that turns this grey sky to blue That's the look, that's the look The look of love When your girl has left you out on the pavement (Goodbye) Then your dreams fall apart at the seams Your reason for living's your reason for leaving Don't ask me what it means Who's got the look? I don't know the answer to that question Where's the look? If I knew I would tell you What's the look? Look for your information Yes there's one thing, the one thing that still holds true (What's that?) That's the look, that's the look The look of love If you judge a book by the cover Then you'd judge the look by the lover I hope you'll soon recover Me I go from one extreme to another And though my friends just might ask me They say "Martin maybe one day you'll find true love" I say "Maybe, there must be a solution To the one thing, the one thing, we can't find" That's the look, that's the look The look of love That's the look, that's the look The look of love That's the look, that's the look The Look of love |

From an early age
I was taught to respect That a broken heart girl Ain't a thing you collect Close your eyes and say Nothing lasts a day You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you Close your eyes and say Honour love obey You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you. It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love. January...February...March and April May June July sees you go by I see love walk away. Didn't use a blade... A bullet or a gun You poisoned the moonlight When you put out the Sun It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love |

When the postman don't call on Valentine's day

So ask me, I already know When they find you beached on the barrier reef When the postman don't call on Valentine's Day When the only pleasure treasured is in map relief When you don't tell the truth, that's the price you pay When I'm shaking a hand, I'm clenching a fist If you gave me a pound for the moments I missed And I got dancing lessons for all the lips I shoulda kissed I'd be a millionaire I'd be a Fred Astaire |

Hold a candle to a naked flame
Ask the atheist his Christian name Try parachuting from a burning plane Finding someone else you could blame If I ever thought you'd be lonely If I ever thought you'd be there If I ever fought the alimony Painted pony You'd be there Eskimo heart Bedouin throat A butcher trussed up in a camel hair coat A crowning in the castle A drowning in the moat Ocean dried Desert afloat If I ever thought you'd be lonely If I ever thought you'd be there If I ever fought the alimony My one and only You'd be there One for the lady One for the gent Signatures in wet cement And if you ever ask What I meant then I'd never know Then I'd never know... |

Not what you are,
But what you've earned Where jack-queen-king Money's concerned A friend in need is a friend in debt That kinda friend king money can forget. May those that are full get struck dumb When they tell the hungry of the good times To come, More money than sense in their defence And cheaper jokes at our expense So if your king is money Then I feel sorry for you And if you think that it's funny Then maybe you do... Maybe you do king money King money, king money The midas touch doesn't mean That much until you're crippled with greed, Using gold as a crutch or half a man For half a crown for half a kingdom For half a town No geldt-in-my-pelt-jack, No cash in my shack so tell me the things That you think I lack Just what kinda price are you willing to pay For a holiday from the royal tourniquet So if your king is money Then I feel sorry for you And if you think that it's funny Then maybe you do... Maybe you do king money King money, king money Standing by the xerox machine I want to duplicate some money Build a fortune up in black and white But I'll need a master copy. You're gonna give your love to me Shake an apple off the apple tree When she moves it's poetry Come to me now, one, two, three King ka King ka King king money Plan the perfect double murder Maybe win the pools when I get some money Honey, I'll be knee high in consumer Durables Adorables... |

Love's a dangerous language
Survey the damage See what love has done Oh, my precious darling my sacred angel Look what we've done Oh, you're scared and frightened Don't be afraid yes We'll take your problem wheel Drive it slowly to a shallow grave So in those special moments That might make you think you were happy then Moving blue through pink but you're happy now And you think you'll sink The buckle is tied for a white knuckle ride When the buckle is tied Then the judgements denied Oh, my own she vixen we're sworn to secrecy, this crime is ours Yeah, so quench your thirst And when I'm hungry I'll eat my words So in those special moments That might make you think you're happy now Moving blue through pink you were happy then But you think you'll sink The buckle is tied for a white knuckle ride When the buckle is tied, Then the judgements denied wherever we go Wherever we hide In the white of your eyes I see the feelings just died |

Loop the loop, Hock the hula-hoop, But now it yo-yo'd back again Shiver me timbers, Just jumped ship with a little faith We could win the championship Parachute substitute, problem is it's soooo cute Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt Outta house, outta home, outta pocket They persuade you, That they made you then betrayed you And they blame you with the power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion You bought the troll, You bought the gonk, You took it home, and put it on a pedestal We needed a saviour, But from it's behaviour Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial? Tax deductible. cash corruptible, Never the less another poolswinner Penniless dog tooth check, Cash and carry find a girl, Settle down and marry They persuade you, That they made you The proclaim, And they'll maim you with the power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion The power of persuasion I sold the eskimo snow Build the skyline outta playdo Persuading you that monochrome is dayglo With the power of persuasion |

There's a gang I've just joined
There's a gang I've just joined Three million strong you'd agree Four million strong you'd agree Enrollment was easy, so easy Getting out proves to be the difficulty From land's end to john o'groats From land's end to john o'groats They are making ends meet Mending holes in their coat Fasting and feasting on bread and margarine Burning dreams build upon buried hopes United kingdom - you'd better ring them You've a solution - you better bring them United kingdom - united kingdom You've a solution - you better bring them Opportunity, I guess they all came and went Finding it hard Finding the rent you'll find it funny With your finger running down Situations vacant In school he was an athlete Now he's not so self-assured "after all of these o-levels is this my reward? " There's a silent majority, that's seen and Never heard from charles i, charles ii To charles iii United kingdom - you'd better ring them You've a solution - you better bring them United kingdom - united kingdom This busted, rusted, upper-crusted Bankrupted done and dusted No-man-to-be-trusted united kingdom Proud to stand beneath the union jack? Happy dealing up a no ace pack? Polishing black boots Priming the riot squad There go I but for the grace of god Covering up the agony with mindless entertainment You'll be happy when they're ripping up the pavement Bringing down the axe on steelworks and foundries Someone said love knows no boundaries Close your eyes and think of england Lie back and think of her United kingdom - you better ring them You've a solution - you better bring them |

I had dreams and crazy schemes
Never felt this way before I had days when I god raged Never felt like this before Endless nights that end in flights Now I feel love Never. Never. Never more than now Never. Never. Never more than now Never more than now Paralysed by vicious lies Never felt this way before Seen hope die and grown men cry Never felt like this before Shed lonely tears and heartfelt fears Now I feel love Never. Never. Never more than now Never. Never. Never more than now A thing of beauty Lasts forever Stretches through all time Every endeavour No matter how hard They might try To build you up And to bleed you dry Never lose love. Never Never lose love. Never Ever, ever, ever Never. Never. Never more than now Never. Never. Never more than now |

Sun beats hard
On Sunset Boulevard Much harder still In Notting Hill A northwind blows And carries me home Carries my heart, carries my soul When cool silks they turn to suede When young dreams are torn and frayed The South feels so cold and grey Today! Today the North's too many miles away Today! Today I got to get away I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged It's all gone silent The light begins to fade One man unplugs The penny arcade And carries me home Carries my heart, carries my soul I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged One sweet bouquet The flowers strewn The petals scattered Here in the North No dreams are shattered I'm driving north I'm heading home I'm driving back To the place I once belonged No we don't feel angry No we don't feel betrayed Unlike our fathers We don't remember better days No we don't feel angry No we don't feel betrayed We just live In this day and age |

Where the hell is the heaven? That you're so proud of Prestige it sits high On mammons alter Porsche hungry pinheads On champagne and oysters Head full of hollow thoughts Handful of sushi Plug into dallas babe Plug into dynasty So where is the heaven And where is there love?

One day you'll realise Feel me materialise You'll see you're just a fool to leave me One day... one day... one day soon baby Hardly a day goes by without me thinking of you No matter how hard I try you can't escape a dream Living my life - in the lap of luxury Living my life - confuse me... confuse me babee One day you'll realise You'll see it on her eyes No room for compromise - one day... one day... One day you'll realise Feel me materialise You'll see you're just a fool to leave me You can't shake a dream - how I wish that you could One day you're mine get that understood Until then each night I shall pray For a love that lasts forever and...

Was it rage or regret
Or the love I was feeling In this age - who's perfect... are you? Wasn't made to forget This moment worth stealing Was it rage or regret or the two Every morning when I wake up Wake up dreaming then... wake up dreaming Build a temple from you fragrance Build a chapel in your heart Do you really understand Do you feel the need to try Do you even care for me Do you ever wonder why Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret Through the violence the angry silence Does our love grow strong or die A parachute or a pilot's licence Do we fall in love or fly Do you really understand Do you feel the need to try Do you even care for me Do you ever wonder why Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret The harder we come The harder we fall The harder it is to stand tall The more that we fight The more that we brawl The more we're alike - that's all... that's all Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get There are things you don't forget Anger cools to idle threats |

Once upon a time when we were friends
I gave you my heart the story ends No happy ever after now we're friends Wish upon a star if that might help The stars collide if you decide Wish upon a star if that might help What's it like to have loved and to lose her touch What's it like to have loved and to lose that much Well I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll walk in the room with my heart Add and subtract but as a matter of fact Now that you're gone I still want you back Remembering Surrendering Remembering that part All of my heart Spilling up in silk and coffee lace You hook me up a rendez-vous at your place Your lipstick and your lipgloss seals my fate Sentimental powers might help you now But skip the hearts and flowers skip the ivory towers You'll be disappointed and I'll lose a friend No I won't be told there's a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow Or that pleasure and pain sunshine and rain might make this love grow But I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll walk in the room with my heart Add and subtract but as a matter of fact Now that you're gone I still want you back Remembering Surrendering Remembering that part All of my heart Yes I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll walk in the room with my heart And I shrug and I say that maybe today You'll come home soon Surrendering Remembering Surrendering that heart All of my heart |

Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it Say mr. whispers! Here come the click of dice Roulette and blackjacks - gonna build us a paradise Larger than life and twice as ugly If we have to live there, you'll have to drug me Maybe these luxuries can only compensate For all the cards you were dealt at the hands of fate So tell me Tell me! tell me! How to be a millionaire Tell me! tell me! How to be a millionaire! Millionaire! Billionaire! Trillionaire! Hardly surprising if you might consider Loyalties go to the highest of bidders What's my opinion? I'd give you ten to one Give me a million, a franchise on fun But there are millions who often get nowhere And there's just one secret I think you should share Maybe these luxuries can only compensate For all the cards you were dealt at the hands of fate So tell me Tell me! tell me! How to be a millionaire Tell me! tell me! How to be a millionaire! Who wants to be millionaire? I do! - I don't! - I do! Who wants to be millionaire? I do! - I don't!

And you took me back But deep down inside The feeling just died and I... Couldn't see why From indigo to royal blue I travel far but no one will do Anytime, anyplace Every shape every face brings... Memories of you Blue to be blue To be blue Ocean blue Fair weather friends might drift away When summer ends and skies burn grey So I walk to the ocean - Pilot these shores. Just... Thinking of you It's time we kissed the clouds goodbye From now on in, it's strictly blue sky Come rain and shine The outlook is still fine... I'm Thinking of you Blue to be blue To be blue Ocean blue I stand at the head of the queue There's mutiny's every crew Wishin' and wonderin' 'bout you - Ocean blue |
