You tell me you married an angel
She's made heaven out of your home You say there couldn't be rainbows in heaven 'Cause she's brought you happiness that you've never known You may hate me for what I've to tell you But you'll thank me for setting you right While you work to keep angels in heaven Your angel steps out of heaven each night Her heaven's not the same as you're living in It's any place where there's music and a free drink from him So call her your angel, I won't say you're not right But your angel steps out of heaven each night |

You turned to me
And all at once I knew I was betrayed My eyes met yours just down the darkened path Where both of us had strayed Nothing good can come out of this I know it may not be But just then you turned to me And I thought for a moment Like the fool that I've become I might be the one To turn these lights back on Just as I began to say It's never worth the price you pay I was going there anyway You turned to me And all at once I knew that you had seen How I was lost in something quite like love When all I did was dream Now as evening becomes the dawn I wonder where you'll be And just why you turned to me" |

There is a place
Underneath the staircase Where I keep the evidence Of what once would offer peace In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride Should I pick the locks? Should I peek inside? Can I stand the sight of those happy days? Should I strike a match, burn them all away? Cos you stole my bell And you broke my chime And the clock spins round but it won't keep time There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you (x2) So here we are But it's not quite like we thought Those things were priceless then Now I know they can't be bought In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin Should I lift the lid? Should I look within? Was it my last chance or my first mistake? Is it just a step that we'll never take? Cos you stole my bell And you broke my chime And the clock spins round but it won't keep time There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you (x3) |

See how the elements obey?
Eyes are blue Skies are grey Nothing I do can make you stay I'm glad it will rain today You left me standing alone Although I thought that we could not be parted But if I'd only known That this would be the last loving remark You left me in the dark Then I awoke to my dismay I thought we'd make it all the way Allowing myself one more cliché The last hurrah, the first bouquet You left me standing alone although I thought that we could not be parted But if I'd only known That this would be the last loving remark You left me in the dark" |

The homecoming fanfare is echoing still
Now tapping on tables and sensing a chill Poor families expecting a loved one's return Only son and some charlatan specter, oh, when will they learn? You hung the moon from a gallows in the sky Choked out the light in his blue lunar eye The shore is a parchment, the sea has no tide Since he was taken from my side The lines of the fallen are viewed through the glass You cannot touch them at all Or hear their footfall just as they go past The drunken ground is where they are bound You hung the moon from a gallows in the sky Choked out the light in his blue lunar eye The shore is a parchment, the sea has no tide Since he was taken from my side So slap out his terrors and sneer at his tears We deal with deserters like this From the breech to the barrel, the bead we will level Break earth with a shovel, quick march on the double And lower him shallow like tallow down in the abyss You hung the moon from a gallows in the sky Choked out the light in his blue lunar eye The shore is a parchment, the sea has no tide Since he was taken from my side Since he was taken from my side The homecoming fanfare is echoing still |

Why don't you love me like you used to do?
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe? My hair is still curly and my eyes are still blue Why don't you love me like you used to do? Ain't had no lovin' like a-huggin' and a-kissin' in a long, long while We don't get nearer, further, closer than a country mile Why don't you be the sort you used to be? How come you find so many faults with me? I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through Why don't you love me like you used to do? Ain't had no lovin' like a-huggin' and a-kissin' in a long, long while We don't get nearer, further, closer than a country mile Why don't you spark me like you used to do? Say sweet nothings like you used to coo Somebody's changed, so let me give you a clue Why don't you love me like you used to do? |

All the words you say to me
Have music in them All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism And a selfish boy looks through a prism And says what is But never asks what isn't But a voice contains many precious things It laughs And then it sings And all the lies that we can tell To our foolish selves Maybe this is the love song that I refused to Write her when I loved her like I used to And I fear my heart may spin and fracture Like tears of stone falling from a statue But a voice contains all that's true and false Then cries for someone else And for some honest tenderness So I must confess All the words you say to me Have music in them All the sorrows and the joys like magnetism And a selfish boy looks through a prism And says what is But never asks what isn't" |

I exit through the spotlight glare I stepped out into thin air Into a perfume so rarefied "Here comes the bride" Not quite aside, they snide "She's number four" "There's number three just by the door" Those in the know, don't even flatter her, They go one better "She was selling speedboats in a tradeshow when he met her" Look at her now She's starting to yawn She looks like she was born to it But it was so much easier When I was cruel She reaches out her arms to me Imploring: "Another melody?" So she can dance her husband out on the floor The captains of industry just lie there where they fall In eau-de-nil and pale carnation creation A satin sash and velvet elevation She straightens the tipsy head-dress of her spouse While her recalls a honey house There'll be no sorrows left to drown Early in the morning in your evening gown But it was so much easier When I was cruel The entrance hall was arranged with hostesses and ushers Who turned out to be the younger wives nursing schoolgirl crushes Parting the waves of those few feint friends Fingers once offered are now too heavy to extend The ghostly first wife glides up stage whispering to raucous talkers Spilling family secrets out to flunkeys and castrato walkers See that girl Watch that scene Digging the "Dancing Queen" Two newspaper editors like playground sneaks Running the book on which of them is going to last the week One of them calls to me And he says, "I know you" "You gave me this tattoo back in '82" "You were a spoilt child then with a record to plug" "And I was a shaven headed seaside thug" "Things haven't really chang |

Every single time
It becomes too much There's nothing I can say Or I can touch But the glory is, as it comes passing through, I know I will be there When green eyes turn blue It's the same for me Time appears to teach There is nothing quite beyond our reach Wits may sharpen up Their cuts and clever flays Let them squander all of them You brighten up my darkest gaze And as a consequence I can see out of the gloom That I gathered about myself That I thought would flatter me What the hell was the matter with me Every single time I approached despair I thought of your name and you were there I won't burden you As promises will do But I know I will be there When green eyes turn blue." |

You appeared when I was lost in reverie
If this is not a dream, it's my mistake And now I lie in wait for dawn to break I'm fairly sure I'm wide awake Pardon me, if I seem distant and strange Just tell me when did I stop dreaming? Let me get this straight Did I hallucinate? This fine and helpless feeling Tell me when did I stop dreaming? Let me know if you can help me explain I didn't recognise the danger But people will talk Was I just sleepwalking? Footprints left on the ceiling Tell me when did I stop dreaming? Then why should you care? This is my nightmare Was this one dream too deep? Now if I could only sleep Answer me, if you see the end in sight I'm just a soul who's lost in limbo Neither bad or good I'd spare you now if I could One more teardrop Then I'll wake up Tell me when did I stop dreaming?" |

What's her name today?
What's her name today? She could be anyone I might have known you'd leave her crying What's her name again? You should be ashamed How could you treat her so unspeakably? Or did you think she was a different girl? For as the radio played in the bedroom wall What was that name you called her? Was she the one who took away your pride And your reason? Oh, why did you decide that You'd punish any girl you meet To try and make that feeling go away? What's her name today? What's her name today? Is her hair hanging down? Or maybe it's fixed with a ribbon Are her eyes still blue? Should she trust in you? Because it's a lonely world She wants to believe for a while in all the things you say But as the radio played in the bedroom wall What was that name you called her? Isn't her smile reminiscent of someone else? Well, is it or isn't it? Oh, why did you decide that You'd punish any girl you meet To try and make that feeling go away? What's her name today? Is she going to stay So you can ruin her? And soon she'll be twisted in chiffon Dress her like a doll String her like a pearl She hears peals of bells, but it's hard to tell Now that she's hung up like a chandelier What's her name?

Nice girls, not one with a defect
Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct Red dogs under illegal legs She looks so good that he gets down and begs [Chorus:] She is watching the detectives "Ooh, he's so cute" She is watching the detectives When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot They beat him up until the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart Long shot at that jumping sign Invisible shivers running down my spine Cut to baby taking off her clothes Close-up of the sign that says "We never close" He snatches at you and you match his cigarette She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet I don't know how much more of this I can take She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake [Chorus:] You think you're alone until you realize you're in it Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit Someone's scratching at the window, I wonder who is it? The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay It only took my little fingers to blow you away Just like watching the detectives Don't get cute It's just like watching the detectives I get so angry when the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart Watching the detectives It's just like watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives... |

There hung a crescent moon To light the view But you didn't whisper the words When the moment arose I wonder how she knows You find your tongue is tied Your words escape and hide But she's so patient and kind She's prepared to read your mind That's all very well till you find Because of the wine you drank Your mind is just blank You find your tongue is tied again Your words escape and hide again But she's so patient and kind She's prepared to read your mind That's all very well till you find Because of the wine you drank Your mind is just blank I wonder how she knows I guess she will wonder until You pluck up the courage to tell her how you feel So close you can feel her heart trembling You look in her eyes as they close I wonder how she knows I wonder how she knows |

And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? But it's no use saying that I love you And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me For if anyone should look into your eyes It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see You hear her voice - "How could you do that?" You hear her voice - "How could you do that?" So I walked outside in the bright Sunshine and lovers pass by Smiling and joking But they don't know the fool I was Why should they care what was lost What was broken?

These rooms play tricks upon you Remember when they were always filled with laughter? But now they're quite deserted They seem to just echo voices raised in anger Maybe you will see my face Reflected there on the pane In the window of our poor Forlorn and broken home Still this house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you? These walls were lined with pictures Remember the glass we charged in celebration? But now I fill my life up With all that I can to deaden this sensation Do you recognize the face Fixed in that fine silver frame Were you really so unhappy then? You never said So this house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you? Oh, if I could just become forgetful When night seems endless Does the extinguished candle care About the darkness? It's funny how my mem?ry Will bring you so close then make you disappear Meanwhile all our friends must choose Who they will favour, who they will lose Hang the garland high or close the door And throw away the key This house is empty now There's no one living here You have to care about This house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you? This house is empty now There's no one living here You have to care about This house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you |

It's funny how my mem?ry Will bring you so close then make you disappear Meanwhile all our friends must choose Who they will favour, who they will lose Hang the garland high or close the door And throw away the key This house is empty now There's no one living here You have to care about This house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you? This house is empty now There's no one living here You have to care about This house is empty now There's nothing I can do To make you want to stay So tell me how Am I supposed to live without you |

Don't wait for the telephone if you want a call from me
There won't be anymore, there won't be anymore And don't wait for the mailman if you want a letter from me There won't be anymore, there won't be anymore All the love we had until you turn back And it broke my lovin' heart in two When you're heart is breakin' and you want some lovin' from me There won't be anymore, it won't be like before It won't be like before, there just won't be anymore All the love we had until you turn back And it broke my lovin' heart in two When you're heart is breakin' and you want some lovin' from me There won't be anymore, it won't be like before It won't be like before, there just won't be anymore |

You only saw red After I said, "How can we continue?" Hidden from your view In the blue corner that I painted myself into Then we started to fight And it changed everything Here's the ring You dropped the band, I can't understand it Not after all we've been through Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I Will find one to walk right into You knocked me out It was the sweetest punch The bell goes... I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming We all say things we don't mean You can't take it back Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice? I can see I'll never win So if you're going Then you better go to him Then you better go to him I only saw stars I dropped my guard, and that's how it ended What was I to do In the blue corner where I seemed to hang suspended? Then with seconds to go You delivered the blow Here I go You dropped the band, I can't understand it Not after all we've been through Words start to fly, my glass jaw and I Will find one to walk right into You knocked me out It was the sweetest punch The bell goes... I can hear it ringing, but I didn't see it coming We all say things we don't mean You can't take it back Now the room is spinning, but was I the last to notice? I can see I'll never win So if you're going Then you better go to him Then you better go to him |

The spell that you cast
Seems to be wearing off fast (The spell that you cast) Come back baby, cos I don't know if I can last (The spell that you cast) And I wonder whether You got some other kind of lover That you like to please Better than me I don't think I can take it How am I going break it? The Spell That You Cast The spell that you've woven Seems to be coming undone (The spell that you cast) Come back, Baby or at least tell me where you are going (The spell that you cast) 'Cos you know quite well I'm not a jealous kind of feller But they look in your eyes And they're all hypnotized I'm going to miss you madly 'Cos I love you sadly The Spell That You Cast Jimmy come quickly 'cos I feel quite sickly (The Spell That You Cast) You're like a gangster's Molly with a cannonade volley (The Spell That You Cast) I don't think I can take it How am I going break it? The Spell That You Cast |

Did somebody try to catch your eye And almost change your sad expression? Did somebody's hand linger too long? Must I now make my confession? But you'll never know What suspicion is Until you lie awake And every night you ask yourself "What am I to do?" Can it be so hard to calculate? When three goes into two There's nothing left over How's it gonna feel? This time it's real It's not a temporary fracture This is what you get, the stage is set For you and your attempted rapture Is he gonna smile That indulgent smile When you come running home? And every night you ask yourself, "What am I to do?" Can it be so hard to calculate? When three goes into two There's nothing left over What am I gonna say? You turn away And you leave me here despairing What am I going to do? I look at you You seem to be so long past caring Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Only to find out now that it's a joke So ask yourself, "What am I to do?" Can it be so hard to calculate? When three goes into two There's nothing left over Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" Did somebody say, "Can we still be friends?" |

trying to be too bad
trying to talk too tough trying to jack the lad you think you've had enough *but he's not the man you think that he can be I just don't know why you can't see that he is only the imposter that he is only the imposter never been this far always been too smart and you know how all boys are they're really girls at heart *Repeat when I said that I was lying I might have been lying never let me hear you say you're not trying this is your big decision hope you're not disappointed he's got double-vision when you want him double-jointed and he's not the man you think that he can be I just don't know why you can't see he'll only bring you souvenirs it's only going to end in tears and he is only the imposter and he is only the imposter |
