Walking On The MoonGiant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk forever Walking on the moon We could live together Walking on, walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Feet they hardly touch the ground Walking on the moon My feet don't hardly make no sound Walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away No way And if it's the price I pay Some say Tomorrow's another day You stay I may as well play Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break Walking on the moon We could walk forever Walking on the moon We could be together Walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away No way And if it's the price I pay Some say Tomorrow's another day You stay I may as well play Keep it up, keep it up...
On Any Other DayThere's a house on my street And it looks real neat I'm the chap who lives in it There's a tree on the sidewalk There's a car by the door I'll go for a drive in it And when the wombat comes He will find me gone He'll look for a place to sit My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay Cut off my fingers in the Door of my car How could I do it? My wife is proud to tell me Of her love affairs How could she do this to me? My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be O.K. on any other day And it would be O.K. on any other day Throw down the morning papers And spill my tea I don't know what's wrong with me The cups and plates are in a Conspiracy I'm covered in misery My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be O.K. on any other day And it would be O.K. on any other day And it would be O.K. on any other day
The Bed's Too Big Without YouBed's too big without you Cold wind blows right thru' my open door I can't sleep with your memory Dreaming dreams of what used to be When she left I was cold inside That look on my face was just pride No regrets no love no tears Living on my own was the least of my fears Bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you Since that day when you'd gone Just had to carry on I get thru' day but late at night Made love to my pillow but it didn't feel right Every day, just the same Old rules for the same old game All I gained was heartache All I made was one mistake Now the bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big Without you
ContactI've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat Have we got contact You and me? Have we got touchdown Can't we be? I've got contacts in my book and in my eyes My good connection on the telephone never lies Have we got contact You and me? Have we got touchdown Can't we be? I've got a list of the people I have known I'm never alone on the end of a phone Have we got contact You and me? Have we got touchdown Can't we be? I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat
Does Everyone StareI change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I'm in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late I knew you never asked for this I know My shots will always misfire My shots will always miss Does everyone stare this way at you? I only look this way at you I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I never noticed the size of my feet Until I kicked you in the shins Will you ever forgive me For the shape I'm in For the shape I'm in Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you
No Time This TimeNo time for the complexities of conversation No time for smiles, no time for knowing No time for the intricacies of explanation No time for sharing, even less for showing If I could I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees I'd stop it spinning round But as it is I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time No time for a quick kiss at the railway station No time for a suitcase, sandwich and a morning paper Only time for time tables, calls and transportation No time to think no time to dare If I could I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees I'd stop it spinning round But as it is I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time If I could I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees I'd stop it spinning round But as it is I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time No time at all No time this time No time at all No time at all...
Visions Of The NightGazed into the visions of the night Seen the darkness fall I've heard a mountain fall away from sight Heard the thunder call Seen the beast I call my father Creature of the night I feel the creeping darkness close That electric light They say the meek shall inherit the earth How long will you keep it? They sow a harvest but what's it worth? There's no one left to reap it Gazed into the visions of the night Seen the darkness fall I've heard a mountain fall away from sight Heard the thunder call Seen the beast I call my father Creature of the night I feel the creeping darkness close That electric light They say the meek shall inherit the earth How long will you keep it? They sow a harvest but what's it worth? There's no one left to reap it Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night They say the meek shall inherit the earth How long will you keep it? They sow a harvest but what's it worth? There's no one left to reap it Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night Gazed into the visions of the night I have gazed into the visions of night I have gazed into the visions of night Gazed into the visions of night (etc. to fade)
Truth Hits EverybodySleep lay behind me like a broken ocean Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold You lay there sleeping like an open doorway I stepped outside myself and felt so cold Take a look at my new toy It'll blow your head in two, oh boy Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone Oh, oh, oh Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone I thought about it and my dream was broken I clutch at images like dying breath And I don't want to make a fuss about it The only certain thing in life is death Take a look at my new toy It'll blow your head in two, oh boy Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone Oh, oh, oh Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone Where you want to be Won't you ever see Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone Oh, oh, oh Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone Now
FriendsI likes to eat my friends and make no bones about it I likes to eat my friends, I couldn't do without it Ain't a man or poet, friend, I know just how you'll taste Your limbs go sliding down my throat and never go to waste Your death, of course, will sadden me, until I grok your essence I know your life was not in vain when digestion is commencing Consider this a celebration and the deepest pact of friends And I hope that you will dine on me when I come to an end Even friends may come to you with a new found revelation But think of it as life renewed and not their termination "To know you is to eat you" should be the code of lovers Death brings the highest act of love preserved for one another People say that what you are is only what you eat And my friends become a part of me, oh well it's then that life's complete To know you is to eat you, the act of love supreme Each one of us inside himself can appetise the dream
Don't Stand So Close To MeYoung teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside her there's longing This girl's an open page Book marking - she's so close now This girl is half his age Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, she's waiting His car is warm and dry Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staffroom The accusations fly It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabakov Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Driven To TearsHow can you say that you're not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocent die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food 'Cause this is what we've seen Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world, who knows what to do Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears Driven to tears

Canary In A CoalmineFirst to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect You live you life like a canary in a coalmine You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza You're so afraid to catch a dose of influenza You live your life like a canary in a coalmine You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line Canary in a coalmine Canary in a coalmine Canary in a coalmine Now if I tell you that you suffer from delusions You pay your analyst to reach the same conclusions You live your life like a canary in a coalmine You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line Canary in a coalmine Canary in a coalmine Canary in a coalmine First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect You live your life like a canary in a coalmine You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line Canary in a coalmine...

Bombs AwayThe general scratches his belly and thinks His pay is good but his officers stink Guerilla girl, hard and sweet A military man would love to meet The President looks in the mirror and speaks His shirts are clean but his country reeks Unpaid bills In Afghanistan hills Bombs away But we're O.K. Bombs away In old Bombay The general only wants to teach France to dance His army life doesn't give him any romance Guerilla girl, hard and sweet A military man would love to meet The general scratches his belly and thinks His pay is good but his company stinks Guerilla girl, hard and sweet A military man would love to meet Bombs away But we're O.K. Bombs away In old Bombay
De Do Do Do, De Da Da DaDon't think me unkind Words are hard to find The only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind And when their eloquence escapes me Their logic ties me up and rapes me De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions Words that scream for your submission And no one's jamming their transmission 'Cos when their eloquence escapes you Their logic ties you up and rapes you De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do, de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do, de da da da They're meaningless and all that's true

Man In A SuitcaseI'd invite you back to my place It's only mine because it holds my suitcase It looks home to me alright But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night Must I be the man in a suitcase Is it me, the man with the stranger's face Must I be the man in a suitcase Is it me, the man with the stranger's face Another key for my collection For security I race for my connection Bird in a flying cage you'll never get to know me well The world's my oyster a hotel room's a prison cell Must I be the man in a suitcase Is it me, the man with the stranger's face Must I be the man in a suitcase Is it me, the man with the stranger's face I'd invite you back to my place It's only mine because it hold my suitcase It looks like home to me alright But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night
Shadows In The RainWoke up in my clothes again this morning Don't know exactly where I am And I should heed my doctor's warning He does the best with me he can He claims I suffer from delusions Yet I'm so confident I'm sane It can't be no optical illusion So how can you explain Shadows in the rain And if you see us on the corner And we're dancing in the rain I join my friends there when I see them Outside my window pane Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain Woke up in my clothes again this morning Don't know exactly where I am I should heed my doctor's warning He does the best with me he can Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain
