Live Bed Show

Live Bed Show

She doesn't have to go to work,
But she doesn't want to stay in bed,
Cos it's changed from something comfortable,
To something else instead.
This bed has seen it all,
From the first time to the last,
The silences of now,
And the good times of the past.
And it only cost ten pounds,
From a shop just down the road,
But that was seven years ago,
And things were very different then.
It didn't get much rest at first,
The headboard banging in the night.
The neighbours didn't dare complain,
Oh everything was going right.
Now there's no need to complain,
Cos it never makes a sound.
Something beautiful left town,
And she doesn't even know its name.
Now every night she plays the sad game
Ooh ah ah,
Called pretending nothing's going wrong oh,
Oh but she knows,
If this show was televised,
No one would watch it,
Not tonight but sven years ago.
La la la la la la la
Now there's no need to complain,
Cos it never makes a sound,
Something beautiful left town,
And she never even knew its name.
She doesn't have to go to work,
But she doesn't want to stay in bed,
Cos it's changed from something comfortable,
Oh but she knows,

No one would watch it,
Not tonight but sven years ago.
La la la la la la la
Now there's no need to complain,
Cos it never makes a sound,
Something beautiful left town,
And she never even knew its name.
She doesn't have to go to work,
But she doesn't want to stay in bed,
Cos it's changed from something comfortable,
To something else instead

Looking For Life

Looking For Life

Sure you had something to hide
I took your bag and looked inside
I was looking for life
Nothing inside but memories
The same as those I keep with me
I'm still looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
There's more to love than holding hands
But I think that we both understand
It's part of looking for life
I thought so long I couldn't think
But thought was what was hindering me
And now I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
Yes I'm looking for life
I'm looking for life
I'm looking for life

Love Love

Love Love

I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love

Am I loving the girl
Or the feeling I feel?
Is it just the idea that I like
Or is it for real?

I recall a special friend, I invited her home for tea
And while my mother cooked a meal she was under the table with me

I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love

These ideas that I have
Remain fixed in my head
Only the characters change
Someone else there instead

One day we went down to the park to feed the ducks some bread
Foul fowls wouldn't touch a scrap so we jumped in the duckpond instead

I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
Only the characters change
Someone else there instead

One day we went down to the park to feed the ducks some bread
Foul fowls wouldn't touch a scrap so we jumped in the duckpond instead

I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
I thought so long and suddenly I realised
I love love
Lalalalala...

Manon

Manon

Manon manon keeps a corpse in his home
Manon manon picks the flesh from her bones
Manon manon manon
Manon hard and white as a stone
Manon manon sits alone, all alone
Manon mano manon
Oh, manon manon manon leave her body alone
Manon manon put a match to your home
Manon manon manon
Oh, manon
Dans les jardins on peut voir manon un enfant de quarante-cinq ans
Ca femme est morte, oui, cest vrai, mais il cueillit la peau de ces os
Derriere les arbres, il voit une jeune fille en jouant avec son frere
Il les approche
Je vous renonce manon
Vous etes un vrai chien
Laissez son corps en paix manon manon.

Monday Morning

Monday Morning

There's nothing to do so you just stay in bed,
Oh poor thing,
Why live in the world when you can live in your head?

Mmm when you can go out late from Monday,
Till Saturday turns into Sunday,
And now you're back here at Monday,
So we can do it all over again.
And you go aah ah ah
I want a refund,
I want a light,
I want a reason,
To make it through the night, alright.

And so you finally left school,
So now what are you going to do?
Now you're so grown up,
Yeah you're oh oh oh oh oh so mature oh.

Going out late from Monday,
Chuck up in the street on Sunday,
You don't want to live till Monday,
And have to do it all again.
And you go aah ah ah
I want a refund,
I want a light,
I want a reason for all this night after night after night after night.
Oh I know that it's stupid but,
I just can't seem to spend a night at home,
Cos my friends left town,
And I'm here all alone ow.

Oh yeah they say the past must die for the future to be born,
In that case die little mother, die - ooh.
Stomach in,
Chest out,
On your marks,
Get set, go.
Now, now that you're free,
What are you going to be?
And who are you going to see?
And where, where will you go?
And how will you know,
You didn't get it all wrong?
Is this the light of a new day dawning?
A future bright that you can walk in?
No it's just another Monday morning.
Do it all over again, oh baby.
La la la la la la
Stomach in,
Chest out,
On your marks,
Get set, go.
Now, now that you're free,
What are you going to be?
And who are you going to see?
And where, where will you go?
And how will you know,
You didn't get it all wrong?
Is this the light of a new day dawning?
A future bright that you can walk in?
No it's just another Monday morning.
Do it all over again, oh baby.
La la la la la la
Do do do do do do

My Lighthouse

My Lighthouse

Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment; well in fact
It can wait all day
I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see
The beauty of this situation that
You could share with me

It may seem strange
To talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange
To me
Hey
All alone
You and I in our high tower
That's the way
To be

Some laugh at my lighthouse they say it's just an ivory tower
But I don't mind because I know
Their envy grows by the hour
See I have a purpose up here to guide the ships upon their way
All this is mine; it could be yours too
What do you say?

It may seem strange
To talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange
To me
Hey
All alone
You and I in our high tower
That's the way
To be
What do you say?

It may seem strange
To talk of love and then lighthouses
It's not strange
To me
Hey
All alone
You and I in our high tower
That's the way
To be
Hehehey hey

O.u. (Gone, Gone)

O.u. (Gone, Gone)

The night was ending
He needed her undressed
He said he loved her
She tried to look impressed
After the break-up
It's just something you do
To stop the night-time
From falling down on you

The world is ending
The sky is falling down
She's at the station
Because she's leaving town
Oh you could stop her
If you get out of bed
She wants to see you
At least that's what she said
You've got a minute
At the very most
And she's gone gone gone gone gone yes she's going away
Oh yes she's going away
Oh yes she's going away
Oh yes she's going away

And now it's over
Cos I just saw the end
I saw the credits
I turned around and then
I saw her running
Coming back to me
The sky exploded
But I couldn't see

The world is ending
The sky is falling down
She's at the station
Because she's leaving town
Oh you could stop her
If you get out of bed
She wants to see you
At least that's what she said
You've got a minute
At the very most
And she's gone and she's gone and she's gone
Coming back to me
The sky exploded
But I couldn't see

The world is ending
The sky is falling down
She's at the station
Because she's leaving town
Oh you could stop her
If you get out of bed
She wants to see you
At least that's what she said
You've got a minute
At the very most
And she's gone and she's gone and she's gone
Oh yes she's going away

Party Hard

Party Hard

I used to try very hard to make friends with everyone on the planet.
I've seen you havin' it, havin' it yeah
But now you've just had it.
Entertainment can sometimes be hard
When the thing that you love
Is the same thing that's holding you down.
This man is dangerous,
He just shed his load on your best party frock.
Before you enter the palace of wisdom you have to decide:
Are you ready to rock?
Oh can you party with me?
Can you show me a good time?
Do you even know what one looks like?
And I don't need to hear your stories again -
Just get on the floor and show me what you're made of.
Just what exactly are you made of?
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
I was having a whale of a time until your uncle Psychosis arrived.
Why do we have to half kill ourselves just to prove we're alive?
I'm here whenever you need me
And whenever you need me
I won't be here.
And have you ever stopped to ask yourself?
If you didn't come to party, then why did you come here?
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
And do you really want to know
Just how come you turned out so dumb?
When the party's over will you come home with me?
Now the party's over will you come home to me.
Will you come home to me?
And whenever you need me
I won't be here.
And have you ever stopped to ask yourself?
If you didn't come to party, then why did you come here?
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
Baby, you're driving me crazy.
And do you really want to know
Just how come you turned out so dumb?
When the party's over will you come home with me?
Now the party's over will you come home to me.
Will you come home to me?

Pencil Skirt

Pencil Skirt

When you raise your pencil skirt,
Like a veil before my eyes,
Like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies.
Oh I know that you're engaged to him.
Oh but I know that you want something to play with baby.

I'll be around when he's not in town,
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong,
I really love it when you tell me to stop.
Oh it's turning me on.

You can tell me some lies,
About the good times that you've had,
But I've kissed your more than twice,
And now I'm working on your Dad.
Oh baby.

I'll be around when he's not in town,
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong,
I really love it when you tell me to stop.
Oh it's turning me on.

If you look under the bed,
Then I can see my house from here,
So just lie against the wall,
And watch my conscience disappear now baby

I'll be around when he's not in town,
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong,
I really love it when you tell me to stop.
Oh it's turning me on.

I only come here cause I know it makes you sad.
I only do it cause I know you know it's bad.
Oh yes I know,
That it's ugly and it shouldn't be like that.
So just lie against the wall,
And watch my conscience disappear now baby

I'll be around when he's not in town,
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong,
I really love it when you tell me to stop.
Oh it's turning me on.

I only come here cause I know it makes you sad.
I only do it cause I know you know it's bad.
Oh yes I know,
That it's ugly and it shouldn't be like that.
Oh but oh it's turning me on

Razzmatazz

Razzmatazz

The trouble with your brother,
He's always sleeping with your mother.
And I know that your sister missed her time again this month.
Am I talking too fast or are you just playing dumb?
If you want I can write it down.
It should matter to you,
Cos aren't you the one,
With your razzmatazz and the nights on the town?

Oh you knew it, and you blew it didn't you babe?
I was lying when I asked you to stay.
Now no-one's gonna care,
If you don't call them when you said.
And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.
And all those stupid little things,
They ain't working,
No they ain't working any more.

You started getting fatter,
Three weeks after I left you.
And now you're going with some kid who looks like some bad comedian.
Are you gonna go out?
Or are you sitting at home eating boxes of Milk Tray?
Watch TV on your own, aren't you the one,
With your razzmatazz and your nights on the town?

And your father wants to help you doesn't he babe?
But your mother wants to put you away.
Now no-one's gonna care,
If you don't call them when you said.
And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.
And all those stupid little things,
They ain't working,
No they ain't working any more.

Oh well I saw you at the doctor's,
Waiting for a test.
You tried to look like some kind of heiress,
But your face is such a mess.
And now you're going to a party,
And you're leaving on your own.
Well, I'm sorry, but didn't you say,
That things go better with a little bit of razzamatazz?

And now no-one's gonna care,
If you don't call them when you said.
And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed.
Now it's half past ten in the evening,
And you wish that you were dead,
Cos all those stupid little things,
They ain't working,
No they ain't working any more
Oh well I saw you at the doctor's,
Waiting for a test.
You tried to look like some kind of heiress,
But your face is such a mess.
And now you're going to a party,
And you're leaving on your own.
Well, I'm sorry, but didn't you say,
That things go better with a little bit of razzamatazz?

They ain't working,
No they ain't working any more
