"Technicolor Dreams"

"Technicolor Dreams"


I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes.

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

I see your shadow tripping through a silver glade, tiptoeing over crimson sand
Luring me onwards into a sea of jade, leading me gently by the hand

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

If I could escape through the windows of my mind
I would fly to your magic mountain land
There we would stay 'til the world had passed away
With a love only we could understand

Technicolour dreams are all I see
Technicolour dreams of you and me

I see your face at the dawn of the day, gold as the sun begins to shine
I see your face now at the end of the day, purple shadows dancing in your eyes.

"Temporary Friend"

"Temporary Friend"


Where can I go? Who can I find to talk to?
Boy, do I know it don't look so bright to me
Because I'm heading down the road, carrying the load on my shoulders
Passing time away, drinking through the day alone

How could I know 'cos you never show your feelings
Why did you go? Why d'ya walk out on me?
I couldn't see the cards that you were dealing
It's you I can't shake, i just gotta break your spell

Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Oh I don't want to be ............... and a-lonely again
Oh I'm a-heading for the gutter and I'm close to the end
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend

You gotta see, you gotta see my meaning
How can I survive? I'm out here on my own
You gotta give, give me something to believe in
Somebody to love, somebody to take me home

Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Oh I don't want to be ............... and a-lonely again
Oh I'm a-heading for the gutter and I'm close to the end
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend

Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Oh I don't want to be ............... and a-lonely again
Oh I'm a-heading for the gutter and I'm close to the end
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend
Because I'm looking for the cover of a temporary friend

"That's A Fact"

"That's A Fact"


Sitting in a cornfield looking at a cob
Thinking of a long line waiting for a job
And I'm alone and that's a fact
I'm alone and that's a fact

Sitting in a full car someone at the wheel
Going to a new stop, I wonder if it's real
And I'm alone and that's a fact
And I'm alone and that's a fact

I need to maybe talk to you
Said I need to, and said I need you
I need to, I need to be with you
I said I need to, I gotta see you

Sitting at a new stop, didn't get the job
Couldn't find a long line, took another drop
And I'm alone and that's a fact
So I'm alone and that's a fact
And I'm alone, and I'm alone

Sitting at a new stop didn't get the job
Couldn't find a long line, took another drop
And I'm alone and that's a fact
So I'm alone and that's a fact
And I'm alone and that's a fact
That's a fact, that's a fact

"The Bubble"

"The Bubble"


Would someone be so kind
As to tell me where I am
I feel a time and a space
That I really can't explain
There's a long road behind me
But it's hazy up ahead
Maybe I should draw the curtains
Maybe I should get to bed
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
It's like being in the womb
And no-one knows the number
To my little padded room

What day is it this morning
Do I know and do I care?
The bag man is calling
We're moving on from here
I'm in and out of focus
I'm in and out of touch
No need and no connection
With reality and such

I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
It's like being in the womb
And no-one knows the number
To my little padded room

And I'm hanging on
Hanging on
Yeh I'm hanging on
Hanging on

I cut a key to the highway
I was barely seventeen
I was gonna do it my way
The best there'd ever been
Born to be a winner
Never ever lose
No deals with the devil
Just the rhythm and the blues

I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
I love it in the bubble
It's like being in the womb
And no-one knows the number
To my little padded room

And I'm hanging on

"The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)"

"The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)"


I study nuclear science, I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher who wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades

I gotta job waiting for my graduation
Fifty thou a year will buy a lotta beer
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades

I'm heavenly blessed and worldy wise
I'm a peeping-tom techy with x-ray eyes
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades

Yeah, I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades
Yeah I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright I gotta wear shades
I gotta wear shades, I gotta wear shades
Gotta wear shades, got to wear shades
I'm heavenly blessed and worldy wise
I'm a peeping tom techy with x-ray eyes.....

"The Greatest Fighter"

"The Greatest Fighter"


When the streets are empty late at night
Just the silence fills me with delight, s'alright
Rain is falling, trees are still
My mind is racing but my heart is as well
It's not funny, it's a shame

He's the greatest fighter in the world
Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl
He'll get better, the scars will heal
His eye will open but his heart never will
It's not funny, it's a shame

There's a funny side to it all
Seeing someone lese take a fall
When it's you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling
Such a funny side to it all
Take another tumble and fall
Everybody's tumbling, tumbling on

Different strokes for different folks, it's true
Changes in our lives go right on through and through
It gets better as time goes on
Some of us are gonna end up alone
It's not funny, it's a shame

There's a funny side to it all
Seeing someone lese take a fall
When it's you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling
Such a funny side to it all
Take another tumble and fall
Everybody's tumbling, tumbling
Everyone's tumbling

There's a funny side to it all
Seeing someone lese take a fall
When it's you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling
Such a funny side to it all
Take another tumble and fall
Everybody's tumbling, tumbling
Eveyone's tumbling

"The Loving Game"

"The Loving Game"


I wanna give you pleasure, don't wanna give you pain
I can feel this pressure running through my veins
And I'm ready, oh I'm ready to play the loving game

Ooh I start to shiver and my knees go weak
When I talk about ya I can hardly speak
And I'm ready, yeah I'm ready to play the loving game

I've been holding back, holding out for you
No-one makes me feel the way you do
I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
We're gonna play that loving game

Give me your body, give me your soul
We're gonna have a party, yeah we're gonna rock and roll
And I'm ready, yeah I'm ready to play the loving game

I've been holding on, holding out for you
No-one makes me feel the way you do
I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
We're gonna play that loving game

I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know

I gotta see you tonight, straight down the line
I wanna feel you tonight, your body next to mine
And I won't let go, 'cos I want you to know
We're gonna play that loving game
I gotta see you tonight
I wanna feel you tonight

"The Madness"

"The Madness"


Callin' out the boys and girls
Say hello to a crazy world
Of green skies, red rain
No problem, no pain
Introducing my invisible friend
Take you up around the bend
Where we're going is anybody's guess
'cos we're riding the oblivion express
With the madness
Yeah we're riding with the madness
You're never alone with the madness
And on a day like this all i wanna do is sail away
Into a holiday

Now don't be shy get on board
Mr m knows what you're looking for
Strawberry drums and green guitars
Champagne people and fizzy cars
Take a journey, take a ride
See yourself from another side
No need to sit around watching tv
When you can close your eyes and get it for free
With the madness
Yeh we're riding with the madness
You're never alone with the madness
And on a day like this all i wanna do is sail away
Into a holiday

na na na na na na

You're never alone with the madness,
Yeh we're riding with the madness
You're never alone with the madness
You're riding alone with the madness
On a day like this all i wanna do is sail away
Into a holiday

na na na na na na.

"The Oriental"

"The Oriental"


Her name was Mia
from North Korea
I said, Come over
Bring your Land Rover
I don't like sushi
She said, that suits me
I take a shower
On every hour

Oh, the Oriental, very very special
If you ever get some
You want another one and another one
The Oriental, very very gentle
I got one for a cousin
Can you send me a dozen?

Her name was Mae Wong
She came from Hong Kong
She was a raver
Of Eastern flavour
I said, I love you
She said, I'd love to
Go down to Texas
Must have one Lexus

Oh, the Oriental, so very very special
If you ever get some
You want another one and another one
The Oriental, very very gentle
I like it spicy
That'll do me nicely

I'm gonna cross the water, take a plane to Tokyo
And find a little geisha, I love to see them go
And carry on to China, Asia Minor and some more
Then finish with a sling in Singapore

Oh, the Oriental, very very special
If you ever get some
You want another one and another one
The Oriental, very very gentle
I got one for a cousin
Can you send me a dozen?

Oh, the Oriental will drive you mental
I really gotta get one
And then another one and another one
Oh, the Oriental, can you get them on a rental?
Don't send me a Russian
Ain't no discussion
Got to be an Oriental

"The Party Ain't Over Yet"

"The Party Ain't Over Yet"


There's a trouble wind blowing through my crazy life
I feel the chill begin, it's gonna be a long long night
I hear the thunder roll, but i dont fear the lightning strike
'cause deep inside i know
I'm gonna make it through alright

So let the walls come tumbling down
Bring on the last sunset
I ain't moving to heartbreak town
The party ain't over yet
Yeh, let the devil do his worst
But don't take any bets
That life has finally quenched my thirst
The party ain't over yet

Every drop of rain that ever fell into my eyes
Helps me ride this pain, they were a blessing in disguise
And i know in time, this'll soon be yesterday
There's nothing i can't climb, i've got the will to find the way

So let the walls come tumbling down
Bring on the last sunset
I ain't moving to heartbreak town
The party ain't over yet
Yeh, let the devil do his worst
But don't take any bets
That life has finally quenched my thirst
The party ain't over yet

So when the morning comes, i'll do more than just survive
I'll walk in to the sun, and live until i die

So let the walls come tumbling down
Bring on the last sunset
I ain't moving to heartbreak town
The party ain't over yet
Yeh, let the devil do his worst
But don't take any bets
That life has finally quenched my thirst
The party ain't over yet

The party ain't over yet
The party ain't over yet
The party ain't over yet
The party ain't over yet
