"Claudie"

"Claudie"

It's so long since I sang songs for you
I forget all the words I once knew
I could look back but I can't waste the time
Did it matter they sometimes didn't rhyme?
It's so long since I sang songs for you

It's so long since you smiled just for me
Now your smile's just an old used-to-be
Does it matter that I can't take the time?
Would you rather I write you one more line?
Can my songs once again be for you?

Claudie made a fool out of me
Made me find another place to be
I've been living alone
In a house that wasn't my own
With Claudie is the place I long to be

When I left, did you think of me crying?
Did you care that I felt I was dying?
I pretended that I don't give a damn
All along I've known what I really am
I'm a fool little Claudie just for you

Claudie made a fool out of me
Made me find another place to be
I've been living alone
In a house that wasn't my own
With Claudie is the place I long to be

"Clown"

"Clown"

Now don't you feel sorry, oh no, for me now
There's no need to worry about a clown
She played it cool made me a fool
Now all over town they call me the clown

And I really thought she loved me, but now, I know
And I still can't believe, it just goes to show
She played it cool made me a fool
Now all over town they call me the clown

I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I got nothing
I'm a clown, and they're laughing at me
I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I've got nothing
I'm a clown, and they're laughing at me

Now don't you feel sorry, oh no, for me now
There's no need to worry about a clown
She played it cool made me a fool
Now all over town they call me the clown

I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I got nothing
I'm a clown, and they're laughing at me
I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I've got nothing
I'm a clown, and they're laughing at me

I'm a clown, and they're laughing
I'm a clown, I got nothing.....

"Come Rock With Me"

"Come Rock With Me"

On again
No I newer knew we could go on and on
They never thought we would be rockin' on
No we never thought we - could be rockin' on

Home again
And it wont be very long before I'm gone again
Now I'm gone again
And it's never really long before I'm home again
If you like what I like come rock with me
If you like what I like - oh, I'm on again
No I never knew we could go on and on
They never thought we would be rockin' on
No we never thought we - could be rockin' on

Take a look again
Is it really very hard to see the signs again
Were you listening
When I said that I was giving up my worryin'
If you like what I like come rock with me
If you like what I like - oh, I'm on again
No I never knew we could go on and on
They never thought we would be rockin' on
No we never thought we - could be rockin' on

Oh, I'm on again
No I never knew we could go on and on
They never thought we would be rockin' on
No we never thought we - could be rockin' on

"Coming And Going"

"Coming And Going"

Let me know what I want to know
If you really want me don't you let me go

And let me see what I want to see
Move in my direction, move in close to me

I see you here, I see you there
And when I close my eyes I feel you everywhere

So let me give what I want to give
Got my own way of showing how I want to live

Coming and going and highing and lowing
Baby I'm trying to tell you I love you

"Confidence"

"Confidence"

All she needs is a little confidence
All she knows is to run and hide
Through a lifetime of knocking back
Oh, don't do this, you can't do that
But she never learned to interact
All she needs, little confidence

All she learned was a little self-defence
Looking out over number one
She's been diving and ducking round
In and out the lost and found
But it never laid her to the ground

All she needs is something to believe
Sweet security
All she needs, tries so hard to please
But all she really, all she really needs
Is the confidence

No chance of keeping her close to me
No sense abusing her liberty

Through a lifetime of knocking back
Oh, don't do this, you can't do that
But she never learned to interact
All she needs, is something to believe
Sweet security
All she needs, tries so hard to please
All she really, all she really needs
Is the confidence

"Crawling From The Wreckage"

"Crawling From The Wreckage"

Got out really early from the factory
Drivin' like a nut in the rain
Don't think I was acting so hysterically
But I didn't see a thing until it came
Man, the drunks were verbal in the takeaway
Beating up the Chinee at the counter
I put a few inside me at the end of the day
I took out my revenge on the revolution counter

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

In walks Bud with his exploding nose
He'd been givin' it maximum today
He shouted "How the devil? You in trouble I suppose?
But all you ever do is run away."
Turned up the motor into hyperdrive
I wasn't gonna take any of that
Don't get bright ideas about a suicide
Cos all I ever hear is zoom bang bang bang

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage
Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Nothing seem to happen that ain't happened before
I see it all through flashes of depression
I dry up my drink, get people running for the door
I gotta make some kind of impression
'Cos when I'm disconnected from the driving wheel
I'm only half the man I should be
But metal hitting metal is all I feel
And everything's as good as it possibly could be

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin' from the wreckage, crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

"Cream Of The Crop"

"Cream Of The Crop"

I gotta get myself far, far away
I gotta tell myself that anyway
I can't forget the way that you used to be
Now all in all it seems so different to me
I said oh-oh Rosalee
Oh my Rosalee

Oh every time I see you I have to stop
And everybody says you are the cream of the crop
But if you're looking angry in any way
I don't believe I could stand in your way
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me

I've been around this place for quite a time
I've been around just feeling really fine
I can't believe I feel like nothing today
Well I don't feel too much anyway
I said oh-oh Rosalee
Oh my Rosalee

Oh every time I see you I have to stop
And everybody says you are the cream of the crop
But if you're looking angry in any way
I don't believe I could stand in your way
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me

Oh every time I see you I have to stop
And everybody says you are the cream of the crop
But if you're looking angry in any way
I don't believe I could stand in your way
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me
My one and only carriage, it rolls along
My funny love affair has found a way to go on
I won't change for you, you haven't changed for me
I don't suppose you have an answer for me

"Creepin' Up On You"

"Creepin' Up On You"

I like the way you walk
You got a giggle when you talk
I like the way you talk
You got a wiggle when you walk
Nothing you can do, sure as one and one is two
I'll be creepin' up on you.

I'm gonna be your man
You'd better understand
Be your pretty little thing
Your puppet on a string
Nothing you can do, sure as one and one is two
I'll be creepin' up on you

Gonna write a little letter
Poetry for two
Send you pretty flowers
Creepin' up on you

Gonna write a little letter
Poetry for two
Send you pretty flowers

Gonna take a little time
Before I make you mine
But I'll bet you anything
You're gonna wear my ring
Nothing you can do
Sure as one and one is two
I'll be creepin' up on you

Nothing you can do, sure as one and one is two
I'll be creepin' up on you

Nothing you can do, sure as one and one is two
I'll be creepin' up on you

"Cross That Bridge"

"Cross That Bridge"

I wasn't born in the lap of lux, I didn't have no silver spoon
We all dream 'bout mega bucks like wishing for the moon.
They say money just buys you problems, bigger taxes, jealousy
Big decisions on what to do with it all, that's the kind of problem I need.

I would cross that bridge when I come to it, when I come to it, I wanna get to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it, may be just around the bend.
Then I'm gonna burn that bridge other side of it, other side of it, greener side of it
Gonna burn that bridge other side of it, 'cos I never wanna go back there.

I thought I'd been in love but it's a feeling I can't trust
'Cos nine times out of nine I find I've been head over heels in lust
Married men say love's nothing but trouble like some kind of terminal disease
They say love's strange, love is blind, love hurts, well that's the kind of trouble I need.

I would cross that bridge when I come to it, when I come to it, hope I get to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it, may be just around the bend.
I said never, never, never, never, never
Never come back again, no, never come back again.

They say money can't buy you happiness, and that true love never runs smooth
They talk of the trouble and the strife they bring
Well I don't care, 'cos here's what I would do

I would cross that bridge when I come to it, when I come to it, I wanna get to it
Gonna cross that bridge when I come to it, may be just around the bend.
Then I'm gonna burn that bridge other side of it, other side of it, lovely side of it
Gonna burn that bridge other side of it, 'cos I'd never wanna go back there.
I said never, never, never, never, never
Never come back again, no, never come back again.

"Cupid Stupid"

"Cupid Stupid"

You've got so many secrets and tell so many lies
You think you're cupid stupid your body never cries
You don't do anything not at all

You just want everything you want it all
You're hanging out your window feeling bad inside
You never think it matters anytime at all

I'm going undercover everytime you call
You never stop to think now you take me for a ride
And so it's stupid cupid you're really gonna slide

Now when the battles over the war just carries on
But if it hadn't started it couldn't come undone
Don't say anything not a word
Would be the sweetest thing I ever heard

I don't know how to break it it isn't very clear
So am I going crazy or is it just a dream
Waiting at the station running out of steam
I'm trying hard to tell you
You never wanna hear
And so it's stupid cupid I whisper in your ear

Why why why don't I
Fly fly fly goodbye

And now it's nearly over I'm thinking very clear
I'm gonna run for cover but you don't wanna hear
Whats been going on you and me
Maybe it never was meant to be
Now I'm looking forward never turning back

When I think about it I bet you're still the same
Never gonna change you d'you reckon it's a game
You think that life's a movie a picture on the wall
And so it's stupid cupid and nothing much to call
Why why why don't I
Fly fly fly goodbye
