For your own good

For your own good call me tonight
Don't you think you should call me tonight?

Life isn't easy so why don't you stay
With the lover you need and not the devil you pay?

For your own good call me tonight

For your own good call me tonight
Don't you think I could make a difference tonight?

When you need a lover and it's so cold outside
I could help you recover from the pain that you hide

Life isn't easy so why don't you stay
With the lover you need and not the devil you pay?

For your own good call me tonight
For your own good call me tonight
Come on, call me
Call me

Call me tonight
I'll make you feel good
Come on, call me
Come on, call me
Call me tonight
I'll make you feel good
Want your body
Want your body
Come on, call me
Come on, call me
Come on, call me
Come on, call me
For your own good call me tonight
 
 

Closer to heaven

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me hope ; Give me all your love
Tell me now, you're coming home tonight
Have some faith in the love we share
Is it fate? Does darkness end in light?

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Where'd you go? Did you lose your way?
Tell me now, you're coming back to stay
In my hopes, paradise is real
Horoscopes can't forecast how we'll feel

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me hope
Give me hope

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me hope
Give me hope

Did you get what you want?
Do you know what it is?
Do you care?
Is he better than me?
Was it your place or his?
Who was there?
Did you think it was wrong?
Did you find that it's worse
Than it was?
Has it gone on too long?
Do you mind that it hurts me?
Because
You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
You're breaking my heart

Was it cracking the code
Or just filling in time?
Was that all?
So then why'd you go back
To the scene of the crime?
Did he call?
Shall I take further blame
Or another assault on how it was?
Then we'll get to the fact
That it's always my fault
Just because
You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
You're breaking my heart
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want
 
 

Happiness is an option

It is not easy
It is not easy

Looking from a window at the back of the house
At the edge of a town, it's grey
Like the day when I lost it
Clouds overhead, I talked to a flower that was almost dead
My body a prison, why did I do it?
Someone told me not to but I still went through it

It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

Needed somewhere to clear my head
Find some strength, a warmer bed
Maximum love in a minimal world
I'd never achieved it but then I believed it
So when I lost it - How? I'm not sure now -
It was a strange feeling like a law repealing itself

It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

I can wake up in the morning and not believe what I see
Look in the mirror and think if that's really me
I don't think I suit my face
It's not a catastrophe, it's more a philosophy
Like Russians wondering why we're born under a blue sky
But die in a forest

It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

This is neither old nor new, it's always forever
Somewhere between sense and ambition
Pleasure and decision
We have to make a choice ; What do we want?
Everyone singing "War, what is it good for?"
While planning the next one

I don't need to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

It is not easy
The war within us
But it gets easier
The more we learn
I don't need to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
I don't have to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

What a performance tonight
Should I react or turn off the light?
Looks like you're picking for a fight
In a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood changes
You're a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn and silent as a monk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

It's better than nothing, I suppose
Some doors have opened, others closed
But I couldn't see you exposed
To the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said : "Listen
Don't you know what you're missing?"
You should be kissing him instead of dissing him like a punk
But you only tell me you love me when you're drunk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

All of my friends keep asking me
Why, oh, why do you not say goodbye?
If you don't even try you'll be sunk
'Cause you only tell me you love me when you're drunk

What's the meaning when you speak with so much feeling?
Is it over when you're sober? ; Is it junk?
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
 
 

Vampires

Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Say what you like, I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire too

Sun in the kitchen
Boy, you're still sleeping
When you get hungry, I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire too

Night in the city
New Orleans pretty
Do what you want and then can I do it to you?
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire too
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire too

It's a reflex
Just a reflex
Like fear or sex

Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Say what you like, I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire too
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire too
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
 

Radiophonic

In the air : Radiophonic
In the air : Radiophonic
In the air

The night was long, now the crowd has gone
There's sunlight on my bed
Feels like a radiophonic workshop's beaming straight into my head
It could make you weep, I can't get to sleep
There's ringing in my ears
Like a radiophonic workshop orchestrating all my stupid fears

Radiophonic
I think I'm in love : Radiophonic
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love : Radiophonic
In the air

My skin is itching, I'm totally twitching
With the pounding in my head
Like a dud sub-sonic beat-box booming bass under the bed
My hands are shaking, my mind is aching
With a feeling deep inside
That you've been staring, sending signals every time our paths collide

Radiophonic
I think I'm in love : Radiophonic
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love : Radiophonic

Think I'm in love
In the air

Radiophonic
I think I'm in love : Radiophonic
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love : Radiophonic

In the air
In the air
Radiophonic
 
 

The only one

The only one

I think of you and wonder who
You are and what's your line
I wonder if there's someone else
Or if it's true that I'm the only one in your life
I only worry for your own sake
I don't know much about the deals you make
There's so much that you hide from me
The mystery : Am I the only one?
The only one

The only one
The only one
The only one

I don't know you, you don't know me
I wonder what we share
It's just that now and then you smile
And suddenly I know you care
And I'm the only one for a while
Though you've many reasons to tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be for you and you for me
The only one

The only one
Only one

As enigmatic as you can be
I'm not suspicious naturally
There's so much that you hide from me
The mystery : Am I the only one in your life?

Though you've many reasons to tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be for you and you for me
The only one
The only one, the only one

I wanna be the only one
I wanna be the only one
I wanna be the only one
I wanna be the only one
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be the only one
The only one
 
 

Boy Strange

See Boy Strange on the horizon of love
He's calling to you
What do you say?
See Boy Strange as an example of youth
So close to the truth
But still far away

And he's such a strange boy
Will he make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door that you left behind?

When you realise that this boy is strange
It's too late to change
Your point of view
He's often there when the sun meets the sky
With a perfect alibi
Unlike you

And he's such a strange boy
Do you think he'll make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door that you left behind?

To talk of common sense is a complete waste of time
His looks are a crime
Bound to commit
In the eyes of the world he's a borderline fool
Both naive and cruel
Why would you inflict him on you?

And he's such a strange boy
Will he make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door that you left behind?
And he's such a strange boy
Will he make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door that you left behind?
 
 

In denial

(Father)
In denial, no
My life's a trial
I'm not denying
That every little bit hurts
It's a problem
That I'm not solving
Don't mind admitting
I feel like quitting this job for a while
Getting away before it gets any worse today

(Daughter)
You're in denial
And that is final
You're not admitting you should be quitting
All these queens and fairies and muscle Marys
The rough trade boyfriend
Who in his own way denies he's gay
Why can't you see?
This is a fantasy world

(Father)
Think I'm going mad
How d'you know if you're going mad?

(Daughter)
Look at me I'm lonely

(Father)
Look at me I'm sad
I'm not denying
I could be trying
A little harder to deal with some of this stuff

(Daughter)
Know what I'm thinking?
Less drugs and drinking
No cigarettes and you'd feel a little less rough

(Father)
Is that enough?
My life is absurd
I'm living it upside down
Like a vampire, working at night, sleeping all day
A dad with a girl who knows he's gay

(Father & Daughter)
Can you love me anyway?

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

When you're a boy, some days are tough
Lying on your bed playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp, you gotta escape
Wanna go and wander in the ticker tape
You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

The street is amazing, the hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware at the latest deal
Hear a song ; That's the bomb
If you don't get that mix it's gone eighty six
You feel the deal is real
You're in New York City

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
New York City boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

Then as the evening falls
You can return it's calls
(Body-a, body-a, body-a, b-body-a)
(Body-a, body-a, body-a, b-body-a)
(Body-a, body-a, body-a, b-body-a)
(Body-a, body-a, body-a, b-body-a)

You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
New York City boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

New York City : New York City

New York City boy (New York City)
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
(You'll never have a bored day, New York City)
New York City boy (New York City)
This is your reward day
(You'll never have a bored day, New York City)
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
'Cause you're a New York City Boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
 
 

Footsteps

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

Whenever trouble comes around
Or lonely nights lead underground
And far in the dark
Abandoned cars suddenly start up
An anxious sound
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
That's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

When loneliness induces fear
Like waves against a ramshackle pier
When thunder and rain
Scar the windowpane once again
I want you near
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
That's all I need

I'm longing to see you
I want you
I need you

Like a child who feels afraid of the dark at night
Hoping to hear a gentle touch turning on a welcome light
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
That's all I need
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
That's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
Footsteps
