Take your time and tell me
Were you lying?
I realise
That we've been found out this time

We should stand together
If we can
But what you planned
Means there's a difference between

What you're gonna say in private
You still want my love, we're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love that you can remember

So discreet (She's so discreet)
I never tried to meet (She never)
Your friends or interfere (No)
I took a back seat (Back seat) between

On what you're gonna say in private
You still want my love, we're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love that you can remember

What you gonna say
When you run back to your wife
I guess it's just the story of my life
What you gonna say

So take your time
And tell me, when did you lie
Or I may publicise (No)
That there's a difference (A difference) between (between)

On what you're gonna say in private
You still want my love, we're in this together
And what you're gonna do in public
Say you were never in love that you can remember

Tell me what you gonna say (In private) Oooh
(You still want my love, we're in this together)
What you gonna say, what you gonna do
(And what you're gonna do) Baby
(In public) What you gonna say
(Say you were never in love) Oooh
(That you can remember) What you gonna say
Say in private
 

DAYDREAMING
---------------
(You've gotta wake up)

You don't commit to me, you won't make a start
You don't tell me no, you haven't got the heart
You sit in the chair or you lie in bed
With a faraway stare and a swollen head
Well listen here, my lover, I have had enough
And I can tell you, brother, I could fall in love
With someone who looks a lot like you
But gets up and does what he's thinking of

I can't wait another day
I can give and I can take
There's a choice you have to make

So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long

I want to catch a plane to an open space
I want to feel the sun shining on my face
But time is short and waiting is long
My patience is exhausted, I'm just not that strong
I want to see the parade, you wanna watch TV
So we don't do either, it's insanity
You say there's plenty of time, and life is good
So you never make your mind up, well, you never could

I can ask you when or why
And you'll look up to the sky
The parade is marching by

So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long
(Daydreaming) Oooh
(Daydreaming)
(Daydreaming)
(Daydreaming) Oooh
(Daydreaming)
(Daydreaming)

(You've gotta wake up, you've gotta wake up)
(Leave me alone, I'm only dreaming)
(You've gotta wake up, you've gotta wake up)
(Leave me alone, I'm only dreaming)
(You've gotta wake up, you've gotta wake up)
(I'm only dreaming)

I can't wait another day
I can give and I can take
There's a choice I have to make, oooh

So many times things pass you by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all day long

So many times things passing by
Imagination running wild
You've got to start choosing right from wrong
Instead of daydreaming all night long

(Daydreaming) So many times
(Daydreaming) Things pass you by
(Daydreaming) You've gotta choose right from wrong
(Daydreaming) All day long
All day long

Mandy's in the papers, 'cause she tried to go to Spain
She'll soon be in the dock, and in the papers once again
Vicki's got her story about the mirror and the cane
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved

Stephen's in his dressing-gown now, breakfasting alone
Too sick to eat, he's on his feet and to the telephone
The police inspector soothes him with his sympathetic tone
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved

In the House a resignation, guilty faces everyone
Christine's fallen out with Lucky, Johnny's got a gun
Please, please me's number one

(It's a scandal, it's a scandal, such a scandal)

Now Stephen's in the dock for spending money that was earned
By Christine, and the prosecution says the money burned
A hole in Stephen's pocket, for expensive sins he yearned
It may be false, it may be true
But nothing has been proved

In the news a suicide note, in the court an empty space
Even Mandy's looking worried, Christine's pale and drawn
Please, please me's number one

(It's a scandal, it's a scandal, such a scandal)

Last night he wrote these words to his friend:
"Sorry about the mess"
"I'm guilty 'til proved innocent in the public eye and press"
The funeral's very quiet, because all his friends have fled
They may be false, they may be true
They've all got better things to do
They may be false, they may be true
But nothing has been proved
Nothing
Nothing has been proved
No, nothing
Nothing
No, nothing
Nothing
No, nothing
Nothing
No, nothing
Nothing
No, nothing
 

OCCUPY YOUR MIND

Satisfy your reason
It will occupy your mind
Even when you're dreaming
Believe
Find another meaning
To determine what you need
Experience this feeling
And believe
Believe

In a world so confused
In a world so confused
In a world so confused
In a world so confused
Believe

Love will pierce the dark cloud
Of unknowing and reveal
All that you were dreaming
And believe
These communications
Will descend on you en masse
So all I'm saying baby
Is believe
Believe

In a world so confused
If you feel love refused
Believe
In a life so defined
You could find time
To change your mind
Believe

In a world so confused
If you find love refused
Believe

In a life so definded
You could find time to change your mind
Believe

Occupy your mind and you'll believe
Occupy your mind and you'll believe
Occupy your mind and you'll believe
Believe

In a world so confused
In a world so confused
Believe

Occupy your mind and you'll believe
