Another night with open eyes, too late to sleep, too soon to rise
You're short of breath, is it a heart attack? Hot and feverish you face the fact
You're in love and it feels like shame
Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again
You're in love and it feels like pain
Because you know there's too much truth in everything she claims

So ask yourself now can you forgive her if she wants you too?
Ask yourself can you even deliver what she demands of you?

You drift into the strangest dreams of youthful follies and changing teams
Admit you're wrong - Oh no! Not yet! - Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget
She's made you some kind of laughing stock
Because you dance to disco and you don't like rock
She made fun of you and even in bed
Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead

And ask yourself now can you forgive her if she begs you too?
Ask yourself can you even deliver what she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
But that's childish, so childish

Remember when you were more easily led behind the cricket pavilion and the bicycle shed
Trembling as your dreams came true, you looked right into those blue eyes and knew
It was love and now you can't pretend
You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend
It's bad enough she knows how you feel
But she's not prepared to share you with a memory

So ask yourself now can you forgive her if she begs you too?
And ask yourself can you even deliver what she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
But that's childish, so childish

Ask me why, I'll say it's most unusual
How can I even try to explain?
Why today I feel like dancing, singing like lovers sing
When I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing

Ask me when, I'll say it started when I met you
And ever since then I knew that the past couldn't last
For right now I think I'm running a race I know I'm gonna win
And I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing

If people say I'm crazy I tell them that it's true
Let them watch with amazement
Say it won't last beyond breakfast it's a phase he's going through
Denigrate or speculate on what I'm going through
Because it isn't the sort of thing I'd normally do

Ask me what, I'll say I think it's good for you
Believe it or not I know where it's all leading to
I feel like taking all my clothes off dancing to "The Rite Of Spring"
And I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
I wouldn't normally do this kind of ....... this kind of thing

Take my hand, I've changed my mind again
Really I believed it true that all who fell in love were foolish
But I was wrong, I've learned that lesson well
All the way back home at midnight you were sleeping on my shoulder

Take my hand, don't think of obligations
Now, right now, your love is liberation

To free in me the love I never dared
I always thought the risk too great but suddenly I don't hesitate

So take my hand, don't think of complications
Now, right now, your love is liberation
Liberation

The night, the stars ; A light shone through the dark
All the way back home at midnight you were sleeping on my shoulder

Take my hand, don't think of hesitation
Now, right now, your love is liberation
Liberation

Back home at midnight
All the way back home at midnight
 
 

A Different Point Of View

When I'm sitting close to you there's only one thing that I want to do
But I know what you're likely to say, that I'm going about it the wrong way
We can't agree about anything, where to go or even where we've been
And I know what you're likely to do, say that I never cared about you

And all I wanted to say was that I love you
But you're telling me now you don't believe it's true
You've got a different, a different, a different point of view
You've got a different point of view

You don't believe a single word I say, If I said black was white you'd say it was grey
But In spite of being treated this way I still dream of you all night and day

And all I wanted to say was that I love you
But you're telling me now you don't believe it's true
You've got a different, a different, a different point of view
You've got a different point of view

Just this once, just say yes, please

You've got a clever way of haunting me, I'm never scared but you're still daunting me
'Cause I know what you're likely to say and I know that you'll get your own way

And all I wanted to say was that I love you
But you're telling me now you don't believe it's true
You've got a different, a different, a different point of view
You've got a different point of view
You've got a different, a different, a different point of view
You've got a different point of view
 
 

Dreaming Of The Queen

Dreaming of the Queen visiting for tea
You and her and I and Lady Di
The Queen said "I'm aghast, love never seems to last
However hard you try" , and Di replied

That there were no more lovers left alive, no one has survived
So there are no more lovers left alive and that's why love has died
Yes it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you

Then carriages arrived, we stood and said goodbye
Diana dried her eyes and looked surprised
For I was in the nude, the old Queen disapproved
But people laughed and asked for autographs

And there were no more lovers left alive, no one had survived
So there were no more lovers left alive and that's why love had died
Yes it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you

I woke up in a sweat, desolate
So there were no more lovers left alive, no one had survived
So there were no more lovers left alive and that's why love had died
Yes it's true
Look, it's happened to me and you

"Darling, you were wonderful, you really were quite good
I enjoyed it though of course no one understood
A word of what was going on, they didn't have a clue
The couldn't understand your sense of humour like I do"
You're much too kind I smiled, with murder on my mind

Yesterday, when I was mad
And quite prepared to give up everything
Admitting I don't believe in anyone's sincerity
And that's what really got to me

"You have a certain quality which really is unique
Expressionless, such irony, although your voice is week
It doesn't really matter 'cause the music is so loud
Of course it's all on tape but no one'll find out"
You hated me too but not as much as I hated you.

Yesterday, when I was mad
And quite prepared to give up everything
Admitting I don't believe in anyone's sincerity
And that's what really got to me
Then, when I was lonely, I thought again and changed my mind

Then we posed for pictures with the competition winners
And argued 'bout the hotel rooms and where to go for dinner
And someone said "It's fabulous you're still around today
You've both made such a little go a very long way"

Yesterday, when I was mad
And quite prepared to give up everything
Admitting I don't believe in anyone's sincerity
And that's what really got to me
Then, when I was lonely, I thought again and changed my mind
 
 

The Theatre

It's another world here, the streets are gleaming
I was even dreaming that they're paved with gold
Seventeen at half past ten
All the crowds are surging past an electric display
There's another world here below shop windows
Upon the pavements where you wave goodbye
Boys and girls come to roost
From Northern parts and Scottish towns
Will we catch your eye?

While you pretend not to notice all the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over as you leave the theatre

It's another world here, somebody's singing
I was only wishing for a bit of cash
From a patron of the arts
Or, at least, "The Phantom Of The Opera"
Will I catch your eye?

While you pretend not to notice all the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over as you leave the theatre

Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody

Pavarotti in the park
And then you walked back up The Strand
Did you catch my eye?

And then pretend not to notice all the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over as you leave the theatre
In the end you pretend 'cause it's so much easier
We're the bums you step over as you leave the theatre
We're the bums you step over as you leave the theatre
 
 

One And One Make Five

Have you heard the news?
Everybody's asking who is that man you've been seen with
And why I'm never out with you

Please tell me that you love me, sort out this confusion
Say our love is still alive
For people must be jumping to the wrong conclusion
That one and one make five

What I need right now
Is to hear you say they got it wrong, that he's just a new friend
A perfectly innocent one

So tell me that you love me, sort out this confusion
Say our love is still alive
For people must be jumping to the wrong conclusion
That one and one make five
People are assuming 'cause it's so confusing
That one and one make five

If one and one make two
I don't need to worry about you
But here where gossip and rumour thrive
One and one can add up to three, four or five

Let's stay in tonight
And maybe disconnect the phone, the correct arithmetic
Just the two of us at home

Oh tell me that you love me, sort out this confusion
Say our love is still alive
For people must be jumping to the wrong conclusion
That one and one make five
Tell me that you love me, sort out this confusion
Say our love is still alive
For people must be jumping to the wrong conclusion
That one and one make five

If one and one make two
I don't need to worry about you
 
 

To Speak Is A Sin

We've been around forever, look at us now together
Ordering drinks at the bar
Saying hello to men friends, smiling across at friends' friends
Ordering drinks at the bar

To speak is a sin
You look first then stare
And once in a while
A smile if you dare

We'll stand around forever, regardless of time or weather
Ordering drinks at the bar
Looking for love and getting nothing that's worth regretting
But wondering why we travelled so far

To speak is a sin
You look first then stare
And once in a while
A smile if you dare
To speak is a sin
You'd better beware
but once in a while
A smile if you dare
 
 

Young Offender

You may be broke now and you may be bored
Call you delinquent or leave you ignored
You'll get what you want
Drive to distraction and crash on the way
Watch your reaction and wait 'til you say
You'll get what you want
It hurts if you can't

Young offender, what's your defence?
You're younger than me, obviously
Young offender, why the pretence?
You don't agree, I know, I know

I'll do what you want if you want me enough
I'll put down my book and start falling in love
Or isn't that done?
How graceful your movements, how bitter your scorn
I've been a teenager since before you were born
And I'm younger than some
I've only begun

Young offender, what's your defence?
You're younger than me, obviously

Will I get in your way or open your eyes?
Who will give whom the bigger surprise?

Is that fire in your eyes or the glow of machines?
Watch how your fingers burn over the keys
So sure what you do
I haven't a clue

Young offender, what's your defence?
You're younger than me, obviously
Young offender, how you resent
The lovers you need, it hurts when they bleed
Young offender, why the pretence?
You don't agree, I know, I know
 
 

One In A Million

Why this uncertainty?
It's not clear to me, would you rather be independent?
Have I lost your love?
Have you had enough? Do you feel too much resentment?
How can I make you see
When you disagree that you just can't leave?

One in a million men could change the way you feel
One in a million men and, baby, it's up to me

I won't stand in your way
I can't make you stay though of course I'll feel rejected
You're a part of me
You're the family I can't bear to leave

One in a million men could change the way you feel
One in a million men and, baby, it's up to me

Feel free to leave if you think you're trapped
But please believe I'll always want you back
 

One in a million men could change the way you feel
(Don't leave me baby)
One in a million men and, baby, it's up to me
One in a million men could change the way you feel
(Don't leave me baby)
One in a million men and, baby, it's up to me

TOGETHER We will go our way
TOGETHER We will leave some day
TOGETHER Your hand in my hand
TOGETHER We will make our plans
TOGETHER We will fly so high
TOGETHER Tell our friends goodbye
TOGETHER We will start life new
TOGETHER This is what we'll do

GO WEST Life is peaceful there
GO WEST In the open air
GO WEST Where the skies are blue
GO WEST This is what we're gonna do

(Go west, this is what we're gonna do, go west)

TOGETHER We will love the beach
TOGETHER We will learn and teach
TOGETHER Change our pace of life
TOGETHER We will work and strive
I LOVE YOU I know you love me
I WANT YOU How could I disagree?
SO THAT'S WHY I make no protest
WHEN YOU SAY You will do the rest

GO WEST Life is peaceful there
GO WEST In the open air
GO WEST Baby you and me
GO WEST This is our destiny
GO WEST Sun in wintertime
GO WEST We will do just fine
GO WEST Where the skies are blue
GO WEST This is what we're gonna do

There where the air is free
We'll be (WE'LL BE) what we want to be
Now if we make our stand
We'll find (WE'LL FIND) our promised land

I KNOW THAT There are many ways
TO LIVE THERE In the sun or shade
TOGETHER We will find a place
TO SETTLE Where there's so much space
WITHOUT RUSH And the pace back East
THE HUSTLING Rustling just to feed
I KNOW I'M Ready to leave too
SO THAT'S WHAT We are gonna do
WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS

GO WEST Life is peaceful there
GO WEST In the open air
GO WEST Where the skies are blue
GO WEST This is what we're gonna do

GO WEST LIFE IS PEACEFUL THERE
Go west IN THE OPEN AIR
Go west BABY YOU AND ME
Go west THIS IS OUR DESTINY
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
GO WEST Sun in wintertime
GO WEST We will do just fine
GO WEST Where the skies are blue
GO WEST This is what we're gonna do
C'MON C'MON C'MON C'MON
GO WEST!
 
 

Postscript

I believe in ecstacy
The times we've had, you and me
Friends we've met along the way
Partied every night and day
And I know we'll meet again
