1. COME ON, COME ON

Darlin' through these clothes that I bought you no less
(Won't) get you what you need on
The trouble crosses and then
It's only your fixes that did never fit
No one's gonna make you cry for your love life tonight
Ohhh, how do I know
It's because I believe
In a love that is so strong
It's a love crush number one
If a love crush says come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on,
Yea I said come on,
Wow, I said come on
Yes like this
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on,
Yes like this

Yes, you know raving crazy to say things
I did you were sure
We don't need no panic patches some more
Look reality forbids you pin don't you feel it
No one's gonna make you fight your love life tonight
Oh no, why do I know
It's because I believe
In a love that is so strong
It's (In?) a love crush number one
(If) it's a love crush says come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on,
Yea I said come on,
Wow, I said come on
Yes like this
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on,
Yes like this

I said no, not the room at the top
I can't speed down and the pressures dropped
No longer room at the top
Oh we're gonna speed down and the pressures dropped
How do I know
It's because I believe
In a love that is so strong
It's a love crush number one
If[And that's?] a love crush says come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on
You're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight

Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
Hey little sister who's your superman?

3. HOT IN THE CITY

Stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger

It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet
On a hot summer night
Don't be afraid of the world we made
On a hot summer night

'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by
Yeah you can see the look in her eye
Then you know that it's

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

Stranger, stranger

For all the dreams and schemes,
people are as they seem
On a hot summer night
Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young
On a hot summer night

A sometime someone you're not
Don't wait to see what you got
'Cause you know that you're

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

We'll walk until my feet drop
I'm a train when I'm hateful
Yeah, lay right down now
And ride until your head breaks
I'm a-walkin' 'til my brain pops
I will move with the beat now
I'm a chain 'round an A-bomb
I'm a ribbon in the heat now
New York!

Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight


4. DEAD ON ARRIVAL

Dead on arrival
Well that's how they pronounced him
But I'm out for survival
I'm alive in this town
It took the vital injection
From that sweaty little girl child
She had the blood of conviction
I'm alive and hurtin'

And they said where did you go
And what did you do
Well what's gonna happen when he gets shot with love

Dead on arrival
They thought that nothing would save me
But I know what could break me
Dead on arrival
You were my death reflected
I love to tiptoe
That brought me into this town
I got a vital injection
And a gun at my head man
From a thrill hit redhead
That brought me into this town

Well where did you go
(+And) What did you do
Walked on out and he gets shot with love
With love, with love yeh
Yeh...

Dead on arrival
Well that ain't a prediction
Fact of fiction
I'm alive in your town
Don't try to shake me
Don't try to break me
I know what can save me
They take the blood in her town
And they said
Where did you go
And what did you do
Well, what's gonna happen when he gets shot with love
With love, with love


5. NOBODY'S BUSINESS

What a fool to step into those shoes
Either way you know they win or lose
You know money talks
Your eyes they ain't so blue
You love to watch the green-backs walk
You got a five-buck side-pack
Tell me, tell me someone stop this pain
It's your place I was in a rage insane
I wanted your love so bad
But your eyes are never blue
Droolin' over green-back poolin'
You got a five-buck side-pack
Well I must have been right about something
Yes to make it to here and to tell you something
Cause nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Well I must have been mad about something
Cause I'm M A D and I spell it for nothing
Cause nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
What a fool to step into those shoes
Either way you know they (you?) win or lose
You know money talks
Your eyes so paralysed
Don't you realise
For love and hate it's just too late
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own


6. LOVE CALLING

Sun goes down I rise
Red hair flames so bright
Iced gin breaks the night
Steal into her mind
Walk without a sound
Fire in the mountains now
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling, love calling
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling

So baby rock on
Clap hands, clap hands
For the song man
Rock on, rock on
Ooo baby rock on,
Clap hands, clap hands
For the song man
Rock on, rock on

Song man dreams for you
Moves his clapping space
Turns us into snakes
Hot hits
And the blue moon move, move, move
Move until we die
Move until she cries
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling, love calling
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling
Oo baby rock on

If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling, love calling
If you wanna rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub
If you wanna rub-a-dub, dub love
Love calling

So (Ooo?) baby rock on
Clap hands, clap hands
For the song man
Rock on, rock on
Ooo baby rock on,
Clap hands, clap hands
For the song man
Rock on, rock on


7. HOLE IN THE WALL

Hey babe, where did you go
When the down down got too much
Hey baby, where will you be found
When the down down gets to much
We were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the
end

Hey babe, where will you be
When the crack crack gets too much (crack)
Hey babe, where will you go
Oh, we were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the end

There's a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall

(She has under our expert persuasion)
(Has implicated you in high treason)
(You are under arrest)
(Do you have any final requests, requests)
It's a move to take you through
It's a move to take you through
It's a move to take you through
To take you through
To take you through
(You have until the sand runs up)
(Do you have any final requests)
(You look great, you look great)
(You look great)
Hey babe where will you go when the hole in the wall is shut
Wow, babe you know where I'll be when that hole in wall is shut
We were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the end

There's a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall

There's a hole in the wall
Ooh - a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Catch it before you fall
The hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh - a hole in the wall...


8. SHOOTING STARS

Here I come again
It is the end of the night
And baby stuck out tonight
Oh but to her strange vibes
To make her feel alright
For baby's feeling sick
Well now she tried so hard
So hard to be hip
She's shooting stars
With her friends
She's shooting stars
Till the end
What is the time of day
She thinks she's really hip
Oh it can be so maim
If you wanna play that game
Why don't you listen to me

Don't go out tonight
Don't go out with no boys
Oh your heads always to the ground baby
On the scrounge at the peppermint ground
Baby's feeling sense
Well now she tried so hard
So hard to be hip

She's shooting stars
With her friends
She's shooting stars
Till the end
What is the time of day
She thinks she's really hip
Well you wanna play the fool
You wanna be so cruel
You wanna shoot that hero
Oh don't you know that baby
Revolution or maim

It is the end of the night
And baby stopped out tonight
To many sing marks on her hearts
To do her any more harm
Baby's feeling sick
They tracked her down
And she tried so hard
So hard to be hip
She's shooting stars
With her friends
She's shooting stars
Till the end
She's shooting stars
With her friends
She's shooting stars
Till the end

Come on, be her friend
You know she's in my trust
You know she's in my strong


9. IT'S SO CRUEL

Here I am again pretty baby
Hanging around
Tonight I've been in every bar in town
Here I am again pretty baby
Hanging around
Tonight I have to try out every girl in town
I took some ecstasy in love

I took my troubles to the East side
I'm getting messed up on my backside
Wall of blocks A-D
Ended up in somebody else's sheets

It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you, without you babe
It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you
Will it ever be over baby
Feel my love come on over
Over you

Here you are again
Pretty baby
Hanging around
Tonight you walked through all my pleasant dreams
Here I am
You know where I look leads to a late night
Low down, low down scene
Really mean
Took the subway to the East side
I get messed up on my backside
Wall of blocks A-D
Ended up in somebody else's sheets

It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you, without you babe
You know what I'm talking about
It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you
Will it ever be over

Feel my love slide
You know what I'm talking about now
It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you, without you babe
You know what I'm talking about now
It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you
Will it ever be over
Feel my love come on over
Over you babe
For you babe, for you babe, for you babe


10. DANCING WITH MYSELF (WITH GENERATION)

On the floor of Tokyo
Or down in London town to go, go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm dancing with myself

When there's no-one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well I wait so long
For my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance

Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
