Lyrics

1. HEY HO WISH YOU WELL

Hey Ho wish you well
Hey Ho wish you well

[Chorus]
Hey Ho wish you well
Everybody wanna yell
High fly touch the sky
Over the moon
Here there everywhere
Any grumble going spare
High fly touch the sky
Over the moon
Over the moon

Mad Dogs & Englishmen
Going out in the midday sun
Come on and join the fun
Do you know what I mean
Are you a ladies man
Gypsies kiss in a caravan
Drinking the black & tan
Do you know what I mean

[Chorus]

Turn on your dictaphone
Take your secretary home
[Break] down in a parking zone
Do you know what I mean
Riff raff I need a bath
Try and look good on a photograph
I'm on a crazy path
Do you know what I mean

[Chorus]

Mad Dogs & Englishmen
Going out in the midday sun
Too hot to jump the gun
Do you know what I mean
Are you a ladies man
Gypsies kiss in a caravan
Drinking the black & tan
Do you know what I mean

[Chorus]

Hey Ho wish you well
Hey Ho wish you well
Hey Ho wish you well
Hey Ho wish you well...


2. LITTLE SHEILA

The boys are getting rowdy
Skies are getting cloudy
And we're standing in the rain
My feet are getting wetter
Now I'm feeling better
And we're all out of our brain
There's another urban jungle on heat
And another rebel out on the street
You gotta watch yourself whoever you meet

[Chorus]
Cos she's little Sheila
She's right now
She's little Sheila
Sheila's right now Yeh

On up and over under
Can you hear the thunder
On a concrete avenue
Pointed toe stilettos
Ringing in the ghettoes
When the girls are on the loose
There's some more commotion down on the street
And some more emotion out in the heat
You gotta watch yourself whoever you meet

[Chorus]
Cos she's little Sheila
She's right now
She's little Sheila
Sheila's right now Yeh
Sheila's right now
Right now

The boys are getting meaner
I ain't getting no cleaner
See me standing in the rain
I'm getting soaking wet
And then I drop my cigarette
And see it floating down the drain
There's another urban jungle on heat
And another rebel out on the street
You gotta watch yourself whoever you meet

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Right now
Sheila Sheila Yeh
Sheila's right now
Sheila little Sheila
Sheila


3. HARMONY

[Chorus]
Harmony into my life
There ain't nothing in this great big world
You care about
There ain't nothing in this world
That I can't do without
Oh it's gotta be me
Oh it's gotta be me
I can change you
Rearrange you
Wait & see

I believe in everything you say & do
Is there anything you say that may be true
No more second chance your choice is overdue
Oh it's gotta be me
Oh it's gotta be me
I can change you
Rearrange you
Wait & see

[Chorus]

The attention you receive goes to your head
You'd be better off believing me instead
If you leave me is it something that I said
Oh it's gotta be me
Oh it better be me
I can change you
Rearrange you
Wait & see

[Chorus]


4. MYZSTERIOUS MYZSTER JONES

The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
He'll wanna read your palm
And keep you calm
Gotta Voodoo head on a lucky charm
With a snake tattoo
Going down his arm
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
Well he's the living proof
Of eternal youth
Got an ice-cold diamond in his tooth
And the walls will tumble
When he hits the roof
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones

[Chorus]
Oh what's good for him
Is bad for me
Oh it's hard to [Break]
A mystery
A double dealing hero
To bring you down to zero
His origins unknown
And he ain't got no home
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones

He's into shooting stars
Eccentric cars
Grew up fussing, fighting, in the bars
All he's got to show for it's
The battle scars
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones

[Chorus]

The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones

Whatever makes him tick
Go take your pick
With a five line rhyming limerick
Is it his silver tongue
Well maybe that's the trick
Of the Myzsterious Mizster Jones

[Chorus]

The Myzsterious Mizster Jones
The Myzsterious Mizster Jones


5. WALKING ON WATER, RUNNING ON ALCOHOL

[Chorus]
Well I bin walkin' on water
I walk the water
I bin walkin' on water
I feel the beat
I bin running on alcohol
Oh now I'm rolling on home
Now I'm rolling on home again
Yeh I'm rolling on home again
Rolling, rolling along

I don't ever wanna go without it
You're bringing me to life
Gonna show you the funny side today
Hey Hey Hey Hey
You gimme something
There's no doubt about it
To get me through the night
Keep on laughing when you see me walk this way
Hey Hey Hey Hey

[Chorus]

Is it time to go and face the music
I wanna stay in bed
Pardon me if I seem a little slow
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Too much of everything
The night before
You know I'm easily led
Are my feet on the floor well I don't know
Oh Oh Oh Oh

[Chorus]
Well I bin walkin' on water
I walk the water
I bin walkin' on water
I feel the beat
I bin running on alcohol
Oh now I'm rolling on home
Now I'm rolling on home again
Yeh I'm rolling on home again
Well I bin walkin' on water

I walk the water
I bin walkin' on water
I feel the beat
I bin running on alcohol
I need the hair of the dog
Now I'm rolling on home again
Yeh I'm rolling on home again
Rolling, rolling along
Well I bin walkin' on water
Running on alcohol
Rolling on home again
I bin walkin' on water
Running on alcohol
Rolling on home again


6. 7 YEAR BITCH

You're going round the circle
Through another phase
Your temperature rising
You're wining and dining
A girl who's half your age
She gives you all the business
She gives to older men
And it's oh so understandable
This lady killer move
There must be something bottled up
You think you you gotta prove
Cos now that you're a member
Of something on the side
It's number...

[Chorus]
One, two and three, four and five, six, seven year
Can you control the bitch
One, two and three, four and five, six, seven
Can you control the itch

To tell the truth you're old enough
To be her dad
She ain't gonna let up
She wants you to set up
A cosy little pad
Where she can entertain you
And everything is free
I can tell you always were a sucker
For a pretty face
The nights you're home a Romeo
I'll be there to take your place
Cos now that you're a member
Of something on the side
It's number...

[Chorus]

You tell the wife another
Business trip abroad
It's getting to much
You better not touch
What you cannot afford
I know it's monkey business
And I've seen it all before
And I know that you were overcome
When she told you you're the best
You better believe she's saying the same
To me and all the rest
Cos now that you're a member
Of a little bit on the side
It's number...

[Chorus]


7. I'LL BE THERE

[Chorus]
If you say you need me
Then I'll be there
If you say you feel me
Then I'll be there
If you say you want me
Then I'll be there
If you say that you wanna love me
I'll be there

Just another day
And you wanna [Break] away
Don't do anything I wouldn't do
Oh Oh
Here we go again
Are you chasing after men
And playing hard to get when they chase you

[Chorus]

Staring at the walls
Only waiting for your calls
You sweet talker you there on the phone
Oh Oh
Another pack of lies
You're a devil in disguise
You ain't spending all your nights alone
[Chorus]
If you say you need me
Then I'll be there
If you say you feel me
Then I'll be there
If you say you want me
Then I'll be there
If you say that you wanna love me
I'll be there

[Break]

The liberties you take
The excuses that you make
There's something in your eyes that don't ring true
Oh Oh
Your ability
Leads to infidelity
While I'm saving myself just for you
Just for you, just for you
Just for you, just for you

[Chorus] (x3)


8. I WIN, YOU LOSE

You can try
Taking me out of my home town
You can't take my home town out of me
Oh oh I win you lose
You can make
You can make fun of my background
When there's nobody else around
Oh oh I win you lose
I win you lose
We all walk the narrow line
And all get the seven year itch
We all think we're doing fine
Miles apart
It's getting harder to take the strain
I'm only human and I feel the pain
Oh oh I win you lose
Shame on me
Infidelity on the brain
Too many promises I'll go down the drain
I win you lose
I win you lose
[Break]
Hey there ain't
Ain't no place like my home you see
Nobody's gonna make a monkey o'me
Oh oh I win you lose
I win you lose
I win you lose
I win you lose


9. TIME TO ROCK

Well I see my friends and family
Are waiting at the door
It's a party like you never saw before
Oh Oh Oh Oh
There's a bare skin in the bedroom
And another on the floor
It's a party like you never saw before
Oh Oh Oh Oh

[Chorus]
So I say
Time to Rock
Time to Roll
Oh I can't wait to celebrate
And we go marching home
Time to Rock
Time to Roll
Oh I can't wait to celebrate
As we go marching home

Well there's people there who I don't know
They're knockin' at the door
It's a party like you never saw before
Oh Oh Oh Oh
All the nice girls love a sailor
They get one in every town
But I like to see the rich girls get 'em down
Oh Oh Oh Oh

[Chorus]

Well it's getting out of order
And somebody called the law
Let's pretend that we can't hear 'em at the door
There's a time and place for everything
It's now and we're all here
And there's nothing anymore that's very clear

[Chorus]


10. ALL JOIN HANDS

I remember the time when I saw you
Standing there all alone in a crowd
I remember the time
Cos we drank too much wine

[Chorus]
We all join hands
And we all join hands
So let's all join hands
Here and now

All the girls getting kissed in the ballroom
All the boys Brahms and Liszt on the floor
I remember the time
When we sang Auld Lang Syne

[Chorus]

Have the time of your life when you're younger
Have the time of your life when you're old
Drink the wine, feeling fine
As we sang Auld Lang Syne
Repeat [Chorus] 2 times
We all join hands
And we all join hands
So let's all join hands
Here and now
Here and now
Here and now

11. LEAVE THEM GIRLS ALONE

Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah

Oh I don't think you're the kind of girl who likes living in a crazy world
You need loving any time you can - Hey I'm talking about the kind of man

If Daddy comes home at midnight
You'll cue Daddy's song
Well the girls are alright
Staying out all night
Leave them girls alone

Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah

I know that you ain't satisfied, I fooled around
Give me everything I won't let you down
I don't care if you're big or small
Give me dynamite, I want it all

If Daddy comes home at midnight
You'll cue Daddy's song
Well the girls are alright
Staying out all night
Leave them girls alone

Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah

On the town and all dressed up to kill
Don't do anything against your will
Overloaded and still want more
Much more than I've ever felt before

If Daddy comes home at midnight
You'll cue Daddy's song
Well the girls are alright
Staying out all night
Leave them girls alone

Woah woah-wow woah
Leaving all the girls alone
Woah woah-wow woah
Love and leave ‘em alone
Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah
Leave and love ‘em alone
Woah woah-wow woah


12. MAMA NATURE IS A ROCKER

Mama nature is a rocker
Get the bee to buzz and made it sting
Mama nature is a rocker
She gets your head spinnin' in the spring

Are you ready?
Woah are you ready?
Woah are you ready?
Cos the earth is going to shake it tonight
Alright

Mama nature is a rocker
When she gets angry hear the thunder clap
She takes the rain out of the ocean
And when she wants to cry she throws it back

Are you ready? Woah are you ready?
Woah are you ready?
Cos the earth is going to shake tonight.
Alright

Mama nature is a rocker
Every day comes up with something new
She takes the day back into night time
She can curse and turn the grey sky blue

Are you ready? Woah, are you ready?
Woah, are you ready?
Cos the earth is going to shake it tonight

Are you ready?
Cos the earth is going to shake it tonight. Alright
Are you ready?
Mama nature's gonna roll it tonight.
Yeah


13. DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

It was in the winter of '79 when the band was at a low
Then we met yer man that they called The Mouth at a party there on show
He said "Why'd you carry on this way, I could never go to dat"
But he had to learn he was just the same - One step forward two steps back
Can you hear me now
Oh do you believe in miracles - Just as only dreamers can
Anything can work with a miracle
Like a bloody minded man - Like a bloody minded man
It was in the autumn of '84 going live through '85
When he made the greatest show on earth to help a country to survive
Can you hear me now, hear me now
Oh do you believe in miracles - Just as only dreamers can
Anything can work with a miracle
Like a bloody minded man - Like a bloody minded man
So your man determined, he found a course
When the powers just couldn't cope
Or did you ever think that old rock and roll
Could give the world some kind of hope
Can you hear me now, hear me now
Oh do you believe in miracles just as only dreamers can
Anything can work with a miracle
Like a bloody minded man - Like a bloody minded man
Oh do you believe in miracles when the dream has just begun
Anything can work with a miracle, just like Irelands favourite son
And the dream has just begun
Do you believe in miracles - Repeat to fade
