1. MARILYN

When he was about seventeen
He stole a magazine
'Dancing queen'
The frontpage girl called marilyn
She looked pretty, lean
And quite obscene

He knew
She'd never let him down
Like every other one in town
She was the only one

Marilyn the dancing queen
Was smiling from his
Tv screen
Marilyn the dancing queen
Was always loving in his
Sweetest dream

He tried to call the magazine
Left a message on
Their answer machine
That his in love with marilyn
If she could phone him back
He would be keen

He knew
She'd never let him down
Like every other one in town
She was the only one

Marilyn the dancing queen
Was smiling from his
Tv screen
Marilyn the dancing queen
Was loving in
His sweetest dream
Marilyn, oh marilyn
Champagne, strawberries and cream
Marilyn, oh marilyn
Satin, lace and velveteen
Seet sweet dream
Seet sweet dream


2. LIMELIGHT

He got a job in a record store
Where he works all day
Seems like he does okay
But he's so quiet all the time
When he leaves the shop
He goes straight back home
You know

And when he's there
He puts the limelight on
And he don't care
What else is going on
'Cause then he's stella the star

He's got a dress in the warderobe
He puts lipstick on
And high heel shoes
Like the girl in the magazine
When he leaves the house
And walks to the bar

And when he's there
He puts the limelight on
And he don't care
What else is going on
'Cause then he's stella the star

He shines and shines and shines
Until the pain
Until the pain is gone
He shines and shines and shines
Until the night
Until the night is gone

He got a dress in the warderobe
He puts lipstick on
And high heel shoes
Like the girl in the video
He wants to be
In the tv show
You know


3. CRUEL CRUEL LUCK

Cruel, cruel luck
Oh so pure and sweet
And so marvelous that
You can't take
Your two hands off it
Yes, you wouldn't even try

Cruel, cruel luck
Oh so cold and mean
And so beautiful that
You don't feel
Your dreams fade away
Then you're sad and empty too

Oh my girlfriend got a job
I've got a feeling i will get one too
Soon she got a golden ring
That makes you wanna get one too
Tomorrow night

Cruel cruel luck
What you've done to me
I'm not what i've been
Before you came
My way one night
Oh it felt so good right then

And my girlfriend got a job
I've got a feeling i will get one too
Soon she got a golden ring
That makes you wanna get one too
And my girlfriend got a car
I've got a feeling i will get one too
Soon she got a bigger flat
That makes you wanna get one too
Tomorrow night


4. MY LOON

Somehow we are lovers
And somehow we are friends
Somehow we are strangers too
But we don't ever mind
It will never feel the same
For you and me

Somehow we are beggars
And somehow we are thieves
Somehow we are angels too
But we don't ever mind
It will never feel the same
For you and me

It's allright, 'cause i hate you no more
It's allright, 'cause it hurts me no longer and
It's allright, 'cause i can work it out
And don't feel lonely anymore
With you my loon
My only loon

Somehow we are gamblers
But never take a chance
Somehow we are stumbling too
Affraid to let it end
It will never feel the same
For you and me
