    letra de No Action

    I don't wanna kiss you. I don't wanna touch.
    I don't wanna see you 'cause I don't miss you that much.
    I'm not a telephone junkie.
    I told you that we were just good friends.
    But when I hold you like I hold that bakelite in my hands,

    there's no action,
    there's no action,
    there's no action.
    Ev'ry time I phone you, I just wanna put you down.

    He's got the keys to the car.
    They are the keys to the kingdom.
    He's got ev'rything you need.
    It's a shame that he didn't bring them.
    I'm not a telephone junkie.
    If I'm inserting my coin I'm doing just fine.
    And the things in my head start hurtin' my mind.
    And I think about the way things used to be,
    knowing you with him is driving me crazy.
    Sometimes I phone you when I know you're not lonely,
    but I always disconnect it in time.

  3. The BeatVer letra

    [X]

    letra de The Beat

    We're all going on a summer holiday
    Vigilante's coming out to follow me.
    Heard somebody say they're out to collar me.
    Anybody wanna swallow me?

    It takes two to tumble. It takes two to tango.
    Speak up; don't mumble if you're in the combo.

    On the beat, on the beat.
    Till a man comes along and he says,
    'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
    Though you never enjoy, such pleasure to employ.'

    See your friends in the state their in.
    See your friends getting under their skin.
    See your friends getting taken in.

    Well, if you only knew the things you do to me.
    I'd do anything to confuse the enemy.
    There's only one thing wrong with you befriending me.
    Take it easy. I think you're bending me.

    I've been a bad boy with the standard leader.
    My neighbor's revving up his Vauxhall Viva.

    On the beat, on the upbeat.
    Till a man comes along and he says,
    'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
    Though you never enjoy, such pleasure to employ.'

    See your friends walking down the street.
    See your friends never quite complete.
    See your friends getting under their feet.

    Oh, I don't want to disease you,
    but I'm no good with machinery.
    Oh, I don't wanna freeze you.
    Stop looking at the scen'ry.
    I keep thinking about your mother.
    Oh, I don't wanna lick them.
    I don't wanna be a lover.
    I just wanna be your victim.
    I don't go out much at night.
    I don't go out much at all.
    Did you think you were the only one
    who was waiting for a call

    On the beat, on the upbeat.
    Till a man comes along and he says,
    'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy?
    Though you never enjoy, such pleasure to employ.'

    See your friends treat me like a stranger.
    See your friends despite all the arrangements.
    See your friends Nothing here has changed.
    Just the beat.

  4. Pump It UpVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Pump It Up

    I've been on tenterhooks
    Ending in dirty looks,
    List'ning to the muzak,
    Thinking 'bout this 'n' that.
    She said that's that.
    I don't wanna chitter-chat.
    Turn it down a little bit
    Or turn it down flat.

    Pump it up when you don't really need it.
    Pump it up until you can feel it.

    Down in the pleasure centre,
    Hell bent or heaven sent,
    Listen to the propaganda,
    Listen to the latest slander.
    There's nothing underhand
    That she wouldn't understand.

    Pump it up until you can feel it.
    Pump it up when you don't really need it.

    She's been a bad girl.
    She's like a chemical.
    Though you try to stop it,
    She's like a narcotic.
    You wanna torture her.
    You wanna talk to her.
    All the things you bought for her,
    Putting up your temperature.

    Pump it up until you can feel it.
    Pump it up when you don't really need it.

    Out in the fashion show,
    Down in the bargain bin,
    You put your passion out
    Under the pressure pin.
    Fall into submission,
    Hit-and-run transmission.
    No use wishing now for any other sin.

    Pump it up until you can feel it.
    Pump it up when you don't really need it.

  5. Little TriggersVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Little Triggers

    Little triggers that you pull with your tongue.
    Little triggers. i don't wanna be hung up, strung up,
    When you don't call up.

    Little sniggers on your lips.
    Little triggers in your grip.
    Little triggers. my hand on your hip.

    Thinkin' all about those censored sequences,
    Worryin' about the consequences,
    Waiting until i come to my senses.
    Better put it all in present tenses.

    Worryin' about the common decency
    When it is only a question of frequency
    When you say o.k. but i gotta cheek to be
    Sayin' you're tired of me when you don't even weaken these

  6. You Belong To MeVer letra

    [X]

    letra de You Belong To Me

    What are you girls gonna tell your mother?
    I don't want to hear another word about young lovers
    Or hiding your boyfriend in the cupboard.
    She's been to see the doctor, so you hope that she recovers.

    You act dumb.
    You say you're so numb.
    You say you don't come
    Under his thumb.

    Don't wanna be a goody-goody.
    I don't want just anybody.
    No, i don't want anybody
    Saying 'you belong to me. you belong to me.'

    Your eyes are absent, your mouth is silent;
    Pumping like a fire hydrant.
    Things you see are getting hard to swallow.
    You're easily led, but you're much too scared to follow.

    You've been warned.
    You're going to get torn.
    No uniform is gonna keep you warm.

  7. Hand In HandVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Hand In Hand

    No, don't ask me to apologise.
    I won't ask you to forgive me.
    If i'm gonna go down,
    You're gonna come with me

    You say 'why don't you be a man about it,
    Like they do in the grown-up movies?'
    But when it comes to the other way around,
    You say you just wanna use me. oh,
    You ^sit and you wonder whether
    It's gonna be syndicated.
    You sit with your knees together.
    All the time your breath is baited.

    Hand in hand.
    No, don't ask me to apologise.
    I won't ask you to forgive me.
    If i'm gonna go down,
    You're gonna come with me

    Don't you know i got the bully boys out
    Changing someone's facial design,
    Sitting with my toy room lout,
    Polishing my precious china
    Don't you know i'm an animal?
    But don't you know i can't stand up steady?
    But you can show me any kind of hell
    That i don't know already.

    Hand in hand.
    No, don't ask me to apologise.
    I won't ask you to forgive me.
    If i'm gonna go down,
    You're gonna come with me
    Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand...

  9. Lip ServiceVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Lip Service

    You left the motor running.
    But I know you're so attractive.
    Getting in some sharp practice.
    You better not do anything reckless.

    But everybody is going through the motions.
    Everybody is going through the motions.
    Are you really only going through the motions?

    Lip service is all you'll ever get from me.
    Lip service is all you'll ever get from me.
    Lip service is all you'll ever get from me.
    But if you change your mind
    you can send it a letter to me

    Don't make any sudden movements.
    These are dangerous amusements.
    When did you become so choosy?
    Don't act like you're above me;
    just look at your shoes.

    [Repeat bridge and Chorus]

    But if you change your mind
    you can send it a letter to me
    But if you change your mind
    you can send it a letter to me
    But if you change your mind
    you can send a little letter to me

  10. Living In ParadiseVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Living In Paradise

    I don't like those other guys looking at your curves
    I don't like you walking round with physical jerks
    Everything they say and do is getting on my nerves
    Soon the will be lucky to be picking up the perks

    'cause when they pull the shutters down
    And throw up in the dark,
    They'll find that all the dogs outside
    Bite much worse than they bark.

    Here we are living in paradise,
    Living in luxury.
    Oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long
    You better have your fun before it moves along
    And you're already looking for another,
    Fool like me.

    I call you betty felon 'cause you are a pretty villain
    And i think that i should tell them that you'd
    Make a pretty killing
    'cause meanwhile up in heaven they are waiting at the gate
    Saying 'we'd always knew you'd make it,
    Didn't think you'd come this late'.

    And now it's much too dangerous to stop what you've begun
    When everyone in paradise carries a gun

    [refrão]

    Later in the evening when arrangements are made,
    I'll be at the keyhole outside your bedroom door.
    'cause i'm the first to know whenever the plans are laid
    That never go further than floor to floor.

    You think that i don't know the boy that you're touching,
    But i'll be at the video and i will be watching

    [refrão]

  11. Lipstick VogueVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Lipstick Vogue

    Don't say you love me when it's just a rumour
    Don't say a word if there is any doubt.
    Sometimes I think that love is just a tumour;
    you've got to cut it out.

    You say you're sorry for the things that you've done.
    You say you're sorry but you know you don't mean it.
    I wouldn't worry. I had so much fun.
    Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being

    It's you
    not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue
    It's you
    not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue
    oh yeah.

    Get to the slot machine almost dead on arrival
    Just hit me one more time with that live wire
    Maybe they told you you were only a girl in a million
    You say I've got not feelings;
    this is a good way to kill them.

    Select the control and then insert the token
    You wanna throw me away but I'm not broken.
    You've got a lot to say. Well I'm not joking.
    There are some words they don't allow to be spoken.
    Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being

    It's you
    not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue

  12. Night RallyVer letra

    [X]

    letra de Night Rally

    I would send out for assistance but there's someone on the signal wire
    And the corporation logo is flashing on and off in the sky
    They're putting all your names in the forbidden book
    I know what they're doing but I don't want to look

    You think they're so dumb, you think they're so funny
    Wait until they've got you running to the
    Night rally, night rally, night rally

    Everybody's singing with their hand on their heart
    About deeds done in the darkest hours
    That's just the sort of catchy little melody
    To get you singing in the showers

    Oh, I know that I'm ungrateful
    I've got it lying on a plate
    And I'm not buying my share of souvenirs
    You can stand to attention
    You can pray to your uncle
    Only get that chicken out of here
    Everyone gets armbands and 3-D glasses
    Some are in the back room
    And they're taking those night classes

    You think they're so dumb, you think they're so funny
    Wait until they've got you running to the
    Night rally, night rally, night rally

    letra de Big Tears

    Everyone is busy with the regular routine
    The sniper just takes his aim
    Everyone is window shopping, no one is amazed
    Even if he hit you, you'd still think it's just a graze
    You go to a movie, you go to a show
    You think that you're living, you don't really know

    Big tears mean nothing
    You can count them as they fall
    Big tears mean nothing
    When you're lying in your coffin
    Tell me who's been taken in

    Oh, you talk about the new boss automatic clause
    But of course they make it all up for you
    Always fascinated by the weird edge of town
    Come home disappointed every time they put you down
    Laughing with the old boys, saying that it's all noise

    I suppose big tears mean nothing
    You can count them as they fall
    Big tears mean nothing
    When you're lying in your coffin
    Tell me who's been taken in

    All the buttons of my overcoat
    They have fallen off one by one
    You wouldn't even like me if you'd never had a drink
    You wouldn't even like me if you never stopped to think
    Standing in the shadow, turning wives to widows

    Don't you know big tears mean nothing
    You can count them as they fall
    Big tears mean nothing
    When you're lying in your coffin
    Tell me who's been taken in
    Tell me, me or yous been taken in
    Tell me, tell me, tell me

    letra de Running Out Of Angels

    They say they're running out of angels
    They say I'm running out of time
    Oh you don't have to be lucky
    It is easier than trying, now they're bringing down a
    Hammer on anything that sells
    I suppose you're a winner
    Because they're running out of angels

    And all the lies upon the tongues of all the girls upon the rails
    Will ruin any man who moved too soon
    All except the one who seems to know more than she tells
    You know she looks just like an angel
    but she sings so out of tune

    They say they're running out of angels
    They say I'm running out of time
    Oh you don't have to be lucky
    It is easier than trying, now they're bringing down a
    Hammer on anything that sells
    I suppose you're a winner
    Because they're running out of angels
    Oh
