    [X]

    letra de Clubland

    With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty
    You're going off limits
    Going off duty
    Going off the rails
    Going off with booty
    They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types
    Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes

    Chorus:
    The boys next door
    The mums and dads
    New weds and nearly-deads
    Have you ever been had in Clubland?

    There's a piece in someone's pocket to do the dirty work
    You've come to shoot the pony
    They've come to do the jerk
    They leave him half way to paradise
    They leave you half way to bliss
    The ladies' invitation never seemed like this

    Chorus

    The long arm of the law slides up the outskirts of town
    Meanwhile in Clubland they are ready to pull them down
    Hey

    The right to work is traded in for the right to refuse admission
    Don't pass out now, there's no refund
    (When) Did you find out what you were missing
    The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent
    You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment
    Thursday to Saturday
    Money's gone already
    Some things come in common these days
    Your hands and work aren't steady

    Chorus

  4. Pretty WordsVer letra 3:11

    [X]

    letra de Pretty Words

    I ask you nicely
    Get my face slapped under wraps
    What's going on precisely
    Is there something wrong perhaps?

    Surprise, surprise (surprise, surprise)
    It's more like a booby trap than a booby prize

    Civil disobedience from a soldier with a dirty rifle
    You're loosening all the screws that hold the hinges of my life

    Fat cats and army brats
    Hep cats and dog tag pawing over girly mags

    Chorus:
    Pretty words don't mean much anymore
    I don't mean to be mean much anymore
    All I see are snapshots, bigshots, tender spots
    (1) mug shots, machine slots
    (2) machine slots, mug shots
    'Till you don't know what's what
    You don't know what you got

    Curious women running after curious men
    Curiosity didn't kill the cat
    It was a poisoned pen
    But there's not much choice (it's Hobson's choice)
    Between a cruel mouth and a jealous voice

    Got back to London
    Picked a paper from the man
    No words of consolation
    Just cartoons and titter tatter
    Well well, fancy that
    Millions murdered for a kiss me quick hat
    No backbone, blood and guts
    Better keep your big mouth shut

    Chorus

  5. Strict TimeVer letra 2:40

    [X]

    letra de Strict Time

    There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth
    I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming out
    Don't want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist
    'Cause there's no ventilation on a critical list
    Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist
    Strict time

    Chorus:
    Toughen up, toughen up
    Keep your lip buttoned up
    Strict time

    Oh the muscles flex and the fingers curl
    And a cold sweat breaks out on the sweater girl
    Strict time
    Oh he's all hands, don't touch that dial
    The courting cold wars weekend witch trial
    Strict time
    All the boys are straight laced and the girls are frigid
    The talk is two-faced and the rules are rigid 'cause it's strict time
    Strict time

    Chorus

    You talk in hushed tones, I talk in lush tones
    Try to look Italian through the musical Valium
    Strict time
    Thinking of grand larceny
    Smoking the everlasting cigarette of chastity
    Cute assistants staying alive
    More like a hand job than the hand jive
    Strict time

    Chorus

  6. LuxembourgVer letra 2:26

    [X]

    letra de Luxembourg

    Dressed up like a dog's dinner
    Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
    If this is a dog's life
    Then you're the cat's clothes
    They hire out your sons
    And hire out your daughters
    The man from abroad says he's already bought her
    And now you look like a lover but you're only a tourist

    Chorus:
    You're either talking or yawning
    You didn't listen to a thing you heard
    Don't start your morning moaning or you might wake up in Luxembourg

    You get over
    You're worried by her body
    She's worryin' about her bodily odour
    You pull off
    The pull over
    You say that you love her when you really loathe her
    Serves you right now she wants you to feed her and clothe her

    Chorus

    They're smiling sweetly while they're looking daggers
    Kick you where it really matters
    Send all your friends to Coventry
    And look for your name in last night's obituaries

    If you've got the Deutschmarks
    If you've got the Yen, then
    You get the shirt off her back and the clock off Big Ben
    Somebody's soft touch
    Struck all these bargains
    In the drinking clubs with the council men making
    Plans to put lead back in their pencils again

    Chorus

  7. Watch Your StepVer letra 2:57

    [X]

    letra de Watch Your Step

    Don't say a word
    Don't say anything
    Don't say a word
    I'm not even listening
    I read in the paper about their escape
    They're just two bit of kids from a bunch of sour grapes
    You better watch your step

    Watch who's knocking on your front door
    Now you know that they're watching
    What are you waiting for?
    Think you're young and original
    Get out before...
    They get to watch your step

    Ev'ry day is full of fun
    And family spies
    They're making heroes out of fall guys
    They say it's good for business
    From Singapore to Widnes
    You better watch your step

    Broken noses hung up on the wall
    Back slapping drinkers cheer the heavy weight brawl
    So punch drunk they don't understand at all
    You better watch your step

    Ev'ry night
    Go out full of carnal(carnival) desires
    End up in the closing time choirs

    When you're kicking in the car chrome
    And you're drinking down the Eau de Cologne
    And you're spitting out the Kodachrome
    You better watch your step

    Bye
    I send you all my regards
    You're so tough
    You're so hard
    Listen to the hammers falling in the breaker's yard
    You better watch your step
    You better watch your step
    Ooh, watch your step

  8. New Lace SleevesVer letra 3:45

    [X]

    letra de New Lace Sleeves

    Bad lovers face to face in the morning
    Shy apologies and polite regrets
    Slow dances that left no warning of
    Outraged glances and indiscreet yawning
    Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere
    Even presidents have newspaper lovers
    Ministers go crawling under covers
    She's no angel
    He's no saint
    They're all covered up with whitewash and greasepaint
    And you say

    The teacher never told you anything but white lies
    But you never see the lies
    That you believe
    Oh, you know you have been captured
    You feel so civilized
    And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves

    The salty lips of the socialite sisters
    With their continental fingers that have
    never seen working blisters
    Oh, I know they've got their problems
    I wish I was one of them
    They say daddy's coming home soon
    With his sergeant stripes and his Empire mug and spoon

    No more fast buck
    And when are they gonna learn their lesson
    When are they gonna stop all of these victory processions
    And you say

    The teacher never told you anything but white lies
    But you never see the lies
    That you believe
    Oh, you know you have been captured
    You feel so civilized
    And you look so pretty in your new lace sleeves

  9. From A Whisper To A ScreamVer letra 2:54

    [X]

    letra de From A Whisper To A Scream

    Oh it's not easy to resist temptation
    Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination
    Taking ev'ry word she says just like an open invitation
    But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation

    Chorus:
    Like a finger running down a seam
    From a whisper to a scream
    So I whisper and I scream
    But don't get me wrong
    Please don't leave me waitin' too long
    Waitin' too long
    Waitin' too long
    Waitin' too long
    Hey

    Oh oh oh oh oh

    Oh if the customers like it then they'll keep on paying
    If they keep on drinking then they'll end up staying
    I heard someone say where have we met before
    But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four

    Chorus

  10. Different FingerVer letra 1:58

    [X]

    letra de Different Finger

    Please put your rings on a diff'rent finger if you meet me tonight
    'Cause I can't stand those suspicious glances
    'Cause I know the things they're saying are right

    They're saying why don't you straighten up
    And see what you've got to lose
    Put it all down to fate but you still got the chance to choose

    I don't want to hear your whole life story
    Or about my strange resemblance to some old flame
    All I want is one night of glory
    I don't even know your second name

    Please put your rings on a diff'rent finger 'cause we've got so much at stake
    I can't stand those suspicious glances
    'Cause they seem to cover ev'ry move I make

    But if I can be alone with you completely tonight
    Put your rings on a diff'rent finger
    Before I turn out the light

  11. White KnucklesVer letra 3:47

    [X]

    letra de White Knuckles

    White knuckles came down to put the frighteners on
    I believe she's the one that he's got his heart set on
    It doesn't matter if your face doesn't fit
    There's no charge for changing it

    Oooh ooh
    What are you doing
    You see right through him
    You don't have to take it when he gets cruel

    Chorus:
    White knuckles on black and blue skin
    (1,4) You don't have to take it so you just give in
    (2,3) He didn't mean to hit her but she kept laughing
    White knuckles sweatin' on the headboard
    He never found out what the kisser was for

    Losing face with the boys while she's whispering in his ear
    They never found out why they called it laughing gear
    Maybe they weren't loved when they were young
    Maybe they should be hung by their tongues

    Oooh ooh
    Under the blankets with the body jerk
    He needs her like the axe needs the turkey
    Making a mockery of his fancy footwork

    Chorus

    There's always someone new to toy with when the penny drops in the slot
    Now it's all petty crime on the news at nine
    But it's all she's got
    Love on the never never dreams don't come cheap
    I don't close my eyes when I go to sleep

    Oooh ooh
    It gets right under your skin
    It makes you as miserable as sin but
    you don't have to take it so you just give in

    Chorus

    Why don't you come round anymore
    Mama said
    He's using you
    Sister said
    I told you so too
    When he goes through your head
    You took him to be true

  12. Shot With His Own GunVer letra 3:30

    [X]

    letra de Shot With His Own Gun

    How does it feel now you've been undressed
    By a man with a mind like the gutter press
    So disappointed to find it's no big sin
    Lying skin to skin

    Chorus:
    Shot with his own gun
    Now dad is keeping mum
    Shot with his own gun

    Now somebody has to pay for the one who got away

    What's on his mind now is anyone's guess
    Losing his touch with each caress
    Spending ev'ry evening looking so appealing
    He comes without warning
    Leaves without feeling

    Chorus

    On your marks, man, ready, set
    Let's get loaded and forget

    The little corporal got in the way
    And he got hit by an emotional ricochet
    It's a bit more now than dressing up dolly
    Playing house seems so melancholy

    Chorus

    Oh it's too sad to be true
    Your blue murder's killing you

    letra de Black Sails In The Sunset

    Vain boys are gonna have to swallow their pride this time
    So let the punishment fit the crime
    It's under the table
    Under your skin
    Into the cable
    Is this the death of the glory you're in?

    Chorus:
    Black sails in the sunset
    White noise going yakety-yak
    All the money in the world will never bring your body back
    Is it some mysterious dance nobody can do?
    Thought I knew all the steps quite clearly
    I don't have a clue
    Oooh

    You're Cinderella with a ball and chain
    And the shoe seems to fit you
    You tell the truth sometimes but
    You wouldn't know it if it hit you
    Is this some new trick
    Wired up in your head?
    Do you make me sick
    Or was I just force fed?

    Chorus

  2. Big SisterVer letra 2:11

    [X]

    letra de Big Sister

    Sheep to the slaughter
    Oh, this must be love
    All your sons and daughters in a strangle, all with a kid glove
    Eyes like saucers; oh, you think she's a dish
    She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish

    Big sister will be watching over you
    Sister see, sister do
    She's got to save me
    She's got you playing Russian Roulette
    Sport of kings, the old queen's heart
    The prince of darkness stole some tart
    It's in the papers, it's in the charts
    It's in the stop press before it all starts

    With a hammer and a slap 'n' tickle in inquisitive garments
    With all the style and [?] purchase of armaments
    Compassion went out of fashion, that's all your concernment
    Sweat it out for thirty seconds on all the prudeness

    Big sister will be watching over you
    Sister see, sister do
    She's got to save me
    She's got you playing Russian Roulette
    She's got to save me
    She's got you playing Russian Roulette

  3. Twenty-Five To TwelveVer letra 3:52

    [X]

    letra de Twenty-Five To Twelve

    You say you don't desire me
    You only tire me
    Now you'll hire me
    Expensive care is meaningless
    Feeling nothing and caring less
    Cut off at the pass
    She knows where you're headed
    She wants double time
    Or a temporary wedding

    Chorus:
    And the lucky girl leads a life of leisure
    With 45 years for seconds of pleasure
    The hands on the clock move so precisely
    And I only kiss but once or twice
    I can't help you now,
    I can't help myself
    'Cause the time's running out
    And it's twenty-five to twelve

    Crowds surround loudspeakers
    On the lampposts
    Listening to the murder mystery
    Meanwhile someone's in the classroom
    Busy forging books on history
    Wouldn't give that man my hand
    He'd steal my fingers
    So the sleuth ends up in stitches
    And your urges turn to itches

    Chorus

    I was committed to life
    And then commuted to the outskirts
    I was living with thirty minutes at a time
    With a break in the middle for adverts
    See the human furniture
    But its only for show
    Now you can look all that you like
    But they only let you touch and go

    Chorus

  4. Sad About GirlsVer letra 2:48

    [X]

    letra de Sad About Girls

    To all the girls that awake to escape in the morning
    You want to leave him without even a warning, a trace, or a calling card
    Sad about girls who know perfectly well why he's so sad about this girl
    He's so mad about this girl tonight

    So understanding--oh, she's so undemanding
    So in control, so on the whole--she's so good to you until it gets to you
    Sad about girls in your polythene world
    Where you unwrap and rewrap and know when she leaves
    That the next girl to suffer, putting you [posed?]
    Unwrap and love you before she can know you
    She's just got to show you the way that you're gonna be sad

    Sad about girls that awake to escape in the morning
    Get up and leave without even a warning
    But no where is sad as the girls in the night
    So ready to please you, so ready to bite
    Sad about girls who know perfectly well he's so sad about this girl
    You're so sad about your girl tonight

    Sad about girls tonight
    So sad about girls tonight

    letra de Hoover Factory

    Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue
    Must have been a wonder when it was brand new
    Talkin' 'bout the splendour of the Hoover factory
    I know that you'd agree if you had seen it too
    It's not a matter of life or death
    But what is, what is ?
    It doesn't matter if I take another breath
    Who cares ? Who cares ?

    Green for go, green for action
    From Park Royal to North Acton
    Past scrolls and inscriptions like those of the Egyptian age
    And one of these days the Hoover factory
    Is gonna be all the rage in those fashionable pages

    Five miles out of London on the Western Avenue
    Must have been a wonder when it was brand new
    Talkin' 'bout the splendour of the Hoover factory
    I know that you'd agree if you had seen it too
    It's not a matter of life or death

    letra de Love For Sale

    When the only sound on the empty street
    Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
    That belong to a lonesome cop
    I open shop
    When the moon so long has been gazing down
    On the wayward ways of a wayward town
    That a smile becomes a smirk
    I go to work

    Love for sale
    Appetizing young love for sale
    Love that's fresh and still unspoiled
    Love that's only slightly soiled
    Love for sale

    Who will buy? Who would like to sample my supply?
    Who's prepared to pay the price for a trip to paradise?
    Love for sale

    Let the poets pipe of love in their childish ways
    I know every kind of love better far than they
    If you want the thrill of love, I've been through the mill of love
    Old love, new love
    Every kind but true love

    For sale
    Appetizing young love for sale
    If you want to buy my wares
    Follow me and climb the stairs
    Love for sale
    Love for sale

    letra de Boy With A Problem

    I feel like a boy with a problem
    I can't believe what we've forgotten
    And I even slapped your face and made you cry

    It's the last thing I want to do
    Pull the curtains on me and you
    Pull the carpet from under love
    Pull out like young lovers do

    You swore you wouldn't shout
    If it's not your punch then its your pout
    Days in silence try my temper
    Nights spent drinking to remember
    How memories are always tender

    I crept out last night behind your back
    The little they know might be the pieces I lack
    Came home drunk
    Talking in circles
    The spirit is willing but I don't believe in miracles
    I've got a problem but let's go to bed
    I can roll over and I can play dead
    But here I am in the doghouse instead

    I feel like a boy with a problem
    I can't believe all you've forgotten
    Sleeping with forgiveness in your heart for me

    letra de Gloomy Sunday

    Sunday is gloomy, my hours are slumberless
    Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
    Little white flowers will never awaken you
    Not when the black coach of sorrow has taken you
    Angels have no thought of ever returning you
    Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?
    Gloomy Sunday

    Gloomy is Sunday, with shadows I spend it all
    My heart and I have decided to end it all
    Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad, I know
    Let them not weep, let them know that I'm glad to go
    Death is no dream, for in death I am caressing you
    With the last breath of my heart I'll be blessing you
    Gloomy Sunday

    Dreaming, I was only dreaming

    I wake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heart, deep
    Darling, I hope that my dream never haunted you
    My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
    Gloomy Sunday
