- Domino dancing
Letra
(All day, all day) I don't know why, I don't know how I thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now I've seen you look at strangers too many times A love-you-once is of a, a different kind Remember when we felt the sun A love like paradise, how hot it burned A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red And when you walked, you always - turned every head (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day, domino dancing) I thought that when we fought I was to blame But now I know you play a different game I've watched you dance with danger, still wanting more Add another number to the score (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day, domino dancing) When you look around you wonder Do you play to win? Or are you just a bad loser? (All day, all day) (All day, all day) I don't know why, I don't know how I thought I loved you but I'm not sure now I hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark And now a storm is breaking within my heart (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day, domino dancing) (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day, domino dancing) (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) Domino dancing (All day, all day) Watch them all fall down (All day, all day) - Before
Letra
The telephone's not answered So many times you'll call For many different reasons So many tears will fall before You find your love before It comes knocking at your door Before you know for sure This is what you were waiting for So many fears will haunt you Deny them or regret Some men will make you want to And you will not forget before You find your love before It comes knocking at your door Before you know for sure This is what you were waiting for There's a story of a man who loved too much He ended up inside a prison cell You've got to want to give to get it Or you could land up in the same suspicious hell It's happened before (Before Before Before) It's happened before (Before Before) Coincidence and patience Will mend this fatal flaw Though it may seem a long wait Others have been here before You find your love before It comes knocking at your door Before you know for sure This is what you were waiting for One day, when the phone starts ringing You'll answer to the words you're longing for No tears, no trade, no prison cell Whatever you need, he will return more It's happened before (Before Before Before) It's happened before (Before Before) You find your love before It comes knocking at your door Before you know for sure This is what you were waiting for You find your love before It comes knocking at your door Before you know for sure This is what you were waiting for It's happened before (Before Before Before) It's happened before (Before Before) - New York city boy
Letra
When you're a boy Some days are tough Lying on your bad Playing punk rock and stuff Home is a boot camp You gotta escape Wanna go and wander In the ticker-tape You feel the deal is real You're a New York City boy So young, so run Into New York City New York City boy You'll never have a bored day 'Cause you're a New York City Boy Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway The street is amazing The hoochies unreal Check out all the hardware At the latest deal Hear a song That's the bomb If you don't get the mix It's got eighty-six You feel the deal is real You're in New York City New York City boy You'll never have a bored day 'Cause you're a New York City Boy Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway New York city boy This is your reward day 'Cause you're a New York City Boy Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway Then as the evening falls You can return its calls You feel the deal is real You're a New York City boy So young, so run Into New York City New York City boy You'll never have a bored day 'Cause you're a New York City Boy Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway - It's alright
- Where the secrets have no name
- A red letter day
Letra
Go to work and take your calls Hang the fruits of your labour on the walls Such precision and care What does it matter if there's no one here to share The flowers in the garden, the wine The Waiting For Godot and so much modern time? All I want is what you want I'm always waiting for a red letter day The years perfecting a stance Of measured cool fade into insignificance The moment one starts to understand What on earth does it profit a man? All I want is what you want I'm always waiting for a red letter day For something special, somehow new Someone saying "I love you" Baby, I'm waiting for that red letter day You can sneer or disappear Behind a veneer of self-control But for all of those who don't fit in Who follow their instincts and are told they sin This is a prayer for a different way All I want is what you want I'm always waiting for a red letter day Like Christmas morning when you're a kid Admit you love me and you always did Baby, I'm hoping for that red letter day today
Disco 2
- Left to my own devices
Letra
I get out of bed at half past ten Phone up a friend, who's a party animal Turn on the news and drink some tea Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car If you pass the test, you can beat the rest But I don't like to compete, or talk street, street, street I can pick up the best from the party animal I could leave you, say goodbye Or I could love you, if I try And I could And left to my own devices, I probably would Pick up a brochure about the sun Learn to ignore what the photographer saw I was always told that you should join a club Stick with the gang, if you want to belong I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy In a world of my own at the back of the garden I didn't want to compete, or play out on the street For in a secret life I was a round head general I could leave you, say goodbye Or I could love you, if I try And I could And left to my own devices, I probably would Left to my own devices, I probably would Oh, I would I was faced with a choice at a difficult age Would I write a book? Or should I take to the stage? But in the back of my head I heard distant feet Che Guevara and De'bussy to a disco beat It's not a crime when you look the way you do The way I like to picture you When I get home, it's late at night I pour a drink and watch the fight Turn off the TV, look at a book Pick up the phone, fix some food Maybe I'll sit up all night and day Waiting for the minute I hear you say I could leave you, say goodbye Or I could love you, if I try And I could And left to my own devices, I probably would Come on, baby, say goodbye Or I could love you, if I try And I could And left to my own devices, I probably would Left to my own devices, I probably would (Come on baby) Left to my own devices, I probably would - I don't know what you want but I can't give it anymore
- Flamboyant
- Being boring
Letra
I came across a cache of old photos And invitations to teenage parties "Dress in white" one said, with quotations From someone's wife, a famous writer In the nineteen-twenties When you're young you find inspiration In anyone who's ever gone And opened up a closing door She said: "We were never feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end When I went I left from the station With a haversack and some trepidation Someone said: "If you're not careful You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for In the nineteen-seventies" But I sat back and looking forward My shoes were high and I had scored I'd bolted through a closing door I would never find myself feeling bored 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend Now I sit with different faces In rented rooms and foreign places All the people I was kissing Some are here and some are missing In the nineteen-nineties I never dreamt that I would get to be The creature that I always meant to be But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me 'Cause we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" And we were never holding back or worried that Time would come to an end We were always hoping that, looking back You could always rely on a friend And we were never being boring We had too much time to find for ourselves And we were never being boring We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends" And we were never being boring We were never being bored 'Cause we were never being boring We were never being bored - Can you forgive her?
Letra
Another night with open eyes Too late to sleep, too soon to rise You're short of breath, is it a heart attack? Hot and feverish you face the fact You're in love, and it feels like shame Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again You're in love, and it feels like pain Because you know there's too much truth in everything she claims So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her If she wants you to? Ask yourself: Can you even deliver What she demands of you? You drift into the strangest dreams Of youthful follies and changing teams Admit you're wrong, oh, no, not yet Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget She's made you some kind of laughing stock Because you dance to disco, and you don't like rock She'd make fun of you, and even in bed Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her If she begs you to? Ask yourself: Can you even deliver What she demands of you? Or do you want revenge? But that's childish, so childish! (But that's childish, so childish!) Remember when you were more easily led Behind the cricket pavilion and the bicycle shed Trembling as your dreams came true You looked right into those blue eyes and knew It was love, and now you can't pretend You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend It's bad enough, she knows how you feel But she's not prepared to share you with the memory So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her If she begs you to? Ask yourself: Can you even deliver What she demands of you? Ask yourself now: Can you forgive her If she begs you to? And ask yourself: Can you even deliver What she demands of you? Or do you want revenge? But that's childish, so childish! You could do anything [x8] - West end girls

I double-cross you And you get mysterious mail I've tried hard not to shock you It's hard not to with the things I could say Tell me why don't we try Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves? Why don't we try Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves? You lock your letters in a box And you've hidden the key I go one better - I'm indebted To a contact magazine Tell me why don't we try Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves? Why don't we try Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for us? Everybody's got to live together Just to find a little peace of mind there If you give up your affairs forever I will give up mine But it's hard So hard I'm always hoping you'll be faithful But you're not, I suppose We've both given up smoking 'cause it's fatal So whose matches are those? Tell me why don't we try Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves? We make it so hard (It's so hard) Tell me why don't we try Not to break our hearts and make it so hard Tell me why don't we try Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?

Letra
At dead of night, when strangers roam The streets in search of anyone who'll take them home I lie alone, the clock strikes three And anyone who wanted to could contact me At dead of night, 'til break of day Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake It's much too late Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy I never knew time passed so slow I wish I'd never met you, or that I could bear to let you go At dead of night, 'til break of day Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake It's much too late Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy Where've you been? Who've you seen? You didn't phone when you said you would! Do you lie? Do you try To keep in touch? You know you could I've tried to see your point of view But could not hear or see For jealousy I never knew 'til I met you - Dj Culture

Take my hand, I've changed my mind again Really, I believed it true That all who fell in love were foolish But I was wrong, I've learned that lesson well All the way back home at midnight You were sleeping on my shoulder Take my hand, Don't think of obligations Now, right now, Your love is liberation To free in me The trust, I never dared I always thought the risk too great But suddenly, I don't hesitate, so Take my hand, Don't think of complications Now, right now, Your love is liberation Liberation Ta ra ra ra ra ra Ta ra ra ra ra ra The night, the stars Our light shone through the dark All the way back home at midnight You were sleeping on my shoulder Take my hand, Don't think of hesitation Now, right now, Your love is liberation Liberation Ta ra ra ra ra ra Ta ra ra ra ra ra Ta ra ra ra ra ra Back home at midnight All the way back home at midnight - Paninaro 95
