I'll pull your leg if you pull mine I'll laugh at your jokes if you laugh at mine Ha-ha-ha...

Hey-hey! ok whose the wise guy? I'm just a practical kind of joker, just a joker I'm just a practical kind of joker, regular bloke yeah Ha-ha-ha... whoo-ooh Hey killjoy! Do you remember the time your cigarette stuck in the gap in your front teeth and I put it out with the fire extinguisher and a cup of hot coffee?

She's obsessed you can tell by the way she's dressed what she want is anybody's guess she lives in a dream, oh she [chorus 1:] can't see the forest for the trees can't see the water for the stormy seas she don't understand, she got a one track mind A one track mind deep in your heart, there are some parts sharing her loneliness whoa-oh-oh sleep(?) for desire, love is for hire all she thinks about is sex One track mind... There he goes following the end of his nose he's following her on tippy-toes oh just watch him go - fizz-pop-whizz-bang! One of the few possesses a very loose ? I'm(?) only good(?), one part of you he thinks he's my broges(?) [chorus 2:] can't see the forest for the trees can't see the water for the stormy seas He don't understand, he got a one track mind A one track mind deep in their hearts, there are some parts sharing their loneliness whoa-oh-oh shake and define, there is no line this is one hell of a mess whoa-oh-oh live for desire, love is for hire all they think about is sex One track mind... One track mind... One of a kind, clearly defined, one track mind She got a one, one, one track mind It's spinning around, lost and found, one track mind A one track mind, a one track mind, a one track mind, a one track mind. A one track mind. -----back to top-------------------------------------- Lovesick Caught up in a haze of loneliness In the pursuit of happiness Ain't it just like you, it's just like me. Love is obsession, lovers pine always working against the brain but it's always there, there for always Deserted in the ruins, of your own building it seems like there's no hope of repair(?) Standing in the rubble, no roof above you no walls around you to keep the world at bay [chorus 1:] (needle around the tear)? I need an elixir I'm feeling lovesick (needle around the tear)? I need an elixir to fix the light No way out of this nothingness Nothing can replace the emptiness But it's just like you, it's just like me Oh-oh Love is a poison in my veins A part of me that waxes and waves But it's inside of you, inside of me Amidst the devastation, or was it sabotage concrete foundations - all that remains Standing in the rubble, no roof above you No walls around you to keep the world at bay [chorus 2:] (needle around the tear) ? I need an elixir I'm feeling lovesick (needle around the tear)? I need an elixir to fix the light Hold on to your love, hold on to your love Hold on to your love - it's all that you've got [repeated...] lovesick. -----back to top----------------------------------- True Or False? Sometimes I look forward to, finding the line Pulling it in to find, there is no end to time Waiting for judgement day, Marching away Staring into our face I can see Human race bent on destruction But I believe in reconstruction Is it true, or false is it true, or false, Tell me someone please, cause I need to know I see good ol' Thomas Edison Science and medicine There goes Albert Einstein Never learn their lesson Fuel to the flame Since man discovered Fire It will be the same, always the same. For all time... whoa lunchtime... for all time Sometimes I look backwards to Dig up the past Finding myself in the dark Heading nowhere, fast And sometimes we still fail to see Beyond the heart what was is and will always be worries me oh my I turn the pages the hands of time, the dust of ages Is it true, or false is it true, or false, Tell me someone please, cause I need to know I see the whole world, tossing and turning the whole world, killing and burning the whole world, never learning All the land will ?? ? sight of blood there goes Issac Newton We never learn our lesson -----back to top------------------------------------ More People are also wanting all the things they never had temptation mixes up hello, hello, hello when you're ? You don't want no boy? Everybody's singing give me some more - I want some more give me some more - got to have some more gimme some more - just a little bit more It can't always be christmas You can never get to ? There's no such word as 'ample', for example The housewife wants more gadgets The russians want the world Everybody's wanting So much more of this A little bit more of that There's so much more than there is There's so much more There's so much more of this A little bit more of that There's so much more.... ? some more... some more, I want some more gimme some more - got to have some more gimme some more - just a little bit More of this A little bit more of that There's so much more than there is There's so much more There's so much more of this A little bit more of that There's so much more....

[12] I'm bleeding to death On the cloudiest day Three-four-five beat A-waltzing away I'm counting the beat, two-three-four-five I'm feeling the heat, glad to be alive I'm counting the beat, six-seven-eight-nine I'm wishing that you, that you were mine Think about you, you think about me Think about you, counting the beat Thinking about you, thinking about me Thinking about you, thinking about me thinking about you ? think about, just you and me la-dah-da-de, there ain't no place I'd rather be la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da, la-da-de-da...

Shake around, jump & jive Hang five, do the dive Twishing and swinging, keep on dancing It ain't what you dance it's the way you dance it It ain't what you move it's the way you move it It ain't what you dance it's the way you dance it It ain't what you groove it's the way you groove it Ooh Yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah! -----back to top------------------------------------- Ayatollah The Shah of Iran, he ran from terror People's revolution taking over th land It wasn't always like that There's a new superman - Ayatollah Khomeini Put a spell on Iran - a dark eye genie Oh Ayatollah man - he rules the way He's got a head the size of Hitler And they call him Ayatollah He's just another Mussolini And his name is Khomeini I'm singing ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini ay-oh-oh tollah Khomeini Aye-oh-aye He does what he does in the name of religion There are no answers, there are no questions Makes his own rules, just another dictator A game for fools of the gambling nature Oh Ayatollah man - he rules the way He's got a head the size of Hitler And they call him Ayatollah He's just another Mussolini And his name is Khomeini I'm singing ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini ayah, Aya-tollah Khomeini ay-oh-oh tollah Khomeini Aye-oh-aye Ayatollah, Ayatollah, Ayatollah, Khomeini! kho-kho-kho-meini He's got a head the size of Hitler And the call him Ayatollah He's just another Admiral Tojo and this is how the song goes singing ayah, Aya-tollah [etc...] -----back to top-------------------------------------- Five O'clock Shadow Alarm bell rings, the kettle sings And you don't know what's happening The night before is just another blur The water's cold, the bread has mold How many times have you been told or, is it simply never occurred Can't get no job 'Cos you look like a slob They took one look at you Get out of my life!
