Hay una discoteca por acqui?
I don뭪 speak the language
I can뭪 understand a word
Where angels fear to tread
I뭭e sometimes walked and tried to talk
but how can I be heard
in such a world when I am lost?
I뭢 doing what I do to see me through
I뭢 going out and carrying on as normal
Hay una discoteca por acqui?
Te quiero? Entiende usted? Digame
Cuanto tiempo tengo que esperal?
I don뭪 speak in anger
though the chances that I뭭e let
pass me by and now regret
I can뭪 forget
They뭨e haunting me like a score of unpaid debts
Is it enough to live in hope
that one day we뭠l be free without this fear?
I뭢 going out and carrying on as normal
Hay una discoteca por acqui?
Te quiero? Entiende usted? Digame
Cuanto tiempo tengo que esperal?
They call this a community

Arriving at the airport

Ordering a boarding pass
Travelling in business class
This is the name of the game

Please allow me and try to explain
I뭢 living proof that man can change
I knew what I wanted
I knew how to get it
It didn뭪 make me happy
so I started again
What I wanted to be was a family man
but nature had some alternative plans
So I did without the lot put emotion on hold
and my instincts would do what they were told
I wanna know yeah I wanna know
But every now and then
often at night a particular feeling
would surface in spite of what I뭗 told myself
and tried to deny I kept on asking the question: why?
I wanna know yeah I wanna know
You grow up and experience
this is a total metamorphosis.
It뭩 all about change
It뭩 a metamorphosis
With time and age I had to change
멵ause my behavior was getting strange
People on the street caught my eye
and I began to think I might be their kind of guy
The long-term suppression of an adolescent urge
was in retreat and I was on the verge
of falling in love or having fun
Time was running out
Something had to be done
I wanna know yeah I wanna know
I wanna know yeah
Tell me what뭩 the reason
Where was I?
Laying down the law
dancing with the others down in the floor
Music and smoke what did it mean?
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I had what I wanted madly in love
Nothing else mattered
This was enough
Questions were answered
which used to perplex in particular
those about the big s.e.x.
I wanna know yeah I wanna know
I wanna know yeah
Tell me what뭩 the reason
Tell me what뭩 the reason
You grow up and experience
this is a total metamorphosis.
It뭩 all about love
It뭩 a metamorphosis
Dreaming is easy life is tough
I got the picture
The most important thing is not to
end up bitter 멵ause when you start
to feel increasingly forlorner-woomph!
Love comes round around the corner
It may not last but here am I
once a catepilar now a butterfly
It can seem strange
but when you reminisce
It뭩 all about change
It뭩 a metamorphosis
I wanna know yeah I wanna know
It뭩 all about love
It뭩 a metamorphosis
You grow up and experience
this is a total metamorphosis.
It뭩 all about change
It뭩 a metamorphosis
I wanna know yeah I wanna know
I wanna know yeah I wanna know
It뭩 all about change
It뭩 a metamorphosis
I wanna know yeah I wanna know
It뭩 all about love
It뭩 a metamorphosis
I뭢 an artist honey
you뭠l see me sometimes
making crazy pictures out of music and rhymes
Costume changes permorm with poise
Dancing in formation with a couple of boys
I take them on the road with my reel-to-reels
I뭢 an artist honey
You know how that feels?
It뭩 the greatest show with the best effects
since Disco-Tex and Sexelettes
It뭩 the greatest show with the best effects
since Disco-Tex and Sexelettes
It뭩 about wonder
the power to be like thunder
expressing electricity
It뭩 the greatest show with the best effects
since Disco-Tex and Sexelettes
Disco-Tex and Sexelettes
Call it performance call it art
I call it disaster if the tapes don뭪 start
I뭭e put all my live into live lip-sync
I뭢 an artist honey
You gonna get me a drink?
It뭩 the greatest show with the best effects

Come outside and see a brand new day

Come outside and feel the morning sun

The troubles in your mind will blow away

6. IT ALWAYS COMES AS A SURPRISE
I can뭪 be cool or nonchalant
Call me an impulsive fool
You뭨e all I want
You may be right
It뭩 too much to soon
to talk of love all night
in your bedroom
I don뭪 know why
it always comes as a surprise
to find I뭢 here with you
You smile and I am rubbing my eyes
at a dream come true
I won뭪 play games or waste your time
but I won뭪 feel ashamed to speak my mind
So just relax
Don뭪 question why for calculated facts
will not apply
I don뭪 know why
it always comes as a surprise
to find I뭢 here with you
You smile and I am rubbing my eyes
at a dream come true
In my life there뭭e been few
who뭭e affected me the way you do
(you do you do)
I뭠l tell no lies I won뭪 pretend
but if you뭭e a broken heart
I뭠l help it mend
I don뭪 know why
it always comes as a surprise
to find I뭢 here with you
You smile and I am rubbing my eyes
at a dream come true
Smile and I am rubbing my eyes
at a dream come true
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 there뭩 no one here to share
the flowers in the garden the wine
the Waiting for the Godot
and so much modern time?
All I want is what you want
I뭢 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
I뭢 always waiting for a red letter day
For something special somehow new
someone saying 멗 love you�
Baby I뭢 waiting for the red letter day
You can sneer or disappear behind a veneer
of self-control
But for all of those who don뭪 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
I뭢 always waiting for a red letter day
like Christmas morning
when you뭨e a kid
Admit you love me and you always did
Baby I뭢 hoping for that red letter day today
News in the city breaks without pity
Long after the war has ended
we're still in fatigues
Up against it
The higher you fly the further you fall
Up against it
Wondering why we fought after all
Such a cold winter with scenes
as slow as Pinter
Synchronise your watches
there's still time to kill
Up against it
Drinking this swill to sweeten the pill
Up against it
The more taht it hurts
the less that it works
Wrapped in nostalgia to queue for a show
Back to Trafalgar one kiss then I'll go
So deep in quicklime
the bones of an old crime
I knew a man who raked them over
He's still suffering
Up against it
Buried so deep
it gives me the creeps
Up against it
The longer you hate
the more that it grates
Up against it
Look left then right
an run for your Life
Up against it
The more that it hurts
the less that it works
Cross a windy bridge one winter night
Past Embankment Gardens
enter warmth and light
Face the music (it's never easy)
Forget the chill
Face the future (it's never easy)
Find the will
If live is worth living
it's got to be done
One might be forgiven
for thinking it's a life on the run
Many roads will cross through many lives
but somehow you survive
Look around
Picture what's in store
Is this the final edit
or is the subject now a bore?
Don't shrug your shoulders (it's always easy)
You can't ignore
that life is worth living
it's still worth a damn
One might be forgiven for thinking
it's something of a sham
Many words may make it sound contrived
but somehow we're alive
(The Survivors)
Our heads bowed
(The Survivors)
At memorials for other faces
in the crowd
Teachers and artists (it's never easy)
and Saturday girls in suits or sequins
(it's never easy)
or twinsets-and-pearls
If life is worth living
it's got to be run as a means of giving
not as a race to be won
Many roads will run through many lives
but somehow we'll arrive
Many roads will run through many lives
but somehow we'll survive
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 tears will haunt you
Deny them or regret
Some man 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 suspicios hell
It's happened before It's happened before
Coinciedence 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 It's happened before
By the cathedral into the sun
the pilgrims are singing
their journey done
i look at my short life
and thik of all the champagne
that I drink
with all the faces I know
and how much further can one go?
And if I decide to step aside
I will try to replay
to the feelings I hide
I look from my window
down to the square
at workers still queuing there
for market forces to provide
what history's so far denied
for a different kind of fate
than to labour long and always wait
And if I decide to step aside
I will try to return
to the person inside
Will I always need you?
Would you want me to?
Can you love me for good
the way you thought you could?
Or will spring bring rain
and summer burn?
Will tears at last precede
the turn from summer warmth
to sudden cold
as certainly as growing old?
And if I decide to step aside
I will try to forget all the tears
I'll have cried
I don't care what these comentators say
I swear I don't care
for what difference do they make?
I go where I go and I get there fast
Don't stop me
I know that it's not gonna last
Forever forever
(Saturday night Saturday night)
Forever forever
(Saturday night Saturday night)
I you see someone gorgeous
then you think am I in with a chance?
Should I try?
Buy a rink?
Or maybe it's too much
like hard work tonight
But if they look my way
I might alright
Forever forever
(Saturday night Saturday night)
Forever forever
(Saturday night Saturday night)
I go where I go and I get there fast
Don't stop me
I know that it's not gonna last
Forever forever
(Saturday night Saturday night)
Forever forever
(Saturday night Saturday night)
