This must be the place Second place in the human race Down in the basement Now I know what he meant Secondary modern But there won't be a problem till the girls go home This is the hand that you never shook You never gave me the chance that I took Secondary m...

I see those newly weds Their eyes wide and believing They bill and coo at the mention of Chez Nous Appearances can be deceiving It's just a door and a window Four walls and a roof But a home of your own would be shatterproof A door and a window Four walls and...

She May be the face I can't forget. A trace of pleasure or regret May be my treasure or the price I have to pay. She may be the song that summer sings. May be the chill that autumn brings. May be a hundred different things Within the measure of a d...

This love of mine is packed with stepping stone These shoes are made for walking in reverse In the dead of night, you tiptoe out and leave me all alone Putting on your satin slip-ons and your sultry French cologne. She's wearing shoes without heels. She's wal...

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 w...
