Well, you're standing on the corner flagging all the girls you see Now do like EC and let those ladies be You know that's wrong, man, you know that's wrong Boy, you better get control - that's how you got killed before That girl you just met who got a big guy...

We're all going on a summer holiday Vigilante's coming out to follow me. Heard somebody say they're out to collar me. Anybody wanna swallow me? It takes two to tumble. It takes two to tango. Speak up; don't mumble if you're in the combo. On the beat, on the...

Well I had a little feeling to have a big night And woke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite right I had to face the who am I and where is she and what did I do But worst of all I had to face the big light 'Cause the big light came through my wind...

Summertime withers as the sun descends He wants to kiss you. Will you condescend? Before you wake and find a chill within your bones Under a fine canopy of lover's dust and humourous bones Banish all dismay Extinguish every sorrow Eternity stinks, my darling...

I'm walking down Times Square in the Electric Daylight The sailors on shore leave stand out in their perfect white. I'm up here with my spying glass at the window of the world For better or for worse - it's a perverse universe, my love. Now I know, I should...

I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel A pastel-colored carriage in the air I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while A silly twist upon a childish dare Below I saw you whisper to another man Who held the lever that could bring me down He stopped t...

Life isn't a game won or tied Lost by either side Then some people's idea Of the straight and narrow didn't appeal to me If you were my life's companion As it seems you may turn out to be I'm contemplating How I hope I'll find you waiting At the very end of t...

The Demo of "DEPORTEE" has essentially the same lyrics as this earlier version of the song In the Arrivederci Roma nightclub, bar and grill Standing in the fibreglass ruins watching time stand still All your troubles you confess to another faceless backless dr...

It's the element within her Something under her skin That is shining out through the face of the girl Two sapphires and couple of rows of pearls It's just a part of it Like your fine tresses You know what my guess is La la la la la la la la la la la He was a...

I should open with a kiss For if you're reading this You must have opened up your case And found this letter where I placed it In between the silk and lace There were other clues Like your walking shoes But I still refused to believe That you were meant to be...

She used to be the flirting kind But the boy loved her anyway He made up his mind She said, What's a girl to do to be content? Use your imagination Time to experiment Make love like a punishment So they call her the flirting kind The flirting kind You better...

They took old Danny Boy for a ride From the arms of his bride to be Threw him into the murky waters By the dog biscuit factory Quick dry the tears and stifle cheers As he sinks just like a stone Footprints set in sentimental cement Now burden down his bones Le...

EVERYONE STOPPED WHEN SHE WALKED INTO THE ROOM Isn't this the greatest thing Everyone own up but nobody could touch her Isn't this the greatest thing PUNCH THE CLOCK keep boxing clever You'll be young enough for ever Isn't this the greatest thing Isn't this TH...

Trying to be too bad Trying to talk too tough Trying to jack the lad You'd think he'd had enough But he's not the man you'd think that he can be I just don't know why you can't see That he is only the imposter That he is only the imposter You've never been th...

I WAS COMMITTED TO LIFE AND THEN COMMUTED TO THE OUTSKIRTS With all the love in the world Living for thirty minutes at a time with a break in the middle for adverts But it's a wonderful world within these cinema walls WHERE A SHOWER OF AFFECTION BECOMES NIAGAR...

Beneath the turquoise pools and emerald jewels There lie the broken spines of seven ships The skulls of careless fools and coins of gold Pour from the banks that proffer puckered lips I am the king of all of you The timid land The unknown sea And all that lies...

Care of St. Ignatus House, Willoughby Drive Parrametta, New South Wales This fifth day of July In the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-Five Why must I always apologize Everytime that I sit down to write Through my own fault I may find You're no l...

There's a part of this feeling That I just cannot kill But the name of this thing is not love And I can't take a potion And I won't take a pill So it tortures me still But the name of this thing is not love Then you start entertaining Such a terrible thought...
