Just you know why Why you and I Will by and by Know true love ways Sometimes we'll sigh Sometimes we'll cry And you know why Just you and I know true love ways Throughout the days Our true love ways Will bring us joys to share With those who really care Som...

You've been taught that this won't do They put me in the picture but the film turned blue A glimpse of you, Turning The Town Red. A head full of brand new words and a mouth full of shocks You're a big boy now, with a face to stop clocks. Turning the Town Red....

You say you don't desire me You only tire me Now you'll hire me Expensive care is meaningless Feeling nothing and caring less Cut off at the pass She knows where you're headed She wants double time Or a temporary wedding Chorus: And the lucky girl leads a lif...

Twenty five fingers baby I love your nails I love your touch I love to touch you baby It never fails to kill me Some say gimme five But I'll give you ten You could make it twenty But you're holding out again Think it over think it over baby Well think it ove...

Why are we racing to be so old? I'm up late pacing the floor I won't be told You have your reservations I'm bought and sold I'll face the music I'll face the facts Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks Bowing and squawking Running after titbits...

Upon a veil of midnight blue There hung a crescent moon To light the view But I don't whisper the words When the moment arose I wonder how he knows You say your tongue is tied Your words escape and hide But he's so patient and kind He's prepared to read your m...

Is it all in that pretty little head of yours? What goes on in that place in the dark? Well, I used to know a girl And I could have sworn That her name was Veronica Well, she used to have a carefree mind of her own And a delicate look in her eye These days, I...

The man from the television crawled into the train. I wonder who he's gonna stick it in this time. Everyone was looking for a little entertainment, so they'll probably pull his hands off when they find out his name. And then they shut down the power all along...

Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price. I'm throwing the dice in the air. Why must we learn it the hard way And play the game of life with our hearts? I gave you my life, you gave me your life. Like a gush of wind in my hair. Why do we forget what's been s...

Don't say a word Don't say anything Don't say a word I'm not even listening I read in the paper about their escape They're just two bit of kids from a bunch of sour grapes You better watch your step Watch who's knocking on your front door Now you know that th...

Take off your shoes, hang up your wings Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug Savor the things that sobriety brings Drain in the last from a jug But when I hit the bottle, there's no tellin' what I'll do 'Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black...

We oughta be ashamed We oughta be ashamed We use and abuse such a wonderful name See the blooming of the flowers When the spring first appears Hear the crying of the baby In its first tender years Watch the flight of the robin When he knows winter's through...

The movies save on conversation And the TV saves on sight We met in a head-on collision So I would say our chances would be slight You can lead and I will follow See us dancing cheek to cheek You'll remember me tomorrow But you won't give a damn by Wednesday W...

Weird nightmare You haunt my every dream Weird nightmare Tell me what's your scheme? Can it be that you're a part Of a lonely broken heart? Weird nightmare Why must you torment me? Weird nightmare Pain and misery In a heart that's loved and lost Take away the...

Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired and you can have anyone that you have ever desired, all you gotta tell me now is why, why, why, why. Welcome to the workin' week. Oh I know it don't thrill you, I hope it don't kill you. Welcome...

You appeared when I was lost in reverie If this is not a dream, it's my mistake And now I lie in wait for dawn to break I'm fairly sure I'm wide awake Pardon me, if I seem distant and strange Just tell me when did I stop dreaming? Let me get this straight Did...

Every single time It becomes too much There's nothing I can say Or I can touch But the glory is, as it comes passing through, I know I will be there When green eyes turn blue It's the same for me Time appears to teach There is nothing quite beyond our reach W...
