[No lyrics]

I'm through with love hangovers,
It's best that I stay sober.
No rolling in the clover,
No Gretna Green to Dover.
No honeymoon in Paris,
I only feel embarrassed
For the cool cats,
The tom kittens,
Both smitten by the love songs
That he's written.
Caught in the sights
Of a deadly sniper:
The magic piper of love.
The magic piper of love.
Of love, of love.

My girlfriend, she got blotto
Half cut in Santa's grotto.
It turns out he's a dirty old man.
The last place that I want to be,
Is sat up on his Christmas tree,
While playing his games of
Catch as catch can.
Cause he's a sweet talker,
A silent stalker.
All the savvy of a street walker.
More deadly than a horned viper:
The magic piper of love.
The magic piper of love.
Of love, of love.

He's a heart breaker,
A mover and a shaker:
The magic piper of love.

It's kinda hard to swallow,
You know you've gotta follow,
The magic piper of love.

Cause he's a city slicker,
An expert politicker:
The magic piper of love.

Of love, of love.
Of love, of love.
Of love, of love.

Youve given me a head start,
Im brewing up a brainstorm
And we leave the grunges far behind
In the quagmire of the unkempt mind

Cos it got no style,no elequence,no elegance,no sensuality
All it takes is common sense
For anyone to see

As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning

As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning

Youre throwing me a life line,
The way you looking so fine, sublime
From the youngsters whove just learned to shave
To the oldsters raving on the graves

Its the same old story,
Englands glory,
Claming back the Union Jack my arse
Got to prove it together now,
To counteract this class

As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning

As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning

You wont get far in a cable car
You reach the top, then you had to stop
When you jump back down to the underground
Youve a train to catch
Youve plans to hatch
So lift the latch on the clubhouse door,
Theres a thousand souls out on the floor

Keep Turning
And you keep on learning
And you keep on yearning
And you keep on burning

As world keeps turning,
you got to keep on learning
you got to keep on yearning
you got to keep on burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning
you got to keep on burning
Burning, burnign burning (to fade)

Well, don't get me wrong, I won't hurt myself
Back in the 80's, straight off the shelves
I even enrolled in the old school of cool
But how quickly I learned to be nobody's fool

Don't wanna live in an adidas world
With the adidas boys and the adidas girls
Don't wanna live in an adidas world
With the adidas boys and the adidas girls

I tried it once or twice, but let's not be wrong
You can't defeat the enemy by singing his song
Adi Dassler, have you heard the news?
Gonna stomp all over your three-stripe shoes

Don't wanna live in an adidas world
With the adidas boys and the adidas girls
Don't wanna live in an adidas world
With the adidas boys and the adidas girls

You've gotta kowtow to the corporate cow
To the new superpowers I respectfully bow
Adidas, Nike, I salute your name
But I've twisted my ankle, so I'm out of the game

Don't wanna live in an adidas world
With the adidas boys and the adidas girls
Don't wanna live in an adidas world
With the adidas boys and the adidas girls
Don't wanna live in an adidas world
With the adidas boys and the adidas girls
Don't wanna live in an adidas world
With the adidas boys and the adidas girls
