For your own good
call me tonight
Don't you think you should
call me tonight?
Life isn't easy
so why don't you stay
with the lover you need
and not the devil you pay?
For your own good
call me tonight

For your own good
call me tonight
Don't you think I could
make a difference tonight?
When you need a lover
and it's so cold outside
I could help you recover
from pain that you hide
Life isn't easy
so why don't you stay
with the lover you need
and not the devil you pay?
For your own good
call me tonight

Come on, call me

Call me tonight
I'll make you feel good
Come on, call me
Come on, call me
Call me tonight
I'll make you feel good
Want your body
Want your body

Come on, call me
Come on, call me

For your own good
call me tonight

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me hope
Give me all your love
Tell me now
You're coming home tonight
Have some faith
In the love we share
Is it fate?
Does darkness end in light?

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Where'd you go?
Did you lose your way?
Tell me now
You're coming back to stay
In my hopes
Paradise is real
Horoscopes
Can't forecast how we'll feel

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me hope
Give me hope

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me hope
Give me hope

Did you get what you want?
Do you know what it is? Do you care?
Is he better than me?
Was it your place or his? Who was there?
Did you think it was wrong?
Do you find that it's worse than it was?
Has it gone on too long?
Do you mind that it hurts me? Because....
You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more

You're breaking my heart

Was it cracking the code or just filling in time?
Was that all?
So then why'd you go back to the scene off the crime?
Did he call?
Shall I take further blame or another assault on how it was?
Then we'll get to the fact that it's always my fault, just because..... You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more.....

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want

I don't know what you want but I can give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can give it any more
You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want but I can give it any more
I don't know what you want but I can give it any more...

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want....

It is not easy
It is not easy

Looking from a window
at the back of a house
at the edge of a town
It's grey
like the day
when I lost it
Clouds overhead
I talked to a flower
that was almost dead
My body a prison
why did I do it?
Someone told me not to
but I still went through it

It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

Needed somewhere to clear my head
find some strength
a warmer bed
Maximum love in a minimal world
I'd never achieved it
but then I believed it
so when I lost it - how?
I'm not sure now -
it was a strange feeling
like a law repealing itself

It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
But don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

I can wake up in the morning
and not believe what I see
Look in the mirror
And think if that's really me
I don't think I suit my face
It's not a catastrophe
it's more a philosophy
like the Russians wondering why
we're born under a blue sky
but die in a dark forest

Is is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

This is neither old nor new
It's always, forever
Somewhere between sense and ambition
pleasure and decision
we have to make a choice
What do we want?
Everyone singing 'War, what is it good for?'
while planning the next one?
I don't need to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

It is not easy
the war within us
but it gets easier
the more we learn
I don't need to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
happiness is an option

It not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
I don't have to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

What a performance tonight
Should I react or turn off the light?
Looks like you're picking a fight
In a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood changes
You're a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn
And silent as a monk
You only tell me you love me
When you're drunk

It's better than nothing,
I suppose some doors have opened, others closed
But I can't see you exposed
To the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said: listen, don't you know what you're missing?
You should be kissing him instead of dissing him like a punk
But you only tell me you love me when you're drunk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

All of my friends keep asking me
Why, oh, why
Do you not say goodbye?
If you don't even try you'll be sunk
‘Cause you only tell me you love me when you're drunk

What's the meaning when you speak with so much feeling?
Is it over when you're sober? Is it junk?
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

Brother it don't matter
Sister don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire, too

Sun in the kitchen
Boy you're still sleeping
When you get hungry
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire, too
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire, too

Night in the city
New Orleans pretty
Do what you want
And then can I do it to you
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire, too
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire, too
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire, too
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire, too

It's a reflex
Just a reflex
Like fear or sex

Brother it don't matter
Sister don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire, too
You're a vampire, I'm a vampire, too

Brother it don't matter
Sister don't worry
Brother it don't matter
Sister don't worry
Brother it don't matter
Sister don't worry
Brother it don't matter
Sister don't worry

In the air
(Radiophonic)
In the air
(Radiophonic)
In the air

The night was long
Now the crowd has gone
There's sunlight on my bed
Feels like a radiophonic workshop's
Beaming straight into my head
I could make you weep
I can't get to sleep
There's ringing in my ears
Like a radiophonic workshop
Orchestrating all my stupid fears

(Radiophonic)
I think I'm in love
(Radiophonic)
(Radiophonic)
I think I'm in love
(Radiophonic)

In the air

My skin is itching
I'm totally twitching
With the pounding in my head
Like a dud sub-sonic beat-box
Booming bass under the bed
My hands are shaking
My mind is aching
With a feeling deep inside
That you've been staring
Sending signals
Every time our paths collide

(Radiophonic)
I think I'm in love
(Radiophonic)
(Radiophonic)
I think I'm in love
(Radiophonic)

Think I'm in love
In the air

(Radiophonic)
I think I'm in love
(Radiophonic)
(Radiophonic)
I think I'm in love
(Radiophonic)

Think I'm in love

(Radiophonic)

I think of you
and wonder who
you are and what's your line
I wonder if
there's someone else
or if it's true that I'm
the only one
in your life
I only worry
for your sake
I don't know much about
the deals you make
There's so much that
you hide from me
The mystery:
am I the only one?
The only one?

(The only one
The only one
The only one)

I don't know you
You don't know me
I wonder what we share
It's just that now
and then you smile
and suddenly I know you care
and I'm the only one
for a while
Though you've many reasons
to tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be
for you and you for me
the only one

(The only one
Only one)

As enigmatic
as you can be
I'm not suspicious
naturally
There's so much that
you hide from me
The mystery:
am I the only one
in your life?

Though you've many reasons
to tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be
for you and you for me
the only one

See Boy Strange on the
horizon of love
He's calling to you
What do you say?

See Boy Strange as an
example of youth
so close to the truth
but still far away

And he's such a strange boy
will he make a good
exchange for
the one before a closed door
that you left behind?

When you realise that this boy
is strange
it's too late to change
your point of view

He's often there when the
sun meets the sky
with a perfect alibi
unlike you

And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good
exchange for
the one before a closed door
that you left behind?

To talk of common sense is a
complete waste of time
His looks are a crime
bound to commit

In the eyes of the world he's
a borderline fool
both naive and cruel
Why would you inflict
him on you?

In denial, no
my life's a trial
I'm not denying
that every little bit hurts
It's a problem
that I'm not solving
Don't mind admitting
I feel like quitting this job
for a while, getting away
before it gets any worse today

You're in denial
and that is final
You're not admitting
you should be quitting
all these
queens and fairies
and muscle Marys
the rough trade boyfriend
who in his pathetic own way
denies he's gay
Why can't you see?
This is a fantasy world

Think I'm going mad
How d'you know if you're
going mad?

Look at me I'm lonely

Look at me I'm sad

I'm not denying
I could be trying
a little harder
to deal with some of this stuff

Know what I'm thinking?
Less drugs and drinking
No cigarettes and you'd feel
a little less rough

Is that enough?
My life is absurd, I'm living it
upside down
like a vampire, working at
night, sleeping all day
A dad with a girl who knows
he's gay

New York City boy
You’ll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

When you're a boy, some days are tough
Lying on your bed playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp you gotta escape
Wanna go and wander in the ticker tape

You feel, the deal, is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy
You’ll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy

The street is amazing
The hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware at the latest deal
Hear a song, that’s the bomb
If you don’t get that mix it’s gone 86

You feel, the deal, is real
you're in New York City

New York City boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

Then as evening falls
You can return it’s calls

Party on, party on, party on, p-party on)

You feel, the deal, is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy (New York City)

Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

(You’ll never have a bored day, New York City)
'Cause your a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

Whenever trouble comes around
or lonely nights lead underground
and far in the dark
abandoned cars suddenly start up
an anxious sound
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

When loneliness induces fear
like waves against a ramshackle pier
When thunder and rain
scar the windowpane once again
I want you near
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need

I'm longing to see you
I want you, I need you

Like a child who feels afraid
of the dark at night
hoping to hear a gentle touch
turning on a welcome light
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need
As long as I hear your footsteps in the dark
that's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
