Wet Wet Wet Album

I was living in a world of make believe
When my best friend wrote and told me
That there may be a job in the city
And you never told me

He would dream about another scheme
About another sordid hall of dreams
About a man who's king of industry
He would swear by his mouth almighty
He would buy the best
But never something new
And he never told me

I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
Oh I like kicking in the gutter
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

It's the only life I know
Lie, lie, lie is all you ever do
To make me want to push on through
Cry, cry, cry cry is all I ever do
Say that's how you want to make me push on through

I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
Oh I like kicking in the gutter
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

My best friend wrote and told me so
He said that there may be a job in the city

I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
I was wishing I was lucky

Hey son go, hey son go, to the city

Gotta gotta know
I see the sun in your eyes
Let me take your hand
And we'll go to wonderland
Bet you've asked silly questions
Like do I still love you
Better than eating, honey

Cos you're the girl from the east of the river

They all went mad on the way out west end
But we've all bet our bottom dollar
That my archfull flame
Will win you over
Cos I'm the lie
That tells the truth

Cos you're the girl from the east of the river

Where all the grass is greener
And out pockets
Are all paved with gold
Please turn to gold
Please return to old east of the river
But it won't work with nobody but you

Cos you're the girl from the east of the river

Should have known better
I should have known better

How I long for those warm summer nights
Of playing the fool and getting uptight
Crush my precious wish to the ground
You have a sunshine taste of forgive and forget

I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
You've touched my heart, my soul and everything
I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
Please help me

Looking back at what we had
Say I still want you so much
Loving you for just one reason
Loving you for just one season
Means you're required for desire

I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
You've touched my heart, my soul and everything
I remember having all the love to give
I remember a precious kiss upon my loving lips
Please help me

Loving you, loving you, loving you
Please, please help me
And I try, and I try, and I try to act naturally

I pay the price for cheap advice

Sick of leaving in the morning
With the night you gave away
So now I'm gonna take that all that I can get
With those angel eyes
You make saints do sins all the time

Say I'm gonna stay, home and away, well well,
When I said I'd catch you when you're falling
I'd have my heart open wide
And you who's not naive I thought
Say I thought I'd mend my heart

People say I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
When I'm down I'm in manual, lord
And time on time again I walk on by
With the look of love

And with those angel eyes, woh woh
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes, woh woh
C'mon now baby

The saddest thing I've ever seen on my tv screen
Was a dying man who died for his dream
Toughest thing I've ever heard
Was that new-born scream in this naked world

People say I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
When I'm down I'm in manual, lord
And time on time again I walk on by
With the look of love

And with those angel eyes, woh woh
You set me on fire baby
And with those angel eyes, woh woh
C'mon now baby

Say I'm gonna stay home and away
Show a little loving that'll make you shine girl
Say I'm gonna stay home and away

People say that I'm so automatic
People say I'm not so systematic
When I'm down I'm in manual, lord
Been all around those edges
But ain't never been in love
Ain't never been in love before babe
Never been in love
Never been in love

Set me on fire, baby

And with those angel eyes, woh woh
Set me on fire, fire

And with those angel eyes, woh woh
Set me on fire, fire

My love has taken a tumble
Oh, but I'm still standing
You're such a natural, sing,
That's what you are

Say I wouldn't steer you wrong now baby
I wouldn't steer you wrong

It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try

Didn't I come resisting this sight of wonder
Didn't I come insisting the higher decision
Didn't I come resisting this sight of wonder
To your life

Say I wouldn't steer you wrong now baby
I wouldn't steer you wrong

It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try

Oh, just think of the magic ooh-ooh
Don't think it is tragic, hey hey hey
Just think of the magic

Come on listen

My love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble
My love has taken a tumble
But I'm still standing

It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try
It's just that sweet little mystery
That makes me try, try, try, try

Come on listen
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try

You, you, you were my first love
You, you were my last
And I was coming on strong, coming on strong,
Coming on strong
I could feel the love, I could feel your love
Coming through your heart
What did you do with your attitude blues
To make you feel alright

They'll make you, they'll break you
They'll put you back together
Again and again and again and again
I don't believe that the price isn't high enough
I just don't believe

There ain't no mountain high enough,
There ain't even a mountain
Just put your hands together
For the sake of sonny's letter
It's a crime, it's a sign, it's a time,
It's a fine, it's your daily dime
So just put your hands together
For God sakes sonny's letter

They'll make you, they'll break you
They'll put you back together
Again and again and again and again

I don't believe that the price isn't high enough
I just don't believe

No I don't believe
I don't believe we can't do the streets

You, you, you were my first love
You, you were my last
And I was coming on strong, coming on strong

They'll make you, they'll break you
They'll put you back together
Again and again and again and again
I don't believe that the price isn't high enough
We don't believe

When the big guns start to shooting
With their bullets of deception
With the smile upon your face
Going from second hand to almost new
Well I try to live life eye to eye
But I say I find it far too tall

Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
Cos you give me, you give me
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation

Sing along, sing along baby
Sing along for the love of the children

And if this was to be true
Say I'd give all the tea in china
And maybe, all the tulips
In amsterdam

Well I try to live life eye to eye
But I say I find it far too tall

Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
Cos you give me, you give me
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation

First you make me move
Until I'm so damn close
Take me back again, take me back again
Say I'm mighty thankful
But it's much too easy
Paying dues and learning vices
But no, but no, but oh no
You won't waste my angry spirit

Show me one more sign
Give me one more time
Cos you give me, give me
You gimme, gimme, gimme temptation

I want peace, love and understanding
To last throughout my life

Sing along, sing along baby
Sing along for the love of the children

Hurry won't you hurry

Light my eye with your smile
Cross my palm with your thought
For the hand that meets the eye
Brings you closer to my mind
Cos in one crowded hour
You plan to make all the moments
(plan to make all the moments)
Last a lifetime

I can give you everything
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
That I want to give

All alone in the heat of the night
Say come on lets be strong
Kindle my soul
For you are my pride and joy

For it is precious
Sing rejoice, sing rejoice
For I bring you good tidings

I can give you everything
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
That I want to give

All washed up and dirty
I had no place to go
I had no place to go
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
I can give you everything
That I want

Come on with your everything

The moment you left me
I suffered the whole night long
That's where I go wrong
And that's where you go wrong
When I've got a problem
Say I'll talk to the whole wide world
Yes I will, yes I will

I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna squeeze you
I'm gonna do all the things
That I forgot to do

Thinking about my saviour with a smile
Oh she can talk about chasing
The heart in me away
Tell me, tell me
Is that where she goes wrong

I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna squeeze you
I'm gonna do all the things
That I forgot to do

Now that I've made the right solution
I think that I've found the right resolution
Heaven knows where you go

I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna squeeze you
I'm gonna do all the things
That I forgot to do

Some stupid things thrill a lot of my life
Like the feeling I want to get to know you better

If you're in my heart
Say I could and you would
But you might and you shouldn't
No I can't go on
Singing this love isn't strong

Until I seek your words of wisdom
Until I seek your words of wisdom

You may wear your heart on your sleeve
But vicious lies only tease me
Every eye open is not seeing
Every eye closed

If you're in my heart
Say I could and you would
But you might and you shouldn't
No I can't go on singing this love isn't strong

Until I seek your words of wisdom
Until I seek your words of wisdom

Treat me wrong
Treat me right
Do me now baby
Tell me lies, but oh hold me tight

Save your goodbyes for the morning light
Lord I don't wanna be lonely tonight

Come and say hello
Come and say goodbye
Sure good enough to see you
Apart when it's time to go

Don't say ends, but but but please
Don't say lord I don't wanna be lonely tonight

Gonna whale down your ha heart
I'm gonna do as you please
Gonna do as you please, girl
You ain't gonna see me getting down on my knees

Cos my heart has been divided, ooh
And my souls been excited
You've been turning my world upside down
More baby

Come and say hello
Come and say goodbye
Sure good enough to see you
Apart when it's time to go

Don't say ends, but but but please
Don't say lord I don't wanna be lonely tonight

Oh babe

I don't wanna be lonely tonight
I don't wanna be lonely tonight
Woh woh, I don't wanna be lonely tonight

Woh, check it out
Check it out

Some stupid things
Mean a lot in my life
Like the feeling like that I want to now ya.
Like the feeling like that I want to now ya.

If you're in my heart
Say I could and I would be strong, man
Say I could and I would be strong, man

World in another
I was trapped within
A world within another
World in another
Say I was trapped within
A world within another

And is it true?
You better believe it honey
Better believe it honey

But you may wear your heart
Upon your sleeve
But vicious lies only tease, tease
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Every eye open was not see
Every eye closed is not sleeping
This is true
Every eye open was not seeing

World in another
I was trapped within
A world within another

Oh and is it very true
That we can have a fine romance
Is it very true
That we can have a fine romance
Is it very true
That we can have a fine romance

A fine romance, let me hear it, let me hear it.

Ooh, check it out

World, world, world, world. world in another
World, world, world, there's a world within another

World in another
I was trapped within
A world within another
It's a world
Made for one another
You better believe it honey

I was living in a world of make believe
When my best friend wrote and told me
That there may be a job in the city
And you never told me

He would dream about another scheme
About another sordid hall of dreams
About a man who's king of industry

He would buy the best
But never something new
And he never told me

I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
Oh I like kicking in the gutter
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

It's the only life I know
Lie, lie, lie is all you ever do
To make me want to push on through
Cry, cry, cry cry is all I ever do
Say that's how you want to make me push on through

I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
Oh I like kicking in the gutter
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky

My best friend wrote and told me so
He said that there may be a job in the city

I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
I was wishing I was lucky

Hey son go, hey son go, to the city
