  • -----------------------
  • Another night with open eyes
  • Too late to sleep, too soon to rise
  • You're short of breath, is it a heart attack?
  • Hot and feverish you face the fact
  • You're in love, and it feels like shame
  • Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again
  • You're in love, and it feels like pain
  • Because you know there's too much truth in everything she claims
  • So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
  • If she wants you to?
  • Ask yourself: Can you even deliver
  • What she demands of you?
  • You drift into the strangest dreams
  • Of youthful follies and changing teams
  • Admit you're wrong, oh, no, not yet
  • Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget
  • She's made you some kind of laughing stock
  • Because you dance to disco, and you don't like rock
  • She'd make fun of you, and even in bed
  • Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead
  • So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
  • If she begs you to?
  • Ask yourself: Can you even deliver
  • What she demands of you?
  • Or do you want revenge?
  • But that's childish, so childish!
  • (But that's childish, so childish!)
  • Remember when you were more easily led
  • Behind the cricket pavillion and the bicycle shed
  • Trembling as your dreams came true
  • You looked right into those blue eyes and knew
  • It was love, and now you can't pretend
  • You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend
  • It's bad enough, she knows how you feel
  • But she's not prepared to share you with the memory
  • So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
  • If she begs you to?
  • Ask yourself: Can you even deliver
  • What she demands of you?
  • Ask yourself now: Can you forgive her
  • If she begs you to?
  • And ask yourself: Can you even deliver
  • What she demands of you?
  • Or do you want revenge?
  • But that's childish, so childish!
 
  • ---------------------
  • Ask me why,
  • I say it's most unusual
  • How can I even try to explain
  • Why today I feel like dancing
  • Singing like lovers sing
  • When I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing?
  • I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
  • Ask me when, (ta ra ra ra)
  • I say it started when I met you (ta ra ra ra ra ra)
  • And ever since then I knew that the past couldn't last
  • For right now, I think I'm running
  • A race that I know I'm gonna win
  • And I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
  • I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
  • If people say I'm crazy, I tell 'em that it's true
  • Let them watch with amazement
  • Say it won't last beyond breakfast
  • It's a phase he's going through
  • Denigrate or speculate on what I'm going through
  • Because it isn't the sort of thing I would normally do
  • Ask me what, (ta ra ra ra)
  • I say I think it's good for you (ta ra ra ra ra)
  • Believe it or not, I know where it's all leading to
  • I feel like taking all my clothes off
  • Dancing to the Rite of Spring
  • And I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
  • I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing
  • I wouldn't normally do this kind of -
  • This kind of thing

  • Take my hand,
  • I've changed my mind again
  • Really, I believed it true
  • That all who fell in love were foolish
  • But I was wrong,
  • I've learned that lesson well
  • All the way back home at midnight
  • You were sleeping on my shoulder
  • Take my hand,
  • Don't think of obligations
  • Now, right now,
  • Your love is liberation
  • To free in me
  • The trust, I never dared
  • I always thought the risk too great
  • But suddenly, I don't hesitate, so
  • Take my hand,
  • Don't think of complications
  • Now, right now,
  • Your love is liberation
  • Liberation
  • Ta ra ra ra ra ra
  • Ta ra ra ra ra ra
  • The night, the stars
  • Our light shone through the dark
  • All the way back home at midnight
  • You were sleeping on my shoulder
  • Take my hand,
  • Don't think of hesitation
  • Now, right now,
  • Your love is liberation
  • Liberation
  • Ta ra ra ra ra ra
  • Ta ra ra ra ra ra
  • Ta ra ra ra ra ra
  • Back home at midnight
  • All the way back home at midnight
 
  • ----------------------------
  • When I'm sitting so close to you
  • There's only one thing that I wanna do
  • But I know what you're likely to say
  • That I'm going about it the wrong way
  • We can't agree about anything
  • Where to go or even where we've been
  • And I know what you're likely to do
  • Say that I've never cared about you
  • And all I wanted to say was that I love you
  • But you tell me now you don't believe it's true
  • You got a different, a different
  • A different point of view
  • You got a different
  • Point of view
  • You don't believe a single word I say
  • If I'd say black was white, you'd say it was grey
  • But in spite of being treated this way
  • I still dream of you all night and day
  • And all I wanted to say was that I love you
  • But you tell me now you don't believe it's true
  • You got a different, a different
  • A different point of view
  • You got a different
  • Point of view
  • Just this once
  • Just say yes
  • Please
  • You've got a clever way of haunting me
  • I'm never scared, but you're still daunting me
  • 'Cause I know what you're likely to say
  • And I know that you'll get your own way
  • And all I wanted to say was that I love you
  • But you tell me now you don't believe it's true
  • You got a different, a different
  • A different point of view
  • You got a different
  • Point of view
  • You got a different, a different
  • A different point of view
  • You got a different
  • Point of view

  • Dreaming of the Queen
  • Visiting for tea
  • You and her and I
  • And Lady Di
  • The Queen said: ";I'm aghast
  • Love never seems to last
  • However hard you try";
  • And Di replied
  • That there are no more lovers left alive
  • No one has survived
  • So there are no more lovers left alive
  • And that's why love has died
  • Yes, it's true
  • Look, it's happened to me and you
  • Then carriages arrived
  • We stood and said goodbye
  • Diana dried her eyes
  • And looked surprised
  • For I was in the nude
  • The old Queen disapproved
  • But people laughed and asked
  • For autographs
  • And there were no more lovers left alive
  • No one had survived
  • So there were no more lovers left alive
  • And that's why love had died
  • Yes, it's true
  • Look, it's happened to me and you
  • I woke up in a sweat
  • Desolate
  • For there were no more lovers left alive
  • No one had survived
  • So there were no more lovers left alive
  • And that's why love had died
  • Yes, it's true
  • Look, it's happened to me and you

  • Darling, you were wonderful, you really were quite good
  • I enjoyed it, though, of course, no one understood
  • A word of what was going on, they didn't have a clue
  • They couldn't understand your sense of humour like I do
  • You're much too kind
  • I smiled with murder on my mind
  • Yesterday, when I was mad
  • And quite prepared to give up everything
  • Admitting, I don't believe
  • In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me
  • You have a certain quality, which really is unique
  • Expressionless, such irony, although your voice is weak
  • It doesn't really matter 'cause the music is so loud
  • Of course it's all on tape, but no one will find out
  • You hated me too
  • But not as much as I hated you
  • Yesterday, when I was mad
  • And quite prepared to give up everything
  • Admitting, I don't believe
  • In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me
  • Then, when I was lonely
  • I thought again
  • And changed my mind
  • Then we posed for pictures with the competition winners
  • And argued about the hotel rooms, and where to go for dinner
  • And someone said: ";It's fabulous you're still around today,
  • You've both made such a little go a very long way";
  • Yesterday, when I was mad
  • And quite prepared to give up everything
  • Admitting, I don't believe
  • In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me
  • Yesterday, when I was mad
  • And quite prepared to give up everything
  • Admitting, I don't believe
  • In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me
  • Then, when I was lonely
  • I thought again
  • And changed my mind

  • Below shop windows
  • Upon the pavement
  • Where you wave goodbye
  • Boys and girls
  • Come to roost
  • From Northern parts
