When you were collecting
For you sex appeal
He was in killing fields
Over you
You went and took away his self respect
Put him out like a cigarette
You blow

Don't bother coming home
You said all you've got to say
He can get with the girls again
'Cos he's a charming man
It's true
He can drink with the boys tonight
And have a fight alright
Then spew
You're history
You're history

Got your tits done
And moved out the very next day
All you left was the bill to pay
What a front
Could she not see that you're a righteous man
A gun in hand
Cupid stunned

He used to want your love
Now he wants you to go away
He can drink till he's comatosed
Yeah he rocks the most
Can't you see
He's got diamonds in his eyes tonight
Could give you quite a fright
No sympathy
You're history
You're history

Don't bother coming home
You said all you've got to say
He can get with the girls again
He's a charming man
It's true
He can drink with the boys all night
And have a fight alright
Then spew

He will drink till he's comatosed
Yeah he rocks the most
Can't you see
He's got diamonds in his eyes tonight
Could give you quite a fright
Yes siree
You're history

Sunday morning going slow
I'm talking to the radio
Clothes and records on the floor
The memories of the night before
Out in club land having fun
And now I'm hiding from the sun
Waiting for a visitor
Though no-one knows I'm here for sure

Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home

I think it's time to cook a meal
To fill the emptiness I feel
Spend my money going out
I've nothing in I'm left without
Clean my teeth and comb my hair
And look for something new to wear
And start the night life over again
Kid myself I'm having fun

I look out from my window view
There's really nothing else to do
Read a book maybe write a letter
Mother, things are getting better
Watch the mirror count the lines
The battle scars of all the good times
Look around and I can see
A thousand people just like me

Dancing laughing
Drinking loving
And now I'm all alone
In bedsit land
My only home
(x2)

Dancing, laughing, drinking, loving

I'm waiting for something
I'm only passing time

I'm lost again and I'm on the run
Looking for love in a sad song.
With your avenger eyes and your catlike ways
I can hold you.
You are a fool for me to be cruel.
I'm leaning on this bar listening to you sing
And your sad song rings in my ears and I start to cry.
He's searching
she's showing

See him heZd in a deep
deep spell he knows she's glowing.
I can find within my mind a way to go

I can look deep into your light and shout
Hold me
hold me
hold me
hold me
hold me.
I hear the saxophone and it tears my soul
And we're feeling old
feeling so cold

She is the torch and she is the theme

She could be a dream but - oh boy - is she real.
Try to avoid her eyes
to avoid her words

They will hit you with all that you feel.
He's searching
she's showing
. . .
See her eyes they are bright tonight.
See the stars coming out tonight.
See the moon looking down tonight

See how they light your way tonight.
See my eyes they are bright tonight.
See my hands reaching out tonight.
Hear my words they are dynamite

See how they light your way tonight.
See her eyes they are bright tonight. . . .
See her eyes they are bright tonight.
See how they light your way tonight.

Do you want me to
Get down on my knees
Beg you baby, please
Cry a million tears
Do you want me to
Call you on the phone
Beg you to come home
Think of all the years
When I once lived in paradise
When the love light shone in your eyes

Oh baby
What can I do when I still love you
What can I say when I still want you
What can I do
What can I say
You'll never know this way

Do you want me to
Follow you around
Everywhere in town
Do you want a clown
Why do you
Treat me mean and cruel
Breaking every rule
Can I be your fool
We can make this a happy home
So come back where you belong

Oh baby
What can I do when I still love you
What can I say when I still want you
What can I do
What can I say
You'll never know this way

Please forgive me, come back, and then
We can fall in love
Over and over and over and over again

Oh baby
What can I do when I still love you
What can I say when I still want you
Won't you come back
Oh baby,what can I say
I said, what can I do
Oh baby,what can I say
I said, won't you come back
I said, won't you come back
I said, what can I do
I said, what can I say
I said, won't you come back
I said, won't you come back
Won't you come back
Oh baby, won't you come back
Oh baby,what can I say
I said, what, what, what...can I say
Won't you come back
Won't you come back
Won't you
Won't you come back
What can I say
What can I say
What can I do
What can I do
What can I say
What can I say
Won't you come back
Won't you come back
What can I do, do, do, do
What can I do

What, what, what...

The wind in my hair
And the black in my eyes
I was holding back tears
As I reeled with surprise
There was no one to phone
I just chewed at the time
I was waving goodbye
To control of my mind

And the beat of my heart
Marks the passing of time
And I just wanna scream to the sky
There are times when my mind is an explosion of feelings
I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside

I go looking for lies
In your play-the-game eyes
But I couldn't find the way out
The where's or the why's
Should I laugh
Should I cry
Should I live
Should I die?
It's a wild celebration of feelings inside

And the beat of my heart
Marks the passing of time
And I just wanna scream to the sky
And there are times when my mind is an explosion of feelings
I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside (x3)

(I've got to hold on to the soul inside)

Inside...
It's a wild celebration
(It's a wild)
It a wild celebration of feelings inside
And it's tearing me...
And it's tearing me up
It's a wild...
It's a wild celebration of feelings inside

It's a wild... it's a wild...
Celebration of feelings inside

And I'm trying to hold on
And I'm trying to hold on
And I'm trying
Hold on....

Feelings.... inside....

Atmospheres are tense today
Mother and father are rowing again
Silently seated around the table
You're the one that's getting the blame
Father looks at you like a snake
You play with the food upon your plate
No one seems to be on your side
Things that threaten to hurt your pride

Mother loves to be concerned
Using lessons that she learnt
Fathers never understand
When children have the upper hand

Smiling you did your time at school
Crying quietly like a fool
Saturday night and Sunday morning
Did all the things they asked you to do
They say that home is where the heart is
But home is only where the hurt is
Pull the wool over the eyes
Forget the worries that you started

Mother loves to be concerned
Using lessons that she learnt
Fathers never understand
When children have the upper hand

When you stayed out every night
The first time from your parent's sight
They started to show some concern
But by then it was too late
Feel it's time to pull away
Shut your ears to all they say
Be yourself you know it's true
When in the end what's left is you

Mother loves to be concerned
Using lessons that she learnt
Fathers never understand
When children have the upper hand
