Adrian (feat. Elvis Costello)

Adrian - don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming.
And when you go to bed
And cover up your head
It's better if you try to stop remembering.
And the world is slowly dawning
To wake up to a new clear morning.
Some of them just half your age
Get written off, page by page...
Adrian don't you understand?
Fools like us are always dreaming.
And when you go to bed
And cover up your head
It's better if you try to stop remembering.
Some of them just half your age
Get written off page by page...
And the world is softly sleeping
While your fears are in their keeping.
All the planet's making haste
To blow to bits in outer space...

Dont Ask Me Why

Miracle of miracles
Look what the night dragged in -
Its a pocket full of misery
And trouble on the wind
You spoiled the best years
Of your life
You took them all in vain
Now you think that youre forgiven
But you cant be born again
And you say
Why?
You say why?
You say why?
Dont ask me why -
I dont love you anymore
I dont think I ever did
And if you ever had
Any kind of love for me
You kept it all so well hid...
Promises sweet promises

Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves

Eurythmics and Aretha Franklin

Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every - "great man."
There had to be a - "great woman."
But in these times of change you know
That it's no longer true.
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you (we say)

Sisters are doin' it for themselves.
Standin' on their own two feet.
And ringin' on their own bells.
Sisters are doin' it for themselves.

Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state!
Mothers - daughters and their daughters too.
Woman to woman
We're singin' with you.

I Remember You

Well theres a colour picture
In my mind.
Of all the places
That Ive left behind.
The broken windows
Where the wind blows through
Empty shells of houses
That have turned to ruin.
Oh - we were so young.
We didnt realise
Just what wed done.
Oh - we were too young.
And I remember you.
You were the back yard boy.
Hiding in the wreckage
Of broken dreams.
Standing by the railway line.
Standing.
Oh - we were so young.
We didnt realise

The Last Time

Well the first time that I saw you
You were standing in the rain.
You were waiting at the station
For the last connecting train.
Well - who will you go to
When theres no-one to betray?
And I said - who will you go to
When your best friend turns away?
Hey hey...
Last time youre gonna let me down.
Last time youre gonna
Fool around with me...
Theres a garden full of roses,
Theres a necklace full of pearls.
You have come to take the roses
To give to other girls.
Well - I am just a pretty thing
You wanted for a day.
There is nothing left between us
There is nothing left to say...

I Saved The World

Monday finds you like a bomb
That's been left ticking there too long
You're bleeding
Some days there's nothing left to learn
From the point of no return
You're leaving
Hey hey, I saved the world today
And everybody's happy now
The bad thing's gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay
There's a million mouths to feed
and I've got eveything I need
I'm breathing
There's a hurting thing inside
And I've got everything to hide
I'm greiving
Hey hey, I saved the world today
And everybody's happy now

Beethoven

Take a girl like that
And put her in a natural setting
Like a cafe for example.
Along comes the boy
And he's looking for trouble
With a girl like that
With a girl like that.
Who knows what they'll decide to do.
Who knows what they'll get up to.
I'd love to know.
Wouldn't you?
I love to listen to beethoven...
You think you know just what you want
But you have used that weapon agianst me.
Did i tell you i was lying by the way
When i said i wanted a new mink coat.
I was just thinking about
Something sleek
To wrap around my tender throat
I was dreaming like a texan girl

In This Town

I could be anywhere else but here
But the rain wont let me go.
Theres a photograph
Hanging on my wall
Of a place Ive never been to...
Ill never make the grade
(feels like sunday everyday)
And I cant stop the rain
(feels like sunday everyday)
What do the papers say?
(feels like sunday everyday)
Get up and go now!
In this town - somethings gotta change.
In this town - somethings gotta change.
Im looking at the world -
Looking for a scene -
Waiting for a day -
Filling in time like Im digging
My own grave...
Ill never make the grade

My True Love

My true love is sitting on a pile of stones
And hes wondering to himself
Oh where did I go wrong?
My true love has found himself alone
And hes sorry for it all
And for the hurt weve done
And Ive given more than I can take
Fallen for the same mistake
Promises were made to break
What will save us now?
And I dont want to remember
And I dont want to remember
My true love is a saccharine kind of pill
That tastes too sweet for words
And cannot be fulfilled
My true love is a dangerous china cup
With all the broken pieces
That cannot be picked up
Now all the colours left to run
All the dreams have been undone

The Miracle Of Love

How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusion
Thats covering your mind?
Ill show you something good
Oh Ill show you something good.
When you open your mind
Youll discover the sign
That theres something
Youre longing to find...
The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again.
Cruel is the night
That covers up your fears.
Tender is the one
That wipes away your tears.
There must be a bitter breeze
To make you sting so viciously -
