The look of love [A.B.C]

When your world is full of strange arrangements
And gravity won't pull you through
You know you're missing out on something
Well that something depends on you

All I'm saying, it takes a lot to love you
All I'm doing, you know it's true
All I mean now, there's one thing, yes one thing
That turns this grey sky to blue

That's the look, that's the look, the look of love
That's the look, that's the look, the look of love

When your girl has left you out on the pavement (Goodbye)
Then your dreams fall apart at the seams
Your reason for living's your reason for leaving
Don't ask me what it means

Who's got the look?
I don't know the answer to that question
Where's the look?
If I knew I would tell you
What's the look?
Look for your information
Yes there's one thing, the one thing that still holds true
(What's that?)

That's the look, that's the look, the look of love
That's the look, that's the look, the look of love

If you judge a book by the cover
Then you'd judge the look by the lover
I hope you'll soon recover
Me I go from one extreme to another

And though my friends just might ask me
They say: Martin maybe one day you'll find true love
I say: Maybe, there must be a solution to the one thing
the one thing, we can't find

That's the look, that's the look, the look of love
That's the look, that's the look, the look of love

(That's the look, that's the look) Sisters and brothers
(That's the look, that's the look) Should help each other
(That's the look, that's the look) Oh, oh, oh
(That's the look, that's the look) Heavens above
(That's the look, that's the look) Hip hip hooray, aye
(That's the look, that's the look) Yippee I, yippee I aye
(That's the look, that's the look) Be lucky in love
Look of love

House on fire [The Boomtown Rats]

I heard Tarzan outside playing on the Jungle Blues
I know 'cos I saw him shimmer in a Kenyan pool
Coming on in the vines with his leopard-skin lioncloth cool
Bony Watusi fingers
Beating on the bark of a tree

Now Tarzan and me, well, obviously we're like that
Me and Tarzan, yeah we get on like a house on fire

Look at cool Louise she's the one with the knick-knack eyes
She's only 17 but she knows how to make boys fight
Yeah she'll slit you with her eyes an' she'll slash you
With her cut-back smile
Ah she's as cruel as a pig but we love her like a house on fire

Louise and me now obviously we're like that
Yes me and Louise we'll make it like a house on fire

Like a house on fire...

Mama used to say [Junior]

Yeah, girl

Said a small boy once asked, "When will I grow up
When will I see what grownups do see"
In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age
To be recognized is when I’m not unmasked

And mama used to say, "Take your time, young man"
Mama used to say, "Don’t you rush to get old"
Mama used to say, "Take it in your stride"
Mama used to say, "Live your life"

As the years went rushin’ by he would cut down on his age
He would tell his girl of how it used to be
How his mommy passed away, but these lines she would say
And at the time he couldn’t understand

Mama used to say, "Take your time, young man"
Mama used to say, "Don’t you rush to get old"
Mama used to say, "Take it in your stride"
Mama used to say, "Live your life"

You’re young, so young, don’t hold on back
Do all you want to do
Now is the time for you to stride
For you to get better in what you are doin’, oh

Now is the time for you to stride
For you to get better in what you are doin’, oh

A small boy once asked, "When will I grow up
When will I see what grownups do see"
In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age
To be recognized is when I’m not unmasked

And mama used to say, "Take your time, young man"
Mama used to say, "Don’t you rush to get old"
Mama used to say, "Take it in your stride"
Mama used to say, "Live your life, live your life, live your life" Ooh

Hey, mama used to say, "Take your time, young man"
Mama used to say, "Don’t you rush to get old"
Mama used to say, "Take it in your stride"
Mama used to say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey"

Ooh
Ooh
Mama used to say, ooh...
Mama used to say, ooh...
Mama used to say, ooh...
Mama used to say, ooh...
Mama used to say

Too late [Junior]

When he comes home intoxicated from the club
All the kids, they go and snuggle up to mum
He starts shouting again, they start running again
This ain't no life for them to lead

In her mind she knows she has to let him go
In her children's eyes she sees the fear inside
How does she tell him, he won't take it, not him
This ain't no life for them to lead

And she said: Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go

In the morning when he wakes up from the couch
Not recalling what had happened the night before
He starts asking questions. He won't get no answers
What the hell's going on in here

And she said: Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go

She starts saying she can't take it no more
When he comes home he always beats her to the floor
This old line she's giving. Yes, about them leaving
He can't take it all

But it's too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go

But it's too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go
Too late, too late baby, bye bye
Now's my time to go

I don't want to think about it
I just want to take the kids and go
Oh no

Mad world [Tears For Fears]

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very
Mad World

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very very
Mad World
Mad World...
Halogeon World
Mad World...

You can't hurry love [Phil Collins]

I need love, love
ooh, ease my mind
And I need to find time
someone to call mine

My mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
But it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes

How many heartaches must I stand
Before I find the love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
when I feel my strength, ooh, it's almost gone

I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long must I wait
How much more must I take
Before loneliness
Will cause my heart, heart to break?

No, I cant bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
Well these precious words keep me hanging on

I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Well, it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes

Now break!

Now love, love don't come easy
But I keep on waiting, anticipating For that soft voice to talk to me at night
For some tender arms to hold me tight
I keep waiting. Ooh, till that day
But it ain't easy (Love don't come easy)
No, you know it ain't easy

My mama said
I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
Well, it's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love...

Too shy [Kajagoogoo]

Tongue tied or short of breath, don't even try
Mmmm, try a little harder.
Something's wrong, you're not naive you must be strong
Ooh, baby try

Hey girl, move a little closer
You're too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush hush

Modern medicine falls short of your complaint
Mmmm, Try a little harder
You're moving in circles won't you dilate
Ooh baby try

Hey girl, move a little closer
'Cause you're too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush hush

You're too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye
Too shy shy, hush hush....

Only you [The Flying Pickets]

Looking from a window above, it's like a story of love
Can you hear me Came back only yesterday, I'm moving further away
Want you near me

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

Sometimes when I think of her name when it's only a game
And I need you
Listen to the words that you say it's getting harder to stay
When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you

This is going to take a long time and I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand it's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
And all I ever knew
Only you...

Happy talk [Captain Sensible]

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You've got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true

Talk about the moon, floating in the sky
Looking like a lily on a lake
Talk about the bird learning how to fly
Making all the music he can make

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You've got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true

Let's talk about the star, looking like a toy
Peeking through the branches of a tree
Talk about the girl, talk about the boy
Counting all the ripples on the sea

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You've got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true

Alright!

Talk about the boy saying to the girl
Golly baby I'm a lucky cus
Talk about the girl saying to the boy
You and me are lucky to be us

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You've got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream, how you gonna make a dream come true

And if you don't talk happy, and you never have dream
Then you'll never have a dream come true

Wot! [Captain Sensible]

When I woke up this morning I was feeling fine
But this cat starts banging, man what a swine
So I called reception but to no avail
That's why I'm telling you this sorry tale

It went Bang! I said 'Shutup'
It went Bang! I said 'Wrap up'
Well I'm aware that the guy must do his work
But the pile driver man drove me bezerk

He said 'Captain?'. I said 'Wot?'
He said 'Captain?'. I said 'Wot?'
(He said 'Captain?'. He said 'Wot?')
(He said 'Captain?'. He said 'Wot d'you want?')

Once a lifetime, twice a day
If you don't work you get no pay
I've been to the east, I've been to the west
But the girls I like most are the ones undressed

Well hello Adam, where you been?
I said Stand aside, cause I'm a-feeling mean
I've had a gut full of you and I'm a-feeling bad
But you're an ugly old pirate and ain't I glad

He said 'Captain?'. I said 'Wot?'
He said 'Captain?'. I said 'Wot?'
He said 'Captain?'. I said 'Wot?'
He said 'Captain?'. I said 'Wot d'you want?'

(He said 'Captain?'. He said 'Wot?')
(He said 'Captain?'. He said 'Wot?')
(He said 'Captain?'. He said 'Wot?')
(He said 'Captain?'. He said 'Wot?' Woooooo!)....
