LOVE
SONG
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
I'm crossing over
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song (repeat)
This is not a love song
Happy to have
Not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm crossing over into enterprise
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
Oh no
I'm adaptable
Now I like my new role
I'm getting better and better
I have a new goal
I'm changing my ways
Where money applies
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
I'm going over to the other side
I'm happy to have
Not to have not
Big business is very wise
I'm inside free enterprise
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
Not television
Behind the curtain
Out of the cupboard
You take the first train
Into the big world
Are you ready
To grab the candle
That tunnel vision
Not television
Behind the curtain
Out of the cupboard
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song
This is not a love song (repeat)
Happiness and sunshine
This is not a love song
No no
No no
No no
MAD MAX (aka Bad Life)
This is what you want
This is what you get
Bad life
Call me up after midnight
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm right
What do you want
What do I get
Did you just need the argument
Bad life
See this face
Better remember it
See this face
Gonna take all of it
Corporate city
Lucky for some
Richest island in the sun
Bad life
Bad bad bad life
Well this machine is on the move
Now looking out for number one (ha ha)
Bad life
Name of the game is competition
Top of the pile on demolition
This is what you want
This is what you get
Bad, bad, bad life
Bad life
Now looking out for number one
Now this machine is on the move
Bad life
Call me up after midnight
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm right
What do you want
What do I get
Did you just need the argument
Bad life
Corporate city
Lucky for some
Richest island in the sun
Bad life
Bad, bad, bad life
Well this machine is on the move
Now looking out for number one
Bad life
BAD
NIGHT
I think it's just been another bad night
I think it's just been another bad night
I think it's just been another bad night
I think it's just been another bad night
I'm not an actor
I cannot hide away
Whatever I want to say
I let it out
Maybe I'm wrong
The games you play
Go on too long
I think it's just been another bad night
I think it's just been another bad night
I put my foot in it
I said the wrong thing
I opened my mouth
I let the rubbish flow out
I wish that sometimes
I wouldn't talk so blind
And I always guess
The hard rules of life
YOUNG
BRITS (aka Solitaire)
Think you know the answers
Think you got all the problems
Well why not try and solve them
Instead of sitting on them
Solitaire
Taking on new projects
Steadily slipping sideways
Close your ears to reason
Your very valued opinion
Solitaire
Nothing is getting nowhere
Never meaning what you're saying
Well now I need a decision
Not empty headed ambition
Solitaire
Slightest things will explode you
The whole world will implode you
Solitaire for the lonely for life
You're not the only one
Solitaire
Solitaire
Solitaire
Solitaire
Nothing is getting nowhere
Never meaning what you're saying
Now I need a decision
Not empty headed ambition
Solitaire
THE SLAB
(instrumental)
LOU REED PART 1
(instrumental)
LOU
REED PART 2 - Where Are You
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
So now you keep your distance
Double on the nuisance
Avoid the situation
Avoid your occupation
Hardly surprising
Too busy socialising
The lying and the faking
The lying and the waiting
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you now
You're never here
When you're needed
Nothing ever heeded
Pretending and pretending
But you don't even try
Where are you
Where are you now
A car without an engine
A plane without a pilot
Where are you
Where are you now
Where are you
Where are you now
BLUE WATER
Oxygen
Aqua
Into the water
Splish, splosh
Bubbles
Swimming
Under the water
The blue water
Blue water
I'd give an arm
I'd give a leg
To be forever
Under the water
Blue water
Swimming
Under water
Blue water
I got my wish
I went splish
And I went splosh
And I got lost
Under the water
Blue water
I'd give a leg
To be forever
Blue Water
Under the water
I'd give an arm
I'd give a leg
You chewed my guts
But not my head
Blue Water
Blue Water
Blue Water
Blue Water is feeding
Blue Water
I'd give an arm
I'd give a leg
You chewed my guts
But left my head
Blue Water
Blue Water
Blue Water (repeat)
It's feeding
It's feeding
Water
Blue water
