Last night I was dreaming
I was locked in a prison cell
When I woke up I was screaming
Calling out your name (whoa)

And the judge and the jury
They all put the blame on me (the blame on me)
They wanna tell from my story
They want to hear my plea

Only you can set me free
'Cause I'm guilty (Guilty)
Guilty as a girl can be
Come on baby can't you see
I stand accused
Of love in the first degree

(Guilty) Of love in the first degree

Someday I'm believing
You will come to my rescue
Unchain my heart, you'll keep him
Let me start a new (uuuu)

The hours passed so slowly
Since they've thrown away the key (Away the key)
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Won't you help me plea

Only you can set me free
'Cause I'm guilty (Guilty)
Guilty as a girl can be
Come on baby can't you see
I stand accused
Of love in the first degree

(Guilty) Of Love in the first degree

(Guilty)
Of Love

(Guilty)
Of Love in

(Guilty) of Love

(Guilty) of Love in

(Guilty)
Of love in the first degree

And the judge and the jury
They all put the blame on me
They wanna tell from my story
They wanna hear my plea

Only you can set me free
'Cause I'm guilty (Guilty)
As a girl can be
Come on baby can't you see
I stand accused
Of Love in the first degree

It's something wonderful
When he makes love to me
He's everything I ever need

They can't understand
What I see in him
He's so different when we're on our own

He has all the things I can't do without
No matter what you say to me
He will always be my love energy
Burn inside of me, why do they say

He's bad for me
That's what they say
Bad for me
But I don't care
Bad for me
What do they know
Bad for me

When he's standing close
I'm too blind to see
All the things he doesn't do for me

Just so long as I
Can be by his side
Doesn't matter, that's enough for me

Don't need anything better in my life
Than my baby when he's holding me
He will always be my love energy
Burn inside of me, why do they say

He's bad for me
That's what they say
Bad for me
But I don't care
Bad for me
What do they know
Bad for me

He has all the things I can't do without
No matter what you say to me
He will always be my love energy
Burn inside of me, why do they say

He's bad for me
That's what they say
Bad for me
But I don't care
Bad for me
What do they know
Bad for me

Who needs friends who never show
I'll tell you what you want to know
I could have saved a broken heart
If I'd found out long ago

I'm just thinking about
Those lonely nights
(I'm just thinking about when I waited)
When I waited for your call
'Til I found out
All my friends were right
('Til I found out, ooh, ooh)
I didn't know you at all

I heard a rumour
Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour
They say you got a broken heart
I heard it,
I heard a rumour
Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour
Yes I did, boy ooh, ooh, ooh

Now it seems they're telling me
You've changed your wicked ways
But should I give you a second chance
Baby, I'm too afraid

So you realise what hurt you made
(So you realise the love)
And the love you threw away
How can I forgive or soon forget
(How can I forgive, ooh, ooh)
It's never gonna be the same

I heard a rumour
Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour
They say you got a broken heart
I heard it,
I heard a rumour
Ooh, ooh, I heard a rumour
Yes I did, boy ooh, ooh, ooh

The story's the same
Only the names have been changed
When he broke your heart you said
You'll never love again

But you'll be back for more
And you'll get hurt
Just like before

Cos' there ain't no cure for love
Didn't they tell you
There ain't no remedy
They can sell you
Joy and pain
It's the same as it ever was

Don't think it over
It's only just begun
Learning to love again
Is half the battle won

But don't believe
They'll ever be
Immunity

Cos' there ain't no cure for love
Didn't they tell you
There ain't no remedy
They can sell you
Joy and pain
It's the same as it ever was

Cos' there ain't no cure for love
Didn't they tell you
There ain't no remedy
They can sell you
Joy and pain
It's the same as it ever was

But you'll be back for more
And you'll get hurt
Just like before

Cos' there ain't no cure for love
Didn't they tell you
There ain't no remedy
They can sell you
Joy and pain
It's the same as it ever was

Feels like I've been sleeping
For a thousand years
Secrets I've been keeping
Fill an ocean with tears

But I've found the answer
To what I'm searching for
'Cos I felt so empty
Until you touched my soul

I can't let you go
Now that you're mine
I can't let you go
I want you for all time

Filled with such confusion
I was losing my mind
Fell for love's illusion
Time after time

Any my life without you
Sends a chill right through my heart
But you made love easy
From the start

I can't let you go
Now that you're mine
I can't let you go
I want you for all time

I can't let you go
Now that you're mine
I can't let you go
I want you for all time

But I've found the answer
To what I'm searching for
'Cos I felt so empty
Until you touched my soul

I can't let you go
Now that you're mine
I can't let you go
I want you for all time

I can't let you go
Now that you're mine
I can't let you go
I want you for all time

Hooked on love

I saw a twelve year old, he had a plastic bag
Another young man sucking on butane gas
I saw them reaching for a hand to hold
The next minute they were both stone cold

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

I found a young girl lying in a pool of blood
She had the mark of needles and a lack of love
I saw her friends who told her 'She's a fool to try'
But never dream she was bound to die

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

And when the street sharp man next comes around
You better keep your head, you better stand your ground
No matter what the pressure, never make a deal
He might touch but he never can feel

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

And then I saw you cruising' through the wild west end
Can't change the habits of a lifetime debt
Now you're moving closer to the killing floor
You're half dead but you need to score

So don't get your kicks
For too high a price
The next time won't be so nice
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

If you're feeling bored without a thing to do
You wanna be somebody then it's up to you
I ain't trying to tell you how to live your life
You might run but you never can hide

Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

So don't get your kicks
For too high a price
The next time won't be so nice
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

I gave you everything but you still want more
You just don't know what you're looking for
You used to say I was all you ever need
But now you're running round footloose and free

You choose to play the other side of the tracks
Then expecting me to take you back
You never know what's good for you
You want your cake and eat it too

Took my love, threw it on one side
Saying the grass is greener on the other side
You can look but you'll never find
Don't you know you're never satisfied

If you play with fire you'd better learn
You fool around you get your fingers burned
Out of mind is out of sight
Don't know how you sleep at night

Took my love, threw it on one side
Saying the grass is greener on the other side
You can look but you'll never find
Don't you know you're never satisfied

Took my love

Oh, but you can look

You're never satisfied

Don't know how you sleep at night
Footloose and free
You want your cake and eat it too

You choose to play the other side of the tracks
Then expecting me to take you back
You never know what's good for you
You want your cake and eat it too

Took my love, threw it on one side
Saying the grass is greener on the other side
You can look but you'll never find
Don't you know you're never satisfied

Hopes dashed to the floor
Like shattered teenage dreams
Boys living next door
Are never what they seem

A walk in the park can become a bad dream
People are staring and following me
This is my only escape from it all
Watching a film or a face on the wall

Robert De Niro's waiting

I don't need a boy
I've got a man of steel
Don't come any closer
I don't wanna feel

Your breathing, your touching, but nothing's for free
I never want this to happen to me
Don't try to change me you're wasting your time
Now I've got something much better in mind

With your smile you're making plans
You've got the world right in the palm of your hands
Everything you touch is gold
But your future life is bought and sold
It seems to me that you've got it made
But you never show that you're afraid
Now the voices in your head
They make you scream and drive you mad

You're on a hotline to heaven
Now you're all alone
Riding on a hotline to heaven
Standing on your own

Staring eyes as cold as stone
A wandering figure that stands alone
Reaching out you cry for help
Once a man but now you're just a shell
You make a deal, you make a grade
But you're heading for an early grave
You got to find it, got to try
Something special to get you high

You're on a hotline to heaven
Now you're all alone
Riding on a hotline to heaven
Standing on your own

You're on a hotline to heaven
(Going up without me baby, I won't let you drive me crazy)
Now you're all alone
Riding on a hotline to heaven
(Going up without me baby, I won't let you drive me crazy)
Standing on your own

It seems to me that you've got it made
But you're heading for an early grave
A thousand voices in your head
Make you scream and drive you mad

You're on a hotline to heaven
Now you're all alone
Riding on a hotline to heaven
Standing on your own

You're on a hotline to heaven
(Going up without me baby, I won't let you drive me crazy)
Now you're all alone
Riding on a hotline to heaven
(Going up without me baby, I won't let you drive me crazy)
Standing on your own

Scarlett lips, a silk embrace
But there's no laughter in her face
A crowded room is a lonely place full of lies

A wicked smile a shifting glance
The passion light you feel at last
Her pleasure somehow eased the pain
Too late to chance it all again

Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Killing the love that drives you out of your mind
When you dance with a stranger

A spinning room a cool caress
A try to hide my loneliness
Cheek to cheek we let the evening drift by

The hollow mask has disappeared
We drown our love through salty tears
We speed at night like a racing car
And now I see you as you really are

Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger

Dance...
Dance with a stranger
Dance...

Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger

Watching and waiting
For the moment to arrive
Dance with a stranger
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger

There's no emotion
Only passion in your crime
Love is the last thing on your mind
When you dance with a stranger

Scarlett
Girl of glamour

Scarlett never cries
She shakes her head and sighs
At all life's little mysteries
And where she fits in all of these

Her friends all ask her why
She lets the days go by
They say that Scarlett should be sinking
But they don't know just what she's thinking

She's got no money but come tomorrow
What she ain't got you know she'll borrow
Life's a game and games are for playing
So listen now to what she's saying

This is Scarlett speaking
This is my ambition
I wanna have fun while I'm still young
So you'd better listen
Captain Scarlett speaking
On a secret mission
I aim for thrills and I shoot to kill
Got no competition

Clock says half past ten
She paints her face again
The night is young and Scarlett's willing
She's heading out, she's got that feeling

She's got no money but come tomorrow
What she ain't got you know she'll borrow
Life's a game and games are for playing
So listen now to what she's saying

This is Scarlett speaking
This is my ambition
I wanna have fun while I'm still young
So you'd better listen
Captain Scarlett speaking
On a secret mission
I aim for thrills and I shoot to kill
Got no competition

She's got no money but come tomorrow
What she ain't got you know she'll borrow
Life's a game and games are for playing
So listen now to what she's saying

This is Scarlett speaking
This is my ambition
I wanna have fun while I'm still young
So you'd better listen
Captain Scarlett speaking
On a secret mission
I aim for thrills and I shoot to kill
Got no competition

Scarlett never cries
Scarlett

Like a ghost before me
You walked back into my life
Now I'm so confused
Emotions bruised

You can't turn the clock back baby
It was far too long ago
I may look the same
But people change
Now you're making me confused

Now I can see so clearly
Which road I have to take
Though my heart says go
My head tells me no
Don't make the same mistake

You're a ghost come back to haunt me
Right before my eyes
Memory taunting me
You fill my head with lies

Tried to put the past behind me
Didn't want anybody to know
What I felt inside
Had to hide
Couldn't let my feelings show

Now I can see so clearly
The road I have to take
Though my heart says go
My head tells me no
Don't make the same mistake

You're a ghost come back to haunt me
Right before my eyes
Memory taunting me
You fill my head with lies

You're a ghost come back to haunt me
Right before my eyes
Memory taunting me
You fill my head with lies

Ghost gonna haunt you
Like a ghost gonna haunt you

The young don't grow up
Well not in this life
Big mouths and money
Win every time
Boy beats girl
While the sneaky and snide
Take all your money
And take your pride

Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
Don't call that justice
Children are starving on the street
Another one disappearing every week
Don't call that justice

King for a day
But their kingdom grows cold
They'll never grow up
But they're bound to grow old
I remember the pain
And humiliation
And I'll show them rough justice
The way that they did

Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
Don't call that justice
Children are starving on the street
Another one disappearing every week
Don't call that justice

Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
Don't call that justice
Children are starving on the street
Another one disappearing every week
Don't call that justice

Boy beats girl
While the sneaky and snide
Take all your money
And take your pride

Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
Don't call that justice
Children are starving on the street
Another one disappearing every week
Don't call that justice

Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
Don't call that justice
Children are starving on the street
Another one disappearing every week
Don't call that justice

Don't call that justice...

Cheers then here's two old friends
We thought we'd never say goodbye
But those good times came to an end
And its not worth another try
Familiar place familar face
But feeling's not the same
Try to relive what we once did
Its just a silly game

Cheers then here's two old friends
We thought we'd never say goodbye
But those good times came to an end
And its not worth another try
One of the crowd
It felt so safe
I never felt alone
Together everyday and night
When you and me were young

Ooh Ooh Ooh...

Cheers then here's two old friends
We thought we'd never say goodbye
But those good times came to an end
And its not worth another try
Time that lapsed a bond collapsed
We never planned for that
You felt betrayed I let you down
You're better on your own

Ooh Ooh Ooh...

Cheers then, it had to end
Cheers then, another try
Cheers then, here's two old friends
Cheers then, we're saying goodbye
Cheers then, we're saying goodbye
Cheers then...
