10 Domino Dancing-
(All day, all day)
I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you, but I'm not sure now
I've seen you look at strangers too many times
The love you want is of a different kind
Remember when we felt the sun
A love like paradise, how hot it burned
A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red
And when you walked, you always - turned every head
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
I thought that when we fought I was to blame
But now I know you play a different game
I've watched you dance with danger, still wanting more
Add another number to the score
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
When you look around you wonder
Do you play to win?
Or are you just a bad loser?
(All day, all day)
(All day, all day)
I don't know why, I don't know how
I thought I loved you but I'm not sure now
I hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark
And now a storm is breaking within my heart
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day) Domino dancing
(All day, all day) Watch them all fall down
(All day, all day)

SOMETIMES YOU'RE BETTER OFF DEAD
THEREґS A GUN IN YOUR HAND
AND ITґS POINTING AT YOUR HEAD
YOU THINK YOUґRE MAD, TOO UNSTABLE
KICKING IN CHAIRS AND KNOCKING DOWN TABLES
IN A RESTAURANT, IN A WEST END TOWN
CALL THE POLICE THEREґS A MADMAN AROUND
RUNNING DOWN UNDERGROUND
TO A DIVE BAR IN A WEST END TOWN

IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD
THE EAST END BOYS AND WEST END GIRLS
IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD
THE EAST END BOYS AND WEST END GIRLS
WEST END GIRLS

TOO MANY SHADOWS, WHISPERING VOICES
FACES ON POSTERS, TOO MANY CHOICES
IF,WHEN, WHY, WHAT, HOW MUCH HAVE YOU GOT
HAVE YOU GOT IT, DO YOU GET IT
IF SO, HOW OFTEN
WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE
A HARD OR SOFT OPTION

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED

IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD...

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED

IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD...

YOU GOT A HEART OF GLASS OR A HEART OF STONE
JUST YOU WAIT TILL I GET YOU HOME
WEґVE GOT NO FUTURE
WEґVE GOT NO PAST
HERE TODAY BUILT TO LAST
IN EVERY CITY AND EVERY NATION
FROM LAKE GENEVA TO FINLAND STATION

HOW FAR HAVE YOU BEEN

IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD...

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn
I've got the brains
Let's make lots of...

I've had enough of scheming
and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside
I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner
Someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question;
Do you want to be rich?

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn
I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money

You can tell I'm educated
I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics
I could have been a don
I can program a computer
Choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination
I have got the crime

Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them (you know)
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them (Make or break them)

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of...
Money

You can see I'm simple minded, I know what I could be
How'd you feel about it, come and take a walk with me
I'm looking for a partner, regardless of expense
Think about it seriously you know it makes sense

Let's (Got the brains)
Make (Got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
Let's (You've got the brawn)
Make (I've got the brains)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)

I've got the brains (Got the brains)
You've got the looks (Got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (Oohh money)
Money!

I don't like country-and-western
I don't like rock music
I don't like, I don't like rockabilly or rock 'n' roll particularly
Don't like much really, do I?
But what I do like I love passionately

Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh
Paninaro, Paninaro, oh, oh, oh

You, you're my lover, you're my hope, you're my dreams

I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly, I realized
You'd been and gone - I know you lied
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression

The wind was chilly and the sky was dull
I went for shelter to the temple
Once inside I couldn't believe my eyes
You'd been and gone - I know you lied
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression

Go to a club - you think I'll be there
I don't go 'cause I'm not a member
You said you went to apologize
It's plain to me that's one more lie
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression (impression)
That's my impression

I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly, I realized
You'd been and gone - I know you lied
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
It's an expression
And a suggestion
I learned my lesson
That's my impression
That's my impression (impression)
That's my impression
That's my impression (impression)
I learned my lesson

I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly I - realized
You'd been and gone - I know
You lied - that's my impression
I know you lied
And that's my impression
That's my impression
My impression
That's my impression

The secrets (Got to me)
- Thank You - (Got to me)
of sexual (Got to me Got to me)
attraction
(Got to me Got to me Got to me Got to me
Got to me Got to me Got to me Got to me)

(Oh-Oh-Oh-OhOh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohw)
(Oh-Oh-Oh-OhOh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohw)

We all feel better in the dark
We all feel better in the dark

We all feel better in the dark
We all feel better in the dark

(Oh-Oh-Oh-OhOh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Ohw Oh)

We all feel better in the dark
We all feel better in the dark
We all feel better in the dark
We all feel better in the dark

We all feel better in the dark

Yesterday, remember how clear it seemed
In six inch heels, quoting magazines
Go all the way, you knew you could
So far, so good

Someone asked: Who do you think you are?
Who pays your bills? How come you came this far?
Shrugged him off, and locked the door
So good, this far

Now it almost seems impossible
We've drunk too much, and woke up everyone
I may be wrong, I thought we said
It couldn't happen here

I don't expect to talk in terms of sense
Our dignity and injured innocence
It contradicts your battle-scars
Still healed, so far

Now it almost seems incredible
We've laughed too loud, and woke up everyone
I may be wrong, but I thought we said
It couldn't happen here

Now it almost seems impossible
We've found ourselves back where we started from
I may be wrong, I thought we said
It couldn't happen here

I may be wrong, I thought we said
It couldn't happen here

. . .


Dictation being forced in Afghanistan
Revolution in South Africa taking a stand
People in Eurasia on the brink of oppression
I hope it's going to be alright
I hope the music plays forever

Forests falling at a desperate pace
The earth is dying, and desert taking its place
People under pressure on the brink of starvation

I hope it's gonna be alright
(Alright Alright Alright)
'Cause the music plays forever
('Cause it goes on and on and on and on and on)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(On and on and on and on, forever)
And the music plays forever
(Alright Alright)

Generations will come and go (will come and go)
But there's one thing for sure
Music is our life's foundation
And shall succeed all the nations to come

(Alright Alright Alright)
'Cause the music plays forever
('Cause it goes on and on and on and on and on)
I hope it's gonna be alright
(On and on and on and on and on)
(On and on and on and on)
And the music plays forever

The year three thousand may still come to pass
But the music shall last
I can hear it on a timeless wavelength
Never dissipating but giving us strength

(It's alright)
I think it's gonna be alright
(It's gonna be alright)
(Alright Alright Alright Alright)
'Cause the music plays forever
(Eeh-oh-oh-eeh)
(Gonna be alright)
If the music plays forever
(It will be alright)
If the music plays forever
(I think it's gonna be alright)
It's gonna be alright
(If the music plays)
It's all - alright
It's alright
(For it goes on and on and on and on)
(On and on and on and on)

PET SHOP BOYS LYRICS

Left To My Owm Devices

I get out of bed at half past ten
Phone up a friend, who's a party animal
Turn on the news and drink some tea
Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping

One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest
But I don't like to compete, or talk street, street, street
I can pick up the best from the party animal

I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would

Pick up a brochure about the sun
Learn to ignore what the photographer saw
I was always told that you should join a club
Stick with the gang, if you want to belong

I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy
In a world of my own at the back of the garden
I didn't want to compete, or play out on the street
For in a secret life I was a round head general

I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Left to my own devices, I probably would
Oh, I would

I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
Would I write a book? Or should I take to the stage?
But in the back of my head I heard distant feet
Che Guevara and De‚bussy to a disco beat

It's not a crime when you look the way you do
The way I like to picture you
When I get home, it's late at night
I pour a drink and watch the fight

Turn off the TV, look at a book
Pick up the phone, fix some food
Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
Waiting for the minute I hear you say

I could leave you, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Come on, baby, say goodbye
Or I could love you, if I try
And I could
And left to my own devices, I probably would
Left to my own devices, I probably would
(Come on baby)
Left to my own devices, I probably would

Zazou, whatcha gonna do?
There's a lot of people and they're coming for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night

That Zazou, he don't care
The dark glasses
The long hair
Takes his time
Sneers at men
Some ugly people want revenge

Zazou comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
In the night

That Zazou he sleeps all day
Then down to Select or Le Collisee
Sips his drinks, orders more
Says what he thinks and it's a crazy war

Zazou, whatcha gonna do?
A knock on the door in the night

Zazou comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night

And when the soldiers strut
All he cares about is love
When the flags are out
All he cares about is love
Well there's a thin line between love and crime
And in this situation
A thin line between love and crime and
Collaboration

In the night

In the night

In the night

Zazou whatcha gonna do?
There's a lot of people and they're coming for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night

Now everybody's under somebody's spell
Unless they've already gone to Hell
In the streets you can hear the people say
"That Zazou, he should be locked away!"

And when the soldiers strut
All he cares about is love
When the flags are out
All he cares about is love
Well there's a thin line between love and crime
And in this situation
A thin line between love and crime and
Collaboration

(Two divided by zero, zero)
(Two divided by zero, zero, zero)

Let's not go home, we'll catch the late train
I've got enough money to pay all the way
When the postman calls, he'll deliver the letter
I've explained everything; it's better that way

(Divided by, divided by) I think they heard a rumour
(Divided by, divided by) Or someone tipped them off
(Divided by, divided by) It's better to go sooner
(Divided by, divided by) Than call it all off

We'll catch a plane to New York, and a cab going down
Cross the bridges and tunnels, straight into town
Tomorrow morning we'll be miles away
On another continent and another day

(Divided by, divided by) Let's not go home
(Divided by, divided by) Or call it a day
(Divided by, divided by) You won't be alone
(Divided by, divided by) Let's run away

(Two divided by zero, zero)
(Two divided by zero, zero, zero)
(D...d...d...d...d...divided by)
(Divided by, divided by)
(Z...z...z...z...z...zero, zero)
(Divided by)

(Turn of that noise...)

(Divided by, divided by) Someone spread a rumour
(Divided by, divided by zero, zero)
(Divided by, divided by) Better to go sooner
(Divided by, divided by) Let's run away

So why hang around for the deed to be done
You can give it all up for a place in the sun
When the postman calls we'll be miles away
On a plane to New York and another day

(Divided by, divided by) I think they heard a rumour
(Divided by, divided by) Or someone tipped them off
(Divided by, divided by) Better to go sooner
(Divided by, divided by) Than call it all off

(Divided by, divided by) Someone spread a rumour
(Divided by, divided by) And someone has to pay
(Divided by, divided by) Let's not go home
(Divided by, divided by) Let's run away
(Divided by, divided by) Let's not go home
(Divided by, divided by) Let's run away

. . .


You can live your life lonely
heavy as stone
live your life learning
and working alone
Say this is all you want
but I don't believe
that is true
cause when you least expect it
waiting round the corner for you
Love comes quickly whatever you do
you can't stop falling
Oooh Ooooh
Love comes quickly whatever you do
you can't stop falling
Oooh Oooh

You can live a life of luxury
if that's what you want
taste forbidden pleasures
whatever you want
You can fly away to the end of the world
bur where does it get you?
Cause just when you least expect it, just what you least expect

Love comes quickly whatever you do
You can't stop falling
Oooh Oooh

. . .


I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
"Dress in white" one said, with quotations
From someone's wife, a famous writer
In the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
In anyone who's ever gone
And opened up a closing door
She said: "We were never feeling bored

'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end

When I went I left from the station
With a haversack and some trepidation
Someone said: "If you're not careful
You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for
In the nineteen-seventies"
But I sat back and looking forward
My shoes were high and I had scored
I'd bolted through a closing door
I would never find myself feeling bored

'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend

Now I sit with different faces
In rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
The creature that I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere here with me

'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought: "Make amends"
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend

And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
