Public Servant
Cut em loose
Public servant, public slave
Its one single slide from the cradle to the grave
Cant remember why youre still in the race
To be a public servant, public slave
You got to know who satan is
You know you made him come alive
You let the yahoos write the script
When you sold your soul to survive
I only want to hear my voice
Come on, hit me where I live
Lets imagine we had a choice
Lets pretend were persuasive
I guess it keeps you off the street
I guess you couldnt find honest work
And youre content to follow the fleet
Hanging round with world-class jerks
I guess you cant have too little class
Sometimes it pays to have no soul
Just keep your mindset in the past
And your head up your asshole
Its not as if we couldnt cope
Its not as if the pope eloped
Its just as if youre out of hope
And if you cant stand twice as tall
If youre too afraid to fall
If you havent got the balls
Cut em loose

In Private
(neil tennant / chris lowe)
Take your time and tell me
Where you lie
I realise
That weve been found out this time
We should stay together
If we can
But what youve planned
Means theres a difference between
What youre gonna say
In private
You still want my love
Were in this together
And what youre gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
So discreet
I never tried to meet
Your friends or interfere
I took a back seat between
And what you gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
Were in this together
And what youre gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
What you gonna say, ay
When you run back to your wife?
I guess its just the story of my life
What you gonna say?
So take your time
And tell me
Where did you learn
Oh, I may publicise
That theres a difference between
What youre gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
Were in this together
And what youre gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
Tell me what you gonna say
In private? , ooh, ooh, ooh
What you gonna say?
What you gonna do?
Baby, what you gonna say?

Not My Slave
With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind
I thought about the ghost that we left behind.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper I love you.
The fire in your eyes-- may it never go out.
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night.
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgement day
Youre missing the whole point-- youre not my little pet
Dont throw away your life-- the games not over yet
I do not own your soul--dont want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
Youre mine now but youre not my sister
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine but youre not my child
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
With sadness in my heart and clounds in my head
I thought about us both and the lives we led.
The pages on a book and pictures on a screen
We shape ourselves like clay from someone elses dream.
One second you are cast just like stones at my feet
But I am not a king please dont worship me.
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper I love you.
Youre missing the whole point-- youre not my little pet
Dont throw away your life-- the games not over yet
I do not own your soul--dont want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
Youre mine now but youre not my sister
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine but youre not my child
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine but youre not my sister
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine but youre not my child
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine now but youre not my slave
Youre mine now but youre not my slave

I Will Miss You
I thought that i
Was like an island
Guess I was wrong
Guess I was wrong
I see your face
And then it hits me
That I will miss you
Oh when youre gone
My heart will sleep
Until you wake it
I hope and pray
It wont be long
This house is home
And when you leave it
Then I will miss you
Oh when youre gone
Ive been taking it all for granted
It was there in front of my face
I couldnt see into understanding
And how could I know
How could I loose my way
Ive been taking it all for granted
I got no excuses for that
I couldnt see into understanding
But how could I know
I wonder when you look back
Will you remember
Our road is straight
Our road is long
My heart is with you
And I will miss you
Oh I will miss you
I know I will miss you
Oh when youre gone

Change Of Heart
(terry britten/graham lyle)
Youre trying to tell me something
Every time I come near
I got a feeling the message
Is the one I dont want to hear
You can deny all you want to
But I know you enough to know
Why not come right out and say it
Youve been trying to let me down slow
So lets talk before the tears drop
Youve had a change of heart
Well I guess thats up to you
I couldnt change my heart
Even if I wanted to
Youve had a change of heart
Your kiss sends a message
And I detect the signs
I got enough understanding
Of a lover to realize
That you cant make him love you
Though I give you my best
Youre keeping your heart at a distance
And it breaks me up to confess
Change of heart
Well I guess thats up to you
I couldnt change my heart
Even if I wanted to
Change of heart
Baby, everyone to talk to
Youve had a change of heart
Is this just a notion
A phase that will pass
A mixed up emotion
Or is this change gonna last?
Baby lets talk
Before the tears drop
Youve had a change of heart
Well I guess thats up to you
I couldnt change my heart
Even if I wanted to
Change of heart
Everyone to talk to
Youve had a change of heart
Am I losing you, losing you
Change of heart
I couldnt change my heart
Am I losing you, losing you
I couldnt change my heart

Millions of public workers have become a kind of privileged new class - a new elite, who live better than their private sector counterparts. Public servants have become the public's masters. No wonder the public is upset.

Loose Fit
Has to be a loose fit
Has to be a loose fit
Go on move in it, go on do your bit
Small, big take your pick
Doesnt have to be legit
It s gotta be a loose fit
It s gotta be a loose fit
Dont need no skin tights in my wardrobe today
Fold them all up and put them all away
Wont be no misfit in my household today
Pick them all out and send them on their way
Do what youre doing, say what youre saying
Go where youre going, think what youre thinking
Sounds good to me
Dont know what you saw, but you know its against the law
And you know that you want some more
Ive heard it all before
Gonna buy an airforce base
Gonna wipe out your race
Get stoned in a different place
Dont you know I got better taste
Do what youre doing, say what youre saying
Go where youre going, think what youre thinking
It sound good to me
Do what youre doing, spend what youre owing
Pay what youre paying, look where youre going
Say what youre thinking, kill who youre killing
Sing if youre singing, speak if youre speaking
Sounds good to me

Lets Be Friends
(words & music by arnold - morrow - martin)
Dont be afraid, you and I were made the same little one
And I know what its like when you feel left out of the game little one
But if you take this helping hand that I lift
Then we can smile together, lets be friends
The world that you see may seem to be a mystery to you
The night may be dark but hope very hard and dreams can come true
You live in silence but for once lets pretend
Were talking here together, lets be friends
Youre not alone, Ive always known that wed get along
And someone I know says life is good and he cant be wrong
Theres fun and laughter just waiting round the bend
Lets find them now together, lets be friends
Lets find them now together, lets be friends

I Know Youre Out There Somewhere
I know youre out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know Ill find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
And somehow Ill return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And Ive left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
cos the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
I know youre out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know youre out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know Ill find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know Ill find you somehow
And somehow Ill return again to you
The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
Ive been searching for in everyone I meet
And the times Ive been mistaken
Its impossible to say
And the grass is growing
Underneath our feet
I know youre out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know youre out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know Ill find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know Ill find you somehow
And somehow Ill return again to you
From the words that I remember
From my childhood still are true
That theres none so blind
As those who will not see
And to those who lack the courage
And say its dangerous to try
Well they just dont know
That love eternal will not be denied
I know youre out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know youre out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know Ill find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know Ill find you somehow
And somehow Ill return again to you
Yes I know its going to happen
I can feel you getting near
And soon well be returning
To the fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering
In the darkness Ill be there
My arms will close around you
And protect you with the truth
I know youre out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know youre out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know Ill find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know Ill find you somehow
And somehow Ill return again to you

Say Youre Sorry
Havent you ever felt this way before?
(with a perfect stranger? )
The look on her face, it just gives her away, she cant take any more
Hoist up your white flag, call for a truce
Try separation, we both stand to lose
She looks in your eyes as we say our goodbyes and she says
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry (tell me, tell me)
Say youre sorry (right from the heart)
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry
Think of the times when we couldnt wait to get home
(from the arms of danger)
Funniest part was the danger was right in our being home
You hoist up your white flag, you seem so amused
Living in riddles without giving clues
Looks in your eyes as you say your goodbytes and she says
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry (tell me, tell me)
Say youre sorry (right from the heart)
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry
Weve had our problems and weve had our fights
I was the wrong one and you were the right
No more fighting, it ends tonight
Its your turn to say youre sorry
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry (say youre sorry)

Stupid Girl
Youre just a stupid girl
You really got a lot to learn
Start living again
Forget about remembering
Youre such a stupid girl.
Youre such a beautiful fish
Floppin on the summer sand
Lookin for the wave you missed
When another one is close at hand
Youre such a stupid girl.
Youre such a stupid girl.
I saw you in mercedes benz
Practicing self-defense
You got it pretty good I guess
I couldnt see your eyes
Youre really stupid, girl.

Now that youre gone
Now that youre gone
Im living my life all alone
Or hit by a blow

Come what may

Thought I Couldnt Dance
Stand back, and give me room
And listen to that beat
I got the music in my soul
And the rhythm in my feet
When I hear the music,
You wont catch me standing still
And I wont miss a beat
I never have and I never will
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
I can dance to anything
That any band can play
Ive got old-fashioned values
But Im pretty up to date
And I know all the latest hits
On the radio
You dont have to join me
Stand back and watch my show
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
Thought I couldnt dance
Hey, watch me prance
Lets make romance
Thought I couldnt dance
You gotta take a chance
If youre gonna learn to dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance
Theres a lot of closet dancers
Just dyin to come out
They dance alone inside their rooms
With the music way up loud
And I know you thought I couldnt dance
But I guess I sure fooled you
It just goes to show you never know
Whos wearing dancin shoes
And you thought I couldnt dance
Im full of surprises
And you thought I couldnt dance
Its too late now
I cant slow down...cant slow down
Oh, feel the heat
From these dancin feet... cant slow down
And you thought I couldnt dance
And you thought I couldnt dance

Im Still Alive
Woke up this mornin, just another day
Got myself out of bed in the usual way
Threw back the curtains and the sun was
Shinin
Well it seems these days
I got such good timin
Since I let you go
Well what do ya know
Guess I fooled everybody
Said Id love you till the day that I die
Even if you didnt love me
Sorry baby, I guess I lied
Youre gone and Im still alive
Oh yea
Im the kind of girl that never fails
To hang on to the past by my fingernails
And I cant help it even Im amazed
At how much better they look
Painted in pink sorbet
What took me so long
To sing this song
Guess I fooled everybody
Said Id love you till the day that I die
Even if you didnt love me
Sorry baby, I guess I lied
Youre gone and Im still alive
Oh yea
I said good-bye and I survived
Im still alive
Since I let you go
Well what do ya know
Guess I fooled everybody
Said Id love you till the day that I die

Growing Up In Public
Some people are into the power of power
The absolute corrupting power, that makes great men insane
While some people find their refreshment in action
The manipulation, encroachment and destruction of their inferiors
Growing up in public, growing up in public
Growing up in public, growing up in public with your pants down
Some people are into sadistic pleasures
They whet their desires and drool in your ears
Theyre quasi-effeminate characters in love with oral gratification
They edify your integrities, so they can play on your fears
Theyre gonna do you in public, cause youre growing up in public
Theyre gonna do it to you in public,
cause youre growing up in public with your pants down
Some people think being a man is unmanly
Some people think that the whole concepts a joke
But some people think being a man is the whole point
And then some people wish theyd never awoke
Up from a dream of nightmarish proportions
Down to a size neither regal nor calm
A prince hamlet caught the middle between reason and instinct
Caught in the middle with your pants down again
Caught in the middle, Im really caught in the middle
Im caught in the middle, caught in the middle deciding about you

Just Couldnt Wait
I miss her face, but the girl left seven years ago.
Guess I never shouldve let her go.
Thats how I feel because I love her so.
But Im afraid that she will never know.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til some day.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til some day, til some day.
Oh, tell me now, where do the broken-hearted go from here.
You missed her love and now youre steering clear.
I aint afraid of nothin but my fear.
The fear that she might see this rollin tear.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
Oh she couldnt wait til sunday no, til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.

Desinted For Glory
Once upon a time in a forlorn land,
A man on a mission was left at fates hand
In his eyes you could see the whites turn red
Surrounded by evil, abandoned for dead
Born on the run by the sign of the sun
A mail-clad warrior, the chosen one
His names been cursed, he is bound to fail
A wandering spirit with the will to prevail
By the sign of the moon,
He swore the oath to fight alone
Fight with your heart, and youre destined for glory
But fight without honor, and youre destined to fall
He still can recall his fathers words
Dont loose your faith, let your voice be heard
Echoes from the past will lead him on
By these words of honor, shine like the sun
By the sign of the moon
He swore the oath to fight alone
Fight with your heart, and youre destined for glory
But fight without honor, and youre destined to fall
Fight with your heart, and youre destined for glory
But fight without soul and you will loose it all
The prophecies spoke of a wandering man
Skilled with steel, black as the night
Normally veiled from the mortal eyes
His hammer arose like a magic force
With a gaze that turned everything into stone
The warrior spoke, I am the one
Fight with your heart, and youre destined for glory
But fight without honor, and youre destined to fall
Fight with your heart, and youre destined for glory
But fight without soul and you will loose it all
Fight with your heart, and youre destined for glory
But fight without honor, and youre destined to fall
Fight with your heart, and youre destined for glory
But fight without soul and you will loose it all

Miss The Lights
(intro) walking tall, full of tedious charm,
The smoothest (? ? ? ) in (? ? ? )
The mission boys all cross their palms
Dont you know who I am
I guess you miss the lights? huh!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Little caesar is prince of the city
? ? ?
In this town theres no pity
This man stands alone
I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Sometimes when youre all alone
And the blue turns to gray
Better get down on those pinky knees,
And you start to pray
I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Kiss-kissing your name
(instrumental)
A glimmering ? , a twilight star
And so much love for show,
A returning wave from the gallery bar
And share the afterglow
I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Ha!
I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame, haha!
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name

I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss everybody
Kiss-kissing your name

Turn your face down,
its your chance to meet the man.
When you saw that,
tha nightstick hit his head.
Saw it fall, on his skull,
you heard the sound that it made.
Impressed by the sound,
hes impressed with himself.
You stand in the way,
youre the next one down.
Call it like you see it,
no muted witness.
You stand in the way,
youre the next one down.
It might just break,
it just might break down.
Its in the way,
that you stand up for right,
thats why the old guards shaking.
It lets them know youre there.
It lets them know,
that you cant ignore, what you saw.
Lifting weights of conscious.
Story of tragic miscarriage.
You stand in the way,
youre the next one down.
Call it like you see it,
no muted witness.
You stand in the way,
youre the next one down.
It might just break,
just might break,
break down.
It just might take more than you have got.
Forgotten something,
aright you have got.
Stopping for nothing.
It might take more than you have got
