Worthless Thing
How many times can you jump out of the cupboard
Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered
You can live forever in a split second of fame
Come on down the price is right whats your name
While a crocodile makes good shoes and a dog may change his coat
I cant change whats written on your face tonight and I quote
Chorus
Oh I wish you could see
Quite how much you could mean to me
You worthless thing
If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome
I might pay this kings ransom
You worthless thing
They commit blue murder along union avenue
Then they sell you souvenir matches
Nightclubs full of grave robbers from memphis, tennessee
And las vegas body snatchers
And hes carrying a warning cant you see how his eyes glint
Keep your bloody hands off my life your affectionate fingerprint
Chorus
All the cars and pills and girls who tore his shirt to tatters
Do you know how tall he was cos that is all that really matters?
Do you know his mothers last name do you think that hes divine?
Youve seen the film youve read the book
Youre drinking vintage elvis presley wine
Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large
Theyll cut her down to size on television
Shes available and beautiful, but with more time to devote
Theyre going to take this cable now and stick it down your throat
So this is an obituary which should be right and fitting
For every clockwork cat and conceivable kitten

Walking In Memphis
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the delta blues
In the middle of the pouring rain w.c. handy -
Wont you look down over me yeah
I got a first class ticket
But Im as blue as a girl can be
Then Im walking in memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of beale
Walking in memphis but do I really feel the way I feel
Saw the ghost of elvis on union avenue
Followed him up to the gates of graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered tround his tomb
But theres a pretty little thing waiting for the king
Down in the jungle room
(chorus)
Theyre got catfish on the table
Theyre got gospel in the air
And reverend green be glad to see you
When you havent got a prayer
But boy youre got a prayer in memphis
Now muriel plays piano every friday at the hollywood
And they brought me down to see him
And they asked me if I would - do a little number
And I sang with all my might and he said -
Tell me are you a christian child?
And I said man I am tonight

Revival
So whats with your kind
You scavenge to find
What makes you supreme in design
Accuse you cause they had the fun
So differently divine
When my mind goes override
Its so typical to capture anonymity
I choose the crowd to divide
Chorus:
So you see I try
I cannot ever displace
You see Im jaded at times
From nowhere leaving this place
So you see me die
Right in front of your face
You see Im jaded at times
From nowhere leaving this place
They made us with a tool
Then they taught us how to live
We met the candyman
He filled us with his contraband
Then they scared us all away
Chorus
While youre visiting your bubble of reality
Salivating at the sound of the bells
Ill be seducing you through your confession
Theyve been the ones youve known forever
Someones been lied to
With all the rage
Caught us dismal at times
Weve known forever
Youve been denied of supervision
Just a test tube life away
How could you make believe
That weve grown through circumcision
When its right here next to me
Friendships change to time
Theyd never let us leave
You took your time
So too late
Missing what youve never had
Ill be the only one that knows
Just how weve been abused

Attitude
You go down the pub
You wear make up
And old dads trousers
Why dont you tidy up
You talk like a docker but you act like a queer
You drink champagne then complain its too dear
You try so hard not to follow any trends
Then you cry in your beer and say youve got no friends
But is it any wonder that youve got no friends
But its not the make up
Or the way you dress
Its not your appearance, that they all detest
Its not your manners, that you gotta improve
Ooooo--its your attitude.
Chorus
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Take off your head phones
Hear whats going on
You cant live in a time zone
Youve gotta move on
But before you get there
Theres one thing youve gotta do
Oh change your attitude
Its your attitude
Its your attitude
Chorus
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
The 80s are here, I know cuz Im staring right at them
But youre still waiting for 1960 to happen
You might have the illness, but youve got the cure
Youve got the answer, you will endure
Youre the only person thats gonna pull you through
Ooh, with your attitude
Chorus
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
You gotta learn to be positive, its your only chance
You mustnt be so defensive, you gotta join in the dance
But it isnt your dancing that youve gotta improve
Ooh, its your attitude.
Chorus
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Attitude, oo oo oo
Your attitude
Its all the music
Its all in your brain
Youve used all the old licks
Now its all gotta change.
Change your attitude
Its your attitude

And now you look like a lover but youre only a tourist

Dont start your morning moaning or you might wake up in luxembourg

You say that you love her when you really loathe her
Serves you right now she wants you to feed her and clothe her

Theyre smiling sweetly while theyre looking daggers
Kick you where it really matters
Send all your friends to coventry
And look for your name in last nights obituaries
If youve got the deutschmarks
If youve got the yen, then
You get the shirt off her back and the clock off big ben
Somebodys soft touch
Struck all these bargains
In the drinking clubs with the council men making
Plans to put lead back in their pencils again

Oh what are you gonna do
When theres a part of you
That needs to run with the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Stay out of shadows
Now look like the change is on
Tomorrows never gone
Today just never comes
Go on and jump,yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forger the pain
Its only there
To exorcise your mind
Looking at the world
When youve open up your eyes
Youve got to see the promises theyve made
Theyre bloody lies and broken dreams
Your silence screams
Chorus:
Youre living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that youve never seen
Somewhere youve never been
Youre living in a time machine
Oh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to catch the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking for the world
When youve opened up your eyes
Youll see youve got invisible chains
Theyre only lies
Not what it seems
I hear your silent screams
Chorus:
Youre living in a time machine
Nobody cares just where you go
Taken where youve never been

Stop trying, stop trying to call her,
She doesnt want your sympathy
Stop trying, stop trying to call her
Shes exactly what she wants to be.
She goes up and down but never goes out
Shes getting it all for free
Shes shadow boxing loosing the bout
Its pretty easy to see
I know youve, youve seen a better sight
You say you really wanna help
You better open your eyes, hey
We see the morning face in the bathroom mirror
Shes careful never to see
It tells a story of the sleepless nights
Not what she seems to be

You say you owe it to yourself
Youre gonna change your ways

Many Happy Returns
When I accepted this job
I was resigned to my fate
When I got there early
Shed arrive late
You can say shes gone forever
Or just sit tight and wait
She said I was unprincipled
That I was not the first
Like the phoenix coming back
From the ashes, uh-huh
I know whats good,
But I know what trash is
In the head-lights,
In the highlights of her hair...
Hit the head lines
But shes not there:
_ chorus:
Many happy returns
Many happy returns
These are the lessons I could have learned
Return. many happy returns
And these are the letters I should have burned
Okay, Im sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her
Like the world, spinning round
On its axis, uh-huh
I know democracy
But I know whats fascist
When shes gone, all I got to learn
Is the law of diminishing return
When shes here, one thing Ive found
Things get better second time around
_ chorus
Okay Im sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her
Now shes gone, shes gone away
Now shes gone forget her
Coming back another day
If youd only let her
Now shes gone, shes gone away
But shes gone forget her
Coming back another day
So why resurrect her?

Suspicious Look In Your Eyes
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Youve got that suspicious look in your eyes
Youve got that suspicious look in your eyes
Somehow at times I read your mind
You just float in a cloud above me
Youve no control of what you say
And no faith in the things that I do
If I question you
Its not because Im prying
I give you my best
So why dont you start trying
We used to act and think alike
No regrets after things that wed done
Youre changing all your thoughts of me
Youve no right to put me down this way
I believe in you
So it seems worth trying
You sound so sincere
But when I look at you
Youve got that suspicious look in your eyes
Youve got that suspicious look in your eyes
Break
At times I think it seems so clear
But your eyes plague my mind, its no use
They pierce, they glare, they seem to stare
If they spoke what a story theyd tell
I believe in you
So it seems worth trying
You sound so sincere
But when I look at you
Youve got that suspicious look in your eyes
Youve got that suspicious look in your eyes
Youve got that suspicious look in your eyes
Youve got that suspicious look in your eyes

If you need to change your style sometimes
To please and satisfy
Theyll call you a hypocrite
Youre giving birth to all new friends
Visions theyll never comprehend
Because theyre all so selfish

Everyone look at me chasing sirens
Demanding their attention
So selfish
Trying to discover whats wrong with my mind
So they started to upheaval
But you prompted the war
Youre still a hypocrite
Snapping the sleepers into motion
So their systems will change
Right now youre giving up but let me show you
Chorus
You like to be the center of attention dont you
Under the spell of another phase
So pretentious
Plastic uninvited
Dont you fnd it strange
How they wear their egos on their sleeves
Until they see your face
Dont you find it strange
How they wear their egos on their sleeves
Until they see your face

Stuck on the merry go around
Keep spinning, never want to come down

When all the wrong youve done will be your only friend

Stepping In Your Shoes

Life is ours for the living.
Only one shot
Whats the advice youre getting?
Work hard in school.
Learn the good rule and
Try to make good for you.

Hanging within the balance,
Helpless me.
I only want help to hear me
Evil and light
Caught in a fight.
Theyre trying to capture me.
But you cared about me now
Now and forever!

Therell never be anyone
Who can take the place of you;
Therell never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes.
Therell never be anyone
Giving it all to pull me through;
Therell never be anyone, (therell never be anyone)
Stepping in your shoes.
Only through you,
Sin on innocent shoulders,
Could you undo
Darkness power to hold us,
Once for all time,
Choosing to die;
Ill never deserve you.
And you cared about me now
Now and forever!

Till The Right Man Comes Along
Its time to face the music
Tonight I came to use it
You never know
Who youre gonna meet in here
I thought Id never find it
The dark and handsome kind
I used to dream of
And now youre standing there
Though youre looking good to me
It doesnt mean that you can do as you please
No no no no
Chorus
Oh baby youre the best thing in my life
But a one track mind is what you got
Oh baby youre the best bet here tonight
And a one track mind is worth a lot
Ive got no good reason to believe well last for long
But thats good enough for me till the right man comes along
Ive waited for a lover
The kind wholl stay forever
You look to me
Like the sort of man I need
Its not the best scenario
But now Ive found you Im letting you go
Chorus
Oh baby youre the best thing in my life
But a one track mind is what you got
Oh baby youre the best bet here tonight

Till the right man comes along

Midnight Blue
I see the lonely road that leads so far away,
I see the distant lights that left behind the day
But what I see is so much more than I can say
And I see you midnight blue.
I see you cryin now youve found a lot of pain,
And what youre searchin for can never be the same,
But whats the difference cos they say whats in a name.
And I see you midnight blue.
Chorus
I will love you tonight,and I will stay
By your side,lovin you,Im feelin midnight blue.
I see you standing there far out along the way,
I want to touch you but the night becomes the day,
I count the words that I am never gonna say
And I see you midnight blue.
Repeat chorus
Cant you feel the love that Im offering you,
Cant you see how its meant to be,
Cant you hear the words that Im saying to you,
Cant you believe like I believe,
Its only one and one its true
Still I see you midnight blue.
I see beautiful days and I feel beautiful ways
Of loving you,everythings midnight blue.
