Cross a windy bridge
one winter night
Past Embankment Gardens
enter warmth and light
Face the music
(it's never easy)
Forget the chill
Face the future
(it's never easy)
Find the will
If life is worth living
it's got to be done
One might be forgiven
for thinking
it's a life on the run
Many roads will cross through
many lives
but somehow you survive
Look around
Picture what's in store
Is this the final edit
or is the subject now a bore?
Don't shrug your shoulders
(it's always easy)
You can't ignore
That life is worth living
it's still worth a damn
One might be forgiven
for thinking
it's something of a sham
Many words may make it sound contrived
but somehow we're alive
(The survivors)
Our heads bowed
(The survivors)
At memorials for other faces in the crowd
Teachers and artists
(it's never easy)
and Saturday girls
in suits or sequins
Will you love me or leave me?
I’m here, retrieve me
Don’t say it’s over, over, over
Come on, don’t fight it
The time’s still right for it
And it’s not over, over, over
I need some meaning
Expressed with feeling
It’s not over, over, over
The way you look at me
It speaks of intimacy
And it’s not over, over, over
Come on
Why not?
Thursday, then Friday
It’s soon going to be the weekend
Let’s start it tonight, Babe
Stay with me for the weekend
It’s Thursday night
Let’s get it right
I want to know you’re going to stay for the weekend
Starting tonight
Let’s do it right
I want to know you’re going to stay for the weekend
I want to know you’re going to stay for the weekend
Stay with me for the weekend
It could be now
Could be tomorrow
But it’s not over, over, over
I’m lost in a dream
About you and me
And it’s not over, over, over
And when I wake
I’ll call it fate
That it’s not over, over, over
Today, tomorrow
Just speak, I’ll follow
And it’s not over, over, over
Come on
Why not?
Thursday, then Friday
It’s soon going to be the weekend
Let’s start it tonight, Babe
Stay with me for the weekend
It’s Thursday night
Let’s get it right
I want to know you’re going to stay for the weekend
Starting tonight
Let’s do it right
I want to know you’re going to stay for the weekend
I want to know you’re going to stay for the weekend
Stay with me for the weekend
(Rap d’Example)
Take that trip down memory lane
Where you’re never gonna feel the same<

I think of you
and wonder who
you are and what's your line
I wonder if
there's someone else
or if it's true that I'm
the only one
in your life
I only worry
for your own sake
I don't know much about
the deals you make
There's so much that
you hide from me
The mystery:
am I the only one?
The only one
(The only one
The only one
The only one)
I don't know you
You don't know me
I wonder what we share
It's just that now
and then you smile
and suddenly I know you care
and I'm the only one
for a while
Though you‘ve many reasons
to tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be
for you and you for me
the only one
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
(Yeah)
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
It's another world here
The streets are gleaming
I was even dreaming
That they're paved with gold
Seventeen, at half past ten
All the crowds are surging past
An electric display
There's another world here
Below shop windows
Upon the pavement
Where you wave goodbye
Boys and girls
Come to roost
From Northern parts
And Scottish towns
Will we catch your eye?
While you pretend not to notice
All the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over
As you leave the Theatre
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
It's another world here
Somebody is singing (Yeah)
I was only wishing
For a bit of cash
From a patron of the arts
Or at least the phantom of the opera
Will I catch your eye?
While you pretend not to notice
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu Tu ru tu tu tu tu Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
All the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu Tu ru tu tu tu tu Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
As you leave the Theatre
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Ha ha ha ha...)
(Everybody)
(Everybody)
(Everybody)
(Everybody)
(Everybody)
(Everybody)
(Everybody)
(Everybody)
Pavarotti in the park
Then you walked back up the Strand
Did you catch my eye?
And then pretend not to notice
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu Tu ru tu tu tu tu Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
All the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over
(Tu ru tu tu tu tu Tu ru tu tu tu tu Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
As you leave the Theatre
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
Floods of tears and doors slamming
Stamping feet across the landing
Because of your obligation
To stay home and fight
Sitting down to a composition
Test the limits of your inhibition
If the phone hasn't rung by midnight
It's over tonight
If someone tried, you'd realise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
Piles of toast and broken promises
Among the books and pens and reading glasses
It seems there's no escape from the humdrum
It's over and done
If someone tried, you'd realise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
If someone cried, you'd sympathise
It's just a boy or a girl
It's not the end of the world
At midnight in desperation
Imagine total teenage destruction
The Prophets all predicted extinction
The Virgin spoke in apparitions
And if it all came to pass now
You feel we'd all deserve it somehow
Lost in the high street, where the dogs run
Roaming suburban boys
Mother's got a hairdo to be done
She says they're too old for toys
Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen
In this suburban hell
And in the distance a police car
To break the suburban spell
Let's take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
Break the window by the town hall
Listen, the siren screams
There in the distance, like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams
Let's take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
It's on the front page of the papers
This is their hour of need
Where's a policeman when you need one
To blame the colour TV?
Let's take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
Take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
I hate you
I hate you
Nothing will ever be the same
Oh really
Don't be silly
I told you it was all a game
Whenever I see you or your work
It makes me feel like spitting
What's that noise?
Oh that
We've been expecting it for ages
It's the sound of the atom splitting
He's a villain,
Him over there
With a stocking on his head
Look, there's another one
They call themselves pinheads
What's that noise over there?
Is it the corrogated iron they're hitting?
No, no, it's perfectly normal
It's just the sound of the atom splitting
Whose side are you on anyway?
Is that some kind of threat?
Well, I suppose it will have to do
As long as you don't make too much mess
And would the last person to leave
- Once you all finish kissing -
Turn the video on to record
You never know what you're missing
Bread and circuses
And maybe later
The sound of the atom splitting
Quiet at the back, please!
No whistling
It's the sound
The sound
The sound of the atom splitting
I hate you
I hate you
Quiet at the back, please!
No whistling
I doublecross you
And you get mysterious mail
I've tried hard not to shock you
It's hard not to with the things I could say
Tell me why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
Why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
You lock your letters in a box
And you've hidden the key
I go one better - I'm indebted
To a contact magazine
Tell me why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
Why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for us?
Everybody's got to live together
Just to find a little peace of mind there
If you give up your affairs forever
I will give up mine
But it's hard
So hard
I'm always hoping you'll be faithful
But you're not, I suppose
We've both given up smoking 'cause it's fatal
So whose matches are those?
Tell me why don't we try
Not to break our hearts and make it so hard for ourselves?
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
(How long will you do some more?)
(How long will you do some more?)
(You got to You got to - Love Love)
(Come on, how long will you do some more?)
(How long will you do some more?)
(LoLoLoLoLove)
(Aah) What do you want? (Aah)
(Aah) What do you want? (Aah)
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
(How long will you do some more?)
(How long will you do some more?)
(You got to You got to - Love Love)
(How long will you do some more?)
(How long will you do some more?)
(LoLoLoLoLove)
(Oh) What do you want?
(Oh) What do you want?
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
(How long will you do some more?)
(How long will you do some more?)
(You got to You got to - Love Love)
We're buying and selling your history
