I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
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 apologise
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 realised
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
I don't care what these commentators say
I swear I don't care
for what difference do they make?
I go where I go
and I get there fast
Don't stop me I know
that it's not gonna last
If you see someone gorgeous
then you think
am I in with a chance?
Should I try?
Buy a drink?
Or maybe it's too much
like hard work tonight
But if they look my way
I might be alright
You dress me up, I'm your puppet
You buy me things, I love it
You bring me food, I need it
You give me love, I feed it
And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything, it's easy
You buy whatever I need
But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
You phone me in the evening on hearsay
And bought me caviar
You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To tell me who you are
We never-ever argue, we never calculate
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
I'm your puppet
I love it
And look at the two of us in sympathy
And sometimes ecstasy
Words mean so little, and money less
When you're lying next to me
But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) Ooh, I love you, you pay my rent
Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent
Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
They call this a community
I like to think of it as home
Arriving at the airport
I'm going at it alone
Ordering a boarding pass
Travelling in business class
This is the name of the game
I'm single bilingual
Single bilingual
I come to the community from U.K. p.l.c.
Arriving at my hotel there are faxes greeting me
Staying in a junior suite
so there's room to meet and greet
and after work explain how I feel
'Perdoneme me llamo Neil'
I'm single bilingual
Single bilingual
In Brussels
Bonn or Barcelona
I'm in demand and quite at home
there 'Adelante'
Through the door
'Un momento por favor'
This is what I get paid for
'Muchas gracias senor'
The night was long
Now the crowd has gone
there's sunlight on my bed
Feels like a radiophonic
workshop's
beaming straight into my head
It could make you weep
I can't get to sleep
There's ringing in my ears
like a radiophonic workshop
orchestrating all my
stupid fears
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love
My skin is itching
I'm totally twitching
with the pounding in my head
like a dub sub-sonic beat-box
booming bass under the bed
My hands are shaking
My mind is aching
with a feeling deep inside
that you've been staring
sending signals
every time our paths collide
I know what you think
It's clear as mud in your eyes
We're the plastic poseurs and prostitutes
You've obviously come to despise
But you don't know nothing
You're not hot enough to matter
You don't understand it's the glamorous life
A dream that no one can shatter
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all
I'm ambitious
Believe me, I'm going to be big
I'm a slave to glamour
Applause and clamour
My makeup, my wardrobe, my wigs
Don't call me pathetic
I'm harder than you'll ever guess
Relentlessly tough, for when the going gets rough
The tough get their picture in the press
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all
(Anything, anything, anything at all)
(We'll do anything, anything, anything at all)
(We'll do anything, anything, anything at all)
(We'll do anything, anything, anything at all)
[It's going perfectly alright]
[How dare you? Do you know who I am?]
[It's an absolute disgrace]
Tell me you love me
Admit it, you're really impressed
Would it not amuse you
For me to seduce you
Have you ever seen me undressed?
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (Give me fift

(Money)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 (Oooooooh)
You've got the brawn, I've got the brain
Let's make lots of money
(Money Money Money)
Money (Money Money)
(Aaaah ah ah ah ah aaaah)
Money (Money)
(Aaaah ah ah ah ah aaaah - Di du da di da bu di ba)
(Money)
You can see I'm single-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
When the storm clouds are riding through a winter sky
Sail away, sail away
When the lovelight is fading in your sweetheart's eye
Sail away, sail away
When you feel your song
is orchestrated wrong
Why should you prolong your stay?
When the wind and the weather blow your dreams sky high
Sail away, sail away, sail away
When your life seems too difficult to rise above
Sail away, sail away
When your heart feels as dreary as a worn-out glove
Sail away, sail away
But when soon or late
you recognise your fate
That will be your great, great day
On the wings of the morning with your own true love
Sail away, sail away, sail away
They close your eyes, and the doctor says it's too late
You wonder why your life passes before you
In the dark, you slip into a coma
You crash the car, you've gone too far
Policemen flash, they want credentials
You go too fast, but you're not careful
So you drive back home, in confusion, alone
She's a man, but when you get down to it
She says ";Sure you can";, you'll make love to her
She says ";My place or yours?";, drinks are poured
They'll keep you dance forever, so you dance together
To make a move now seems essential
Someone stares at you; the propagator has potential
To replace the other who just rediscovered another
'Cause you think you might need a lover
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another
What's going on tonight? You think you might discover
So you pour a drink, and start to think about another
You get the sack when you turn up late
You think: Get this pressure off my back
With the deadlines missed, your boss gets pissed
You fail your test, you're so depressed
And the job begins to suffer
And the job begins to suffer
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another
And oh, my god, look, you have just discovered
The way that one thing can lead to another, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
One thing leads to another, yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It can lead to another
And the job begins to suffer for the love you have lost
'Cause you care such a lot about the job you've got
You couldn't care less, you're in such a mess
And life's t
