Gymnasium
Cummings/Martin Armiger
|
When you pout, I walk out
It only serves to wet my anger
Your face is your fortune
Pretty as a picture
High and low, lying lovers
Nail me to the spot
Take me to the gymnasium
And you get me hot
It's a violent rain
All memories, I sleep here every night
Scratch the surface, it won't go away
Scratch the surface, it won't go away
Oh gymnasium
I go in, I go out
I work it out
High and low, lying lovers
Nail me to the spot
Take me to the gymnasium
And you get me hot
It's a violent rain
All memories, I sleep here every night
Scratch the surface, it won't go away
Scratch the surface, it don't go away
It's all debris, don't desert me
Of course I'd like to help you
No - I don't know why
High and low, lying lovers
Nail me to the spot
Take me to the gymnasium
And you get me hot
It's a violent rain
All memories, I sleep here every night
Scratch the surface, it won't go away
Scratch the surface, it don't go away
Oh gymnasium
I go in, I go out
I work it out
Oh gymnasium
I go in, I go out
I work it out
When you pout, I walk out
It only serves to wet my anger
Your face is your fortune
Pretty as a picture
High and low, lying lovers
Nail me to the spot
Take me to the gymnasium
And you get me hot
It's a violent rain
All memories, I sleep here every night
Scratch the surface, it won't go away
Scratch the surface, it won't go away
Oh gymnasium
I go in, I go out
I work it out
Oh gymnasium
I go in, I go out
I work it out
I go in, I go out
I work it out
Oh gymnasium
I go in, I go out
I work it out
Oh gymnasium
In, out
I work it out
Another Kick In The Head
Martin Armiger
|
Another kick in the head
Another smack in the mouth
Another lonely night
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I needed you
Another kick in the head
Another knife in my heart
Another lonely night
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I needed you
Finally got used to being alone
That's when you call me on the telephone
I've spent a whole life waiting for you
Now you just do just what you want to do
Another kick in the head
Another smack in the mouth
Another lonely night
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I needed you
When I think of all the things we did together
Spent with someone else having too much fun
Another kick in the head
Another smack in the mouth
Another lonely night
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I needed you
But I can't find the words to say
It's done, just go away
I can't find the words to say
It's done, it's done, just go away
It's not so bad when you're away
I do the same things everyday
There must be something I can do
To take this pain away
To stop this raining in my heart
Another kick in the head
Another smack in the mouth
Another lonely night
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I needed you
But I can't find the words to say
It's done, just go away
I can't find the words to say
It's done, it's done, just go away
Another kick in the head
Another smack in the mouth
Another lonely night
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I needed you
Walking Out The Door
Cummings/Martin Armiger
|
Every night I see your picture on the wall
I stick little pins in it
One day you'll call
You'll fall
You've been saying one thing
And meaning another
Talking like a friend
Acting like a lover
Playing me for a fool
Well you know your eyes can cut like a knife
Your face is all scared
Walking out the door
?With love looking? over your shoulder
Walking out the door
?With love looking? over your shoulder
Now I know all your friends
Are going to ring and ask what happened
I see their faces as I'm walking down the street
I know it's nothing to get upset about
But isn't that what love does?
Every night I see your number on my wall
I stick little pins in it
One day you'll call
You'll call
You've been saying one thing
And meaning another
Talking like a friend
Acting like a lover
Playing me for a fool
Well you're so ambitious
I just couldn't keep up the pace
Walking out the door
?With love looking? over your shoulder
Walking out the door
?With love looking? over your shoulder
My Mission Tonight
Cummings/Andrew Pendlebury
|
It's three o'clock in the morning
And you've used up the night
To keep the world quiet
And there's nowhere else to go
You've spent all your money
On expensive drinks
You both admit
That's it, lets call it quits
My mission tonight
To keep the world quiet
My mission tonight
To keep the world quiet
The things you have to do
The things you have to do
The tired old arguments are brought out again
You raise your glass
Yes it's always the same
You're left looking out the window
You wanna go
But you got to let her know
My mission tonight
To keep the world quiet
My mission tonight
To keep the world quiet
The things you have to do
The things you have to do
Your girl says you're driving her crazy
Sitting at the other end of the room
Your girl says you're driving her crazy
Sitting at the other end of the room
My mission tonight
It's three o'clock in the morning
And you've used up the night
To keep the world quiet
And there's nowhere else to go
You've spent all your money
On expensive drinks
You both admit
That's it, lets call it quits
My mission tonight
To keep the world quiet
My mission tonight
To keep the world quiet
The Company Turns Ugly
Cummings/Ian Stephen
|
You accuse me at the party
And the company turns ugly
Ambivalent, you came and you went
And the company turns ugly
I was screaming out of the window in the car
It was irregular
I was looking out the window
When you said
Shut up let's go
Amorous
Vaguely glamorous
And the company turns ugly
You sound angry
It's unnecessary
And the company turns ugly
You wore a funny look on your face
You looked out of place
I was looking out the window
When you said
Shut up let's go
The company turns ugly (think it over)
Can't you see why I'm angry (what's the matter think it over)
The company turns ugly (what's the matter)
Can't you see why I'm angry (what's the matter think it over we got company)
All of the time
You're always on my mind
And the company turns ugly
Such fidelity
It means a lot to me
And the company turns ugly
I was screaming out of the window in the car
It was irregular
I was looking out the window
When you said
Shut up, let's go
The company turns ugly (think it over)
Can't you see why I'm angry (what's the matter think it over)
The company turns ugly (what's the matter)
Can't you see why I'm angry (what's the matter think it over we got company)
You accuse me at the party
And the company turns ugly
Ambivalent, you came and you went
And the company turns ugly
You wore a funny look on your face
You looked out of place
I was looking out the window
When you said
Shut up let's go
The company turns ugly (think it over)
Can't you see why I'm angry (what's the matter think it over)
The company turns ugly (what's the matter)
Can't you see why I'm angry (what's the matter think it over we got company)
We All Make Mistakes
Cummings/Ian Stephen
|
Make mistakes
Make mistakes
Make mistakes
Make mistakes
Girl
Of all the girls I've met
You take the cake
Refused to admit
You've made a mistake
Shouldn't sweep me off my feet
If you can't stand the heat
No I don't want to meet your mother
Girl
You're much too much
You know you're quite a number of fine fellow
Shouldn't sweep me off my feet
If you can't stand the heat
No I don't want to meet your mother
Girl
Don't put on the brakes
We all make mistakes
Don't put on the brakes
We all make mistakes
Don't put on the brakes
We all make mistakes
Don't put on the brakes
We all make mistakes
Memories of long ago
Come filtering back
Like rubble rash and burn
You're so abstract
I said no-ones entitled to
Anymore of you
Than you want them to
Don't put on the brakes
We all make mistakes
Don't put on the brakes
We all make mistakes
Don't put on the brakes
We all make mistakes
Don't put on the brakes
We all make mistakes
Make mistakes
Make mistakes
Make mistakes
Make mistakes
We all make mistakes
Shouldn't sweep me off my feet
If you can't stand the heat
No I don't want to meet your mother
Take me someplace I don't know
You're just so-so
But there's no place left to go
We all make mistakes
Don't put on the brakes (make mistakes)
We all make mistakes
Don't put on the brakes (make mistakes)
Only A Lonely Man
Hunter/Verdi
|
Once I thought that love was a toy for girls and boys
I never gave my heart
I just played the part, right from the start
Then there was you, sweet you
With a love that I knew
I knew was true
But in my pride
I left you behind
Just hanging on now love is gone
Only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I've cried
Since I've lost you darling
Since you said goodbye
Only a lonely man would know
The hurt inside of me
Since I've let my pride make a fool of me
Ask any lonely man you see (Hurt me baby)
Ask any lonely person like me (Hurt me baby)
Foolishly girl, I broke my heart
Now we're apart
Now in my lonely room
I just reminisce long for you kiss
And through my lonely fears
I see straight ahead
Long lonely years
Without your love
My world, my world's at an end
Blank's closing in
Now I know
What I was too slow in learning
Now I know
Now that I'm all alone and yearning
Only a lonely man would know
The bitter tears I cry (only a lonely man)
Since I've lost you darling
Since you said goodbye
Only a lonely man would know
The hurt inside of me
Since I let my pride make a fool of me
Ask any lonely man you see (Hurt me baby)
Only a lonely man would know
The hurt inside of me
Stuck On Love
Cummings/Ian Stephen
|
Picturing you, picturing me
Backed up against the wall
Bob haircut, short shift
Five foot six inches tall
So unusual
Everybody can tell
So unusual
So you're stuck on love
Peek-a-boo eyes
Black cashmere
Full of contradictions
Terse words, a cold silence
Silly suspicions
So unusual
Everybody can tell
It's unusual
So you're stuck on love
You're curious
Stop talking, take note
Pay attention to me
You're so funny
I've become someone else
Stuck on love
You're so
Stuck on love
This Feeling Will Survive
Cummings/Ian Stephen
|
It's alive
This feeling will somehow survive
A mistake
That we'll have to remake
One to one
It seems complete
Roller skates
On your feet
I see how
Pieces fit together now
I'll admit
An idea takes hold and won't quit
Chipping away at an obsession
Problems of possession
This feeling will survive
It'll carry on (it'll carry on)
This feeling will survive
It'll carry on
Just as strong (carry on)
I can change
Superstitions that strike me as strange
Opportunity
Reconstruct our identity
One to one, it seems so complete
Roller skates on your feet
This feeling will survive
It'll carry on (it'll carry on)
This feeling will survive
It'll carry on
Just as strong (carry on)
Almost
Cummings/Ian Stephen
|
Walking with an angel
It's summer, now be serious
Disillusioned
Oh but not quiet close enough
Love shivers and turns itself inside and out
I see you
I have to shout
Am I dreaming
I suppose
Almost, almost
But I'll be sticking around
All the things we did together
Didn't we always have fun
Didn't always know just what we done
Backstabbers
Buff/McFadden/Whitehead
|
They smilin' in your face
All the time they want to take your place
Backstabbers, backstabbers
They're smilin' in your face
All the time they want to take your place
Backstabbers
All you fellas who have someone and you really care
Then it's all of you fellas who better beware
Somebody's out there to get your lady
A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Better look what's caught in their fist
And straight at your back
I don't think they'll miss
What they doin'?
I keep gettin' all these visits from my friends
They come to my house again and again and again
So they are there to see my woman
I don't even be home but they just keep on comin'
What can I do to get on the right track
I wish they'd take some of these knives off my back
What they doin'?
They're smilin' in your face
All the time they want to take your place
Backstabbers, backstabbers
They're smilin' in your face
All the time they want to take your place
Backstabbers, backstabbers
I Won't Give Up Your Love
Cummings/Ian Stephen
|
Abandoned
She's taken flight
And this time
She's gone for good
Keep away, this heart is a disaster zone
If I telephone
She wouldn't be home
It hasn't rained for half an hour
But nothing looks good tonight
Wild night spills out over this town
I can't keep away
Whenever you're around
So give up, give up your love
Give up, give up your love
Give up, I won't give up your love
(Your love, your love)
I won't
Relinquish your love
I refuse
To give up this ideal
Keep away I keep myself these days
Watching the world outsde
Go this way
