The Sports: Suddenly
Suddenly

Cummings/Pendlebury

???

Saturday night
Every night
Still they want more
It's not enough that you swept me off my feet
You leave me waiting for an hour on my street
Please take me outside
I gotta talk to you
The place drives me to distraction
The coloured lights do too

Go to the ?wall?
I feel shattered
Look I'll be sick
The attendant grabs me
Throws me out quick
Is it ???? sadder situation ?????
You and the little girls?????
?????
Meet you like this
We make arrangements

  Suddenly (?shake?)
  Take us to the limits
  Suddenly (?shake?)
  Take us to the limits
  My limits are preset
  Teenage don't forget

  ???? get you home
  ???? get you home
  ???? get you home

Those magazines that you are not allowed
????? run with that ?wild? disco crowd

  Suddenly (?shake?)
  Take us to the limits
  Suddenly (?shake?)
  Take us to the limits
  My limits are preset
  Teenage don't forget

Saturday night
Every night
Still they want more
It's not enough that you swept me off my feet
You leave me waiting for an hour on my street
Please take me outside
I gotta talk to you
I wanna know all the things
That you do, do, do
Do, do, do
No Mama No

Martin Armiger

Mama didn't want me
Well she said I was a boy
She said
???
????
And you were make him so happy
You can ??? that little rosary
You can be ????????
?????
Just to show you that someone cares

  No mama no
  Don't make me wear that dress tonight
  I wanna go
  And be with the boys
  Everybody knows
  ??????pants on?
  I'm gonna get arrested some day

  Oh mama, no mama no

???????????
I took my ??????
?????? toilets
And there I did change
???????? comb my hair
????????
With girls I can't go wrong
I wear a ring in my ear
I'd just like to get one thing clear

  No mama no
  Don't make me wear that dress tonight
  I wanna go
  And be with the boys
  Everybody knows
  ??????pants on?
  I'm gonna get arrested some day

  Oh mama, no mama no mama no mama no mama no
  No mama no
  No

Haven't had a ciggy for a week
People look at me like I'm a freak
So, so tired of being with the girls

  Oh mama no
  Oh mama no
  Oh mama no

  No mama no
  Don't make me wear that dress tonight
  I wanna go
  And be with the boys
  Everybody knows
  ??????pants on?
  I'm gonna get arrested some day
Between Us

Cummings/Andrew Pendlebury

Well I don't believe it
Not a single word
It just must be something
That you've heard

A talk is out
All over town
They say I've been letting you down
Fooling around

 Between us, between us
 Only if you must
 Just between us
 Between us

Between us there's a special bond
And it won't be torn apart
Your presence is always
Close to my heart

Well I don't believe it
Say what you will
My head aches, someone give me some pills
And no-one's been allowed
To even sneak a look
I wanted you so much
Didn't care what you took
That's some crummy book

Between us there's a special bond
And it won't be torn apart
Your presence is always
Close to my heart

[guitar solo]

Between us there's a special bond
And it won't be torn apart
Your presence is always
Close to my heart

  Between us, between us
  Only if you must
  Just between us
  Between us
  Only if you must
  Just between us
  Between us
  Only if you must
  Just between us
  Between us
Go

Cummings/Andrew Pendlebury

???? between the car lights
Making faces ????
???? on the train
And it rocks to and fro
Out of breath running walking hand in hand
The piece don't fit
I don't understand

Steal softly through the night
Tuck my fingers in ??? sleeve
Rain ????
I can hardly, hardly see
Kill some time
Caught in a grip
Rearrange the furniture
The moment slips
There's no way of knowing
If you think you're going
You might as well

  Go, go
  Go, go

And I worried about you too
And I worried about you too
And I worried about you too
About you too

There's ??? way of knowing
If you think you're going
You might as well

  Go, go
  Go, go
  Go, go

????
???? of that
Light flickers across the room
I smell a rat
Soon never comes
And if it does it's always too late
I say it'll just take a second
But all you ever do is just wait

  Go, go
  Go, go
  Go, go
Strangers On A Train

Martin Armiger

I
Told you everything
Everything that mattered
You
I said you could help me
On a certain matter

I don't know what to do about you
What if you walk away

  I got a problem I can't explain
  It keeps on twistin' round in my brain
  When we meet
  It's got me beat
  We're just like strangers on a train (strangers on a train)
  Strangers on a train

I
I wish I'd never opened my big mouth to you
Give me four good reasons why
We should be livin' in the same world
Little by little we die

I don't know what to do about you
But if you walk away

  I got a problem I can't explain
  It keeps on twistin' round in my brain
  When we meet
  It's got me beat
  We're just like strangers on a train (strangers on a train)
  Strangers on a train

And I don't know what to do about you
And I don't know how to see it through
And I don't know what to say to you

  I got a problem I can't explain
  It keeps on twistin' round in my brain
  When we meet
  It's got me beat
  We're just like strangers on a train (strangers on a train)
  Strangers on a train (strangers on a train)
  Strangers
  Strangers
  Strangers
  Strangers
It Hurts

Cummings/Wilson/Andrew Pendlebury

???? neon sign
Taxi ride across town
Where the city streets
Meets the night ties me down

So much ?tighter???
So much ????
It hurts
It all gets too much
???????????
It hurts

  It hurts
  Outside on the cold cold ground
  It hurts
  Each time you let me down
  It hurts
  Won't hapen anymore
  It hurts
  When you say sorry sorry it hurts

???? all night again
You changed just changed you're not the same
????
It hurts
Buy me a drink
Let me think it
It hurts

  It hurts
  Outside on the cold cold ground
  It hurts
  Each time you let me down
  It hurts
  Won't happen anymore
  It hurts
  When you say sorry sorry it hurts

It hurts
Nobody else is gonna do a thing for me
For me

  It hurts
  Each night on the cold cold ground
  It hurts
  Each time you let me down
  It hurts
  Won't happen anymore
  It hurts
  When you say sorry sorry it hurts
Murmurs

Cummings/Andrew Pendlebury




I Tried To Love Her

Martin Armiger




Blue Hearts

Cummings/Martin Armiger

Blue hearts beat as one
I ???? safer when they're gone
Blue hearts toe the line
From back when you were nearly mine
I said I was sorry
I wouldn't do it again
I thought you were my friend
I thought you were my friend

  Blue hearts are falling
  Blue hearts are falling
  I'm falling
  I'm falling
  I'm falling
  And it don't ever stop (don't stop)
  And it don't ever stop (don't stop)

Blue hearts holding hands
Telephone ???????
Blue hearts cost no more
?Face turns blue? on the floor
Yeah I surrender
It goes against my will
Heart sinks to the floor
It sinks there still
Heart sinks to the floor
It sinks there still

  Blue hearts are falling
  Blue hearts are falling
  I'm falling
  I'm falling
  I'm falling
  And it don't ever stop (don't stop)
  And it don't ever stop (don't stop)
  Hey you stop me

  Blue hearts are falling
  Blue hearts are falling
  I'm falling
  I'm falling
  I'm falling
  And it don't ever stop (don't stop)
  And it don't ever stop (don't stop)
  And it don't ever stop (don't stop)
  And it don't ever stop (don't) stop (stop) stop stop stop me
Perhaps

Cummings/Wilson

We never meet 
Now and then I see her
As she vanishes up some escalator
On the street she just turns the other way
She walks right on by
Turns ???my face?
Some thoughts even I
I can't erase (I can't erase)

  Perhaps, perhaps
  You just don't want to know
  Perhaps, perhaps
  You don't want to know
  Perhaps, perhaps
  You just don't want to know
  Perhaps, perhaps
  You don't want to know

Perhaps, perhaps

Tear out the headlines from the ?bits? on the bed
Play with the radio she runs through my hair
Wrap around ?an idea? I can't tell
?Try one yourself?
?Keep you in my blues?
Must we hide in suspense
When red turns to blue (red turns to blue)

  Perhaps, perhaps
  You just don't want to know
  Perhaps, perhaps
  You don't want to know
  Perhaps, perhaps
  You just don't want to know
  Perhaps, perhaps
  You don't want to know

Perhaps
But you don't want to know
Perhaps, perhaps
You don't want to know

She walks right on by
Turns ?in my face?
Some thoughts even I
I can't erase (I can't erase)

  Perhaps, perhaps
  You just don't want to know
  Perhaps, perhaps
  You don't want to know
  Perhaps, perhaps
  You just don't want to know
  Perhaps, perhaps
  You don't want to know
The Lost and The Lonely

Cummings/Andrew Pendlebury

It's disturbing me
A town without pity
Work through the nights
For the lost and the lonely
Midnight the needle meets the vinyl
The rare cut is final
Strange phone calls from who I can't tell
I do my job well
I do my job well

  The lost and the lonely
  The lost and the lonely
  The lost and the lonely
  Here on the radio tonight
  Here on the radio tonight
  Here on the radio tonight
  Here on the radio

To kill some time I watch the clock in the studio
The kings of trivia, kings of late night radio
How do you fix up a broken heart
You simply just chop out the part
And forty minutes left I grab my hat and go
I just don't want to know
I just don't want to know

  The lost and the lonely
  The lost and the lonely
  The lost and the lonely
  Here on the radio tonight
  Here on the radio tonight
  Here on the radio tonight
  Here on the radio

There's this letter from a mother of three
She wants to hear Gene Pitney
She's got to hear Gene Pitney

  The lost and the lonely
  The lost and the lonely
  The lost and the lonely
  Here on the radio tonight
  Here on the radio tonight
  Here on the radio tonight
  Here on the radio (Repeat till fade)
Never Catch Her
