Good Fortune 03:29
lyrics

If I won a fortune what would I need I’m not sure what I’d buy Could I find true happiness in this world Well I’d like to think I’d surely try A lucky dip my premium bond And you never know But the chances seem like a million to one And I’m not a lucky so and so I could buy a new guitar Spend a fortune on a football team But all I really want is you Yes you’re my only dream A lucky dip my premium bond And you never know But the chances seem like a million to one And I’m not a lucky so and so I often dream of good fortune It’s no fun being poor But if I could only win your heart I’d be a happy man for sure I could afford to pay Doctor Who And use his time machine I’d travel back in time to win your love You know I’d try anything A lucky dip my premium bond And you never know But the chances seem like a million to one And I’m not a lucky so and so Yes I’m not a lucky so and so

Bright Blue Eyes That Shine 03:02
lyrics

Around the cafes the boulevards The busy streets and all their facades Framed in this urban tapestry The scent of her perfume caught on the breeze And when you’re in your lonely room You dream of her amidst the gloom You dream of her for a while You long to see those bright blue eyes that shine She looks so perfect at the boutique In the crowd you know she’s unique Buying a dress with a beautiful bow Follow her gaze that you wish you could know And when you’re in your lonely room You dream of her amidst the gloom You dream of her for a while You long to see those bright blue eyes that shine Around the corner she passes from view For just a moment she looks at you You try to follow but she’s lost in the crowd If you knew her name you’d shout it out loud And when you’re in your lonely room You dream of her amidst the gloom You dream of her for a while You long to see those bright blue eyes that shine

Distant faces hide their secrets moving closer to the sound Distant faces hide their promises broken trust now to the winds Can you see me Can you see me See me falling down Can you see me Can you see me See me falling down Down Distant faces hide their movements touching softly to the sound Distant faces hide their secrets straying further to the wind Can you see me Can you see me Can you see me falling down Can you see me Can you see me Can you see me falling down Down Can you see me Can you see me See me falling down Can you see me See me see me See me falling down Down

I can’t concentrate at all today Cos thinking about her just gets in the way My life just feels so incomplete Another lonely week down losers street But when she talked to me I loved every word But she’s spoken for so I’ve heard Yes when she talked to me I loved every word But she’s spoken for so I’ve heard I ain’t been sleeping well at night And I ain’t got much of an appetite Cos it ain’t food I crave I just want your loving babe But when she talked to me I loved every word But she’s spoken for so I’ve heard Yes when she talked to me I loved every word But she’s spoken for so I’ve heard But when she talked to me I loved every word But she’s spoken for so I’ve heard Yes when she talked to me I loved every word But she’s spoken for so I’ve heard

The most beautiful girl from Torquay With the prettiest eyes I've ever seen She takes my breath away I wish I could see her every day And though her hair is turning grey I don't mind I love her anyway The most beautiful girl from Torquay With the loveliest smile I've ever seen I dream I could kiss her soon If she loved me I'd be over the moon And though her hair is turning grey I don't mind I love her anyway This longing in my heart Will never ever stop The most beautiful girl from Torquay With the prettiest eyes I've ever seen She takes my breath away I wish I could see her every day And though her hair is turning grey I don't mind I love her anyway The most beautiful girl from Torquay

Made a mistake 02:16

Strange dreams careering through my head Another restless night ahead I’ve been here so many times before That I just don’t think I can take anymore Take anymore take anymore I just don’t think I can take anymore I can’t relax don’t know what to say Feeling anxious throughout the day There’s not enough time and I’ve left it too late And I kind of get the feeling that I’ve made a mistake Made a mistake made a mistake I’ve got a feeling that I’ve made a mistake What shall I do Now I just don’t know what to do What shall I do Cos I’ve made a mistake I’ve Made a mistake I’ve got a feeling that I’ve made a mistake Strange dreams careering through my head Another restless night ahead I’ve been here so many times before That I just don’t think I can take anymore Take anymore take anymore I just don’t think I can take anymore

The Dark Lord 02:14
lyrics

Earth maidens follow in his footsteps As he walks up to the stage Images of Ming the Merciless And goths out on parade And so he makes final entrance And then no more they say The dark lord with satanic face paint As the band begins to play Earth maidens dance to his keystrokes Gyrating before the stage Dressed in leather studs and bracelets To his music they are enslaved But the band will lose the dark lord For he has been betrayed Whispered rumours about the dark lord The audience outraged

Attractive slim at fifty three Likes the theatre and good company She’s single and alone Just waiting by the telephone Waiting by the telephone Just waiting by the telephone Waiting by the telephone Young at heart at forty seven Blue green eyes made in heaven She’s single and alone Just waiting by the telephone Waiting by the telephone Just waiting by the telephone Waiting by the telephone Farmer’s daughter at thirty nine Likes fresh air and the countryside She’s single and alone Just waiting by the telephone Waiting by the telephone Just waiting by the telephone Waiting by the telephone Then there’s Claire a single mum Twenty five years old who wants some fun She’s single and alone Just waiting by the telephone Waiting by the telephone Waiting by the telephone Waiting by the telephone

I wake every morning around about five You can’t hear me crying inside Although I’m lying next to you I’m a thousand miles away what can I do There was a time when life was sweet And everything was perfect and so complete Please bring back my happiness It’s light years away I’m lost in the darkness Please help me Please help me Won’t you won’t you please help me Maybe it’s time to say goodbye I’m sorry that I can’t explain why I feel guilty won’t you hear my plea I’m so lonely please help me I’m so lonely please help me

Alley Cat 02:06
lyrics

She’s the coolest chick on the retro scene And her love is just like nitro glycerine She drives a fifty nine red chevrolet And you’d better watch out if she drives your way She’s got a tattoo that’s hidden from view And late at night she might show it to you Oh alley cat she can rock and roll she knows where it’s at Oh go cats go see Miss Alley Cat do the stroll She’s got a crazy apartment on the second floor All the coolest cats are queuing at her door The jukebox plays until late at night You should see her dance she’s just out of sight She’s got a tattoo that’s hidden from view And late at night she might show it to you In her heels and stockings she knows how to dress She’s the queen of style she can only impress Her ears are pierced and her tongue is too In her navel sits a diamond of blue She’s got a tattoo that’s hidden from view And late at night she might show it to you She’s got a tattoo that’s hidden from view And late at night she might show it to you
