There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply
Oh just remember I don't decide
I got no reason it's all too much
You'll always find us out to lunch

Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty 
we're vacant
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty
A vacant

Don't ask us to attend 'cos we're not all there
Oh don't pretend 'cos I don't care
I don't believe illusions 'cos too much is real
So stop you're cheap comment 'cos we know what we feel

Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty 
we're vacant
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty 
we're vacant ah 
But now and we don't care

There's no point in asking you'll get no reply
Oh just remember a don't decide
I got no reason it's all too much
You'll always find me out to lunch
We're out on lunch

Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty 
we're vacant
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty 
we're vacant
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty ah
But now and we don't care

We're pretty
A pretty vacant
We're pretty
A pretty vacant
We're pretty
A pretty vacant
We're pretty
A pretty vacant

And we don't care

Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
Die young, stay pretty
 
Deteriorate in your own time (Deteriorate in your own time)
Tell 'em you're dead and wither away
Are you living alone or with your family?
A dried up twig on your family tree?
Are you waiting for the reaper to arrive?
Or just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth, love for youth
So, die young and stay pretty
 
Leave only the best behind
Slipping sensibilities
Tragedy in your own dream, oh
 
Oh, you sit all alone in your rocking chair
Transistor pressed against an ear
Were you waiting at the bus stop all your life?
Or just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth, love for youth
So live fast 'cause it won't last
 
Dearly near senility (Dearly near senility)
Was it good or maybe you won't tell?
 
Die young, and stay pretty
You gotta live fast, 'cause it won't last, no no no
Die young, and stay pretty
Live fast, 'cause it won't last, no no
Die young, stay pretty
You gotta live fast, 'cause it won't last, no no no
Die young, and stay pretty
Live fast, 'cause it won't last, no no no

Cheap holiday in other peoples misery

I don't wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to the new Belsen
I wanna see some history
Cause now I got a reasonable economy

Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
Now I got reason to be waiting
The Berlin wall

In sensurround sound in a two inch wall
I was waiting for the communist call
I didn't ask for sunshine and I got World War three
I'm looking over the wall and they're looking at me

Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason and I'm still waiting
Now I got a reason
Now I got a reason to be waiting
The Berlin wall

They're staring all night
And they're staring all day
I had no reason to be here at all
And now I got a reason
It's no real reason
And I'm waiting
The Berlin wall

I got to go over the Berlin wall
I don't understand this thing at all
I'm gonna go over the Berlin wall
I'm gonna go over the Berlin wall
I'm gonna go over the Berlin wall

Claustrophobia there's too much paranoia
There's too many closets
So when will we fall
And now I gotta reason
It's no real reason to be waiting
The Berlin wall

I got to go over the wall
I don't understand this thing at all
This third rate B movie show
Cheap dialogue
Cheap essential scenery
I got to go over the wall
I wanna go over the Berlin wall
Before they come over the Berlin wall
I don't understand this thing at all
I'm gonna go over the wall
I wanna go over the Berlin wall
I'm gonna go over the Berlin wall
Before they come over the Berlin wall
I don't understand this thing at all
Please don't be waiting for me

Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Ambition? ha!
If all i've heard is true,
There's nothin' much i can do
To change the world, it's irreversible.
But in what it lacks,
It's got a taste that smacks of somethin' irresistible.

 

Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.

 

Submission? yes!
Now i won't name names, and a secret's a secret,
But a hint's a hint or a clue.
You really want to know, you really want to go,
There's only two things you got to do.

 

Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.

 

Mother, mother.
Mother, mother.
Mother, mother.

 

My mission? ah, yes!
Everybody hear? everybody here,
It's a fate i all agree.
Sometimes you win, i never lose,
To me it's no mystery.

 

Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.
Gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell, gonna raise hell.

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

 

You say you're gonna leave
Gonna take that big white bird
Gonna fly right out of here
Without a single word
Don't you know you'll break my heart
When I watch you close that door
'Cause I know I won't see you anymore

 

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

 

Haven't I been good to you
What about that brand new ring
Doesn't that mean love to you
Doesn't that mean anything
If I threw away my pride
And I got down on my knees
Would I have to beg you, "pretty please"

 

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

 

There's so much I wanna do
I've got love enough for two
But I'll never use it girl if I don't have you

 

Don't pull your love out on me baby
If you do then I think that maybe
I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years
Don't pull your love out on me honey
Take my heart, my soul, my money
But don't leave me drownin' in my tears

Duch of the terrace never grew up
I hope she never will
Broken down TV sits in the corner
Picture's standing still
Standing still

Duch of the terrace knows all her heritage
Says she's Henry's kid
Knows all the history in her family
Needs a man, God forbid !
God forbid !

And it sounds like an empty house
Standing still
And it's quieter than a mouse
Standing still

Duch of the terrace never grew up
I hope she never will
Says she's an heiress, sits in her terrace

Says she's got time to kill
Time to kill

And the Rodney's are queuing up
God forbid !
And they all want to win the cup
God forbid !

Duchess - Duchess 
Duchess - Duchess 
Duchess - Duchess 

And the Rodney's are queuing up
God forbid !
And the Rodney's are queuing up
God forbid !
And the Rodney's are queuing up
God forbid !

Don't you like the way I move when you see me ?
Don't you like the things that I say ?
Don't you like the way I seem to enjoy it ?
When you shout things but I don't care

Something's happening and it's happening right now
You're too blind to see it
Something's happening and it's happening right now
Ain't got time to wait
I said something better change
I said something better change
I said something better change
I said something better change

Don't you like the way I dance ?
Does it bug you ?
Don't you like the cut of my clothes ?
Don't you like the way I seem to enjoy it ?
Stick my fingers right up your nose

I work hard, I'm saving my marks 
Watch what I do when I swim with the sharks 
A new race and a new way to race 
Feel ashamed as I live a disgrace 

Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage

They never told me what was the truth 
Just a young man losing his youth 
Sell cars, sell meat, selling anything 
Save up just to live like a king 

Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage

Bear cage
Bear cage
Bear cage
Bear cage

You can keep your Brussels and Amsterdam 
Give me back my summer in Dresden, man 
But they still got peace police over there 
Drawing lines on a map just to show I'm there 

Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage
Gee, (G.) I'm (M.) living (B.H.) in a bear cage

Bear cage

Strolling along minding my own business
Well there goes a girl and a half 
She's got me going up and down
She's got me going up and down
It's only your imagination
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches

 

See her for a moment
Well I got the notion girl that you got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours
Spread it all over my peelin' skin baby
That feels real good
All this skirt lappin' up the sun 
Lap me up
Why don't you come on and
Lap me up
Just what it is that brings her here
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches

 

See her for a moment
Well there goes another one just lying down on the sand dunes
I'd better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit
Coz you and me woman 
We got a lotta things on our minds (you know what I mean)
Covering everything
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches

 

Stars in the window
Will you just take a look over there (where?) there
Is she tryin' to get outta that clitares?
Liberation for women 
Thats what I preach
Preacher man
The air is like a murmur
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
All at once there's someone there
Oh s**t 
There goes the charabang
Looks like I'm gonna be stuck here the whole summer
Well what a bummer
I can think of a lot worse places to be
Like down in the streets
Or down in the sewer 
Or even on the end of a skewer

Late at night and I still can’t sleep
My body’s tired, but my thoughts are running deep
I guess I know just what you’re going through
Because I kind of feel the same way too
Looking back, there was nothing we could do

It’s not easy what you’re going through
You call me up, and I’m still wondering what to do
We both admit that it’s gone too far
We’re just trying to find out who we are
Lonely nights is something that I don’t want to see

Now your free and living fast
It’s not easy looking at the past
It gets harder every day when you’re running away

Running away

Looking back we shared a lot
Is it worth it all to let go of what we got
All at once you can’t ignore the fact
Some where some how we got off the track
Give it up, it’s changing you and changing me

If we have the chance to turn the clock back
Who knows how or when
Would it happen all again

Yeah, yeah
 
Just one more mornin'
I had to wake up with the blues
Pulled myself outta bed, yeah
Put on my walkin' shoes
Climb up on a hilltop, baby
To see what I could see, yeah
The whole world was fallin' down, baby
Right down in front of me
 
'Cause I'm hung up on dreams
I'm never gonna see, yeah
Lord help me, babe
Dreams get the best of me, yeah
 
Pull myself together
Gonna put on a new face, yeah
Climb down from the hilltop, baby
Lord, get back in the race
 
'Cause I got dreams, I've got my dreams
To remember the love we had
I got dreams, I've got my dreams
To remember the love we had
 
'Cause I'm hung up on dreams
I'm never gonna see yet, oh yeah
Lord help me, baby
Dreams get the best of me yet
 
Alright, yeah, yeah
 
Pull myself together
Put on a new face
Climb down from the hilltop, baby
Lord, get back in the race
 
'Cause I got dreams, I've got my dreams
To remember the love we had
I've got dreams, I've got my dreams
To remember the love we had
 
And I'm hung up, Lord, on dreams
I'm never gonna see yet
Not bad, not bad
Lord help me, baby
Dreams get the best of me yet
I wanna

Boogie woogie

The boys and the girls are all dancing around
Dancing all night to the crazy sound
It's the newest thing to hit this land
The boys and the girls are all holding hands

I said
Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go

I'm with my friend Bob having a good time
I've got me some speed and I'm doing fine
But Bob is not dancing no sir-ee
He's got a likely eye on a little lady

I said
Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go
What I say ?
I said
Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go

Yeah boogie now Dave...

Elbow rooming his way around the floor (oh)
You can see him he's sitting by the door (oh)
All the chickies they wanna see him dance some more
(ONE TWO THREE FOUR)

Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go

I see we're changing partners, but that's not for me
I notice Bob isn't joining the party
He's standing on the outside, looking in
Wishing that little chickie was with him

I said
Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go

The party is over and we're all going home
I can't find Bob so I'm leaving alone
But wait a minute, who is that, I can see ?
None other than Bob with that girl on his knee

I said
Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go
Tell me now
I said
Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go
Boogie

Yeah 
I said
Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go
What I said?
I said
Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go
One more time
I said
Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy Go Buddy, Go Go Go

Bonsoir
Ton vehicule n'a pas l'air d'avoir de passager
Peux-tu: Veux tu me recevoir
Sans trop te deranger ?
Mes bottes ne feront pas trop d'echos dans ton couloir
Pas de bruit avec mes adieux
Pas pour nous les moments perdus
En attendant un uncertain au-revoir
Parce que-j'ai la folie, oui c'est la folie
Il etait une fois un etudiant
Qui voulait fort, comme en literature
Sa copine, elle etait si douce
Qu'il pouvait presque, en la mangeant
Rejeter tous les vices
Repousser tou les mals

Detruire toutes beautes
Qui par ailleurs, n'avait jamais ete ses complices
Parces qu'il avait la folie, oui, c'est la folie
Et si parfois l'on fait des confessions
A qui les raconter - meme le bon dieu nous a laisse tomber
Un autre endroit, une autre vie
Eh oui, c'est une autre histoire
Mais a qui tou raconter?
Chez les ombres de la nuit ?
Au petit matin, au petit gris
Combien de crimes ont ete commis
Contre les mensonges et soi disant les lois du coeur
Combien sont la a cause de la folie
Parce qu'il ont la folie

Didn't have the money round to buy a Morry Thou
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes, I admit I even stole
The worse crime that I ever did was playing rock 'n roll.

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside
The air in here is pretty thin, I think I'll go outside
Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul
The worst crime that I ever did was play some rock 'n roll.

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know

Now I find from week to week the sentence sticking fast
Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last
Stranger from another planet welcome to our hole
Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock 'n roll

But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself
But the money's no good
Just get a grip on yourself

And you should know

As I was serving my town as DA

A cop came in to me and asked what crime to charge a man whose camel had two heads?

And I said

Does anybody really know what crime it is? (I don't)
Is anybody really scared? (If so, I don't know why)

Does anybody really know what crime it is?

We've more important cases to try.

 

As I was serving a term as DA

A citizen came in and asked what I would do to stop the bicephalous threat!?

And I said

Does anybody really know what crime it is? (I don't)

Is anybody really scared? (If so, I don't know why)

Does anybody really know what crime it is?

And we have bigger crimes to try.

 

Lucius Alexander

 

It is not a crime to keep and ride a palindromedary and even if it were, pursuing it would be a waste of police and prosecutorial time.

It was April the 41st - it being a quadruple leap year - and I was driving in downtown Atlantis.

My Barracuda was in the shop so I was driving a red Stingray, and it was overheating,

so I pulled into a Shell station.

They said I'd blown a seal.

I said, "Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay?"

 

While they were doing that I went across the street to the Oyster Bar - real dive.

But I knew the owner, Gill, 'cause he used to play ball the Dolphins.

I said, "HI,GILL!" - you have to yell, he's hard of herring.

 

So I bellied up the sand bar, ordered a Rusty Snail, hold the grunion,

with a peanut butter and jelly fish sandwich on the side, heavy on the mako.

I was feeling good. I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's Squids, for the halibut.

 

Well, the place was crowded.

We were packed in like sardines.

They were probably there to hear the Big Band sounds of Tommy Dorsil.

He was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna: Salmon-chanted Evening

and the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers - probably there to see the bass player.

 

Well, one of them was this cute little yellow tail, and she's givin' me the eye.

So I figured this was my chance for a little fun - you know, piece of Pisces...

but she said things I just couldn't fathom, she was too deep - seemed to be under a lot of pressure.

And boy could she drink.

She drank like a... she drank a lot.

 

And then she gives me that same old line, "Not tonight, I gotta haddock."

And she wasn't kiddin' either, 'cause in walked the biggest, meanest lookin' haddock

I'd ever seen come down the pike.

He was covered with muscles.

He said, "Hey, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here."

I said, "Abalone, you're just bein' shelfish."

 

Well, I could tell there was gonna be trouble and so could Gill 'cause he was already

on the phone to the cods.

The haddock hit me with a sucker punch.

I landed him with a left hook.

He eeled over.

It was a fluke, but there he was lying on the deck flat as a mackerel.

 

I said, "Forget the cods, Gill, this guy's gonna need a sturgeon."

Well, the yellow tail was pretty impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend.

She said, "Hey, big buoy, you're really a game fish.

What's your name?" I said..., "Marlin."

 

After that we had a whale of a time.

I took her to dinner.

I took her to dance.

I even bought her a bouquet of flounders, on porpoise.

And what did I get for my troubles?

A case of the clams.

So soon,
Just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes
So damned long
Before I feel how much 
My eyes have darkened

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper...
With a careless memory

On the table
Signs of love life scattered...
And the walls break
We go crashing within
It's not as though--
As though you really mattered
But being close,
How could I let you go
Without some feeling
Some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper...
With a careless memory

I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
But the whole place
It just screams in my eyes
Where are you now?
Cuz I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die--
I think I'd laugh at you--
I think I'd cry--
What am I supposed to do,
Follow you?

Outside the thoughts 
Come flooding back now...
I just try to forget you...
So easy to disturb
With a thought...
With a whisper...
With a careless memory...

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me
Please stay

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Was what I did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone ?

She sits alone by a lamp post
Tryin' to find the thought that's escaped her mind
She says, "Dad's the one I love the most
But Stipe's not far behind"

 

She never lets me in, only tells me where she's been
When she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care, I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away

 

And just let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be

 

This morning I woke up alone, found a note standing by the phone
Sayin', "Maybe, maybe I'll be back someday"
I wanted to look for you
You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself

 

Sayin' let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, let her be
No, no, no, no

 

Let her cry let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be, ah

 

Last night I tried to leave, cried so much I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
I sat down on my couch and cried, yellin'
"Oh, mama, please help me"
Won't you hold my hand and

 

Let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be

 

Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain
Let her go, let her walk right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be
Ah, let her be

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

 

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

 

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

 

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

 

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

 

Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

 

I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

Yeah

yeah

oh yeah

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you'll never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.

Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza

Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog when it clings to L.A.
We're closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue

And when it's sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding !
Happy New Year !

Me and my shadow
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at Jilly's right after Toot's Shore
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(here comes the party !)
For my shadow and me !

Say Frank ?
What is it, Sam ?
Do me a favour ?
What do you want, now ?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time ?
From the top ?
No ! From the ending !
Wonderful !

And while we are swinging, to mention a few
We'll drop in at Danny's, The Little Club too
But wind up at Jilly's, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee !
(Wow !)
For my shadow and me !

Frank ?
Oh, forget it Sam.

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

 

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

 

So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky

 

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

 

When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

 

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
Till I see Marianne walk away

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap !

Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap

You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap !

Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map

You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map

And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

A thorough knowledge
I've got about girls
I've been around
And after learning a lot about girls
This is the important fact I found

 

I've no proof when people say
I'm more or less aloof
But you're sensational
I don't care if you are called,
"The Fair Miss Frigidaire"
'Cause you're sensational


Making love is quite an art
What you require
Is the proper squire
To fire your heart
And if you say
That one fine day
You'll let me come to call
We'll have a ball
'Cause you're sensational, sensational
That's all, that's all, that's all
