[Verse 1]
There is a better fight
A cause close to my heart
The struggle against loneliness
That's tearing you apart

[Chorus]
Where you gonna run to now from loneliness
(Loneliness)
Who you gonna turn to out of loneliness
(Loneliness)

[Verse 2]
Like Ringo walking by the canal
Downcast and alone
You're taking time to play that part
A man who skims a stone

[Chorus]
Where you gonna run to now from loneliness
(Loneliness)
Who you gonna turn to out of loneliness
(Loneliness)
When you gonna not say "no" and make the answer "yes"
Who is here to help you out
Oh, tell me, can't you guess

[Post-Chorus]
(Loneliness)
(Loneliness)

[Verse 3]
Wherever you go, you take yourself with you
There's nowhere you can hide
From the loneliness that's haunting your life
The sense of wounded pride
Everybody needs time to think
Nobody can live without love

[Chorus]
Where you gonna run to now from loneliness
(Loneliness)
Who you gonna turn to out of loneliness
(Loneliness)
When you gonna not say "no" and make the answer "yes"? (Loneliness)
Who is here to help you out
Oh, tell me, can't you guess? (Loneliness)

[Post-Chorus]
(Loneliness)
(Loneliness)
(Loneliness)
(Loneliness)
(Loneliness)
(Loneliness)

[Chorus]
Where you gonna run to now from loneliness
(Loneliness)
When you gonna not say "no" and answer "yes"
(Loneliness)
Who you gonna turn to now from loneliness
(Loneliness)
Who could come and help you out? Oh, can't you guess
(Loneliness)
When you gonna not say "no" and make the answer "yes"
Who is here to help you turn your back on loneliness

[Outro]
(Loneliness)
(Loneliness)
(Loneliness)
(Loneliness)

[Intro]
I would never let you down
I will wait

[Verse 1]
All those stories you told
Conjure crimson and gold
And I’d like to hear more
As the stories unfold
I’m on my way
I’m here at the station
Catch a train then a bus
Well I’ve got it all sussed
Wait, they unlock the doors
There’s so much to discuss
When you see a friend
Who’s been sent away

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes a look
Speaks more than you say

[Chorus]
You make me feel like
Nobody else can
You make me feel like
Nobody else’s man

[Refrain]
I would never let you down
I will wait

[Verse 2]
Through the gate when you leave
There’s a fresh winter breeze
On the terrace it feels
Like a Rossetti frieze
The ghost of a man
Who’s lost in a rapture
I’m counting the days
Till you get away

[Chorus]
You make me feel like
Nobody else can
You make me feel like
Nobody else’s man

[Bridge]
You make me feel like
You make me feel like
Nobody else can
Nobody else can

[Verse 3]
Then outside there’s the moon
It’s so high and too soon
If you sang me a song
I’d accompany the tune
I’m counting the days
Till you get away
Sometimes a look
Speaks more than you say

[Chorus]
You make me feel like
Nobody else can
You make me feel like
Nobody else can
You make me feel like
Nobody else can
You make me feel like
Nobody else’s man

[Refrain]
I would never let you down
I will wait

[Verse 1]
How did I get here
Who did I ever harm
I hope I'm an honest man
No cause for alarm

[Chorus]
Why am I dancing
When I’m so alone
What do I have to celebrate
Here on my own

[Verse 2]
I may as well be naked
For I've nothing to hide
I can feel tears in my eyes
Are they really justified
By all that I'm leaving behind

[Verse 3]
I’m starting a new life
In a world far away
From the people who brought me up
And I desobey

[Verse 4]
I don't have all the answers
But I'm trying to learn
And If I'm to justify
The questions asked in return
I'll need all the help I can find

[Chorus]
Why am I dancing
When I'm here alone
I can feel the tears in my eyes
My comfort zone
Why am I dancing
When I'm so alone
Maybe I can celebrate
On my own

[Outro]
Why am I dancing
Why am I dancing
Why am I dancing
Why am I dancing

[Verse 1]
I remember wondering...
Who am I
And what will I turn out to be
I know where I have to go
To unlock the secret of me
Won’t be long
'Til I have to get out of here
And live my invented life
Well already that’s pretty queer

[Chorus]
A new London boy
Like so many others
Hanging around
With my glam rock brothers
A new London boy
With the screamers who dress for excess
Seeking attention and freedom
And the right people you can impress
Are they girls or boys
Is everyone gay
Am I just kidding myself
I'll go all the way

[Verse 2]
I remember wondering
New London boys can’t afford to be scared
You take it on the chin and win in your head
Skinheads will mock you, call you a fag
Last laugh is yours, there’s a brick in your bag
Follow the style, plastic and showy
Everyone’s dancing to Roxy and Bowie
People want Deco and Hollywood stars
The glamorous life, vintage cars
Like boy racers, speed is the essence
Get yourself noticed, assert your presence
Remember
Don’t be afraid if it feels bizarre
This is your time, you are the star
Everyone’s watching, grab your chance
All it takes is a stolen glance
New London boy
New London
Boy

[Verse 3]
I’ll aim for the stars
And learn how to swim with the sharks
Play an electric guitar
While studying Plato and Marx

[Chorus]
A new London boy
Like so many others
Hanging around
With my glam rock brothers
A new London boy
Is everyone gay
Am I just kidding myself
I’ll go all the way
I remember wondering...

[Intro]
Amalfi
Blue skies, blue sea
It's a long way from Siberia
How did you get here

[Verse 1]
Jumped the barrier at Orly Airport
Claimed political asylum there
Took all the KGB boys by surprise
I think they thought that you would never dare
But you knew you had to take a risk
You broke the rules over and over again
A fiery talent with a reputation
A troublemaker among sombre men

[Chorus]
(Dancing star)
That's what you are
(Came so far)
You're a dancing star
(Dancing star)
More power than a tsar
(Yes, you are)
You're a dancing star

[Verse 2]
When the streets of London sang with pop stars
Well, the truth is that they always do
In the '60s you could feel the freedom
And the brightest star in town was you
Always a scandal and a real heartbreaker
Boys and girls both threw themselves at you

[Chorus]
(Dancing star)
That's how bright you shine
(Dancing star)
When all your stars align
(Dancing star)
More power than a tsar
(Yes, you are)
You're a dancing star

[Post-Chorus]
(Dancing star)
(Dancing star)
(Dancing star)
(Yes, you are)
You're a dancing star

[Bridge]
Paris, New York, Copenhagen
Vienna, San Francisco, Saint Petersburg
The world wanted you
How bright you shone
And still shine now
Although you've gone

[Chorus]
(Dancing star)
That's what you are
(Came so far)
You're a dancing star
(Dancing star)
More power than a tsar
(Yes, you are)
You're a dancing star

[Verse 1]
Like silent movie stars
In '60s Hollywood
No one knows who you are
In the hipster neighbourhood
Your only friend
Is a memory of a dream
Walking down the Strip
Looking for the latest scene

[Chorus]
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons
Who dances now to their sweet old song
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new Bohemia

[Verse 2]
Hot on the heels
Of the absolute last chance
I watched them trying out
Something new from France
Kamikaze eyes
Locked in a trance
Improvising
A wild hypnotic dance

[Chorus]
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons
Who dances now to their sweet old song
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new Bohemia

[Verse 3]
Every day is a warning
Evening might forget
Then the following morning has
The sweet smell of regret
I'm always in love
I'm easily led
My life is a mess
Like an unmade bed

[Chorus]
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons
Who dances now to their sweet old song
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new Bohemia

[Outro]
Where are they now
Where have they gone
Who dances now to their song
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I'm on my way to a new bohemia

[Verse 1]
If you think you're going down
In hazel, black and brown
You need some happy music
When winter comes around

[Verse 2]
Glühwein, Wurst and Sauerkraut
Sun and Sangria
We're speeding on a speedboat
We're heading off to Shangri-La

[Chorus]
The future is the present now
Music must be played
It's always Christmas or the sound of summer
In the Schlager hit parade

[Verse 3]
Sexy, sexy, sexy
Healthy, happy girls and boys
Weddings are a bit like Christmas
Everyone rejoice

[Chorus]
The future is the present now
Music must be played
It's always Christmas or the sound of summer
In the Schlager hit parade

[Verse 4]
Never trust your memories
Say a sentimental farewell
The leader of the Schlager band
He knows but he won't tell

[Verse 5]
The future is forever
Let's not dwell on the past
Gesundheit to Europa
Let's hope it's gonna last

[Chorus]
Laughter and forgetting
Whatever was betrayed
What happened never happened
In the Schlager hit parade

[Chorus]
The future is the present now
Music must be played
It's always Christmas or the sound of summer
In the Schlager hit parade

[Chorus]
The future is the present now
Music must be played
It's always Christmas or the sound of summer
In the Schlager hit parade

[Intro]
Butterflies

[Verse 1]
Hungry, angry
Hot and tired
I walk into your life
The haze of summer
Makes a halo
Around your face with light

[Pre-Chorus]
And on a wall you've hung Babe Rainbow
Framed from the Sunday Times
Enigmatic as the Mona Lisa
I read between your lines

[Chorus]
That's when I find
That you possess
All that I need
The secret of happiness
You stare
And I'm impressed
As you reveal
The secret of happiness

[Post-Chorus]
And maybe more
As an encore

[Verse 2]
Bright as sunshine
Bold as headlines
By chance or design
Fluttering
The latest thing
Your pearls before the swine

[Pre-Chorus]
Northern skies and butterflies
It's still light at ten
Moon is rising
Trees are sighing
Poetry again

[Chorus]
That's when I find
That you possess
All that I want
The secret of happiness
You share
I never guessed
All that I need
The secret of happiness

[Post-Chorus]
And maybe more
As an encore

[Bridge]
The secret of happiness
Was always concealed from me
But now that it's been expressed
Your secret's revealed to me

[Interlude]
Butterflies

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
That's when I find
That you possess
All that I need
The secret of happiness
You share
And I'm impressed
All that I need
The secret of happiness

[Outro]
And maybe more
As an encore

[Intro Chorus]
I've got eyes in the back of my head
For anything suspicious
And if my number's up
I'll take a bullet for Narcissus

[Verse 1]
This Narcissus, his power is his dream
His politics are simply mean
He doesn't trust what he hasn't seen
He's so banal, he's made it mainstream

[Verse 2]
I see the tension in his eyes
The accusations he denies
I wonder if he's realised
That right behind him he's despised

[Verse 3]
I'm strapped up, strapped in, wear the vest
All the kit of an agent's chest
Even though it's bullet proof
One could get through and that’s the truth

[Chorus]
So I've got eyes in the back of my head
For anything suspicious
And if my number's up
I'll take a bullet for Narcissus

[Verse 4]
As I survey the big event
People think he's heaven-sent
Devoted crowds who chant his name
I sometimes think he lives for fame

[Bridge]
Oh Narcissus
It's so delicious
To watch his makeup run
He sweats and panicky
Fakes reality
He only cares for number one

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I've got eyes in the back of my head
For anything suspicious
And if my number's up
I'll take a bullet for Narcissus
And if my number's up
I'll take a bullet for Narcissus

[Verse 1]
It comes and goes
Ebbs and flows
Love's a profession
Plied beneath the moon
It waits and watches
Weaves and dodges
Catch it like a cold
No one is immune

[Pre-Chorus]
And every night there's a busy trade
Love is the law that must be obeyed
And every day the price is paid
Love is the law
And a trick of the trade

[Refrain]
Love is the law, love is the law

[Verse 2]
From wiser lips
I've heard it said
"Love is a profession
As old as time
Watch it and learn it
Study it and earn it
You've a head for business
And a heart for crime"

[Pre-Chorus]
And every night there's a busy trade
Love is the law that must be obeyed
And every day the price is paid
Love is the law
And a trick of the trade

[Chorus]
Love is the law
But you can't regulate it
The desire is so strong
And you won't moderate it
That one's a gambler
This one's a thief
Both make it easy
And that's a relief

[Verse 3]
Such happy days spent in idleness
Now the sea is warm and the wine is young
The evening brings the action
And the main attraction
Love is a mood
And a slip of the tongue

[Pre-Chorus]
While every night there's a busy trade
Love is the law that must be obeyed
And every day the price is paid
Love is the law
And a trick of the trade

[Chorus]
Love is the law
But you can't regulate it
The desire is so strong
And you won't moderate it
That one's a gambler
This one's a thief
Both make it easy
And that's a relief

[Outro]
Love is the law, love is the law
Love is the law, love is the law
Love is the law, love is the law
Love is the law, love is the law

[Verse 1]
Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he’d kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed jive, don’t want to stay alive
When you’re 25
And Wendy’s stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
Freddy’s got spots from ripping off the stars
From his face
Funky little boat race
Television man is crazy
Saying we’re juvenile delinquent wrecks
Oh, man, I need TV when I got T. Rex
Brother, you guessed, I’m a dude, dad

[Chorus]
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I wanna hear you)
Carry the news (I wanna see you)
Boogaloo dudes (And I wanna relate to you)
Carry the news

[Verse 2]
Now Lucy looks sweet ’cause he dresses like a queen
But she can kick like a mule, it’s a real mean team
But we can love
Oh yeah, we can love
And my brother’s back at home with his Beatles and his Stones
Never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag
Too many snags
Now I’ve drunk a lot of wine, and I’m feeling fine
Gonna race some cat to bed
Is there concrete all around or is it in my head
Brother you guessed
I’m a dude, dad

[Chorus]
All the young dudes (I wanna hear you)
Carry the news (I wanna see you)
Boogaloo dudes (And I wanna relate to you)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (Have you heard the latest news )
Carry the news (Everybody’s got the right to choose)
Boogaloo dudes (You can be a dude, dad)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I’ve seen you on the street)
Carry the news (Sort of guy I’d like to meet)
Boogaloo dudes (You’re a dude, dad)
Carry the news

[Outro]
Hey, you!
You with the glasses!
I want you
I’m a dude, dad

[Verse 1]
Like silent movie stars in '60s Hollywood
No one knows who you are in the hipster neighbourhood
Your only friend is a memory of a dream
Walking down the Strip looking for the latest scene

[Chorus]
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons
Who dances now to their sweet old song
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new Bohemia

[Verse 2]
Hot on the heels of the absolute last chance
I watched them trying out something new from France
Kamikaze eyes locked in a trance
Improvising a wild hypnotic dance

[Chorus]
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons
Who dances now to their sweet old song
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new Bohemia

[Verse 3]
Every day is a warning evening might forget
Then the following morning has the sweet smell of regret
I'm always in love I'm easily led
My life is a mess like an unmade bed

[Verse 4]
Making it look so easy is always a big mistake
Nobody gives you credit for all the risks you take
And has the melody kept you up at night
Doing it over and over until you got it right

[Chorus]
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons
Who dances now to their sweet old song
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new Bohemia

[Outro]
Where are they now
Where have they gone
Who dances now to their song
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I'm on my way to a new bohemia
