I Want You Now

Neil Tennant - Chris Lowe

© Cage Music, BMI

When the sun goes down
I open up my window for hours and I watch
Every passing stranger
Every early shadow I wonder if it's you

Always I'm dreaming, and recklessly scheming
How to get you back in my life
I want you now and I'm prepared to take chances
I've told you how I won't take no for an answer

Every empty evening
The sailors sit downstairs drinking till they fight
Shout and raucous laughter
Sounds of breaking glass shatter through the night

The men from the circus are juggling with knives
The acrobats fall just like you I want you now
And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how
I won't take no for an answer I won't take no for an answer

Now you're miles away
Cross the sea, out of reach unheard
I've cried to you for help
But the wind blows away all my words

You sat there once beside me
Where the actors play you kissed me every night
When you left you promised
You'd soon be back to stay and it would be all right

Now I'm abandoned my letters unanswered
Got to get you back in my life I want you now
And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how
I won't take no for an answer I want you now
And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how
I won't take no for an answer

Losing My Mind

Stephen Sondheim

© Range Road Music, ASCAP

The sun comes up I think about you
The coffee cup I think about you
I want you so it's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends I think about you
I talk to friends and think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left not going right

I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me or were you just being kind
Or am I losing losing my mind

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left not going right

I dim the lights and think about you...

Or am I losing my mind you said you loved me
Or were you just being kind or am I losing my mind
Or were you just being kind or am I losing my mind
Losing my mind losing my mind...

If There Was Love

Neil Tennant - Chris Lowe

© Cage Music, BMI

Men of affairs women with power
Satellites talking to clatter our lives
Banks of predictions policies made
Prophecies broken violence deranged

And if there was love would that be enough
And if there was love would that be enough

Pollsters and planners incredibly sad
Indelibly inking their names across our lives
Individual freedom intrinsically curbed
Inspiration nil slavery ten

And if there was love would that be enough
And if there was love would that be enough
And if there was love would that be enough
And if there was love would that be enough

I've been working for a long time
Scattering smiles must I swallow my pride

There's a hole in the sky as distant and vast
As our moral vacuum and growing as fast

And if there was love would that be enough
And if there was love would that be enough
And if there was love would that be enough
And if there was love would that be enough

They that have power to hurt and will do none
That do not do the thing they most do show
Who moving others are themselves as stone
Unmoved cold and to temptation slow
They rightly do inherit heaven's graces
And husband nature's riches from expense
They are the lords and owners of their faces
Others but stewards of their excellence
The summer's flower is to the summer sweet
Though to itself it only live and die
But if that flower with base infection meet
The basest weed outbraves his dignity
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds

So Sorry I Said

Neil Tennant - Chris Lowe

© Cage Music, BMI

If this is a ghetto I'm in it with you
If it's just a prison I'm locked in it too
I tried to leave you but after all that we had said
I went to pieces when I should have shouted and screamed
Instead so sorry I said

Your powers of persuasion those quizzical eyes
Have tired and tied me with innocent guile
I would have walked out and after all the tears we shed
I should have stalked out gone and painted the town bright red
But instead so sorry I said

How tough it gets don't talk to me about it
To pay off your debts I worked on overtime
And you say you never believed in luck

If you need a reason consider me mad
An old retainer loyal and sad
I bought my freedom but after all that we had shared
I couldn't leave you think of the skins I'd have to shed
Instead so sorry I said so sorry I said so sorry I said

Don't Drop Bombs

Neil Tennant - Chris Lowe

© Cage Music, BMI

You come back home with a secret smile
A knowing look and another lie
To blow my cool and wreck my life

You're too corrupted and totally destructive
When you've erupted you're totally destructive
Don't drop bombs

I'd rather not have to hear about
Your other girls on your expense account
I know you carry on behind my back
With your secretary you'll have a heart attack

You're too corrupted and totally destructive...

Don't drop bombs baby don't drop bombs
Don't drop bombs baby don't drop bombs
Just stay calm baby no more bombs

Life with you is all ups and downs
And when you're up you're off downtown
I've had enough
Don't tell me about your lack of restrictions
Guilty records and previous convictions
Or I shall start playing rough

You're too corrupted and totally destructive
When you've erupted you're totally destructive

Don't drop bombs baby don't drop bombs...

Twist in My Sobriety

Tanita Tikaram

© Cage Music, BMI

It's Liza with a Z not Lisa with a S
Cause Lisa with a S goes SSS not ZZZ huh
It's Liza with a Z not Lisa with a S
Cause Lisa with a S goes SSS not ZZZ huh

All God's children need traveling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
Now your conscience is clear

In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think that I can be so willed
And never do what you say
And never do what you say

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
In my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety

Twist twist

We just poked a little empty pie
For the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
In my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety

Twist twist

Half the people read the papers read them good and well
Pretty people nervous people people have got to sell
News you have to sell

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
In my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
In my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety

It's Liza with a Z not Lisa with a S
Cause Lisa with a S goes SSS not ZZZ huh
Twist oh yeah
It's Liza with a Z not Lisa with a S
Cause Lisa with a S goes SSS not ZZZ huh

Rent

Neil Tennant - Chris Lowe

© Cage Music, BMI

You dress me up I'm your puppet
You buy me things I love it
You bring me food I need it
You give me love I feed it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything it's easy
You buy whatever I need
But look at my hopes look at my dreams
The currency we've spent

I love you you pay my rent
I love you you pay my rent

You phone me in the evening on hearsay
And bought me caviar
You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To tell me who you are
We never-ever argue we never calculate
The currency we've spent

I love you you pay my rent
I love you you pay my rent
I love you you pay my rent

And look at the two of us in sympathy
And sometimes ecstasy
Words mean so little and money less
When you're lying next to me
But look at my hopes look at my dreams
The currency we've spent

I love you you pay my rent
I love you you pay my rent

Look at my hopes look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you you pay my rent
I love you you pay my rent
You pay my rent

Love Pains

Steve Barri - Michael Price - Dan Walsh

Love pains love pains
Love pains love pains

Midnight I watch you as you are sleeping
You don't know I'm leaving
My bags are packed to go
Oh no no no it hurts me
Hurts me so to leave you
Leave you for some one who
I hardly even know

But time has come to say goodbye
To spread my wings and fly
To feed the need I feel inside

But I keep feeling these love pains
Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh will I ever be free from these love pains

Love pains love pains

Can't help can't help but remember
The love we had so tender
A world so safe and sound
Oh no no no
His kiss temptation so inviting
A feeling so exciting
Has turned me upside down

And though I know I could be wrong
This feeling's much too strong
I've got to be where I belong

But I keep feeling these love pains
Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh will I ever be free from these love pains
Tearing me more apart
Cause I don't wanna break your heart
Oh will I ever be free from these love pains

Love pains love pains

Love pains hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh will I ever be free from these love pains
Tearing me more apart
Cause I don't wanna break your heart
Oh will I ever be free from these love pains
Hurting me through and through
Caught between a love or two
Oh will I ever be free from these love pains
Tearing me more apart
Cause I don't wanna break your heart

Tonight Is Forever

Neil Tennant - Chris Lowe

© Cage Music, BMI

I may be wrong I may be right
Money's short time is tight
Don't even think about those bills
Don't pay the price we never will
We're out again another night
We'll never have enough
It could be like this forever
If we fall in love

Tonight is forever
Tell me now you don't disagree
Tonight is forever
Open the door you hold the key

I may be wrong I may be right
So don't depend I could lie
I haven't got a job to pay
But I could stay in bed all day
Then out again another night
I'll never have enough
It will be like this forever
If we fall in love

Tonight is forever
Tell me now you don't disagree
Tonight is forever
Open the door you hold the key
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
Tonight is the first night

We don't need any more when we dance
I won't think of the future tonight

I may be wrong I may be right
But I don't give up any night
You could say conventional
And I would claim intentional
We're out again another night
We never have enough
It will be like this forever
When we fall in love

Tonight is forever
Tell me now you don't disagree
Tonight is forever
Open the door you hold the key

Tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight
Tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight
Tonight tonight tonight tonight
Tonight is forever

I Can't Say Goodnight

Neil Tennant - Chris Lowe

© Cage Music, BMI

I don't know whether I'll love you much longer
I don't know whether whether I can
But feeling like this on a hot summer's night
I'm cold and I'm tired and I've tried to
But I can't say goodnight

And I don't know whether I need you so badly
I don't know if ever if ever I did
But feeling like this on a hot summer's night
The wind in our eyes and I'm crying
'Cause I can't say goodnight

I can't say goodnight I can't say goodnight
And I can't help thinking what we tried to prove
Though we may be sinking at least we saw it all through

And I don't know whether I'll love you much longer
I don't know whether whether I can
But feeling like this on a hot summer's night
I need you beside me believe me
Cause I can't say goodnight

I can't say goodnight I can't say goodnight
Can't say goodnight I can't say goodnight
