Song Lyrics Go West There where the air is free we'll be what we want to be Now if we make a stand we'll find our promised land Go West Actually (1987) Push me in a corner and I'll scream. One more chance We never ever argue, we never calculateThe currency we've spent(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent Rent Behaviour (1990) All the people I was kissing, Some are here and some are missing, In the nineteen-nineties.... But I thought in spite of dreams You'd be sitting somewhere here with me. Being boring I dreamt I was back in uniformAnd a candidate for examinationHistory - someone had blunder'd -And a voice rapped, 'Knuckle under'Living on the law just short of delusionWhen we fall in love, there's confusionThis must be the place I waited years to leave This must be the place I waited years to leave Please (1986) Sometimes you're better off dead;There's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head.You think you're mad, too unstable,Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables.In a restaurant in a West End town,Call the police, there's a mad man around,Running down underground to a dive bar.In a West End town.<p>In a West End town, a dead end world;The East End boys and West End girls. West End Girls I've got the brains, you've got the looksLet's make lots of money Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money) Break a window by the town hall, listen, the siren screamsThere in the distance like a roll-call of all the suburban dreams...I only wanted something else to do but hang around... Suburbia That Zazou, he don't care Dark glasses, long hair... Sips his drinks, orders more,Says what he thinks, and it's a crazy war. In the night Actually (1987) When I look back upon my lifeIt's always with a sense of shameI've always been the one to blameFor everything I long to doNo matter where or when or whoHas one thing in common too:It's a sin. It's a Sin Everything I've ever done Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going to. It's a Sin Introspective (1988) In the back of my head I heard distant feet; Che Guevara and Debussy To a disco beat. Left to my own devices Discography: The Complete Singles Collection I reserve the right to live My life this way, and I don't give A damn when other people say I'll pay the price that others pay Was it worth it? Very (1993) She's made you some kind of laughing stock Because you dance to disco and you don't like rock She made fun of you and even in bed Said she was going to go and get herself a real man instead Can you forgive her? To free in me the trust I never dared I always thought the risk too great But suddenly, I don't hesitate So take my hand, don't think of complications Now, right now, your love is liberation Liberation I feel like taking all my clothes off and dancing to The Rite of Spring. I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing Alternative (1995) Don't call me pathetic; I'm higher than you'll ever guessAnd relentlessly tough, 'cause when the going gets roughThe tough get their pictures in the press Shameless Bilingual (1996) What I wanted to be was a family man,But Nature had some alternative plans. Metamorphosis ...but here am I;Once a caterpillar, now a butterfly. Metamorphosis The more that you hate, the more that it grates. Up Against It I look from my window down to the square At workers still queueing patiently there For market forces to provide What history so far has denied For a different kind of fate Than to labour long and always wait... To Step Aside Closer to Heaven (2001) Give me hope, give me all your loveTell me now you're coming home tonightHave some faith in the love we shareIs it fate? Does darkness end in light?Never been closer to heaven – never been further away... Closer to heaven Release (2002) My father fought in AfghanistanHis widows pension aint worth a damnMy mother works and goes home to cryI want to live before I die London So my baby's on the road, doing business, selling loads, Charming everyone there with the sweetest smile... Oh tonight I miss you, oh tonight I wish you Would be here with me, but I won't see youTill you've made it back again home and dry... Home and dry You've got a home hereCall it what you wantYou've got a home hereYou're gonna want it when you can'tface the world and you needsome support to succeedYou've got a home Here PopArt (2003) The sunset is deeper and longerThe scent of the jasmine is strongerStray dogs don't bite, birds start to singLightning daren't strike, you suddenly bringBluer skies... Miracles Concrete (2006) Dreaming of the QueenVisiting for teaYou and her and Iand Lady DiThe Queen said, I'm aghastLove never seems to lastHowever hard you tryAnd Di repliedThat there are no more lovers left alive... Dreaming of the Queen Remember when you were more easily led Behind the cricket pavillion and the bicycle shed Trembling as your dreams came true You looked up into those blue eyes and knew It was love, and now you can't pretend You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend... "Can you forgive her?"Consider for a minute who you areWhat you'd like to change, never mind the scarsBury the past, empty the shelfDecide it's time to reinvent yourself DJ Culture Fundamental (2006) Before we ever met I thought like everybody didYou were just a moron, a billion-dollar kidYou flew up all the way like a hawk chasing a doveI never thought that I would be a sacrifice in love I'm with Stupid Bilingual (1996) But for all of those who don't fit in, Who follow their instincts and are told they sin, This is a prayer for a different way. A Red Letter Day Will I get in your way or open your eyes?Who will give whom the bigger surprise?Young offender, how you resentThe lovers you need; it hurts when they bleed...
