Blondie The Platinum Collection Lyrics
1.X Offender

Lyrics:Harry/Valentine
Music:Harry/Valentine

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled
I laid my heart on the line
You read me my rights and then you said; 'Let's go' and nothing
more
I thought of my nights and how they were
They were filled with
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then, you'd step in
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked you just had to laugh
Walking the line you were a marksman
Told me that law like wine is ageless
Public defender
You had, to admit you wanted, the love of a sex offender
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
My vision in blue I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial you were there with, your badge and rubber
boots
I think all the time how I'm going to perpatrate love with you
And when I get out there's no doubt
I'll be sex offensive to you


2.In The Flesh

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Darling, darling, darling, I can't wait to see you
Your picture ain't enough
I can't wait to touch you, in the flesh
Darling, darling, darling, I can't wait to hear you
Remembering your love, is nothing without you in the flesh
Went walking one day on the lower east side
Met you with a girlfriend
You were so divine
She said; 'Hands off this one sweetie, this boy is mine'
I couldn't resist you
I'm not deaf dumb and blind
Darling, darling, darling, now you're out of town
Those girls that you run with, they bring my head down
Darling, darling, darling, watch out if I see you
'Cause if you say hello It'll mean you wanna see me in the flesh
Ooh warm and soft in the flesh
Ooh close and hot in the flesh


3.Man Overboard

Lyrics:Harry
Music:Harry

Man overboard, sinking in a sea of love
Man overboard, he jumped didn't need a shove
Oh I've been sailing the sea of love experiencing romance
With what I know he never stood a chance
He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love
Said lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love
Lower the boats, he's sinking in a sea of love
Yeah I've been sailing the sea of love experiencing romance
With what I know he never stood a chance, no!
Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Throw him a line
Man overboard
He gave it all for love
He gave it all for love
He gave it
He gave it all for love
Man overboard

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Hey psst psst here she comes now
Oh you know her
Would ya look at that hair
Yeah you know her
Check out those shoes
She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody's blues
She looks like the Sunday comics
She thinks she's Brenda Starr
Her nose job is real atomic
All she needs is an old knife scar
Ehhh, she's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull come on rip her to shreds
Oh you know her 'Miss Groupie Supreme'
Yeah you know her 'Vera Vogue' on parade
Red eye shadow
Green mascara
Yuck

She looks like she don't know better
A case of partial extreme
Dressed in a Robert Hall sweater
Acting like a soap opera queen
Ehhh, she's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She got the nerve to tell me she's not 'on it'
But her expression is too serene
Yeah she looks like she washes with Comet
Always looking to create a scene
Ehhh, she's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull come on rip her to shreds
She's so dull
Rip her to shreds
Oh you know her 'Miss Groupie Supreme'
Yeah you know her 'Vera Vogue' on parade
Yeah you know her with the fish eating grin
She's so dull
Yeah she got the nerve to tell me
Huh she's so dull
Yeah there she goes now
She making out with King Kong
She take her boat to Hong Kong
Well bye bye sugar
And not a minute too soon

6.Contact In Red Square

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

Although I'm young, I got a job to do
Hid the microfilm in the lining of my shoe
Call it a business trip
Got to hide inside my trenchcoat and be clever
I got my papers and a cyanide pill
My polaroid's a taser in disguise
There's a base in the hills
And the wheat fields looks like Kansas in November
Astrovia sweet comrade your nation is your gun
Your love reads like the perfumed note you sent me
One last contact in red square
Unless I have to run and the long arms of the KGB detect me
Can't trust a soul secret messenger
Just the rules that lie like circuits in your brain
And a cool 45, the wind is ice and foreign air tastes strange
Bang! Bang! You're dead!
No one left to worry
Kiss me quick now I have to hurry
Our last contact in red square
Unless I have to run
And the long arms of the CIA detect me
Hey!

Lyrics:Harry/Valentine/Destri
Music:Harry/Valentine/Destri

Fistful of money, mouth full of gold

Then asked a native 'Some assistance please'
She took him to the secret door, he was kissing the floor
Don't know much more

Heng lu Cindy Sue
Difo difong hacking hu
In a flash of recollection of oriental pride
She threw him to the side

What happened next caused quite a shock
She was standing looking out the door
He was kicked to the floor

She was a kung fu girl kung fu girl
Uh eow

8.I'm On E

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

I'm on E
I'm on E
I'm on E
Got nuts' to say
I used to have a car of my own
I'm on E
I'm on E
I'm on E for easy
Laid out for maybe a week
I've walked my feet to the bone
I'd give my life for a car of my own
I'm on E
I'm on E
Two weeks ago saturday I was on TV
I'd like a show of my own
But you see I'm still on E
Even though everything is happening to me
So when your drivin' on home, don't regret your loan
I'm on E
I'm on E
I gave my car to a guy named Vinnie
I feel like gassin' my feet
They've totalled your bill and you skipped a beat
I used to have a car of my own
28 or 58
Walking to refrigerator
To the pump do the bump
Still on E I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E
I'll never have to stop my feet
28 or 58
Walking to refrigerator
To the pump do the bump
Still on E I'll think of something
I'm on E and I'm on E
I'll never have to fill my feet up


9.I'm Always Touched By Your Presence Dear

Lyrics:Valentine
Music:Valentine

Was it destiny?
I don't know yet
Was it just by chance?
Could this be kismet?
Something in my consciousness told me you'd appear
Now I'm always touched by your presence dear
When we play at cards you use an extra sense
It's really not cheating, you know?
You can read my hand I've got no defense
When you send your messages, whispered loud and clear
I'm always touched by your presence dear
Floating pass the evidence of possibilities
We could navigate together psychic frequencies
Coming into contact with outer entities
We could entertain each one with our theosophies
Stay awake at night and count your REM's
When you're talking with your super friends
Levitating lovers in the secret stratosphere
I am still in touch with your presence dear
I am still in touch with your presence dear


10.Poets Problem

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

Poets problem, patron saint
Puts me in the place I in
Passions letter
Poison Pen
On these two things I can depend
Who will write your number on the wall?
I will not be there, when you call
I think I l do a line and then again
Dirty dealers, school of thought
And armchair for the strength of thought
The TV sets been on all night
You were wrong and I was right
You will write your number on the wall
I will not be there when you call
I think I l do a line and then again
Who will write your number on the wall?
I will not be there, when you call
You will write your number on the wall
I will not be there when you call
I think I l do a line and then again


11.Detroit 442

Lyrics:Stein/Destri
Music:Stein/Destri

You know he can't be tested
He can't be read or found
Urban gray takes breath away
He wants to push his pedal to the ground
And the night's what's right
Puts him at the wheel
Well I eat danger
Any stranger is all right
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O
Dodging flying objects at the show
And the lights make me fight
In Detroit 442
Maybe baby I can ride with you
This town's a concrete factory and dad and mom look just like me
I'm on the plant assembly line
Too late now
Too far behind!
You said you wanna hang around
No one really cares where you go
Take your time
Things never change
In Detroit 442 maybe baby I could ride with you
One more to market one more pig in
And they all come to find me yeah


12.Picture This

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing a vision of you
All I want is a room with a view, oooooh
I will give you my finest hour, the one I spent watching you
shower
I will give you my finest hour oh yeah
All I want is a photo in my wallet
A small remembrance of something more solid
All I want is a picture of you
Picture this a day in December
Picture this freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only, oohh, oh
Picture this a sky full of thunder
Picture this my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you oh yeah
All I want is 20/20 vision
A total portrait with no omissions
All I want is a vision of you, ooooh
If you can
Picture this a day in December
Picture this freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only
Picture this a sky full of thunder
Picture this my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you
Get a pocket computer try to do what ya used to do yeah


13.Fade Away And Radiate

Lyrics:Stein
Music:Stein

Ooh baby I hear you spend night time:
Wrapped like candy in a blue blue neon glow
Fade away and radiate
Ooh baby watchful lines vibrate soft in brainwave time
Silver pictures move so slow
Golden tubes faintly glow
Electric faces seem to merge
Hidden voices mock your words
Fade away and radiate
The beams become my dream
My dream is on the screen
Fade away and radiate
Fade away and radiate
Dusty frames that still arrive die in 1955
Fade away and radiate


14.I'm Gonna Love You Too

Lyrics:Mauldin/Sullivan/Petty
Music:Mauldin/Sullivan/Petty

You're gonna say you miss me
You're gonna say you'll kiss me
You're gonna say you love me 'cause I'm gonna love you too
I don't care what you told me
You're gonna say you'll hold me
You're gonna say you love me 'cause I'm gonna love you too
After all I'm not very particular
But I still can't overlook ya
I'm gonna do my best to hook ya after all is said and done
I don't care what you told me
You're gonna say you'll hold me and you're gonna say you love me
'Cause I'm gonna love you too
You're gonna tell me sweet things
You're gonna make my heart sing and I'm gonna hear bells ring
'Cause I'm gonna love you too
You're gonna say you miss me and you're gonna say you'll kiss me
And you're gonna say you love me 'cause I'm gonna love you too
I'm gonna love you too
I'm gonna love you too
I'm gonna love you too

Lyrics:Harry
Music:Harry

Oh don't ya know?
Don't wanna see ya any more
Put up or shut up
Ya spell ya read DOOR
Ya got a big mouth and I'm happy to see
Your foot is firmly entrenched where a molar should be
If you talk much louder you could get an award
From the federal communications board
Don't be cruel
Be a thing sweet thing as a rule
Don't be sad
I left you in the street
You're pre-fab

Don't go away mad just go away
Oh don't ya know?
Don't wanna see ya here no more

A mad hatter's beret
Sometimes you look like you just made an escape
Don't be mad or lose your medicaid cool
Of course cool rhymes with fool
Don't go be bad 'cause you been had
Don't go away sad
Don't go away mad
Just go away!
Oh don't ya know?

Ya spell ya read OUT out
Don't go be bad 'cause you been had

Just go away!
Go away!
Go away and stay away!


16.Hanging On The Telephone

Lyrics:Jack Lee
Music:Jack Lee

I'm in the phone booth it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store?
All those things she said I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again?
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
It's good to hear your voice you know it's been so long
If I don't get your calls then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself!
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Oh hang there unrelieved!


17.Will Anything Happen?

Lyrics:Jack Lee
Music:Jack Lee

I always said you could make it
I know what I said and I meant it
I always liked the way you played guitar
I always knew that someday you'd go far
And if you do will anything happen?
Will it come true will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
You said you'd be through here again
Please don't forget I'm here waiting
You always said that you would never change
Like the people that you've met and the places that you've been
And if you do will anything happen?
Will it come true will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
I always said you could make it
Just don't forget that I said it
Cause I always liked the way you played guitar
And I always knew that someday you'd go far
And if you do will anything happen?
will it come true will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
And if I do will anything happen?


18.Heart Of Glass

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart
of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine Love is
so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart
of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising yeah
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine Love is
so confusing, there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La La
(repeat)


19.Rifle Range

Lyrics:Stein/Toast
Music:Stein/Toast

I was all alone with the scent of a bone
And my heart was stuck in this emptiness zone
I had not a care though I wanted to hear
The voice of a maiden, who was playing down there
At the rifle range, I lost my heart
At the rifle range, I could not start
At the rifle range, she left me so hot
At the rifle range
Like a victim of truce I was strung on a noose
Cracking at the news of a prey let loose
I turned around to stare, at the face she would wear
And I ran through the gallows her heart was down there
At the rifle range, I lost my heart
At the rifle range I could not start
At the rifle range, I heard a shot
At the rifle range
If I lose my head we'll be certainly dead
With visions of acid how I wish they bled
The drummings of fear, cause they're getting so near
And I think of a lion who was devoured down there
Yeah yeah yeah At the rifle range, I lost my heart
At the rifle range, I could not start
At the rifle range, I heard a shot
At the rifle range, she left me so hot
At the rifle range, Bang bang
At the rifle range Bang bang
At the rifle range Bang bang


20.11:59

Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax
Sidewalk social scientist
Don't get no satisfaction from your cigarette
It's ten to ten
Time is running out
Lock up all your memories
Get outa here you know that we can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive
Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night
Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean
Wait until the morning take tomorrow by the hand
Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean
We can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive
Hanging on a frequency burning like a fire
Boy you've got the motion down
It's getting late I'm tired and I've lost control
Don't leave me here
Time is running out
Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean
We can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59 and I want to stay alive


21.Sunday Girl

Lyrics:Stein
Music:Stein

I know a girl from a lonely street cold as ice cream but still
as sweet
Dry your eyes sunday girl
Hey I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide sunday girl
Hurry up hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues
Please come see what your lovin means to me
She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams sunday girl
'Baby I would like to go out tonight'
'If I go with you my folks'll get uptight'
Stay at home sunday girl
Hey I say your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday Girl
When I saw you again in the summertime
If your love was as sweet as mine I could be sunday's girl
Hurry up hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues
Please come see what your lovin means to me
Hurry up hurry up and wait
I've got the blues
Please, please, please come see
What you do to me
I got the blues


22.I Know But I Don't Know

Lyrics:Infante
Music:Infante

'Hey y'know?'
'Uh I dunno'
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I give but I don't get
I will but I won't yet
I lose but I don't bet
I'm your dog but not your pet
Now I know but I don't care
Then I know but I don't see
Now I see but I don't know
I care but I don't care
I could but I won't be
You can but not with me
It's all a mystery
Locked out without a key
Now I care but I don't care
And I know but I don't see
Now I see but I don't know
I know but I don't know
Now I know that you don't know
And I see that you don't see
I care but I don't care
I don't care that you don't know

One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna trick ya, trick ya, trick ya, trick ya
One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya
I'm gonna give you the slip
I'll walk down the mall, stand over by the wall
Where I can see it all, find out who ya call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout, some specials and rat food
Get lost in the crowd
One way or another I'm gonna get ya
I'll get ya
I'll get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
Where I can see it all, find out who ya call


24.Dreaming

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

When I met you in the restaurant you could tell I was no
debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure; 'A movie or a measure'?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Real to real is living rarity
People stop and stare at me we just walk on by
We just keep on dreaming
Feet, feet, walking a two mile
Mee,t meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him I'll never forget him
Dream, dream, even for a little while
Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away radiate
I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own; something you can have and
hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free


25.Sound-A-Sleep

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Close your eyes and you will see micro flashing neon lights
Open your eyes and you will see it still looks like the same
thing
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast
for sleep
Close your eyes and you will see the sound-a-sleep
I want to go I want to go I want to go down to go to sleep
Your frame of reference is my swimming pool
My my swimming pool still looks like the China Sea
Pool to sea and finally the sound-a-sleep
Feel the muscles in your face twitch relax
Remembering everything that went down and will go down
I want to go down to sleep
Insomnia no sleep disease petties parking feed me please
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast
for sleep


26.Living In The Real World

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

Every day you've go to wake up and disappear behind your makeup
Take away your calendar watch and you can't keep track until
your heart attack
Hey I'm living in a magazine page to page in my submarine!
Hey now Cindy you can't get to me need an elevator
Hey I'll see you later 'cause I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more no more
Yeah
I can be whatever I want to
I talk to me I even agree
Every day's a holiday
You can look through the glass and take a photograph
You will never ever walk on the moon leave your body and float
through the room
You could never conquer me 'cause I'm not here and you're not
there
And and I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more no more
Yeah
Didn't I ever tell you I was gone?
Didn't I ever tell you I was gone?
Bye bye!
I can do anything at all
I'm invisible and I'm twenty feet tall
Pull the plug on your digital clock and it all goes dark and the
bodies stop
Hey I'm living in a magazine page to page in my teenage dream
Hey now Mary you can't follow me without a satellite
I'm on a power flight 'cause I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more no more
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world no more no more no more
No more no more no more
No more no more no more

Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
Inside the armored car, ride two big armed guards
In a bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna
pass
Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Nitro and acetylene open la machine
No short heist no overnight big money
Take ya to Brazil
Bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna pass
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down ,hurry up, come on
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
In a wire mesh cage with a twelve gauge
Radio - we're coming fast
Ooh need to feel some hardened steel
Deliver the big money deal
Of the armored guard here's what I heard
I'll tell you that he will no matter what you feel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Twenty five tons of hardened steel deliver the big money deal

30.Die Young Stay Pretty

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Die young stay pretty
Deteriorate in your own time
Tell 'em you're dead and wither away
Are ya living alone or with your family?
a dried up twig on your family tree?
Are ya 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 ya sit all alone in your rocking chair
Transistor pressed against an ear
Were ya 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
Was it good or maybe you won't tell?


31.Slow Motion

Lyrics:Davis/Destri
Music:Davis/Destri

What's all that commotion going on?
The boy in the back on his second attack wants his baby back
Wants his baby back
What's all that commotion that you hear?
The girl in the back who was doing the quake got a belly ache
She can't concentrate
Pick up the beat you can move like you're made out of vapor
'Catch me if you can', is what she said with her hands
Come on and take me back
Can you take her back?
When she gives you the beat and you get the shine
The world slows down and she stops on a dime
Got a number when you close your eyes like a real magician
Still she knows she'll never lose a thing
She can put you up on a shelf until she wants to pull the string
Still you know she'll never slip away
Keep time in your head counting in your head
Slow motion
I can play with time
I can keep today but tomorrow's fine
Stop and look at the pictures rolling in your head
Slow motion
You can play with time
You can leave her today but tomorrow's fine
Stop and live in your dreams at night rolling in your bed
Slow motion you can stop on a dime
Slow motion you ought to try it sometime
Take me back on another track
Take me back take me back
Slow motion you can pick up the beat
Slow motion you can stop on the street
Take me back on another track
Take me back take me back

33.The Tide Is High

Lyrics:Reid/Holt
Music:Reid/Holt

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
It's not the things you do, that tease and hurt me bad
But it's the way you do the things, you do to me
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one, number one
Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'till it's my turn
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that oh no
The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm gonna be your number one, your, number one


34.Susie And Jeffrey

Lyrics:Harry/Harrison
Music:Harry/Harrison

Even thought Jeff was worried
They were not in a hurry
They planned a lovely honeymoon
Sue had a band new chevy
Conservative in good taste
Only thirty payments due
They had outstanding tickets
They had no car insurance
But they had lots of things to do
They were getting organised
They had their plans all finalised
The date was set for Saturday
Susie and Jeffrey, there gonna get married
There going for a blood test
What if I don past my blood test?
What about our marriage license?
What if I can be deprogrammed
Don act like it your last chance
We could have fun at the Sparn Ranch
It not like Gordon avenue
Susie and Jeffrey, there gonna get married
There going for a blood test
Jeffrey said, 'Less weight'
Sue took here foot off the break
He drove into a wall
Don get excited now don shout
I l scratch your eyes out
Now we can have our honeymoon
Don touch, she my fiance
Say, but I like the way you play
An autograph from Orsen Wells
I the fan, heres my recorded
It one that can get programmed
We want to give to all of you
They had a little argument
Sue took her foot up off the break
He drove the car into a wall


35.Rapture

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Toe to toe dancing very close
Body breathing almost comatose
Wall to wall people hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture
Back to back sacroiliac
Spineless movement and a wild attack
Face to face sightless solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinning I said 'My, My'
Flash is fast flash is cool
Francois c'est pas flashe non due
And you don't stop sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes the man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night eating cars
You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face
Dance cheek to cheek
One to one
Man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from Mars is through with
cars
He's eating bars
Yeah wall to wall
Door to door
Hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture
Be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint a train
You'll be singing in the rain
Said don't stop to the punk rock
Man to man, body muscular
Seismic movement, bite the jugular
One to one, tea-time technology and a digital ardour
No sign of Saviour in Rapture
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space where he won't have a hassle
with the human race
And you hip hop
And you don't stop
Just blast off sure shot
Because the man from Mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars
Get up!


36.Walk Like Me

Lyrics:Destri
Music:Destri

We don't wear that uniform
paper men from pages torn right off the press it could be Tass
Suits for the regime
The media's gone and had a baby
Seventh wave another navy
I live in America: gridlock on the street
Tell that girl you like her badge
Tell that man you're the Nazz
Tell them you're not the last walking in parade
Dressed to test you up the road
Tighter than the latest clothes
Close the circle walk in row walking in parade
Why don't you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Carrying the standard stick and marrying the politik
You won't know tomorrow what went down today
Look at me I'm in tune references around my room
Just another secret school another cycle going by
You never looked like that
Don't look like me
Don't take it back
You never had a name like that never had a color
Walking like a millionaire
walking on imported air
Change the way you comb your hair and watch what you walk under
Why don't you walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?
Walk like me?


37.Island Of Lost Souls

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

In Babylon on the boulevard of broken dreams my will power at
the lowest ebb
Oh what can I do?
Oh buccaneer!
Can ya help me put my truck in gear?
Can ya take me far away from here save my soul from sin?
'You wanna get away?

Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me!
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run run away from me?
'The sky is blue the sea is warm and clear and golden sands
Are calling out to you Inviting Make a new man outta you
You can come for a while come with a friend forget about work
start all over again
Let the real you through Here's what we do
Where did he go?
I'm tired of waiting here for him
Where can he be?
He's not with me!
Where did he go?
What will I do alone?
Why did he run run away from me?
Oh-oh oh-oh!
Oh buccaneer!
Can ya help me put my truck in gear?

38.Dragongly

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

'Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen of Earth and all native
intelligences, of the forty planets satellites moons stars and
any other inhabited orbs. With contestants entered in the annual
Grande Trex the only inter-universal race. This year's event
promises excitement to surpass all previous races. As many of
you fans know already the route or track of the race orbits and
glides, has been increased by 5000 million kilometers thus
enabling Grande Trex to include the B'Arc 15 system.'
Dragonfly dragonfly satellite strike and fight
Laser light, shot tonight
Target nullified gyro subdivide
Lattitude, longitude, satellite, solid substitute
Dragonfly, arc revise
What's a drag race?
Can't you see those dragons speeding up the street?
But I learned they weren't real
Figments of the ancient's fear
Rapid scan radians for the chance to win the grande
Maneuvers preprogram windage won't operate
Negative bearing swelL
Dragons fly they symbolize, in myth and saga breathing fire
Look up there's one flying higher!
Faster than the SSC
Is science hiding witchery?

'Grande Trex fans throughout the universe are well informed on
the risks the pilots take in entering this race. Re-entry into
some of the alien atmospheres is tricky business. Which can
cause a craft to implode explode melt lose atomic structure and
so forth, adding to the interstellar degree that on its own is a
terrific danger to the ships while en route. The surface craft
scheduled to launch at 070051 Greenwich mean time, Have
assembled on one of our very own stars (Neutron Einstar EV 9)
for this year's event. And the excitement is at a fevering pitch
as the countdown approaches zero!'

Dragonfly rations glide in free fall slide systems nullify
Satellite dragonfly surface launch radio silence
Hover high level off
The time space tactics saved us then
Display report Present urgent
Sequence counting surface launch
Dragonfly destroying all
Science claiming newest findings
Chanting calling flying dragons
Aboard all systems optimum
Nova scheduled war continued
Half the continental shelf burned by interval

'We have retained as an added feature of daring thrills and
excitement of this race a feature, which I'm sure you're going
to like. The computer override lasting three and a half hours or
two gens when pilots and co-pilots manually control free-fall,
latitude, logitude, protract gravity, revise dimensional
equations, run program checks, submerge in the wild oceans of
Jonrin 22 and photograph as much territory and terrain as they
can. In addition to the requisite three thousand automatic
shots. The postulate for mischance runs high but not as high as
the tension and competitive spirit right here (on Earth) and all
over the (4) galaxies (represented in this Seventh Grande Trex).
Dragonfly dragonfly beacons aim space game. The countdown is 200
and I am turning you over to the control room at command

39.Warchild

Lyrics:Harry/Harrison
Music:Harry/Harrison

I need city lights defense and weaponry
No way of knowing my life expectancy
I learn resistance like I learn to see
A living witness
A lonely refugee
I'm a war child
I'm a war baby and that's the difference between you and me
I'm a war child
My occupation is being occupied
I stop at the corner to be identified
Across the border they pretend victory
I'm playing in the rubble and dream of destiny
You weren't discovered by Khmer Rouge
We hear of 'the troubles' on the nightly news
PLO lovers courting after the curfew
Your father and brother have the West Bank blues


40.Little Caesar

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

My name is Little Caesar
My friends call me LC
My Daddy's named the same and passed it on to me
I'm the kinda guy who by and by who wants to be your friend
I'll make you a happy ending
I loop the loo
I do it good
I've been called alot of names some of them obscene
But you think I'm funny and wonder about me?
I don't worry anymore get uptight or fear
Back in the days of funny funny they called me queer
They used to call me
They called me rudely
I'm a love 'em and leave 'em kinda fella a goodtime gentleman
Perform my magic for ya then I'll make my plan
When I'm gone you'll feel so low obsession out-a-hand
You'll find I'll linger in your mind
You can't forgive me
You won't forget me
You can't live without me
Can't live without me
You'll find there's not enough and that you love too much
Can't live without me
You can't live with me
Can't live without me
Just call me Caesar
You can't forgive me
You won't forget me
I'm Little Caesar yeah


41.Out In The Streets

Lyrics:Greenwich/Barry
Music:Greenwich/Barry

He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't do the wild things that he did before
Ooh he used to act bad
Used to but he quit it
It makes me so sad because I know that he did it for me
I can see his heart his heart is out in the streets
He don't comb his hair like he did before
He don't wear those dirty old black boots no more
Ooh but he's not the same
There's something about his kisses it tells me he's changed
I know there's something missing inside
Something died
His heart his heart is out in the streets
He grew up on the sidewalk streetlights shining above
He grew up with no one to love
He grew up on the sidewalk he grew up running free
He grew up and then he met me
He don't hang around with the gang no more
Gee he doesn't smile like he did before
Ooh I wish I didn't care
I wish I'd never met him
They're waiting out there so I got to set him free
He's gotta be
His heart is out in the street
He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't hang around


42.Platinum Blonde

Lyrics:Harry
Music:Harry

I wanna be a platinum blonde

Cause if that's all it takes; a double processed blonde.
I wanna be a platinum blonde

It was the right color but not the right style
Gonna get some peroxide at the beauty supply

Just like all the sexy stars
Marilyn and Jeane Jayne Mae and Marlene
Yeah they they really had fun
Now if you need me on Sunday and you look twice and see
That platinum blonde is gonna be me!
In a double processed luminous day-glo shade
When I get this color I'll have it made in the shade
Oh I hope I'm OK!

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Ah you hate me
Yeah you hate me
You think I don't see murder in your eye when you're looking at
me
Eh you love me

So Bon Voyage sweetface keep looking for the hole in one
Take a look at what you've done
Be a man get yourself a trenchcoat
I'm feeling crazy can you get me a gun? Oh

44.Puerto Rico

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

You say you wanna take me down to Puerto Rico
Crowded Puerto Rico
Humid Puerto Rico
You say you wanna take me up to the mountains
The boring mountains
You say you wanna take out to Las Vegas
Viva viva Las Vegas
I heard it
I did it
I got the bill
I lived it
I paid it
Paying still
Compliments and promises can't fool me twice
Spreading lies like that around isn't very nice
You say I'm so fascinating like no one else you know
No one else you know?
Your wife should know
You say you wanna put me on some TV show
The Johnny Carson show?
Come on
Let's go
You say you wanna buy me leather coats and cars
Make me a star
Take a trip to Mars!
I did it
I got it
I got the jewel
I made it
I paid it
And I'm no fool
Compliments and promises can't fool me twice
You're such a low-life schemer
Beat it creep dematerialize
Beat it creep dematerialize


45.Once I Had A Love

Lyrics:Harry/Stein
Music:Harry/Stein

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a thing of the past
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
In between what I find is pleasing and
I'm feeling fine Love is so confusing,
there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a thing of the past
Seemed like the real thing, only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find much o' mistrust
Love's gone behind
