What A Life

Divinyls What A Life Lyrics
1.Pleasure And Pain

Lover lover why do you push
Why do you push, why do you push
Baby baby, did you forget about me

I've been standing at the back of your life
Back row centre just above the ice
Please don't ask me how i've been getting off
No please don't ask me how i've been getting off

Break my body, with the back of your hand
Doesn't make sense from where i stand
Baby, baby why you wanna mess it up
Sooner or later i'll find my place
Find my body better fix my face
Please don't ask me
How i've been getting off
No please don't ask me
How i've been getting off

It's a fine line between pleasure and pain
You've done it once you can do it again
Whatever you done don't' try to explain
It's a fine, fine line between pleasure and pain

It's all the same
It's all the same
It's all the same


2.Don't You Go Walking

It must be something i don't do with you
Must be something left for you
Must be something i don't say
Left you crying away

Don't you go walking
Don't go walking out that door
Don't you go walking
Been said thousand times before
Don't you go walking
Don't you go walking out

And we've been thru. been thru this before
Should have seen to. seen to this before
Wish i knew that/wish i knew you'd stay
I'm so nervous/ so nervous today

What can i do what can i say
Left you crying anyway
Do i need to get me someone new
So you say easier said than done now do

Stop that baby x8


3.Good Die Young

City air, toxic taste
A girl falls from innocent grace
Where pleasure has it's price
Looking into your eyes your eyes
Are open are open wide
No ties no surprise in your eyes
Are open wide

Wonder if you got the chance
To let your real feelings show
Dry eyes men and women looking

Into your eyes your eyes
Are open are open wide
No ties no surprise in your eyes
Are open wide

Now i'm happy happy happy happy
Happy just to see you with a friend now and then
Happy happy happy happy
Music changes but the dance steps don't
When the good die young

City air, toxic taste
A girl falls from innocent grace
A girl disappears and leave no trace
Into your eyes your eyes
Are open are open wide
No ties no surprise in your eyes
Are open wide

Now i'm happy happy happy happy
Happy just to see you with a friend now and then
Happy happy happy happy
Music changes but the dance steps don't
When the good die young


4.Sleeping Beauty

Still waiting for my ship to come in
Still looking for the right kinda friend
There are things inside things that can't be denied
What am i waiting for

A sleeping beauty, so helpless
Unlock my fantasy
And while is slept
You came in
And gave to me your key oh your key

Things that we did again and again
Things that i thought would never never end
There are things inside things that can't be denied
What am i waiting for

A sleeping beauty, so helpless
I confess of perfect design
And while is slept
You came in
And took this heart of mine
A sleeping beauty, so helpless
Unlock my fantasy
And while is slept
You came in
And gave to me your key oh your key

I looked around i saw your face
Then i kissed you in a very nice place
What was i looking for
Still waiting, still waiting, still waiting
Waiting waiting for you
Ooh baby
I'm still rootin' for you honey

You showed me how to give
This selfish hear t of mine

Oh a sleeping beauty, so helpless
Unlock my fantasy
And while is slept
You came in
And gave to me your key oh your key
A sleeping beauty, so helpless
Unlock my fantasy
And while is slept
You came in
And gave to me your key oh your key
Still waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting


5.Motion

Lying in the dark thinking all the night
Need to be sedated it's almost daylight
Tossing and a turning my bed's on fire
Feeling so frustrated don't' want to be a liar

You got motion motion motion motion

Sick of all my friends want to meed somebody new
They think i'm being phoney i think their phoney too
Felling so frustrated counting on sheep
Want to go to heave hell can keep

You got motion motion, you got motion motion

You got something they can't get enough
They cant' get enough now in a fit of emotion
Oooh la la

You got it you got it
You got motion
You got motion


6.In My Life

How did you get this far lets go
How did you get this far lets go
I'm gonna get things
I'm gonna get things right
Cause in my memory
I've seen changes overnight hey i been in my life
Nothing much happening nothing much happening
In my life
Hey it might change so i still remain
So i still stuck it in my life

I might think of something
When life becomes a fight
Or take relief in
What i think is right

Hey i been in my life etc.

I was born and brought up wrong
And i don't ' know where i come from
Mum had me when she was nineteen
A never was that always has been
When i grew up i went to school
They tried to make me a bloody fool
I woke up and i left that place
Now i run that long rat race

Hey i been in my life
Nothing much happening nothing much happening
In my life
Hey it might change so i still remain
So i still stuck it in my life

Modelling schools training schools finishing schools
All kettle of fish schools such advantages
Hard headed solid fisted a few a facts of life
Such advantages
Hard times


7.Casual Encounter

You are always looking at me
Please don't stare
Everytime i turn around
Your standing there
Just because i sit alone
Don't' mean i'm free
You think your so cool
But you don't cut with me
Don't' ask me what my name is
I know what your game is

It's just a casual encounter
It's just a casual encounter
It's just a casual encounter

Don't come on to me
With all those fancy lines
I can read between them
They're like neon signs
You just want to get me get me into bed
So stop pretending
That you like my head
Don't' ask me what my name is
I know what your game is

It's just a casual encounter
It's just a casual encounter
It's just a casual encounter


8.Heart Telegraph

The night is over long distance sending out
Despatches from the outpost we're moving in
Got burnt in the sun didn't have any fun
So tired of the desert we're moving in
Nothing matters when you feel like this the way we feel
Nothing matters in the morning

Long distance calling sending out
Leaving cardiac outpost we're moving in
The man in he lookout shouts all is well
Then the lights go out but it hurts like hell

Nothing matters whey you feel like this
The way i feel nothing matters in the morning

Long distance sending out heart telegraph stop
Long distance sending out heart telegraph stop
Might as well try and touch the sun

The night is over long distance sending out
Despatches from the outpost we're moving in
Got burnt in the sun didn't have any fun
So tired of the desert we're moving in

Nothing matters whey you feel like this
The way i feel nothing matters in the morning

Long distance sending out heart telegraph stop
Long distance sending out heart telegraph stop
Might as well try and touch the sun


9.Guillotine Day

Too many rifles at your head
Too many lives from which you've fled
Too many stains in your bed
Too many wounds that never bled
Too many tears still to be shed
Too many reason to be dead

Your time is up the day the guillotine comes down
Your time is up the day the guillotine comes down

Too many things you shouldn't have said
Can't see a clearing up ahead
This silly mess that you're in
Will all the time be deepening

Your time is up the day the guillotine comes down
Your time is up the day the guillotine comes down

Time burns you down each day time after time
You try and tear yourself away
And your thirst grows and grows
And you can't find the well
The clue you need to know
Only time will tell


10.Dear Diary

Dear diary i'm lonely
Won't you send someone to hold me
Preston annual fair this room i share the market near
Dear diary i rode today
The ferris wheel carried me away
The jangling tune the dusty moon is it my turn soon

Dear diary i had a dream
A serpent came in a cloak of steam
He wraps me tight each coil a night my heart he bites
It's been a while so much to say
It's such a blur each long hot day
The ferris wheel man terrifies those violent eyes
The wheel the dust spins round too fast
The little lights like shattering glass
Is it a sickness and will it last he hands move fast
A nutty hole where the squirrels build
The fairground sky empty and chilled
The grass is white in squares and black where oil has spilled
These pages burn and the lonely learn
Why there still this memory please explain to me
And why people love so thoughtlessly dear diary

We all run after a dream in life
A heart is a lamb in a sacrifice
Did you ever expect such a struggle and strife
See how she runs
