Catch As Catch Can

Kim Wilde Catch As Catch Can Lyrics
1.Back Street Joe

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Dancing with back street joe
That was a time i loved
When we were kids so young
So long ago

Dancing with back street joe
Back in a time i loved
We used to move all night
That was a time to know

There comes a time in your life
When you just wanna break free
But now i wanna go back
I wanna have him with me

Dancing with back street joe
We used to want that sound
And everytime it played
We used to hang around

There was music and
There was rhythm and
There was something i can't explain
Out of nowhere he'd
Move his shoulder
And make you feel you could
Live again

Then came a moment in time
When i just had to be free
But now i wanna go back
I wanna go back and see
That look in his eyes again
And now on the streets
I look for you joe

Dancing with back street joe
Back in the streets i love
We used to dance all night
Was it so long ago ?


2.Can You Hear It?

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Feel it in the rushing wind
Brushing up against your mind
Look for a way to go
Head for the border sign
You could be gone
You could be far away
Soon you must fly free

And yes
Somehow you'll find what you've been missing
There was more to life
Than visions we had dreamed about

Can you hear it calling you?
Can you?
Can you hear it calling you?
Can you hear it coming through to you?
When you hear it calling you
It's your freedom

If you are on your own
If you have been betrayed
Stand by the truth you love
Don't let it get mislaid
You're not alone
And nothing can hold you down
Soon you will be free

And yes
Somehow you'll find what you've been missing
There was more to life
Than anything you dreamed about

Can you hear it calling you?
Can you?
Can you hear it calling you?
Can you hear it coming through to you?
When you hear it calling you
It's your freedom


3.Dancing In The Dark

Written:n. chinn & p. gurvitz

We were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start

He stepped into the night
With his heart open wide
I was standing there
With nowhere left to hide
He looked to me like a shadow
Moving in the night
Then he took a hold of my hand
In the soft moonlight

And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start

I could hear his heartbeat
Pounding in the night
I could feel his body
Starting to be kind
With his soft red lips
Made up my mind
His soothing kiss
Was all i desired

And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start

We kissed and touched
But it wasn't enough
To stop this wheel of fire
One step at a time
And i knew he was mine
We were lost in the heat of desire

And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start

No way
No way at all
To stop us moving closer
Each look in his eyes
Made my heart beat in time
Over and over and over and over

And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start

And we were dancing
Dancing in the dark
Sweet romancing
Something's gonna start


4.Dream Sequence

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Shadows across the floor
Memories fading in
Voices are far away
Now it can all begin

'new york are on the 'phone
They want you here today'
'was it a fashion show ?'
'sorry they wouldn't say'

There's a world full of dreams
Lying on a pillow
There's a world no-one knows
Wrapped up in her mind
(it's all imagination)

Now she is back in school
(it's the revolution)
Staring at broken glass
(do what we want you to)
Flicking the flies away
(total autonomy)
Watching the trains go past

Fighting the indian war
Cochise is closing in
Now she can touch his face !
Riding so close to him

There's a world full of dreams
Lying on a pillow
There's a world no-one's seen
Living in her mind

Sailing across a sea
Images on a screen
Watching the boats go by
Red merging into green

Roxanne don't run away
(you've been naughty girl)
I told you not to go
(stay in the garden)
Why do you run away ?
Mommy will sorry so


5.House Of Salome

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Shadows run in the heat of the desert
Hands beat at the door
Someone stands and calls
For the name of salome

As the veils were pushed away
He gazed upon a face
He'd never seen
Was she a dream ?

He heard the sound from a distance voice
You'd better watch out!
You'd better watch out!
He heard the sound from a thousand years
Calling out
Calling out

In the house of salome
You have to surrender

'run with her' said the young handmaiden
'she will be your queen
All your life you'll live
In the dream of salome

Take her mouth and with your hands
Just kiss her painted lips
Don't you make a move
'till salome calls you'

As the music danced around the desert night
He smelt her perfumed skin
As they made love

He heard the sound of a distant voice
You'd better watch out!
You'd better watch out!
He heard the sound of a thousand years
Calling out
Calling out

In the house of salome
You have to surrender


6.Love Blonde

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Something's coming down the street
Something static under your feet
Never looking left or right
'coz she'll just blow you out of sight

She's never waiting on your smile
Devastating, what's in her style ?
Situation no-go zone
But she'll cut loose when she's alone

Chorus:
She's a love blonde
She's a love blonde
She's a love blonde
She's got that sensuality for love

When the boys say 'how you been
What you doin', can we get in ?'
Eyes'll flash and lips will smile
And she'll just tease them for a while

'coz now you see her, now you don't
You could be there, only you won't
If you've got that 'savoir faire'
Well that girl knows and she's aware

Chorus

Oooh, well if she fills your dreams tonight
Oooh, just lay back and hold on tight

Chorus


7.Shoot To Disable

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Mirrored in your face
Is a look that says it all

Boy i'm slow
I've been uncertain
Just couldn't be sure
Now i know

You say it's over
But just how long have you known
(you better go now)
But as you leave me

Shoot to disable
Shoot to disable

Maybe i got careless
Maybe it's true i ran too fast
But on recollection it didn't do much
So i pass

You're such a hard man
Why can't you take steady aim
(just get it over with)
Don't fool around now

Shoot to disable
Shoot to disable

Oh what a fool i was to love


8.Sing It Out For Love

Written:ricky & marty wilde

They've been out on the road so long
Now they're working their way through all the dirty towns
Singing their hearts out
To the drunks who haunt the bars
Still the ghosts will keep on calling
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again

Guess she heard through a million tears
'when you sing you should brush the hair out of your eyes'
'come and sit by me girl
Would you like to share my beer?'
Feel his hand slip down her shoulder
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again

But she's lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
And knowing she lost the life
She could have had

Watching trucks as they roll on by
And she'll wave as they disappear around the bend
Shrugging her shoulders
And she'll head back to the bar
'cue the band' the boss is shouting
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again

But she's lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
She's thinking about the good times
Never had
And wondering why the bad times
Get so bad


9.Sparks

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Caught in the times we live in
Caught in the times we know
It's taking a real hard line
You feel you're becoming a number
Nobody needs your trouble
Gives you the time of day
But kicking the world behind
Won't make it go away
Cos we're strong
And we're big enough to take
Whatever time will bring
We've only one life
And we've gotta lot to give
There's only one time
And we've got to make or break it

Let the sparks fly out again
Let the feelings tell you when
Let the sparks fly out again

Flick of the fingers
And they'll cut you down for sure
You gotta be hard sometimes
And so you pretend it's nothing
Finding what to believe in
That's what it's hard to do
Boy there was another time
I saw the best in you
Cos we're strong
And we're big enough to take
Whatever time will bring


10.Stay Awhile

I'm touching your face and i
Can't get very far
You travel a million miles
Always in the stars
And crossing the clouds
A fading moon
Whispered 'it's goodbye'
But as it starts to die

Stay awhile
Show your love
Child amoung the stars
Just stay awhile
Lay with me
Tell me who you are

I've never believed in much
What can i be worth ?
I'm always a shooting star
Falling down to earth
I prayed in my heart
You'd never know
Feelings wouldn't show
But now before you go

Stay awhile
Show your love
Child amoung the stars
Just stay awhile
Lay with me
Tell me who you are

And crossing the clouds
A fading moon
Whispers 'it's goodbye'
But as it starts to die

Stay awhile
Show your love
Child amoung the stars
Just stay awhile
Lay with me
Show me who you are

Just stay awhile
