The Very Best Of Kim Wilde

Kim Wilde The Very Best Of Kim Wilde Lyrics
1.2-6-5-8-0

Written:ricky & marty wilde

I watch a man sitting down the park
The flashy suit manufactured by the makers
He's got a pen and he circles an add
It makes him laugh 'cos he's reading dirty papers

2-6-5-8-0

She doesn't know but she's getting his call
He's talking straight but he wants it in a strange way
She combs her hair doesn't worry at all
He could be mad but its just another pay day

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

She likes to live on the poor side of town
She's shacking down with a guy from west guiana
The boys around always look at the ground
Oh, what they'd give for a night with that piranha

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

She doesn't have to make her money that way
She's such a pretty young girl
I guess they love it 'cos you hear when they stay
They cry oh, oh, oh

This guy arrives looking scared as a rat
He needs her love but he wants it like a brother
Three hours later he crawls out on his knees
She's laughing loud 'cos he's calling for his mother

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me


2.Boys

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Fresh out of school the young girl lose the sound
She's gonna go where the young bands hang around
And it's still to right with a voice inside
She's screaming, dreaming
And there's no disguise when you look in her eyes she's scheming

I'm thinking about the boys
She's thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys

There in the dark he starts to touch her hair
Others go round but right now you don't care
Well you just don't fight when they're holding you tight
That feeling, feeling
Well it looks to good and he's making it so appealing

I'm thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys

Still feeling ground as she goes to make the kill
Watching her move the world is standing still
Cos its still too right with a voice inside
You screaming, dreaming
And there's no disguise when you look in their eyes she's
scheming

I'm thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys


3.Cambodia

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Well he was thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to cambodia

And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
Ans as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside cambodia

But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - don't cry now - no tears now

And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again

5.Child Come Away

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No i won't give you reasons so don't ask why

I read the story about a week ago
They found her on the beach that night
They thought the light had gone out of her eyes
And no-one thinks she'll ever be right
She was so full of her life
Happy with the people she knew
But then no-one can tell

Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No i won't give you reasons so don't ask why

Guess all they found were some marks in the sand
A message saying 'she is mine'
Nobody touched her as she got in the car
Well nobody dares to anytime
She was so full of her life
The girl that everybody once knew
But now no-one can tell

Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No i won't give you reasons so don't ask why

And when they read a story out to the judge
I heard they had to turn away
It's all over town

I saw her face in the back of a car
As they were speeding out of town
She's got a mark on the side of her face
That no-one's ever seen around
And what she is or what she's become
I guess the town will never know

Child come away
It's the girl with the deputy walking by
Child go and play
No i won't give you reasons so don't ask why


6.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


7.Everything We Know

Written:ricky & kim wilde

Don't bring your gun 'round here
Don't need you mouthing off your fear
It touches all you can build a wall
We all have tasted tears

Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go

We walked along the beach
Once lovers now we're out of reach
Windy skies, they kissed me goodbye
It takes experience to teach

Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go

Nobody laughed today
I went to watch the children play
Their smiles and mine were frozen in time
I'll just remember them that way

Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go


8.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


9.Kids In America

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the
City go rushing by
I sit here alone
And i wonder why

Friday night and everyone's moving
I can fell the heat
But it's shooting
Heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town

Down town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing

Chorus :

We're the kids in america (x 2)
Everybody live for the music-go-round

Bright lights the music gets faster
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance

Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind

Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory

Ch.

Come closer, honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience
Feeling right
Oh don't try to stop baby
Hold me tight

Outside a new day is dawning
Outside sububia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby
New york to east california
There's a new wave coming i warn you

Ch.

We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in america


10.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


11.Our Town

Written:ricky & marty wilde

This is your town, this is my place
This is where my whole world is lived in
Nothing much, and just out of reach of all the city lights
It's a high town, it's a low town
It's get here, come on you grow town
No-one does, but everyone thinks they're gonna make it soon
This is one place i respected
Now i feel it's really dejected
No-one cares and the people just stare
And a man on the box says
'hey you, don't walk away, vote for me
You'll get more pay, keep working hard'
But they work slow

Here it comes now, sunday morning
Just another sleepy town yawning
Down below everything looks just like another day
But, in the warm glow of the sunrise
There's a child who's searching with young eyes
Looking 'round and feeling inside he's gonna fly away
There was one time i was leaving
But the folks around me kept grieving
Friends said go, but my dad said no
And my mum kept saying
'don't go, don't go away
Don't leave us, you've got to stay
Just raise them kids, oh mother no'

No prospects, just projects
Don't try to tell me we're living
There's no real need to try
Can't you see this town gonna die

Hail the new age, it's a rat cage
Join the place for breeding dumb spieces
All stacked up and doing whatever someone tells you to
Burn the place down, make it dead ground
Show the people just what they're missing
Wake up, wake up, can't you believe in what i'm telling you
There's a house where i was born in
Now it's changed without any warning
Cranes just crash and bricks just smash
While a billboard's saying
'let's go, let's get away
Come fly me, you've weeks to pay
When sunshine calls, but i won't go

This is our town


12.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


13.Take Me Tonight

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Lost in the dark the lovers embrace
As the last song plays, everyone makes for home
Now it's just me and you alone

And i won't really care if we can't meet again
You just live your life i'm just a night to pass
You're just a dream that couldn't last

Take me tonight
Take me tonight
Take me tonight
I want you, i want you - want me too ?

No way of knowing just where my life's going
Who cares if it's wrong or it's right
When all i believe in is just how i'm feeling tonight

Oh, take me tonight
Take me tonight
Take me tonight
I want you, i want you

To fade


14.View From A Bridge

Written:ricky & marty wilde

View from a bridge, can't take anymore
View from a bridge, can't take anymore

I guess it all began about a year ago
Like a cheap love magazine
You know the kind you read about
And have to laugh
At the pages in between
Now i can't believe that fool inside is me
'cos i just can't face the world
I've grown to see

View from a bridge, can't take anymore
View from a bridge, can't take anymore

I saw you kissing her
I saw you making her
In the soft sheets in between
But when you turned around
I saw your eyes were fire
And you crashed out all my dreams

And like a fool i just stood there
And let it go
I should have fought right back
And let my feelings show

View from a bridge, can't take anymore
View from a bridge, can't take anymore

You sure as hell knew how
To make a fool out of me
Well you cut me down
For the things you want
And now it's killing me

I'll lay it on the line now
You're running out of time now

But then a voice said jump
And i just let go
And i'm floating out in space
But then i feel your arms
And i turn around
To a ghost without a face

And i just don't know
What's fact or fantasy
'cos when i look below the bridge
I see it's me


15.Water On Glass

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Cascading down
There's a sound vaporising into vision
It's a sound in my head
That i feel and it shuts me in a prison

Say it won't last
Say it will pass
Always the sound in my brain
Can you hear it

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Dancing away
Like the lights on a moving coloured river
Sounds in my head seem to run
And again i feel a shiver

Say it won't last
Pray it will pass
Always that sound in my brain
Can you hear it (can you hear it)

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down


16.You'll Never Be So Wrong

Written:ricky & marty wilde

Just two lovers in a seedy cafe
Someone's leaving, the waiter says 'hey, won't you wait'
Running nowhere, she hides in her room
What he told her had to get out and soon

It's just a bad affair you've had
No need to cry, don't take it bad
You'll soon be glad when you're far apart

You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'cause i'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again

Now she's breaking but what can she do
Somewhere out there a car disappears out of view
Fumbles somewhere for stale cigarettes
Looks for numbers, the ones she could dial but forgets

No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
You've go to realise you''re free

You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'cause i'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again

No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
You've go to realise you're free

You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'cause i'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again
