1.West End Girls
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's 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 madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what
How much have you got？
Have you got it, do you get it？
If so, how often？
And which do you choose：
A hard or soft option？
(How much do you need？)
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
West End girls
You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'till I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
(How far have you been？)
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End Boys, West End girls
West End girls

I don't like rock music.
Ehm, I don't like, I don't like Rockabilly.

But what I do like, I love passionately)

3.It's a Sin
When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, 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
At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, 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
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand
(Zero!)
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, 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
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
4.What Have I Done to Deserve This
You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for my living
How am I gonna get through？
How am I gonna get through？
I come here looking for money
(Got to have it)
And end up living with love, oh, oh
Now you left me with nothing
(Can't take it)
How am I gonna get through？
How am I gonna get through？
I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers
I read you books and talked for hours
Every day, so many drinks
Such pretty flowers, so tell me
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this？
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this？
What have I, what have I, what have I ...
Since you went away I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know, oh
How I'm gonna get through？
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this？
How I'm gonna get through？
You always wanted me to be something I wasn't
You always wanted too much, oh, oh
Now I can do what I want to - forever
How am I gonna get through？
How am I gonna get through？
At night, the people come and go
They talk too fast, and walk too slow
Chasing time from hour to hour
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
What have I, what have I done to deserve this？
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this？
What have I, what have I, what have I ...
Since you went away I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know, oh
How I'm gonna get through？ (baby)
How I'm gonna get through？ (baby)
How I'm gonna get through？ (baby)
How I'm gonna get through？ (tell me)
How I'm gonna get through？ (baby)
How I'm gonna get through？ (yeah)
Gonna get through？
Gonna get through？
I'm gonna get through, right？
We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
We don't need to go to hell and back every night
You never ever left me, baby, think of me...
Oh, babe
We don't have to fall apart, we don't have to fight
We don't need to go to hell and back every night
Gonna get through, baby, I'm gonna get
Forever
Gonna get through, baby, yeah,
Gonna get through, get through, baby, ooh
5.Jealousy
At dead of night, when strangers roam
The streets in search of anyone who'll take them home
I lie alone, the clock strikes three
And anyone who wanted to could contact me
At dead of night, 'till break of day
Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake
It's much too late
Where've you been？
Who've you seen？
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie？
Do you try
To keep in touch？ You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
I never knew time passed so slow
I wish I'd never met you, or that I could bear to let you go
At dead of night, 'till break of day
Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake
It's much too late
Where've you been？
Who've you seen？
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie？
Do you try
To keep in touch？ You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
Where've you been？
Who've you seen？
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie？
Do you try
To keep in touch？ You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
Where've you been？
Who've you seen？
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie？
Do you try
To keep in touch？ You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
Where've you been？
Who've you seen？
You didn't phone when you said you would!
Do you lie？
Do you try
To keep in touch？ You know you could
I've tried to see your point of view
But could not hear or see for jealousy
I never knew 'til I met you
6.Being Boring
I came across a cache of old photos
And invitations to teenage parties
'Dress in white' one said, with quotations
From someone's wife, a famous writer
In the nineteen-twenties
When you're young you find inspiration
In anyone who's ever gone
And opened up a closing door
She said： 'We were never feeling bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought： 'Make amends'
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
When I went I left from the station
With a haversack and some trepidation
Someone said： 'If you're not careful
You'll have nothing left and nothing to care for
In the nineteen-seventies'
But I sat back and looking forward
My shoes were high and I had scored
I'd bolted through a closing door
I would never find myself feeling bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought： 'Make amends'
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend
Now I sit with different faces
In rented rooms and foreign places
All the people I was kissing
Some are here and some are missing
In the nineteen-nineties
I never dreamt that I would get to be
The creature that I always meant to be
But I thought in spite of dreams
You'd be sitting somewhere here with me
'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, then thought： 'Make amends'
And we were never holding back or worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend
And we were never being boring
We were never being bored
'Cause we were never being boring
We were never being bored
7.Go West
(Together) We will go our way
(Together) We will leave someday
(Together) Your hand in my hands
(Together) We will make our plans
(Together) We will fly so high
(Together) Tell all our friends goodbye
(Together) We will start life new
(Together) This is what we'll do
(Go West) Life is peaceful there
(Go West) In the open air
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West) This is what we're gonna do
(Go West, this is what we're gonna do, Go West)
(Together) We will love the beach
(Together) We will learn and teach
(Together) Change our pace of life
(Together) We will work and strive
(I love you) I know you love me
(I want you) How could I disagree？
(So that's why) I make no protest
(When you say) You will do the rest
(Go West) Life is peaceful there
(Go West) In the open air
(Go West) Baby you and me
(Go West) This is our destiny (Aah)
(Go West) Sun in wintertime
(Go West) We will do just fine
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West, this is what we're gonna do)
There where the air is free
We'll be (We'll be) what we want to be (Aah aah aah aah)
Now if we make a stand (Aah)
We'll find (We'll find) our promised land (Aah)
(I know that) There are many ways
(To live there) In the sun or shade
(Together) We will find a place
(To settle) Where there's so much space
(Without rush) And the pace back east
(The hustling) Rustling just to feed
(I know I'm) Ready to leave too
(So that's what) We are gonna do
(What we're gonna do is
Go West) Life is peaceful there
(Go West) There in the open air
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West) This is what we're gonna do
(Life is peaceful there)
Go West (In the open air)
Go West (Baby, you and me)
Go West (This is our destiny)
(Go West) Sun in wintertime
(Go West) We will feel just fine
(Go West) Where the skies are blue
(Go West) This is what we're gonna do
8.Before
The telephone's not answered
So many times you'll call
For many different reasons
So many tears will fall before
You find your love before
It comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure
This is what you were waiting for
So many fears will haunt you
Deny them or regret
Some men will make you want to
And you will not forget before
You find your love before
It comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure
This is what you were waiting for
There's a story of a man who loved too much
He ended up inside a prison cell
You've got to want to give to get it
Or you could land up in the same suspicious hell
It's happened before (Before Before Before)
It's happened before (Before Before)
Coincidence and patience
Will mend this fatal flaw
Though it may seem a long wait
Others have been here before
You find your love before
It comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure
This is what you were waiting for
One day, when the phone starts ringing
You'll answer to the words you're longing for
No tears, no trade, no prison cell
Whatever you need, he will return more
It's happened before (Before Before Before)
It's happened before (Before Before)
You find your love before
It comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure
This is what you were waiting for
You find your love before
It comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure
This is what you were waiting for
It's happened before (Before Before Before)
It's happened before (Before Before)
9.Home and Dry
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
could be here with me
but I won't see you
'til you've made it back again
Home and dry
Home and dry
There's a plane at JFK
to fly you back from far away
all those dark and frantic
transatlantic miles
Oh tonight
I miss you
Oh tonight
I wish you
could be here with me
but I won't see you
'til you've made it back again
Home and dry
Home and dry
Far away
through night and day
you fly long haul tonight
Come to me
you know I'll be here
when you call tonight
Oh tonight
I miss you
Oh tonight
I wish you
could be here with me
but I won't see you
'til you've made it back again
Home and dry
Home and dry
Home and dry
Home and dry
10.Flamboyant
You live in a world of excess
Where more is more and less is much less
A day without fame is a waste
And a question of need
Is a question of taste
You're so flamboyant
The way you look
It gets you so much attention
Your sole employment is getting more
You want police intervention
You live in a time of decay
When the worth of a man
Is how much he can play
Every day
All the public must know
Where you are, what you do
'Cause your life is a show and
You're so flamboyant
The way you live
And it's not even demeaning
You're so flamboyant
It's like a drug
You use to give your life meaning
You're so flamboyant
The way you look
It gets you so much attention
Your sole employment
Is getting more
You want police intervention
Every actor needs
An audience
Every action is
A performance
It all takes courage
You know it
Just crossing the street
Well, it's almost heroic
11.Did You See Me Coming
Did you see me coming
Was I that obvious
For all of a sudden
There were just two of us
You don't have to be in Who's Who
to know what's what
You don't have to be a high flier
to catch your slot
The night we met was cold and wet
I needed a drink or two
I saw you standing there and I knew
I'd like to be loved by you
Did you see me coming
Was I that obvious
For all of a sudden
There were just two of us
You don't have to be what's what
to know who's who
You don't need the DNA
to find the proof
Then and there my life made sense
You were the evidence
Did you see me coming
Was I that obvious
For all of a sudden
There were just two of us
Did you see me coming
I thought I'd have to make
All of the running
I was all yours to take
I'm not superstitious
Or really religious
Just to thyself be true
But now I think I'm starting
to believe in fate
Because it delivered you
Did you see me coming？
Was I that obvious
For all of a sudden
There were just two of us
Did you see me coming？
I thought I'd have to make
All of the running
I was all yours to take
Did you see me coming？
Was I that obvious
For all of a sudden
There were just the two of us
