1.Beatnik Boy
All my life I had a dream
Of someone I'd like to meet
He would be mine, he'd be so fine
My beatnik boy so sweet
How I wish he would be mine
He looks so neat, he looks so fine
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my beatnik boy
Beatnik boy, beatnik boy
Now I think I've found the one
No boy can beat
He won't be mine, but he's so blind
My beatnik boy so sweet
How I wish he would be mine
He looks so neat, he looks so fine
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my beatnik boy
Beatnik boy, beatnik boy
'Cause you're my beatnik boy
You make me jump for joy
Each day I wonder why
You'll never be mine
'Cause you're my beatnik boy
You make me jump for joy
Each day I wonder why
You'll never be mine
'Cause you're my beatnik boy
You make me jump for joy
Each day I wonder why
You'll never be mine
Never be mine
2.My Best Friend
I asked you a hundred times
Would you be my best friend
Forever, forever
You replied a hundred times
You didn't need a friend
Not never, not never
I saw you cry today
Sad tears all down your face
I wanted to scare away your tears
You asked if I'd be true
To a boy who made me blue
But when I replied you pretended not to hear
In my mind, in your mind
We're both the same, I think
So why should we be so sad?
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my heart
If you'll give me yours
I asked you a hundred times
Would you be my best friend
Forever, forever
You replied a hundred times
You didn't need a friend
Not never, not never
I always wondered why
You seemed so shy
When I asked you if we could be alone
But what you just don't see
Is that's not really me
Just when you're going out I'll be going home
In my mind, in your mind
We're both the same, I think
So why should we be so sad
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my heart
If you'll give me yours
I wish you were mine
I wish it was true
I wish we were for real
I wish you were mine
I wish it was true
I wish we were for real
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my heart
If you'll give me yours
But I know that you won't
Because you're selfish that way
3.Steaming Train
I never said I'd love you always
I never said that I'd be true
A lesson people always taught me
Is I could be so sad with you
I'm on a steaming train
And I'm driving into your heart
I would have stayed with you forever
From the start
I never knew what love could be like
I never wanted what I got
But I've filled it up with love hearts
And games and polka dots
I'm on a steaming train
And I'm driving into your heart
I would have stayed with you forever
From the start
I listen every day hoping to hear
Some of the love in your heart
In your heart
In your ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba, ba
I thought that you could live in my life
And it would have to stay the same
I would not dance in public
Or play those silly games
I'm on a steaming train
And I'm driving into your heart
I would have stayed with you forever
From the start
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba
Ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
4.Just A Dream
I saw a falling star
Although I tried to reach that far
It always seemed a million miles away
Down by the water's edge
Collecting shells and holding your hand
I still remember walking in the sand
'Cause I remember days building castles in the air
Nights flying kites to the moon
Or was it just a dream?
Just a dream
Just a dream
Or just a falling star
Just like the days before
I followed footprints to the shore
Until the sea washed every trace away
But once the tide turns round
The past will not be found again
I know it's just another lonely day
But I remember days building castles in the air
Nights flying kites to the moon
Or was it just a dream?
Just a dream
Just a dream
Or just a falling star
Don't want to think about tomorrow
Don't care, I only want to follow
Your footprints far beyond the silver strand
'Cause I remember days building castles in the air
Nights flying kites to the moon
Or was it just a dream?
Just a dream
Just a dream
Or just a falling star
5.Talulah Gosh
Every day she wakes up
Her life will be a movie
All the things she does, written in her diary
But when the day is done, she cannot tell the truth
Pretend her life's exciting
Pretend she'll never lose
Talulah Gosh was a film star for a day
Talulah Gosh was a top celebrity
You can lie to everyone
But please, please don't lie to me
Now she is a popstar
With her own TV show
Tells them all her stories
And hopes they'll never know
Don't be anybody else
Forget about the rest
You'll always be Talulah
You'll always be yourself
Talulah Gosh was a film star for a day
Talulah Gosh was a top celebrity
You can lie to everyone
But please, please don't lie to me
Talulah Gosh was a film star for a day
Talulah Gosh was a top celebrity
You can lie to everyone
But please, please don't lie to me
6.Don't Go Away
7.Escalator Over The Hill
If age or time should weary you
What would you find to remind you
Of trains we caught and buses we missed
Tickets we bought taking us through
The barrier to the escalator over the hill
Over the hill
In better days I would hear your voice
Never a phrase to remind me
Of things we said and how we talked
Rushing ahead and stumbling through
The barrier to the escalator over the hill
Over the hill
You can't go back, I'm sorry
You can't go back, I'm sorry

9.Way Of The World
10.Testcard Girl
A million people every day
Turn on the television set and say
Testcard girl, testcard girl
Don't you get bored selling out all day?
A million people every day
Turn on the radio set and say
Radio man, radio man
Don't you get bored selling out all day?
A million people every day
Phone up the speaking clock and say
Telephone lady, telephone lady
Don't you get bored selling out all day?
A million people every day
Turn on the speaking clock and say
Telephone lady, Mrs telephone lady, Mrs telephone lady
Don't go away
A million people every day
Turn on the radio set and say
Radio man, Mr radio man, Mr radio man
Don't go away
A million people every day
Turn on the television set and say
Testcard girl, little testcard girl, little testcard girl
Don't go away
You're the only one I've got
11.Bringing Up Baby
Sweetens her tea with jam
Takes five baths a day
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
And the heel falls off her shoe
She says, 'Look at me walk, John.'
'Look at me walk, both feet.'
Maybe she will marry the newspaperman
Or the one with the dinosaur missing
Cheekbones you could cut
La la la la la la la la la la la
Sweetens her tea with jam
Takes five baths a day
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Thinks storms are lovely weather
She says, 'What day is it John?'
'What day is it?'
And they begin
To think of them as one person
Really the girl and Spencer Tracy
Cheekbones you could cut
La la la la la la la la la la la
Sweetens her tea with jam
Takes five baths a day
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Maybe if it all disappears it doesn't matter
Maybe if it all disappears it doesn't matter
Maybe if it all disappears it doesn't matter
La la la la la la la la may-ay-ay-ay may-ay-ay-aybe
Sweetens her tea with jam
Takes five baths a day
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Bringing up baby
Katharine Hepburn
12.I Can't Get No Satisfaction (Thank God)
You burn with a fiery passion of years
(I cant be satisfied)
You read it in literature, so it was the truth
You suddenly know how to have a good time
(I cant be satisfied)
I had some fun about it, but i was alright by nine
Obviously you have something i lack
Get out and don't come back
Did you know i'm a pessimist?
Have you ever wanted to die?
Have you no decency?
It's a hard world, that's no lie
All the experiences we have had
(I cant be satisfied)
Someday you must let me know how you tell the date from my back
I just don't care if i get out of bed
(I cant be satisfied)
The first sign of apathy and you check to see if you're dead
Some of my best friends are bastards like you
At least they're not neurotics too
Did you know i'm a pessimist?
Have you ever wanted to die?
Have you no decency?
It's a hard world, that's no lie (x3)
13.The Girl With The Strawberry Hair
14.Talulah Gosh (radio Session Version)
15.Do You Remember
Do you remember me?
Because I remember you
You were the one who pushed me away
With your black suede shoes
Do you remember the time
You left me at the station
I thought I would see you again
But that was just an innocent dream
And now I've found a new friend
But I have to pretend sometimes
He's you and me
And we're together, together
Do you remember the day
You tried to teach me about art?
To tell me what it all meant
You were so patient when I laughed
Do you still see the girl
Who took you away from me
I heard you are in love now
I know I am
And now I've found a new friend
But I have to pretend sometimes
He's you and me
And we're together, together
And now I've found a new friend
But I have to pretend sometimes
He's you and me
And we're together, together
