Television Personalities Part Time Punks Lyrics
1.If I Could Write Poetry

All those times we spent together
All the love I had I gave to you
Sitting on a park bench in the autumn
Holding hands under a cloudless sky
Happiness is knowing you care for someone
And never having to give a reasons why
For love is never having to say anything
My love is yours to keep till the day you die

If I could write poetry
I would write a thousand poems
To tell the world that I love you

Dreaming we would always be together
Chasing rainbows in a happy sky
Thinking we would always be together
But now I find there's no tears left to cry
If I could catch a falling star I'd give it to you
Even though it's never been done before
And now I'm on a park bench in the autumn
I watch the rainbow disappear from view

If I could write poetry
I would write a thousand poems
To tell the world that I love you

Thinking all the time we spent together
All the love I had I gave to you
Sitting on a park bench in the autumn
Holding hands under a cloudless sky
Dreaming we would always be together
Thinking we would always be together
Hoping we would always be together
But the rainbow disappeared from view

If I could write poetry
I would write a thousand poems
To tell the world that I love you


2.Magnificent Dreams

Just carry on dreaming your magnificient dreams
Just carry on dreaming your magnificient dreams
And if you need someone I'll be here to comfort you
I'll be here if you should need somebody

And if you're unhappy I'll share your tears with you
But don't throw your dreams away, tomorrow they may come true
And if you need someone I'll be here if you should fall
I'll be here with open arms to catch you

Just carry on dreaming your magnificient dreams
Just carry on dreaming your magnificient dreams
And if you need someone I'll be here to comfort you
I'll be here if you should need somebody

And if you need someone I'll be here if you should fall
I'll be here with open arms to catch you

Just carry on dreaming your magnificient dreams
Just carry on dreaming your magnificient dreams

And if you need someone I'll be here


3.Painting By Numbers

If I had a ladder I'd climb up to the sky
And take my paintbox with me to paint your face up high
In yellow green and orange, purple red and blue
To paint the world by numbers is all I want to do

Painting by numbers is easy to do
Painting by numbers I want to paint you

And when I'm rich and famous to New York I will go
I'll talk to Andy Warhol on my own TV show
I'l throw fantastic parties and paint the white house red
I'll dine with Frank Sinatra and stand for president

Painting by numbers is easy to do
Painting by numbers I want to paint you

If I had a ladder I'd climb up to the sky
To tell the world I love you in letters eight miles high
And then I'll go to russia to paint the Kremlin blue
To paint the world by numbers is all I want to do

Painting by numbers is easy to do
Painting by numbers I want to paint you


4.Where The Rainbow Ends

I've searched for love and I've searched for truth
But I must admit I've almost given up trying
So many things I said in haste
And now I'm scared of my own emotions
There's nothing left for me to say
Even though I tried so hard to find you
Just when I thought I had your hand in mine
You told me you had doubts in your mind

I tried so hard to find you

I called your name from the highest hill
I hear your voice even though you're not there
I've searched so hard to find the truth
I searched for love but I'm still crying
For a while there was no one else
But it's no use, there's no denying
Even though I try and pretend
This is where the rainbow ends

I've searched for love and I've searched for truth
But like a fool I let them slip away
Now there's nothing left for me to do
Can't find the words that I should have said
But it's no use, I can't pretend
This is where the rainbow ends


5.Mysterious Ways

I believe in what I see
You believe what you want to believe
But you're the one who's got more need
So don't bother lighting a candle for me

Faith in something
Faith in something

You'll find yourself, if you have faith
You'll see the error of your way
Send for your membership form today
Faith in something bigger they say

In an empty room I cried alone
With a bottle of wine and a handful of pills
I was too scared to call for you
I was afraid you wouldn't hear

Faith in something
Faith in something

Well I'm so ashamed I laughed at you
But you reached out to hold my hand
Communication is the key
Candle burn brightly for me
A bomb's gone off at the BBC
The headlines say at half past three
But no one's claimed responsibility
For the 22 bodies in the mortuary
God acts in mysterious ways
God acts in mysterious ways
God acts in mysterious ways
God acts in mysterious ways


6.How I Learned To Love The...Bomb

Well there's no more sleepless nights for me
Now it's easier from now on
Cos I've realised exactly where I've been going wrong
Well I've been lying awake at night
Worrying about the Russians
But the Russians are my friends
Cos we've got a love that will never end

Cos now I've learned to love the bomb
Now I've learned to love the bomb

Well once we had a plan to go to Greenham Common
And steal a Polaris missile
And we'd put it on the back of a lorry
Now I keep it in my bedroom
And it's yellow black and grey
And I'll polish it every day
And I don't care what the neighbours say

Cos now I've learned to love the bomb
Now I've learned to love the bomb

Don't you be so stupid
No no no

You should like the bomb like you love your mum

And if you want to live in a peaceful world
There's only one thing to do
You've gotta choose Cruise

Cos now I've learned to love the bomb
Now I've learned to love the bomb

Don't you be so stupid
No no no

What the hell do you take me for?
If you going to make bombs you're longing for war

Don't you be so stupid
Now I've learned to love the bomb

The days I've spent on CND campaigns
Just walking, just walking in the pouring rain
Time and time again

How I learned to love the bomb


7.Salvador Dalis Garden Party

Got an invitation to a garden party
And it said that everyone would be there
Famous painters, Pop Art poets and Hollywood filmstars
More celebrities than you have ever seen
In a week of TV

So I wore my brand new paisley shirt
I bought last week in Kensington Market
And I wore my brand new Chelsea boots
I rode there on my scooter but there wasn't anywhere to park it

And it was some kind of happening
Some kind of happening
Some kind of happening
Some kind of happening
Salvador Dali's garden party
Salvador Dali's garden party

Everybody was there
Everybody was there
Everybody was there
Everybody was there

Got an invitation to a garden party
And it said that everyone would be there
Famous painters, the Pop Art poets, Hollywood filmstars
More celebrities than you have ever seen

It was some kind of happening
Some kind of happening
Some kind of happening
Some kind of happening

Jack Nicholson was there
Mia Farrow was there
Woody Allen was there
Dennis Hopper was there
Peter Fonda was there
Debbie Harry was there

Salvador Dali's garden party


8.Sad Mona Lisa

Sad Mona Lisa
The saddest girl I've ever known
Sad Mona Lisa
She lives in a world of her own
Sad Mona Lisa
No-one's gonna break your heart
Sad Mona Lisa
You were different from the start

She likes to go shopping on Saturdays
Especially to Kensington Market
For acid house records her mother hates
And posters of Morten Harket

And she walks around the shops alone
And spends her unemployment money
On lipstick and make-up she never wears
And magazines like Honey

Sad Mona Lisa
The saddest girl I've ever known
Sad Mona Lisa
She lives in a world of her own
Sad Mona Lisa
No-one's gonna break your heart
Sad Mona Lisa
You were different from the start

She dreams of her first boyfriend
Love letters he will send
Tender moments in his arms
Kisses that never end

Tina her sister laughs at her
Which is something of a contradiction
From an unmarried mum from the council slums
With a heroin addiction

Sad Mona Lisa
The saddest girl I've ever known
Sad Mona Lisa
She lives in a world of her own
Sad Mona Lisa
No-one's gonna break your heart
Sad Mona Lisa
You were different from the start
Well no-one's gonna break your heart
