1.Girl
2.Teenarama
I wanted a holiday
You sure had a lot
To say every night
I thought that a younger girl
Could show me the world
That was right
Co-co-co-cola
Is all you ever drink
The way you smile
The way you wink
Teenarama
Is what you're givin' me
(What you're givin' me)
Teenarama
Injections in the knee
(Injections in the knee)
Teenarama
All that mellow drama
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme gimme
Teenarama
I wanted a change of style
To be with a juvenile
For a week
So I rented an apartment
Then you went and lost the key
Sugar candy
Is all you ever eat
You're so skinny
You're so sweet
Repeat Chorus
Monday
School day
You wait
Weeks late
Dirty star
Coffee bar
First bra
Too far
Ahhhh
Co-co-co-cola
Is all you ever drink
The way you smile
The way you wink
Repeat Chorus
Gimme 15x

3.Girls That Don't Exist
As I ride the subway
and the train
Running round to shelter
From the rain
With the taste on my lips
Of some girl I just kissed
I'm surrounded by
The girls that don't exist
As I roam the alley
And the street
I will walk the shoes
Right off my feet
What I see isn't real
But I just can't resist
I'm surrrounded by
The girls that don't exist
Girls that don't exist
Dressed up in clothes
I've never seen
On every subway wall
In every magazine
Well maybe it's a con-spiracy
(conspiracy)
Girls that don't exist
Are haunting me
As I search (as I search)
The corners of the world
In a bid to find (in a bid to find)
A certain girl (find a certain girl)
If we meet on the street
Then I'll know what I've missed
Cause I'm searching for
A girl that don't exist
Girls that don't exist
Dressed up in clothes
I've never seen
On every wall
In every magazine
Well maybe it's a con-spiracy
(conspiracy)
Girls that don't exist
Are haunting me
(girls that don't exist)
Girls that don't exist
Are haunting me
4.Up All Night
Five o'clock and I've
Spent another night
Sitting here waiting
For the morning light
I feel the sun
Rush through the haze
And all my nights
Turned to days
Six o'clock and the town
Is waking now
(Ah) How bizarre
On my way, don't ask me how
They have to take their daily ride
I meet the paperboy outside
I'm
Up all night
I'm
Up all night
I'm
Up all night
Feel so right
To be up all night
Eight o'clock and it's
Time to go to bed
Sleep all day
Dream about the things we say
We'll make the first
Of all the moves
Don't call me
Til the afternoon
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Tonight's the night
Feels so right
I've been up all night
5.All Messed Up And Ready To Go
After letting the cat
Out into the night
I locked all the doors
And I turned out the light
I used the phone in the hall
I close my eyes
And I make the call
I told my mother
Not to despair
I'll only come home
If you won't run my affairs
The ticket that I got in my hand
Leads right downtown
To the promised land
I left a message for the milkman
Nothing today
Cause I ain't coming home
Never mind the letters
That require reply
Cause I'm
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm
All messed up and ready to go
I hadn't had a lover for days
I've been saying to myself
As my patience fades
Now I got to find my delight
She's out there I know
And I'll need her tonight
I'm working out the things
That I'll say
And I know first
That she's gonna turn me away
The more she seems
Unwilling to please
She'll call me right back
And get down on her knees
Repeat Chorus
I'm
Cause I'm
Cause I'm
Cause I'm
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm (cause I'm)
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm (cause I'm)
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm (cause I'm)
All messed up and ready to go
6.Insomnia
I'm lying on the bed
With the paper in my hand
Turn on the radio
And listen to the band
And when I close my eyes
And I turn out the light
I find the same thing
Happens every night
It's called insomnia
It's called insomnia
That's what the doctor says
And he's so sure
It's called insomnia
It's called insomnia
I call it lack of sleep
And I need a cure
I've tried all kinds of pills
And also counted sheep
Read another magazine
Still I can not sleep
And when I close my eyes
And I turn out the light
I find the same thing
Happens every night
Repeat Chorus
And when I close my eyes
And I turn out the light
I find the same thing
Happens every night
It's called insomnia
It's called insomnia
It's what the doctor says
And he's so sure
It's called insomnia
It's called insomnia
I call it lack of sleep
And I need a cure
For insomnia
7.Affection Rejected
When I try to hold your hand
Or try to kiss you
Then I'm pushed away
And it happens nearly every day
When I try to touch your hand
Just to show I love you
You will say it's hard
Then you wonder why
My arms expand
Affection rejected
And it's effected
My affection for you
And the rest of the world
Affection rejected
When we're in a crowded place
And I wanna hold you
You don't wanna know
I have to go
Affection rejected
And it's effected
My affection for you
And the rest of your kind
Affection rejected
Just as expect
I'm rejected
I'm rejected
If we're goin' to go
On with the show
I don't want to rehearse
Any way is tough enough
And now you're making it worse
Affection rejected
And it's effected
My affection for you
And the rest of the world
Affection rejected
Just as expected
I'm rejected
I'm rejected
Yeah, I'm rejected
I'm rejected
8.The Phone
(Operator, what number are you
calling from...area code...I'm
sorry but that number doesn't answer...will you please try your
number again, again again)
Away in the corner
I always know it's there
If ever I'm lonely
I can call up anywhere
If I got a problem
There's a number
That I can ring
Whenever I'm hungry
It can get me anything
It brings me luck and
It brings me permanent danger
Pick it up and
I hear the voice of a stranger
(Stranger)
Who's calling, who's calling
Who's calling, who's calling
(Calling)
You know you're never there
So don't bother givin' your number
I'll see you anyway
And we'll talk about it
And talk about it and talk
How are you?
I feel fine
Find your number
I've got to try
Some strangers exchange lines
Keeps us talking
Through the night
It brings us luck and
It brings us permanent danger
(Danger)
Pick it up and hear
Your voice or a stranger's
Who's calling 8x
9.Another Star
Well his father always told him
He was born the losing kind
I asked him when he'd leave behind
The night time world
He lived for in his mind
He lighted on the stairway
Then he went into his room
Slammed the door in anger
And looked into the mirror
On the wall, in awe
At reflections that he saw
There was no book
To tell him how to look
Another star
Up in the sky
Invisible to the naked eye
Another star
Shining bright in the dark
Another star
Without a name, undiscovered
There's another star
Well he played the greatest solo
That the world had ever heard
The audience applauded and the fans
Held on to every other word
He said as it came into his head
The girls came round
To hear his every sound
Repeat Chorus
There was a knock upon the door
And he was blown away
All of his dreams to face
The problems of the day
Another star
Up in the sky
Invisible to the naked eye
Another star
Shining bright in the dark
Another star
Up in the sky
Invisible to the naked eye
Another star
Shining bright in the dark
Another star
Without a name, undiscovered
There's another star
Without a name, undiscovered
There's another star
10.Abracadabra (Have You Seen Her?)
Have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
There's magic in the air
First she's here
And then she's there
Now you see her
Now you don't
First she'll do you
Then she won't
Have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
I was young and I was green
She was old and she was mean
Just a fortune telling queen
Like nothing I'd ever seen
Have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
She's such a magical lady
I let her grab my shoulder
I've been trying for ages
Now she's getting older
She's getting older
Have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
Pulling rabbits out my hat
Enough for it to do
But I don't know where you're at
Or who to send it to
Have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
She was up to using tricks
People say that she's quite sick
Well I know, I'm just the same now
I think it was me who was to blame
Have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
11.See My Friends
See my friends
See my friends
Way across the river
See my friends
See my friends
Way across the river
She is gone
She is gone
Now there's no one there
Except my friends
Way across the river
She just went
She just went
Way across the river
Now she's gone
Now she's gone
Wish I had gone with her
She is gone
She is gone
And now there's no one left
Except my friends
Way across the river
She is gone
And there's no one left
To take her place
She is gone
And there's no one left at all
Except my friends
Way across the river
See my friends
See my friends
Way across the river
See my friends
See my friends
Way across the river
See my friends
See my friends

13.Have You Seen Your Mother Baby
14.Starry Eyes (45 version)
While you were off in France, we were stranded in the British
Isles
Left to fall apart amongst your passports and your files
We never asked for miracles but they were our concern
Did you really think we'd sit it out and wait for your return?
I don't want to argue, I ain't gonna budge
Won't you take this number down before you call up the judge?
I don't want to argue, there's nothing to say
Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way
While you were on the beach
Were you dreaming all about your share?
Planning to invest it all to cover wear and tear?
We paid for all the phone calls, the money's off the shelf
Don't you know that while you're gone away, I've got to help
myself?
I don't want to argue, I ain't gonna budge
Won't you take this number down before you call up the judge?
I don't want to argue, there's nothing to say
Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way
While you were in the pool, we were meeting with the boys
upstairs
Talking to the money men and carrying out affairs
We had no time for cocktails or working up a tan
The boys have all been spoken to, the writ has hit the fan
I don't want to argue, I ain't gonna budge
Won't you take this number down before you call up the judge?
I don't want to argue, there's nothing to say
Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way
15.Paint Her Face
There on a monday
When a train came into town
She said she was an artist
Tried to get an autograph
Never had a photograph
Just a memory
Oh, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
All the colors were bright
Well, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
But I couldn't get
The shape quite right
Tried to send a letter
I had to know again
Tried to check the phonebook
Didn't even know her name
Never had a photograph
Just a memory
How I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
All the colors were bright
Well, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
But I couldn't get
The shape quite right
I remember her eyes
Were big and bright
I'm sure her nose was small
I knew her lips were ruby red
I want her picture on my wall
Getting her complexion
Was harder then I thought
I couldn't find the colors
Amongst all the paints I bought
If I had a photograph
Not a memory
How I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
All the colors were bright
Well, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
But I couldn't get
The shape quite right
Tried
Tried to paint her face
All the colors were bright
Well, I tried
Yes, I tried
To paint her face
But I couldn't get
The shape quite right
16.Rock'n'Roll Love Letter
17.Wives And Mothers Of Tomorrow
Friday night, the music calls
The band just pushes their hair
Fancy clothes, I watch them dress
Dangers in the air
They're dancing for a reason
Needed for a purpose
Wives and mothers of tomorrow
Here they come now
Dancing in the moonlight
Wives and mothers of tomorrow
Here they come now
Got to get the thing right
Wives and mothers of tomorrow
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't you vome out tonight
Some boys in baggy pants
Just look for a face
On the dance floors of the world
True love shows it's face
They're dancing for a reason
Needed for a purpose
Well in five years time
This dancing thing
Will be no more then a memory
Just a request on the show
Won't you play a tune for me
2 am the music stops
All the lights go out
In the alley down the street
See them twist and shout
They're dancing for a reason
Needed for a purpose
Won't you come out
Won't you come out
Won't you come out tonight
18.Held Up High
Well his father always told him
He was born the losing kind
I asked him when he'd leave behind
The night time world
He lived for in his mind
He lingered on the stairway
Then he went into his room
Slammed the door in anger
And looked into the mirror
On the wall in awe
At the reflections that he saw
There was no book
To tell him how to look
Then his heart told him
He must break out of his cage
With his head held up high
To the sky
He was off, on the stage
Well he played the greatest solo
That the world had ever heard
The audience applauded
And the fans held on to
Every other word he said
As it came into his head
The girls came round
To hear his every sound
Repeat Chorus
There was a knock upon his door
And he was blown away
Out of his dreams to face
The problems of the day
Then his heart told him
He must break out of his cage
With his head held up high
To the sky
He was there
Aah aah, aah aah, aah aah, aah aah
