Catch As Catch Can (1983)

Love Blonde

Somethings coming down the street
Something static under your feet
Never looking left or right
coz shell just blow you out of sight

Shes never waiting on your smile
Devastating, whats in her style ?
Situation no-go zone
But shell cut loose when shes alone

Chorus:
Shes a love blonde
Shes a love blonde
Shes a love blonde
Shes got that sensuality for love

When the boys say how you been
What you doin, can we get in ?
Eyesll flash and lips will smile
And shell just tease them for a while

coz now you see her, now you dont
You could be there, only you wont
If youve got that savoir faire
Well that girl knows and shes aware

Chorus

Oooh, well if she fills your dreams tonight
Oooh, just lay back and hold on tight

Chorus

Shoot To Disable

Mirrored in your face
Is a look that says it all

Boy Im slow
Ive been uncertain
Just couldnt be sure
Now I know

You say its over
But just how long have you known
(you better go now)
But as you leave me

Shoot to disable
Shoot to disable

Maybe I got careless
Maybe its true I ran too fast
But on recollection it didnt do much
So I pass

Youre such a hard man
Why cant you take steady aim
(just get it over with)
Dont fool around now

Shoot to disable
Shoot to disable

Oh what a fool I was to love

Sing It Out For Love

Theyve been out on the road so long
Now theyre working their way through all the dirty towns
Singing their hearts out
To the drunks who haunt the bars
Still the ghosts will keep on calling
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again

Guess she heard through a million tears
When you sing you should brush the hair out of your eyes
Come and sit by me girl
Would you like to share my beer?
Feel his hand slip down her shoulder
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again

But shes lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
And knowing she lost the life
She could have had

Watching trucks as they roll on by
And shell wave as they disappear around the bend
Shrugging her shoulders
And shell head back to the bar
Cue the band the boss is shouting
Sing it out
Sing it out for love again

But shes lonely - thinking of home
Thinking is sad
Shes thinking about the good times
Never had
And wondering why the bad times
Get so bad

Teases & Dares (1984)

Fit In

Fit in, fit in

Im spending nights just dreaming
And playing the music loud
Theyre banging on the ceiling
Theyre praying that Ill soon be out
I almost thought of leaving
Get away from the glares and their unfriendly stares
And now Im all alone
And the telephone teases and dares

Ill get away from them all (oh oh)
So pride comes before a fall
But Im not for giving in
Fit in, fit in

Theyre kicking up a storm in ...
Some strange place they know out of town
Why wont I go along there
Its crazy theyre all doing it now
But right now its the last place
That I wanna see - its my way to be free
And Im getting bored
Of the way they expect me to be

You gotta be, you gotta be

Ill get away from them all (oh oh)
So pride comes before a fall
But Im not for giving in
Fit in, fit in
Fit in, fit in

Im holding on so tightly
But I dont want to take any more
cos what they say just bites me
And gets to me down to the core
A ring and kids invite me
Or a house and a home
And a car and a phone
And a video
Wont they ever leave it alone
You gotta ring, you gotta ring

Ill get away from them all (oh oh)
So pride comes before a fall
But Im not for giving in

I wont fit in, fit in
I dont fit in, fit in
I dont fit in, fit in
I dont fit in, fit in
Oh no, I dont fit in, fit in

Is It Over

Well theres a rumour out
Have you heard anything ?
And if you ask me now
Will I answer your question ?
In your eyes - I could hear you

Chorus:
Is it over
Is it over (or has it just begun)
Is it over
Is it over (or has it just begun)

You never thought it would get to this
And now youre sick with love
Do you think I can heal you
In my mind - I still hear you

Is it over (or has it just begun)
Is it over
Is it over (or has it just begun)

If I thought I was part of you
I would beg you to stay
But I cant live my time in this world
With the felling this way

Is it over (or has it just begun)
Is it over
Is it over (or has it just begun)

And so you ask me now
Have you done anything
And when youre reaching out
Do I still wanna hold you
In my mind - I can hear you

Chorus (repeat to fade)

Janine

Janine - whats going on
Janine - I know that something sure is wrong
Theres lights out on the road
And theyre searchin for you

Janine - life wasnt fair
Janine - when you got home and no-one cared
But running from your life
You let the vultures get through
And they feed on you, they feed on you

Chorus:
So what you gonna do when the lights burn out janine
What you gonna do when your light burns out

Janine - you want the truth
Janine - youll find the pressures now on you
You wanted all the world
But theyve taken it all
And theyre bleeding you, theyre bleeding you

So, what you gonna do when the lights burn out janine
What you gonna do when your light burns out

Heh kid, dont hesitate
Dont stick around now
I bet you can hardly wait
Oh what a time Ill give to you
But its never true

Janine - youll soon be there
Janine - youre on a wing and a prayer
But angels love their own
And theyre reaching out for you

Janine ..... oh janine

Rage To Love

Ten little indians
Standin in a row
All dressed up
But nowhere to go
Lookin for a target
Lookin for a man ........

Just get me outta here
Its not the place
My minds been thinkin on
Just push me out again
Its no use hangin round or hanginon

Seven little indians
Standin in a row
The compere walks on the stage and he says
Sing it girls
But the bands no good
And the song dont cut it

Just get me outta here
Its not the place
My minds been thinkin on
Just push me out again
Its no use hangin round or hanginon

Come on, lets go tonight
We gotta brand new way to celebrate it
Oh - I got this rage to love
Baby - its so right
And if you feel it ...
Good !
Dedicate it
Oh - I got this rage to love

Three little indians
Cryin in their make-up
Nobody stops
And nobody cares

Just get me outta here
Its not the place
My minds been thinkin on
Just push me out again
Its no use hangin round or hanginon

Come on lets go tonight
We gotta brand new way to celebrate it
Oh - I got this rage to love
Baby its so right
And if you feel it...
Good !
Dedicate it
Oh I got this rage to...
Oh its just this rage to... oh I got this rage to love

Shangri-la

Hidden away - its the end of a day
And youre not really thinking at all
Theres that same stupid paper on the wall
And a stain where the damps crawling

Chorus:
Hes still looking for his shangri-la
But he wouldnt know it . . .
If it hit him in the face
If it hit him in the face

Day turns to daze
And indifference plays
While a sun goes on beating in the sky
And a small child falls over as she crys
Somewhere someone is calling her

Chorus
Shes still looking for her shangri-la
But she wouldnt know it . . .
If it hit her in the face
If it hit her in the face

Spoken : I take a look behind me
And the sun shines brighter there
And the people are much more beautiful
In a place without a care
And Im wondering if therell ever be room for me
In shangri-la

Wondering now - do you love me - and now
As I burn with a dangerous desire
Is our time up and on to the next fire
Got my fingers burnt and cut into the wire
Do you think we will ever learn

Chorus

As we keep looking our shangri-la...
Our shangri-la
But we wouldnt know it . . .
If it hit us in the face
If it hit us in the face

Suburbs Of Moscow

Out on my own
In the suburbs of moscow
Out in the rain
Walking down this long avenue

Out to the crowds in the square
Feelings are high everywhere

But the feeling is gone
And I cant break away
(living in moscow)
Out in the cold
(so cold)
When theres nowhere to stay

Look at the girl
Gazing through the window
Clutching her books
Memorising every line

Keep your belief at the start
This was the faith in my heart

But the feeling is gone
And I cant break away
(living in moscow)
Out in the cold
(so cold)
When theres nowhere to stay

Where can we go
In the suburbs of moscow
Watching the rain
Beating down empty streets

Yes, the feeling is gone
And I cant break away
(living in moscow)
Out in the cold
(so cold)
When theres nowhere to stay

The Second Time

Go go

Don't wanna know about vacations in this cheap motel
Don't wanna know about your sea green curtains
Cos all i want 'n' all i need is just some time with you
Don't complicate it - just do it once again

Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go - just go

Don't wanna hear about the time and how it's gettin' late
How can you stop when i could go for hours
You need some magic; come on let me lean on you
Don't look around - you're not goin' anywhere

Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go - just go for it

'cos all i need
And all i need
'cos all i want 'n' all i need

I'm never letting go - baby don't expect me to
How can you stop when my whole world's exploding (go)
Look in the mirrors - and see the heat of something new
Why don't we do it - just do it once again

Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go - just go for it

Don't be so nervous
Don't get so hot
Don't start to fumble it up
'cos all i want 'n' all i need

There's such an urgency in everything i need from you
Stop giving up - you know you can't refuse me (go)
I've every reason to believe there's still a man in you
You done it once so come on go again

Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it, just go
Just go for it, just go...
