Discoteca                       Hay una discoteca por acqui? I don't speak
the language I can't understand a word Where angels fear to tread I've
sometimes walked and tried to talk but how can I be heard in such a world
when I'm lost? I'm doing what I do to see me through I'm going out and
carring on as normal Hay una discoteca por acqui? Te quiero Entiende usted?
Digame Cuanto tiempo tengo que esperar? I don't speak in anger though the
chances that I've let pass me by and now regret I can't forget They're
haunting me like the score of unpaid depts Is it enough to live in hope that
one day we'll be free without this fear? I'm going out and carring on as
normal Hay una discoteca por acqui? Te quiero Entiende usted? Digame Cuanto
tiempo tengo que esperar?

Metamorphosis                 Please allow me to try and explain I'm living
proof that man can change I knew what I wanted I knew how to get it It
didn't make me happy so I started again what I wanted to be was a family man
but nature had some alternative plans So I did without the lot put emotion
on hold and hoped my instincts would do what they were told I wanna know
yeah I wanna know But every now and then often at night a particular feeling
would surface in spite of what I'd told myself and tryed to deny I kept on
asking the question: why? I wanna know You grow up and experience this a
total metamorphosis It's all about change It's a metamorphosis With time and
age I had to change 'cause my behaviour was getting strange People on the
street caught my eye and I began to think I might be their kind of guy The
long-term suppression of an adolescent urge was in retreat and I was on the
verge of falling in love ar having fun Time was running out something had to
be done I wanna know yeah I wanna know I wanna know yeah tell me what's the
reason Where was I? Laying down the law dancing with the others out on the
floor Music and smoke what did it mean? Somebody spoke and I went into a
dream I had what I wanted madly in love Nothing else mattered This was enough
Questions were answered which is used to perplex in particular those about
the big s.e.x. I wanna know yeah I wanna know I wanna know yeah tell me
what's the reason Tell me what's the reason You grow up and experience this
a total metamorphosis It's all about love It's a metamorphosis Dreaming is
easy life is though I got the picture The most important things is not to end
up bitter 'cause when you start to feel increasingly forlornger - woomph! -
love comes right around the corner it may not last here am I once a
caterpillar now a butterfly It can seem strange but when you remenisce It's
all about change It's a metamorphosis I wanna know yeah I wanna know It's all
about love It's a metamorphosis You grow up and experience this a total
metamorphosis It's all about change It's a metamorphosis I wanna know yeah I
wanna know I wanna know yeah I wanna know It's all about change It's a
metamorphosis I wanna know yeah I wanna know It's all about love It's a
metamorphosis

Se a vida e (That's the way life is)                Come outside and see a
brand new day The troubles in your mind will blow away It's easy to believe
they're here to stay but you won't find them standing in your way Se a vida
e I love you Come outside and feel the morning sun Se a vida e I love you
Life is much more simple when you're young Come on essa vida e That's the way
life is That's the way life is Although we see the world through different
eyes We share the same idea of paradise So don't search in the stars for
signs of love Look around your life you'll find enough Se a vida e I love
you Come outside and feel the morning sun Se a vida e I love you Life is
much more simple when you're young Come on essa vida e That's the way life
is That's the life is Why do you want to sit alone in gothic gloom Surrounded
by the chost of love that haunt your room? Somewhere there's a different door
to open wide You gotta through those skeletons out of your closet and come
outside So you will see a brand new day The troubles in your mind will blow
away It's easy to believe they're here to stay but you won't find them
standing in your way Se a vida e I love you Come outside and feel the morning
sun Se a vida e I love you Life is much more simple when you're young Come
on essa vida e That's the way life is That's the way life is

It always comes as a surprise                I can't be cool or nonchalant
Call me an impulsive fool You're all I want You may be right It's too much
too soon to talk of love all night in your bedroom I don't know why it
always comes as a surprise to find I'm here with you You smile and I am
rubbing my eyes at a dream come true I won't play games or waste your time
but I won't to feel ashamed to speak my mind So just relax Don't question why
for calculated facts will not apply I don't know why it always comes as a
surprise to find I'm here with you You smile and I am rubbing my eyes at a
dream come true In my life there've been few who've affected me the way you
do (you do you do) I'll tell no lies I won't pretend but if you've broken
heart I'll help it mend I don't know why it always comes as a surprise to
find I'm here with you You smile and I am rubbing my eyes at a dream come
true Smile and I am rubbing my eyes at a dream come true

A red letter day                         Go to work and take your calls Hang
the fruits of your labour on the walls Such precision and care What does it
matter if there's no one here to share the flowers in the garden the wine the
Waiting for Godot and so much modern time? All I want is what you want I'm
always waiting for a red letter day The years perfecting a stance of measured
cool fade into insignificance the moment one starts to understand what on
earth does it profit a man? All I want is what you want I'm always waiting
for a red letter day For something special somehow new someone singing
'I love you' Baby I'm waiting for a red letter day You can sneer or disappear
behind a veneer of self-control But for all of those who don't fit in who
follow their instincts and are told they sin this is a player for a different
way All I want is what you want I'm always waiting for a red letter day Like
Christmas morning when you're a kid Admit you love me and you always did Baby
I'm hoping for that red letter day today

Up against it                          News in this city breaks without pity
Long after the war has ended we're still in fatigues Up against it The higher
you fly the further you fall Up against it Wondering why we fought after all
Such a cold winter with scenes as slow as Pinter Synchronise your watchers
There's still time to kill Up against it Drinking this swill to sweeten the
pill Up against it The more that it hurts the less that it works Wrapped in
nostalgia to queue for a show Back to Trafalger one kiss then I'll go So deep
in quicklime the bones of an old crime I knew a man who raked them over He's
still suffering Up against it Buried so deep it gives me the creeps Up
against it The longer you hate the more that it grates Up against it Look
left then right and run for your life Up against it The more that it hurts
the less that it works

The survivors                     Cross a windy bridge one winter night Past
Embankment Gardens enter warmth and light Face the music (it's never easy)
Forget the chill Face the future (it's never easy) Find the will If life is
worth living It's got to be done One might be forgiven for thinking it's a
life or the run Many roads will cross through many lives but somehow you
survive Look around Picture what's in store Is this a final edit or is the
subject now a bore? Don't shrug you shoulders (it's always easy) You can't
ignore That life is worth living it's still worth a damn One might be
forgiven for thinking it's something of a sham Many words may make it sound
contrived but somehow we're alive (The survivors) Our heads bowed
(The survivors) At memorials for other faces in the crowd Teachers and artist
(it's never easy) and saturday girls in suits or sequins (it's never easy) or
twinsets-and-pearls If life is worth living It's got to be run as a means of
giving not as a race to be won Many roads will run through many lives but
somehow we'll arrive Many roads will run through many lives but somewhere
we'll survive

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
shure 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
shure 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
It's happened before Concidence 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 shure 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 It's happened before

To step aside                         By the cathedral into the sun pilgrims
are singing their joney done I look at my short life and think of all the
shampagne that I drink with all the faces that I know and how much further
can one go? And if I decide to step aside I will try to reply to the feelings
I hide I look from my window down to the square at workes still queuing
patiently there for market forces to provide what history's so far denied
for a different kind of fate than to labour long and always wait And if I
decide to step aside I will try to return to the person inside Will I always
need you? Would you want me to? Can you love me for good the way you thought
you could? Or will spring bring rain and summer burn? Will tears at last
precede the turn from summer warmth to sudden cold as certainly as growing
old? And if I decide to step aside I will try to forget all the tears I'll
have cried

chance? Should I try? Buy a drink? Or maybe it's too much like hard work
tonight But if they look my way I might be alright Forever forever (Saturday

where I go and I get there fast Don't stop me I know that it's not gonna last
