Lyrics


1. SECRETS

The devil's hidden in your dark eyes
As we drive off into the night
Blue car took me by surprise
Blew out my only candle light

I get my pleasure from your midnight sighs
Where you take me's neither here nor there
What you told me's just a pack of lies
You keep me hangin' on but you don't care

Secrets... locked in your heart
Secrets... hidden in the dark
Secrets... tearing us apart... secrets

After sex she smokes a cigarette
And slowly climbs back into her mind
She smiles as she tried to forget
The pain that only fades in time

Secrets, you've been keeping secrets
Secrets, you've been keeping secrets

I feel a fool in conversation
I'm so surprised by what you say
I can't control the situation
I've fallen all the way... all the way

She takes a bottle from beside the bed
Closes her eyes and tips back her head
She says she needs a little time to think
I know she wants a lot more to drink

2. HEAD OVER HEELS

The opening line in a new romance
Your bodies touch when you start to dance
You know you've drunk too much and you're looking a mess
You've spilt red wine over her new dress

Could it be that you've fallen in love ?
I don't know I think I'm head over heels

You go tot the kitchen in search of a drink
A cigarette and time to think
You say, could this be love or just a sexual feeling
My head's in the air but my heart's up on the celling

Just like a cat and a mouse you both know the score
It's hard to give in if you've been hurt before...
Falling... slipping down
Deep in love with the crazy little girl
Falling... slipping down
Head over heels in love

3. CAN'T GET TO SLEEP

Are your days as sad as mine are long
Do you cry when you hear sad songs
Does it hurt you physically...
... cos baby it still hurts me
Do you lie awake all thru the night
Do you toss and turn and curse the birds outside
Does sleep come easily...
... and baby, how do you dream

Can't get to sleep anymore
Can't get to sleep on my own
Gan't get to sleep
And does the pain of our parting make you sad
Do you ever start to think that you've gone mad
Are you drinking far too much
Or baby, are you on drugs

I didn't ask to hold your picture here in my head
I don't need to remember every word you said
I can't hold down my food
Cos I remember that you eat too !

Can't get to sleep anymore
Can't get to sleep on my own

4. IF I HAD WINGS

I heard you'd been hurt by what someone said
Some bitch made it worse, you smacked her in the head
It ain't easy being so far apart
It don't help when the rumours start
Don't worry baby, no one can tear us apart

I'd do anything, just hold on tight
If I had some wings, I'd fly to you tonight
I'd go anywhere, I'd do anything
Just to be there, make you feel alright

We both get upset, talking on the telephone
Long distance love, so far from home
I know I'll cry when I hear your voice
I need to call, I've got no choice
No one said love was pleasure without pain

5. GET UP GET OUT

If you wake up in the morning
And you don't know where you've been
Your head is reeling, you've got no feeling
You're living in a dream
You've got to get yourself together
Don't worry about a thing
You've got tot get up get ou t get on the road again

If you're low down, feeling pushed 'round
Or you're tied to your lovers bed
Your wanna showdown, you gotta leave town
To clear your aching head

You've got to get yourself together
Don't worry about a thing
You've got tot get up get ou t get on the road again

Something in the back of your mind
Tells you you've got nothing to lose
So pack up your bags kick off the dust
Get movin' them shoes

6. JUST WANTED TO DANCE WITH YOU

Let's all go out and have some fun
Let's dance until the morning sun... let's go

I just wanted to dance
I just wanted to dance with you

Oh babe I'll know just when you're mine
Can you feel the tingle in your spine ?

Come on baby let's do something knew
I'm so happy when I move with you
The way you dance is a dream come true

7. FAST CAR

I'm driving along at 90 miles an hour
And my girlfriend says that my car don't have the power
Then she starts to scream and shout
She tells me she wants to get out
"You gotta get a fast car if you wanna take me home" (that's what she says !)

I'm heading down the streets, I'm heading for a heart attack
Cos my girlfriend she treats the road like a racing track
You know back seat drivers bring me down
They gave my car a nervous breakdown
You gotta get a fast car if you wanna take me home

You know I get sick and tired
When she starts to complain
Just cos I say, why don't you take the train

You know I get sick and tired
When she makes a fuss
Just cos I say, honey catch the bus
You gotta get a fast car if you wanna take me home

8. IDEAL WOMAN

I've been searchin' for quite some time
I've been lookin' but I still can't find
I've been all 'round the whole wide world
I'm still lookin' for the perfect girl...

I want an ideal woman for a difficult man
I'm still looking but I don't understand
Why an ideal woman for a difficult man
Must be as difficult to find as an ideal man

Girls on booze and girls on drugs
Girls in bars and late night clubs
Girls from Tokyo to Camden Town
I've been lookin' but I still haven't found...

Pretty women and beauty queens
Girls straight out of my wildest dreams
I've been with rich girls I've been with poor
There's one woman I'm waiting for...

9. ROB THE BANK

People say you can live on love
And you don't need no money
I got love and it ain't enough
And hard times they ain't funny

I'm sick and tired of living like a tramp
My clothes are dirty, my bedroom walls are damp
I got a plan...
Let's rob a bank today
Steal a car and get away
Let's rob a bank today
Make the news and make crime pay today

I'm gonna change my clothes and dye my hair
Put on a cool disguise
I got a gun and I don't care
I'm gonna take 'em by surprise

Cash is the problem that we've got to cure
Money's like a drug girl, that we, we've got to score !

I've seen it on the movie screen
And I've seen it on TV
But darlin' this one isn't a dream
Cos no one catches me !

10. THE LEATHER, THE LONELINESS AND YOUR DARK EYES

Fresh bread on the canvas
Shotgun on my lap
Hip flask in my pocket
Sun beats on my back

Young girls make me nervous
Bad dogs bring me luck
Gonna need all three
In the back of this truck

Just the leather, the loneliness and your dark eyes

Red blood on my fingers
Hot blood on the snow
No signs of emotions
No feelings that show
I'm acting on instinct
Don't know your designs
I don't care what you think
Don't care what's on your mind

Just the leather, the loneliness and your dark eyes
Your eyes... open your eyes

The jets overhead took us all by surprise like the sweat
And the dust in your eyes, your dark eyes
