Lyrics

1. EVERY INCH OF YOU

Oh baby I was a loser
Several years on the dole
An Englishman with a very high voice
Doing rock and roll
There are seas of sleeveless t-shirts
Queues around the block
And every man, woman and child
Wants to, suck my cock
I'm in a band with my brother and two best mates
I never leave the house without my SM58

Every inch of you
You know I'm going to work it
Every inch of you

I wanted to be a doctor
I wanted to be a vet
Until I heard 'Communication Breakdown'
On a TDK D90 cassette
My entire adult life was spent defying the man
Now I got the whole arena eating out of my hand

Every Inch Of You
You know I'm going to work it
Every Inch Of You

I've attended my last lecture
Slept through my last class
You can take your qualifications
Shove them up your ass

Every Inch Of You
You know I'm going to work it
Every Inch Of You
Every Inch Of You
Every Inch Of You


2. NOTHING'S GONNA STOP US

I am no messenger
But I will give you a message
A message, of death

When you're cycling through the city at night
And you're dodging these apartment lines
I got my fingers greasy and you didn't care
I was fixing the chain while you're fixin' your hair
I was rolling on tarmac, walking on air

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Fixing your hair
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now

Passed the beach huts on the promenade
Cause it doesn't matter where we are
Oh when you're on the stunt pegs and I'm in the chair
I was pulling a wheelie, you were pulling my hair
They'll never catch us!
Cause we're catching air!

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Fixing your hair
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Fixing your hair
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us, ahhh
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Fixing your hair
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us
Nothing's gonna stop us now


3. WITH A WOMAN

It's all over between me and you
I wanna tell you I still love you but it wouldn't be true
I know it hurts like hell but what else can I do?
You said I wasted your time but that was my time too
Living a lie, I was a liar, I lied
Too much of a coward to admit I wasn't satisfied
I know I caused you pain deep down inside
But the sweet love between us has died
Please forgive me if you can forget the things I've done
Understand that I am just a man
And I've fallen in love
With a woman

This is me leaving, this is me closing the door
I don't wanna be a part of you and me any more
I've had enough now baby, I loved you before
But I can't even remember what I used to adore
Gone. I bet you didn't think I'd dare
You had me locked up in a tower now I'm letting down my hair
My broken heart is not beyond repair
I was drowning now I'm coming up for air
Please forgive me if you can forget the things I've done
Understand that I am just a man
And I've fallen in love
With a woman


4. KEEP ME HANGING ON

I would be so blue
I couldn't do this without you
Whatever else you do
Please don't leave
Don't leave me here
Choking in salt tears
Love you my dear
And I can't breathe

Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
For all that I'm worth
'Til something better comes along
You just keep me hangin' on

I wanna shout
But I just can't get the words out
There ain't no doubt
I'd die for ya
Love you so much
Like a rabbit loves its hutch
I'm feeling such euphoria

Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
For all that I'm worth
'Til something better comes along
You just keep me hangin' on

Hangin' on for dear life
I'm totally at your mercy
Hangin' on by a thread
If you leave me now I would die
I'd be dead.

Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
For all that I'm worth
'Til something better comes along
You just keep me hangin' on


5. LIVIN' EVERY DAY BLIND

In a dead end town
Tied to apron strings
All our friends have left
Destined for better things
Nothing to do
No education
Can't afford a taxi to the station

It's the end of the line
Got nowhere to go
And we've got nowhere to be
So what's stopping you from leaving here with me?

There's nothing left for us here
Let's face it
We're losing sight of our dream
Let's chase it
Leave our mediocre lives behind
Living each day blind
I'm sick of struggling
Just to get through it
The time for talking is over
Let's do it
Nothing you can say will change my mind
Living each day blind
Living each day blind

The kettle is on
The water is boiling
One more cup of tea
And I'm out of here
Shut the door
Keys in the letterbox
Pause to wipe away a silent tear

It's the end of the line
Got nowhere to go
And we've got nowhere to be
So what's stopping you from leaving here with me?

There's nothing left for us here
Let's face it
We're losing sight of our dream
Let's chase it
Leave our mediocre lives behind
Living each day blind
I'm sick of struggling
Just to get through it
The time for talking is over
Let's do it
Nothing you can say will change my mind
Living each day blind

For once in my life
You don't get to touch me anymore
And I'm free
For once in my life
You don't get to touch me anymore
Listen to me...

There's nothing left for us here
Let's face it
We're losing sight of our dream
Let's chase it

There's nothing left for us here
Let's face it
We're losing sight of our dream
Let's chase it
Leave our mediocre lives behind
Living each day blind
I'm sick of struggling
Just to get through it
The time for talking is over
Let's do it
Nothing you can say will change my mind
Living each day blind
Living each day blind

I'm free
For once in my life
You don't get to touch me anymore


6. EVERYBODY HAVE A GOOD TIME

Anticipation, too much to pay
Maybe I'm crazy, but there's something in the air
There's something in the air, ah
Come on people tell me how you feel
You want a good time, well you got yourself a deal
Oh yeah, you got yourself a deal

It's time to make, a brand new start
Take off your thinking, gotta listen to your heart
Everybody have a good time
Everybody have a crush, alright
Everybody have a good time
For tonight may be our last, alright

Good thing you're cool, well I'm mister sure
Come on baby, leave your ego at the door
Cause you don't need it anymore, whoa
Where is all this fighting getting us?
Where is the fire baby, what's the fuss?
Everybody have a good time
Everybody have a crush
Everybody have a good time
For tonight may be our last, alright
Yeah tonight may be our last

Where fools rush in, where eagles dare
You will find us, it's already there
We live the same dream, every night
Having a good time till the morning light
Everybody have a good time
Everybody have a crush
Everybody have a good time
For tonight may be our last, alright
Yeah tonight may be our last.


7. SHE JUST A GIRL EDDIE

That girl has gone and broken your heart
Like pulling the wings off a fly
Come on Eddie, don't fall apart
Plenty more birds in the sky
But your sky is black
The ocean's rising and you can't hold it back

She just a girl, Eddie
I know it feels like the end of the world
But she just a girl, Eddie
There are four billion other girls
Who wanna make love to you

She's not an angel sent down from above
She's just a hand that you hold
She doesn't love you when push comes to shove
That warm fuzzy feeling has gone cold
Feels like you're dead inside
You've got a broken heart and wounded pride

She just a girl, Eddie
I know it feels like the end of the world
But she just a girl, Eddie
There are four billion other girls
Who wanna make love to you
And me

You're not the first, Eddie
Way back in caveman times
Sabre toothed cave ladies chewed up and spat out our hearts

She just a girl, Eddie
She's gone already
Just let her go, Eddie
There are four billion other girls
Who wanna make love to you


8. FORBIDDEN LOVE

Our love is forbidden
That just makes me want you more
I keep it all hidden
My in-laws would treat me like an outlaw
But I don't think I can just sit and watch
From afar
Something as beautiful as you are

Forbidden love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
Cause if this is
Forbidden love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
Oh I might just have obeyed it
Might just have obeyed it
For a while

I tell myself that I've moved on
But I'm still crazy about you
And just because I'm not allowed
Doesn't mean that I don't want to
I don't think I can just be your mate
Anymore
Hell is the truth learned too late
If you didn't want

Forbidden love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
Cause if this is
Forbidden love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
Oh I might just have obeyed it
For a while

Forbidden love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
Cause if this is
Forbidden love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
I might just have obeyed it
For a while

Forbidden love
Forbidden love
Forbidden love
Forbidden love


9. CONCRETE

I walk alone like a concrete lion
In the concrete wilderness
Somewhere deep in the concrete jungle
Is a concrete lioness
Looking for love
In every single thing I see
Looking for love
But love ain't looking for me

Surrounded by millions of people
That I hope I never have to meet
Searching for a sweet lady woman
To share a little body heat
Looking for love
Concrete

Carry your egg like a concrete penguin
A concrete emperor
A concrete man in the concrete tundra
Concrete Antarctica
Looking for love
I'm tired of playing the concrete field
Looking for love
I've got to keep my concrete eyeballs peeled

Surrounded by millions of people
That I hope I never have to meet
Searching for a sweet lady woman
To share a little body heat
Looking for love
Concrete

Surrounded by millions of people
That I hope I never have to meet
Searching for a sweet lady woman
To share a little body heat
Looking for love
Concrete


10. STREET SPIRIT

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things will one day take control
Fade out again
Fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into fruition
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
Fade out again
Fade out again

Fade out again
Fade out again


11. LOVE IS NOT THE ANSWER

Love
Love is not the answer
Love
Love is not your friend
Love
Love is not the beginning

And love
Love is not the end
And love isn't just
Liking someone a lot
I don't know what love is
But I know what love is not

For the feint hearted
You turn your back and it is gone
For the feint hearted
It can melt a heart of stone
And nobody can make it on their own

Love will make you stupid
Love
Love will make you wait
Love
Love is not destiny, it is fate

And love
Ain't that different from hate
In that it hurts like hell
And makes you lose the plot
I don't know what love is
But I know what love is not

For the feint hearted
You turn your back and it is gone
For the feint hearted
It can melt a heart of stone
And nobody can make it on their own

Always on my mind
Always worth a shot
I don't know what love is
But I know what love is not

For the feint hearted
You turn your back and it is gone
For the feint hearted
It can melt a heart of stone
You can't make it on your own
On your own
You can't make it on your own


12. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT LOVE

Angel, it's been fun, but I am disgusted
What I have become yeah
Can't you see, you hit me like a meteor

And left a crater in me, wiping out the signs of love
Now it's just a swelling cloud of smoke above
Damage was astronomical, but I can not get enough,
O-o-oh

Can't believe it's not love we're making
I must have been mistaken
Can't believe it's not love we're making
I'm startled, I'm shaken
It's soft to the touching and it's sweet on the tongue
I think, I could need a second opinion
O-o-oh

Angel, on a wing and a prayer, we made it
It's got to mean something, inside me says
We were brought together
By the Universe's forces that you can not find
Completely irresistible, entirely right
You're incandescent like a star in the sky at night
O-o-oh

Can't believe it's not love we're making
I must have been mistaken
Can't believe it's not love we're making
I'm startled, I'm shaken
It's soft to the touching and it's sweet on the tongue
And now, I'm gonna need a second oṗinion
O-o-oh

Can't believe it's not love we're making
You said you love me but you were faking
Can't believe it's not love we're making
Can't believe it's not love we're making
O-o-oh
Uh u-u-u-u-u-yeah


13. LOVE IS NOT THE ANSWER

Love
Love is not the answer
Love
Love is not your friend
Love
Love is not the beginning

And love
Love is not the end
And love isn't just
Liking someone a lot
I don't know what love is
But I know what love is not

For the feint hearted
You turn your back and it is gone
For the feint hearted
It can melt a heart of stone
And nobody can make it on their own

Love will make you stupid
Love
Love will make you wait
Love
Love is not destiny, it is fate

And love
Ain't that different from hate
In that it hurts like hell
And makes you lose the plot
I don't know what love is
But I know what love is not

For the feint hearted
You turn your back and it is gone
For the feint hearted
It can melt a heart of stone
And nobody can make it on their own

Always on my mind
Always worth a shot
I don't know what love is
But I know what love is not

For the feint hearted
You turn your back and it is gone
For the feint hearted
It can melt a heart of stone
You can't make it on your own
On your own
You can't make it on your own


14. PAT PONG LADIES

We ventured out of the resort one night
Looking for something to do
We were drawn to the bright red lights
That's where I first saw you

We had heard about the beautiful lady boys
Mother Nature couldn't make up her mind
They looked like guys from the waistband down
And they all looked like girls from behind

Forget about my worries for a while and just pretend
That my life is not a total failure
Find myself some company, find myself a friend
With both sets of genetalia

Pat Pong ladies you make me wanna cry
Pat Pong ladies never fail to satisfy my curious-e-Thai
No word of a lie, best I've ever had

We just couldn't wait to go down again when she stripped and watch you tease
Dancing ladies, ladies with no shame and unique abilities
Well produced, right every cup is for the Mini boot, I guess a little sushi would be nice
Now the streets and food will milk it too, my White Russian, can I get some ice?

I don't wanna be alone staring at the wall
Reflecting on my shortcomings and thoughts
An expression of true love is something magical
Between two or more consenting adults

Pat Pong ladies you make me wanna cry
Pat Pong ladies never fail to satisfy my curious-e-Thai
No word of a lie, best I've ever had

1, 2, 3, 4, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah


15. CANNONBALL

I see the girl that I've always adored
A body like that deserves some kind of award
I imagine her naked with a towel in my lap
My own telekinesis

I'm tired of sleeping with a broken heart
Gotta get out and got to make a brand new start.

Cannonball. Cannonballin'
Cannonball. Gonna get you wet,
Wetter than a waterfall.

Cannonball has got it's hooks in me
Do it at every opportunity
Much more fun and less appropriate
I search the land for the ultimate
(and failing)

Oh preacher, teach a man at risk of demise
Evil princess put tears in my eyes

Cannonball. Cannonballin'
Cannonball. Gonna get you wet,
Wetter than a waterfall.

How dare you

Cannonball. Cannonballin'
Cannonball. Gonna get you wet,
Wetter than a waterfall.

Cannonball. Cannonballin'
Cannonball. Gonna get you wet,
Wetter than a waterfall.
