Nylons( The Nylons ) One Size Fits All歌詞
1.Bop Til You Drop

Mama said on the day i was born
There was a whole lotta shakin' goin' on
There was a party next door the people callin' out for more
And they played the boogie all night long
I was raised on a beat that was oh so sweet
Fed on the rhythm and blues
When she sent me on my way i heard my mama say
Son, don't forget your dancin' shoes

Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance
(repeat)

When you're down at a party and the music's hot
And you see somebody that you like a lot
Don't fight the feelin' if the feelin's right
Take a chance and dance 'cause tonight's the night
We'll do it right

Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance dance
(repeat)
Bop, bop, bop
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, da-da-dance

Back in 57 i was just a little boy
And my sister jenny sue, she was the queen of the hop
After school she'd be stackin' up her 45's
Practising her shimmy shimmy koko bop
She had to do it right 'cause come on saturday night
She was the hot girl on the floor
Mama'd catch her in the kitchen but instead of doing dishes
She'd be brushin' up her boogie on the 'frigerator door

Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance dance
(repeat)
Bop, bop, bop
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance, come on and dance, dance
Da-da-dance, come on and dance, dance
Da-da-dance

Ah when it's come-a come-a doo down down pretty baby
And the music starts movin' and it's drivin' you crazy
Don't get caught just-a hangin' around
'cause you gotta get up if you wanna get down
Get up, get up, get down down down

Come on and dance, dance
Don't it make you wanna get up and dance
Bop, bop, bop
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance
Bop 'til you drop
Shake it 'til you break it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance

Bop, bop, bop
Come on, come on, come on
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Move it 'til you lose it
Move it 'til you lose it
Move it 'til you lose it
Dance, dance, da-da-dance
Come on and dance, dance, da-da-dance
Come on and dance, dance, da-da-dance


2.Heavenly Bodies

I can't understand this feeling i get
When you roll your pretty eyes that way
But i thank my lucky stars i guess you still like what you see

My poor poor heart's got nowhere to go
You looked at me and that's all i know
Got my head in the clouds at the thought of you loving me

Take a walk with the angels they watch you go by
Any heavenly body would fall for a devil like you

Make it a new day, do it all night
When the music is playing and you're holding me tight
I don't need anything but you to make me feel free

When i'm under the power of your persuasive charms
I've got everything i need in your arms
I don't want nobody but you to be loving me

Take a walk with the angels they watch you go by, yeah
Any heavenly body would fall for a devil like you

No need to run, no need to roam
Move it over mama 'cause i found me a home
You've got what it takes to make life sweet as can be
Can't you see
I can't get enough of the way you keep loving me

Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly

Any heavenly body would fall for a devil like you


3.Please

Please, don't leave this way
There's still so much to say
And we could always talk together
Swallow your pride and sit down
Smooth away that frown
If we must part let's leave as friends

We were such a happy go-lucky pair
All the dreams we shared
I can't believe it's true, after all that we've been through
Please don't go
One thing i'm certain of, i have no doubt
People need each other, that's what life's about
And oh, if we can try then baby by and by
We can work it out

Please let down your guard
Life can be so hard
And we could always help each other
You've got no reason to cry
This is not goodbye
For i will always love you

My love is an open book
If you take a look you can read between the lines
I smile and say 'i'm doing fine'
Please don't go
Don't you know, baby if you go
A part of me will never be the same no more
Turn around, let's try it
Just one more time

Please don't leave me this way
There's still so much to say
And we could always talk together
You've got no reason to cry
This is not goodbye
For i will always love you
Don't you know i care

Care about you yes i do baby / i'm still your friend
What we have to share
Share a dream now there's no end / can never end
We were such a happy go-lucky pair
All the dreams we shared
I can't believe it's true
After all that we've been through
Please don't go
One thing i'm certain of, i have no doubt
People need each other, that's what life's about
And oh, if we can try then baby by and by
We can work it out

Darling please / whoa please


4.Prince Of Darkness

Be gone, prince of darkness
Be gone, prince of darkness
You have no power
You have no power
Be gone
Be gone

I woke from a dream to a rumble of thunder
Not heard but perceived from within
A feeling inside that just can't be denied
Says the countdown is soon to begin

But in the darkest hour the human spirit
Sings ancient songs to me
The tyrants will gather to worship their master
But he will be brought to his knees

Chorus:
Be gone, prince of darkness
You have no power here
Be gone, prince of darkness
You have no power here
You have no power, you have no power here
You have no power, you have no power here
Be gone

We speak with the voice of ten million souls crying
This war that you make is not ours
You sit at the left hand of those who are lying
Seducing with hypnotic powers
But now your stone cold heart has started rumbling
A song has risen free
And we shall not stop with the laughter and singing
'til you have been swept to the sea

Chorus

We run with the spirit that moves through the city
The heart of the jungle is whole
The seekers of truth with the hot blood of youth
Together we're never alone
When every heart has finally found the courage
To love with all its might
The chains will be broken, the doors will burst open
And we shall know the power of the night

Chorus


5.Romance(If I Can Get It)

Romance
I'll take romance if i can get it
Give me just one night, you won't regret it
This old world's not ready for me
'cause i live inside of my fantasy

Romance
I'll take romance 'cause it's essential
It's the quintessential element
L o v e and i'm ready for me
'cause i live inside of my fantasy

Romance, i know it sounds old-fashioned
But the fashion is a passion with me
By chance of falling in love
I love the feeling passionately

Cockeyed and half the way to heaven
Since she said she'd meet me at 11
This old world's not ready for me
'cause i live inside of my fantasy

Well, well, well
'cause i live inside of my fantasy

Romance, i know it sounds old-fashioned
But the fashion is a passion with me
By chance of falling in love
I love the feeling passionately

I'll take romance if i can get it
Give me just one night, you won't regret it
This old world's not ready for me
'cause i live inside of my fantasy

6.Silhouettes

Took a walk and passed your house late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight
From within the dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
Oh what a lovely couple they made

Put his arms around your waist, held you tight
Kisses i could almost taste in the night
I wondered why i'm not the guy whose silhouette's on the shade
I couldn't hide those tears in my eyes

Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes, oh
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes, oh

Lost control and rang your bell, i was sore
Let me in or else i'll beat down your door
When two strangers who had been two silhouettes on the shade
Said to my shock 'you're on the wrong block'

Ran down to your house with wings on my feet
Loved you like i'd never loved you my sweet
Vowed that you and i would be two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days two silhouettes on the shade

Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes, oh
Silhouettes, silhouettes, silhouettes, oh
Two silhouettes on the shade


7.So Long

So long
You don't know where i'm going
So long
You know you done me wrong
So long
'cause i know i'm all gone

Goodbye
You need to tell me why
Goodbye
You always make me cry
Oh why
Why you never satisfied

Packing my bag and heading out
Don't know where or what about
Taking a long forgotten trip
Don't know why i let it slip
Well the way the world is now
I don't want to start a row
Baby you won't believe in love
Wrote you some letters
Oh, take care of yourself
I'll be checking in, oh later

So long
I'm all packed up and on my way
So long
You need me some old sunny day
So long
This time i'm goin', goin' to stay

Goodbye, bye bye baby
I ain't gonna be comin' home
Don't you know i'm gone
Bye bye, bye bye...


8.That Kind Of Man

People say i'm a happy go-lucky guy
When the music and wine start to flow
I go to discos and gay cabarets
Unable to let myself go

Some people live to be the life of the party
Lampshade hat and they're away to the races
So many people loving so many lovers
Takin' everybody to some strangers place

Don't get me wrong i've had my share of affairs
I've had some hot nights singin' one night stands
But right up front i think it's only fair
To tell you i've got different plans

Chorus:
That's not the way i am
I'm not that kind of man
It's not that i am shy
I'm just not that kind of guy
So if you feel the same
You're tired of playing games
Then try to understand
That i'm not that kind of man

A lot of people take their loving too lightly
They change emotions like they're changing their clothes
They come alive and thrive on new lovers nightly
How they do it i don't know, 'cause

Chorus

If you see him standing on the edge of the action
You think he's only playing it cool
He's only looking for a little sweet satisfaction
I'm tired of being somebody's fool

So if you spot me on the fringe of the party
Holding up the walls with hot and hungry eyes
Don't be afraid to say hello to a stranger
You just might like your surprise

Chorus


9.Town Without Pity

When you're young and so in love as we
And bewildered by the world we see
Why do people hurt us so
Only those in love will know
What a town without pity can do

If we stop to gaze upon a star
People talk about how bad we are
Ours is not an easy age
We're like tigers in a cage
What a town without pity can do

The young have problems, many problems
They need an understanding heart
Why don't they help us, try and help us
Before this grey and granite planet falls apart

Take these eager lips and hold me fast
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When those little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do

Take these eager lips and hold me fast
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When those little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do

No it isn't very pretty
What a town without pity can do
Whoa, can do


10.Up The Ladder To The Roof

Come with me, come with me
And we shall run across the sky
Illuminate the night
Oh, i will try and guide you
To better times and brighter days
Don't be afraid to go...

Chorus:
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Up the ladder to the roof
We can be closer to heaven

Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me
And we shall let expression ring
Hear freedom in our singin'
Whoa, memories of broken dreams
Don't you know, don't you know
They'll all fade away
If you go...

Chorus

Relax, i'll tell you the story of love
How it is, the happiness in it baby
We'll combine our thoughts and together we'll travel
To the fountain of loveliness
I will never never ever leave you alone to wander honey
If you go along our love is gonna grow much stronger, so much
stronger
Don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go, don't you wanna go,
don't you wanna go...

Chorus

Whoa, up the, up the, up the, up the ladder to heaven
Come on and go up the ladder to heaven
Come on and go up the ladder to heaven
