1.Better Off Dead
Call the girls and dress up fine
Tonight i felt like suicide
Roll them dice and pour the wine
Shuffle them cards and deal them fine
Got nobody to kiss tonight
Nothing to lose but my appetite
Wanna be silly and sing and shout
Gotta get legless and fall about
Turn the music up nice and loud
Cheer me up don't bring me down
Gonna lose my job next week
Getting replaced by a silicone chip
I might have been a hero
But i chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
But right now honey i'm better off dead
I might have been a hero
But i chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
But right now honey i'm better off dead
Don't like the scenery don't like the set
Tear it all down and start again
Man keeps talking on the radio
Telling me what i don't wanna know
Radiation wars and laetrile
If tax don't get ya then cancer will
I might have been a hero
But i chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
But right now honey i'm better off dead
Better off dead better off dead
Better off dead better off dead
Better off dead better off dead
2.Passion
Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience
Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated
In the bars and the cafes, passion
In the streets and the alleys, passion
A lot of pretending, passion
Everybody searching, passion
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Passion, passion
Passion, passion
New York, Moscow, passion
Hong Kong, Tokyo, passion
Paris and Bangkok, passion
A lotta people ain't got, passion
Hear it in the radio, passion
Read it in the papers, passion
Hear it in the churches, passion
See it in the school yards, passion
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Once in love you're never out of danger
One hot night spent with a stranger
All you wanted was somebody to hold on to yeah
Alone in your bed at night, passion
It's half past midnight, passion
As you turn out your sidelight, passion
Something ain't right, passion
There's no passion, there's no passion
There's no passion, I need passion
You need passion, We need passion
Can't live without passion
Won't live without passion
Even the president needs passion
Everybody I know needs some passion
Some people die and kill for passion
Nobody admits they need passion
Some people are scared of passion
Yeah passion
3.Foolish Behaviour
Can i introduce myself?
I'm a man of panache and wealth
Sound in mind body soul and health
Why i wanna kill my wife?
I have this urge to take her life
Been planing for years to get rid of her
Not divorce i really do mean to kill her
She's so full of useless information and trivia
That's why i wanna kill my wife
I have a duty to take her life
Her stupid friends get right up my nose
They all wear annoyingly sensible clothes
They're all so bleeding grandiose
You know why i should kill her friends
They're all driving mercedes benz
He'll escape down into mexico
Sell the house and find a nice young girl
He'll laugh and sing and he won't work anymore
Should i string her up or strangle her in bed?
Suffocate that little venomous head
Or perhaps i'll just whip her to death
Listen do me a favor kill my wife
Do it for mankind take her life
Or should i act quite cold and deliberate
Or maybe blow out her brains with a bullet?
They'll think suicide they won't know who done it
I'm gonna kill my wife i'm really gonna take her life
He'll escape down into mexico
Go down into mexico
Sell the house and find a nice young girl
Find a nice young girl
He'll laugh and sing and he won't work no more
The moment of truth has come
I'm at the point of no return
I've got my hands locked round her throat
I'm about to kill my wife
Don't stop me now i'm gonna take her life
Too late now i'm gonna kill my wife
Can't help myself i'm gonna take her life
Telephone rang and he woke from his sleep
His wife snoring soundly next to him
It was all a very nasty dream
4.So Soon We Change
Seems like only yesterday
We were laughing like a couple of kids
Fun we had when first met
Ain't been around much since
Sharing every hour every day
Funny how time slips away
But there's no replacement baby
When the good times fade away
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we change
Oh how soon we changed
You remember casey's bar
And max fields after dark?
We were different people then
Inseparable never apart
But now the novelty is wearing thin
We spend most time arguing
It was all so easy then
It'll never be again
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
I thought i knew you inside out
But obviously i was wrong
Makes no difference what i say
We just don't get along
Face the facts it could never last
We're drifting apart real fast
I'd gladly give up everything
To start all over again
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
5.Oh God, I Wish I Was At Home Tonight
The rain poured down the wind swept avenue
On another dark wet December afternoon
All my cherished memories are of you
All my warmth and comfort stayed with you
I would have wrote you a letter
But the telephone calls are free
Cause the boys in the next apartment
Are working all day
They're a great bunch of guys
But I think they're all ****
What am I doing
Avoiding what I'm trying to say
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
With you in my arms
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Send me a naked picture
By the U.S. mail
Write a pornographic letter
You know I won't tell
Keep your legs closed tight
Keep your body under lock and key
Stay home at night
And save all the best parts for me
Yeah baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Yes I do baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight oh
I could be home in time for Christmas
If you want me to be
There's a plane leaves here at midnight
Arriving at three
But I'm a bit financially embarrased
I must admit
To tell you the truth my honey
I haven't a cent
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Tonight baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Guess I'd better ring off
Before the boys get home
My regards to all your family
And everyone at home
There's a lump comes in my throat
And a tear I can't hide
Cause I want to see you so badly
I just may die
And you know why baby
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
With the ones that I love
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Oh God I wish I was home tonight
Oh my God I wish I was home tonight
Tonight tonight
I've been hearing voices
Out on the street
They say you've found some one else
Who's really quite neat
But he doesn't move you like I do
Tell me what I wanna hear
That it just ain't true
6.Gi' Me Wings
Driving in my car there's nothing on the air
Play a song that'll ease my pain
Dj's telling me that this is what'll be
Help me i'm depressed again
My best friend disappeared with the girl i had for years
My life's going down the drain
The skies are crying everybody's lying
Oh god i'm depressed again
Give me wings i'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me
The boss is on my back i know i'm gonna crack
Looks like i'm paranoid again
Can't do nothing right see only black and white
Oh god i'm depressed again
Give me wings i'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me
How can i plan ahead with this hanging round my neck
Looks like i'm coming down again
Thought about it well analyzed myself
Yeah i'm depressed again
Give me wings i'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd
There's gotta be a place for me
I'm down i'm coming down again
I'm down looks like i'm coming down again
I'm down i'm down looks like i'm coming down again
I'm down i'm down looks like i'm **** off again
7.My Girl
Miss you babe
Miss you babe
She's everywhere i go
She's everything i know
And now i think she's finally
Touched my soul
She's heaven here on earth
Much more than i deserve
And i don't wanna
Ever let her go
I'm getting used to all her ways
Everything she says
Her smiles her frowns
Her ups and all her downs
She's every move that i make
She's every breath i take
She's got a hold on me
That i don't wanna break
I mean my girl bring her home to me
My girl can't wait for you to see
My girl means everything to me
My girl my girl
My friends keep coming round
Saying come out on the town
What's wrong you ain't the guy
We used to know
And i tell them i say
Without her by my side
I'm only half alive i love her so bad
And i don't care if it shows
I mean my girl bring her home to me
My girl means everything to me
My girl can't wait for you to see
My girl my girl my girl
At last my heart has found a home
This time i know where i belong
I mean my girl bring her home to me
My girl can't wait for you to see
My girl means everything to me
My girl i just wanna see
My girl my girl my girl my girl my girl
8.She Won't Dance With Me
All the night she dressed to kill
Fish net tights with red high heels
All the boys say she's cold as ice
I won't sleep until i'm satisfied
Keep on watchin' her across the room
Waitin' for the band to play a faster tune
I want her number but i'm scared to ask
I wanna dance and i want her ****
Want to **** her she's no relief
I don't know what's wrong with me
Dance with me she won't dance with me
Why won't she dance with me?
She won't dance with me
Dance dance dance dance with me
Why won't she dance with me?
Come on dance with me
Dance dance dance dance with me
Here she comes floatin' down the street
Synthesized eyes wearin' cellophane jeans
Practicin' the art of sexuality
My tongue gets tied when i try to speak
Got a **** honey that hurts like ****
If i don't ask her somebody else will
Dance with me don't wanna dance with you
Why won't you dance with me?
Why should i dance with you?
Dance dance dance please dance with me baby
I won't dance with you
I won't dance with you
Why should i dance with you?
I won't dance with you
9.Somebody Special
How can you say life's getting you down?
Get yourself out go along with the crowd
You're all dressed up got nowhere to go
You feel left out 'cause nobody showed
Listen babe
And when you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you somewhere
Somebody special is thinking of you
Somebody special is dreaming of you
Somebody special is longing for you
Somebody special
Magazine dreams are easy stuff
But heaven knows they ain't good enough
Picture yourself from reel to reel
And get your hands on that driving wheel
And you know what
When it's hard to satisfy
A simple simple fantasy
Somebody somewhere is on your side
Waiting for you crying
Somebody special is looking for you
Somebody special is searching for you
Somebody special is waiting for you
Somebody special
Somebody special
Somebody special
Oh so special
Somebody special
Maybe your heart's tormenting you
Why should it have any reason to?
Wipe off that negativity
Put on some positivity
And when you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you somewhere somewhere
Somebody special is dreaming of you
Somebody special is looking for you
Somebody special is waiting for you
Somebody special
Special
Somebody special
Looking for you baby
10.Say It Ain't True
Look at all the problems that we've been through
How can you tell me that there's somebody new
I don't believe that i'm hearing this
I don't really think that you're serious
Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way i've nothing left
You can take my heart but don't steal my pride
Think it over before i'm pushed aside and tell me
Say it ain't true
That's all you gotta do baby
Say it ain't true
Well i thought this one was bound to last
Together forever oh what a laugh
But it's gonna hurt when i set you free
I've been loving you too long you're a part of me
So tell me
Say it ain't true
Tell me baby
Say it ain't true
Put yourself in my place for a little while
Going out of fashion growing out of style
No one to laugh with nobody to share
No one to lean on nobody to care
Nothing left but a memory
I gave you my heart so stay with me and tell me
Say it ain't true
Say say it ain't true
(tell me baby)
Say it ain't true
(i love you baby)
Say it ain't true
(i love you baby)
Say it ain't true
(i just wanna do right by you honey)
Say it ain't true
(wouldn't do you no wrong)
Say it ain't true

14.The Wild Side Of Life(Live - Wembly 12 - 6 - 80)
You wouldn't read my letters if I wrote them
You ask me not to call you on the phone
But there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of this song
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went on back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
to the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went on back to the wild side of life
The glamour of the gay nightlife has lured you
to the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be somebody else's baby
And forget the truest love you'll ever know
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went on back to the wild side of life
15.She Won't Dance With Me(Live, San Diego, 11 - 5 - 84)
All the night she dressed to kill
Fish net tights with red high heels
All the boys say she's cold as ice
I won't sleep until i'm satisfied
Keep on watchin' her across the room
Waitin' for the band to play a faster tune
I want her number but i'm scared to ask
I wanna dance and i want her ****
Want to **** her she's no relief
I don't know what's wrong with me
Dance with me she won't dance with me
Why won't she dance with me?
She won't dance with me
Dance dance dance dance with me
Why won't she dance with me?
Come on dance with me
Dance dance dance dance with me
Here she comes floatin' down the street
Synthesized eyes wearin' cellophane jeans
Practicin' the art of sexuality
My tongue gets tied when i try to speak
Got a **** honey that hurts like ****
If i don't ask her somebody else will
Dance with me don't wanna dance with you
Why won't you dance with me?
Why should i dance with you?
Dance dance dance please dance with me baby
I won't dance with you
I won't dance with you
Why should i dance with you?
I won't dance with you
16.If Loving You Is Wrong I Don't Want To Be Right(Live, Wembly 12 - 6
- 80)
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say
Your friends tell you there's no future
in loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
knowing I got a wife and two little children
depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
for the gentleness of your touch
knowing I got somebody else at home
who needs me just as much
And are you wrong to fall in love
with a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
Are you wrong to give your love
to a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
to the best thing I ever had
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
I don't wanna be right
if it means sleeping alone at night
I don't wanna be right
if it means coming home at night
I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna never, never, never be right
