I was at the party
I was with Louise
When the party got started
I decided to give her a squeeze
She was in the bedroom
Kissing with Janine
It was the strangest sight
I have ever seen
She's in love with another girl (x3)
Not me
She told me she loved me
And that she'd never go
I believed her story
Cos I loved her so
But that night at the party
When I peeped thru the door
They had taken off all their clothes
And were writhing on the floor.

My heart's been broken again
Cos my girl has let me down
I thought she was my friend
Now I've found she's let me down
She went away on a holiday
Won't be back till the end of May
She's gone off to see the world
My oh my I miss that girl
Just because I loved her so
I stayed home to save some dough
I was blind I couldn't see
I loved her but she didn't love me
I got a letter yesterday
She said she'd met a boy called Dave
And that they were living together
Now I know I'll never forgive her

When I was a boy, the girls all called me names.
Now that I am grown, everything is still the same.
Baby we were so in love,
We couldn’t get enough;
Then you walked off in a huff;
Why is it always so tough?
I’m gonna find myself another woman;
One that wants to love me every night.
I’m gonna find myself another woman,
One that doesn’t want to start a fight.
We were so in love, you were everything to me.
Now that we’re apart, my life is misery
Tell me baby, now where are you?
I miss the things we used to do
Now I never,never see you.
What am I gonna do?

He's always pinching my clothes
Sits on the bed and picks his toes
He won't let me have a go
On his CB radio
My brother gets on my nerves (x3)
I'm gonna beat him up some day
Hey hey hey
He always gets his way
When he wants to watch Match of the Day
He makes me see red
One day soon I'm gonna punch his head
I'm gonna beat my brother up someday
He's always getting in my way
One day I'm gonna make him pay
I'm gonna beat my brother up someday

When I see her in the street
She makes my heart stand still
She always looks so sweet
She makes my heart stand still
I wanna squeeze her tight
She makes my heart stand still
I dream about her every night
She makes my heart stand still
She's the girl that makes my heart stand still
I know I love her and I always will
She's the one that gives me a thrill
She's the girl that makes my heart stand still
Oh yeah
I know that she's the one, the only one for me
If I can't have her love there's nothing left for me
I went up to ask her out
She makes my heart stand still
But then I chickened out
She makes my heart stand still
Maybe I was being shy
She makes my heart stand still
I'm so scared I'll be denied
She makes my heart stand still

My Baby's Got X-Ray Eyes
03:44
|
|||
|
Well I see you every day at work
But by now you must think I'm a berk
You keep giving me the eye
But I always act so shy
It's not that I don't fancy you
But I just can't let myself love you
My baby's got x-ray eyes
She can see right thru me
It's no good me telling lies
She knows what the truth is
Oh you're such a little temptress
Asking me if I like your new dress
I would love to squeeze you tight
and take you home with me tonite
All the things that we could do
But I know I couldn't see it thru
I would really like to take you out
But I know my girl would suss me ouit
I'd like to feel your behind
But my girl would read my mind
If I did go out with you
She wouild know just what I was up to

Oh those blonde girls
They thrill me so
Oh those blonde girls
They turn me on
Where ever I go
Those blonde girls oh
They thrill me so
They turn me on
Oh those blonde girls
Those naughty blonde girls
Oh those blonde girls
Thiose sexy blonde girls
Don't like the redheads
Don't like the brunettes
Just like the blonde girls
I can't help myself
Oh those blonde girls
They thrill me so
They turn me on
Those naughty blonde girls
Come home with me

Nothing I Can Do
02:16
|
|||
|
You won’t lose no sleep tonight, when I’m not with you.
I just can’t understand what I’m going through.
When I call you on the phone, you just won’t speak to me.
Must I be all alone, is this what’s meant to be?
Is there nothing I can do, to get back in love with you?
Not a thing I can do, oh no.
I sent you cards and flowers, and all the other stuff.
You threw them in the bin, and told me to piss off.
I could have loved you, babe, forever and a day,
But you don’t understand; why must it be this way?

He's a Creep
02:24
|
|||
|
I just saw you in the bar, with a new boy on your arm.
Did something fall on your head and do your brain some harm?
I didn’t know what to say,
But you’re gonna find out anyway,
He’s a creep; he gets on my wick.
He’s a creep; he makes me feel sick.
He’s a creep, take my word.
He’s a creep, a wimp and a nerd.
Now that you are not with me, I see you’ve paid the price,
Driving around with your new boy, in his car with its furry dice.
I thought you had good taste,
But all your loving has gone to waste.
He’s a creep; he gets on my wick.
He’s a creep; he makes me feel sick.
He’s a creep, take my word.
He’s a creep, a wimp and a nerd.
When I heard about your new love, you know it made me sad.
Now that I have seen the boy, it just makes me feel mad.
I wasn’t gonna start a fight,
But now I think that I just might.
He’s a creep; he makes me feel sick.
He’s a creep, he looks like a prick.
He’s a creep, a wimp and a nerd.
He’s a creep, a silly old turd.

One more of your sweet kisses
Tell me you love me and hold me tight
One more of your kisses
One more kiss before you say goodnight
Give me one more of your sweet kisses
You know they make the world seem right
One more of those kisses
One more kiss before you say goodnight
When you kiss me that way
You take my breath away
With your kiss of fire
You know you are my heart's desire
One more of your sweet kisses
Tell me you love me and hold me tight
One more of your kisses
One more kiss before you say goodnight
With your kiss so sweet
Youb make my life complete
The onlt time that I feel low
Is when you say it's time to go
One more of your sweet kisses
you know you are my heart's delight
Ooh those sweet slow kisses
One more kiss before you say goodnight

I work hard throughout the day
I have to do it to earn my pay
I wish there was another way
Sometimes I feel just like a slave
I don't wanna go to work no more (x2)
I'm fed up with the factory floor
I don't wanna go to work no more
I work hard from 8 till 5
I have to do it in order to survive
I don't reaaly have a choice
Someone's gotta pay for the bosses Rolls Royce
I don't wanna go to work no more (x2)
I'm sick and tired of working in the store
I don't wanna go to work no more
I have to do what I am told
Making the products so they can be sold
I don't like it cos the foreman is a berk
I, I, I, I don't wanna go to work
They say the firm is making a loss
I'm not surprised, it's obvious
All the profit goes straight to the boss
and that's what really makes me cross

Life of Crime
02:24

|
I can't afford to go to the pub anymore
everytime I buy a drink it costs a little bit more
there's no happiness for me
I'm gonna take up burglary
I'm gonna start a life of crime
I don't care about doing time
I'm gonna start a life of crime oh yeah
I can't afford to fill up my petrol tank
I'm gonna go out and rob a bank
I'm not smoking anymore
I'm fed up with being poor
/I keep getting bills that I can't pay
I'm gonna have to get some money some way
I am fed up to the teeth
I'm gonna learn to be a thief

Baby let's be happy tonite
We don't really have to fight
I just wanna be content
Don't wanna start an argument
You and me, girl we're always fighting
Can't you see it's tearing us apart?
I love you, now do you want it in writing?
Let's make up girl please don't break my heart
Well it's clear that we disagree girl
Have no fear, we're not the only ones
There's no need to sit in misery girl
Let's go out and try to have some fun

When we first split I didn't know what to do
I just stayed home and dreamed about you
I kept wishing I could go back in time
At least that way you'd still be mine
I'm not living in the past no more
I've stopped dreaming about you
You said that you really loved me
I was so blind I couldn't see
You could never love anyone else
Cos you're too busy loving yourself
Now you say you want me back
But I'm fed up with all your crap
I remember how it used to be
Now I'm back to reality

Jailbait
02:12
|

|
Here she comes now, she's so cute
I wanna see her in her birthday suit
Only 15 but she looks 21
I keep thinking she's the one
But there's something that makes me sad
I'm old enough to be her dad
I know that this feeling's wrong
But I can't stop it, it's too strong
She's jailbait
She doesn't know what she's doing to me
When she comes round to watch TV
Her long long legs and flashing eyes
Makes my blood start to rise
When she says she's gotta go home
Then I gotta go to bed on my own
Makes me think it must be time
That me and her committed the crime
She's jailbait

Girls always get on my nerves
With their beautiful curves
They are so lovely
I am so ugly
They always get me down
Whenever they're around
They won't let me near
Cos I got a cauliflower ear
Girls always get on my nerves
With their beautiful curves
Whenever they walk by
I always get so shy
Girls always get on my nerves
With their beautiful curves
They won't let me near
Cos I got a cauliflower ear
