Private Life (C. Hynde)J'ai les glands with your theatrics,
Your acting's a drag,
It's ok on TV, but you can turn it off,Your marriage is a tragedy,
But it's not my concern,
I'm very superficial I hate everything official,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2)Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death,
You've made a deaperate appeal, now save your breath,
Attachment to obligation, through guilt and regret, shit thats so wetAnd your sex life complications are not my facinations,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh!You asked my advice I say use the door,
But your still clinging to somebody you deplore,
And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail,
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry,Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh!
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x8)Love Is The Drug (A. MacKay / B.Ferry)
Tīainīt no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
Tīainīt no big thing,
The toll of the bell,
Aggravated - spare for days,
Stroll downtown the red light place,
Jump up bubble up - whatīs in store,
Love is the drug and I need to score,Showing out, showing out, hit and run,
Boy meets girl and the beat goes on,
Stitched up tight, canīt shake free,
Love is the drug, got a hook on me,Oh oh catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that Iīm thinking of,
Yeah, canīt you see?
Love is the drug for me,Tīainīt no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
Tīainīt no big thing,
The toll of the bell,Late that night I park my car,
Stake my place in the singles bar,
Face to face, toe to toe,
Heart to heart as we hit the floor,Lumber up, limbo down,
The locked embrace, the stumble round,
I say go, he say yes,
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest,Yeah, catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that Iīm thinking of,
Yeah, canīt you see?
Love is the drug for me,Tīainīt no big thing,
To wait for the bell to ring,
Ainīt no big thing,
The toll of the bell,
Aggravated - spare for days,
Stroll downtown the red light place,
Jump up bubble up - whatīs in store,
Love is the drug and I need to score,Showing out, showing out, hit and run,
Boy meets girl and the beat goes on,
Stitched up tight, canīt shake free,
Love is the drug, got a hook on me,Oh oh catch that buzz,
Love is the drug that Iīm thinking of,
Oh oh, canīt you see?
Love is the drug for me,Yeah, catch that buzz,

Breakdown (T. Petty)
It's all right if you love me,
It's all right if you don't,

Warm Leatherette (D. Miller)
Warm Leatherette,
See the breaking glass,
Beneath the underpass.Warm Leatherette,
Feel the crushing steel,
Feel the steering wheel.Warm Leatherette melts,
On your burning flesh,
You can see your reflection,
On the luminescent dash.Warm Leatherette,
A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
The hand brake,
Penetrates your thigh.A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
Quick let's make love,
Before we die.On Warm Leatherette,
Join the carcrash set.The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game (W. Robinson)
Every day brings change,
And the world puts on a new face,
Certain things rearange,
And the world seems like a new place.Secretly I've been trailing you,
Like a Fox that preys on a Rabbit,
I had to get you, and so I knew,
I had to learn all your ways and all your habbits.You're the catch that I was after,
I looked up and I was in yout arms,
And I know I was captured.What's this whole world coming to,
Things just ain't the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.I had laid such a tender trap,
Hoping you might fall into it,
But love hit me with a sudden slap,
Just one of your kisses and baby I knew it.My plan did'nt work out like I thought,
I had laid my trap for you,
But it seems, baby, I got caught.What's this whole world coming to,
Things just ain't the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.You're the catch that I was after,
I looked up and I was in yout arms,
And I know I was captured.What's this whole world coming to,
Things just ain't the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.(?)
You're the catch that I was after,
I looked up and I was in yout arms,
And I know I was captured.What's this whole world coming to,
Things just ain't the same,
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game.I've Done It Again (B. Reynolds / Faithfull)
I was on the first ship to Peru,
Charted all the courses like all sailors do,
First to cross the [?] in [?],
Oversea in wetbacks for good californian wine.And I've done it again, done it again, done it again,
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again.I was there when Jan and Liford sang,
First to feel the cold Alaskan white man,
First to take a trip on LSD,
First to vote for Roosevelt back in '33.And I've done it again, done it again, done it again,
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again.Yes Ive seen it, yes Ive seen it,
And if your feeling great I feel it.And I've done it again, done it again, done it again,
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again.And I've done it again, done it again, done it again,
And I've done it again, done it again, done it again.Pars (J. Higelin)
Alors pars, et surtout ne te retourne pas!

Driving down those city streets,

Somewhere in this town?Now in the parking lot garage,
You'll find the proper place,
Just follow all the written rules,
You'll fit into the space.Pull up to my bumper baby,
In your long black limosine,
Pull up to my bumper baby,
And drive it in between.Pull up, to it, don't drive, through it,
Back it, up twice, now that, fit's nice.Operate around the clock,
Why don't you come in?

Shiny sleek machine believe,
It I've got to blow your horn.Pull up to my bumper baby,
In your long black limosine,

Walking In The Rain (H. Vanda / G. Young)Walking down the street,
Kicking cans,
Looking at the billboards,
(?)
Summing up the people,
Checking out the race,
Doing what I'm doing,
Feeling out of place,Walking, walking,
In the rain.Feeling like a woman,
Looking like a man,
Sounding like a no-no,
Mating when I can,
Whistling in the darkness,
Shining in the night,
Coming to conclusions,
Right is night is tight,Walking, walking,
In the rain.Come in all you jesters,
Enter all you fools,
Sit down no-no's,
Vulgar fools,
Trip the light fantastic,
Dance the swivel hips,
Coming to conclusions,
Button up your lips,Walking, walking,
In the rain.Cry Now Laugh Later (G. Jones / B. Reynolds)
Cry now, Laugh later.
It's time now to return the favor,
Cry now, laugh laugh later.I dont know why I'm laughing,
I'm still wet from the rain,
I dont know why I'm laughing,
I'm still spotted from the stain.I dont know why I'm laughing,
I'm burning from the flame,
I dont know why I'm laughing,
Theres a storm running through my veins.Cry now, laugh later,
Cry now, laugh later,
Sign out, I'll see you later,
Time now to return the favor.You know I aint lying,
Its so unreal on the other side,
I'll tell you why I'm crying,
Dad's ten grand on a 4 wheel drive,
I thought they wanted money,
Two thieves as they were passing by,
They tied me up so lonely,
And took the car out from under my eyes.Cry now, laugh later,
Cry now, I'll get you later,
I'm just too tired now to return the favor,
Cry now laugh later.I dont know why I'm laughing,
Immigration breathing down my back,
Aint got no money for a pay off,
Stay in jail until they send me back,
I dont know why I'm laughing,
I'm still hurting from the pain,
A foreigner in this hell hole,
He aint never gunna touch me again.Cry now, laugh later,
It's time now to return the favor,
You'e got me crying now,
I'll laugh at you later,
Time now to return the favor.I dont know why I'm laughing,

I dont know why I'm laughing,
I've got the storm running through my veins.Cry now, laugh later,
Baby got to sign out return later,
Just too tired now to return the favor.Cry now, laugh later...
Nightclubbing (I. Pop / D. Bowie)
Louder, can you hear me?
Nightclubbing, nightclubbing,
We're what's happening,

We're an ice machine,
We see people brand new people,
They're something to see,
We're nightclubbing,
Bright-white clubbing,
Oh isn't it wild?Nightclubbing, nightclubbing,
We're walking through town,

Colour and warmth came into your world,
It makes me crazy,
When you don't get what you want,
You scream and you shout,
You're still a baby.Don't give me a line,
Keep the lid on the bottle this time,
I'm still a lady,
I won't do it tonight,
I won't do it tonight,
No way baby,
I won't give in and I won't feel guilty.Rant and rave to manipulate me,
From the nipple to the bottle,
Never satisfied,
From the nipple to the bottle,
Now the cow must die.Power and wealth surrendering myself,
It ain't easy,
Embarassing my store by opening up my door,
When it's breezy.You showed me your force,
Exaggerated stamina and energy,
No place for that,
No place for that,
It's not that easy.Rant and rave to manipulate me,
From the nipple to the bottle,
Never satisfied,
From the nipple to the bottle,
Now the cow must die.You ain't gon get it, I ain't gon give it,
You ain't gon get it, I ain't gon give it.Colour and warmth came into your world,
It makes me crazy,

Strange, I've seen that face before,
Seen him hanging 'round my door,
Like a hawk stealing for the pray,
Like the night waiting for the day,Strange, he shadows me back home,
Footsteps echo on the stones,
Rainy nights, an hustling boulevard,
Parisian music, drifting from the bars,Tu cherche toi, recontrer le mort,
Tu depend pour qui, toi aussi tu deteste la vie,Dance in bars and restaurants,
Home with anyone who wants,
Strange he's standing alone,
Staring eyes chill me to the bone.Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise, un regard (?),
(?), sans regret, sans meilleur, la porte est (?),
Joel est (?).Demolition Man (Sting)
Tied to the tracks and the train's just coming,
Strapped to the wing with the engine running,
You say that this wasn't in your plan,
Don't mess around with the demolition man,Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking,
This situation was not of your picking,
You say that this wasn't in your plan,
Don't mess around with the demolition man,I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom,
I kill conversation as I walk into the room,
I'm a three line whip,
I'm the sort of thing they ban,
I'm a walking disaster,
I'm a demolition man,I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom,
I kill conversation as I walk into the room,
I'm a three line whip,
I'm the sort of thing they ban,
I'm a walking disaster,
I'm a demolition man,You come to me like a moth to the flame,
It's love you need but I don't play that game,
You kept on coming you should have ran,
I'm nobody's friend,
I'm a demolition man,I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom,
I kill conversation as I walk into the room,
I'm a three line whip,
I'm the sort of thing they ban,
I'm a walking disaster,
I'm a demolition man,
Demolition man...Unlimited Capacity For Love (G. Jones / B. Reynolds)
The end's not in sight, it's gone way too far,
This could turn our another unwinning war,
It wasn't inherited, certainly not a joke,
So many human hearts, hanging in hope,
Unlimited capacity for love,
Unlimited capacity for love.And now I must add another to love in my life,
It's one thing to say, to do is another,
If Im capable of adapting without pressured expense,
In a schizoid society in a classic moral sense,
Unlimited capacity for love,
Umlimited capacity for love.How young I am now, stop counting the weeks,
We're safe from the vois, where they're still counting sheep,
Put the phone to the floor, you'll hear my heart beat,
Some people get married, but I'll never chat,
Unlimited capacity for love,
Unlimited capacity for love.The end's not in sight, it's gone way too far,
This could turn our another unwinning war,
It wasn't inherited, certainly not a joke,
So many human hearts, hanging in hope,
Unlimited capacity for love. (repeat, fade)Ring Of Fire (M. Kilgore / J. Carter)
Love is a burning thing,
It makes a firey ring,
Bound by wild desire,
I fell in a ring of fire,
I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher,
I burned, burned, burned,
A ring of fire, a ring of fire,The taste of love is sweet,
And hearts like ours meet,
I fell for you just like a child,
And oh, the fire went wild,I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher,
And burned, burned, burned,
A ring of fire, a ring of fire,I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher,
And burned, burned, burned,
A ring of fire,
A ring of fire,The taste of love is sweet,
And hearts like ours meet,
I fell for you just like a child,
And oh, the fire went wild,I fell into a burning ring of fire,
I went down, down, down and the flames went higher,
And burned, burned, burned,
A ring of fire. (Repeat, fade)
Man Around The House (G. Jones / B. Reynolds)
Not a violent person, even heavens do get scared,
Lightning strikes around my heart, somethings coming near,
Never loved a soldier-man in a mail-man uniform,
Catch a burglar in my arms, has tipped off my alarm.Man around the house,
Man around the house.Listen to the music, to distract me from my fears,
Then I feel a sudden rush, and the lights dissapear,
Never loved a fisher-man in a police uniform,
Catch a burglar in my arms, has tipped off my alarm.Man around the house,
Man around the house.Like a reacurring dream, thats goin' round my head,
Guess I need security, when I'm sleepin' in my bed,
Never loved a fisher-man in a mail-man uniform,
Catch a burglar in my arms, has tipped off my alarm.Man around the house, be a perfect solution,
Man around the house, he aint' my husband.Call the police,
Your'e bigger than I am, shit,
The telephone, call the God-damn police,
What'd ya' mean your'e scared?
I'm scared too, I'm not goin' down there!
Uh-uh, I'm stayin' right here,I'm gonna lock my door,
Don't turn on the lights, God, don't turn on the lights!
He might see us, you can't go out there with no clothes on,
Are you crazy, put some clothes on, don't be a fool, coward!
I'm not scared, he's not gonna' catch me in here without any clothes on,
I'm gonna put on my clothes, do you have a flash light?
Where's the flash light? Turn the lights on, I need a flash light,
He's tryin' the back door, sshhh!
Living My Life (G. Jones)
Cuss me, cuss me,
Cuss me for living,
Cuss me for living my life,Leave me, leave me,
Leave me, leave me for living,
Leave me for living my life,Living my life, living my life,
Living my life, living my life,
Hard as I can, as much as I can,
As long as I can, as black as I am,
I'm living my life, living my life,
Living my life living my life,Box me,box me, box me for living,
Box me for living my life,
Kill me, kill me, kill me for living,
Kill me for living my life,
Hate me, you hate me, you hate me for living,
Hate me for living my life,Living my life, living my life,
Living my life, living my life,
Hard as I can, as much as I can,
As long as I can, as long as I am,You just blame me for living my life,
Brainwash me, brainwash me,
You brain wash me for living,
You brainwash me for living my life,
You cannot stand me, you cannot,
Stand me, you can't stand me!
Slave To The Rhythm (B. Wooley / S. Darlow / S. Lipson / T. Horn)
Work all day, as men who know,
Wheels must turn to keep, to keep the flow,
Build on up, don't break the chain,
Sparks will fly, when the whistle blows,
Never stop the action,
Keep it up, keep it up,
Work to the rhythm,
Live to the rhythm,
Love to the rhythm,
Slave to the rhythm,
Axe to wood, in ancient time,
Man machine, power line,
Fires burn, heart beats strong,
Sing out loud, the chain gang song,
Never stop the action,
Keep it up, keep it up,
Breath to the rhythm,
Dance to the rhythm,
Work to the rhythm,
Live to the rhythm,
Love to the rhythm,
Slave to the rhythm.
