1. HERO TAKES A FALL

The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feelin' sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgement day.

It wasn't me who said
There'll be a price to pay
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no.

Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly you sight a fancy chance
Since love is at your door.

We're seeing through you now
I saw it all before
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.

Emotion is a virtue
For you, it is the one fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne and drinking,
Thinking she'll return your call.

Every story's got an ending
Look out! Here it comes, here it comes
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh woe, woe hoe.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.


2. LIVE

You know, you got it now
Is that yourself or nothing at all
Oh, you think you live
Well, how can you, you're stuck in four walls.

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.

So, you come and go
Well good day, don't waste anytime
Oh, your life today
It's all familiar, soon you will find.

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.

Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, live.

Now, do what you want
Or where you want, it's all up to you
Ooh, you like the room
It's nice to do what you wanna do.

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.

If you know by now
What life's about, go on now and live
And if you don't know how
It's not so hard, just let go and live.

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.

Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, live.


3. JAMES

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James.

It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice.

Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.

Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feelin' somewhat surprised.

You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing through.

Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.

(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down.

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore.

And now I realize
I had it all wrong
I'll only take this
Trip for so long.

Woe, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
Letting me down again, James.


4. ALL ABOUT YOU

You were so amused when I made myself available
You had to ask if it was all intentional.

Well, something's goin' on (on and on)
Something's goin' on (goin' on and on)
I am finding out all about you.

The sun is hiding and the car is running badly
I-I know only one way a friend should kiss a friend goodbye.

But, something's goin' on (on and on)
Something's goin' on (goin' on and on)
I am finding out all about you.

I'm taking it all too hard I have nothing left to fight you with
All your pretty things are merely to create the myth.

That something's goin' on (on and on)
Something's goin' on (goin' on and on)
I am finding out all about you.

Yeah, something's goin' on (on and on)
Something's goin' on (going on and on and)
I am finding out all about you.

Yeah, I am finding out all about you.


5. DOVER BEACH

If I had the time
I would run away with you
To a perfect world
We'd suspend all that is duty or required.

Late last night you cried
And I couldn't come to you
But on the other side
You and I, inseparable and walking.

Yeah, oh woe.

If we could steal away
Like jugglers and thieves
But we could come and go
Oh, and talk of Michaelangelo.

Oh woe.

If we had the time (we had the time)
We had the time.

The day you looked at me
And it was on your mind
The world is no one's dream
We will never ever find the time.

Oh woe.

If we had the time
I would run away with you
To a perfect world
(To a perfect world).


6. TELL ME

Threw away the things you loved
Now you want me to forgive you
Surprise surprise, I'm runnin' on
Yeah, I'm movin' on.

What a shock it is to see
I can walk away so easily
Isn't it funny how hard it's turned out
This time I'm movin' on.

Tell me...tell me
While I still have the time
Are ya gonna find a love
Thats truer than mine.

One, two, three abandon me
Ain't no turning back again
Well too bad, baby, this time you lose
'Cause I'm movin' on.

Tell me...tell me
While I still have the time
Are ya gonna find a love
That's truer than mine.

One, two, three abandon me
Ain't no turning back again
Well too bad, baby, this time you lose
'Cause I'm movin' on.

I'm movin' on.


7. RESTLESS

Saw your head turned a bit too far to the right now
Saw the eye go a little spark when she walks by now.

But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
I'll leave it up to you
But I won't be tested
(You feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless).

Now I'm wondering every time that you hold me
Well, should I question anything you have told me.

But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
I'll leave it up to you
But I won't be tested
(You feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless) yeah.

I remember when you and I were a nation
I could trust you in any dark situation.

But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
I'll leave it up to you
But I won't be tested
(You feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless).


8. GOING DOWN TO LIVERPOOL

Hey now...
Where you going with that load of nothing in your hand
I said: Hey now...
All through this green and pleasant land.

I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life.

Hey there...
Where you going with that UB40 in your hand
I said: Hey there...
All through this green and pleasant land.

I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life.

Hey now
Where you going with that UB40 in your hand
I said: Hey now
All through this green and pleasant land.

I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life.


9. HE'S GOT A SECRET

Oooooh
There he goes
Everybody's watchin'
Everybody knows
Somethin's goin' on
It certainly shows
When he's got a secret for you.

It's there when he walks
It's there when he smiles
He kisses your cheek
And disappears for a while
Nothin' in the world's
Gonna cramp his style
If only he could keep it from you.

Oh I, don't believe that
You haven't seen by now (seen right now)
Don't look at me
'Cause I'll never tell.

Don't ya ever wonder
Why the phone always rings (phone always rings)
Seven-thirty-one
Every evening (every evening)
Doesn't it upset you
When you call his name
And he doesn't pay attention to you.

Oh I, don't believe that
You haven't seen by now (seen right now)
Don't look at me
'Cause I'll never tell.

Don't know the places he goes
Don't know the people he knows
Don't you understand
It's out of your hands.

Oh I, don't believe that
You haven't seen by now (seen right now)
Don't look at me
'Cause I'll never tell.


10. SILENT TREATMENT

Told her you'd forget
It hasn't happened yet
Oh oh oh, you want to know.

She said nothing
Nothing, nothing
She said nothing
You'd wanna hear right now.

What goes through your head
Better left unsaid, yeah
Oh oh oh, you want to know.

She says nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You'd got to hear right now.

Nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now.

Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now.

Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now, yeah now.


11. MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

He's got a slow, slow ride
Got a camera inside
He takes a picture
Hangs it up to dry.

And there's one girl named
And another disclaimed
All the time
You can't help feelin' ashamed.

Given new reasons to survive
He keeps a number of them alive
There's a warning in the sky
A stranger passing by
And there's more than meets the eye to the guy.

When you're so secure
Never feeling unsure
That's the time
To check behind your door.

'Cause there's one thing said
When another is meant
He's around
Confusing you 'til the end.

Seeing how changable you feel
Don't think this happiness is real
And it's hard to justify
The tangles you untie
There's more than meets the eye to the guy.
