1. NEXT TO YOU



I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay,
You took me over, let me find a way

I sold my house
I sold my motor, too
All I want is to be next to you
I'd rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane
You took me over,
Think I'm goin' insane

What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you

I've had a thousand girls or maybe more,
But I've never felt like this before
But I just don't know what's come over me,
You took me over, take a look at me

What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you

So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all it is is just a love affair
You took me over baby, take me there

What can I do
All I want is to be next to you.



2. SO LONELY




Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere

But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely

Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show

Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely

(guitar solo)

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely

Lonely, I'm so lonely
I feel so alone
I feel low
I feel so
Feel so low

I feel low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
I feel low, low, low
Low, I feel low

I feel low
I feel low
I feel so lonely
I feel so lonely
I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely, lone
Lonely, lone
I feel so alone, yeah

So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
(I feel so alone, I feel so alone, I feel so lonely)
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
(I feel so alone, I feel so alone, I feel so lonely)
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
(I feel so alone, I feel so alone, I feel so lonely)
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
(I feel so alone, I feel so alone, I feel so lonely)
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely
(I feel so alone, I feel so alone, I feel so lonely)
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely



3. ROXANNE


Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have you to tell just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)
Roxanne (Put on the red light)



4. HOLE IN MY LIFE


There's a hole
In my life
There's a hole
In my life

Shadow in my heart
Is tearing me apart
Or maybe it's just something
In my stars

There's a hole
In my life
There's a hole
In my life

Be a happy man
I try the best I can
Or maybe I'm just looking
For too much

There's something missing from my life
Cuts me open like a knife
It leaves me vulnerable
I have this disease
I shake like an incurable
God help me please

O, there's a hole
In my life
There's a hole
In my life



5. PEANUTS


Words and music by Sting
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
It's a subject we rarely mention
But when we do we have this little invention
By pretending they're a different world from me
I show my responsibility
One world is enough
For all of us

One world is enough
For all of us
The third world breathes our air tomorrow
We live on the time we borrow
In our world there's no time for sorrow
In their world there is no tomorrow
One world is enough
For all of us

One world is enough
For all of us
Lines are drawn upon the world
Before we get our flags unfurled
Whichever one we pick
It's just a self deluding trick
One world is enough
For all of us

One world is enough
For all of us
I don't want to bring a sour note
Remember this before you vote
We can all sink or we all float
'Cos we're all in the same big boat

One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us

It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday
One world...



6. CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU



I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't stand losing you

I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing

I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't stand losing you



7. TRUTH HITS EVERYBODY



Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold

Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death

Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, o boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone

Where you want to be
Won't you ever see

Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Now



8. BORN IN THE 50's


We were born

Born in the fifties


My mother cried

When President Kennedy died

She said it was the Communists

But I knew better


Would they drop the bomb on us

While we made love on the beach

We were the class they couldn't teach

'Cos we knew better


We were born

Born in the fifties


They screamed

When The Beatles sang

And they laughed when the king fell down the stars

O they should've known better


O we hated our aunt

Then we messed in our pants

Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV

O we should've known better


We were born

Born in the fifties


We freeze like statues on the pages of history

Living was never like this when we took all those GCE's

O you opened the door for us

And then you turned to dust

You don't understand us

So don't reprimand us

We're taking the future

We don't need no teacher

We were born

Born in the fifties




9. BE MY GIRL SALLY


Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my, be my girl


Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my, be my girl


Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my, be my girl


Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my, Be my girl


I was blue and lonely, I couldn't sleep a wink

And I could only get unconscious if I'd had to much to drink

There was somehow, something wrong somewhere

And each day seemed grey and dead

The seeds of desperation were growing in my head

I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life

Somewhere to place affection, but I didn't want a wife

And then by lucky chance I saw in a special magazine

An ad that was unusual, the like I'd never seen

"Experience something different with our new imported toy

She's loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy."

She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down

A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown

I took her to the bedroom and pumped her with some life

And later in a moment that girl became my wife

And so I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair

And when I'm feeling naughty I blow her up with air

She's cuddly and she's bouncy, she's like a rubber ball

I bounce her in the kitchen and I bounce her in the hall

And now my life is different since Sally came my way

I wake up in the morning and have her on a tray

She's everything they say she was and I wear a permanent grin

And I only have to worry in case my girl wears thin


Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my, be my girl

Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my, be my girl

Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my, be my girl
