1. DUM DUM GIRL

Dum the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl
The dum dum girl

The dum dum girl
The dum dum girl
The dum dum girl
The dum dum girl
Another sigh with no regret
More coins inside her hands.
One time to own respect
Now mercenary she stands.
I'm no boy stealing pennies from the poor

Break it down canY you see she's.
Dum the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl
The dum dum girl

Another hand up on her hair
Time probably erased.
Distate and so he's leff where guilt is out of place.
I'm no boy stealing pennies from the poor

Dum the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl
The dum dum girl

I'm no boy stealing pennies from the poor

Dum the dum dum girl
The dum dum girl
The dum dum girl


2. SUCH A SHAME

Such a shame to believe in escape
'A life on every face'
And that's a change
Till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame

The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, 'I don't care'
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame

Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
It's a shame
Such a shame
Write it across my name
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change

Such a shame


3. RENEE

Well baby how the weeks fade
Baby was the best part of your youth a sensation
Yeah,
That's a change
I never thought I'd end up fooling you

D'you hear what they say?
All these people living up in our street, well they say
"Out of touch, she lives in faded dreams"

Renée
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change

And maybe when the cheat plays
Maybe when the ace
Falls from his suit
And he tells you
"Yeah that's the game.
I didn't want to lose it on the two"
You're playing his way, but the prize that you've been losing was youth
And I say
"Throw the ace, and face up to the truth"

Renée
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change
Renée
But baby as the weeks fade

Renée
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change

Renée
But baby as the weeks fade, and we've seen quite a few,
I don't know who's fooling who

I'm fooling you


4. IT'S MY LIFE

Funny how I find myself
In love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I would pay to lose
One half won't do

I've asked myself how much do you
Commit yourself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose

I would tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

I would ask myself how much do you
Commit yourself

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends


5. TOMORROW STARTED

Don't look back until you try a line so openly a lie, so openly alive
"Outside of you, it's just tomorrow starting"

I've said I'm wrong when I've been right.
I've seen times when
I've been sure but still I find I'm just the first that you take are
There reasons everybody pays? They never seem to be any use.

Don't look back until you've tried. With time you'll endlessly arrive
Outside of use, with just tomorrow starting

See my eyes tell me I'm not lying.
I'm just the first that you take are there reasons everybody pays?

They never seem to be any use
It's just tomorrow starting


6. THE LAST TIME

One by one
Every courtesy is gone
And the show begins
Bring on the clowns
Pain is quiet
I've laughed at silence
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time

Sometimes one,
Sometimes each of us is wrong
But the show begins
Bring on the clowns
Blind to reason
These eyes are dreaming
For the last time
Let the show begin
For the last time
Let the show begin

Bring on the clowns
Smiling sweetly
Doubt may leave me
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time
Let the show begin

Let the show begin
For the last time,
For the last time

Let the show begin
For the last time,
For the last time

For the last time,
For the last time,
For the last time


7. CALL IN THE NIGHT BOY

Say goodnight
Every hour brings
The morning of my life
Out of time
Every step I take
Is further down the line

Here I stand left behind
My eyes open wide
If you need me you should try
Calling the night boy

Call in
Call in the night boy

Say goodnight
Every hour brings
The morning of my life
Out of tune
Every breath I take
I take it over you

I don't care
What people say
I don't care
Night is Day
I'll remember if you say

Call in the night boy
Call in
Call in the night boy
Call in

Here I stand left behind
My eyes are open wide
If you need me you should try
Calling the night boy
Call in
Call in the night boy
Call in
Call in the night boy,
Calling the night boy,
Calling the night boy,
Call in
Call in the night boy
Call in


8. DOES CAROLINE KNOW?

Maybe when the heat's away
You're fine.
To put another drink away
Is out of line. (out of line)
It's so easy with a thief to blame
For breaking every pledge I've made.
Does it matter
If I can't say Caroline knows?

Every little accident takes time.
Forget about mistakes I've made
They're left behind, (they're left behind)
It's so easy with a thief to blame
For breaking every pledge I've made.
Does it matter
If I can't say Caroline knows?


So easy with a thief to blame
For breaking every pledge I've made.
Does it matter
If I can't say
Does it matter
If I can't say Caroline knows?


9. IT'S YOU

Say it again
Heart of stone
Red on your face
So alone
Say it again
I'll know it's you
God only knows
Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Time is waiting to explain,
Why refuse?
It's you

Say it again
Heart of sand
Tears on your face
Nothing stands
God only knows
I've noticed you
Say it again
Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Time is waiting to explain,
Why refuse?
It's you

It's you,
It's you,
It's you

Say it again
I know It's you
God only knows
Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Tired of waiting to explain.
Why refuse?
It's you

It's you,
It's you,
It's you
