Lyrics

1. EVERY INCH OF YOU

Oh baby I was a loser
Several years on the dole
An Englishman with a very high voice
Doing rock and roll
1.There are seas of sleeveless t-shirts
Queues around the block
And every man, woman and child
Wants to… suck my cock
I'm in a band with my brother and my two best mates
I never leave the house without my SM58

Every Inch Of You
You know I'm going to work it
Every Inch Of You

I wanted to be a doctor
I wanted to be a vet
Until I heard 'Communication Breakdown'
On a TDK D90 cassette
My entire adult life was spent defying the man
Now I got the whole arena eating out of my hand

Every Inch Of You
You know I'm going to work it
Every Inch Of You

I've attended my last lecture
Slept through my last class
You can take your qualifications
Shove them up your ass

Every Inch Of You
You know I'm going to work it
Every Inch Of You

2. NOTHIN'S GONNA STOP US

When you're cycling thought the city at night
And you're dodging beams of Parky's light
I got my fingers greasy and you didn't care
I was fixing your chain while you're fixing your hair
Rolling on tarmac and walking on air

Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Fixing Your Hair
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now

Past the beach huts on the promenade
'Cos it doesn't matter where we are
Not when you're on the stunt pegs and I'm in the chair
I was pulling a wheelie, you're pulling my hair
They'll never catch us 'cos we're catchin air

Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Fixing Your Hair
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now

3. WITH A WOMAN

It's all over between me and you
I wanna tell you I still love you but it wouldn't be true
I know it hurts like hell but what else can I do?
You said I wasted your time but that was my time too
Living a lie, I was a liar, I lied
Too much of a coward to admit I wasn't satisfied
I know I caused you pain deep down inside
But the sweet love between us has died

Please forgive me if you can forget the things I've done
Understand that I am just a man
And I've fallen in love
With a woman

This is me leaving, this is me closing the door
I don't wanna be a part of you and me any more
I've had enough now baby, I loved you before
But I can't even remember what I used to adore
Gone. I bet you didn't think I'd dare
You had me locked up in a tower now I'm letting down my hair
My broken heart is not beyond repair
I was drowning now I'm coming up for air

Please forgive me if you can forget the things I've done
Understand that I am just a man
And I've fallen in love
With a woman

4. KEEP ME HANGIN'ON

I would be so blue
I couldn't do this without you
Whatever else you do
Please don't leave
Don't leave me here
Choking in salt tears
Love you my dear
And I can't breathe

Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
For all that I'm worth
'Til something better comes along
You just keep me hangin' on

I wanna shout
But I just can't get the words out
There ain't no doubt I'd die for ya
Love you so much
Like a rabbit loves its hutch
I'm feeling such euphoria

Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
For all that I'm worth
'Til something better comes along
You just keep me hangin' on

Hangin' on for dear life
I'm totally at your mercy
Hangin' on by a thread
If you leave me now I would die
I'd be dead.

Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
Oh you just keep me hangin' on
For all that I'm worth
'Til something better comes along
You just keep me hangin' on

5. LIVING EACH DAY BLIND

In a dead end town
Tied to apron strings
All our friends have left
Destined for better things
Nothing to do
No education
Can't afford a taxi to the station
It's the end of the line
Got nowhere to go
And we've got nowhere to be
So what's stopping you from leaving here with me?

There's nothing left for us here
Let's face it
We're losing sight of our dream
Let's chase it
Leave our mediocre lives behind
Living Each Day Blind
I'm sick of struggling
Just to get through it
The time for talking is over
Let's do it
Nothing you can say will change my mind
Living Each Day Blind

The kettle is on
The water is boiling
One more cup of tea
And I'm out of here
Shut the door
Keys in the letterbox
Pause to wipe away a silent tear
It's the end of the line
Got nowhere to go
And we've got nowhere to be
So what's stopping you from leaving here with me?

There's nothing left for us here
Let's face it
We're losing sight of our dream
Let's chase it
Leave our mediocre lives behind
Living Each Day Blind
I'm sick of struggling
Just to get through it
The time for talking is over
Let's do it
Nothing you can say will change my mind
Living Each Day Blind

For once in my life
You don't get to touch me any more
And I'm free
For once in my life
You don't get to touch me any more

Listen to me...

There's nothing left for us here
Let's face it
We're losing sight of our dream
Let's chase it
There's nothing left for us here
Let's face it
We're losing sight of our dream
Let's chase it
Leave our mediocre lives behind
Living Each Day Blind
I'm sick of struggling
Just to get through it
The time for talking is over
Let's do it
Nothing you can say will change my mind
Living Each Day Blind

6. EVERYBODY HAVE A GOOD TIME

Anticipation
Too much to bear
Maybe I'm crazy but there's something in the air
There's something in the air
Come on people, tell me how you feel
You want a good time
Well you got yourself a deal
Oh yeah you got yourself a deal

It's time to make a brand new start
Take off your thinking cap and listen to your heart

Everybody have a good time
Everybody have a blast
Everybody have a good time

For tonight may be our last

You think you're cool, well I'm not so sure
Come on baby leave your ego at the door
'Cos you don't need it any more
Where is all this fighting getting us?
Where's the fire baby? What's the fuss?

Everybody have a good time
Everybody have a blast
Everybody have a good time

For tonight may be our last
Yeah tonight may be our last
Electric guitar

Where fools rush in, where eagles dare
You will find us already there
We live the same dream every night
Having a good time 'til the morning light

Everybody have a good time
Everybody have a blast
Everybody have a good time

For tonight may be our last
Yeah tonight may be our last

7. SHE JUST A GIRL,EDDIE

That girl has gone and broken your heart
Like pulling the wings off a fly
Come on Eddie don't fall apart
Plenty more birds in the sky
But your sky is black
The ocean's rising and you can't hold it back

She just a girl Eddie
I know it feels like the end of the world
She just a girl Eddie
There are four billion other girls
Who want to make love to you

She's not an angel sent down from above
She's just a hand that you hold
She doesn't love you when push comes to shove
That warm fuzzy feeling has gone cold
Feels like you're dead inside
You've got a broken heart and wounded pride

She just a girl Eddie
I know it feels like the end of the world
She just a girl Eddie
There are four billion other girls
Who want to make love to you
And me

You're not the first Eddie
Way back in caveman times
Sabre toothed cave ladies chewed up and spat out our hearts

She just a girl Eddie
She's gone already
Just let her go Eddie
There are four billion other girls
Who want to make love to you

8. FORBIDDEN LOVE

Our love is forbidden
That just makes me want you more
I keep it all hidden
My in-laws would treat me like an outlaw
But I don't think I can just sit and watch
From afar
Something as beautiful as you are

Forbidden Love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
'cos if this is
Forbidden Love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
I might just have obeyed it
Might just have obeyed it
For a while

I tell myself that I've moved on
But I'm still crazy about you
And just because I'm not allowed
Doesn't mean that I don't want to
I don't think I can just be your mate
Any more
Hell is the truth learned too late

If you didn't want
Forbidden Love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
'cos if this is
Forbidden Love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
I might just have obeyed it
For a while

Forbidden Love
Oh you shouldn't have forbade it
'cos if this is
Forbidden Love
I won't rest until I've made it
If you hadn't made a rule to break
I might just have obeyed it
For a while
Forbidden Love
Forbidden Love
Forbidden Love
Forbidden Love

9. CONCRETE

I walk alone like a concrete lion
In the concrete wilderness
Somewhere deep in the concrete jungle
Is a concrete lioness
Looking for love
In every single thing I see
Looking for love
But love ain't looking for me

Surrounded by millions of people
That I hope I never have to meet
Searching for a sweet lady woman
To share a little body heat
Looking for love
Concrete

Carry your egg like a concrete penguin
A concrete Emperor
A concrete man in the concrete tundra
Concrete Antarctica
Looking for love
I'm tired of playing the concrete field
Looking for love
I've got to keep my concrete eyeballs peeled

Surrounded by millions of people
That I hope I never have to meet
Searching for a sweet lady woman
To share a little body heat
Looking for love
Concrete

Surrounded by millions of people
That I hope I never have to meet
Searching for a sweet lady woman
To share a little body heat
Looking for love
Concrete

10. STREET SPIRIT (FADE OUT)

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE

11. LOVE IS NOT THE ANSWER

Love
Love is not the answer
Love
Love is not your friend
Love
Love is not the beginning
And love
Love is not the end

And love isn't just
Liking someone a lot
I don't know what love is
But I know what love is not

For the feint hearted
You turn your back and it is gone
For the feint hearted
It can melt a heart of stone
And nobody can make it on their own

Love will make you stupid
Love
Love will make you wait
Love
Love is not destiny, it is fate
And love
Ain't that different from hate

In that it hurts like hell
And makes you lose the plot
I don't know what love is
But I know what love is not
For the feint hearted
You turn your back and it is gone
For the feint hearted
It can melt a heart of stone
And nobody can make it on their own

Always on my mind
Always worth a shot
I don't know what love is
But I know what love is not

For the feint hearted
You turn your back and it is gone
For the feint hearted
It can melt a heart of stone
You can't make it on your own
You can't make it on your own
