;All the people I was kissing,
;Some are here and some are missing,
;In the nineteen-nineties....
;But I thought in spite of dreams
;You'd be sitting somewhere here with me.
- "Being Boring"
;She's made you some kind of laughing stock
;Because you dance to disco and you don't like rock
;She made fun of you and even in bed
;Said she was going to go and get herself a real man instead
- "Can You Forgive Her?"
;Remember when you were more easily led
;Behind the cricket pavillion and the bicycle shed
;Trembling as your dreams came true
;You looked up into those blue eyes and knew
;It was love, and now you can't pretend
;You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend...
- "Can You Forgive Her?"
;That
Zazou, he don't care
;Dark glasses, long hair...
;Sips his drinks, orders more,
;Says what he thinks, and it's a crazy war.
- "In The Night"
;So my baby's on the road, doing business, selling loads,
;Charming everyone there with the sweetest smile...
;Oh tonight I miss you, oh tonight I wish you
;Would be here with me, but I won't see you
;Till you've made it back again home and dry...
- "Home and Dry"
;When I look back upon my life
;It's always with a sense of shame
;I've always been the one to blame
;For everything I long to do
;No matter where or when or who
;Has one thing in common too;
;It's a - it's a- it's a - it's a sin!
- "It's a Sin"
;In the back of my head
;I heard distant feet;
;Che Guevara and Debussy
;To a disco beat.
- "Left To My Own Devices"
;To free in me the trust I never dared
;I always thought the risk too great
;But suddenly, I don't hesitate
;So take my hand, don't think of complications
;Now, right now, your love is liberation
- "Liberation"
;What I wanted to be was a family man,
;But Nature had some alternative plans.
- "Metamorphosis"
;...but here am I;
;Once a caterpillar, now a butterfly.
- "Metamorphosis"
;Push me in a corner and I'll scream.
- "One More Chance"
;But for all of those who don't fit in,
;Who follow their instincts and are told they sin,
;This is a prayer for a different way.
- "Red Letter Day"
;Break a window by the town hall, listen, the siren screams
;There in the distance like a roll-call of all the suburban dreams...
;I only wanted something else to do but hang around...
- "Suburbia"
;I look from my window down to the square
;At workers still queueing patiently there
;For market forces to provide
;What history so far has denied
;For a different kind of fate
;Than to labour long and always wait...
- "To Step Aside"
;The more that you hate, the more that it grates.
- "Up Against It"
;I reserve the right to live
;My life this way, and I don't give
;A damn when other people say
;I'll pay the price that others pay
- "Was It Worth It?"
;Will I get in your way or open your eyes?
;Who will give whom the bigger surprise?
;Young offender, how you resent
;The lovers you need; it hurts when they bleed...
- "Young Offender"
