Girls on Film
[Intro]
Sound of Camera shutters flickering[Verse 1]
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out it's so bright
Then walk right out to the four-line track
There's a camera rolling on her back, on her back
And I sense the rhythm humming in a frenzy all the way down her spine[Chorus]
Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film[Verse 2]
Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling
In miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man's coming up for air
Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here as she goes under again[Chorus]
Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (got your picture)
Girls on film[Verse 3]
Wider baby smiling you just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I'm touching close I'm holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper take me up till I'm shooting a star[Chorus-Outro]
Girls on film (she's more than a lady)
Girls on film
Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you together)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (what you doing)
Girls on film... -
Planet Earth
Only came outside to watch the night fall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
You'll see I'm right some other timeLook now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet EarthMy head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if you're coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I can't see youLook now, look all around, there's no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you're looking at Planet EarthBop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Calling Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
Looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is Planet Earth -
Fame
Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, and hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there, when things are hollow
Fame...Fame, it's not your brain, just a flame
A funny tin to dip you insane
Fame...Fame, what you like is in the Limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame...Fame, "Nein! It's mine!" is just his line
He's only trying to drive you to crime... (crime)
Fame...Is it any wonder
I'll reject you first
Is it any wonder
You're too cool to foolFame
Bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on... pain
Fame...Fame (Rpt x23)
What's your name?
What a game...
What a shame... What a shame... -
Careless Memories
[Verse 1]
So soon
Just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes
So damned long
Before I feel how much
My eyes have darkened[Chorus 1]
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb
With a thought
With a whisper
With a careless memory[Verse 2]
On the table
Signs of love life scattered
And the walls break
We go crashing within
It's not as though
As though you really mattered
But being close
How could I let you go
Without some feeling
Some precious sympathy following[Chorus 1]
[Verse 3]
I walk out into the sun
I try to find a new day
But the whole place
It just screams in my eyes
Where are you now?
Cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die
I think I'd laugh at you
I think I'd cry
What am I supposed to do
Follow you?[Chorus 1]
-
Anyone Out There
I never found out what made you leave
And now the day is over, just an hour to go
I tried to phone last night but you didn't answer
Just left me ringing on the lineOutside is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there, anyone else outsideMy face in the mirror shows the break in time
A crack in the ocean which does not align
I tried to sleep last night but I've caught your dreaming
About days we used to wonder awayOutside is there anyone out there, anyone else outside
Outside love is there anyone out there, anyone else outsideLook out of the window maybe you can call by my name
Another night over babe another light comes on in vainI tried to phone last night but you never answered
Just left me ringing in the air (outside)Is there anyone out there
(anyone out there) -
Sound of Thunder
[Verse 1]
I've been in this grass here
For the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty
But my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen?
Does it fly through the air?
Woah I gave up asking days away
I gave up asking days away[Chorus]
And now I'm lying here
Waiting for the sound of thunder
Waiting for the sound of thunder[Verse 2]
Here I am I'm a dotted line
Cut in through corners
Stick me through your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
And I just lying here
That's what I was made for[Verse 3]
And now my eyes are closing
But I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
I might fly off[Outro]
Waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder -
Is There Something I Should Know?
[Intro]
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now
Please, please tell me now[Verse 1]
I made a break, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year, maybe no goI know you're watching me
Every minute of the day, yeah
I've seen the signs
And the looks and the pictures
That give your game away, yeahThere's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say[Chorus 1]
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
'Cause you don't let it show[Verse 2]
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums
They all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind?
Can you see in the snow?And fiery demons all dance
When you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me
You're about as easy as a nuclear warThere's a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say[Chorus 1]
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Do you feel the same?
'Cause you don't let it showPlease, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say
That would make you come my way?
Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much I'd die
Every time it passes by?
Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make it show
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should know? -
Like An Angel
Oohh, Do-do do-do-do
Da da da da daThings that you used to say now take on different meanings you realise
Can't be too careful about the lines
Come on you know you're not so young you cannot hide behind disguise
Listen to your own desireEyes like an angel - so wise, don't lie
You never felt like this before
Fly like an angel - so high this time
You send your senses streaming freePlaces you used to go when you were young look different in the dark
Don't you worry it's O.K
And maybe I can help you find your way tonight I think you will agree
Summer reason's run awayEyes like an angel - so wise, don't lie
You never felt like this before
Fly like an angel - so high this time
You've got your senses streaming freeOh I hear your heart beating even faster now than mine
Now you know just what I mean
So take your place among those twilight gleaming rivers that you read
Give me reasons to believeEyes like an angel - so wise don't lie
You never feel like this again
Fly like an angel - so high this time
You send my senses streaming freeLike an angel... da da da-da
Like an angel... da da daa -
Hold Back The Rain
[Verse 1]
Hold back the rain
Yes we're miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesn't have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane[Chorus]
And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
(hold back the rain)
No time for worry cause we're on the roam again
(hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain[Verse 2]
Okay go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again[Chorus][x2]
[Outro]
Hold back the rain, hold back the rain. hold back the rain
Hold back the rain (hold back the rain), hold back the rain
(Hold back the rain), hold back the rain (hold back the rain)
Hold back the rain (hold back the rain), hold back the rain -
Save A Prayer
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You saw me standing by the wall
Corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun
So you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes
And where to go[Chorus]
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after[Verse 2]
Feel the breeze deep on the inside
Look you down into your well (Do-do-do-do-do)
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire (Do-do-do-do-do)
Take a chance like all dreamers
You can't find another way (Do-do-do-do-do)
You don't have to dream it all
Just live a day (Do-do-do-do-do)[Chorus]
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after[Verse 3]
Pretty looking road
I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin (Do-do-do-do-do)
Don't ask me why, I'll keep my promise
Melt the ice (Do-do-do-do-do)
And you wanted to dance
So I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul (Do-do-do-do-do)
Some people call it a one-night stand
But we can call it paradise (Do-do-do-do-do)[Chorus]
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after[Bridge]
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do[Outro]
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after
Save a prayer 'til the morning after... -
My Own Way
[Verse 1]
I saw you at the air race yesterday
April showers get out of my way
Fear of flying no not me
I'm never bothered what you say
Someone's kid just lives for today
It ain't your problem anyway[Chorus]
Cause I've got my own way, I can find my own way, cause I've got my own way
Cause I've got my own way, I can find my own way, cause I've got my own way[Verse 2]
Number one
Public figure what a pain
Just puts another rattle in your brain
Take another green but it's not the same
So now you're on the sand lane everyday
Dancing with the bulls in any old way
Running like a fox to keep up with me[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'm on 45 between 6th and Broadway,
7UP between 6th and Broadway[Chorus]
-
Rio
[Verse 1]
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special
And you look like you're the best[Chorus]
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande[Verse 2]
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you[Chorus]
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande[Tenor Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Hey now woo look at that
Did he nearly run you down?
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive, alive
I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking[Chorus]
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand
And I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the North down to the Rio Grande -
New Religion
[Verse 1]
I've been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I know
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there, man, it's no goI need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her, don't know how
Too many things, too much to knowI'll bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
Cause sometimes people stare
Sitting down, electric chair
Steaming crowds they gather and they shout[Chorus 1]
[Backing vocal Simon LeBon lead vocal]
Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise[Chorus 2]
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself
It's a new religion[Verse 2]
Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
Got to take pay the saints 'n sinners
In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things
Walking in formation down the lane
They carry their cross, make a church bell ring
Army majors pull a mean cool truth
They're lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that
A man is just a fool[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
-
The Chauffeur
[Verse 1]
Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me, so newly charming
Sweating dew drops glisten, freshing your side[Chorus]
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart[Verse 2]
Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze[Chorus]
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart[Chorus]
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart[Refrain]
Sing, Blue Silver[Bridge]
And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes with a word to stiffen brooding lies
But I'll only watch you leave me further behind[Chorus]
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart[Chorus]
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart[Refrain]
Sing, Blue Silver
Sing, sing Blue Silver[Outro]
"Known as Albert Schweitzer
There's more to this kind of camouflage, more than just colour and shape
Who's crawling now in the tall grass near my tent?
Listen..." -
Hungry Like The Wolf
[Verse 1]
Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo[Chorus]
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf[Verse 2]
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heat, I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo[Chorus 2]
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Scent and a sound
I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive, all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf[Bridge]
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf[Chorus 3]
Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt,I'm after you
I smell like I sound
I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive, with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf -
Lonely In Your Nightmare
[Verse 1]
Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand
And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red
And when the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me
I'll be your homing angel I'll be in your head[Chorus]
Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in
And there's heat beneath your winter let me in[Verse 2]
I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb
And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin
Please tread gently on the ground when all around you earth turns to fire
Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Must be lucky weather when you find the kind of wind that you need
Come on show me all the light and shade that made your name
I know you've got it in your head I've seen that look before
You've built your refuge turns you captive all the same[Outro]
Because your lonely in your nightmare let me in
And it's barren in your garden let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in
Because you're so lonely in your nightmare let me in
And it's cold out on the stone range let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in -
Last Chance On The Stairway
[Verse 1]
I don't remember quite how I met you wasn't long ago
I just get a picture of sun in your eyes the waves in your hair
Maybe it's something said in a movie or you could've said last night
It just took me out on a limb and I don't really know what I'm doing here[Chorus 1]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beat's so in time, can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, I've had my last chance on the stairway[Verse 2]
Funny it's just like a scene out of Voltaire twisting out of sight
'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back we'll turn and see the circles we've traced
Ain't no game (ooo-ooo) when you're playing with fire
It doesn't seem right that we fight so the party runs on all night[Chorus 2]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beat's so in time, can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, so nervous to say, tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more, baby dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later, I've had my last chance on the stairway[Verse 3]
Wonder why (wonder why ooo-ooo) what makes me rise so high
Maybe it's something they put in your perfume or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking, oh, I don't know what you're thinking
I don't even know what you're drinking, but it keeps this heaven alive[Chorus 2]
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide and my beat's so in time, can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right, so nervous to say, tell me can't you see?
And if you want I'll fall out forever, I can't say no more, baby dance with me
And please don't say leave it till later, I've had my last chance on the stairway[Outro]
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway -
Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me)
You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
For only metal - what a bore!
Blue eyes, blue eyes; how can you tell so many lies?Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, runnin' wildThere's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile
Resist, resist; it's from yourself you have to hideCome up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, runnin' wildThere ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my belief in Mother Earth
How can you ignore my faith in everything
Cause' I know what faith is, what it's worth
Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll tryCome up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, runnin' wildOhhhhhhhhh la la la
Ohhhhhhhhh la la la ohhhhhhCome up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, runnin' wildOhhhhhhhhh la la la
Ohhhhhhhhh la la la ohhhhhhCome up and see me, make me smile
