Expresso Love Hand In Hand Solid Rock Les Boys

Tunnel Of Love Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose Sing about the sixblade sing about sing about the switchback and a torture tatto o And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam And I don't know where I'll tonight but I'd always tell you where I am In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light She had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night I put my hand upon the level said let it rock and let it roll I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this It's just a cakewalk twisting baby step right up and say Hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig Money for muscle another girl i dig Another hustle just to make it big And rockaway rockaway And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did Like the spanish city to me when we were kids Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did Like the spanish city to me when we were kids She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss And in the roar of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a law ride with me girl

On the tunnel of love And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades In any shooting gallery where promises are made To rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway And girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did Like the spanish city to me when we were kids Girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did Like the spanish city to me when we were kids Romeo And Juliet A love struck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made Finds a convenient streetlight steeps out of the shade Says something like you and me babe how about it? Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that Anyway what you gonna do about it ? Juliet the dice were loaded from the start And I bet ant exploded in my heart And I forget I forget the movie song When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet? Come up on different streets Both dirty both mean yes and And I dreamed your dream for How can you look at me as if When you can You can fall You promised Now you just they both were streets of shame the dream was just the same you and now your dram is real I was just another one of your deals?

fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold for pretty strangers and the promises they hold me everything you promised me thick and thin say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cry You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die There's a place for us you know the movie song When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet? I can't do the talk like they talk on TV And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you I can't do anything expect be in love with you And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be All I do is keep the beat and bad company All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme Julie I'd do the stars with you any time Juliet when we made love you used to cry You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die And there's a place for us you know the movie song When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade Says something like you and me babe how about it? Skate Away I seen a girl on a one way corridor Stealing down a wrong way street For all the world like an urban toreador She had wheels on on her feet Well the cars do the usual dances Same old cruise and the kerbsid crawl But the rollergirl she's taking chances They just love to see her take them all No fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud Hallelujah here she comes queen rollerball Enchante what can I say don't care at all You know she used to have to wait around she used to be the lonely one But now that she can skate around town She's the only one No fears alone at night she's sailing through the crowd In her ears the phones are tight and the music's playing loud She gets rock'n'roll a rock'n'roll station And a rock'n'roll dream She's making movies on location She don't know what it means But the music make her wanna be the story And the story was whatever was the song what it was Rollergirl don't worry D.j. play the movies all night long She tortures taxi drivers just for fun She like to read their lips Says toro toro taxi see ya tomorrow my son I swear she let a big truck graze her hip She got her own world in the city You can't intrude on her She got her own world in the city Cos the city's been so rude to her Come slippin' and slidin' Life's a rollerball Slippin' and slidin' Skate away that's all Shala shalay hey hey skate away She's singing shala shalay hey hey Skate away Expresso Love She gets the sun in the daytime Perfume in the dusk And she comes out in the night time Withe the honeysuckle musk Because she smells just like a rose

And she takes like a peach She got me walking where the wildlife goes I'd do anything to reach her And she was made in heaven Heaven's in the world Is this just expresso love You know I'm crazy for the girl She call me just to talk She's my lover she's a friend of mine She says hey mister you wanna take a walk In the wild west end sometime And I get trouble with my breathing She says boys don't know anything but I know what I want I want everything Well I feel so good cos I feel so good And I feel so good cos I feel so right I was made to go with my girl Like a saxophone was made to go with the night And she can raise one eyebrow Put her hand on my hip And I close one eye now Sweat on her lip And I surrender to the fever I surrender to the will of the night She love me so tender I got to believe her Love? expresso love's alright I don't want no sugar in it Thank you very much All wire up on it all fired up on it Expresso touch Hey maestro expresso It's just another one just like the other one Hey maestro expresso Is this another one just like the other one Hand In Hand The sky is crying the streets are full of tears Rain come down wash away my fears And all this writing on the wall Oh I can read between the lines Rain come down forgive this dirty town Rain come down and give this dirty town A drink of water a drink of wine If I been hard on you I never choose to be I never wanted no one else I tried my best to be somebody you'd be close to Hand in hand like lovers are supposed to As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two I'd kiss your cheek I'd stop myself from waking you But in the dark you'd speak my name You'd say baby what's wrong? Oh here I am baby I'm coming back for more

I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore Yes and if my love's in vain how come my love is so strong? Now you and me go parallel together and apart And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart Did you never feel the distance You never tried to cross no line Now it's another dirty river and another dirty scar And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are So far from home don't you think of me sometime Sky is crying see the streets are full of tears Rain coming down to wash away my fears And all this writing on the wall Oh I can read between the lines Solid Rock Well take a look at that I made a castle in the sand Saying this is it's at you know Couldn't understand now If I realized that the chances were slim How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in I wanna live on solid rock I'm gonna live on solid rock I wanna give I don't wanna be blocked I'm gonna live on solid rock Well I'm sick of potential I'm stick of vanity now I'm sticking to essential reality now I don't know what's worse Try to make a silk purse Living on illusion living in confusion Well a house of cards Was never built for shock You could blow it down in any kind of weather Now two solid rocks two solid blocks You know they're gonna stick together Because the heart that you break That's the one you rely on the be bed that you make That's the one you gotta like on When you point your fingers cos your plan fell through You got three more fingers pointing back at you I wanna live on solid rock I'm gonna live on solid rock I wanna give I don't wanna be blocked I'm gonna live on solid rock I'm solid rock now Les Boys Les boys do cabaret Les boys are glad to be gay They're not afraid now Disco bar in Germany

Les boys are glad to be Upon parade now Les boys got leather straps Les boys got ss caps But they got no gun now Get dressed up get a little risque Got to do a little s&m these days it's all in fun now Les boys come on again For the high class whores And the businessmen Who drive in their mercedes benz To a disco bar in old munchen They get the jokes that the d.j. makes They get nervous and they make mistakes They're bad for business Some tourist take a photograph Les boys don't get one laugh He says they're unless Late at night when they've gone away Les boys dream of jean genet High heel shoes of black beret And the posters on the wall that say Les boys do cabaret Las boys are glad to be gay
