Next To You
Alright - hey
Thank you, um
This is called all I wanna be is Next To You


I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay
You took me over, let me find a way

I sold my house, I sold my motor, too
All I want is to be next to you
I'd rob a bank, maybe steal a plane
You took me over, think I'll go insane

What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
What can I do - all I want is to be next to you

I've had a thousand girls or maybe more
Although I've never felt like this before
Oh, I just don't know what's come over me
You took me over, take a look at me

What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you

So many times I used to give a sign
I got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all it is is just a love affair
You took me over, baby, take me there

What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is
Next to you, next to you, next to you, next to you


Thank you
I feel, I feel so, I feel So Lonely

I'm not surprised

So Lonely
Well, someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart

So lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
So lonely, lonely, lonely
So lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely

Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All dressed up and nowhere to go, no
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise, no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role

So lonely, so lonely, lonely, lonely
So lonely, lonely, lonely
So lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely

Oh, feel so low, I feel so low, oh, I feel so low, low, low
Yes, I feel so low, yes, I feel so low
Yes, I feel so low, yes, I feel so low - low, low, low
I feel low, low, low, I feel low, low, low, low
I feel low, low, low, I feel so low
I feel so lonely, I feel so lonely, so low, low, low
So lonely, so lonely
I feel, I feel so lonely, I feel so low
I feel so, I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel so, I feel so
I feel so, I feel so, I feel so, I feel so, I feel so
I feel so, I feel so, I feel so, I feel so, I feel so
I feel so, I feel so, I feel so, I feel so, I feel so, I feel so
Feel so low, I feel so low, I feel so low, I feel so lonely
I feel low, low, low, I feel low, low, low, I feel low, low, low, oh
Low, low, low, I feel low, low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, I feel low, low, low, I feel low, low, low
Low, low, low, I feel low, low, low, I feel so
Feel so lonely, I feel so lonely
I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it, I feel it

Back to Song List


Truth Hits Everybody
One, two, three
I mean it


Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold

Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone, whoa, oh
Truth hits everybody, whoa, oh, truth hits everyone, whoa, oh
Truth hits everybody, whoa, oh, truth hits everyone

I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in life is death

Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone, whoa, oh
Truth hits everybody, whoa, oh, truth hits everyone, whoa, oh
Truth hits everybody, whoa, oh, truth hits everyone, yeah

Where you want to be
Won't you ever see

Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone, whoa, oh
Truth hits everybody, whoa, oh, truth hits everyone, whoa, oh
Truth hits everybody, whoa, oh, truth hits everyone, whoa, oh,.yeah
Truth hits everybody, whoa, oh, truth hits everyone, whoa, oh
Truth hits everybody, whoa, oh, truth hits everyone, yeah, now


I'm gonna say, this is the first time I've been to Boston
And I've never had terminal laryngitis
Thank you, I feel healthy tonight

Walking On The Moon
This is from my new record, it's called Walking On The Moon
I feel like it
One, two, three


Giant steps are what you take walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break walking on the moon
We could walk forever, walking on the moon
We could be together walking on, walking on the moon

Walking back from your house, walking on the moon
Walking back from your house, walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly touch the ground walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound walking on, walking on the moon, alright

Some may say I'm wishing my days away
No way, and if it's the price I pay
Some say tomorrow's another day
You stay, I may as well play

Giant steps are what you take walking on the moon
I hope my leg don't break walking on the moon
We could walk forever, walking on the moon
We could be together walking on, walking on the moon

Some may say I'm wishing my days away
No way, and if it's the price I pay
Some say tomorrow's another day
You stay, I may as well play

Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up


Thank you, that was, uh, Walking On The Moon

Hole In My Life
You know this, I know this, come on


Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

There's a hole in my life
There's a hole in my life
Shadow in my heart is tearing me apart
Or maybe it just something in my stars

There's a hole in my life
There's a hole, I say, in my life
I be a happy man, oh yeah, I try the best I can, yeah
Or maybe I'm just looking for too much

There's something missing from my life
Cuts me open like a knife
Leaves me vulnerable, I hate this disease
I shake like an incurable, God help me, please
Whoa, there's a hole, oh yeah, in my life
There's a hole, I say, in my life

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Fallout
I never thought of leading
I got my own machine
And I pay my dues all along
Always set for breaking
When I missed those other people
Cos I knew that I was really alone

Fallout, fallout with all the leaders and gangs
Fallout, fallout with all the leaders and gangs, oh yeah

I saw my education
It was my indoctrination
Be another parking machine
All my sense was breaking
When I missed those other people
I was really obscene

Fallout, fallout with all the leaders and gangs
Fallout, fallout with all the leaders and gangs, oh yeah

I never thought of leading
I got my own machine
I pay my dues all along
Always set for breaking
When I missed those other people
Really alone

Fallout, fallout with all the leaders and gangs
Fallout, fallout with all the leaders and gangs
Fallout, fallout with all the leaders and gangs
Fallout, fallout with all the leaders and gangs, oh yeah

Uh, huh
This song is called Bring On The Night
Know what it's like
Back to Song List


Bring On The Night
Bring it on, bring it on
One, two, three, four


The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its self against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow, it's just another day
As I bid this yesterday goodbye

Come on now, bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness staring me blind
As I bid this yesterday goodbye

Come on now, bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

Bring on the night, yeah, yeah
Bring on the night, yeah
Bring on the night, yeah, yeah
Bring us the night
Bring on the night, yeah

Back to Song List


Message In A Bottle
Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, whoa
Message in a bottle, yeah
Oh, message in a bottle, oh yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but love can break your heart

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, whoa, yeah
Message in a bottle, whoa
Message in a bottle, yeah, yeah

Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone in being alone
A hundred billion castaways looking for a home

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle, yeah
Oh, message in a bottle, whoa
Message in a bottle, yes

The Bed's Too Big Without You
This is The Bed's Too Big Without You
Know what I mean
One, two, three, four

The bed's too big without you
The cold wind blow right through that open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreaming dreams of what used to be

When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride, yeah
No regrets, no love, no tears
Living on my own, least of my fears

The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
Without you, without you, without you

Since that day when you'd gone
I just had to carry on, yeah
I get through the day but late at night
I make love to my pillow but didn't seem right

Every day, just the same
Old rules for the same old game
All I gained was heartache
All I made - one mistake, oh yeah

The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
Without you, without you, without you

Bed's too big without you
A cold wind blow right through that open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreaming dreams of what used to be

When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride, yeah
No regrets, no love, no tears
Living on my own, least of my fears

The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
Without you, without you, alright, without you

Peanuts
Peanuts


It's all a game, you're not the same
Your famous name, the price of fame

I said, oh, no - try to liberate me
I said, oh, no - stay and elevate me
I said, oh, no - try to liberate me
I said, oh, no

Don't wanna hear about the drugs you're taking
Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking

You sang your song much too long
There's something wrong, the bread has gone

I said, oh, no - try to liberate me
I said, oh, no - stay and elevate me
I said, oh, no - try to liberate me
I said, oh, no

Don't wanna hear about the drugs you're taking
Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking

Roxanne
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne, you don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light

I loved you since I knew you, I wouldn't talk down to you
Told you once, I won't tell you again
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up so put away your make up
Told you once, I won't tell you again - it's a bad way

Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne, you don't have to put on the red light, come on
Roxanne, Roxanne, Roxanne, Roxanne, Roxanne, Roxanne

Can't Stand Losing You
I can't, I Can't Stand Losing You


I called you so many times today
I guess it's all true, what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you, I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you

I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing you
You, yeah, you, yeah, losing you

Alright Boston, this is Boston, isn't it
You got an A-string for 'em, Sting

Daylight come and me wan go home
Daylight come and me wan go home

I think I've shouted enough for this evening
Now it's your turn
We're gonna turn down the decibels real low so we can hear ya
So WBCN can hear ya, come on
Sing with me

I guess this is our last goodbye
You don't care, so I won't cry
You'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride

I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

Landlord
This is called, uh, Landlord I don't want ya


I don't want to rent your house from you
I don't know how you can expect me to
I ain't moving cos I know my rights
Too many homeless on the streets at night

You own a street and a block of flats
You earn your living like the other rats
No morality, what do you care
You deal in poverty, you buy despair

I ain't moving till the bailiff comes
I've got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving till the bailiff comes
Got no weapons, gonna get me some

You go and call yourself a business man
You're just a parasite on Pyllosan
You're just a middle class, middle aged shit
You sold your granny for a fifty bit

You own a street and a block of flats
You earn your living like the other rats
No morality, what do you care
You deal in poverty, you buy despair

I ain't moving till the bailiff comes
Got no weapons, gonna get me some
I ain't moving till the bailiff comes
No weapons, gonna get me some, yeah

Be My Girl/Sally
This is called, would you be, would you Be My Girl


Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl
Be my, be my, be my girl
Be my girl, won't you be my girl
Be my, be my, be my girl
Be my girl, won't you be my girl
Be my, be my, be my girl
Be my girl, won't you be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl, be my girl, be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl, be my girl, would you be my girl

I was blue and lonely, I couldn't sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious if I'd had to much to drink
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere, each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation were growing in my head
I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life
Somewhere to place affection, but I didn't want a wife
And then by lucky chance I saw in a special magazine
An ad that was unusual, the like I'd never seen
"Experience something different with our new imported toy
She's loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy."
She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown
So I took her to the bedroom, I pumped her with some life
And so a moment later that girl became my wife
So I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair
And when I'm feeling naughty I blows her up with air
She's cuddly and she's bouncy, she's like a rubber ball
I bounce her in the kitchen, I bounce her in the hall
And now my life is different since Sally came my way
I wake up in the morning and have her on a tray
She's everything they said she was and I wear a permanent grin
And I only have to worry in case my girl wears thin

Won't you be my girl, won't you be my girl
Be my, be my, be my girl
Be my girl, won't you be my girl
Be my, be my, be my girl
Be my girl, won't you be my girl
Be my, be my, be my girl
Be my girl, won't you be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl, be my girl, be my girl
Be my girl, be my girl, be my girl, would you be my

One, two, three, four

What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
What can I do - all I want is to be next to you
What can I do, yeah - all I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is to be next to you
All I want is
Next to you, next to you, next to you, next to you


Thank you
Good night Boston, thank you
