# All I need is a TV show That, and the radio

# Down on my luck again

# Down on my luck again

# I can show you, I can show you

# Some of the people in my life

# I can show you, I can show you

# Some of the people in my life

# It's driving me mad

# Just another way of passing the day

# I, I get so lonely when she's not there

# I, I, I, I...

# You're just another face that I know from a TV show

# I have known you for so very long I feel you're like a friend

# Can't you do anything for me? Can I touch you for a while?

# Can I meet you on another day and we will fly away?

# I can show you, I can show you

# Some of the people in my life

# I can show you, I can show you

# Some of the people in my life

# It's driving me mad

# It's just another way of passing the day

# I, I get so lonely when she's not there

# I, I, I, I... #

APPLAUSE

It's one o'clock, time for lunch

Um-dee-dum dee-day

When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench

I can always hear them talk

# There's always been Ethel

# "Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now"

# And then Mr Lewis

# "Isn't it time that he was out on his own?"

# Over the garden wall Two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you!

# Keep them mowing-blades sharp

# I know what I like And I like what I know

# Getting better in your wardrobe

# Stepping one beyond your show

# Your show!

# Na-na-na, na-na-na

# Na-na-na, na-na-na

# Na-na-na, na-na-na

# Na-na-na, na-na-na

# Sunday night Mr Farmer called, said

# "Listen, son You're wasting time

# "There's a future for you in the fire-escape trade

# "Come up to town!"

# But I remembered a voice from the past

# "Gambling only pays when you're winning"

# I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure

# Keep them mowing-blades sharp

# I know what I like

# And I like what I know

# Getting better in your wardrobe

# Stepping one beyond your show

# I know what I like And I like what I know

# Getting better in your wardrobe

# Stepping one beyond your show. #

APPLAUSE

# Look up on the wall there on the floor

# Under the pillow, behind the door

# There's a crack in the mirror

# Somewhere there's a hole in a windowpane

# Do you think I'm to blame?

# Tell me, do you think I'm to blame?

-# When they do it

-You're never there

-# When they show it

-You stop and stare

-# Abacab

-He's in anywhere

# Abacab

# If you're wrapping up the world

# Cos you've taken someone else's girl

# When they turn on the pillow

# Even when they answer the telephone

# Don't you think that by now

# Tell me Don't you think that by now

-# When they do it

-You're never there

-# When they show it

-You stop and stare

-# Abacab

-He's in anywhere

-# Abacab

-Doesn't really care

# You want it, you got it You gotta go

# You want it, you got it Now you know

# It's an illusion

# It's a game

# Or reflection of someone else's name

# When you wake in the morning

# Wake and find you're covered in cellophane

# Well, there's a hole in there somewhere

# Yeah, there's a hole in there somewhere

# Baby, there's a hole in there somewhere

# Now, there's a hole in there somewhere

-# When they do it

-You're never there

-# When they show it

-You stop and stare

-# Abacab

-He's in anywhere

# Abacab... #

APPLAUSE

# Got to get some food

# I'm so hungry all the time

# I don't know how to stop

# I don't know how to stop

# Got to get some sleep

# I'm so nervous in the night

# But I don't know how to stop

# I don't know how to stop

# I don't know how to stop

# Hey, I don't know how to stop

# Got to pick up the phone

# I will call any number

# I will talk to anyone

# I know I'm gone too far

# Much too far I gone this time

# And I don't want to think what I've done

# Cos I don't know how to stop

# Hey, I don't know how to stop

# There are always hidden silences

# Waiting behind the chair

# They come out when the coast is clear

# They eat anything that moves

# I go shaky at the knees

# Lights go out, stars come down

# Like a swarm of bees

# No self-control

# No self-control

# No self-control

# No self-control

# No self-control

# No self-control

# No self-control

# No self-control

# No self-control, no self-control

# You know I hate to hurt you

# I hate to see your pain

# But I don't know how to stop

# I don't know how to stop

# Street after street

# Night after night

# I walk on through the rain

# I walk on through the rain

# I don't know how to stop

# I don't know how to stop

# No, I don't know how to stop

# I don't know how to stop

# Hey, I don't know how to stop

# I don't know how to stop. #

APPLAUSE

# Paperlate, paperlate

# Paperlate, ooh, I'm sorry but there is no-one on the line

# Paperlate, ooh, I'm sorry but rest easy, no news is good news

# Ooh, it's too easy to live like clockwork

# Tick-tock, watching the world go by

# Any change would take too long

# So dry your eyes

# Ooh, it's too easy to live in a cold sweat

# Just sitting dripping in pools below

# You can wipe your face

# Kill the pain

# But the fever won't go, no, no

# Paperlate

# Pull it together now

# Put your feet back on the ground

# Paperlate

# Ooh, don't worry now

# You're not alone

# Look around you

# Paperlate

# Ooh, I'm sorry but there's no-one on the line

# Paperlate

# Ooh, I'm sorry but rest easy, no news is good news

# Ooh, it's too easy to compute your future

# Taking no risks and playing too safe

# Any change would take too long

# So dry your eyes

# Ooh, it's too easy to talk about rocking the boat

# Making changes and changing track

# But you'd better not lock that door

# Cos you'll be coming back

# Ah, you're breathing faster

# Silence the only sound

# There's no need to be nice on the way up

# Cos you're not coming down

# Paperlate, paperlate

# Paperlate, paperlate

# Paperlate, paperlate

# Paperlate, paperlate

# Paperlate

# Ooh, I'm sorry but there's no-one on the line... #

APPLAUSE

# I can feel it coming in the air tonight

# Oh, Lord

# And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life

# Oh, Lord

# Can you feel it coming in the air tonight

# Oh, Lord, oh, Lord

# Well, if you told me you were drowning

# I would not lend a hand

# I've seen your face before My friend

# But I don't know if you know who I am

# Well, I was there and I saw what you did

# I saw it with my own two eyes

# So you can wipe off that grin

# I know where you've been

# It's all been a pack of lies

# And I can feel it coming in the air tonight,

# Oh, Lord

# Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life

# Oh, Lord

# I can feel it coming in the air tonight

# Oh, Lord, oh, Lord

# Well, I remember

# I remember, don't worry

# How could I ever forget?

# It's the first time

# The last time we ever met

# But I know the reason why you keep your silence up

# No, you don't fool me

# The hurt doesn't show

# But the pain still grows

# It's no stranger to you and me

# And I can feel it coming in the air tonight

# Oh, Lord

# Well, I've been waiting for this moment... #

# The men of steel, the men of power

# Are losing control by the hour

# This is the time

# So we look for the future

# But there's not much love to go round

# Tell me why this is a land of confusion

# This is the world we live in

# Oh-oh-oh

# And these are the hands we're given

# Oh-oh-oh

# Use them and let's start trying

# Oh-oh-oh

# To make it a place worth living in

# I remember long ago

# Yes, and the stars were bright

# All through the night

# And the sound of your laughter

# As I held you tight

# So long ago

# I won't be coming home tonight

# My generation will put it right

# We're not just making promises

# That we know we'll never keep

# Too many men

# There's too many people

# Making too many problems

# And not much love to go round

# Can't you see

# This is a land of confusion

-# Now this is the world we live in

-Oh-oh-oh

-# And these are the hands we're given

-Oh-oh-oh

-# Use them and let's start trying

-Oh-oh-oh

# To make it a place worth fighting for

# Just where our lives are going to... #

-Morning, dear.

-Hey, Nance, what a terrible dream.

I'm parched.

That's better.

I could use another one of those.

Er...

# Every generation

# Blames the one before

# And all of their frustrations

# Come beating on your door

# I know that I'm a prisoner

# To all my father held so dear

# I know that I'm a hostage

# To all his hopes and fears

# I just wish I could have told him

# In the living years

-# Say it loud

-Say it loud

-# Say it clear

-Oh, say it clear

# You can listen as well as you hear

-# It's too late

-It's too late

-# When we die

-Whoa, when we die

# To admit we don't see eye to eye

# So we open up a quarrel

# Between the present and the past

# We only sacrifice the future

# It's the bitterness that lasts

# So don't yield to the fortunes

# You sometimes see as fate

# It may have a new perspective

# On a different date

# And if you don't give up and don't give in

# You may just be OK

# Say it, say it, say it loud

-# Say it clear

-Whoa, say it clear

# You can listen as well as you hear

# It's too late, it's too late

-# When we die

-Whoa, when we die

# To admit we don't see eye to eye

APPLAUSE

# Well, the key to my survival

# Was never in much doubt

# The question was how I could keep sane

# Trying to find a way out

# Things were never easy for me

# Peace of mind was hard to find

# And I needed a place where I could hide

# Somewhere I could call mine

# I didn't think much about it

# Till it started happening all the time

# Soon I was living with the fear every day

# Of what might happen that night

# I couldn't stand to hear the crying of my mother

# And I remember when

# I swore that that would be the last they'd see of me

# And I never went home again

# They say that time is a healer

# And now my wounds are not the same

# I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth

# I had to hear what he'd say

# He sat me down to talk to me

# He looked me straight in the eyes

# He said You're no son, you're no son of mine

# You're no son You're no son of mine

# You walked out, you left us behind

# And you're no son You're no son of mine

# Oh, his words, how they hurt me I'll never forget it

# And as the time, it went by I lived to regret it

# You're no son You're no son of mine

# Oh, where should I go Tell me, what should I do?

# You're no son You're no son of mine

# I came here for help Cos I was looking for you

# Well, the years They passed so slowly

# I thought about him every day

# What would I do if we passed on the street?

# Would I keep running away?

# In and out of hiding places

# Soon I'd have to face the facts

# We'd have to sit down and talk it over

# And that would mean going back

# They say that time is a healer

# And now my wounds are not the same

# I rang that bell with my heart in my mouth

# I had to hear what he'd say

# He sat me down to talk to me

# He looked me straight in the eyes

# He said

# You're no son You're no son of mine

# You're no son You're no son of mine

# When you walked out You left us behind

# And you're no son You're no son of mine

# Oh, his words, how they hurt me

# I'll never forget it

# And as the time, it went by

# Oh, I lived to regret it

# You're no son You're no son of mine

# But where should I go?

# And what should I do?

# You're no son You're no son of mine

# I came here for help

# Oh, I was looking for you

# You're no son You're no son of mine

# No!

# You're no son of...

# Oh, yeah!

# Oh, yeah!

# Oh, yeah!

# Oh, yeah!

# Oh, yeah!

# You're no son...

# You're no son of mine!

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh. #

CHEERING

# Many too many have stood where I stand

# Many more will stand here too

# I think what I find strange is the way you built me up

# Then knocked me down again

# Part was fun but now it's over

# Why can't I just leave the stage?

# Maybe that's because you securely locked me up

# Then threw away the key

# Oh, mama

# Please, would you find the key?

# Oh, pretty mama

# Please, won't you let me go free?

# I thought I was lucky

# I thought that I'd got it made

# How could I be so blind?

# You said goodbye on a corner

# That I thought led to the straight

# You set me on a firmly laid and simple course

# Then removed the road

# Oh, mama

# Please help me find my way

# Oh, pretty mama

# Please lead me through the next day

# I thought I was lucky

# Oh, I thought that I'd got it made

# How could I be so blind?

# Oh, no. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Blue jeans sitting on the beach

# Her dog's talking to me but she's out of reach

# She's got a body under that shirt

# But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt

# Cos I can't dance, I can't talk

# The only thing about me is the way I walk

# I can't dance, I can't sing

# I'm just standing here selling

# Oh, and checking everything is in place

# You never know who's looking on

# Young punk spilling beer on my shoes

# Fat guy's talking to me Trying to steal my blues

# Thick smoke See her smiling through

# I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool

# But I can't dance, I can't talk

# The only thing about me is the way that I walk

# I can't dance, I can't sing

# I'm just standing here selling

# Oh, and checking everything is in place

# You never know who's looking on

# The perfect body
