1. I'LL MAKE YOU HAPPY

I
I give
I give you
I give you love
Give you loving all the time
Give you kisses just like wine
Do her kisses taste like mine
No! no! no!

I'll make you happy just
Like you mommy said
I'll make you happy just
Like your daddy said
I'll make you happy just
Like your mommy said

If
If you
If you don't
If you dont want
If you don't want to be my man
Pass the bottle and the empty cans
I just want to hold your hand
Just me! me! me!

I'll make you happy just
Like you mommy said
I'll make you happy just
Like your daddy said
I'll make you happy just
Like your mommy said
To me


2. SCIENCE FICTION

I thought that love was science fiction until I saw you today
Now that love is my addiction
I've thrown all my books away
I thought love was science fiction until I saw you today
Now that love is my addiction
I've thrown all my books away

When I was young I was so naive
I was so naive I was making you leave me making you leave me
Never thought that we'd last this long
You know I always thought that
They'd dropped the bomb
Frop the bomb or did they?

When I was young I was, so naive
I didn't believe no I didn't believe it
I didn't believe in it
I've been waiting for some man from space
To come to earth to meet the human race
The human race or did they?



3. CASUAL ENCOUNTER

You are always looking at me
Please don't stare
Everytime I turn around
Your standing there
Just because I sit alone
Don't' mean I'm free
You think your so cool
But you don't cut with me
Don't' ask me what my name is
I know what your game is

It's just a casual encounter
It's just a casual encounter
It's just a casual encounter

Don't come on to me

With all those fancy lines
I can read between them
They're like neon signs
You just want to get me get me into bed
So stop pretending
That you like my head
Don't' ask me what my name is
I know what your game is

It's just a casual encounter
It's just a casual encounter
It's just a casual encounter

6. MOTION

Lying in the dark thinking all the night
Need to be sedated it's almost daylight
Tossing and a turning my bed's on fire
Feeling so frustrated don't' want to be a liar

You got motion motion motion motion

Sick of all my friends want to meed somebody new
They think I'm being phoney I think their phoney too
Felling so frustrated counting on sheep
Want to go to heave hell can keep

You got motion motion, you got motion motion

You got something they can't get enough
They cant' get enough now in a fit of emotion
Oooh la la

You got it you got it
You got motion

7. RING ME UP

You are my desire

Waiting by my telephone

Ringing you I'm always having to

We could make up when you came around
I really miss you and I feel so bad
If you're in bed I'll come to you instead
It will be alright when you come tonight
I really miss you and I feel so sad


8. TAKE A CHANCE

You better find you some people
Find you some people who know

Who have got something to show
You better not listen to scandal
You know it ain't worth that much
You better find something to scandle

Losers words that you heard
Losers shame losers blame
Don't take side objectify
Watch out

Lovers words that you heard

Lovers shame losers blame
Dont' take sides objectify

Daughters & sons the desperate ones
Take a chance take a chance
Dont' break down don't break down
Take a chance

10. DON'T YOU GO WALKING

It must be something y don't t must be something i don't do with you
Must be something left for you
Must be something i don't say
Left you crying away

Don't you go walking

Been said thousand times before
Don't you go walking

And we've been thru. Been thru this before
Should have seen to. Seen to this before
Wish i knew that - wish i knew you'd stay
I'm so nervous - so nervous today

So you say easier said than done now do

Stop that baby

Stop that baby
Stop that baby
Stop that baby
Stop that baby
Stop that baby

2. ONLY LONELY

Well I feel alright when it comes daylight
but when it comes the night
I am only lonely I am only lonely
I am only lonely I am only lonely

And if it doesn't feel right when I hold you tight
oh baby it's alright I am only lonely
I am only lonely I am only lonely

Oh baby, wonder if we could get involved
Oh baby, wonder if we could get involved

And if it doesn't feel right when I hold you tight
oh baby it's alright I am only lonely
I am only lonely I am only lonely

Oh baby, wonder if we could get involved
Oh baby, wonder if we could get involved

HE SAID "COME ON BABY, NOT ON THE FIRST DATE"
SO I SAID "OK BABY, HOW LONG MUST I WAIT?"

Well I feel right when it comes daylight
but when it comes the night I am only lonely
I am only lonely

And if it doesn't feel right when I hold you tight
Oh baby, it's alright, I am only lonely
I am only lonely

Oh baby, wonder if we could get involved
Oh baby, wonder if we could get involved

Oh baby, wonder if we could get involved

Wonder could we get involved

3. SCIENCE FICTION

I thought that love was science fiction
Until I saw you today
Now that love is my addiction
I've thrown all my books away
I thought love was science fiction
Until I saw you today
Now that love is my addiction
I've thrown all my books away

When I was young I was so naive
I was so naive I was making you leave me
Making you leave me
Never thought that we'd last this long
You know I always thought that
They'd dropped the bomb
Drop the bomb or did they?

When I was young I was, so naive
I didn't believe no I didn't believe it
I didn't believe in it
I've been waiting for some man from space
To come to earth to meet the human race
The human race or did they?



4. SIREN (NEVER LET YOU GO)

I knew when I met you I would not forget you
I knew I'd never let you go, oh
I knew that it was you who
Did it with you voodoo
I'm never gonna let you go, oh , oh
Never let you go never let you
Have to let you know
I can't forget you oh oh oh

Never let you go never let you go
Never let you go have to let you know
Can't forget you


5. ELSIE

She never had an education
She uses life as her vocation
Standing on ledges clinging to the edges
The world's a hard place to land on

She has this one way conversation
Trying to avoid a confrontation
Memories of the kind she's rather leave behind
The worlds' a hard place to land on

Life can be lonely can be very sad
Can be something you wish you never had

She never had any affection
So she relates well to rejection
No stories wait discovery
Dreams have passed recovery
The worlds a hard place to land on

She just sleeps all day
In her squalid little slum
And takes little white pills
To make her body feel numb
And it's dark and dirty
And there's nothing left to eat
And in her heart there's a feeling of defeat
Smells of bus and fornication
And a bottle of cheat scent
Should she stick around
If this is all that life meant

Life can be lonely can be very sad
Can be something you wish you never had

Open the door wally, open the door



6. ONLY YOU

Only only only only
Only you

Only only you
Can make me feel so insecurely
Were all going wrong
It's a sign for you surely
You say i bring down
Now i've turn the bales round
I say you bring me down
Only you can feels so
Paranoia soul destroyer
Conspiracy your out to get me
You are waring a disguise
So the problems still arise
You are wearing a disguise
Only you can feel so

Only you only you only you only you

Lady killer late night thriller
Frankenstein i'm on the line
Child bride knew no stress
Wide eyes and legless
Lat at me now i'm mess
Over you so



7. RING ME UP

You are my desire
You you make me cry
You are my desire
Oh baby you you you you make me cry

Got to find you, know your out there
Got to get you back into my hair
You just got to try cause I can't get by

Know you're out there know you've got a heart
Your gonna send me right back to the start
I really miss you and I feel so sad

Come on ring come on ring me come on ring me up

I am sitting here all alone
Waiting by my telephone
Wish I didn't leave it you
Ringing you I'm always having to

You are my desire
Oh baby you make me cry

If you still up we could go down
We could make up when you came around
I really miss you and I feel so bad
If you're in bed i'll come to you instead
It will be alright when you come tonight
I really miss you and I feel so sad

9. TAKE A CHANCE

You better find you some people
Find you some people who know
You better find you some people
Who have got something to show

Take a chance take a chance
Dont' break down don't break down
Take a chance
