Lyrics
DISC 1
1. HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE
I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.
Hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah oh oh oh run to me.
2. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

3. PICTURE THIS
All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you
All I want is a room with view, oh-oh
I will give you my finest hour
The one I spent watching you shower
I will give you my finest hour, oh yeah.
All I want is a photo in my wallet
A small remembrance of something more solid
All I want is a picture of you.
Picture this - a day in December
Picture this - freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only oh-oh
Picture this - a sky full of thunder
Picture this - my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you, oh yeah.
All I want is 20-20 vision
A total portrait with no omissions
All I want is a vision of you, oh-oh
If you can picture this - a day in December
Picture this - freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only oh-oh
Picture this - a sky full of thunder
Picture this - my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you
Get a pocket computer
Try to do what you used to do yeah.
4. FADE AWAY (AND RADIATE)
Oooo baby, I hear how you spend night time
Wrapped like candy in a blue, blue neon glow
Fade away and radiate
Oooo baby, watchful lines
Vibrate soft in brainwave time
Silver pictures move so slow
Golden tubes faintly glow.
Electric faces seem to merge
Hidden voices mock your words
Fade away and radiate.
The beams become my dream
My dream is on the screen.
Dusty frames that still arrive
Die in 1955.
Fade away and radiate.
The beams become my dream
My dream is on the screen.
Fade away and radiate.
5. PRETTY BABY
Stars live in the evening
But the very young need the sun, uh-huh
Pretty baby, you look so heavenly
A neo-nebular from under the sun
I was forming, some say I had my chance
The boys were falling like an avalanche.
Ya ya baby
La Dolce Vita is a magic dance
No-one was listening
Pretty baby, un petite ingenue
A teenage starlet, I fell in love with you.
You, you with the comb
You look OK in every way (every way)
Ah, I should have known
You'd look at me and look away (and look away - oh).
Pretty baby, you look so heavenly
A neo-nebular from under the sun
Eyes that tell me incense and peppermints
Your looks are larger than life, long live innocence
Petite ingenue, I fell in love with you
Pretty baby, I fell in love with you, whoah oh
Pretty baby, oh oh
Pretty baby, whoah oh, I fell in love with you.
6. I KNOW BUT I'DON'T KNOW
Hey, y'know?
Uh, I dunno!
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know
I know but I don't know.
I give but I don't get
I will but I won't yet
I lose but I don't bet
I'm your dog but not your pet.
I know but I don't care
Then I know but I don't see
Now I see but I don't know
I care but I don't care.
I could but I won't be
You can but not with me
It's all a mystery
Locked out without a key.
Now I care but I don't care
And I know but I don't see
Now I see but I don't know
I know but I don't know.
Now I know that you don't know
And I see that you don't see
I care but I don't care
I don't care that you don't know.
7. 11:59
Leaning in your corner like a candidate for wax
Sidewalk social scientist don't get no satisfaction from Your cigarette
It's ten to ten and time is running out
Lock up all your memories, get outa here, you know that we Can run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive
Pumping like a fugitive in cover from the night
Take it down the freeway like a bullet to the ocean
Wait until the morning, take tomorrow by the hand
Take it down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can Run
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive
Hanging on a frequency and burning like a fire
Boy you've got the motion down, it's getting late, I'm Tired and I've lost control
Don't leave me here, time is running out
Take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean, we can Run.
Today can last another million years
Today could be the end of me
It's 11:59, and I want to stay alive.
8. WILL ANYTHING HAPPEN
I always said you could make it
I know what I said and I meant it
I always liked the way you played guitar
I always knew that someday you'd go far
An' if you do, will anything happen?
Will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
You said you'd be through here again
Please don't forget I'm here waiting
You always said that you would never change
Like the people that you've met and the places that you've Been.
An' if you do, will anything happen?
Will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?.
I always said you could make it
Just don't forget that I said it
Cause I always liked the way you played guitar
And I always knew that someday you'd go far
An' if you do, will anything happen?
Will it come true, will anything happen?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?
Will I see you again?.
An' if I do, will anything happen?.
9. SUNDAY GIRL
I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl.
Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I say awake all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me.
She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl.
Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl.
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I say awake all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come see
What your loving means to me
I got the blues.
10. HEART OF GLASS
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind.
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do.
Once I had a love and it was a gas

Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind.
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide

We coulda made it cruising, yeah.
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light.
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind.

And I'm gonna hear bells ring
Cause I'm gonna love you too.

12. JUST GO AWAY
O Don't ya know
Don't wanna see you any more
Put up or shut up
You spell, you read
Door
You got a big mouth and I'm happy to see
Your foot is firmly entrenched where a molar should be
If you talk much louder you could get an award
From the federal communications board.
Don't be cruel
Be a thing-sweet thing as a rule
Don't be sad
I left you in the street, you're pre-fab
I had to get away.
Don't go away sad
Don't go pre-fab
Don't go be bad

Just go away (go away).

Of course cool rhymes with fool.
Don't go be bad
