I'll return under the cover of night. Oh, those were simpler times. We'd take a walk through the park. And go out after dark. Obsessed with only ourselves.
I came all this way. Just to say that's not what I want. Those smug lovers, they might as well. Just rub it in my face. . I guess that's when the penny finally dropped.
Well they're sure keen on dancin'. Those Hollywood kids. Those Hollywood kids got it made. When they act, big doors open. Those Hollywood kids. Those Hollywood kids got it made.
I don't mind if I hurt you. If I hurt you, if I hurt you. And leave this guilt behind. . So here I go burning bridges. Burning bridges, burning bridges.
How did you do it?. Well, she said, "smoke and mirrors. Anything for love, anything for love". . Low expectations. Breathing down my back. No grudge unworthy of holding.
So you've paid your dues. Those Elvis frauds, how they'll applaud. Farewell my friends. So in your rock'n'roll. And pretty soon those pretty girls. Will find your home.
(Well hey). Don't it feel like everybody is in on it. Cos all this talk of getting away. It just goes on and on. . Well tell him. and all his best men.
Well, what can you do. When all that surrounds you. Says slow down. Deckchairs and cigarettes. . They're sayin'. Let's go to San Diego. Hey thats where all the kids go.
Well what can you do. When all that surrounds you. So slow down. Deckchairs and cigarettes. They'll say, let's go to San Diego. Where all the crazy kids go.
Do I look like a car crash. Baby tell me it aint true. Cos if i look like a car crash. I don't know what the hell i'd do. . Everybody tells me i'm out of my mind.
So much for the city. Tell me that you'll dance to the end. Just tell me that you'll dance to the end. Hey hey you're The Monkeys. And people said you monkeyed around.
I was surfing this tidal wave of faded glories. A San Diego pad and five, six years walked straight by me. Well times have changed. And time sure has changed you.
Your cheatin' heart. Will make you weep. You'll cry and cry. And try to sleep. But sleep won't come. The whole night through. Your cheatin' heart. Will tell on you.
I walked out. You left me. You know I`m hurting for you. It seems now that it`s over. But there is nothing I can do. I don`t know. Why does love do this to me.
Sitting at the back of a smoke filled room. On a cold and sunny afternoon. Drinking red wine and counting the laugh lines. On the face of the girl who stands in the doorway.
Weary blues from waitin'. Lord, I've been waitin' too long. These blues have got me cryin'. Oh, sweet mama, please, come home. . The snow falls 'round my window.
You said that you'd never hurt me. Be the band-aid when I bleed. But I guess that that band-aid was all made of paper. 'Cause you never stuck to me. And you say that you conquered the lion.
Can't love or be loved. Can't touch or be touched. And he's lonely. . He can't love or be loved. Can't touch or be touched. Yes he's lonely. . And now he's all stressed up.
Can't love or be loved. Can't touch or be touched. And he's lonely. . He can't love or be loved. Can't touch or be touched. Yes he's lonely. . And now he's all stressed up.
Peeling the skin back from my eyes I felt surprised. That the time on the clock was the time I usually retired. To the place where I cleared my head of you.
