Track Lyrics
Woman From Tokyo Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fly into the rising sun
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
[Chorus]
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
[Verse 2]
Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in a eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
[Chorus]
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
But I'm at home and I just don't belong
[Bridge]
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in her city of light
[Verse 3]
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
[Chorus]
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
[Outro]
(My woman from Tokyo)
(My woman from Tokyo)
(My woman from Tokyo)
(My woman from Tokyo)
(My woman from Tokyo)
Mary Long Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mary Long is a hypocrite
She does all the things that she tells us not to do
Selling filth from a corner shop
And knitting patterns to the high street queue
She paints roses, even makes them smell good
And then she draws titties on the khazy wall
Drowns kittens just to get a thrill
And writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle
[Chorus]
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?
[Verse 2]
Mary told Johnny not to write such trash
Said it was a waste of public money
She made a fuss, they made apologies
But everybody thought the show was funny
When the nation knew you'd had children
It came as such a surprise
We really didn't know you'd had it in you
How you did it we can only surmise
[Chorus]
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?
[Bridge]
Mary Long, you're not alone
But you're a long way behind our times
What we do in full frontal view
Is more honest than your clean-up mind
What I'm saying, Mary Long is
When you can spare a minute
Go find your friend the porny Lord
Dig your self a hole and jump in it
[Chorus]
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?
[Outro]
Mary Long
Mary Long
Mary Long
Mary Long
Oh, Mary Long
Mary Long
Super Trouper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was a young man when I died
I was a flash, I was full of pride
I gave it all, I gave my soul, I was so strong
I felt the truth, I felt the pain in every song
[Chorus]
How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I'm just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky
[Verse 2]
I was living in a rock and roll sky
I was a king, heavy on the style
Super Trouper, yes I know you well, making me shine
I couldn't see what you did to me. I was so blind
[Chorus]
How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I'm just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky
[Verse 3]
I want to be like I was before
But this time I'm going to know the score
I need a home I can leave behind knowing you're there
Super Trouper, I can see you now, return your stare
[Chorus]
How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I'm just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky
Smooth Dancer Lyrics
[Pre-Chorus]
Black suede, don't mean you're good for me
Black suede, just brings your mystery
I want to be inside of you
But you're black and I don't know what to do
[Chorus]
You're a smooth dancer
But it's alright
Because I'm a freelancer
And you can never break me though you try
To make me think you're magical
[Verse 1]
Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun
Because it don't shine nightly
Don't you look at me because I'm going to shake free
You'd better hang on tightly
You want to rule the world, but you're acting like a girl
Who's got a false pregnancy
You've swollen up inside with nothing but your pride
And yet you keep on dancing
[Pre-Chorus]
Black suede, don't waste your time on me
Black suede, I sense your mockery
I tried to go along with you
But you're black and I know just what to do
[Chorus]
You're a smooth dancer
But it's alright
Because I'm a freelancer
And you can never break me though you try
To make me think you're magical
[Verse 2]
I think you're crazy, your two-timing ways
They don't bother me none
You'd better do it right because one day or night
I'm going to walk to freedom
You know I loved you once and I want to love again
But you don't give nothing
You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize
Baby, I ain't bluffing
[Pre-Chorus]
Black suede, don't waste your time on me
Black suede, don't bring me misery
I tried to be inside of you
But you're black and now I know what to do
[Chorus]
You're a smooth dancer
But it's alright
Because I'm a freelancer
And you can never break me though you try
To make me think you're magical
[Verse 3]
Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun
Because it don't shine nightly
Don't you look at me because I'm going to shake free
You'd better hang on tightly
You know I loved you once and I want to love again
But you don't give nothing
You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize
Baby, I ain't bluffing
[Outro]
Baby, you can rock'n'roll
But you can never show your soul, smooth dancer
Baby, you can rock'n'roll
But you can never show your soul, smooth dancer
Rat Bat Blue Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro 00:00-00:30]
[Verse 1]
Hey baby, what you gonna do
When the lights go up on you?
What's your name, can I drive you home?
Sweet woman, are you all alone?
[Pre-Chorus]
You're the one for me
I'm gonna keep you busy as a bee
Could be, could be
[Chorus]
Ooh, rat bat-bat-bat blue
Woo
Rat bat blue
Rat bat blue
[Verse 2]
Now, get up woman, don't be slow
It's getting late and I wanna go
No cause for acting big
Got to love, got to live
[Pre-Chorus]
Stick around with me
I'm gonna show you things you never thought you'd see, you'd see
[Chorus]
Ooh, rat bat-bat-bat blue
You're so fine
Rat bat blue
[Instrumental Break 02:09-04:08]
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 3]
Get out, you didn't understand
I'm a hard lovin' man
No way you can satisfy
The way you look, the way you lie
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you shut the door
Make sure I don't see you 'round here no more, no more
[Chorus]
Ooh, rat bat-bat-bat blue
Rat bat blue
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Rat bat blue
Oh-oh-oh
All right
Ow ow
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Rat bat blue
Rat bat-bat-bat-bat bat blue
Place in Line Lyrics
[Verse ]
I'm living in this line
I know my place
Could think of no way
Of edging along in a loser's race
[Chorus]
Oh, the line was moving slowly
Day by night
Everybody's shuffling on to keep a place in the line
Place in the line
[Verse 2]
Nine long years I've been in line
Getting nowhere
There is no reason for this line
Yeah, I don't care
[Chorus]
Oh, everybody's standing
In the burning sun
Everybody's shuffling on, keeping a place in the line
Place in the line
[Bridge]
Don't you think we're gonna make it
Don't you think we're gonna make it
Don't you think we're gonna make it now
We've got a place in line
We're gonna make it some time somehow, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Organ Solo]
[Bridge/Outro]
Don't you think we're gonna make it
Don't you think we're gonna make it
Don't you think we're gonna make it now
We've got a place in line
We're gonna make it some time somehow, alright
Our Lady Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thinking out of line just to make the sun shine, anyway
I can be like you
Fighting with the truth, trying to hide a fool in a fantasy
Oh, I'm dreaming
Lay me down, lay me down, take me now
[Chorus]
Our lady
Our lady
Our lady of the skies
[Verse 2]
Hiding in the sun like a loaded gun, reality
Aiming high at my dream
But I can get along, she makes me strong, anyway
Oh, I'm dreaming
And there is no other way
[Chorus]
Our lady
Our lady
Our lady of the skies
[Verse 3]
Flying in the sky with a bunch of high fidelity
I can hear your song
Offer me a ring just to show me your sincerity
Oh, I'm dreaming
Let me go, let me go
[Chorus]
Our lady
Our lady
Our lady of the skies
