 Going Down To Liverpool

Hey there where you going with that load of nothing in your hand
I said hey there all through this green and pleasant land.
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life all the days of my life.

Hey there where you going with that UB40 in your hand
I said hey there all through this green and pleasant land.
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life all the days of my life

Hey now where you going with that UB40 in your hand
I said hey now all through this green and pleasant land.
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life all the days of my life

Manic Monday

Six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissing Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late because then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday because that's my funday
My I don't have to run day it's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train got to be to work by nine
And if I had an airplane I still couldn't make it on time
Because it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train but the boss is already there
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday because that's my funday
My I don't have to run day it's just another manic Monday

All of my nights why did my lover have to pick last night to get down?
Last night, last night doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down He tells me in his bedroom voice
Come on honey, let's go make some noise time it goes so fast
When you're having fun
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday because that's my funday
My I don't have to run day it's just another manic Monday

Walk Like An Egyptian

All the old paintings on the tombs they do the sand dance don't you know?
If they move too quick they're falling down like a domino.
All the bazaar men by the Nile they got the money on a bet.
Gold crocodiles they snap their teeth on your cigarette.
Foreign types with their hookah pipes say walk like an Egyptian.

The blond waitresses take their trays they spin around and they cross the floor;
They've got the moves you drop your drink then they bring you more.
All the school kids so sick of books they like the punk and the metal band.
When the buzzer rings they're walking like an Egyptian.
All the kids in the marketplace say walk like an Egyptian.

Slide your feet up the street bend your back shift your arm then you pull it back.
Life's hard you know so strike a pose on a Cadillac.
If you want to find all the cops they're hanging out in the donut shop.
They sing and dance they spin the clubs cruise down the block.
All the Japanese with their yen the party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know they walk the line like Egyptian.
All the cops in the donut shop say walk like an Egyptian

Eternal Flame

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming is this burning an eternal flame
I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming or is this burning an eternal flame

Say my name sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely and then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
Say my name sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely and then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

Circles In The Sky

In a window small and high a boy watches the sky turning to monochrome
And when they asked him do you know
Where in the whole world you will go he said I wanna go home
We're all here to wonder why it's a free fall until we fly
Then you and I will make circles in the sky

Too many birds up on a wire and they sway like a gospel choir
Making music so heavenly and the bees make a honeycomb
The road home is our home home will always be here with me
We're all here to wonder why it's a free fall until we fly
Then you and I will make circles in the sky

And if this is true then I belong to you and you belong to me:
In a window tall and wide a girl sits side by side with a boy no one sees but me
And she whispers in his ear I'll wait for you right here this is where we're supposed to be
Because we're all here to question why and it's a free fall until we fly
Then you and I will make circles in the sky
Never be alone the road home is our home
And that is why we'll make circles in the sky

Tear Off Your Own Head

Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what imitation is only you do
You can paint his nails make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline or do you?
Tear of your own head tear of your own head
It's a doll revolution

You can bat your lashes you can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers it looks so real
But one won't do, so collect the set dress him in pink ribbons
Put him in a kitchenette how does this feel?
Tear of your own head tear of your own head
It's a doll revolution

What's that sound It'll turn you around it's a doll revolution
They're taking over and they're tearing it down it's a doll revolution

You can pull and pinch him until he cries and squeals
You can twist his body until it faces backwards plastic features
Could make somebody a pretty little wife
But don't let anybody tell you how to live your life broken pieces
Tear off your own head tear off your own head
It's a doll revolution
