You're never here
to catch the tears
I cry for us
I cry for us

He’s got a powerful friend
who owes him nothing
and knows how to spend

I live my life on a stage
put it down on the page
I didn’t get where I am today
without writing a résumé
I didn’t get where I am today

Then and there
my life made sense
You were the evidence

(Do it. Do it. Do it now. Do it.)

I may be wrong, I may be right
so don't depend, I could lie
I haven't got a job to pay
but I could stay in bed all day

An impasse has been reached
with the teacher of the rich
To quit would be discreet if swift
but you know that I can't do that

Did you think it was wrong?
Do you find that it's worse than it was?
Has it gone on too long?
Do you mind that it hurts me? Because
You're breaking my heart

Thunder is silent before you
Roses bloom more to adore you too
Miracles happen
when you're around

Leave me alone
I’m only dreaming
(You gotta wake up!
You gotta wake up!)
I’m only dreaming

There's a crisis rumoured in the school
The boys have cut their hair short to look cool
Examination time is drawing near

When loneliness induces fear
like waves against a ramshackle pier
When thunder and rain
scar the windowpane once again
I want you near

Oh babe, why don’t we do it now?
Why don’t we do it now?
Why don’t we do it now?

And still you need to justify yourself
to others but not me
with that more-in-sorrow-than-anger routine

Money comes and money goes
Children cry and still suppose
there's got to be a future
Hold on

I was somebody falling
for one who was not
Somebody tired of dreaming

And I'll keep it confidential
It's secret, confidential
It may come as some surprise
but I can stay secret from prying eyes
so don't worry I'll keep this confidential
between you and me

That look in his eyes
a consolation prize
What he stops to ask you for
may come as a surprise

A silence filled the room
awkward as an elephant
In the crowded court of your love
I was now a supplicant

You, you were my lover
You were my hope, you were my dreams, my life
my passion, my love, my sex and my money
my violence, religion, injustice and death

And we were never holding back or worried that
time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
you could always rely on a friend

Together's amazing
Together we're blazing
Together we'll go all the way
Together
I'll cry with you
Together
I'll die with you
Together we'll go all the way

Life isn’t easy
so why don’t you stay
with the lover you need
and not the devil you pay?
For your own good
Call me tonight

Though the days are filled with pain
there is no one who'll explain
why I'm coming under friendly fire
shot in the fatal cause of rock 'n' roll
but there's nothing, really nothing, to say

Birthday Boy
so afraid
plays the machines
in the arcade

Come on, call me
Come on, call me
For your own good
call me tonight

Forever in love
Were you ever in love?
Forever in love
Were you ever in love?

Hay una discoteca por aqui?
Te quiero
Entiende usted?
Digame
Cuanto tiempo tengo que esperar?

This is a song
about boys and girls
You hear it
playing all over the world

Go on tell me that you love me
Tell me you dare
We may not venture out in public
At least I know you care
I want no guarantees
just as much as you can give of yourself
That's all I need
