People Who Have Great Lives
. . .


Left, right, in the middle of the night
We stay out late 'til we can't see straight
One, two, looking out for you
We'll be rocking up and down when the floor begins to shake

You, me, I need some company
Ask another girl if she'd like to take a chance
Yes, no, maybe she won't go
Do you wanna dance this dance with me?

Don't take that record it's lost its groove
Takes more than that to make me move
if you won't dance with me tonight
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can do it right.

Hot, cold, I'll never grow old
I've got fun on the brain
I've got life in my veins
Stop, go, what do you wanna know
I'm high as a kite I'm gonna dance all night

Up, down, I think I'm gonna drown
I've found the missing link when I've had a bit to drink
Quiet, loud, moving through the crowd
Do you wanna dance this dance with me?

Don't play record it's lost its groove
Takes more than that to make me move
if you won't dance with me tonight
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can do it right

Don't play that record it's lost its groove
Takes more than that to make me move
if you won't dance with me tonight
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can do it right

Hey, you, whatcha gonna do
You've got me down on my bended knees
You, me, I need some company
So do you wanna dance this dance with me?

Don't play that record it's lost its groove
Takes more than that to make me move
if you won't dance with me tonight
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can do it right

Don't play that record it's lost its groove
Takes more than that to make me move
if you won't dance with me tonight
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can,
I'll find another who can do it right

He could run like a tiger anywhere when he felt like everything was alright
Walk tall like a roman emperor like a cockatoo on his own
Away from the lights of home
In the room with his brothers and sisters
He didn't sleep at night kept his ears open for a key in the front door
He's home again, he's drunk again he's bouncing off the walls again
A fist comes down like a hammer on a drum
A hammer on a drum

Where is this love that will open the doors?
Where is this love to make me cry out for more?
Where is this love that comes from above?
Where is this love?

He'd fight like a soldier with the kids on the street
When he knew he couldn't talk it out
Walk proud like a man in space like a king
When he dreamed of living in a different place
He'd soar like an eagle on the hill
Where he went when he ran from the raging storm
He couldn't think at school couldn't take the pain
He cried out for love but no one came
Just the sound of thunder like a hammer on a drum

Where is this love that will open the doors?
Where is this love to make me cry out for more?
Where is this love that comes from above?
Where is this love?

He'd shiver like a runaway in the wind when the day turned grey
With the fear of night
He just keeps on running through the driving rain
He's home again, he's drunk again
A fist falls down like a hammer on a drum
A hammer on a drum

Where is this love that will open the doors?
Where is this love to make me cry out for more?
Where is this love that comes from above?
Where is this love?

. . .


As a randy mandy bigot rocker with a four on the floor and dolly's knockers,
Learned to live the American way - alligator shoes and a Chevrolet
Taco fumes, culture void, nickel slots, a racist Freud
Come on baby shoot - it's the wild west

I've learned to bow to number one, to monuments of dead and gone,
Blind obedience sing along knowing that the truth is wrong.
Now my body tries to cry, crippled with the urge to buy.
Come on baby shoot - it's the wild west

Manipulated destiny stripped of all my dignity
Sickened by hypocrisy turned from God to fantasy
This is man in all his wonder caged in beauty harnessed thunder
Come on baby shoot - it's the wild west

And I'm a product of your natural selection
No more rejection for this model of perfection
The fat man with a gun my image lingers
I want love when I snap my fingers

I've lived my life in the happy hour the 44 magnum feeling of power
Warms my bloated vulgar frame makes the dancers fear my name
Go go girls with greasy curls spread their legs around the world
Come on baby shoot - it's the wild west
Come on baby shoot - it's the wild west
Come on baby shoot - it's the wild west

Never Said I Loved You

There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners

Goodbye darling, I'll be on my way to work
Kiss my baby goodbye when she wakes up
Have you heard what's the chance of rain today?

There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners

Good morning Margaret did you have a lovely night?
My wife's shopping; if she phones I'll take her call
Have you heard what's the chance of rain today?

There won't be any prisoners (Nobody)
There won't be any prisoners (No children)
There won't be any prisoners (No women)
There won't be any prisoners (No men)

There won't be any prisoners (Nobody)
There won't be any prisoners (Nobody)
There won't be any prisoners (Nobody)
There won't be any prisoners (Nobody)

When the skies are burning white
Over mountains over seas
Terrible dreams disturb my sleep
Trigger finger pressing down on me

Be careful now they're watching you
Be careful now 'cause we don't trust you
Be careful now we're watching you
Be careful now 'cause we don't trust you

There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners

Goodbye darling, I'll be on my way to work
Kiss my baby goodbye when she wakes up
Have you heard what's the chance of rain today?

There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners
There won't be any prisoners

There won't be any prisoners (No white people)
There won't be any prisoners (No black people)
There won't be any prisoners (No red people)
There won't be any prisoners (No brown people)
There won't be any prisoners (No yellow people)

There won't be any prisoners (No white people)
There won't be any prisoners (No black people)
There won't be any prisoners (No red people)
There won't be any prisoners (No brown people)
There won't be any prisoners (No yellow people)

There won't be any prisoners (Nobody)
There won't be any prisoners (Nobody)
