To Make That Same Mistake Again Lyrics
(R. Murrah, R. Leigh) Of all the broken hearts I've had This one hurts the worst His love flowed like a river Now I'm dying of thirst If loving him too much is why I lost him in the end Then I hope I can live long enough To make that same mistake again Well they say that love can be so st

Tokyo Storm Warning Lyrics
The sky fell over cheap Korean monster-movie scenery
And spilled into the mezzanine of the crushed capsule hotel
Between the Disney abattoir and the chemical refinery
And I knew I was in trouble but I thought I was in hell
So you look around the tiny room and you wonder where the hell you are
While the K.K.K. convention are all stranded in the bar
They wear hoods and carry shotguns in the main streets of Montgomery
But they're helpless here as babies 'cause they're only here on holiday
Chorus: What do we care if the world is a joke
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
We'll give it a big kiss
Hooked up Lyrics
Written by Jay Kay and Toby Smith I'm so glad I got you hooked up on my drug Everybody dance to the music Are you felling well now you caught this bug Everybody dance to the music Think last time I took an overdose Come on dance to the music Made me realise I came too close I bet ya wish
We'll give it a pokeWritten by Jay Kay and Toby Smith I'm so glad I got you hooked up on my drug Everybody dance to the music Are you felling well now you caught this bug Everybody dance to the music Think last time I took an overdose Come on dance to the music Made me realise I came too close I bet ya wish
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
We're only living this instant
The black sand stuck beneath her feet in a warm Sorrento sunrise
A barefoot girl from Naples or was it a Barcelona hi-rise
Whistles out the tuneless theme song on a hundred cheap suggestions
And a million false seductions and all those eternal questions
Chorus
So they flew the Super-Constellation all the way from Rimini
And feasted them on fish and chips from a newspaper facsimile
Now dead Italian tourists bodies litter up the Broadway
Some people can't be told you k
Remember a day Lyrics
Remember a day before today A day when you were young. Free to play alone with time Evening never come. Sing a song that can't be sung Without the morning's kiss Queen - you shall be it if you wish Look for your king Why can't we play today Why can't we stay that way Climb your f
now they have to learn the hard wayRemember a day before today A day when you were young. Free to play alone with time Evening never come. Sing a song that can't be sung Without the morning's kiss Queen - you shall be it if you wish Look for your king Why can't we play today Why can't we stay that way Climb your f
Holidays are dirt-cheap in the Costa del Malvinas
In the Hotel Argentina they can hardly tell between us
For Teresa is a waitress though she's now known as Juanita
In a tango bar in Stanley or in Puerto Margarita
She's the sweetest and the sauciest
The loveliest and the naughtiest
She's Miss Buenos Aires in a world of lacy lingerie
Chorus
Japanese God Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes
For all we know and all we care they might as well be Martians
They say gold paint on the palace gates comes from the teeth of pensioners
They're so tired of shooting protest singers

Wonder Why Lyrics
you know for certain that you are a liar you told me yourself you know the Truth but you won't put two and two together you know the sum would expose you Chorus and you wonder why you feel this way and you wonder how long it will take to heal and you wonder what you did to get here
at they hardly mention usyou know for certain that you are a liar you told me yourself you know the Truth but you won't put two and two together you know the sum would expose you Chorus and you wonder why you feel this way and you wonder how long it will take to heal and you wonder what you did to get here
While fountains fill with second-hand perfume
And sodden trading stamps
They'll hang the bullies and the louts that dampen down the day
Chorus
We braved the cold November air and the undertaker's curses
Saying "Take me to the Folies Bergere and please don't spare the hearses"
For he always had a dream of that revolver in your purse
How you loved him 'til you hated him and made him cry for mercy
He said "Don't ever mention my name there or talk of all the nights you cried
We've always been like worlds apart now you're seeing two nightmares collide"
Chorus
