Seven Day Weekend

See the girl in the cabriolet

I’m gonna make her mine someday

The traffic stops and she steps out

Every man starts to scream and shout

There’s a space in the week

It’s a date I can keep, oh yeah



Seven day, seven day, seven day

It’s a seven day weekend

Seven day, seven day, seven day

It’s a seven day weekend



See the girl in the pale peach dress

She’s got a body build to caress

Like a one-eyed cat

Outside a seafood store

She’s got me begging

More, more, more

I’ve been saving and saving

And saving my money

To spend it on her



* seven day, seven day, seven day

It’s a seven day weekend

Seven day (seven day)

Seven day (seven day) seven day

It’s a seven day weekend

Seven day (seven day)

Seven day (seven day) seven day

It’s a seven day weekend



(* repeat)



Seven day (saturday)

Seven day (every day) seven day

It’s a seven day weekend

Seven day (seven day)

Seven day (seven day) seven day

It’s a seven day weekend

Seven day (seven day)

Seven day (seven day) seven day

It’s a seven day weekend

So Hip It Hurts

Do you remember when men wore skirts? - so hip!

In kipper ties like jealous flirts - so hip!

In calico and in brocade shirts - so hip it hurts!



Do you remember when girls wore slacks? - so hip!

Traffic stops, men get heart attacks - so hip!

Seems so strange that they took it like that - so hip it hurts!



He’s so hip - so hip it...

She’s so hip - so hip it...

They’re so hip - so hip it hurts!

So hip it...



Whose the girl with the kinski eyes? - so hot!

They kind of face you could idolise - so what!

The kind of shape that gets advertised - so hip it hurts!



Once it was normal for a girl to curtsey

I’ll admit even though it hurts me

She’d squeeze informal until it screams for mercy

So hip it hurts!



He’s so hip - so hip it...

She’s so hip - so hip it...

They’re so hip - so hip it hurts!

So hip it hurts!

So hip it...



Afro-wigs on albino squares...

Polka-dots on alpaca flares...

Solar powered electric chairs...

So hip it hurts

The Greatest Love of All

Some men seek solace
Some take to drink
Some men find knowledge, yeah
At least that's what they think
Some take to violence
Streamlining their dreams
Some sit in silence
And learn what love can mean
Much further to go
Much further to crawl
But one day you'll find
The greatest love of all
The greatest love of all
The greatest love of all
The load is tough
The path is long
Strewn with rocks yeah
But you'd be wrong, so wrong
One single spark
Can start a prairie fire
When one man speaks truth
He fills the world with pure desire
Much further to go
Much further to crawl
But one day you'll find
The greatest love of all
The greatest love of all
The greatest love of all
One day united
One day free
You'll be rewarded
The one true path is unity
Fruit don't fall
Too far from the tree
One day we'll bathe
In true humility
Much further for truth
Much further to fall
I pray that you'll find
The greatest love of all
The greatest love of all
The greatest love of all

Stranger Things

I would walk away from you

If that’s what you wanted

But when you look for something new

You can be so disappointed



* it’s funny how it used to be

Me for you and you for me

I wish I knew why people change

Suddenly



** will we ever be the same again

Stranger things have happened

Will we ever feel this way again

Whatever will be will be



We were learning to be human

But it doesn’t take a degree

To know that what you’re looking for

Is not always what you see



(* repeat)

(** repeat two times)



Eternally



Sha la, sha la la

Sha la, sha la la

Sha la, sha la la

Tears Are Not Enough

Tears for souvenirs

Tears are not enough

Tears for shields and spears

Tears are not enough



Searching for certainty

When it’s such an unstable world

Searching for something good

And I’m looking for the real mccoy

Blueprint: that says that boy meets girl

Picture: girl meets boy

A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl

Picture in a magazine



_ chorus:



Yes you’ve shown your feelings

Yes you’ve shown you’re tough

Said things worth believing

Tears are not enough



Repeat chorus



Slam that door, slap my face

But I don’t love you anymore

Dry your eyes, sink or swim

You surmise you can’t win

We all make great mistakes



Blueprint: that says that boy meets girl

Picture: girl meets boy

A blueprint that says that the boy meets the girl

Picture in a magazine



_ chorus



Would I lie

Should I lie

Could I lie to you?

Excuses had their uses,

But now they’re all used up, all used up

Excuses had their uses,

But now they’re all used up, all used



_ chorus



Tears for souvenirs

Tears are not enough

Tears for shields and spears

Tears are nor enough
Why make the past your sacred cow?

I guess you’ve changed, you’ve changed and how

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Fruit’s grown rotten on the bough

Reap what you sow, with a counterfeit plough

Yeah, yeah, yeah



That was then but this is now

That was then but this is now



More sacrifices than an aztec priest

Standing here straining at that leash

All fall down

Can’t complain, musn’t grumble

Help yourself to another peace of apple crumble

And consequently:

Hearts of oak are charged and blistered

Russians should be baby-sitted

Americans enlisted

The Night You Murdered Love Song lyric

It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
From an early age
I was taught to respect
That a broken heart girl
Ain't a thing you collect
Close your eyes and say
Nothing lasts a day
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
Close your eyes and say
Honour love obey
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
January... February... March and April May
June July sees you go by
I see love walk away
Didn't use a blade
A bullet or a gun
You poisoned the moonlight
When you put out the sun
Close your eyes and say
Nothing lasts a day
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
Close your eyes and say
Honour love obey
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
January... February... March and April May
June July sees you go by
I see love walk away
Close your eyes and say
Nothing lasts a day
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
