Shirley Valentine (Spink)
She swapped a buck full of memories, the best time of her life,
For a bucket full of crazy, forgot she was his wife.
And she said that she would leave him, when the kids had flown the nest,
But by that time she’s 54 only troubled men were left.
No sunny beach to bare her breasts, nobody wants to know.
The credit crunch, cheap flights were gone, the runway’s covered in snow.
Believe the plot, believe the line,
Seemed so easy at the time,
When I watched the movie “Shirley Valentine”
Stay with me the dream is mine
Sit and wait I’ll bide my time,
When I watched the movie “Shirley Valentine”
Well, if there’s nothing to remember, there’s nothing to forget.
A simple case of a sunny space, no time to get upset.
“You’ve got to lose yourself to find yourself”, is what her best friend said,
So she packed the kids, and packed the car and emptied out the shed.
But she missed her chance she should have gone in 1989
When she took her friend to see the film “Shirley Valentine”
Believe the plot, believe the line,
Seemed so easy at the time,
When I watched the movie “Shirley Valentine”
Stay with me the dream is mine
Sit and wait I’ll bide my time,
When I watched the movie “Shirley Valentine”
She swapped a pocket full of memories, the best days of her life,
But it’s been so long since she’s seen the film “Shirley Valentine”
Believe the plot, believe the line,
Seemed so easy at the time,
When I watched the movie “Shirley Valentine”
Stay with me the dream is mine
Sit and wait I’ll bide my time,
When I watched the movie “Shirley Valentine”
Take Me Home and Love Me (It’s
Pursued by demons, but chasing rainbows every night
Your not that rainbow, but needs must when the Devil drives.
This is my life, these are the places I have been
Kebabs and nightclubs, and not much else in between
It’s me and you, you’re my ten to two
No one else wants to dance with me
And I’ve pissed all over my shoes
I’m like a photocopy of a photocopy of a picture in a frame
I said take me home and then love me once again.
I have a vision, a picture of beauty in my mind
You’re not that vision but I see passion in your eyes.
This is my story, these are the pages in between
Well, I’m the urban dandy searching for a lover’s dream.
It’s me and you, you’re my ten to two
No one else wants to dance with me
And I’ve pissed all over my shoes
I’m like a photocopy of a photocopy of a picture in a frame
I said take me home and then love me once again.
I’m like a photocopy of a photocopy of a picture in a frame
I said take me home and then love me once again.
‘Cause it’s a red-hot Saturday night but feels like February in the rain
I said take me home and then love me once again.
Take Me Home and Love Me (It’s Ten to Two) (Spink)
Pursued by demons, but chasing rainbows every night
Your not that rainbow, but needs must when the Devil drives.
This is my life, these are the places I have been
Kebabs and nightclubs, and not much else in between
It’s me and you, you’re my ten to two
No one else wants to dance with me
And I’ve pissed all over my shoes
I’m like a photocopy of a photocopy of a picture in a frame
I said take me home and then love me once again.
I have a vision, a picture of beauty in my mind
You’re not that vision but I see passion in your eyes.
This is my story, these are the pages in between
Well, I’m the urban dandy searching for a lover’s dream.
It’s me and you, you’re my ten to two
No one else wants to dance with me
And I’ve pissed all over my shoes
I’m like a photocopy of a photocopy of a picture in a frame
I said take me home and then love me once again.
I’m like a photocopy of a photocopy of a picture in a frame
I said take me home and then love me once again.
‘Cause it’s a red-hot Saturday night but feels like February in the rain
I said take me home and then love me once again.
This is the Song (Spink)
Well if you’re stuck in your room and you’re all alone tonight, this is the song
If you’re in the saloon bar but the juke box was set alight, this is the song
The dance is ending soon but you still hold each other tight, this is the song
You can howl at the moon, old son, if it makes you feel alright, this is the song
There’s Harpic on the carpet, yeah,
The stain won’t go away,
The song is a stain embedded in your brain,
For ever and a day, well,
The dream it’s so serene,
It comes to you at night,
The song is the thread running through your head,
When you turn off the light.
Girl boy love song, when it’s good and all goes wrong,
Mental health, mental strain, plug you right back in again,
Billy’s here, can of beer, never sober, never fear.
Moon is out in a spin, we’ll sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing.
If you’re stuck in your room and you’re all alone tonight, this is the song
If you’re in a saloon bar but the juke box was set alight, this is the song
The dance is ending soon but you still hold each other tight, this is the song
You can howl at the moon, old son, if it makes you feel alright, this is the song
Yeah, the song
Well do you remember me, the kid with the curly hair?
Well Toni & Guy have sorted me out, but the little kid’s still there.
Well I sang you a thousand songs, and you said I was odd,
I wish that you could see us now, we’re Billy Wears Dresses…Rock Gods!!
Girl boy love song, when it’s good and all goes wrong,
Mental health, mental strain, plug you right back in again,
Billy’s here, can of beer, never sober, never fear.
Moon is out in a spin, we’ll sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing.
If you’re stuck in your room and you’re all alone tonight, this is the song
If you’re in a saloon bar but the juke box was set alight, this is the song
The dance is ending soon but you still hold each other tight, this is the song
You can howl at the moon, old son, if it makes you feel alright, this is the song
Yeah, the song, Well, the song.
What Sheila Doesn’t Know (Loft/Spink)
What Sheila doesn’t know won’t hurt her,
If Sheila doesn’t know it’s only fair.
What Sheila doesn’t know won’t hurt her,
If we don’t tell Sheila, well Sheila won’t care.
Oh Sheila well I confess,
If Billy comes home in his dress
She’ll have a cardiac arrest.
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
What Sheila doesn’t know won’t hurt her,
If Sheila doesn’t know it’s only fair.
What Sheila doesn’t know won’t hurt her,
If we don’t tell Sheila, well Sheila won’t care.
Oh Sheila, all jokes apart,
Why do you keep Billy’s love in a dusty corner
In a box at the back of your cold, cold heart?
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
What Sheila doesn’t know won’t hurt her,
If Sheila doesn’t know it’s only fair.
What Sheila doesn’t know won’t hurt her,
If we don’t tell Sheila, well Sheila won’t care.
Oh freedom, well I confess,
Oh when the mood’s complete and the twilight comes
All the girls love a man in a bright green dress!
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba - Ba, ba, ba, ba ba-da-ba
What Sheila doesn’t know……(won’t hurt her)
