It Must Be Obvious

(Tennant/Lowe)

Are you feeling alright?
It's easy, we've been there before
But it feels like the flight
Of the von Trapps, does that mean it's war?
Oh no
From my head to my toes
I'm in love with you
Do you think it shows?

We're meant to be friends
That's what it says in the script
Is it really the end
If sometimes I stray just a bit?
Oh no
It should be poetry, not prose
I'm in love with you
Do you think it shows?

And everyone knows when they look at us
Of course they do, it must be obvious
I never told you, now I suppose
That you're the only one who doesn't know

You were different when
We met in an ordinary way
I didn't intend
To interrupt your own shadowplay
Oh no
I won't upset the status quo
I'm in love with you
Do you think it shows?

And everyone knows when they look at us
Of course they do, it must be obvious
You've never asked me and I'm surprised
That you're the only one who hasn't tried

Everyone knows when they look at us
'Course they do, it must be obvious
I never asked you, now I suppose
That you're the only one who doesn't know

Aah
When they look at us
It must be obvious
Oooh

We All Feel Better In The Dark

(Tennant/Lowe)

(The secrets of sexual attraction)

(Get down get down get down get down
Get down get down get down get down)

I want it, I want it, you know I really want it!
I want it, I want it, you know I really want it!
I want it, I want it, you know I really want it!

We all feel better in the dark
We all feel better in the dark
(Get down get down get down get down
Get down get down get down get down - oooh)

My body surges with energy, shivers down my spine
I look deep into your eyes and I know that you'll be mine

(Pump that beat p-pump that beat
Pump that beat p-pump that beat
Pump that beat p-pump that beat
Pump that beat p-pump that beat - aah
Pump that beat p-pump that beat (yeah yeah)
Pump that beat p-pump that beat (yeah yeah)
Pump that beat p-pump that beat (yeah yeah)
Pump that beat p-pump that beat) (yeah yeah)
(Yeeaaaaaah)

We all feel better in the dark
(Get down get down get down get down
Get down get down get down get down)
We all feel better in the dark
(Get down get down get down get down
Get down get down get down get down)

The music's pumping through me, I rush into the crowd
The sweat is pouring off me, the beat is dead loud
I want someone to love me and I know I want it now
These feelings that I'm feeling must be satisfied somehow
You want it, you want it, you know you really want it!
You want it, you want it, you know you really want it!

I want it, I want it, you know I really want it!

We all feel better in the dark
(Get down get down get down get down
Get down get down get down get down)
We all feel better in the dark (Oooh)

We all feel better in the dark

Bet She's Not Your Girlfriend

(Tennant/Lowe)

(Whisper whisper whisper whisper)
Whisper 'round the town
'Cause you're my friend and that's the end
For you're the only one in town
Who they will beg to hang around with
You're so beautiful and calm
But with an attitude that says:
"Hands-off, you're just not good enough"

Every boy, a man feeling lonely
Can't understand why you'd be with me
Furthermore, we laugh and we draw
More attention everyday, so they say:

(Girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no
(Oh oh oh girlfriend) You've got to make her happy
(Oh oh oh girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no
(Oh oh oh girlfriend) You've got to make her happy

Well, that's as maybe, in a way, but it's okay
We laugh, touché, while they stare in front of us
They draw away, as if to say:
"Who are these people anyway?
How dare they confront us?"

Every boy, a man feeling lonely
Can't understand why you'd be with me
Furthermore, we laugh and we draw
More attention everyday, so they say:

Oh no no no
Oh no no no
(Girlfriend oh oh oh girlfriend
Oh oh oh girlfriend oh oh oh girlfriend)

I'd rather die, than satisfy their curiosity
I'm kind of shy and dry and verging on ugly
They wonder what that I have got, that they have not
They'll never understand that none of that matters

Every boy, a man feeling lonely
Can't understand why you'd be with me
Furthermore, we laugh and we draw
More attention everyday, so they say:

(Oh oh oh girlfriend oh oh oh girlfriend
Oh oh oh girlfriend)
Bet she's not your, bet she's not your
Bet she's not your, bet she's not your
(Oh oh oh girlfriend)
Bet she's not your girlfriend, oh no

(Oh oh oh girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend
(Oh oh oh girlfriend) You've got to make her happy
(Oh oh oh girlfriend) Bet she's not your girlfriend
(Oh oh oh girlfriend) You've got to make her happy

Bet she's not your girlfriend

Losing My Mind

(Sondheim)

The sun comes up - I think about you
The coffee cup - I think about you
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind

The morning ends - I think about you
I talk to friends and think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind?

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left - not going right

I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing
My mind?

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left - not going right

I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?

Or am I losing
Losing my mind?

You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?

Were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
Losing my mind?
Losing my mind?

Miserablism

(Tennant/Lowe)

It seems to me there's something serious beginning
A new approach found to the meaning of life
Deny that happiness is open as an option
And disappointment disappears over night

Say that love is an impossible dream
Face the facts, that's what it's always been
Relax, what you see is what you've seen
What you get, is a new philosophy

(That's what you got, that's what you get)
(That's what you got, that's what you get)

Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't
Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't

Meanwhile your life is still directed as a drama
With realism on the sparsest of sets
Every performance tends to reach the same conclusion
No happy endings but a message to depress

Saying life is an impossible scheme
That's the point of this philosophy

Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't
Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't

But if is wasn't and isn't were
You can't be sure, but you might find ecstasy

(Oh no)

Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning
(get get get)
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth
You know life is an impossible scheme
And love an imperceptible dream

(That's what you got, that's what you get)
(That's what you got, that's what you get)

Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't
Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't
Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't
Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't
Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't
Miserablism, is is and isn't isn't
Miserable

Hey, Headmaster

(Tennant/Lowe)

Hey, headmaster, what's the matter with you?
Why're you always so serious, why so blue?
All the kids in the school have seen you
Being patient with the boys who fool you
When you used to hit them with your ruler
So independent too
Hey, headmaster, what's the matter with you?

There's a crisis rumoured in the school
The boys have cut their hair short to look cool
Examination time is drawing near
Disintegration of the football team
No one seems to want to play for real
In classroom, club or pool
Hey, headmaster, what're you gonna do?

There's an invitation in the post
To a reading party on the coast
Pack your bags up, you old bibliophile
Get together with your friends who will
Give you time to think and time to kill
With independent hosts
Hey, headmaster, aren't you gonna go?
Hey, headmaster, aren't you gonna go?

What Keeps Mankind Alive?

(Brecht/Weill)

You gentlemen who think you have a mission
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
Should first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins
You lot who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
Should learn for all time how the world is run
However much you twist, whatever lies you tell
Food is the first thing, morals follow on
So first make sure that those who now are starving
Get proper helpings, when we all start carving

What keeps mankind alive, the fact that millions
Are daily tortured, stifled, punished, silenced, oppressed
Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance
At keeping its humanity repressed
For once, you must not try to shirk the facts:
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

You say the girls may strip with your permission (whoa!)
You draw the line dividing art from sin
So first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins
You lot who bank on your desires and our disgust
Should learn for all time how the world is run
Whatever lies you tell, however much you twist
Food is the first thing, morals follow on
So first make sure that those who now are starving
Get proper helpings, when we all start carving

Mankind can keep alive, thanks to its brilliance
At keeping its humanity repressed
For once, you must not try to shirk the facts:
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

Shameless

(Tennant/Lowe)

(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh) [Hello]
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh) [Darling! Mmm...]
[How dare you! Do you know who I am?]
[You look fabulous! Mmm...]

I know what you think
It's clear as mud in your eyes
We're the plastic poseurs and prostitutes
You've obviously come to despise

But you don't know nothing
You're not hot enough to matter
You don't understand it's the glamorous life
A dream that no one can shatter

We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all

I'm ambitious
Believe me, I'm going to be big
I'm a slave to glamour
Applause and clamour
My make-up, my wardrobe, my wigs

Don't call me pathetic
I'm harder than you'll ever guess
Relentlessly tough, for when the going gets rough
The tough get their picture in the press

We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all

(Anything, anything, anything at all)
(We'll do anything, anything, anything at all)
(We'll do anything, anything, anything at all)
(We'll do anything, anything, anything at all)
[It's going perfectly alright]
[How dare you! Do you know who I am?]
[It's an absolute disgrace]

Tell me you love me
Admit it, you're really impressed
Would it not amuse you
For me to seduce you
Have you ever seen me undressed?

We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (Give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all

We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (Give me fifteen minutes)

We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything
With anyone
Go absolutely anywhere
For anything
At all

(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh) [I'm terribly sorry!]
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)

Too Many People

(Tennant/Lowe)

I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once

The husband or the hedonist
The businessman or the communist
The artist or the showbiz creep
The lover or the nervous geek
The question of identity is one that's always haunted me
Whoever I decide to be depends on who is with me

I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once

The tactless twit putting his foot in it
Or the sensitive soul who's a role model
The urban jet setter - never at home
Or the country recluse - just leave me alone
Extrovert or introvert

Love is kind and love hurts
Rebellion or conformity
What is my identity?

I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once

The intellectual and bon-viveur
or the naive simpleton, so immature
A devoted son and family man
Or the wicked uncle who doesn't give a damn
How often these have tempted me
The question of identity depends on what I'm meant to be

I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people
I sometimes think that I'm too many people
Too many people, too many people at once

Violence [Haçienda version]

(Tennant/Lowe)

The sons and brothers
Fighting for another cause
Anything to give their lives some meaning
Busy with their guns and dreaming
Far away from here
Said they would act (said they would act)
In self-defence

And all the others
Running 'round so hot and bothered
Anything to give their lives some meaning
In the evening
Running around with guns and
Said they would act (said they would act)
in self-defence
With violence

Violence breeds
Violence
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Violence breeds
Violence
(Ooh yeah, violence breeds violence)
(Ooh yeah, breeds yeah, breeds yeah)
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

The son and brother
When he gets home
He gives someone some love
And mutters: "Woman, (mutters woman)
You'll never understand (never understand)
I did what I said (did what I said)
In self-defence
With violence"

Violence breeds
Violence
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Violence breeds
Violence
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)

(Ooh yeah, violence)
(Ooh yeah, violence breeds violence)

Decadence

(Tennant/Lowe)

You don't care about nothing
So you don't care about love
If you want me to come back
You'd better change

You'd better give up talking about money
Begin thinking of love
If you want me to come back
You'd better change

You'd better change for the better
It cost more than dollars and cents
Take it from me
There's got to be
An end to this decadence
This decadence

You don't care about people
So you don't care about pain
If you want me to come back
You'd better change

You'd better change for the better
Start using some common sense
Take it from me
There's got to be
An end to this decadence

For decadence is fatal
It's the beginning of the end
In self-defence
I cannot recommend
This decadence

You don't care about real life
You're too distant and strange
If you want me to come back
You'd better change for the better

It may be rather intense
Stop this caprice
You've got to cease
This fin de siécle pretence

For decadence is fatal
It's the beginning of the end
In consequence
I cannot recommend
This decadence
This decadence
This decadence
This decadence

If Love Were All

(Coward)

I believe in doing what I can
In crying when I must
In laughing when I choose

Hey ho, if love were all
I should be lonely

I believe the more you love a man
The more you give your trust
The more you're bound to lose
Although when shadows fall
I think if only
Somebody splendid really needed me
Someone affectionate and dear
Cares would be ended if I knew that he
Wanted to have me near
But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just a talent to amuse

Hey ho, if love were all
Hey ho, if love were all
