VERONICA
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
As recorded by Elvis Costello
 
 
IS IT ALL IN THAT PRETTY LITTLE HEAD OF YOURS?
WHAT GOES ON IN THAT PLACE IN THE DARK?
WELL, I USED TO KNOW A GIRL AND I WOULD HAVE SWORN
THAT HER NAME WAS VERONICA.
 
WELL, SHE USED TO HAVE A CAREFREE MIND OF HER OWN
AND A DELICATE LOOK IN HER EYE.
THESE DAYS, I'M AFRAID, SHE'S NOT EVEN SURE
IF HER NAME IS VERONICA.

DO YOU SUPPOSE, THAT WAITING HANDS ON EYES,
VERONICA HAS GONE TO HIDE?
AND ALL THE TIME SHE LAUGHS AT THOSE WHO SHOUT HER NAME
AND STEAL HER CLOTHES.
VERONICA, VERONICA. (VERONICA, VERONICA)
 
DID THE DAYS DRAG BY? DID THE FAVOURS WANE?
DID HE ROAM DOWN THE TOWN ALL THE TIME?
WILL YOU WAKE FROM YOUR DREAM, WITH A WOLF AT THE DOOR,
REACHING OUT FOR VERONICA?
 
WELL, IT WAS ALL OF SIXTY-FIVE YEARS AGO,
WHEN THE WORLD WAS THE STREET WHERE SHE LIVED.
AND A YOUNG MAN SAILED ON A SHIP IN THE SEA
WITH A PICTURE OF VERONICA.
 
ON THE "EMPRESS OF INDIA",
AND AS SHE CLOSED HER EYES UPON THE WORLD
AND PICKED UPON THE BONE OF LAST WEEK'S NEWS,
SHE SPOKE HIS NAME OUT LOUD AGAIN.
 
DO YOU SUPPOSE, THAT WAITING HANDS ON EYES,
VERONICA HAS GONE TO HIDE?
AND ALL THE TIME SHE LAUGHS AT THOSE WHO SHOUT HER NAME
AND STEAL HER CLOTHES.
VERONICA, VERONICA. (VERONICA, VERONICA)
 
VERONICA SITS IN HER FAVOURITE CHAIR
AND SHE SITS VERY QUIET AND STILL.
AND THEY CALL HER A NAME THAT THEY NEVER GET RIGHT
AND IF THEY DON'T THEN NOBODY ELSE WILL.
 
BUT SHE USED TO HAVE A CAREFREE MIND OF HER OWN,
WITH A DEVILISH LOOK IN HER EYE.
SAYING, "YOU CAN CALL ME ANYTHING YOU LIKE,
BUT MY NAME IS VERONICA."
 
DO YOU SUPPOSE, THAT WAITING HANDS ON EYES,
VERONICA HAS GONE TO HIDE?
AND ALL THE TIME SHE LAUGHS AT THOSE WHO SHOUT HER NAME
AND STEAL HER CLOTHES.
VERONICA, VERONICA.
 
OH -
OH, OH, OH, VERONICA.

PADS, PAWS AND CLAWS
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
As recorded by Elvis Costello
 
OW!
 
SHE'S A FELINE TORMENTOR,
NOT ANY VAUDEVILLE WIFE,
BUT WITH A DRUNK-TOWN LAMENT
HE LEADS HER A MISERABLE LIFE.
BUT WHEN HE'S FULL OF THAT BEER-CHAMPAGNE,
SHE PADS, PAWS, PADS, PAWS AND CLAWS
 
AND IF HE SHOULD WAKE UP IN SOME TERRIBLE DIVE,
AND HE DON'T KNOW IF HE'S SO-SO,
BUT HE'S SO SURPRISED HE'S ALIVE.
"COME ON LITTLE HONEY, LET ME UNDER YOUR HIVE."
SHE PADS, PAWS, PADS, PAWS AND CLAWS
 
SHE PADS, PADS AROUND THE BEDROOM,
PRACTISING WAYS TO FLIRT.
HE PAWS, POURS ANOTHER DRINK
AND ANYTHING IN A SKIRT.
ANYTHING WEARING A NECKLACE,
HE THINKS OF CLAWS SCRATCHING HIS BACK,
HE'S GOING OUT THERE, HE'S NOT COMING BACK.
 
SHE'S GOT SPIDER-LEG FINGERS,
SHARPENED WHENEVER HE STRAYS.
AND SHE CARRIES A BIRD-PURSE,
WITH ALL OF HER WOMANLY WAYS.
'TIL HE'S DRINKING HAIRSPRAY,
SHE KNOWS THAT HE NEVER WOULD DARE,
SHE COULD BE IN PICTURES
IF SHE WASN'T ALL COVERED IN FUR
 
HE'S COMING HOME NOW AND HERE'S THE SURPRISE,
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE LIES THAT HE TRIES.
SHE CUT HIM DOWN TO HER FAVOURITE SIZE,
SHE PADS, PAWS, PADS, PAWS AND CLAWS.
 
SHE PADS, PAWS, PADS, PAWS AND CLAWS.
 
SHE PADS, PAWS, PADS, PAWS AND CLAWS, YEAH.
 
WHOA!
 
OH! OH! OH! OH! OH! OH!
HEY YEAH!
DOO!
OH YEAH!
PADS, PAWS, PADS, PAWS, PADS, PAWS AND CLAWS.
OH!

MY BRAVE FACE
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
 
 
MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE FACE.
 
 
I'VE BEEN LIVING IN STYLE,
UNACCUSTOMED AS I AM
TO THE LUXURY LIFE,
I'VE BEEN HITTING THE TOWN
AND IT DIDN'T HIT BACK.
 
I'VE BEEN DOING THE ROUNDS,
UNACCUSTOMED AS I AM
TO THE TIME ON MY HANDS.
NOW I DON'T HAVE TO TELL ANYBODY
WHEN I'M GONNA GET BACK.
 
EVER SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
I'VE HAD THIS SENTIMENTAL INCLINATION
NOT TO CHANGE A SINGLE THING.
AS I PULL THE SHEETS BACK ON THE BED,
I WANT TO GO BURY MY HEAD IN YOUR PILLOW.
 
NOW THAT I'M ALONE AGAIN, I CAN'T STOP BREAKING DOWN AGAIN,
THE SIMPLEST THINGS SET ME OFF AGAIN,
TAKE ME TO THAT PLACE
WHERE I CAN'T FIND MY BRAVE FACE,
WHERE I CAN'T FIND MY BRAVE FACE,
MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE FACE.
 
MY BRAVE FACE.
 
I'VE BEEN LIVING A LIE,
UNACCUSTOMED AS I AM
TO THE WORK OF A HOUSEWIFE.
I'VE BEEN BREAKING UP
DIRTY DISHES AND BEEN THROWING THEM AWAY.
 
EVER SINCE YOU LEFT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO
COMPOSE A "BABY, WILL YOU PLEASE COME HOME" NOTE
MEANT FOR YOU.
AS I CLEAR AWAY ANOTHER UNTOUCHED TV DINNER
FROM THE TABLE I LAID FOR TWO.
 
NOW THAT I'M ALONE AGAIN, I CAN'T STOP BREAKING DOWN AGAIN,
THE SIMPLEST THINGS SET ME OFF AGAIN
TAKE ME TO THAT PLACE.
WHERE I CAN'T FIND MY BRAVE FACE,
WHERE I CAN'T FIND MY BRAVE FACE,
MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE, MY BRAVE FACE.
 
MY BRAVE FACE.

YOU'RE SUCH A HOPELESS ROMANTIC,
SHE TOLD ME YOU'RE SO PREDICTABLE AND NICE,
SHE ONLY DID YOU A FAVOUR ONCE OR TWICE, (once or) ONCE OR TWICE.
 
SHE MAKES ME GO SO WRONG.
SO WHY DON'T YOU LIE BACK AND ENJOY IT?
OH, MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR AND STRONG.
YES, SHE SAYS I'M JUST THE BOY FOR IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I SHOULD BE TELLING YOU.

IF YOU CAN ANSWER THIS, YOU CAN HAVE THE MOON.
THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE,
ANYWAY YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A LOVELY VIEW.
WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO DO?

LIKE BUTTERFLIES ARE BUZZING 'ROUND MY HEAD,
WHEN I'M ALONE, I THINK OF YOU
AND THE LIFE WE'D LEAD IF WE COULD ONLY BE FREE
FROM THESE DISTRACTIONS.
UH, UH, UH, UH.

WHILE THE TELEPHONE RINGS ON THE KITCHEN WALL.
PRETEND WE'RE NOT AT HOME AND THEY'LL DISAPPEAR - UH-UH -.
I WANT TO BE WITH YOU,
TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO, NOTHING IS TOO SMALL,
AWAY FROM ALL THIS JAZZ WE COULD DO ANYTHING AT ALL.

AND THE THINGS WE'D DO IF WE COULD ONLY BE THROUGH

I'LL FIND A PEACEFUL PLACE
FAR AWAY FROM THE NOISE OF A BUSY DAY.
WHERE WE CAN SPEND OUR NIGHTS COUNTING SHOOTING STARS.

HEY,
WHY CAN'T WE TRAVEL A CONTINUOUS LINE?
MAKE LOVE RELIABLE COVENANT ALL THE TIME.
UP AND DOWN THE HILLS I GO,
I GOT TO KNOW, I GOT TO KNOW.
 
IS BETTER TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
THAN TO GO FOR A WALK IN THE DARK?
IS IT BETTER TO LOVE THAN TO GIVE IN TO HATE?
YEAH, WE'D BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF EACH OTHER,
AVOID SLIPPING BACK OFF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW,
IT'S BETTER BY FAR THAN GETTING STUCK
IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT.
 
WELL, FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF, LITTLE GIRL,
IT DON'T GO NOWHERE AT ALL.
IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN A TAPE LOOP IN A BIG DANCE HALL.
 
OH NOW!
(You've got me running in a figure of eight)
(Don't know if I'm coming or going, early or late)
EARLY OR LATE.
ROUND AND ROUND I GO,
I WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW.
 
SAY, (is it better to love one another than to go for a walk in the dark?)
(Is it better to love than to give in to hate?)
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH.
YES, WE'D BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF ONE ANOTHER

THIS ONE, THIS ONE, THIS ONE, THIS ONE.
 
DID I EVER TAKE YOU IN MY ARMS,
LOOK YOU IN THE EYE, TELL YOU THAT I DO?
DID I EVER OPEN UP MY HEART,
LET YOU LOOK INSIDE?
 
IF I NEVER DID IT, I WAS ONLY WAITING
FOR A BETTER MOMENT THAT DIDN'T COME.
THERE NEVER COULD BE A BETTER MOMENT
THAN THIS ONE, THIS ONE.
 
THE SWAN IS GLIDING ABOVE THE OCEAN,
A GOD IS RIDING UPON HIS BACK.
HOW CALM THE WATER AND BRIGHT THE RAINBOW
FADE THIS ONE TO BLACK.
 
DID I EVER TOUCH YOU ON THE CHEEK,
SAY THAT YOU WERE MINE, THANK YOU FOR THE SMILE?
DID I EVER KNOCK UPON YOUR DOOR
AND TRY TO GET INSIDE?
 
IF I NEVER DID IT, I WAS ONLY WAITING
FOR A BETTER MOMENT THAT DIDN'T COME.
THERE NEVER COULD BE A BETTER MOMENT
THAN THIS ONE, THIS ONE.
 
THE SWAN IS GLIDING ABOVE THE OCEAN,
A GOD IS RIDING UPON HIS BACK.
HOW CALM THE WATER AND BRIGHT THE RAINBOW
FADE THIS SWAN TO BLACK.
 
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DID WE ALLOW TO FLOW BY
FEELING LIKE THE TIMING WASN'T QUITE RIGHT?
WHAT KIND OF MAGIC MIGHT HAVE WORKED IF WE HAD STAYED CALM,
COULDN'T I HAVE GIVEN YOU A BETTER LIFE?
 
DID YOU EVER TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS,
LOOK ME IN THE EYE, TELL ME THAT YOU DO?
DID I EVER OPEN UP MY HEART,
LET YOU LOOK INSIDE?
 
IF I NEVER DID IT, I WAS ONLY WAITING
FOR A BETTER MOMENT THAT DIDN'T COME.
THERE NEVER COULD BE A BETTER MOMENT
THAN THIS ONE, THIS ONE.
 
THE SWAN IS GLIDING (is gliding)
ABOVE THE OCEAN, (above the ocean)
A GOD IS RIDING (a god is riding
UPON HIS BACK. (on his back)
HOW CALM THE WATER (calm the water)
AND BRIGHT THE RAINBOW (bright the rainbow
FADE THIS SWAN TO BLACK.

WALKING DOWN A SPIRAL STAIRCASE,
FALLING THROUGH, FALLING THROUGH,
DON'T BE CARELESS, LOVE,
BE CARELESS, LOVE.
 
THE LAMP BURNS DOWN AND OUT
I'M GETTING PRETTY TIRED OF THIS.
I FEEL SO BAD, SOMETHING MIGHT BE GOING AMISS.
I WON'T BE THERE SO LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF,
YOU'RE GETTING IN DEEP WHATEVER YOU DO,
DON'T LET ME GO BACK TO SLEEP.
DON'T BE CARELESS, LOVE, UH,
DON'T BE CARELESS, LOVE,
DON'T BE, DON'T BE CARELESS.
 
SAW YOUR FACE IN THE MORNING PAPER,
SAW YOUR BODY ROLLED UP IN A RUG.
CHOPPED UP INTO TWO LITTLE PIECES BY SOME THUG.
DON'T BE CARELESS, LOVE,
BE CARELESS, LOVE.
 
BUT IN THE MORNING LIGHT
WHEN I WAKE UP AGAIN,
YOU'RE BY MY SIDE AND THAT'S THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.
BUT IN THE DARK,
YOUR MIND PLAYS FUNNY TRICKS ON YOU,
YOUR MIND PLAYS FUNNY TRICKS ON YOU,
YOUR MIND PLAYS FUNNY TRICKS ON YOU.
 
DON'T BE CARELESS, LOVE.

THAT DAY IS DONE
By Paul McCartney and Declan MacManus
 
 
I FEEL SUCH SORROW, I FEEL SUCH SHAME.
I KNOW I WON'T ARRIVE ON TIME
BEFORE WHATEVER OUT THERE IS GONE.
WHAT CAN I DO?
THAT DAY IS DONE.
 
IT'S JUST A PROMISE, THAT I MADE,
I SAID I'D WALK IN HER PARADE.
HOT SCALDING TEARS I THOUGHT WOULD FLOW,
STILL IN MY HEART, THEY'LL NEVER SHOW.
 
THAT DAY IS DONE, THAT DAY IS DONE,
YOU KNOW WHERE I'VE GONE,
I WON'T BE COMING BACK,
THAT DAY IS DONE.
 
WELL, I RECALL THE TIME AND PLACE
WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED HER PRECIOUS FACE.
I THOUGHT AT ONCE MY HEART WOULD BURST,
STILL, EV'RY TIME IS LIKE THE FIRST.
 
THERE WAS APPLAUSE WHEN SHE STEPPED UP,
I WISH THAT I COULD INTERRUPT.
I MADE NO SIGN, I MADE NO SOUND,
I KNOW I MUST STAY UNDERGROUND.
 
BUT THAT DAY IS DONE, THAT DAY IS DONE,
YOU KNOW WHERE I'VE GONE,
I WON'T BE COMING BACK,
THAT DAY IS DONE.
 
THAT'S WHY SHE WALKS, OR SO THEY SAY,
SHE ALWAYS KNEW JUST WHAT I NEEDED.
NOW IF SHE WOULD JUST LOOK MY WAY
ONE TIME BEFORE THEY PROCEED.
 
SHE SPRINKLES FLOWERS IN THE DIRT,
THAT'S WHEN A THRILL BECOMES A HURT.
I KNOW I'LL NEVER SEE HER FACE,
SHE WALKS AWAY FROM MY RESTING PLACE.
 
THAT DAY IS DONE, WELL, THAT DAY IS DONE,
YOU KNOW WHERE I'VE GONE,
I WON'T BE COMING BACK,
THAT DAY IS DONE.
 
WELL, YOU KNOW WHERE I'VE GONE,
I WON'T BE COMING BACK,
THAT DAY IS DONE.

HEY, YOU SINNERS, OPEN ALL THE DOORS,

SUNDAY MORNING HE'S RAVING FROM THE PULPIT,
THREATENING TO SEND US ALL TO HELL, WELL, WELL.
 
DON'T THROW, DON'T THROW, DON'T THROW,
DON'T THROW ANY STONES.
IF YOU CAN'T LIVE BY WHAT YOU TEACH,
YOU BETTER LEAVE ALONE.

UNLESS YOU PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH,

HEY, YOU SINNERS, WELL, YOU NEVER CAN TELL,
THE GLORY TRAIN IS LEAVING IN THE MORNING
BUT THE PREACHER'S THERE TO SAY FAREWELL, WELL, WELL.
 
CAN'T FIND LOVE,

YET BE YOU WHO IS WITHOUT SINS, CAST THE FIRST STONE.

THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Version: From the soundtrack of 'Put It There' TV Special
 
THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD,
THAT LEADS TO YOUR DOOR,
WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR,
I'VE SEEN THAT ROAD BEFORE, MM-MM,
IT ALWAYS LEADS ME HERE,
LEAD ME TO YOUR DOOR.
 
THE WILD AND WINDY NIGHT,
THAT THE RAIN WASHED AWAY,
HAS LEFT A POOL OF TEARS,
CRYING FOR THE DAY.
DON'T KEEP ME WAITING HERE,
LET ME KNOW THE WAY.
 
MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN ALONE,
AND MANY TIMES I'VE CRIED.
ANYWAY YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
THE MANY WAYS I'VE TRIED
 
BUT STILL THEY LEAD ME BACK
TO THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD,
YOU LEFT ME STANDING HERE,
A LONG, LONG TIME AGO.
DON'T KEEP ME WAITING HERE,
LEAD ME TO YOUR DOOR.
 
YEAH!
OH, OH,
OH, OH, OH,
OH, OH, OH, OH, OH.
 
BUT STILL THEY LEAD ME BACK
TO THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD,

WELL, YOU'VE GOT ME DANCING IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT,
DON'T KNOW IF I'M COMING OR GOING, I'M EARLY OR LATE.
ROUND AND ROUND THE RING I GO,
I WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW.
 
HEY,
WHY CAN'T WE TRAVEL A CONTINUOUS LINE?
MAKE LOVE RELIABLE COVENANT ALL THE TIME.
UP AND DOWN THE HILLS I GO,
I GOT TO KNOW, I GOT TO KNOW.
 
IS BETTER TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
THAN TO GO FOR A WALK IN THE DARK?
IS IT BETTER TO LOVE THAN TO GIVE IN TO HATE?
YEAH, WE'D BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF EACH OTHER,
AVOID SLIPPING BACK OFF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW,
IT'S BETTER BY FAR THAN GETTING STUCK
IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT.
 
WELL, FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF, LITTLE GIRL,
IT DON'T GO NOWHERE AT ALL.
IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN A TAPE LOOP IN A BIG DANCE HALL.
 
OH NOW!
YOU'VE GOT ME RUNNING IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT,
DON'T KNOW IF I'M COMING OR GOING, I'M EARLY OR LATE.
ROUND AND ROUND THAT LITTLE RING I GO,
I WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW.

THAN TO GO FOR A WALK IN THE DARK?
IS IT BETTER TO LOVE THAN TO GIVE IN TO HATE?

THIS ONE
By Paul McCartney
Version: Club Lovejoy Mix
Remixed by Matt Butler
 
 
DID YOU EVER TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS,
LOOK ME IN THE EYE, TELL ME THAT YOU DO?
DID I EVER OPEN UP MY HEART, LET YOU LOOK INSIDE?
 
IF I NEVER DID IT, I WAS ONLY WAITING
FOR A BETTER MOMENT THAT DIDN'T COME.
THERE NEVER COULD BE A BETTER MOMENT
THAN THIS ONE, THIS ONE.
 
THE SWAN IS GLIDING ABOVE THE OCEAN,
A GOD IS RIDING UPON HIS BACK.
HOW CALM THE WATER AND BRIGHT THE RAINBOW
FADE THIS SWAN TO BLACK.
 
DID I EVER TOUCH YOU ON THE CHEEK,
SAY THAT YOU WERE MINE, THANK YOU FOR THE SMILE?
DID I EVER KNOCK UPON YOUR DOOR
AND TRY TO GET INSIDE?
 
IF I NEVER DID IT, I WAS ONLY WAITING
FOR A BETTER MOMENT THAT DIDN'T COME.
THERE NEVER COULD BE A BETTER MOMENT
THAN THIS ONE, THIS ONE.
 
THE SWAN IS GLIDING ABOVE THE OCEAN,
A GOD IS RIDING UPON HIS BACK.
HOW CALM THE WATER AND BRIGHT THE RAINBOW
FADE THIS SWAN TO BLACK.
 
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DID WE ALLOW TO FLOW BY?
WHAT KIND OF MAGIC MIGHT HAVE WORKED IF WE HAD STAYED CALM?

DID YOU EVER TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS,
LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THAT YOU DO?
DID I EVER OPEN UP MY HEART,
LET YOU LOOK INSIDE?
 
THIS, THIS, THIS ONE, THIS ONE,
THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS ONE,
THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS ONE,
THI-THI-THI-THI, THI-THI-THI-THI, THIS ONE,
THI-THI-THI-THI, THI-THI-THI-THI, THIS ONE,
THIS, THIS, THIS, THIS ONE.
 
ONE, ONE, ONE,
ONE, ONE, ONE.
 
DID YOU EVER TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS,
LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THAT YOU DO?
DID I EVER OPEN UP MY HEART,
LET YOU LOOK INSIDE?
 
THE SWAN IS GLIDING (is gliding)
ABOVE THE OCEAN, (above the ocean)
A GOD IS RIDING (a god is riding
UPON HIS BACK. (oh-oh-oh-oh)
HOW CALM THE WATER (calm the water)
AND BRIGHT THE RAINBOW (bright the rainbow
FADE THIS SWAN TO BLACK.
 
THE SWAN IS GLIDING, OH, OH, OH,-
A GOD IS RIDING, (ride) OH, OH, OH, OH,
HOW CALM THE WATER, (how calm the water, how calm the water)
BRIGHT THE RAINBOW,
OOH -.

FIGURE OF EIGHT
By Paul McCartney
Version: Edited single version
Remixed by Bob Clearmountain
 
 
WELL, YOU'VE GOT ME DANCING IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT,
DON'T KNOW IF I'M COMING OR GOING, I'M EARLY OR LATE.
ROUND AND ROUND THE RING I GO,
I WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW.
 
HEY,
WHY CAN'T WE TRAVEL A CONTINUOUS LINE?
MAKE LOVE RELIABLE COVENANT ALL THE TIME.
UP AND DOWN THE HILLS I GO,
I GOT TO KNOW, I GOT TO KNOW.
 
IS BETTER TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
THAN TO GO FOR A WALK IN THE DARK?
IS IT BETTER TO LOVE THAN TO GIVE IN TO HATE?
YEAH, WE'D BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF EACH OTHER,
AVOID SLIPPING BACK OFF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW,
IT'S BETTER BY FAR THAN GETTING STUCK
IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT.
 
WELL, FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF, LITTLE GIRL,
IT DON'T GO NOWHERE AT ALL.
IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN A TAPE LOOP IN A BIG DANCE HALL.
 
OH NOW!
YOU'VE GOT ME RUNNING IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT,
DON'T KNOW IF I'M COMING OR GOING, I'M EARLY OR LATE.
ROUND AND ROUND THAT LITTLE RING I GO,
I WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW.
 
IS BETTER TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
THAN TO GO FOR A WALK IN THE DARK?
IT'S BETTER BY FAR THAN GETTING STUCK
IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT.
 
OO, OO, OO,
OO, OO, OO,
 
WELL, NOW YOU'VE GOT ME RUNNING IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT,
DON'T KNOW IF I'M COMING OR GOING, I'M EARLY OR LATE.
ROUND AND ROUND THE RING I GO,
I WANNA KNOW, I WANNA KNOW.
 
SAY, IS BETTER TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
THAN TO GO FOR A WALK IN THE DARK?
IS IT BETTER TO LOVE, OOH, THAN TO GIVE IN TO HATE?
 
YES, WE'D BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF EACH OTHER,
AVOID SLIPPING BACK OFF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW,
IT'S BETTER BY FAR THAN GETTING STUCK
IN A FIGURE OF EIGHT.
 
OO, OO, OO,
OO, OO, OO,

WITHOUT PERMISSION GIVEN.
 
YOU SEEM TO HAVE A FRIENDLIER SMILE THAN ALL THE REST,
WELL, I LOOKED AND YOU WERE BEST,
YEAH, I'VE LOOKED AT ALL THE REST.
 
YOU CAN'T IMAGINE PASSIONATE WORDS THAT I WOULD SAY,
IF ONLY YOU WOULD STAY,
OH, YOU KNOW YOU GOTTA STAY.
 
TODAY, WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING COMES
BEFORE YOU SLIP AWAY,
WITHOUT PERMISSION,
WITHOUT SUSPICION,
WITHOUT PERMISSION GIVEN.
 
YOU USED TO BE AN EARLY BIRD BUT HOW WAS I TO KNOW
YOU WOULD LEAVE WITHOUT SHEDDING A TEAR?
I ONLY WANNA LOVE YOU, I MAKE A WISH AND SUDDENLY
I'M GLAD THAT I HAVE YOU HERE,
OH, I'M GLAD I HAVE YOU HERE,
UH, TODAY, UH, UH.

TO ME YOU ARE THE LOVELIEST THING I'VE SEEN ALL DAY,
AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY,
NO, YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY.
 
BUT ALL MY LIFE I WONDERED WHY IT COULDN'T BE THIS WAY,
THAT WAS UP UNTIL TODAY,
YEAH, IT HAD TO BE THIS WAY.
 
TODAY, WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING COMES
BEFORE YOU SLIP AWAY,
TODAY, OH, OH, OH, OH,
BEFORE YOU SLIP AWAY,
WITHOUT PERMISSION,
ABOVE SUSPICION,
WITHOUT PERMISSION GIVEN TO YOU.
AH, AH-AH, AH-AH,
