HEY! MR POLICEMAN
Hey! Mr Policeman won’t you please leave me alone?
I'm just tryna make my way here and my business is my own
Yes, I accept you have a job to do and you’re giving it your all
But, contrary to popular belief, I'm not a criminal
I said, “Hey! Mr Policeman” just for once cut me some slack
I can’t walk down the high street without looking at my back
And with my reputation tattered & my prospects at their worst
Why must you drag my name down in the dirt?
LEAVE ME ALONE
LEAVE ME ALONE
I’VE DONE NOTHING WRONG
Well just the other morning I was driving into town
I looked up at the mirror saw the blue lights flashing round
Half an hour later, my car’s been emptied on the ground
A ‘routine check’ with nothing to be found
LEAVE ME ALONE
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
I’VE DONE NOTHING WRONG

MARY JANE
Mary Jane, she comes & goes but where she goes no-one knows
She says she will, then she won't ... I don't know
She left me hanging out to dry. I'm hung up on the line
Going out of my mind all the time
Reservations at the station let you down
While the highway men get street-wise with the clowns
And Mary Jane's nowhere to be found
All these days pass me by. January, July ... this year's over before it's begun and there's no questioning why, when you're flying so high
You forget when it's time to come down
Came to my senses, lowered my defences
Though I'm still believing you've got me daydreaming ....
Mary Jane, love to turn you on
Mary Jane!

SERIOUS DRUGS
I said: "I don't think I can take it much longer"
She said: "Maybe your tablets should be stronger"
Get some serious drugs
Toy town medicine don't make a change
If you want your head rearranged
Get some serious drugs
The trouble with me
I can't give in you see
The trouble with me
I can't give in you see
I'd cut off my hair if you want me to
I'd cut off a finger if it'd get me
Your serious love
I've got serious love
I said: "I don't think I can much longer"
She said: "Maybe your tablets should be stronger"
Get some serious drugs
The trouble with me
I can't give in you see
The trouble with me
I can't give in you see

Be Careful What You Say

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY
Be careful what you say, ‘cause every exchange
It all gets filed away, and it can all come back to you.
They’ve cameras in the trees, and microphonic bees
Recording every sneeze and it can all come back to you
Yeah, it can all come back to you, said it can all come back to you
And it will all come back to you
Young William McTell, keeps nothing to himself
His every waking thought, he types up in his big blue book
And poor Rhianna Finch, can hardly budge an inch
So busy on her phone, she has to stay at home alone
She needs to stay at home alone, she lives her life at home alone
And Tweets her friends at home alone
Remember a time we kept things to ourselves?
You’d know your secret stayed with someone else
And diaries were padlocked hidden on the shelf
Personal data had a time and place but now if you want to keep a secret safe, you have to hide it from yourself
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY, JUST BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY, ‘CAUSE IT CAN ALL COME BACK TO YOU, YEAH IT CAN ALL COME BACK TO YOU, SAID IT CAN ALL COME BACK TO YOU AND IT WILL ALL COME BACK TO YOU!

TURN AROUND OR
I’m lookin’ for some action, need some satisfaction
Each and every day
I feel I’m going under, best laid plans asunder
Searching for a way
I’m spinning on an axis, I’m taking things for granted
You’ve got me where you want me
Why do you ignore me?
Turn around or walk away
Turn around or, turn around or walk away
I’m feelin’ kinda homesick, strike another matchstick
Light the fire and watch the flame
He’s staring down a shotgun, better watch your back, son
Only you to blame
'Cause we’re spinning on an axis
All caught up in this rat race
And you’re looking so much younger, feeling so much older, turn around or walk away
I’m lookin’ for some action

Your Love Is My Blanket

YOUR LOVE IS MY BLANKET
These black clouds they get me down
It always seems to rain each time I leave the house
Sometimes it feels like there's nowhere to hide
Just can't get warm on the inside
But I know when I feel like this
There's a place that I can't resist
And I'll always come back to you ...
Your love is my blanket (it keeps me warm!)

Can I hold your hand and count to ten?
Let's play hide & seek again
Watch a leaf fall from your tree
You don't know what you mean to me

You Say You're Leaving

YOU SAY YOU'RE LEAVING
You say you’re leaving, you’ve got your reasons and now you’re moving on
You’ve had your doubts but, just hear me out ‘cause, for what it’s worth here you’ve got me all wrong!
You say you’ve made your mind up and that you want to break up ‘cause of what’s been going on ever heard of ‘innocent ‘til proven’? You’ve got my assets frozen, do you really think I’d be carrying on?
Yes, Sally may be young and free, and Bernadette won’t leave me be
But how can I make you see that it’s only you that holds the key to my heart?
Tell me I’m dreaming, I thought that we were, in this for the long haul.
Can’t we, can’t we talk it over, completely sober?
I don’t really know what we’re fighting for
So you’ve made your mind up and now you wanna break up? Well just let me make this clear. It’s a storm in a teacup, unfounded secrets
Just don’t believe everything that you hear
Yeah, Sally may be young and free, and Bernadette won’t leave me be
But how can I make you see that you’re the only one for me?
Yeah, Sally may be young and free (“She may be young and free!”)
And Bernadette won’t leave me be (“Leave me be, leave me be!”)
But how can I make you see, that it’s only you that holds the key to my heart?

Never Had A Love

NEVER HAD A LOVE
Never had a love where it’s worked out right
The wheels stay on, the bond is tight
So many times, for different reasons,
I’ve been thinking about joining The Foreign Legion
No, I’ve never had a love like flying a kite
On a summer’s day in the warm sunlight
Never found a woman who could hold me tight
Sweet temptation keeps me up all night
No I’ve never had a love
You know I’ve never had a love
Never had a love ... no
Never had a love I could call my own
Like Adrienne was for Rocky Balboa
So many times, on different occasions,
I’ve been leaving that picture house practically weeping
No I’ve never had a love who can call my bluff
My hand in glove, a snow-white dove
Never found a woman I could truly love ... no
Lookin’ for a woman who can sing like Lily Allen
Eyes like Twiggy with a smile like Karen’s
You can take the Michael but I’m really quite specific
My ideal woman well she really is terrific
You can keep your Kylies and your Mileys and your Britneys
Give me Audrey and a slap-up at Tiffanys
I admit that might be a bit tricky
Sometimes I wish I just wasn’t so picky
No, I’ve never had a love
You know I’ve never had a love
Never had a love .... like THIS before!

IN THE MORNING
In the morning, won’t you come & come and see me?
In the morning, won’t you come & come and free me?
'Cause I love you and I want you and I need you
Yeah, I love you and I want you and I need you
In the morning, won’t you come & come and please me?
In the morning, won’t you come & come and tease me?
'Cause I love you and I want you and I need you
Yeah, I love you and I want you and I need you
Yes I love you and I want you and I need you
Guess I love you and I want you and I need you
I’d do anything for you
You know I would if you ask me to
'Cause all I think about is you
And you know it’s true
You know that it’s true
In the morning, won’t you come and, come and see me?

Callin' Out!

CALLIN’ OUT!
Sailed the seven seas
Read a million books
Crossed some muddy waters
Just to take a look
Stood on the banks of the Mersey
Callin’ out your name
But the tide rolled over
You never came
If I’d known now what I thought I knew then
Seems the grass was greener in your garden
Well I loved you then & I still love you now
Like a candle that you can’t blow out
You can knock me down
But I’ll get up again
For such a one-horse town
You’ve got a lot of friends
Well you fly like a butterfly
You sting like a bee
But you’re all I’ve got
You’re all I need
If I’d known now what I thought I knew then
Seems the grass was greener in your garden
Well I loved you then & I still love you now
Like a candle that you can’t blow out!
