The Metro~~Berlin

I'm alone
sitting with my empty glass
my four walls
follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
and you were waiting there
swimming through apologies

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
riding on the Metro

You wore white
smiling as you took my hand
so removed
we spoke of wintertime in France
minutes passed with shallow words
years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now
smiling as I pulled away

I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
riding on the Metro

I remember a feeling coming over me
the soldier turned, then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
riding on the Metro
 
Dead or Alive---You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)

If I, I get to know your name
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
I want some,want some

I set my sights on you(and no one else will do)

And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're having fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch,out here I come

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

I got to be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in a little bit closer

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch out, here I come

Bizarre Love Triangle

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
well every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

Strange Love


There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I´ll take more than another river-full
And I´ll make it all worthwhile
I´ll make your heart smile
Strange love
Strange highs and strange lows
Strange love
That´s how my love goes
Strange love
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give it to you
Again and again
And will you return it
There´ll be days
When I´ll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I´m not trying to say
I´ll have it all my way
I´m always willing to learn
When you´ve got something to teach
And I´ll make it all worthwhile
I´ll make your heart smile
Pain will you return it
I´ll say it again -- pain
Pain will you return it
I won´t say it again
Strange love
Strange highs and strange lows
Strange love
That´s how my love goes
Strange love
Will you give it to me
I give in
Again and again
I give in
will you give it to me
I give in
I´ll say it again
I give in
I give in
Again and again
I give in
That´s how my love goes
I give in
I´ll say it again
I give in

WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND (PURE ENERGY)

I wanna know
What you're thinking
There are some things you can't hide...
I wanna know
What you're feeling
Tell me what's on you mind.

Pure energy

Here I am in silence
Looking round without a clue
I find myself along again
All alone with you...
I can see behind your eyes
The things that I don't know
If you hide away from me
How can our love grow?

I wanna know
What you're thinking
There are some things you can't hide ...
I wanna know
What you're feeling
Tell me what's on your mind.

I know I could break you down
But what good would it do
I could surely never know
That what you say is true..
Here I am in silence
It's a game I have to play
You and I in silence
With nothing else to say..

I wanna know
What you're thinking
There are some things you can't hide
I wanna know
What you're feeling
Tell me what's on your mind..

Pure energy

I wanna know
What you're thinking
There are some things you can't hide
I wanna know
What you're feeling
Tell me what's on your mind..
I wanna know..
What you're thinking..
There are some things you can't hide..
I wanna know..
What you're feeling..
Tell me what's on your mind.

If You Leave


If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
When hours have, time on our side
Now it's faded fast
Every second, every moment
You got to, go to make it last
* I touch you once,
I touch you twice,
I won't let go and even try
I hert you now
And I can need youthen
(You always said we'll still be friends someday)
If you leave, I won't cry
I won't waste one single day
But if you leave, don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge

Like time standing still
Heaven knows what happen now
You got to, you gotto tell you will
(Repeat *)

You always said we'll meet again

Ooh…..if you leave me

"West End Girls"

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?
(How much do you need?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
West End girls

(How much do you need?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Oooh West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End Girls
West End girls

You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'til I get you home
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
(How far have you been?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End Boys, West End girls
West End girls

West End girls

West End girls
(How far have you been?)

Girls
East End boys
And West End girls
And West End girls
(... forever)
And West End girls
(How far have you been?)

East End boys
The West End girls
The West End boys
And West End girls

Song : Rasputin

Rasputine
There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

RA RA RASPUTINE
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTINE
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled the Russian land and never mind the czar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

CHORUS

(Spoken:)
But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger
for power became known to more and more people,
the demands to do something about this outrageous
man became louder and louder.

"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came

RA RA RASPUTINE
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTINE
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said "I am fine"

RA RA RASPUTINE
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTINE
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead

(Spoken:) Oh, those Russians...
(Note: In the song it is said "Rasputine)
 
Now I'm hearing Tainted Love In my head.
And Heart of Glass.

Phoenyx,
I heard Boiled in Lead's version. I will have to check this out.
thanks.
 
But you've all forgotten Duran Duran!!!

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand....
Just like a river twisting through a dusty land...
And when she shines she really shows you all she can...
Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande.
