I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down
Like a fool, I fell in love with you
Turned my whole world upside down
 
But I can get you a pocketful of miracles
If you promise to be good, try to be nice
God will take good care of you
Well, just do as I say, don't do as I do
 
I'm free, but I'm focused
I'm green, but I'm wise
I'm hard, but I'm friendly, baby
I'm sad, but I'm laughing
I'm brave, but I'm chicken shit
 
I tried to tell you in the night
That with a girl like you I could do without guided tours
You tried to tell me in the day
That your leading exports were textiles and iron ore

Hasta Manana Monsieur
Were the only words that I knew for sure
Hasta Manana Monsieur
Were the three little words that I knew you'd adore
 
I love Paris in the spring time
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles.

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why oh why do I love Paris
Because my love is here.
 
Tell me what you want.
I’ll tell what you wanna hear.
I’ll take the pain to remain in your atmosphere.
No has to know.
Where you ended up tonight.
Your secret is as safe as when you are by my side.

You can call it what you want to.
You can call it what you want to hear.

But friends don’t know you like this.
Talk with their eyes, stare at your lips.
And friends don’t touch you like this.
Get with someone to make you jealous.

I know, I know, it’s gonna hurt me when you go
I know, I know, I’m still gonna come and let you do what friends don’t.
 
I can't be arsed with Halloween. Load of old nonsense. But for those who can...

I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
 
Sick of the questions I keep asking you
They make you live in the past
But I can count on you to tell me the truth
When you've been drinking and you're wearing a mask
Baby, it's Halloween
And we can be anything
 
Who scared you?
Why were you born, my babe?
In two-time's arms with all of your charms, my love
Why were you born, just to play with me
To freak out or to be beautiful, my dear?
 
A man in my shoes runs a light
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love
Is all of heaven away
 
It's close to midnight
Something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you
From the beast about to strike
 
You have to have a party
When you're in a state like this
You can really move it all
You have to vote and change

You have to get right out of it
Like out of all this mess
You'll say yeah to anything
If you believe all this
 
Came to the party
But I got my own signals crossed
Thought I was welcome
But I felt like I should get lost...

She spoke of a French boy
At least two times through the night
It could have been the liquor
Or the music but that is
All right
 
There were beverages laid out for the party
There were candy and spices and tricolored pastas
The meat carved was drawn from succulent juices
Served on platters of the purest gold
 
I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup

Please don't start saying that
Or I'll start believing you
If I start believing you
I'll know that this party fears two
 
I know a girl
A girl called Party, Party Girl
I know she wants more than a party, Party Girl
And she won't tell me her name
