Outlandos d'amour

I can't stand it for another day

When you live so many miles away.

Nothing here is gonna make me stay,

(You) took me over, let me find a way.



I sold my house

I sold my motor, too.

All I want is to be Next To You.

I'd rob a bank

Maybe steal a plane.

You took me over,

Think I'm goin' insane.



What can I do,

All I want is to be next to you.

What can I do,

All I want is to be next to you.



I've had a thousand girls or maybe more,

But I've never felt like this before.

But I just don't know what's come over me,

You took me over, take a look at me.



What can I do,

All I want is to be next to you.

What can I do,

All I want is to be next to you.



All I want is to be next to you,

All I want is to be next to you,

All I want is to be next to you.



So many times I used to give a sign

Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind.

When all it is is just a love affair.

You took me over baby, take me there.



What can I do

All I want is to be next to you

What can I do

All I want is to be next to you

What can I do

All I want is to be next to you

What can I do

All I want is to be next to you.



All I want is to be next to you

Well someone told me yesterday

That when you throw your love away

You act as if you don't care

You look as if you're going somewhere



But I just can't convince myself

I couldn't live with no one else

And I can only play that part

And sit and nurse my broken heart



So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely



So lonely

So lonely

So lonely



So lonely

So lonely

So lonely



So lonely

So lonely



Now no one's knocked upon my door

For a thousand years or more

All made up and nowhere to go

Welcome to this one man show



Just take a seat they're always free

No surprise no mystery

In this theatre that I call my soul

I always play the starring role 



So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely



So lonely

So lonely

So lonely



So lonely

So lonely

So lonely



So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

So lonely

(ad lib vocals) [These are the true lyrics]

Lonely, I'm so lonely

I feel so alone

I feel low

Feel so low

I feel so lonely, lonely, lonely, lone

Lonely, lone

I feel so alone, yeah



So lonely...

Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

Those days are over

You don't have to sell your body to the night



Roxanne

You don't have to wear that dress tonight

Walk the streets for money

You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right



Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light



I loved you since I knew you

I wouldn't talk down to you

I have to tell you just how I feel

I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up

So put away your make up

Told you once I won't tell you again



It's a bad way

Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah



There's a hole

In my life

There's a hole

In my life



Shadow in my heart

Is tearing me apart

Or maybe it's just something

In my stars



There's a hole

In my life

There's a hole

In my life



Be a happy man

I try the best I can

Or maybe I'm just looking

For too much



There's something missing from my life

Cuts me open like a knife

It leaves me vulnerable

I have this disease

I shake like an incurable

God help me please



Oh, there's a hole

In my life

There's a hole

In my life



Yeah...



(Middle:    Instr.

 Verse 2:   Repeat

 Middle:    Repeat

 Chorus:    Repeat)

It's all a game

You're not the same

Your famous name

The price of fame



Oh no

Try to liberate me

I said oh no

Stay and irritate me

I said oh no

Try to elevate me

I said oh no

Just a fallen hero



Don't wanna hear about the drugs you're taking

Don't wanna read about the love you're making

Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking

Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking



You sang your song

For much too long

The songs they're wrong

The bread has gone



Oh no

Try to liberate me

I said oh no

Stay and irritate me

I said oh no

Try to elevate me

I said oh no

Just a fallen hero



Don't wanna hear about the drugs you're taking

Don't wanna read about the love you're making

Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking

Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking



It's all a game

You're not the same

Your famous name

The price of fame



Oh no

Try to liberate me

I said oh no

Stay and irritate me

I said oh no

Try to elevate me

I said oh no

Just a fallen hero

[Oh, you're just a fallen hero]



Don't wanna hear about the drugs you're taking

Don't wanna read about the love you're making

Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking

Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking



Don't wanna find out what you've been taking

Don't wanna read about the love you're making

Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking

Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking



Don't wanna find out what you've been taking

Don't wanna read about the love you're making

Don't wanna hear about the life you're faking

Don't wanna read about the muck they're raking



Peanuts, peanuts

(Ad lib) [This is what it really is]

Oh, no, no

Oh, no, no

Oh, no, no

Oh, no, no

Oh, no, no

Oh

I've called you so many times today

And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say

That you don't ever want to see me again

And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten

I guess you'd call it cowardice

But I'm not prepared to go on like this



[I can't, I can't

 I can't stand losing

 I can't, I can't

 I can't stand losing

 I can't, I can't

 I can't]

 I can't stand losing you

[I can't stand losing you

 I can't stand losing you

 I can't stand losing you]



I see you've sent my letters back

And my LP records and they're all scratched

I can't see the point in another day

When nobody listens to a word I say

You can call it lack of confidence

But to carry on living doesn't make no sense



[I can't, I can't

 I can't stand losing

 I can't, I can't

 I can't stand losing

 I can't, I can't

 I can't stand losing

 I can't, I can't

 I can't stand losing

 I can't, I can't

 I can't stand losing

 I can't, I can't

 I can't stand losing]



I guess this is our last goodbye

And you don't care so I won't cry

But you'll be sorry when I'm dead

And all this guilt will be on your head

I guess you'd call it suicide

But I'm too full to swallow my pride



[I can't, I can't

 I can't stand losing...]



I can't stand losing you

Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean

Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold

You lay there sleeping like an open doorway

I stepped outside myself and felt so cold



Take a look at my new toy

It'll blow your head in two, oh boy



Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone

Oh, oh, oh

Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone

Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone



I thought about it and my dream was broken

I clutch at images like dying breath

And I don't want to make a fuss about it

The only certain thing in [life is death]    [≶== something happened to the

Take a look at my new toy                     words weren't there]

It'll blow your head in two, oh boy



Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone

Oh, oh, oh

Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone

Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone



Where you want to be

Won't you ever see



Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone

Oh, oh, oh

Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone

Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone

Truth hits everybody

Truth hits everyone

Now

We were born

Born in the fifties

Born

Born in the fifties

Born

Born in the fifties

Born

Born in the fifties



My mother cried

When president Kennedy died

She said it was the communists

But I knew better



Would they drop the bomb on us 

While we made love on the beach

We were the class they couldn't teach

'Cos we knew better



We were born

Born in the fifties 

Born

Born in the fifties

Born

Born in the fifties

Born

Born in the fifties



They screamed

When the Beatles sang

And they laughed when the King fell down the stars 

Oh they should've known better



Oh we hated our Aunt

Then we messed in our pants

Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV

Oh we should've known better



We were born

Born in the fifties

Born

Born in the fifties

Born

Born in the fifties

Born

Born in the fifties



We freeze like statues on the pages of history

Living was never like this when we took all those G.C.E.'s

Oh you opened the door for us

And then you turned to dust



You don't understand us

So don't reprimand us

We're taking the future

We don't need no teacher



(repeat chorus to fade)

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl



Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl



Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl



Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl



 "Sally"

(spoken over ad lib 'stab' fills) [this is the book's line phrasing]



I was blue and lonely, I couldn't sleep a wink

And I could only get unconscious if I'd had to much to drink.

There was somehow, something wrong somewhere, and each day seemed grey and dead

The seeds of desperation were growing in my head.

I needed inspiration, a brand new start in life,

Somewhere to place affection, but I didn't want a wife.

And then by lucky chance I saw [in] a special magazine

An ad. that was unusual, the like I'd never seen,

"Experience something different with our new imported toy,

She's loving, warm, inflatible and a guarantee of joy."

She came all wrapped in cardboard, all pink and shrivelled down

A breath of air was all she needed to make her lose that frown.

I took her to the bedroom and pumped her with some life,

And later in a moment that girl became my wife.

And so I sit her in the corner and sometimes stroke her hair

And when I'm feeling naughty I blow her up with air

She's cuddly and she's bouncy, she's like a rubber ball,

I bounce her in the kitchen and I bounce her in the hall.

[And now my life is different since Sally came my way]

I wake up [in the] morning and have her on a tray

She's everything they say she was and I wear a permanent grin,

And I only have to worry in case my girl wears pins.



 "Be My Girl" (Reprise)



Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl



Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl



Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl



Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl
