Album Lyrics:

One Night Stand.

(Taylor)

Politicians wanna be in the place

priests wanna be in the choir

just got one simple need - my hearts desire

Boys and girls - around the world

get it on - when the feelings strong

I wanna one night stand

Fun is king

Everyone - get to feel the fun

I wanna one night stand

I wanna one night stand

Boys and girls - around the world

I wanna one night stand

I wanna one night stand

I wanna one night stand

I wanna one night stand

I wanna one night stand

I wanna one

I wanna one night stand

What's wrong with a one night stand?

just a one night stand

I wanna one night stand.

Fight Club.

(Taylor)

We live in this world

no choice in our birth

a boy or a girl

no clue to your worth

They give you a church

they tell you the plan

they'll make you a man

join - the "fight club"

You do what you can

in your own small way

you'll do what you can

you'll work and you'll pay

you'll do what you're told

they'll make you a man

join - the "fight club"

Be With You.

(Taylor/Rufus Tiger Taylor)

I - I just wanna be with you

I just wanna have you here

be with you

I - I just wanna dance with you

take a chance with you

dance with you

I - I just want to talk with you

I just want to walk with you

talk with you

I - I just need to get you - into my life

I just want you here

in my life

I - I just wanna dance with you

take a chance with you

dance with you

I - I just want to be with you

I just want to have you here

be with you.

Quality Street.

(Taylor)

Back from the badlands

with the wind and the silence

and the cold winter nights

and nature's hard violence

bin' scraping the soil

for a handful of stones

got an ache in my heart

got an ache in my bones

want a new tomorrow want a brand new life

want some quality time

with a house and a car - and a wife

No time for excuses

no time to cry

excuses are useless

too late for lies

but I love you baby

this much is true

I'm dying inside

if our love is through

a new tomorrow

life could be sweet

we could be living on quality street

we could be living on quality street

I'd hate you to think

i'd hurt you at all

when all this time i've bin on

"mission improbable"

but i love you baby

now here's the thing -

i found me a diamond

i'll make you a ring

a new tomorrow

and we can meet

right in the middle of quality street

right in the middle of quality street

we should be living on quality street.

I Don't Care.

(Roger Taylor)

I don't care

if you shave your teeth

eat your sheets

i don't care

if you crash my car

break my guitar

i don't care

if your mama's green, you smoke in your

sleep

dance naked in the street

i don't care

if you grow a third eye, act stupid or shy

i won't ask why

hurts so bad feels like it could kill ya

if love is blood i got haemophilia

i don't care

Cos all i want is you

i want you to want me too

i don't care - i just want you there

baby i don't care

I don't care - if you're drunk & loud, you jump

and shout

still make me proud

i don't care - if you make a scene, ya shout and

scream

live that dream

i don't care - if you dress like a fool

i won't be cruel

when you ain't cool

i don't care - when you get the blues - remember -

lay off my blue suede shoes

hurts so bad feels like it could kill ya

if love is blood i got haemophilia

baby i don't care

i don't care

baby i don't care

i don't care

baby i don't care

i don't care

baby i don't care

i don't care

i don't care.

Sunny Day.

(Taylor)

In a heartbeat i realised, saw through your

disguise

how could anybody be - so beautiful?

stopped in my tracks, got a big time shock

my captured heart just would not stop

how could anybody feel - so wonderful

you walk down the street - your hips sway - yeah

cars crash - traffic stops - i had to look away

where you are in the world - it's a sunny day

oh yeah!

Shout from the rooftops, tell the town,

the sun is up, let's fool around,

how could anybody be - so beautiful?

the sky's the limit with you by my side

together we - could learn to fly

how could anybody feel - so wonderful?

You're walkin' down the street -

your hips sway mmm

cars crash - traffic stops -

i have to look away

where you are in the world

it's a sunny day

oh yeah - play it -

In a heartbeat - yeah - oh i knew -

how could anybody be - so wonderful?

in a heartbeat - one look i knew

how could anybody feel so beautiful -

yeah.

Be My Gal (My Brightest Spark).

(Taylor)

Be my partner

be my pal

be my gal

Be my rock

be my friend

till the end

You have become my joan of arc -

my fine design

my sleeping lion, the one who'll fight my demons

in the dark - my brightest spark

you have brought down my darkest fears -

i lay awake

my hpoes and tears, and you can break the

blinds that bind my eyes and ears

And you can slake the thrist that burns me

in the night

the twists and turns, i'm yours to soothe, console -

heal the bruises - make me whole

Be my partner

would ya, be my pal

would ya, be my gal?

Be my rock

be my friend

till the end.

I Am The Drummer (In A Rock n' Roll Band).

(Taylor)

I am the drummer (in a rock n' roll band)

I am the drummer (in a rock n' roll band)

I am the drummer (in a rock n' roll band)

I am the drummer (in a rock n' roll band)

I am the drummer (in a rock n' roll band)

I'm the heart and soul - yeah - i'm the man

hey

I am the drummer in a rock n' roll band

I am the drummer in a rock n' roll band

I am the conductor - the king of time

I am the instructor - they pay me in dimes!

I like cars that go fast and shiny things

I like girls that go faster - on tiny wings

I am the drummer in a rock n' roll band

I am the rock that rocks the bandstand

I am the St. Peter - the rock on which we stand

I am the butt of a thousand jokes

- from far less talented folks

I'm the pulse

I'm the beat

that gets your - toes tappin'

I fill the empty spaces when the singer stops

yackin'

I sit way at the back

but i lead the attack

it's a sweaty affair

goin whack - whack - whack!

I am the drummer in a rock n' roll band.

Small.

(Taylor)

I like to sit here - in the sunshine

the trees in the fields are green sublime

suspended, in time

and don't it make you feel small

i like to sit here by the fire's light

the trees in the fields

like bare to the night

that stars burn bright

and don't it make you feel small

Everyone needs a place they can hide

hide away find a space to be alone

everyone needs a place they hide

everyone needs to find - peace sublime

peace of mind

I like to sit here - in the autumn time

the trees in the fields

they rustle in the wind

the church bells gently chime

gentle on your mind

suspended in time

and don't it make you feel small

everyone needs a place they can hide

hide away find a space to be alone

everyone needs a place they can hide

everyone needs to find - peace sublime

peace of mind.

Say It's Not True.

(Taylor)

The harder we play

the faster we fall

when we think that we know it all

we know nothing at all

The letter arrives

like a bolt from the blue

so what's left of your lives

all your dreams lost to you

Say it ain't true

say it today

when i open my eyes

will it all go away

say it's not true

say it's not real

can't be happening to you

can't be happening to me

It's hard not to cry

it's hard to believe

so much heartache and pain

so much reason to grieve

with the wonders to science

and all the knowledge we've stored

magic cocktails for lives

people just can't afford

Say it's not true

you can say it's not right

it's hard to believe

the size of the crime

say it's not true

youc an say it's not real

can't be happening to you

could be happening to me

Say it's not true

you can say it's not right

so hard to believe

the size of the crime

say it's not true

say it's not real

can't be happening to you

could be happening to me.

The Unblinking Eye (abridged).

(Taylor)

God would weep - if he existed

and he saw what men can do to men

he'd think that we were twisted -

his unblinking eye woudl blink and then

he'd say not in my name you don't

you stupid little men

with your arrogance and ignorance

you do it, time and time again

And aaah, i must be gettin old

there's a fire and a fury

driven deep into my soul

it's the helplessness that comes from bein'

under your control

and everything is broken

Five million cameras stare at us

and treat us like we're fools

our privacy is meaningless

we're suffocated by ten thousand rules

this kingdoms not united

just a complicated mess

are we in europe - half in europe - not in

europe?

we're soulless, spineless, directionless

And aaah, i must be gettin old

there's a fire and a fury

driven deep into my soul

it's the helplessness that comes from bein'

under your control

and everything is broken

and everything is broken

Why send our young men out to die

in wars that we don't understand

and why on earth should we be meddling

in places like afghanistan?

the price is much too high

in terms of money or of precious men

your reasons are mysterious

and quite beyond our ken

And aaah, i must be gettin' old

there's a fire and fury

driven deep into my soul

it's the helplessness that comes

you even sold our gold - and

everything is broken.

Up.

(Taylor)

I'll dream you a dream

this dream is alive

I'll build you a house

house in the sky

We wanna - we wanna - we wanna -we wanna

we wanna - we wanna - we wanna -we wanna

go - up

We know what we want

we know where to be

we know what we need

need to be free

We wanna - we wanna - we wanna -we wanna

we wanna - we wanna - we wanna -we wanna

go - up

We'll live in the clouds

we'll dream we can fly

we'll live in our dreams

on our island in the sky

oh we can never die

I'll make you a queen

i'll give you a crown

we'll live in our dreams

and never look down

never look down

never look down

never look down

We wanna go - up.

Smile.

(Taylor)

Smile

and clouds will run

the skies will clear

in comes the sun

and light will shine

in every place

because you smile

Laugh

and darkness flies

the light of love

will fill the skies

the shadows run

let there be fun

you gotta laugh

Smile

smile

smile

Kill

your darkest fears

lose your sorrows

destroy your fears

and you may find

a life that's kind

you gotta smile.
