Billy's Third

If you say no
it would break my heart in two
But don't you realise
There's too many watching you


We're making too many problems
Making matters worse
Maybe its a curse
But oh baby its hurts
But oh baby its hurts


Don't look down cos if you do
you won't see what's in front of you
Can't turn your back on me this time
Cos if you do I won't mind


Chorus


If you say no
If you say no


Chorus




Casbah Rock

Now it won't take long
Now before you know
If you're not thrown out
Then you'll want to go
Cos you'll never get pop at the Casbah Rock
You'll never get pop at the Casbah Rock
Ooh you won't get pop at the Casbah Rock
You'll never get pop at the Casbah Rock




Emergency Cases

Everybody hates an emergency case ah ha
Everybody hates an emergency case ah ha
Cos who disgraces - emergency cases


Cos when you say we're gone we still hang on ah ha
Cos when you say we're gone we still hang on ah ha
Cos 9 9 9's a waste of time


Everybody hates an emergency case ah ha
Everybody hates an emergency case ah ha
Cos who disgraces - emergency cases


Cos when you say we're gone we still hang on ah ha
Cos when you say we're gone we still hang on ah ha
We still hang on when you say we've gone


Everybody hates ...




Family Entertainment

So you think you're so clever never in doubt
But I've seen you two together fooling about
Don't get me wrong now I've seen what you are
Mummy wouldn't like it - its gone too far


Got to - keep it in the family
Learn to - keep it in the family
Have to - keep it in the family
Want to - keep it in the family


Playing with each other its your favourite game
You never try to hide it there's no shame
You'll soon be discovered what will you do then
Family entertainment will come to an end


Chorus




Get Over You

Dressed like that you must be living in a different world
And your mother doesn't know why you can't look like all the other girls
They stop you in the street - they wanna know your name
To reach you on the phone - cause they know your game
Always running up the alley - trying to get home
Or standing on the corner - never alone


And I don't wanna get over you
It doesn't matter what you do
I just can't get over you - over you


You say the boys with the bikes and the leathers like to beat you to hell
And the girls where you work don't treat you too well
You think you're such a smacker - but you ain't so bad
Get what you want - with looks like that
Always running up the alley - trying to get home
Or standing on the corner - never alone




Girls Don't Like It

Hey wasn't Eddie driving that car ?
Yeah I don't go for him do you ?


Here comes Eddie in a brand new car
Driving like that he won't get far
Kissing in the back seat all the way home
You can't do that if you're on your own


But what else can you do
if the girls don't like it


Says he doesn't have nowhere else to go
No late night movies now on radio
Just a TV switched up really loud
Know what I mean it becomes part of the crowd


But what else can you do
if the girls don't like it


If the girls want to know what were gonna do know
Always up to things they're not supposed to allow
Leading us on telling no
Making us stop instead of letting us go


But what else can you do
if the girls don't like it




Here Comes The Summer

Oh baby baby what can I do
You know you drive me crazy when I'm looking at you
The summer's really here and it's time to come out
Time to discover what fun is about


Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer


Keep looking for the girls with their faces all tanned
Lying on the beaches all covered in sand
Stretching out their long legs lying in the sun
They know they're beautiful they're having fun


Here comes the summer ...




I Gotta Getta

Jackie Trainer says that she's never at home
Cos when she's in she knows she's never alone
They'd always be somebody whose just hanging around
Waiting for a chance to start putting her down


Next time we'll have to better
I gotta getta
I gotta getta
I gotta getta


Little Jamie hides in the front of the car
He'll never learn to drive he knows its too late now
He turns ignition on and its ready to start
As the car begins to move he feels it falling apart.


Next time ...


I Know A Girl


I know a girl
I know that she knows about me
She not just a girl
I think she knows how I feel


I know a girl
I know a girl


I know a girl
I know that see her all the time in the street
She makes me feel
I'm in love every time that we meet


I know a girl
I know a girl


I know a girl
See her everyday of the week
She makes me feel
I'm in love every time that we meet


I know a girl
I know a girl




Jimmy Jimmy

Little mummy's boy
He wasn't very old
Though he was very small
He did what he was told


Jimmy Jimmy
Jimmy Jimmy - Oooh
Jimmy Jimmy
Poor little Jimmy wouldn't let go


He'd stay awake at night
Lying in his bed
No one ever listened
To a single word he said


Chorus


Silly boy
Silly boy
Silly boy
Such a silly boy


Chorus


Now little Jimmy's gone
He disappeared one day
But no one saw the ambulance
That took little Jim away


Chorus




Jump Boys

Jump boys - Jump boys - Jump boys - Jump boys


Jump boys are crazy they don't have no sense
Never getting lost in coincidence
Never lost for words they always shoot from the moon
To make it with the girls who can't come to their rooms


Jump boys ...


To be slick to be sorry got more energy than most
Night time's the long time they prowl just like ghosts
Spit at your face never trying to walk away
Get into trouble they've got a lot to say


Jump boys ...




Let's Talk About Girls

You want to know why I lost you
You want to know what's wrong with you
But nothing's wrong girl you'll feel so tough
Just lying here for me and that ain't enough
I've got to love them all day not just a few
Got to love those pretty girls is what I've got to do
Oh yeah - let's talk about girls
I said yeah - let's talk about girls
Girls that beg for more


See the pretty girls they're just walking by
Turns me on when she gives me the eye
There goes another looking so fine
I won't be happy till I've make her mine
I've got to love them all day not just a few
Got to love those pretty girls is what I've got to do
Oh yeah - let's talk about girls
I said yeah - let's talk about girls
Girls that beg for more


Let's talk about girls
...
Let's talk about women
...




Listening In

I was sitting on my own
No one rang so I picked up the phone
Then I heard your voice
I was listening in


You were talking in the hall
I wasn't there but I heard it all
Nothing I could do
Just listening in


On the carpet you're so small
Who had you covered wall to wall
Nothing I could do
Just listening in


Now you're gone any your line's dead
Nothing I can do instead
No more - no more
No more listening in




Male Model

When I was young I never wanted toys
Things like that were for little boys
My mamma got me clothes for her favourite son
Freeman's item A page 61


I wanna wanna be a male model
I wanna wanna be a male model
I wanna wanna be a ... model ... model


Read women's magazines for fashion scenes
Til you know the prices they're in pounds and pence
Reminds me that I can't afford to buy new clothes
I never got a chance to say I'll take those


Chorus


I'm fed up of wearing things second hand
The coat that must belong to another man
Sizes that got out of style years ago
Anything cheap I don't wanna know




Mars Bars

I need a Mars Bar
Hey raid the Spa
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar
I've had total fun
It helps me - makes me - work rest and play
It helps me - makes me - work rest and play


I never eat my dinner
I push away the plate
You can see I'm getting thinner
Because I just can't wait
To get my Mars Bar
Hey raid the Spar ...


To Patrick Moore and David Bowie
And all the other stars
There's evidence here to show
That there's life on Mars
I need a ...


There's glucose for energy
Caramel for strength
The chocolate's only there
To keep it the right length
I need a ...


To anybody out there who still eats Twix ?
Anybody on packets of Buttons ?
I gave them up when I was six
I hope your teeth are rotten
I need a ...


Work - rest and play




My Perfect Cousin

Now I've got a cousin called Kevin
He's sure to go to heaven
Always spotless clean and neat
The smoothest you can get them
He's got a fur lined sheepskin jacket
My ma said they cost a packet
She won't even let me explain
That me and Kevin were just not the same


Oh my perfect cousin
What I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's private joy
His mothers little golden boy


He's gotta degree in economics
Maths - physics and bionics
He thinks that I'm a cabbage
Cos I hate university challenge
Even at the age of ten
Smart boy Kevin was a smart boy then
He always beat me at Subbuteo
Cos he flicked the kick
And I didn't know


Oh my perfect cousin ..


His mother bought him a synthesizer
Got the Human League into advise her
Now he's making lots of noise
Playing along with the art school boys
Girls try to attract his attention
But what a shame it's in vain total rejection
He will never be left on the shelf
Cos Kevin he's in love with himself


Oh my perfect cousin ...




One Way Love

She's got so hard to talk to
Though he can't forget her name
She's some to hold on to
But he's not whose to blame


One way love - one way love
One way love - one way love
One way love - one way love
Getting so tired of - one way love


She wishes he was older
Then she wouldn't feel so bad
She knows she has to tell him
Even though it'll make him sad


One way love ...


She know she doesn't love him
And there's nothing he can do
She knows she has to tell him
She has to say they're through


One way love ...




Really Really

I really really love her
It wasn't hard to do


I really really love her
It wasn't hard to do


She has to be the one
No one else could be such fun
The little things that make her mine
She's gonna stay with me all the time


I really ...


Now I know what it means
To always have you in my dreams
I don't know why you happened to me
This is the way its got to be




She's A Runaround

She doesn't know what she's feeling inside
She'll never get what she's never had
She wants to leave home but she can't get away
Always on her own every single day


Cos she's a run-around - what a total disaster
She's a run-around - she's got nothing to do
She's a run-around - doesn't know what she's after
She's a run-around - she hasn't a clue


She wishes she could live in a world of her own
Go someplace where she's not known
There's no more her to do any good
Can't get the satisfaction she wishes she could


Chorus




She Can Only Say No

I got to find a way to face the day
Got no time to hesitate
No more hanging around the door
Cos she can only say no


No boy has gone ahead and asked her straight
I don't have the time to wait
Don't know what I'm supposed to say
Though she can only say no


She can only say no - no - no


No boy has gone ahead and asked her straight
I don't have the time to wait
Don't know what I'm supposed to say
Though she can only say no




Smarter Than You

I'm a little intellectual
Some one who knows it all
I could be your summer special
You could be my New York doll - my doll


I'm a little intellectual
Some one who knows it all
I could be your summer special
You could be my New York doll - my doll


Smarter than you
Smarter than you
Smarter than you
Can't you see I'm
Smarter than you
Smarter than you
Smarter than you
Can't you see I'm


I met you we talk a little
Find you fascinating by five past ten
I kiss you and call you later
Cos I want to see you again - you again


Chorus




Teenage Kicks

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat ?
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine - she looks so good


I wanna hold you wanna hold you tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night


I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over cause I'm all alone
I need excitement oh I need it bad
And it's the best I've ever had


I wanna hold you ...




The Way Girls Talk

I've never kissed a girl before
Too shy to go outside the door
Ah who cares what right
I want to know what they're doing to night


Can't - listen to the way girls talk
Can't - listen to the way girls talk
Can't - listen to the way girls talk
Talk


Have you seen the way she looks at him
I don't believe the state they're in
Ah we don't have time
To fun of what we can fight


Can't ...


The boys said shout
The boys said shout
The boys said shout
The boys said shout


I hear she's going steady is she alright ?
I see she's got some other date tonight
Ah who cares what wrong
We always seem to hurt someone


Can't ...




Top Twenty

Talking on the telephone
The boys won't leave the girls alone
So what are you gonna do now ? hey hey hey


Top - top twenty - oh no
Top - top twenty - oh no
Top - top twenty - oh no


Take you for another ride
Its hard attempting suicide
And everything's ok - hey hey hey


Chorus


Can't get the things we want
Cos all the girls can do is taunt
Say what are we gonna do now ? hey hey hey


Chorus


Hey hey hey
I can't get no satisfaction
All I want is easy action baby
Hey hey hey




True Confessions

Don't look so surprised
You've been telling me lies
Its hard to wake up to your makeup
So let's take off that disguise


True - true - true - confessions


Let's sit down and sort this out
Its not so hard to talk about
I got a picture from your sister
There was writing on the back


True - true - true - confessions


?


Let's sit down and sort this out
Its not so hard to talk about
?
You can't even scream and should


Repeat first strophe


?




You've Got My Number

You've got my number
Why don't you use it
You know my name
You won't abuse it


If you wanna wanna wanna wanna
Wanna have someone to talk to


I'll pick you up
In my car
Take you home

If you wanna ...


Do it - do it - do it - do it
Why don't you ring my number ?
Why don't you ring my number now ?


Let's say goodbye
I couldn't stand it
You've got my number
Why don't you use it ?
