You know your love is so good I don’t treat you like I should I’m not the guy I used to be You really can’t rely on me……. It’s like I’m built on shifting sand It’s like I’m built on shifting sand It’s like I’m built on shifting sand Spose I’m non-committal I know you’ve got your eye on me But I’ve got no stability Commitment always makes me run Although we’ve had a lot of fun…. It’s like I’m built on shifting sand It’s like I’m built on shifting sand It’s like I’m built on shifting sand Spose I’m non-committal I like to be the soul of the party Walk into a room with you beside me But my eyes are always wandering around….. Looks like the sands are shifting Looks like the sands are shifting I really don’t think that I’m mean You never know where I have been You and me are very close But time has gone and now we’re toast!!!!! It’s like I’m built on shifting sand It’s like I’m built on shifting sand It’s like I’m built on shifting sand Spose I’m non-committal I like to be the soul of the party Walk into a room with you beside me But my eyes are always wandering around….. It’s like I’m built on shifting sand It’s like I’m built on shifting sand It’s like I’m built on shifting sand Spose I’m non-committal

I knew the first time I saw you mm mm mm mm I knew the first time I saw you mm mm mm mm I knew the first time I saw you I knew that I’d be untrue Collecting my coat before you In the cloakroom queue I had a girl to go home to I had a taxi on the street But you turned and raised an eyebrow And I felt your body heat Then you started talking Taxi gone I started walking Heading back to your place And me heading for, for disgrace Now I’m a long way from perfect But there’s just so much I can take And when I look into the face of perfection I can take the fall from grace Yeah……….Yeah….. You slipped into the bathroom And so I got on the phone I said I’m running late don’t wait up I’ll take a late taxi home I’ll take a late taxi home I’ll take a late late taxi home Yeah---yeah--- yeah--- yeah You wore the latest fashion And we got down to passion I was dazzled by the way that you looked I knew then that I was totally hooked I put off taking that taxi And turning my key in the door It was a fatal hesitation Next thing it was half past four I’ll take a late taxi home I’ll take a late late taxi home I’ll take a late taxi home Still waiting for a taxi home Still waiting for a taxi home Still waiting for a taxi ho home Still waiting for a taxi ho home Still waiting for a taxi home!!! So I started walking……

Bad Salad 03:10
I know there’s a place I know there’s a time It’s not always easy to find the rhythm or rhyme I know that we should If only we could Discuss it together instead of the weather It’s no good just thinking we have to start speaking next time We never had the time for each other To say whatever made us feel better The time has gone to get back together it’s true The children are fine They’re both yours and mine Both so much older respectful and bolder They have their own places they’ve looked at our faces and both want us happy I’m sure……..it’s time…. We never had the time for each other To say whatever made us feel better To talk of us instead of the others we knew We never have the time any longer to say the words that made us feel stronger now we’ve arrived together but separate we two. We never had the time for each other To say whatever made us feel better To talk of us instead of the others we knew It hurts through and through Whatever we do No more indecision we both know what we have to do.

No Smoke 03:26
I’ve had enough of this routine mm mm mm mm I can never tell where you’ve been mm mm mm mm But I know where you’ve been seen mm mm mm mm You’re acting like you’re still eighteen There’s no smoke without fire There’s no smoke without fire Sweet smooth words of a liar Only gonna fan the flame—higher ---- whistle I find it hard to believe mm mm mm mm Think I’m so naïve? mm mm mm mm What a tangled web we weave mm mm mm mm Who you trying to deceive There’s no smoke without fire There’s no smoke without fire Sweet smooth words of a liar Only gonna fan the flame-- higher I’m going back to my other love my old guitar You’re going back to your Mother love so Au Revoir You lose out to my other love music by far I’ll play my guitar- play my guitar There’s no smoke without fire Sweet smooth words of a liar Only gonna fan the flame higher-- higher –higher I’m going back to my other love my old guitar You’re going back to your Mother love so Au Revoir You lose out to my other love music by far I’ll play my guitar- play my guitar There’s no smoke without fire Sweet smooth words of a liar Only gonna fan the flame higher Only gonna fan the flame higher Fire….fire….fire…fire

Whispers……….. Hi Babe I’m back! You ask me do I care, well I think that’s unfair For all the things I do for you You should know now my love is true You sometimes say I’m weak You stifle me so I can’t speak My love for you is never ending Not sure of these vibes you’re sending I will not defaulter I’ll give consistent affirmation On my obligations Under cross-examination There you go again I think I’m needing Zen Your confidence it needs a boosting There’s nothing I can see you’re losing Why are you unsure You’re beautiful and that’s for sure I’m with you till the end There’s nothing broke that needs to mend I will not defaulter I’l give consistent affirmation On my obligations Under cross-examination I will not defaulter I promise yer!! on my obligations whatever went down before I’ve come to my conclusion To shatter your illusion You don’t believe a word I’m saying You’ve got to know that I am staying I will not defaulter I’ll give consistent affirmation On my obligations Under cross-examination I will not defaulter I’ll give consistent affirmation On-my-obligations Under cross examination I will not defaulter I promise yer On my obligations whatever went down before whatever went down before whatever went down before whatever went down before whispers…….

Fool 03:09
I try and call you up But you’re never home I think I’d better stop I know I’m left here on my own I sometimes leave a message You don’t return my call You’ve lifted up a drawbridge And I can’t scale the wall I’m a fool I know It’s starting to show I try and track you down but you’re never in town It’s time that I moved on I know that you’ve gone…… I thought you were the one On whom I could rely Thought you were out with the girls When you were out with a guy I’m fed up staying at home On my own….. It’s time that I moved on Open my eyes to the view Such a lovely landscape without you….. Don’t you worry about me Plenty more fish in the sea Take my net and cast it into the endless blue I’m a fool I know It’s starting to show I try and track you down but you’re never in town It’s time that I moved on I know that you’ve gone…… I thought you were the one On whom I could rely Thought you were out with the girls When you were out with a guy I’m fed up staying at home On my own….. I sit at home contemplating Drive in my car I’m fed up waiting I’ve been there once before I see him at your door!!! I’m a fool I know It’s starting to show I try and track you down but you’re never in town It’s time that I moved on I know that you’ve gone…… I thought you were the one On whom I could rely Thought you were out with the girls When you were out with a guy I’m fed up staying at home On my own….. Cha Cha Cha, Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!!

Got no money and life is a drag Penny pinching and poncing a fag Who gives a shit about austerity? Food on the table 1st priority But there’s something I can do I can go outside and shake my money tree See the cash cascade and fall so easily I can go outside and shake my money tree Cash cascading just for me Go outside and shake my money shake my money tree…… Feel at home drinking Dom Perignon I go showroom, she goes down the salon I buy the car, she finds a new dress Things are changing we have lots of finesse But the neighbours aren’t impressed I'll go outside and shake my money tree See the cash cascade and fall so easily I can go outside and shake my money tree Cash cascading just for me Go outside and shake my money tree…… Shake shake shake shake…..my money tree Shake shake shake shake…..my money tree Shake my money tree Lots of cash fancy cars and a suit Upmarket shopping filling the boot There is nothing I cannot afford There is nowhere that remains unexplored But the neighbours think I’m a fraud When I’m outside shaking my money tree Cash cascading down so readily I can go outside and shake my money tree Cash cascading just for me Shake my money shake my money tree…… I can go outside and shake my money tree See the cash cascade and fall so easily I can go outside and shake my money tree Cash cascading just for me Go outside and shake my money tree……

Backstabber 04:00
When you hear this I bet you agree For some people this comes naturally They pretend they’re your friend And pat you on the back while all the time They’re trying to get you the sack You know who I mean you even know their name They chat in your team but they’re not the same When your back is turned they slip through that door And that’s the time they’re not friends anymore There’s no glamour, you’re just a backstabber There’s no glamour, you’re just a backstabber Your ears start burning you feel the pain That jealous streak has gone and hit them again They’re in there busy trying to mow you down While all the time it’s them that looks like a clown It’s hard enough just to go to work The last thing you need is have to work with a jerk They’ve got no friends it’s true I suppose The only cure is a punch on the nose There’s no glamour, you’re just a backstabber There’s no glamour, you’re just a backstabber There’s no glamour, there’s no fancy grammar You have to smile cos they’re so phoney Everyone knows they’re sad and lonely Just carry on you’re doing fine May you flourish while they decline There’s no glamour, there’s no fancy grammar There’s no manners there’s only snakes and ladders There’s no glamour, there’s no fancy grammar There’s no manners there’s only snakes and ladders
