What a way To End It All
Goodbye cruel world and chererio
Ta Ta this time I've got to go
Goodbye cruel world it's time to go
You've got it made I'm out of luck
Why doesn't somebody call me up?
The numbers in the book
But if I'm going to do this thing
It should be off the hook
I don't like it but it's better this way
I can't take it for another day
I wont make it any other way
Excuse me now I just can't stay
I don't like it but it's better this way
I can't take for another day

Where's the Weekend?
Morning call, what's in store operator?
Nine to five such a bore, see you later
Pack you things off we go, make it soon please
Like you style don't you know, balmy days these
It's not who but what you know
Saturdays the day to go
Got my pay yesterday, blown it all
That's the way, earning dough, feeling low, easy go, easy go
Monday comes, Tuesday goes (We wont worry)
Wednesday runs Thursday slows (What's the hurry?)
Friday's here, here we go (Where's the money?)
I'm in style for a while (What's so funny?)
It's not who but what you know
Saturdays the day to go
Got my pay yesterday, blown it all
That's the way, earning dough, feeling low, easy go, easy go
Qu'est-ce que c'est? Je ne sais pas de tout What is it? I don't know at all
Think I might have a laugh in the deep end
Black and white photographs (Where's the weekend, now!)

Cocktails At Eight
Oh, I was helpless in her hands though
Sweet mystery of life was there
A whiff of moonlight sands and seas oh!
That disappeared into air
She said she didn't want a romance
Just something casual to wear
I thought I might just have a slight chance
To make a rendezvous with her
We made it cocktails a eight
It was a sure fire date
And I was over the moon
But I was mooning to soon
She was a dame with real class
I thought I'd have one more glass
And when I looked at my watch
It was the hour at last
But still my date didn't show
I watched the time come and go
And so I drank like a boy
And oh the night went so slow
Now the waiter was grinning
At this devil with women
Both his eyes on the door
Oh yes, he'd seen this before
I told the barman my tale
As he was ringing my sale
He said "You can't win them all"
And he asked if that would be all

Bigger Splash
Do you really mean to say
That it's all over we've had our day?
How can you mean it when you sleep away?
This is walking on autumn leaves
It's just a melodramatic song
Make a dash, a bigger splash
Yesterday what it brings
It's almost daylight and were throwing things
You're not he only one I know who swings
Same again now it's just like that
Walking along in the wind and the rain on the promenade
It's a start, it's a start
Make a dash, a bigger splash
(a bigger splash than the one before)

Knock, Knock, Knockin'
When I'm away from you
I have time for the things I want to do
'cos I want nothing to do with you
I get the ring, ring, ring on the telephone
I getcha knock, knock, knocking on my door
I want to Kick, kick, kick ya on the floor
What do you want? What do you need? It can't be me!
Go, get out and stay away
Leave off and get out of my way
'Cos I want nothing to do with you
Y' make me beat, beat, beat my head against the wall
You only nag, nag, nag me when you call
You know I'd hit, hit, hit you if you weren't small
What do you want? What do you need? It can't be me!
A chest of tears, a chest of pain
A case of fears, again and again
Betty : Throw me in, throw me out, throw me round & round about

2nd Honeymoon
Silver sands and birds and sea of course
Tightly held hands and me and you of course
Riding together on one hired horse
A second time around to see
If we could find a little magic now
A brief encounter with ourselves
If we could fan a fading flame somehow
And find that place in which love dwells
But isn't this a scene from some old movie
A pretty, but useless escapade
And sometimes it's all right
And it's all right sometimes
And when it's not you know
It will be won't it though
We'll just pretend we're passing strangers now
Two calling sirens in the fog
Pretend that fate will lend a hand somehow
And just by chance make our paths cross
And though we have the brilliant stars above
That look like tea trays in the sky
There more to second honeymoons old love
There more to this than meets the eye

Get Set Ready Go
Suburb living really gets you down
So you take the car, drive it to town
A better place and a change of pace
Change down gear, drive round and round
Get set, ready go in the night
Low key night life fells kinda right
Muzak, soft light, don't you think the time is right
For your favourite drink?
Need a match? Don't I know you face?
Another gamble, another race
Move in close then shoot a line
I got the money if you've got the time
Check out your coat, it's another drive
So late, wait, find another dive
A cigarette and a certain bet
It's the time and place. Good to be alive
Oh brother one of those nights
Another one of those nights
City lights and cold night air
Up down, stagger round, almost there
Another night over, a day begun
And your so worried about the shape you're in

Nearly Moonlit Night Motel
In some secluded sober place
Where we could disappear without a trace
And with your hand held tight in mine
We'd sign as Mr. & Mrs. Simply Divine
Then in that July noon day sun
We more or less agreed that business should be fun
Though it was 90 in the shade
I paid too much for fizzy iced lemonade
5 & 6 are on the second floor
Two singles with an adjoining door
I think that I could make you mine
But, yes I know in rhyme that sounds a rather corny line
And though we'll be leaving soon
This business trip is sending me up to the moon
Memories I think are made of this
My Petty I will miss the sheer bliss of your kiss
And in the morning we'd rise
I'd like to sigh and kiss the night time dearie from your eyes
Please could we stay? - Oh no we shouldn't
But we should stay? --- Oh no we shouldn't
Don't run away -------- I really mustn't
Was romance in? To soon to tell
In the nearly moonlit night motel
It was more beautiful by far you know
The overnight bags in he car to go
Vacate by noon and bring us down to earth
We'll be there soon, for what's it's worth

Room Service
Room service.....room service
Send up a scotch and soda, a dry martini and a single white... orchid
Oh, don't be cruel
No please don't make me wait
Hold back the dawn because she's always late
All this and heaven too could not make me more in the mood for you, oh no
Don't be cruel
No, please don't stay away
Open your heart if you can find the way
And if you're planning not to call, do think again
I guess that's all, oh no
Oh, don't be cruel
No, please don't make me cry
Don't give your heart to another guy
I'm trying hard but I can't hide this feeling that I've got inside, oh no
Room service.....room service
Cancel the dry martini and call the theatre would you
Tell them.... tell them..... we won't be arriving... tonight...

Hi Jo Hi
Hi Jo Hi my my my
You're looking high see you know
Can't be late it's a charity date
Got to cut the ribbon at the vicar's fete
The next door bus don't leave 'til eight
What would they say if I was late
Hello Ace, you've shaved your face
Didn't you have a beard, weren't you kind of weird?
Uh huh Jane I'm kind of still the same
I'm in the present tense, don't mean to give offence
Hi Jock woah, ain't it time to go?
Hope you've got your car, though it's not too far
Oh no Bill, been kinda ill
Didn't you see the news?
Better now, I took my pills
Good to be back with all of you

Snapshots
No smiles, it's better for both of us. This
hard way, it's the only way on such a very
strange thing you're taking me into such a
cruel spin. Oh the spin that I'm in
Slow Down, you leave me standing
I don't think so fast
Oh we must find the best way
For this thing can't last
Stop now, it's better behind us, faded
snapshots or whatever you've got, it's just like
old times, but I didn't tell you these
old flames are never the same oh no
Over I'm head over heels, could be the
real thing and all that brings, oh it's so
up down, got to get by, although it
it feels good I knew that it would

Final Act
It's ten to twelve, close the door
Don't let him in, I won't see any more of the boys
I don't like the noise
Could be it's me
Did you see their eyes, hear their sighs
Pleading for more at the last curtain call?
I could weep, I'm ready for sleep
Could be it's me
My dressing rooms strewn with costumes and flowers
Admirers and friends who've waited for hours
Telegrams, cards and casual hellos
Don't like what I see in the mirror
Did my make-up run
Was it overdone
Under the lights
Had no time to be frightened or scared
But nobody cared
Could be it's me
Don't like what I see in the mirror
