WE’RE GONG ON A JOURNEY
INTO ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’LL FIND THERE
BUT WE’RE – SURE GONNA HAVE SOME FUN

TRAVELLING ON OUR OWN NOW

WE DON’T KNOW WHERE WE’RE GOING TO
WE’RE ON OUR WAY AT LAST NOW
WE’RE OFF ON OUR ADVENTURE SO

WE DON’T KNOW WHERE WE’RE GOING TO
WE DON’T KNOW WHEN WE’LL GET THERE
BUT WHEN WE DO WE’LL KNOW

INTO ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME
WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’LL FIND THERE
BUT WE’RE – SURE GONNA HAVE SOME FUN

TRAVELLING ON OUR OWN NOW
WE’RE LEAVING EVERYONE BEHIND
GOING OFF ON OUR ADVENTURE
TO A FOREIGN LAND.

 

FIVE TO NINE AND WE’RE RUNNING TO EAT
COULD THAT BE THE “DONCASTERS” IN OUR SEAT?
EVERY MORNING FILLED WITH QUIET DREAD
IT’S OKAY LADY WE’LL TALK OVER YOUR HEAD

LOOKING ALONG TO THE BEACHCOMBER BAR
THE RAIN KEEPS FALLING BUT IT’S NOT THAT FAR
SITTING AT THE TABLE DRINKING “MALLING GRANGE”
TELLING THE WAITRESS JUST TO KEEP THE CHANGE

IS THAT THE DAMBUSTERS, WHERE’S UNCLE CHRIS?
THE MADONNA COPYCATS WILL PERSIST
LOOK OVER THERE IT’S “PUSH BUTTON CLICK”,
WHICH LITTLE MADAM WILL THEY PICK

CALLING, CALLING, CALLING

LOOKING ALONG TO THE BEACHCOMBER BAR
THE RAIN KEEPS FALLING BUT IT’S NOT THAT FAR
SITTING AT THE TABLE DRINKING “MALLING GRANGE”
TELLING THE WAITRESS JUST TO KEEP THE CHANGE

TOM AND JIMMY SCREAM UP THE MACHINE
IT’S TIME FOR BONZO TO INTERVENE
ANOTHER TEN PENCE GETS FIFTY BACK
ENOUGH FOR TODAY LET’S GO FOR A SNACK

CALLING, CALLING, CALLING

LOOKING FOR FOOD AT THE STROKE OF TWELVE
EIGHT FISH SUPPERS ALL FOR OURSELVES
TAKE THEM BACK TO THE UNPADDED CELL
I MUST BE DRUNK COS I DON’T FEEL WELL

CALLING, CALLING, CALLING

CALLING, CALLING, CALLING

CALLING, CALLING, CALLING

 

IS THIS REAL, I’M GETTING CONFUSED
MY MIND CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE
I DON’T KNOW, WHAT IS RIGHT OR WHAT IS WRONG
AM I DREAMING ONCE AGAIN?

DAY IS NIGHT (DAY IS NIGHT)
NIGHT IS DAY
YOU ARE TELLING ME TO RUN AWAY (YOU ARE TELLING ME)
FIRST YOU’RE THERE (FIRST YOU’RE THERE)
THEN YOU’RE HERE (IT’S NOT CLEAR)
IT’S NOT CLEAR

WHEN I WAKE, THINGS WILL BE RIGHT
EVERYTHING WILL BE THE SAME
THOUGH YOU SAID, IT WOULD NOT BE LONG
TILL I’M DREAMING ONCE AGAIN

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? (WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?)
HOW DO I KNOW THAT IS TRUE?
IN THIS DREAM
I SHOULD SCREAM (I SHOULD SCREAM)
AND I DO (AND I DO)

WHEN I DREAM, I THINK, I KNOW
THAT THIS IS NOT REALITY
BUT I’M NOT SURE, MAYBE I’M WRONG
MY MIND’S PLAYING TRICKS ON ME

WHAT YOU’RE SAYING TO ME
DOESN’T MAKE MUCH SENSE AT ALL (WHAT YOU’RE SAYING TO ME)
WHY CAN’T I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN? (WHY CAN’T I UNDERSTAND)
WAS IT ALL IN MY HEAD
DID NOTHING REALLY HAPPEN AT ALL? (WAS IS ALL IN MY HEAD)
PLEASE DON’T TELL ME THAT IT WAS A DREAM (DON’T TELL ME IT’S A DREAM)

 

SITTING IN THE STATION ON MY OWN
I WILL SOON BE ON MY WAY
THE SUMMER’S OVER NOW
I’M GOING HOME

I’VE HAD FUN WHILE I’VE BEEN IN THIS TOWN
BUT ALL GOOD TIMES HAVE TO END
I’VE SAID MY GOODBYES
TO MY NEW FRIENDS

SPEEDING THROUGH THE OPEN COUNTRYSIDE
AUTUMN LEAVES ARE TURNING BROWN
I’M HEADING BACK
TO MY HOME TOWN

THE SUMMER’S GONE, I’M GOING HOME
THE SUMMER’S GONE, I’M GOING HOME

NOW I’M NEARLY HOME I CANNOT WAIT
TO SEE THE OLD FACES AGAIN
ALTHOUGH I EXPECT
THAT NOTHING’S CHANGED
(STILL THE SAME)
NOTHING’S CHANGED
(STILL THE SAME)
NOTHING’S CHANGED
(STILL THE SAME)
NOTHING’S CHANGED
(STILL THE SAME)
NOTHING’S CHANGED
(STILL THE SAME)
NOTHING’S CHANGED
(STILL THE SAME)

I’M GOING HOME.

 

ANGIE AND JOHN WENT ABOUT THEIR DAILY BUSINESS
NOT KNOWING OR SUSPECTING WHAT FATE HAD PLANNED
THEY BUMPED INTO EACH OTHER AND THEIR EYES GAZED DEEPLY
SHE SAID “I’M SORRY”, AND HE TOOK HER HAND

THEY MARRIED IN A CHURCH, ALL THEIR FRIENDS WERE IN ATTENDANCE
THE BRIDE WAS REALLY LOVELY AS SHE WALKED DOWN THE AISLE,
PLANS WERE ALL MADE, EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE
BUY A LITTLE HOUSE, HAVE SOME CHILDREN IN A WHILE

ONE YEAR LATER
A LITTLE BOY
THEY WERE SO HAPPY

A LITTLE GIRL NEXT
JUST LIKE THEY PLANNED
THEY WENT WALKING, WALKING HAND IN HAND

THAT WAS THE BEGINNING, BUT NOT IT’S ALL ENDING
FIVE YEARS OF BLISS AND THEN TWO OF HATE
THE KIDS ARE TOO YOUNG, THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON
MUMMY HAS TOLD THEM DAD’S STAYING WITH A MATE

 

MOTHER SAYS IT’S COLD TODAY
SO WRAP UP WELL AND DON’T DELAY
KEEP HANDS IN GLOVES AND SCARF WOUND TIGHT
AND BE HOME BY EIGHT TONIGHT

HIS HAIR IS CUT WHEN SHE DECIDES
IT’S GROWING TOO LONG AT THE SIDES
HIS SHOES ARE POLISHED TILL THEY GLEAM
AND TROUSERS IRONED ON THE SEAM

HE HAS A SECRET THAT HE KEEPS
HE DREAMS ABOUT IT AS HE SLEEPS
SHE DOESN’T KNOW, SHE’S NEVER GUESSED
HE DOESN’T EVER WEAR HIS VEST
X2

HIS LAST BIRTHDAY WAS A TREAT
MOTHER FED HIM ON RED MEAT
SHE GAVE ANOTHER PAIR OF SOCKS
LET HIM STAY UP TILL TEN O’CLOCK

THE TV SET IS HARDLY ON
SHE THINKS IT WILL CORRUPT HER SON
EXCEPT FOR ‘SONGS OF PRAISE’ OF COURSE
HE SINGS ALONG TILL HE IS HOARSE

HE HAS A SECRET THAT HE KEEPS
HE DREAMS ABOUT IT AS HE SLEEPS
SHE DOESN’T KNOW, SHE’S NEVER GUESSED
HE DOES’NT EVER WEAR HIS VEST
X2

 

AFTER FIVE MINUTES OR SO I KNEW HIS NAME
AND HE THOUGHT THAT HE KNEW MINE
WE SAT AND TALKED AND THEN HE ASKED ME
IF AND WHERE I’D CARE TO DINE
WE WENT OUT TO THE BEST RESTAURANT
THAT HE COULD POSSIBLY AFFORD
AND THEN I REALLY GAVE HIM QUITE A SHOCK
WHEN I TOLD HIM I WAS BORED

HE WAS THE GUY WHO BROKE MY SISTER’S HEART
HE DIDN’T KNOW ME SO I HAD A START
I WAS OUT FOR VENGEANCE
LITTLE DID HE KNOW
I WANTED TO KILL HIM
LIKE HE KILLED DOMINO

THE STARS WEREN’T OUT THE STREETS WERE EMPTY
HE TOOK ME TO THE MISTY PARK
WE SAT UPON THE WOODEN BENCHES
THEN SCREAMS RANG OUT INTO THE DARK
MY HANDS WERE BLOODY AND THE KNIFE WAS DULL
IT TOOK MINUTES AND THEN HE WAS DEAD
I WALKED ALONE INTO THE SILENT NIGHT
AND HER VOICE WAS IN MY HEAD

HE WAS THE GUY WHO BROKE MY SISTER’S HEART
DE DIDN’T KNOW ME SO I HAD A START
I WAS OUT FOR VENGEANCE
LITTLE DID HE KNOW
I WANTED TO KILL HIM
LIKE HE KILLED DOMINO

 

IT SEEMED SO LONG SINCE THE SUN LAST SHONE
BUT NOW YOU’RE BACK AND THE CLOUDS ARE GONE
THE DAYS WERE LONG AND THE NIGHTS WERE TOO
BUT NOW THEY FLY PAST BECAUSE OF YOU

BUT I REMEMBER THE TIMES YOU WERE AWAY (SO LONG)
CAN’T FORGET ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID THAT DAY
SHE CALLED AND YOU WENT AWAY

YOU SAY TO ME THAT YOU’RE BACK FOR GOOD
HOME TO STAY LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD
BUT I’M NOT SURE THAT I’LL EVER BE
FREE FROM THE PAIN OF YOUR LEAVING ME

BUT I REMEMBER THE TIMES YOU WERE AWAY (SO LONG)
CAN’T FORGET ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID THAT DAY
SHE CALLED AND YOU WENT AWAY

WE’RE LAUGHING AND DRINKING
BUT I CAN’T HELP THINKING
DO YOU MEAN IT THIS TIME, THAT YOU’LL STAY

PLEASE DON’T DECEIVE ME
AND TELL ME YOU NEED ME
I LOVE YOU SO DON’T GO AWAY

IT SEEMED SO LONG SINCE THE SUN LAST SHONE
BUT NOW YOU’RE BACK AND THE CLOUDS ARE GONE
THE DAYS WERE LONG AND NIGHTS WERE TOO
BUT NOW THEY FLY PAST BECAUSE OF YOU

BUT I REMEMBER THE TIMES YOU WERE AWAY (SO LONG)
CAN’T FORGET ALL THE THINGS YOU SAID THAT DAY
SHE CALLED AND YOU WENT AWAY
