We all have fun at the weekend We all have fun out with our friends We all dress up at the weekend We all go out… Living in a chain store weekdays are passing over you Sitting like a deadbeat, killing time, wishing the day was through Teacher walks in and you wish you’d listened more to her at school People can’t change We all have fun at the weekend We all have fun out with our friends We all dress up at the weekend We all go out… Lying on the floor in a bedsit wondering who is who You’ve spent all your money now you’re flat broke honey it’s just not cool You love it when you’re in it, when you’re living for the minute and you’re no fool People can’t change Do you remember last night? I don’t remember last night But I’m gonna go and do it all again like I did last time Do you remember last night? I think I had a good time So I’m gonna go and do it all again…. We all have fun at the weekend We all have fun out with our friends We all dress up at the weekend We all go out… We all have fun at the weekend We all have fun out with our friends We all dress up at the weekend We all go out…

It doesn’t matter if you wear your heels I’m not going there It doesn’t matter how hard it feels you know I wouldn’t dare Get back, baby what you looking for? Step back, I know what you’re looking for. In the sack, it’s never gonna happen now Never gonna happen. It doesn’t matter if you paint your lips I’m not going there It matter if you wiggle your hips and they’re a good pair Oh honey, get back, baby take it easy Gotta switch tack, not so hot and sleazy Boom shackalack, oh you’re bright and breezy all the same All the same. Oh baby Your dirty mind You’re trying to tease me And you’re doing just fine It’s not that easy And it’s not a crime Just the wrong person Wrong time It doesn’t matter if you shave your legs, I’m not going there It doesn’t matter if you pay me compliments I don’t care Oh honey, get back, baby what you looking for? Step back. I know what you’re looking for In the sack, it’s never gonna happen now It’s never gonna happen. Oh baby Your dirty mind You’re trying to tease me And you’re doing just fine It’s not that easy And it’s not a crime Just the wrong person Wrong time Oh honey, get back, baby take it easy Gotta switch tack, not so hot and sleazy Boom shackalack, oh you’re bright and breezy all the same All the same. Oh honey, get back, baby take it easy Gotta switch tack, not so hot and sleazy Boom shackalack, oh you’re bright and breezy all the same All the same.

Wild Wild 03:21
You always say that you don’t understand Half of the things she says and does Just when you think you should apologize That’s when you start to feel the buzz Cos when you see her Things are wild, wild You should not be there Cos she’s just a child You’re her senior Your hair is wild, wild And she’s so sweet yeah And she makes you smile Wild, wild Wild, wild You always say your life is back to front I think you’re living in the past You know the truth is that you’re not so young And man it’s never gonna last Cos when you see her Things are wild, wild You should not be there Cos she’s just a child You’re her senior Your hair is wild, wild And she’s so sweet yeah And she makes you smile Wild, wild Wild, wild

Last night I dreamed about you Last night I dreamed that we were getting it on I found out all about you Now I wanna carry on, I wanna carry on Last night I dreamed about you Last night I dreamed that we were getting it on I found out all about you Now I wanna carry on, I wanna carry on I haven’t seen you for 5 long years You left your desk to find a better career I remember the day, everybody was in tears I never thought I’d see you again, my dear Last night I dreamed about you Last night I dreamed that we were getting it on I found out all about you Now I wanna carry on, I wanna carry on I used to watch you from a distance girl When you were close my state of mind would unfurl Such a guilty pleasure to imagine more that I can see Lord knows why it came back to me, but you did Now I’ll bet That’s as good as it gets But it was so real Girl it’s hard to forget Gonna look you up Find out if your about But it’s 5 long years And it’s just a stupid fantasy oh…. Last night I dreamed about you Last night I dreamed that we were getting it on I found out all about you Now I wanna carry on, why can’t we carry on

Meal Deal 04:47
I went out with an old friend And it turned into a late night Woke up needing water And food to put me right Now I’m a modern man and I’m watching my figure Gonna have to sell my clothes if I get any bigger So I went to the café with a disciplined head But forgot my good intentions the minute you said… (Do you wanna take a meal deal?) I only wanted fruit but it wasn’t included on the meal deal (Got me on the meal deal) I didn’t want crisps but I couldn’t resist because you got me on the deal (Got me on the meal deal) I didn’t wanna drink but you made me stop and think because it’s free on the meal deal The meal deal Went down with the man flu Laid low for the weekend Couldn’t eat if I wanted to Gonna try now im on the mend Introduce a little whilst I try to recoup A cereal bar or a carton of soup So I went to the café with a disciplined head But forgot my good intentions the minute you said… (Do you wanna take a deal deal?) I didn’t want much but you caught me in the clutches of the deal (Got me on the meal deal) My stomach feels teeny but I ordered a Panini on the meal deal (Got me on the meal deal) My mind says it’s tragic but I can’t resist the magic of the meal deal (Got me on the meal deal) The meal deal (Do you wanna take a meal deal?) I didn’t want brunch but I followed my hunch and now you (Got me on the meal deal) I know that it’s a fiddle but you caught me in the middle of the meal deal (Got me on the meal deal) Now you’re a crafty little fucker cos you know that I’m a sucker for the meal deal (Got me on the meal deal) The meal deal (Do you wanna take a meal deal?) I didn’t want much but you caught me in the clutches of the meal deal (Got me on the meal deal) I didn’t wanna drink but you made me stop and think because it’s free on the meal deal (Got me on the meal deal) Now you’re playing with my mind because you get me every time on your meal deal Got me on the meal deal Meal deal

My People 04:17
Sometimes I’m a fool I don’t see it, I don’t see it Like when everything’s cool I don’t need it, I don’t need it But sometimes life is hard And it takes some believing I know that I can trust you With my real, real feelings (cos you’re) My people, you’re my my people Looking out for me, we’re looking out for each other My people, you’re my my people Looking out for me, we’re looking out for each other And that’s the way it should be Some folks are immune They don’t see it, they don’t see it Always battling through Like it’s a sign of weakness, so they conceal it But sometimes life is hard And it takes some believing I know that I can trust you With my real, real feelings (cos you’re) My people, you’re my my people Looking out for me, we’re looking out for each other My people, you’re my my people Looking out for me, we’re looking out for each other And that’s the way it should be My people, you’re my my people Looking out for me, we’re looking out for each other My people, you’re my my people Looking out for me, we’re looking out for each other And that’s the way it should be

I wish you would recognize me with a little more than a smile I’m trying so hard to impress you that I think I’m going out of my mind With your calamine cheeks and your long black hair hanging halfway down your back I wish I was ten years older but I can’t do much about that You don’t know that you’re beautiful And I think that’s half the appeal I hope one day that I’ll find the courage To tell you how I feel But I probably won’t, no I probably won’t And it’s too late anyway Cos you’re getting married in the morning And the sense of a lost opportunity is finally dawning On me You’re getting married in the morning And the sense of a lost opportunity is finally dawning On me, on me, on me, on me. Your strange sense of humour and your tender voice They penetrate my soul You float like an angel across the carpet tiles I can’t help but watch you go You pass on breakfast and lunch And just have a salad for your tea Trying to stay thin to impress your man God I wish that it was me You don’t know that you’re beautiful And I think that’s half the appeal I hope one day that I’ll find the courage To tell you how I feel But I probably won’t, no I probably won’t And it’s too late anyway Cos you’re getting married in the morning And the sense of a lost opportunity is finally dawning On me You’re getting married in the morning And the sense of a lost opportunity is finally dawning On me, on me, on me, on me. So don’t marry him. Wait, I’ll give you everything No don’t marry him, wait, I’ll give you everything, everything that I can give.

Find me a space away from the money Far from the dust, the houses and crowds Bruce is a nut, he spent all his money In barbers on suits and chrome for the wheels You know it’s gonna be alright, We’re moving in circles Round and around Til the party comes back Alright We’re moving in circles Round and around Til the party comes back Follow the sun, out of the city Forming a tail, out through the countryside we go The sense is sublime, I’m just seventeen The beach is a coat, it’s a blanket of green You know it’s gonna be alright, We’re moving in circles Round and around Til the party comes back Alright We’re moving in circles Round and around Til the party comes back Til the party comes back Here’s the place that I love….
