Fun at the Weekend
03:15

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.

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

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….
