20TH CENTURY BOY

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock and roll

I move like a cat
Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Babe I want to be your man

Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yea I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy

Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Ball like a hound
Babe I want to be your man

20th century boy
I want to be your toy
20th century boy
I want to be your toy

Oh Tyke baby

I'm a jive brain bender I'm everyone

Got electric deep in me
I'm a space age cowboy
Ride dinosaurs

They can't hurt though
'Cos you're cosmic

With all the conceptions
Moving in your brain

Don't you remember that we're just the London boys
Oh yea we're the London boys

Mighty mean mod king
Dressed like fame
London to Brighton
And then back again

Changing life's patterns
To get to the top
And when you get up there
You don't know if you're there or what

LASER LOVE

Gold mouth lady mix a drink for me
Lay beside me a solid company
You move on up, you move on back
Your laser love is like a heart attack

Lean clean woman lay a kiss on me
My love is strong like a raging sea
You move on up, you move on back
Your laser love is like a heart attack

Dance dance dance till the crack of dawn
Dance dance dance till your shoes are worn
You move on up, you move on back
Your laser love is like a heart attack

You move on up, you move on back
Your laser love is like a heart attack

LIFE’S AN ELEVATOR

Sat with a cat on your head
Alone at last
You cry with a sigh
Resurrecting all your past

Life’s an elevator
It goes up and down
Life’s an elevator
Can’t you dig the sound

Scenes from your past
Spread before the flaming dawn
Have faith in the hearts
Of the world they’re rocking on

Swift is the kill
Shadows fill the empty walls
Wild is the word
That enguls love sacred halls.

CITY PORT

City port, city port, city-city-city port

I went to the city port
City port took my blues away
I went to the city port
City port took my blues away, yes they did
I lost all my city cool
When I bought your midget show
I grew all debonaire
When I had the 1980's air, in your hair
That's right
I went to the city sight
A young love took my soul away
Peering eyes and Persian skies, removed my eyes
And took them right away, took them all away
Just like

I lost all my city cool
When I bought your midget show
City Port
And it took them, took them all away
And it took them, took them all away
City Port

DANDY IN THE UNDERWORLD

Prince of players
Pawn of none
Born with steel reins
In the heart of the sun

Gypsy explorer
Of the New Jersey Heights
Exalted companion
Of cocaine nights

'Cos he's a dandy in the underworld
Dandy in the underworld
When will he come up for air
Will anybody ever care

At old eighteen
Exiled he was
To the deserted kingdoms
Of the mythical Oz

Destruction he wanted
To destruction he fell
Now he forever stalks
The ancient mansions of hell

Now all of his lovers have left him
And his youth's ill spent
He cries in the dungeons
And tries to repent

The change is a monster
And changing is hard
So he'll freeze away his summers
In his underground yard

TAME MY TIGER

Sister sister
Won't you tame my tiger
Sister sister
Won't you tame my tiger
Won't you give me your love
Real wild

Mister mister

Won't you join my priestess
Mister mister

Won't you join my priestess
If you do my love I'm yours

Baby lady

Won't you tame my tiger
Baby lady

Won't you tame my tiger
Won't you give me your love
Right now

Baby baby won't you tame my tiger

CELEBRATE SUMMER

Hey little girl would you like a dance
Hey little girl want a quick romance
Hey little girl won't you take a chance
And celebrate summer with me

Hey little chick where did you learn that trick
Hey don't you know you got rock and roll
Hey little punk forget all that junk
And celebrate summer with me

Summer's not a bummer
This is summer
And it's now

Summer is heaven in '77

Hey little girl would you like a dance
Hey little girl want a quick romance
Hey little girl won't you be the one
To celebrate summer with me
