SHANGHAI MOON
(Gold/Gouldman/Stephen Bishop)
There’s a paper dragon, above makeshift sheds
Fireworks and smoke in sky blood red
The whistles and bells gonna fill up a young boy’s head
All Kansas City born and bred
From a parasol, pretty china doll in the dimsung room
His soul stands still, her eyes are diamond filled
Call her Shanghai Moon
He wants to touch her, he wants to speak
He wants to move but his legs are weak
She smiles so sweetly, takes his quivering hand
Whispering words he don’t understand
His head starts to swoon
But he can’t come in from this jade lagoon
Soon the bed starts to sway
Like the junk out in the bay
Under Shanghai moon
He says I love you, come away with me
I’ll takes places you’ve never seen
She says I almost be 16
Call me Shanghai Moon
Suddenly he’s a stranger in a foreign land
Way over his head like an old gap band
She takes his money, he drinks her scotch
He falls asleep as she takes his watch
She is living best she can, keeps her rice behind a fan
Call her Shanghai Moon
She’s a nightmare, she’s a dream
She’s the best he’s ever seen
Shanghai Moon
He says I love you, come away with me
I’ll take you places you’ve never seen
She says I almost be 16 soon
Call me Shangai
Shanghai Moon, Shanghai Moon
Shanghai Moon, Shanghai Moon
Shanghai, Shanghai

SOMETIMES
(Gouldman/Gold)
There are days you always wanted
There are days you never win
Days you wake up feeling haunted
Days you feel alive again
Days that start out warm and fuzzy
Finish jagged in the end
Sometimes I can’t tell where from when
There are folks who you can talk to
Those who won’t return your call
There are people who support you
Ones that want to see you fall
That’s not counting all the people
Who don’t have no friends at all
Sometimes I feel my life has stalled
I think you want me
I really do
Then you tell me that’s not true
I like your friends
‘Cause they keep me amused
Seems like I just can’t lose
Yes I’ll take another step
‘Cause I hope to get somewhere
Guess I gotta start out here
If I wanna end up there
Every foot I put before me
Puts me back where I began
Sometimes it’s more than I can stand
Never ending all this change
Every day it’s rearranged
I’d be happy staying the same
I know that it won’t remain
There are places I’ll remember
There are places I’ll forget
If there’s somewhere more confusing
Well I haven’t been there yet
Yes I started out by runnin’
Now I’m lucky if I crawl
Sometimes it’s just no fun at all
Sometimes it’s just no fun
Sometimes it’s no damn fun at all

FIRST TIME IN LOVE
(Gouldman/Gold)
Honey, our little girl’s all grown up
Talks on the phone for hours
Lately don’t you think she’s too made up
And who’s been sending flowers
She acts so much like we did way back when
It’s just the same I swear
Do you remember what it felt like then
Walking on sunshine, walking on air
It’s her first time in love
Yeah, it’s her first time in love
And it’s the best time of all
Giving your heart for the first time
Tonight they’ll promise they won’t ever part
And whisper soft and low
Sweet nothings in the back of his car
Steaming up the windows
She’ll hold him close the way that you held me
Won’t want to say goodnight
No one can stop a love that runs so deep
We’ve given her wings, got to let her fly
It’s her first time in love
Yeah, it’s her first time in love
And it’s the best time of all
Giving your heart for the first time
It’s her first time in love
Yeah, it’s her first time in love
And it’s the best time of all
Giving your heart for the first time
She’s a big girl now
So, honey, can’t you see
She’s turned out just as wild
As you and me
Why panic if she comes home
Her hair a little messed
Show a little bit of faith
And a little bit of trust
It’s her first time
And it’s the best time
Giving her heart for the first time
It’s her first time in love
Yeah, it’s her first time in love
And it’s the best time of all
Giving your heart for the first time

VICTORIA
(Gold/Gouldman)
Oh Victoria, Oh Victoria
Oh Victoria, Oh Victoria
Two chairs in an empty room
Two people stand out of tune
We’re strangers now
Who missed somehow
Along the way
Both wondering how to start
Talk’s cheap when you’re worlds apart
Intentions good misunderstood
Too much wasted time
I don’t wanna say that you’ve been good to me
I don’t wanna say that you’ve been bad to me
I really only wanted to be good for me
And good for you
Two victims of circumstance
The price you pay for a second chance
Let defences fall
Break down this wall
Won’t you talk to me
Oh Victoria, don’t let this go too far
Oh Victoria, don’t want to fight this war
Oh Victoria, don’t let this go too far
Oh Victoria
I don’t wanna say that you’ve been good to me
I don’t wanna say that you’ve been bad to me
I really only wanted to be good for me
And good for you
Two chairs in an empty room
Two people stand out of tune
We’re strangers now
Who missed somehow
Along the way
Oh Victoria, don’t let this go too far
Oh Victoria, don’t want to fight this war
Oh Victoria, don’t let this go too far
Oh Victoria, don’t want to fight this war
Oh Victoria, no, no, no, no
Oh Victoria, Oh Victoria
Oh Victoria, Oh Victoria

DON’T BREAK MY HEART
(Gold/Gouldman)
I saw you talk to him again
I thought that you were through
And he and you were just good friends
But when I saw you both stand so close
My heart just froze
Now don’t make us part, don’t make us part
Don’t break my heart now baby
We kissed so tenderly last night, so tenderly last night
I thought when I held you
That I saw true love in your eyes but
You never looked the way I saw you look at him today
Don’t break my heart, don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart now baby
What am I gonna do if you run on back to him
What am I gonna do if you say goodbye
What am I gonna do without you by my side
He’ll never care for you half as much as I do so
Don’t break my heart, don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart now baby
What am I gonna do if you run on back to him
What am I gonna do if you say goodbye
What am I gonna do without you by my side
Don’t break my heart, don’t break my heart
Don’t make us part now baby
Fools rush in so think about it
Don’t break my heart, don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart now baby
Don’t break my heart again
Don’t break my heart again
Don’t break my heart again

LET’S HAVE SOME LUNCH SOMETIME
(Gold/Gouldman)
Let’s go down to Malibu, watch the sunset
I call you up, I say let’s get together,
Oh can we go to a show, is it yes or no oh, oh, oh
I’m only asking, baby, for a simple answer
But every time I do, you give me gobbledegook
Just like this…
Let’s have some lunch sometime
Could we touch base
I appreciate your input, baby
Just call my agent, I can relate to that
No sweat…
I left a message on his phone machine
He never called me back
A typical lack of courtesy
So I drove to his house somewhere in Beverley Hills
And he was out by the pool
??? to take you out
And he said
Let me invade your space
Let me bounce this off you
??? ???
Of course she’ll call you
We’ll take a meeting and have a real nice day
Ciao baby
Why don’t you talk right, like a normal human being
Cuz I’m finding you hard to understand
Just look at this moonlight
It’s going to waste now, baby
We should be kissing
Listen, don’t talk at all
Miss sincerely
You’re a beautiful human being, don’t change
Let’s have some lunch sometime
Could we touch base
I appreciate your input, baby
Just call my agent, I can relate to that
Ciao baby
Let me invade your space
Let me bounce this off you
Put one on one
If it suits you, maybe
Let’s take a meeting soon and
Have a real nice day
Ciao baby, ciao baby
Totally, for sure, a beautiful life
Don’t ever change, you’re beautiful

THE KING OF SHOWBIZ
(Gold/Gouldman)
Everybody needs someone who loves them
Needs a storybook romance to star in
I’m no different, I need someone too
She doesn’t have to be the new Jean Harlow
Just somebody who’ll be there where I go
One who loves me like I’m loving you
I don’t live to be the king of showbiz
That’s not my ideal of what success is
All I need’s a leading lady to get me through the day
I don’t have to be the toast of Broadway
People hanging on each word that I say
All I really want is good reviews from you
When we’re together it’s as good as candy
Love that’s warmer than a late night movie
No pretending, happy endings too
Keep you sheltered from the stormy weather
A double feature that will run forever
Into the sunset riding side by side
I don’t live to be the king of showbiz
That’s not my ideal of what success is
All I need’s a leading lady to get me through the day
Hey, I don’t have to be the toast of Broadway
People hanging on each word that I say
All I really want is good reviews from you
I don’t have to be the king of showbiz
That’s not my ideal of what success is
All I need’s a leading lady to get me through the day
I don’t have to be the toast of Broadway
People hanging on each word that I say
All I need’s a leading lady to get me through the day
I don’t have to be the king of showbiz
That’s not my ideal of what success is
All I really want is good reviews from you

HOLIDAY
(Gold/Gouldman)
We’re all going on a holiday
We’re all going on a holiday
Let’s spend some time without worries,
Doing what we wanna do
Instead of breaking our backs for no money
Or praying for some work to do.
We’re all going on a holiday
Why don’t you leave it, come on a holiday
Forget what you read in the papers
Forget what you see on TV
To hell with the world’s situation
Come on vacation with me.
We’re on a holiday, a magic holiday
The kids are out of school
Now the only rule is feeling okay
We’re on a holiday, we’re on a holiday
It takes your breath away, it takes your breath away
To see the sun break through,
It’s shining for you on a holiday
You’d float around in the water,
I’d fall asleep in the sand
Trees gently sway to the music
We’ll have a drink on the beach with the band
On a holiday, a magic holiday
We’ll see the sun break through,
It’s shining for you on a holiday
John’s in the back seat kissing Mary
Got a hand on the wheel and a hand on Sherry
Fiddling with the radio
Sun goes down and away we go
Pretty girls sitting on a carousel
Prove your strength to your girlfriend ringa that bell
Candy floss tastes so good
You’d hit that bolt – I’m feeling good
Up to the bedroom when the day is done
A little too much fun and too much sun
Put out the car, turn out the light
Do Not Disturb
Up and at them 7.35
You’re barely alive, but you’ll survive today, today
We’re on a holiday
John’s in the back seat kissing Mary
A magic holiday
Got a hand on the wheel and a hand on Sherry
The kids are out of school
Now the only rule is feeling okay
We’re on a holiday, we’re on a holiday
It takes your breath away, it takes your breath away
To see the sun break through,
It’s shining for you on a holiday
To see the sun break through,
It’s shining for you on a holiday

BIG BROTHER
(Gouldman/Gold)
Somebody’s listening, a glass to the wall
They hear me lying in my bed
Running through my head, crazy
No conversation is safe from the vine
I know my dirty laundry hangs
On the telephone line
Somebody’s watching, a fly on the wall
They know the secrets buried deep
Skeletons I keep hidden
Nothing is sacred from their prying eyes
I feel them peeping through the lid
Of my private life
You hear good morning as you walk in the park
A pleasant remark and the sun is shining
You read the paper, it begins to get dark
Big brother’s watching you now
Somebody’s sneaking through holes in the night
Somebody’s knocking at my door
What’s he come here for
They know I’m in here, my back’s to the wall
I know I gotta get away, but I can’t move at all
Oh, somebody’s watching you
Oh, they see everything you do
You feel inclined to take a drive into town
Shopping around and the sun is shining
You meet some people that you’ve known all your life
Big brother’s watching you now
Somebody’s listening, a glass to the wall
They hear me talking in my sleep
Secrets that I speak out
No, no, no, no
Somebody’s watching, and they’re watching you
You know there’s nowhere you can hide
In the room with the view
Nowhere you can hide
In the room with the view

SEPARATE LIMO’S
(Gold/Gouldman)
We spent our lives in separate limo’s
Incognito was our game so
We spent our lives in hotel bedrooms
Hearing our tunes on the radio
We spent our lives in separate limo’s
We don’t make demo’s anymore, no
We spent our lives with the whole world watching
They’re not watching anymore
We came on out of the blue
We had the stars in our eyes
Yeah, we were bad boys in school
Knew we were cool, Jekyll and Hyde
We were a part of it all, we were a part of it all
Give us a piece of it all
We want a piece of it
We had time on our side
And we had nothing to fear
‘Cause when you know what you want,
You’re so nonchalant, playing by ear
We were a part of it all, we were a part of it all
We fell in love with it all
We were a part of it
You wondered where the conversation went
Had the world at our fete
But the dream got bent
We were a part of it all, we were a part of it all,
We were a part of it all, we were a part of it all,
We were a part of it all, we were a part of it all,
We were a part of it all, we were a part of it all,
We were a part of it
Let’s have a drink, something to keep us a wake
Can’t remember what to celebrate
We were a part of it all, we were a part of it all,
We were a part of it all, we were a part of it all,
We were a part of it all, we were a part of it all

ALL OVER YOU
(Gold/Gouldman)
Got a letter, a letter
From the postman, the postman
But I’m leaving, I’m leaving
I gotta go to work
On the next train, the next train
Going insane, going insane
You should be grieving, be grieving
But I know what you’re thinking
That the minute I leave for the track
You’ll let the postman in through the back
Baby, and he’ll be all over you
Everybody knows that it’s true
Don’t you think when I go
I’m the last one to know
And he’ll be all over you
Not a lot of things I can do
‘Cause it’s all over town
That you’re messing around with our love
Got a ticket, a ticket
From a policeman, a policeman
Going native, native
Worrying about you baby
Took my number, my number
And my licence, my licence
And my address, my address
And now I’m in a bad mess
‘Cause later on when I came through the door
I found the policeman breaking the law
Baby, and he was all over you
Everybody knows that it’s true
Don’t you think when I go I’m the last one to know
And he was all over you
Not a lot of things I can do ‘cause it’s all over town
That you’re messing around with our love
Are you thinking of him, do you say you love him
No disguise can hide it
Hey, dis guy’s in love with you
I punched the postman
Beset the milkman
I bit the policeman
But now I need a lawyer
Don’t you visit, you visit
Me in prison, in prison
I’m gonna break out
A good reason has arisen
Doing time has made a man out of me
You’d better leave those others alone
‘Cause I’ll be all over you
Everybody knows that it’s true
Never think when I go
I’m the last one to know
‘Cause I’ll be all over you
Everybody knows that it’s true
Never think when I go
I’m the last one to know
‘Cause I’ll be all over you
Everybody knows that it’s true
Never think when I go
I’m the last one to know
‘Cause I’ll be all over you
Everybody knows that it’s true
Never think when I go
I’m the last one to know

J.B. IN ARABIA
(Gold/Gouldman)
You’ve got a job to do
You’ve got to do it right
You’ve got to be a man
They’ve given you a gun
Said go and have some fun
You’re on the midnight run
You’re all alone in the desert
Espionage rendezvous
Waiting for something to happen
But they never gave you a clue
What to do
Over a dune appears
Beautiful girl draws near
The wind begins to moan
But unbeknownst to you
She’s got a job there too
Her ring’s a microphone
Above you the pyramid towers
Danger, intrigue and moonlight
Will agents of two foreign powers
Meet undercover tonight
Two lonely souls in the desert
Sharing this moment in time
Where air gets so cold in the desert
Back at 10 Downing Street
The PM’s on her feet
A statement to the Press
(Read All About It!)
Our man has let us down
He’s nowhere to be found
Now Whitehall’s in a mess
Meanwhile somewhere in the desert
Secrets are coming to light
Agents of two foreign powers
Meet undercover tonight

ONE MORE HEARTACHE
(Robinson/Monroe/White/Rogers/Tarplin)
One more heartache, I can’t take it
My heart is getting such a heavy load
One more ache would break it
Just like the camel with the heavy pack
One last straw was added
They said it broke the camel’s back
One more heartache would just be too much load
I’m fed up with the heartache
One more and I’ll explode
Like a toy balloon that’s filled
With as much air as it can take
One more puff of air
And that balloon has got to break
I can’t take it, one more heartache
I can’t stand the pain
One more heartache would just turn me right around
First you build my hope up high
Then you let me down
Like the house you built of toothpicks
Stacked up on the kitchen table
One last toothpick tore it down
The foundation was not stable
One more heartache would just be too much load
I’m fed up with the heartache
One more and I’ll explode
Like a toy balloon that’s filled
With as much air as it can take
One more puff of air
That balloon has got to break
One more heartache, heart, heart, heartache
One more, one more
One more heartache, not another
One more heartache, not another
One more heartache
One more heartache, not another
One more heartache, not another
One more heartache
I can’t take it, one more heartache
I can’t take it, one more heartache
I can’t stand it, one more heartache
Not another, one more heartache
Not another, one more heartache
Not another, one more heartache

BIG FAT BABY
(Gold/Gouldman)
She’s my big fat baby
She’s my XL lady
She’s got an appetite
Like Mr Spielberg’s great white
And when it’s time for dinner
There’s no chance she’ll get much thinner
She’s my jumbo honey, jumbo honey
Ate up all my money, all my money
When it’s time for lunch
She can munch and plunge
The farmers take a beating
If she ever gave up eating
She was in the town of Wilmslow
At a local bistro
Asked the waiter can you
Bring the left side of the menu
The maitre d’ was moaning
As the table started groaning
But she said may I enquire what’s for afters
She’s my swollen sweetie
Neither lean nor weedy
Her arms are miles apart
But a mammoth heart
Yeah, I’m a low cal’ mister
And you know I can’t resist her
Oh, oh, big fat lady, big fat lady
She walked to Marks and Spencer
And asked have you size 10 sir
He answered rather curtly
You look more like a 30
You need a shop that’s bigger
To deal with your full figure
Then he said Camel Lairds should do nicely
Don’t pout baby, you’re a special lady
And I need every ton of your love
Who cares, baby, so what if you outweigh me
She’s got a Buddha belly, got a Buddha belly
Just like a Botticelli, like a Botticelli
And I love her so, even though
When she sits around the house
She really sits around the house
Big fat baby, she’s my big fat baby
Big fat baby, my big fat baby
Big fat baby, big fat baby

HEARTBEAT TO HEARTBEAT
(Gold/Gouldman)
What makes a man get up and find the nerve
To fight for a place in the world that he deserves. Yeah
I work so hard each day and that’s the price I pay
But there ain’t nothing in the world makes it more worthwhile
Than to hold you close in the middle of the night.
Heartbeat to heartbeat, face to face, alone together
Heartbeat to heartbeat, woh oh, I wanna be
Heartbeat to heartbeat, just you and I right here forever
Heartbeat to heartbeat, tonight
Every man’s got his share of trouble and pain
No matter what their station in life, it feels the same
Oh yeah.
Sometimes I feel it too
Need a reason to see things through
But when your love surrounds me I can see it clear
Got a reason to smile when I hold you near.
Heartbeat to heartbeat, face to face, alone together
Heartbeat to heartbeat, woh oh, I wanna be
Heartbeat to heartbeat, just you and I right here forever
Heartbeat to heartbeat, tonight
Let our love lift us ascending above the clouds each day
Never let it fade away
And if the rainfall’s never ending, love will clear our way
Oooh I’ll never let you go. Yeah
Ain’t nothing in the world makes it more worthwhile
Than to hold you close in the middle of the night.
Heartbeat to heartbeat, face to face, alone together
Heartbeat to heartbeat, woh oh, I wanna be
Heartbeat to heartbeat, just you and I right here forever
Heartbeat to heartbeat, tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Heartbeat to heartbeat, face to face, alone together
Heartbeat to heartbeat, woh oh, I wanna be
Heartbeat to heartbeat, just you and I right here forever
