Hallo spaceboy
Happiness is an option
Heart
Hedonism
Hey, headmaster
Here
Hit and miss
Hit music
Home and dry
Homosexuality
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
How I learned to hate rock'n'roll


[top] Hallo spaceboy (Bowie/Eno)

(If I fall, moondust will cover me, moondust will cover me...
 If I fall, moondust will cover me
 If I fall, moondust will cover me)

Spaceboy, you're sleepy now
Your silhouette is so stationary
You're released, but your custody calls
And I wanna be free
Don't you wanna be free?
Do you like girls or boys?
It's confusing these days
But moondust will cover you
Cover you

     So bye bye love
     Yeah, bye bye love
     Hallo spaceboy
     This chaos is killing me
     Hallo spaceboy
     (Spaceboy, spaceboy, spaceboy... hallo!)
     (Moondust will cover me)

Ground to Major, bye, bye, Tom
This chaos is killing me
Dead the circuit, countdown's wrong
This chaos is killing me
Planet earth, is control on?
So sleepy now
Do you wanna be free?
Don't you wanna be free?

Do you like girls or boys?
It's confusing these days
But moondust will cover you
Cover you

     So bye bye love
     Yeah, bye bye love
     Hallo spaceboy
     (Spaceboy, spaceboy, spaceboy... hallo!)
     Hallo spaceboy
     You're sleepy now
     This chaos is killing me
     This chaos is killing me

     So
     Bye bye love
     Yeah,
     Bye bye love

Do you wanna be free?
Yes, I wanna be free
     Hallo spaceboy
     You're sleepy now

Do you like girls or boys?
It's confusing these days
But moondust will cover you
Cover you

     So bye bye love
     Yeah, bye bye love
     Hallo spaceboy
     (Spaceboy, spaceboy, spaceboy... hallo!)
     Hallo spaceboy
     You're sleepy now
     Hallo spaceboy
     (Spaceboy, spaceboy, spaceboy... hallo!)
     Hallo, hallo

(If I fall, moondust will cover me)


[top] Happiness is an option (Tennant/Lowe/Clinton)

     It is not easy
     It is not easy

Looking from a window
At the back of a house
At the edge of a town
It's grey
Like the day when I lost it
Clouds overhead
I talked to a flower
That was almost dead
My body a prison
Why did I do it?
Someone told me not to 
But I still went through it

(Giving it up son
 You got to remember
 That happiness is an option)

     It is not easy
     But don't give up now (So don't give up)
     It is not easy
     Happiness is an option (Happiness is an option)

Needed somewhere to clear my head
Find some strenght, a warmer bed
Maximum love in a minimal world
I'd never achieved it
But then I believed it
So when I lost it - how?
I'm not sure now
It was a strange feeling
Like a law repealing itself

     It is not easy
     But don't give up now (So don't give up)
     It is not easy
     Happiness is an option (Happiness is an option)

     It is not easy
     But don't give up now (So don't give up)
     It is not easy
     Happiness is an option

(Giving it up
 I feel like giving it up
 I feel like giving it up)

I can wake up in the morning
And not believe what I see
Look in the mirror
And think if that's really me
I don't think I suit my face
It's not a catastrophe
It's more a philosophy
Like the Russians
Wondering why
We're born under a blue sky
But die in a dark forest

     It is not easy
     But don't give up now (So don't give up)
     It is not easy
     Happiness is an option (Happiness is an option)

     It is not easy
     But don't give up now (So don't give up)
     It is not easy
     Happiness is an option (Happiness is an option)

This is neiter old nor new
It's always, forever
Between sense and ambition
Pleasure and decision
We have to make a choice
What do we want?
Everyone is singing "War, what is it good for?"
While planning the next one?
I don't need to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness is an option

     It is not easy
     But don't give up now (So don't give up)
     It is not easy
     Happiness is an option

Happiness is an option

     It isn't easy (No, not easy)
     The war within us (The war within us)
     (So don't give up)
     But it gets easier (It's easier)
     The more you learn (The more we learn)
     I don't need to win (I don't need to win)
     You don't have to lose (You don't have to lose)
     (So don't give up)
     We can choose
     Happiness is an option

Happiness is an option

     It is not easy
     But don't give up now (So don't give up now)
     It is not easy
     Happiness is an option
     You don't have to lose (You don't have to lose)
     We can choose
     Happiness is an option 


[top] Heart (Tennant/Lowe)

(Beat)
(H-H-Heartbeat)

Every time I see you something happens to me
Like a chain reaction between you and me
     My heart starts missing a beat
     My heart starts missing a beat
     Every time
     Oh oh oh, every time
     Oh oh oh, every time

If I didn't love you, I would look around for someone else
But every time I see you, you have the same effect
     My heart starts missing a beat
     My heart starts missing a beat
     Every time
     Oh oh oh, every time
     Oh oh oh, every time
     Every time

          I hear your heart beat next to me
          I'm in love with you; I mean what I say
          I'm in love with you, and you don't know
          What it means to be with you

Every time I see you, no matter what we do
There's a strange reaction, can you feel it too?
     My heart starts missing a beat
     My heart starts missing a beat
     Every time
     Oh oh oh, every time
     Oh oh oh, every time

          I hear your heart beat next to me
          I'm in love with you; I mean what I say
          I'm in love with you, and you don't know
          What it means to be with you

[top] Hedonism (Tennant/Lowe)

(Hedonism, ha ha ha)
(Hedonism, ha ha ha)
(Hedonism, ha ha ha)


[top] Hey, headmaster (Tennant/Lowe)

Hey, Headmaster, what's the matter with you?
Why're you always so serious, why so blue?
All the kids in the school have seen you
Being patient with the boys who fool you
When you used to hit them with your ruler
So independent too
Hey, Headmaster, what's the matter with you?

There's a crisis rumoured in the school
The boys have cut their hair short to look cool
Examination time is drawing near
Disintegration of the football team
No one seems to want to play for real
In classroom, club or pool
Hey, Headmaster, what're you gonna do?

There's an invitation in the post
To a reading party on the coast
Pack your bags up, you old bibliophile
Get together with your friends, who will
Give you time to think and time to kill
With independent hosts
Hey, Headmaster, aren't you gonna go?
Hey, Headmaster, aren't you gonna go?


[top] Here (Tennant/Lowe)

We all have a dream
Of a place we belong
The fire is burning
And the radio's on
Somebody smiles
And it means "I love you"
But sometimes we don't notice
When the dream has come true

     You've got a home here
     Call it what you want
     You've got a home here
     To return to when you can't
     Face the world and you need
     Some support to succeed
     You've got a home

We all make a mess
Of our lives from time to time
It's part of the process
That you stumble as you climb
And if you ever feel
The pain is far too big a deal
I say with pride
I'll be on your side

     You've got a home here (You've got a home)
     Call it what you want
     You've got a home here (You've got a home)
     You're gonna want it when you can't
     Face the world and you need
     Some support to succeed
     You've got a home
     You've got a home


[top] Hit and miss (Tennant/Lowe)

If you want to know
Why I miss you so
Just think back to the first time
We were in love

The night was getting late
I recognized my fate
When you spoke, I awoke
We were in love

     Waiting, I'd been waiting so long for this
     Waiting, all my life had been hit and miss
     I knew in my heart this was only the start
     Of a new life

Your solemn face, your eyes
Lit up at this surprise
My heart sped, raced ahead, for
We were in love

After that we stayed
Together every day
I relaxed with the facts that
We were in love
So in love

     Waiting (always waiting), all my life had been hit and miss
     Waiting (always waiting), to experience such a kiss
     I knew in my heart this was only the start
     Of a new life

Now if your heart is cold
And I seem too old
Just think back to the first time
We were in love
So in love
We were in love
So in love


[top] Hit music (Tennant/Lowe)

     Hit music on the radio
     Hit music on the radio

When you dance with me we dance forever
All night long to your favourite

     Hit music on the radio
     Hit music on the radio

When you dance with me we dance forever
All night long to the latest song
Live a lie, dance together
All night long to your favourite

     Hit music
     Hit music

I've been working hard all day
To pay the bills I have to pay
Don't have the strength to work all night
Or fight until it's almost light

     Music on the radio
     D-dance music at the day disco

Live a lie dance together
All night long to your favourite song
Live and die, it's all that we know
I need a friend at the journey's end

     Hit music, in stereo

It's all about love, and it's about forgetting
Choose a song when the night's too long
We all need love and we want protection
I need a friend at the journey's end
In Kensington, or Spanish Harlem
All night long to your desperate

     Hit music on the radio
     Music at the disco
     Hit music on the radio
     Hit music on the radio


[top] Home and dry (Tennant/Lowe)

So my baby's on the road
Doing business, selling loads
Charming everyone there
With the sweetest smile

  Oh tonight
  I miss you
  Oh tonight
  I wish you
  Could be here with me
  But I won't see you
  'Til you've made it back again 

     Home and dry
     Home and dry

There's a plane at JFK
To fly you back from far away
All those dark and frantic
Transatlantic miles

  Oh tonight
  I miss you
  Oh tonight
  I wish you
  Could be here with me
  But I won't see you
  'Til you've made it back again 

     Home and dry
     Home and dry

Far away
Through night and day
You fly long haul tonight
Come to me
You know I'll be here
When you call tonight

  Oh tonight
  I miss you
  Oh tonight
  I wish you
  Could be here with me
  But I won't see you
  'Til you've made it back again 

     Home and dry (We're going home)
     Home and dry
     Home and dry (We're going home)
     Home and dry

Your baby waits tonight


[top] Homosexuality (Kessie/Goldstein)

Sitting in a Paris disco
With a rocket in my hand 
Just flew in from San Francisco 
Will he take me as I am? 

Down on the street 
Up on the roof 
I'll find you wherever I go 
Whatever they do 
Love will find a way 

     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 
     Do you want to get next to me? 
     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 
     Anything to fill your need 

     Homosexuality 
     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 
     Homosexuality 
     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 

Cruising in a Brooklyn disco 
With a trick from Amsterdam 
I got lost on Fire Island 
Found my daddy in the can 

Down on the street 
Up on the roof 
I'll find you wherever I go 
Whatever they do 
Love will find a way 

     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 
     Do you want to get next to me? 
     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 
     Anything to fill your need 

     Homosexuality 
     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 
     Homosexuality 
     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 

Nobody, nobody else 
Nobody, nobody else 
Nobody, nobody else 
Nobody, nobody 

     Homosexuality 
     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 
     Homosexuality 
     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 

Down on the street 
Up on the roof 
I'll find you wherever I go 
Whatever they do 
Love will find a way 

     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 
     You've got to get next to me 
     Homosexuality - Yes sir! 
     Anything to fill your need 
     Homosexuality 

Nobody, nobody else 
Nobody, nobody else 
Nobody, nobody else 
Nobody, nobody else 

     Homosexuality 


[top] How can you expect to be taken seriously? (Tennant/Lowe)

You live upon a stage, and everyone's agreed
You're the brightest hope by far that anyone can see
So when you take the limelight you can guarantee
You're gaining fame and claiming credibility
     Tell me baby are you gonna get high as a kite?
     Tell me baby are you gonna let it happen every night
     How can you expect to be taken seriously?

You live within the law, and everyone assumes
You must find this a bore, and try something new
You're an intellectual giant, an authority
To preach and teach the whole world about ecology
     Tell me baby are you gonna make any other claim?
     Tell me baby are you gonna take any of the blame?
     How can you expect to be taken seriously?
     How can you expect to be taken seriously?
(Seriously)
(Seriously)

You live within the headlines, so everyone can see
You're supporting every new cause and meeting royalty
You're another major artist on a higher plane
Do you think they'll put you in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame?
     Tell me baby how you generate longevity
     Tell me baby how you really hate publicity
     How can you expect to be taken seriously?
     How can you expect to be taken seriously?
Seriously (seriously)
Seriously, aah

(Do you have a message for your fans?)

     How can you expect to be taken seriously?
     How can you expect to be taken seriously?

(Seriously)
Seriously
(Seriously)
Seriously
Aah, seriously


[top] How I learned to hate rock'n'roll (Tennant/Lowe)

Someone states the obvious
Someone sneers at all you love
Someone preaches ugly manners
Excluding some, including me

     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll
     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll

     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll
     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll

All feelings blunted, all passion spent
Everybody does what everybody does
All the broken promises
To recreate a status quo

     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll
     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll

     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll
     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll

     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll
     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll

     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll
     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll

     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll

     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll

     This is how I learned to hate rock'n'roll
