there is a light ...

... that never goes out



"... Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore.

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and
I want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home,
It's their home, and
I'm welcome no more.

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care

And in the darkened underpass
I thought "Oh God, my chance has come at last"
(But then a strange fear gripped me and
I just couldn't ask)


Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one,
I haven't got one

Oh

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out

There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out ..."

what was in our eyes



"... Say, Billy Budd
So you think that you should?
Oh, everyone's laughing
Say, Billy Budd
So you think that you should?
Everyone's laughing

Since I took up with you

Things have been bad
Yeah, but now it's 12 years on
Now it's 12 years on
Yes and I took up with you

I took my job application into town
Did you hear they turned me down?
Yes, and it's all because of us
Oh, and what was in our eyes
Oh, what was in our eyes, yeah

I say, Billy Budd
I would happily lose
Both of my legs
I would lose both of my legs
Oh, if it meant you could be free
Oh, if it meant you could be free ..."

[don't leave us in the dark]
