Well I'm standing here what do I see?
A big nothing
Threatening me
It's so sad
When you're young
To be told
You're having fun

So unplug the jukebox
And do us all a favour
That music's lost its taste
So try another flavour

Good luck with the new job Mr O, I think you're smashing

Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to
Baby

But I know that you're sad
And I know I'll make you happy
With the one thing that you never had.
Baby
I'm your man. Don't you know that

Baby,
I'm your man. You bet!

If you're gonna do it
Do it right
Right? Do it with me.
If you're gonna do it
Do it right
Right? Do it with me.
If you're gonna do it
Do it right
Right? Do it with me.

One man on a lonely platform
One case sitting by his side
Two eyes staring cold and silent
Shows fear as he turns to hide

Ah-ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)
Ah-ah, we fade to grey (fade to grey)

"Fade To Grey" - Visage

Ceasefire at last. Nothing left to bomb or kill.

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, There is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones who love?
Tell me we both matter don't we?

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me who won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh...

"Running Up That Hill" - Kate Bush

Everyone's an expert on the economy these days. Some girls in the queue at Costa were talking about the FTSE Index.

Boy, nothin' in life is free
That's why I'm askin' you what can you do for me
I've got responsibilities
So I'm lookin' for a man whose got money in his hands

`Cause nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
You got to have somethin' if you wanna be with me
Oh, life is too serious, love's too mysterious
A fly girl like me needs security

Every girl wants you to be her man
But I'll wait my dear 'til it's my turn

I'm not the kind of girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no

The tide is high but I'm holding on
I'm gonna be your number one

But shoot it in the right direction
Make making it your intention
Live those dreams
Scheme those schemes
Got to hit me (hit me)
Hit me (hit me)
Hit me with those laser beams
Laser beam
