UK Jive lyrics

Time’s running out just as fast as it can
She’s leaving me cold
I don’t understand
Hearts beating hard on the edge of the floor
Gotta kill this pain ’cause I can’t take no more

Bright lights on a cold night
If it feels good then it’s alright

Thinking about when we first met
All these memories kill me
Get them out of my head

Dear margaret I beg of you
Dear margaret gonna tell on you
Don’t want to be patronized
By those lying eyes
Dear margaret I wanted you

You’re warming me up
So you can leave me cold
Kissin’ up to the rich
Intending to control
All the money money money
Is that all you live for
You’re a model and example
Of a greed that will destroy

Dear margaret I beg of you

Down all the days

Though the past is just a blink away,

The future waits for me and you,

Down all the days to 1992

Here is hope for all the people

And generations yet to come,

An the future's bright tomorrow,

Illuminated by the morning sun.

Here's for all the working people

And me the ordinary man

For assembly workers in the factory

There’s been another assassination
T.v. cameras moving in.
To shoot the bloodstains on the pavement
And get them on the news at ten.
Will he live or will he die, before we go on the air?
Yes, the networks are all there, in the name of
Entertainment.

Superstar psycho, from a killer to a hero,
An overnight sensation on the lips of all the nation

Living in a world where the flesh is cheap.
Body touches body but it’s only skin deep.
I can hold you in my arms every time that you weep
But we’ve lost that emotional flow.
Living on a planet full of emptiness
With maximum exposure full of sleaziness
But the make up on your face can’t disguise loneliness
Where designer feelings are in vogue, what do they know?

The world’s spinning round like a looney balloon
Heading for a collision with saturn and mars
And we’re narrowly missing the man in the moon,
Spinning out of control crashing into the stars.
Have we all lost our gravity, reason and sanity?
Is this the price that we pay?
Have we now lost our way on this looney balloon?

Drift away, just drift away.

In the beginning of it all there was the land

And the sea and she sky

Then into the middle of it all there came man

To live on the land.
And then a great nation

Put into operation an evolutionary plan

Now mighty corporations and politicians rule the land

Wish I could remember when

We were more innocent

Than all of those violent bitter men.

Everytime we meet
My heart skips a beat
Seems we’re perfect strangers

I can’t understand
What’s inside of man
That makes us perfect strangers

Through all this time so lonely
All the people with nobody
With lifes misunderstanding
Feel I’ve known you all my life
There’s something quite familiar in your eyes
A soul is calling
Do you ever wonder why?

Another saturday night and everybody gets together
The pubs are turning out and all the streets are alive
But the people wanna party so they come back to our house
Everybody gonna do the u.k jive
Dad’s got a crate of beer and it’s an open invitation
He’s ever-so elated and so are his mates.
Everybody’s welcome to bring all their dates home

Old soldiers talk about the battles fought
To build a better world for me and you.
They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true.
Now they’re forgotten men remembered by so few.

But the war is over and the fighting ended many years ago.
The war is over. the battle’s won but what is there to show?
Side by side they marched together fighting so their children
Could be free,

What am I doing in a place like this
When it’s painfully clear that my face don’t fit?
What am I doing acting identikit,
When all I want to do is to be the opposite?
Why am i, why are you,
Who’s pretending just who’s fooling who
Do we go our way or join in their merry queue.
What are we doing in the pouring rain
Walking hand in hand, I gotta be out of my brain.
