Mail arrives in the morning
I’m hoping for good news
Another letter from a girl that I don’t know
Another letter full of no news
You don’t tell me anything
You just go on and on
And you don’t make no sense
You try to tell me that you love me
But we ain’t never met
You try to say you’re gonna be my one and only
But I wouldn’t take no bet
You don’t tell me anything
You just go on and on
And you don’t make no sense
I believe we’re worlds apart
And I don’t know if I’m getting through
Oh I
I believe we’re worlds apart
And I don’t know if I’m getting through
I don’t wanna talk
And I don’t wanna fight
I’m in the mood for attention tonight
But every time that I make a move
You turn and walk away
I get the feeling
That you’re not accepting
This love I’m offering around
Cause every time that I make a move
You just can’t be found
And you’re the only one
Who can make me feel the way that you do
You are the only one
Who can make me feel it too
And I’m not expected to be your intended
You just like to have me around
A week I’ve been planning to take you out
Now you won’t come past your door
You are the only one
Who can make me feel the way that you do
You are the only one
Who can make me feel it too
And you know that I
I believe we’re worlds apart
And I don’t know
If I’m getting through
Oh I I believe we’re worlds apart
And I don’t know
If I’m getting though
And I don’t know if I’m getting through
To you
Painted doll, on a painted stage
Painted doll, on a painted stage
She’s just a one-man Punch and Judy show
For caliphs twice her age
Painted doll, on a painted stage
The more they look at her
The less I see
The more they look at her
The less I see
It’s a tricky situation when some
Parasite has got my painted doll
And she’s got me
Lookin’ down Sydney Harbour in the rain
My pretty baby’s slappin’ up another vein
If this is gonna be her final wage
My heart may never see this world again
She’s my little sick salome
And it’s breakin’ me in two
Painted doll
I’ve got a deal for you
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night’s already old
Walking into Sunday, and I find
All desires are cold
I could walk forever, I don’t mind
Show me a light, your company
Goes a little way to help me see
The path on which I’m bound
Rather than the things I leave behind
I’ve got the keys to the city
Baby
I can feel my luck
I got two days’ money
If you light me up
This heart will shine on
“L’esclavage D’amour
It will be ours forevermore”
Words we both recall
Either from a lover, or the law
Saturday night, my steps have shown
I can walk away from all I’ve know
Goodnight, my friend, goodbye
Remember what they say,
When you’re alone, laugh or die
Nightclub here
Liaison there
I do what I have to do
The habits of a lifetime
They all know
And sympathise with me
My great big plans
Are winding down
We both know that’s nothing new
I’m taking care of business
But without you
It doesn’t sing to me
All night through
Baby it’s you, it’s you
What we had before
We could have once more
Forever,
You’d see
I walk all night
And sleep all day
I’m dreaming only of you
I’m taking care of business
But without you
It doesn’t sing to me
I’m taking care of business
This old world still spins along
But doesn’t sing to me
