[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

[Pre-Chorus]
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

[Chorus]
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light, oh

[Verse 2]
I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to ya
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your makeup
Told you once, I won't tell you again
It's a bad way

[Pre-Chorus]
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

[Outro]
(Roxanne) You don't have to put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light

(Roxanne) You don't have to put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light
(Roxanne) Put on the red light

[Verse 1]
I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

[Chorus]
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you

[Verse 2]
I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say

[Pre-Chorus]
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

[Chorus]
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

[Verse 3]
I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care, so I won't cry
And you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride

[Outro]
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't, I can't stand
Can't stand losing you
				

[Verse 1]
Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

[Chorus]
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

[Verse 2]
A year has passed since I wrote my note
I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life, but love can break your heart

[Chorus]
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Oh, message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

[Verse 3]
Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone in being alone
Hundred billion castaways looking for a home

[Chorus]
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, oh
Message in a bottle, yeah

[Outro]
Sendin' out an SOS

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

[Verse 2]
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet, they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

[Chorus]
Some may say I'm wishing my days away
No way, and if it's the price I pay
Some say tomorrow's another day
You stay, I may as well play

[Verse 3]
Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

[Chorus]
Some may say I'm wishing my days away
No way, and if it's the price I pay
Some say tomorrow's another day
You stay, I may as well play

[Outro]
Keep it up

[Verse 1]
Young teacher, the subject of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly, knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing, this girl's an open page
Bookmarking, she's so close now
This girl is half his age

[Chorus]
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

[Verse 2]
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy to be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration so bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting his car is warm and dry

[Chorus]
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

[Verse 3]
Loose talk in the classroom to hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom the accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her he starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov

[Chorus]
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

[Outro]
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
(Please don't stand so close to me)
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
				

[Verse 1]
Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

[Chorus]
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

[Verse 2]
Poets, priests, and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one's jamming their transmission

[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

[Chorus]
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

[Chorus]
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
				

[Verse 1]
Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve, as I've done from the start

[Chorus]
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

[Verse 2]
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

[Chorus]
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

[Bridge]
I resolved to call her up
A thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me
In some old-fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

[Chorus]
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

[Chorus]
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

[Refrain]
Every little thing, every little thing
Every, every little thing
Every little, every little, every little
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
That she does is magic
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Eee-oh, oh, eee-oh, oh
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
She does is magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Ey-oh, yo-oh
Eee-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me
That ends up getting wet
				

[Intro]
One, two, three, four, five, six
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life
Lookin' at the barrel of an Armalite
I don't wanna spend the rest of my days
Keepin' outta trouble like the soldiers say

[Verse 2]
I don't wanna spend my time in hell
Lookin' at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever wanna play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart

[Chorus]
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

[Verse 3]
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in
Lookin' like somethin' that the cat brought in

[Chorus]
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

[Guitar Solo]
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)

[Verse 4]
And they're only gonna change this place
By killin' everybody in the human race
They would kill me for a cigarette
But I don't even wanna die just yet

[Chorus]
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

[Outro]
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
(Whoa-oh-oh, whoa)
				

[Verse 1]
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

[Chorus]
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

[Verse 2]
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure

[Chorus]
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world

[Verse 3]
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way

[Chorus]
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
				

[Verse 1]
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

[Verse 2]
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see?
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

[Post-Chorus]
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

[Bridge]
Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, baby, baby, please

[Interlude]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see?
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

[Post-Chorus]
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
(250)
[Outro]
I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take)
(Every move you make)
(Every bond you break)
(Every step you take)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day)
(Every word you say)
(Every game you play)
(Every night you stay)
I'll be watching you
(Every move you make)

[Verse 1]
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag, and the wind won't stop

[Chorus]
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

[Verse 2]
There's a little black spot on the sun today
(That's my soul up there)
It's the same old thing as yesterday
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black hat caught in a high treetop
(That's my soul up there)
There's a flag pole rag, and the wind won't stop
(That's my soul up there)

[Chorus]
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

[Verse 3]
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That's my soul up there)

[Chorus]
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

[Bridge]
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
(King of pain)

[Verse 4]
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
(That's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
[Chorus]
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

[Outro]
King of pain, king of pain
King of pain, I'll always be
King of pain, I'll always be
King of pain, I'll always be
King of pain, I'll always be
King of pain, I'll always be
King of pain, I'll always be
King of pain, I'll always be
King of pain
				

[Verse 1]
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they would not teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turn into a shining band of gold

[Chorus]
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

[Verse 2]
Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
You will see it come to its fruition

[Chorus]
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

[Verse 3]
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air, you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
When you find your servant is your master

[Outro]
Oh, you'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
You'll be wrapped around my finger
Ohh

Loose talk in the classroom
