I Don't Want To Fall In Love Again
 

I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man

I'd like to thank you
For the way you held my hand
That moonlit night
Down by the old Rio Grande
Now even Paris in the spring
Does not mean a thing
But the streetlights seem to understand

That I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man

When I come home at night
A little worse for drink
I see my empty room
and razor by the sink
But it's no use to me
It runs on batteries
And I got to get some new ones
I think

Oh I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man

I still remember the things we used to do
Mixing cocktails and sharing our shampoo
And that night you lost your key
You blamed it all on me
Because we were both dressed up as
kangaroos

Oh I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man
From now on I'll be another lonely man

I Give Myself To You
 

I give myself to you
For I know
I've so much to give
Oh ho
And when I'm feeling this way
There's just one thing I gotta say
Believe me darlin'
Believe me
I'm incredible
Whenever life becomes inedible
You know you can rely on me
To provide an alternative recipe

Innocent moments of boredom can corrupt you
There are so many bestial things to get up to
The world is a manifestation of you and me
Every star in the sky, every drop in the sea

Open your eyes to the energy of ugliness
It's the same thing as beauty, all things being equal
It's no surprise then you feel full of emptiness
The pattern of life is so full of detail

Let me explain the inexplicable
Then let me solve the inextricable
Then when I'm through, all the world will see
I've given myself to me

I Love You
 

Every time I see you walk by
There's a certain look in your eye
And your smile says there's something that I
Should tell you
Every time we meet we say "Hi"
"How's it going?" "Fine" we reply
But I wonder what would happen if I
Could tell you...

I love you,
I love you

I don't know why it is or what you do to me
Vocabulary-wise with you I'm all at sea

Every time I'm with your I try
I'm not a shoe-gazin' kind of a guy
But somehow I just come over too shy
To tell you

Why can't I tell you how I feel
It's so absurd
Why does my tongue get tied on three little words?

I feel as if I'm falling apart
Do I blame my head or my heart?
Because I stop every time I start
To tell you
I love you, I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you,
I love you.

Imagination
 

You can disagree with me and I'll agree with you
Be just what you want to be I'll share your point of view
You can demonstrate and shout and wheel the execution cart
You can ask me anything but don't expect my answer to be smart

Don't make me use my imagination
I think it must have blown a fuse
Just keep on with your information, oh yeah
It must be something someone can use

I'll buy any gadget that you tell me I need
I believe in God or anything guaranteed
I can watch the news at 10 because I know the camera never lies
Just sittin' in my armchair I can see it with my own two eyes

Don't make me use my imagination
I think it must have blown a fuse
Just keep on with your information, oh yeah
It must be something someone can use

Don't make me use my imagination
I think it must have blown a fuse
Just keep on with your information, oh yeah
It must be something someone can use

I said don't make me use my imagination
I think it must have blown a fuse
Just keep on with your information, oh yeah
It must be something someone can use

Immortal Invisible
 

Immortal invisible
God only wise
Looks at the world with a capital I
But I've been here since time began
As sure as God is named by Man

Oh, tell me what could be
Holier than absurdity?

Any ol' rich man, poor man,
Beggar man, thief
Seem to share the same belief
Although they take my name in vain
They call on me to ease their pain

Oh, tell me what could be
Holier than absurdity?

You can worship me
Any way you choose
Sometimes you'll win, but sometimes you'll lose
But either way, I'm by your side
To share your moral suicide

Oh, tell me what could be
Holier than absurdity?

Now it's time to end this game
After all, what's in a name?
Forgive me, Lord, if I've been wicked
But I'm only a season heretic yeah!

Oh, tell me what could be
Holier than absurdity?
Oh, tell me what could be
Holier than absurdity?

I'm The Urban Spaceman
 

I'm the urban spaceman baby, I've got speed
I've got everything I need
I'm the urban spaceman baby, I can fly
I'm a supersonic guy

I don't need pleasure
I don't feel pain
If you were to knock me down
I'd just get up again
I'm the urban spaceman babe and
I'm making out
I'm all about

I wake up every morning
with a smile upon my face
My natural exuberance
spills out all over the place
I'm the urban spaceman
I'm intelligent and clean
Know what I mean?

I'm the urban spaceman, as a lover second to none
It's a lot of fun

I never let my friends down
I've never made a boob
I'm a glossy magazine
an advert in the tube
I'm the urban spaceman babe, but here comes the twist
I don't exist

I Must Be In Love
 

I feel good
I feel bad
I feel happy
I feel sad
Do you think I'm in love? (aahaah)
I must be in love

I feel rich (oooo, la la la)
I feel poor (oooo, la la la)
I'm in doubt (oooo, la la la)
I feel sure (oooo, la la la)
Am I in love? (aahaah)
I must be in love

Any time of the day I can see
(I can see her face)
Her face, when I close my eyes
Ooooooo!

She's a dream (she's a dream)
She is real (she is real)
Can't explain (can't explain)
How I feel (how I feel)
Am I in love? (aahaah)
I must be in love

Any time of the day I can see
(I can see her face)
Her face, when I close my eyes
Ooooooo!

Am I dead (oooo, la la la)
Or alive? (oooo, la la la)
Can my poor heart (oooo, la la la)
Survive? (oooo, la la la)
Am I in love? (aahaah)
I must be in love

I feel good (I feel good)
I feel bad (I feel bad)
I feel happy (I feel happy)
I feel sad (I feel sad)
Am I in love? (aahaah)
I must be in love
I must be in love
I must be in love
I must be in love

It's Looking Good
 

There was no one in my life till I met you
You brought me love and taught me how to smile
You picked me up when I was feeling blue
From now on my future is worthwhile

It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good!

Now that you have given me reason to live
I will stay forever by your side
And give you all the lovin' I can give
Just say the word, and be my bride

It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good!

I'm not throwing caution to the winds, oh no
Love is not an easy game to play
Though I may not be a man of words, yeah, yeah
There is one thing I feel obliged to say

It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good

It's lookin' good
It's lookin' good
It's lookin' good
It's lookin' good

I Want To Be With You
 

There are things that must be done
That are not yet begun
Things that I must do
When I want to be with you
Although we're far apart
You're with me in my heart
No one else will do
I just want to be with you

I want to be with you
Can't you hear me?
I need you near me
I want to be with you
I need you near me, my love

The two of us are one
Mother of my son
No one else will do
I just want to be with you

I want to be with you
Can you hear me?
I need you near me
I want to be with you
I need you near me, my love
