@SONG: Hard act to follow (T.Finn)


There's a lot of good acts around
Plenty of profound performers
But there's only one, who really gets through to me
Whenever you come on I light up
Everything you do goes down well
I can tell, after you it's all downhill

Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult (so) difficult
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Hard act to follow

Watch a lot of foreign movies
See a lot of late night TV
Looking for a girl to distract me from what you are
Try to lose my concentration
Acting out of sheer frustration
I go out at night, but after you it doesn't feel right

Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult, so difficult
Hard act to follow you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Hard act to follow

There's a lot of good acts around
Plenty of profound performers
But there's only one, who really gets through to me
And I'm not looking for an actress
No, no, no, no saki hostess
All I want is you and you and you and you and you
Encore, encore, encore, encore

Proving you're a hard act to follow
You're a hard act to follow
You make it difficult to even think of taking in another play
Hard act to follow, you're a hard act to follow
Keeping me at arms length, sapping my strength from a distance
Lie like Ophelia
Proving you're a mean scene stealer
Proving you're a hard act to follow
Hard act to follow (repeat and vary til fade)


@SONG: One Step Ahead (N.Finn)


One step ahead of you
stay in motion, keep an open mind
Love is a race won by two
Your emotion, my solitude
If I stop I could lose my head
So I'm losing you instead
Either way I'm confused
You slow me down, what can I do?
There's one particular way I have to choose

One step ahead of you
Always someone makes it hard to move
She says, Boy I want you to stay
But I save it all for another day
If I stop I could lose my head
But I'm ready for romance
Either way I'm confused
I don't know what I'm s'posed to do
I can only stay
One step ahead of you

Da,da,da,da,da
Da,da,da,da
Da,da,da,da
Da,da,da,dum

Stop, I confess sometimes
I don't know where I'm going
Part of me stays with you,
I'm slowing down, what can I do
It's hard to stay one step ahead of you
(Uh huh)

One step ahead of you
Time is running out
Catching up with you
One step ahead of you
When I hold you close
Can I really lose?
One step ahead
Only one step ahead
She's one step ahead of you


@SONG: I don't wanna dance (T.Finn)


I don't wanna dance no more
Not since you walked out the door
Left without a second glance
That's the end of my romance
No more fancy footwork in the nightclub
I'm a still point in a turning world

I don't wanna dance tonight
I can hardly stand the sight
Of lovers moving on the floor
There's a memory I can't ignore
Of listening to the D.J. play the record
Take your partner and move around
And I'm dancing in my baby's arms again

I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance

Every night it's always there
The memory of our sad affair
I'm underneath the coloured lights
You're asking me am I alright
I can only answer "I'm the dancer"
Whose sense of rhythm is paralyzed
Til I'm dancing in my baby's arms again

I don't wanna dance
Not without my baby
I don't wanna dance
Not without my sweetheart
I don't wanna dance...not tonight
(repeat to fade)


@SONG: Iris (N.Finn) 2:49


She's unaware, she'll never see me stare
Standing in the safety of my room
Oh I don't know, whether she comes or goes
But I know I'll be seeing her quite soon

Ooh, Iris
The girl with the lovely name
I feel desirous
I got that girl to blame
Ooh Iris

I'll be brave, put all my fears away
I'm hoping that I get the chance to meet her
Sun or rain, I wait here every day
I wonder if I'll get the chance to kiss her

Ooh, Iris
I'm stuck at the window pane
I feel desirous
I got that girl to blame
Ooh Iris

Ooh, Iris
The girl with the lovely name
I feel desirous
I got that girl to blame
Ooh Iris (repeat til fade)

@SONG: Clumsy (T.Finn)


Something in my genes makes me uncoordinated
A butter-fingered boy, my D.N.A. was deviated
I don't want to tell a lie, I'm an ungainly guy
Girls are graceful when they dance
Oh, I really love to watch them dancing

Yeah, I'm clumsy
Yeah, real clumsy
I'm clumsy, and I don't ever hope to see you back

Look at that negro go
He's moving like a cat in a factory
Why can't I do that, I'm full of beans and I'm spilling the drinks
In the meantime we'll survive, I was born to bungle
And at last I realise
That nobody's taking me for granted

Yeah, I'm clumsy
Yeah, real clumsy
I'm clumsy, and I don't ever hope to see you back
I'm clumsy, and I don't ever hope to be relaxed
(repeat to fade)


@SONG: History never repeats (N.Finn)


History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
Don't say the words you might regret
I've lost before you know I can't forget

There was a girl I used to know
She dealt my love a savage blow
I was so young, too blind to see
But anyway that's History

(I say) History never repeats
I Tell myself before I go to sleep
Don't say the words you might regret
I've lost before you know I can't forget

You say I always played the fool
I can't go on if that's the rule
Better to jump than hesitate
I need a change and I can't wait

History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart (ah-ar)

History never repeats (x2)

Deep in the night it's all so clear
I lie awake with great ideas
Lurking about in no-man's land
I think at last I understand

History never repeats
I tell myself before I go to sleep
And there's a light shining in the dark
Leading me on towards a change of heart (ah-ar)
Never repeats (x3)
Hey Hey, Hey...


@SONG: Walking through the ruins (T.Finn)


Walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah, I'm walking through the ruins
Well I don't know what I'm doing
I'm just walking through the ruins of love

My will is broken, there's no escaping
I'm dragging my feet through the dust and rubble of our love
We build cathedrals to ransack and pillage
Religiously smash them all down

Walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl pulled it down
Yeah, I'm walking through the ruins
Well I don't know what I'm doing
I'm just walking through the ruins of love

Sunlight is streaming through columns and pillars
Come out in the open, the walls have fallen down
Snap of her fingers, crack goes the ceiling
I'm feeling broken inside

Walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah, I'm walking through the ruins
Well I'm walking through the ruins of love ..?.. the chance to say
I don't know what I'm doing,
I'm just walking through the ruins of love
(okay)

Walking through the ruins
Ever since my girl smashed it down
Yeah I'm walking through the ruins
Yeah I know I could forget if I could only get away
Walking through the ruins every minute every day
I don't know what I'm doing
I'm just walking through the ruins of love...(yeah)


@SONG: Ships (N.Finn)


Even ships of the night
Send out the alarm
My face is turning white
In case of emergency
I wonder if I might slow down rest up

I'd like to get away
If my doctor lets me
Here in my waiting room
I'm pacing nervously
But I'm no give-away
Deep down messed up
Hit town dressed up
To the nines, to the nines, to the nines, to the nines

Some people pop a pill, when they feel exposed
Long as I'm dressed to kill
I'll make sure no-one knows
Disguised in fancy-dress
Deep down, messed up
Hit town dressed up
To the nines, to the nines, to the nines, my disguise

(mind your step)

Deep down, messed up
Hit town dressed up
To the nines, to the nines, to the nines, to the nines
To the nines, to the nines, to the nines, my disguise


@SONG: Ghost girl (T.Finn)


Pale as the sunrise and cold as the moonlight
She suddenly glides into view
Echoing footsteps
Meandering laughter it's you, ooh

Every whisper reveals a dark secret
Her first and last love was untrue
And behind the makeup are the scars of a breakup
You can see it right through
The ghost girl

Don't get too close boy, to the ghost girl
She's already started haunting you

Utter dispair has a fatal attraction
When clothed in a shimmering gown
But don't take up where her assassin left off
Or you'll be let down by the ghost girl

Don't get too close boy, to the ghost girl
She's already started haunting you

She spooks me, woh, the ghost girl
Come to me, woh, the ghost girl
In the middle of the night, woh, the ghost girl
She spooks me, woh, woh, woh

Ghost girl
Don't get too close boy, to the ghost girl
She's already started haunting you
Ghost girl
Don't get too close boy, to the ghost girl
She's already started haunting you
Ghost girl (repeat til fade)
