Zazou, what you're gonna do?
There's a lot of people gunning for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
That Zazou, he don't care
Dark glasses, a long hair
Takes his time, sneers at men
Some ugly people want to revenge
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
In the night
That Zazou, he sleeps all day
Then down to Select or Le Collisee
Sips his drinks, orders more
Says what he thinks and it's a crazy war
Zazou, what you're gonna do?
A knock on the door in the night
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
And when the soldiers strut
All he cares about
Is love
When the flags are out
All he cares about
Is love
Well, there's a thin line between love and crime
And in this situation
A thin line between love and crime and -

Zazou, what you're gonna do?
There's a lot of people gunning for you
Zazou, comment allez-vous?
A knock on the door in the night
Now everybody's under somebody's spell
Unless they've already gone to hell
In the streets you can hear the people say
That Zazou, he should be locked away!
When the soldiers strut, all he cares about
Is love
Oh, when the flags are out, all he cares about
Is love
And there's a thin line between love and crime

A Man Could Get Arrested [12" mix]
Do it (do it do it do it do it...)
Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it...
Do it now do it now do it now do it now do it now do it now do it now
Do it (do it do it do it do it...)
Late on Tuesday evening, such a commotion in the street
Someone broke a window and someone's head got beat
A wave of breaking bottles, crashed along the city street
And someone got arrested for a breach of the peace
If you wanna walk (walk walk walk walk)
Don't talk (talk talk talk talk)
Do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna earn (earn earn earn earn)
Learn (learn learn learn)
How to do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
And if you wanna ride (ride ride ride ride)
Don't hide (don't hide)
Do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna stay (stay stay stay)
Don't say (say say say)
Prove it! (Prove it prove it prove it prove it prove it prove it)
How much longer are you gonna sit and talk to me?
You got so many problems and a split personality
You want to see a doctor before our love is tested
How much longer a man could get arrested?
If you wanna walk (walk walk walk walk)
Don't talk (talk talk talk talk)
Do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna earn (earn earn earn earn)
Learn (learn learn learn learn)
How to do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it)
And if you wanna ride (ride ride ride ride)
Don't hide (hide hide hide hide hide)
Do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it do it)
And if you wanna stay (stay stay stay)
Don't say (say say say)
Prove it! (Prove it prove it prove it prove it prove it prove it)
You've got your health, you've got everything, that's what my doctor said
You may not have much cash, but you've got a roof over your head
Of course I said I loved you, not just 'cause you insisted
How much longer a man could get arrested?
If you wanna walk (walk walk walk walk)
Don't talk (talk talk talk talk)
Do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna earn (earn earn earn earn)
Learn (learn learn learn learn)
How to do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna ride
Don't hide
Do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna stay (stay stay stay stay stay)
Don't say (say say say say say say)
Do it! (Do it do it)
Do it! (Do it do it do it do it do it do it)
Why don't, why don't we do it now?
Do it now?
Why don't, why don't we do it now?
Why don't we do it now?
Why don't, why don't we do it now?
Why don't we do it now?
Why don't we do it now?
That's My Impression [disco mix]
I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
You'd been and gone - I know you lied
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
The wind was chilly and the sky was dull
I went for shelter to the temple
Once inside I couldn't believe my eyes
You'd been and gone - I know you lied
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
Go to a club - you think I'll be there
I don't go 'cause I'm not a member
You said you went to apologise
It's plain to me that's one more lie
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression (impression)
That's my impression
I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly, I realised
You'd been and gone - I know you lied
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
That's my impression
It's an expression
And a suggestion
I learned my lesson
That's my impression
That's my impression (impression)
That's my impression
That's my impression (impression)
I learned my lesson
I went looking for someone I couldn't find
Staring at faces by the Serpentine
Walking slowly I realised
You'd been and gone - I know you lied
That's my impression
I know you lied
And that's my impression
That's my impression
My impression
That's my impression
Was That What It Was?
Think again - remember what we said
Promises - how we both forget
Even now I see it in your eyes
When and why and where was paradise?
Something's been and gone
When all is said and done; we were wrong
Was that what it was?
Was that what it was?
Think again - remember what you said
You'd never leave - if you did I wouldn't care
I never dared to ring you up and ask you why
Too proud to beg or hear you cry
Something's been and gone
When all is said and done; we were wrong
Was that what it was?
Was that what it was?
I don't need any more in my life
Did you need something more in your life?
Was that what it was?
Was that what it was?
Something's been and gone
When all is said and done; we were wrong
Was that what it was?
Was that what it was?

But what I do like, I love passionately)

Jack The Lad
Ooooooh oooooh
Lawrence in the desert
How was he to know
Under so much pressure
From the men back home?
Play with fire, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
Play with guns, you must be bad
Or hiding something, Jack!
Telling lies in public
Breaking codes at home
Underneath the blankets
For another roll
Tell these lies, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
To feast with panthers every night
You must be careful, Jack!
Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool
We all fall, even Jack the Lad
We all fall, even Jack the Lad
Will fall
Philby in the desert
Looking for a phone
Waiting on the pavement
For a call from home
Play with fire, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
Turn your back on friends you had
They must have hurt you, Jack!
Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool
We all fall, even Jack the Lad
We all fall, even Jack the Lad
Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool
We all fall, even Jack the Lad
We all fall, even Jack the Lad
Will fall...
You Know Where You Went Wrong
Two men on the street
Drinking something cheap
No home, no family
It's cold, nowhere to sleep
Passers-by never catch their eye
Anywhere, one man drinks, the other swears
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
The old man can't understand
No one will shake his hand
I gave security, bombs and colour TV
It cost a few lives
Someone's son always dies
No one shakes his hand
He don't understand
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
This is the history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who don't understand
What's going on anymore
The history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who don't understand
What's going on anymore
(What's going on?)
Two girls have a photograph
One looks, the other laughs
He could have been mine
Why did I change my mind?
Then hands on hips
The other girl says: Admit! Admit!
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
This is the history of the world (of the world)
Of every boy and every girl
Who don't (who don't) understand (understand)
What's going on anymore (what's going on?)
The history of the world (Ooooh)
Of every boy and every girl (Every boy and girl)
Who don't (who don't) understand (understand)
What's going on anymore (what's going on?)
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
(Aaaah)
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
(Aaaah)
(Aaaah)
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
(Aaaah) You know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
You know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
You know
You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
You know
A New Life
At night it hits me cold
There's so much more to life
Than I'll ever know
I look around and I realise
It's time to make a move
Though you won't sympathise
Stars collect overhead
They look down on the channel
And our lives grown dead
Cars pass on through the night
How do you get to Heaven
If you never try?
New life, new love
Where's the heart I was dreaming of?
I need a new hope, new dream
Another heart in a different scene
Make a firm decision
It's time to go
That's for you to find out
And for me to know
No more hard times or petty crimes
Forget that life I have left behind
The night goes by
Leaving you behind me, as I fly
Then rise, the day and night sky
How do you get to Heaven
If you never try?
New life, new love
Where's the heart I was dreaming of?
I need a new hope, new dream
Another heart in a different scene
A new life, it's so hard to find
A new love, it's so hard to find
The night goes by
Leaving you behind me, as I fly
There lies the day in that sky
How do you get to Heaven
If you never try?
New life, new love
Where's the heart I was dreaming of?
I need a new hope, new dream
Another heart in a different scene
New life, new love
Where's the heart I was dreaming of?
I need a new hope, new dream
Another heart in a different scene
I Want A Dog
I want a dog
A chihuahua
When I get back to my small flat
I want to hear somebody bark
Oh, (oh oh) you can get lonely
Don't want a cat
Scratching its claws all over my
Habitat
Giving no love and getting fat
Oh, (oh oh) you can get lonely
And a cat's no help with that
(Bulldog, hound, pug, labrador,
Collie, retriever, Dobermann-pinscher,
Husky, dalmatian, St. Bernard and dachshund,
Mongrel, beagle, cocker spaniel)
I want a dog
To walk in the park
When it gets dark, my dog will bark
At any passers-by
Oh, (oh oh) you can get lonely
I want a dog
I want a dog
A chihuahua
When I get back to my small flat
I want to hear somebody bark
Oh, (oh oh) you can get lonely
Do I Have To?
I don't care what you've said
And I mean it
I don't care what you've shared
'Cause I've seen it
Who's to judge if you're wrong?
This is a bad time
Just as long as you break his heart
And not mine
Tell him you're a liar
Tell him I'm a saint
Say it's much too early
Or just too late
Tell him that you're weak
Beg him to be strong
Say you're very sorry
But you were wrong
Do I have to? Don't say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? Don't say!
Do I need to love you?
It's a fatal mistake
And you know it
That you're dying to make
You'll pay for it
It's already too late
Go on, admit it
Tell him it's a problem
Tell him it's too hard
Say you've phoned your best friend
And Scotland Yard
Swear that there'll be murder
Tell him that I'm ill
Say you know it's blackmail
But that don't kill
Do I have to? Don't say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? Don't say
That I need to love you?
Do I have to? Oh, don't say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? Don't say
Do I need to love you?
I know what you assume about me
I heard, but do I have to plead?
Do I have to? Don't say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? Don't say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? Don't say!
Do I need to love you?
Do I have to? Don't say
That I need to love you
Do I have to?
Do I have to?
Don't say
Do I have to?
Love you?
I Get Excited (You Get Excited Too)

(Excited excited excited excited)

(I get excited)
We're both in the gutter
That's no surprise
What does it matter
When I look in your eyes?
We've lost all our money
We're thrown out of bars
We're lying in the gutter
But we're looking at the stars
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I hear the sound of the subway
The sigh of the heat
The click of the visitors'
Heels on the street
The rattle of the taxi
The scream of the cars
The clatter of the dustbin
And the beat of my heart
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Excited excited excited excited)
(Excited excited excited excited)
You're in my soul
My body moves to your control
Baby, I've been thinking about you
All night long, and the neighbours are talking
I don't know why, I don't know why (Excited) (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Excited) (I get excited)
We're both in the gutter
That's no surprise
What does it matter
When I look in your eyes?
We've lost all our money
We're thrown out of bars
We're lying in the gutter
But we're looking at the stars
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Excited excited excited excited)
(Excited excited excited excited)
(Ooooooooh)
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too
Don Juan
The man who's escorting Don Juan to his bride
Knows he is courting an impudent pride
Think of his jealousy, oh, where will he hide?
The man who's escorting Don Juan to his bride
The man who will cover for Don Juan's old soothsayer
Films for a Warner brother or Mister Goldwyn-Meyer
Think of his starlet, how much will he pay her?
The man who will cover for Don Juan's old soothsayer
An impasse has been reached
With the teacher of the rich
To quit would be discreet if swift
But you know that I can't do that
It would be a disaster
It would be a disaster
I've got this sinking feeling
I'm not dreaming
We'll be sorry soon
(Hahahahaha)
At the end of the day, when everyone's resigned
To the heart of the matter and the measures in mind
King Zog's back from holiday, Mary Lupescu's grey
And King Alexander is dead in Marseilles
An impasse has been reached
With the teacher of the rich
To quit would be discreet if swift
But you know that I can't do that
It would be a disaster
It would be a disaster
I've got this sinking feeling
I'm not dreaming
We'll be sorry soon

The Sound Of The Atom Splitting [12" version]
I hate you
I hate you
Nothing will ever be the same
Oh really
Don't be silly
I told you it was all a game
Whenever I see you or your work
It makes me feel like spitting
What's that noise?
Oh that
We've been expecting it for ages
It's the sound of the atom splitting
He's a villain,
Him over there
With a stocking on his head
Look, there's another one
They call themselves pinheads
What's that noise over there?
Is it the corrogated iron they're hitting?
No, no, it's perfectly normal
It's just the sound of the atom splitting
Whose side are you on anyway?
Is that some kind of threat?
Well, I suppose it will have to do
As long as you don't make too much mess
And would the last person to leave
- Once you all finish kissing -
Turn the video on to record
You never know what you're missing
Bread and circuses
And maybe later
The sound of the atom splitting
Quiet at the back, please!
No whistling
It's the sound
The sound
The sound of the atom splitting
I hate you
I hate you
Quiet at the back, please!
No whistling
It's the sound
The sound
The sound of the atom splitting
It's the sound
The sound
The sound of the atom splitting
Oh really
Don't be silly
I told you it was all a game
It's the sound
What's that noise?
Quiet at the back, please!
One Of The Crowd
When I go fishing with my rod
I often get that urge
To fall asleep a sleep so deep that
No one notices me
Don't want anyone to know my name
Don't want to get a fax
Don't want to meet the Royal Family
Just 'cause I've paid my tax
Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd
Dressing individually doesn't impress me
I think that it's pathetic
Following fashion, I just like it
Don't I?
Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd
(One of the crowd)
(One of the crowd)
Fishing
Fishing
I never fight, but every night
I think it's gonna be alright
I think I might think in spite of
Every - thing
Don't wanna be seen or heard
Don't want to shout out loud
I want to be part of the herd
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
One of the crowd
(One of the crowd)

Your Funny Uncle
A windy day
The cars in slow formation
Not far away
A final destination
One mother's son
His father's distant gaze, regretting
Where they went wrong
He always found it too upsetting
Me and my friend
We lived our lives completely
From start to end
You and your friend, so sweetly
With strength and pride
In spite of everything, went swimming
Against the tide
To obstinately hope of winning
And at the end
Your funny uncle staring
At all your friends
With military bearing
And stopped to stand
To smile and speak of you directly
Goodbye, shake hands
Like you did everything correctly
To wipe away the tears
No more pain, no fear
No sorrow or dying
No waiting or crying
These former things have passed away
Another life begins today
