Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
Sometimes you’re better off dead
There’s gun in your hand and it’s pointing at your head
You think you’re mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there’s a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?
(How much do you need?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
West End girls
West End girls

(How much do you need?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Oooh West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End Girls
West End girls

You’ve got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait ’till I get you home
We’ve got no future, we’ve got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
(How far have you been?)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End Boys, West End girls
West End girls

West End girls

West End girls
(How far have you been?)

Girls
East End boys
And West End girls
And West End girls
And West End girls

East End boys
The West End girls
The West End boys
And West End girls

The West End girls
The West End boys
The West End girls

Bananarama - Venus

Posted by videoscache on 12 February 2008

Bananarama - Venus
Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
She’s got it
Yeah, baby, she’s got it
I’m your Venus, I’m your fire
At your desire
Well, I’m your Venus, I’m your fire
At your desire
Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wa!
Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
Wow!
(Venus was her name)
Yeah baby she’s got it
Yeah baby she’s got it

Europe - The Final Countdown

Posted by videoscache on 4 February 2008

Europe - The Final Countdown

We’re leaving together
but still it’s farewell
and maybe we’ll come back,
to earth, who can tell?

I guess there is no one to blame
we’re leaving ground (leaving ground)
will things ever be the same again?
It’s the final countdown.

The final countdown.

Oh, We’re heading for Venus
and still we stand tall
cause maybe they’ve seen us
and welcome us all
with so many light years to go
and things to be found (to be found)
I’m sure that we’ll all miss her so
It’s the final countdown.

The final countdown.

The final countdown (final countdown).

oh…oh

The final countdown.

oh…oh

It’s the final countdown.

The final countdown.

The final countdown. (final countdown)

It’s the final countdown
we’re leaving together
the final countdown
we’ll all miss her so
It’s the final countdown (final countdown)
oh, it’s the final countdown.

Spandau Ballet - Through The Barricades

Posted by videoscache on 4 February 2008

Spandau Ballet - Through The Barricades

Mother doesn’t know where love has gone
She says it must be youth
That keeps us feeeling strong
See it in her face, that’s turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows
The lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they’re saying
When the sun begins to fade
And we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Father made my history
He fought for what he thought
Would set us somehow free
He tought me what to say in school
I learned off by heart
But now that’s torn in two
And now I know what they’re saying
In the music of the parade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Born on different sides of life
We feel the same
And feel all of this strife
So come to me when I’m asleep
We’ll cross the line
And dance upon the street
And now I know what they’re saying
When the drums begin to fade
We made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Oh, turn around and I’ll be there
There’s a scar through my heart
But I’ll bare it again
I thought we were the human race
But we were just another border-line-case
And the stars reach down and tell us
That there’s always one escape
I don’t know where love has gone
And in this trouble land
Desperation keep us strong
Fridays child is full of soul
With nothing left to lose
There’s everything to go
And now I know what they’re are saying
It’s a terrible beauty we’ve made
So we make our love on wasteland
And through the barricades
Now I know what they’re are saying
as hearts go to their graves
we made our love on wasteland
And through the barricades.
