Your confiscating transmission
For liberty, no sympathy
Don't interfere with direct invitations
She's talking of communial love
Woo-wo, woo-wo
If you had what it takes
Well, you wouldn't be afraid
But you got no ID,
No identity
You got no ID,
No identity
Don't break your heart over me, baby
Your body falls, too unpredictable
But I'm dancing
The game is up -
Your contraceptives low
Woo-wo, woo-wo
If you had what it takes
Well, you wouldn't be afraid
But you got no ID,
No identity
You got no ID,
No identity
Woo-wo, woo-wo
If you had what it takes
Well, you wouldn't be afraid
But you got no ID,
No identity
You programme, love, insatiable crime
Imprisons me - in liberty
Your chauvinism's a sensuous smile
Transmission of commercial love
Woo-wo, woo-wo
If you had what it takes
Well, you wouldn't be afraid
But you got no ID,
No identity
You got no ID,
No identity
But you got no ID,
No identity!
But you got no ID,
No identity.
Take position and love will take a stand
That is the way it goes
No inquisition, no cynical demands
No-one should ever know
Because I'm dancing
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart, now baby
Oh, what a way to start
Because I'm dancing
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart, now baby
What a way to start
Well, I'm trying to find
All the love we discovered
That is the way it goes
No perversion in this unconventional love
No way I'd rather see
No diversion in this unintentional love
No way I'd rather be
Because I'm dancing
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart, now baby
Oh, what a way to start
Because I'm dancing
Dancing to your heart
Dancing to your heart, now baby
What a way to start
Degradation takes a soul potential
The woman ain't to blame, well
Infiltrate the morning's passing hours
But love remains the same, well
I know I wish you were black
But ain't no use you pretending
She ain't ever coming back
To put you on the right track
Unamerican humour
With all-American smile
Hovers on the horizon, baby
But no-one can reply, well, well
I know I wish you were black
But ain't no use you pretending
She ain't ever coming back
To put you on the right track
To put you on the right track
To put you on the right, right, right
To put you on the right track
Breezing, breezing, she's no lover
Nobody's lover, babe!
Breezing, breezing
Satisfaction unrequited
A ghetto in your heart
Hoards of mass production baby
Is keeping us apart
I know I wish you were black
But ain't no use singing gospel
She ain't ever coming back
To put you on the right track
To put you on the right track
To put you on the right track
To put you on the right, right, right
To put you on the right track
Well, I'm trying to find
All the love we discovered
That is the way it goes
Take it easy
Check me out - wo-hoo
Take it easy
Aw, check me out, check it out!
I move from the car wash
Your hands are not clean
From your fascist graffitti
I'm getting kind of tired
Descending escalators
To the heart of the subway
But you are not the only one, baby
Oh, no... check me out!
Oh, well, it's getting kind of silly
Inadequate bodies are waging a war
But you'd better check the situation
Your mouth is open wide
But your body is too sore, see
But you are not the only one baby
Check me out!
But my performance is good, oh babe!
Performance is good, yeah
My performance is good for your love, for your love
As I perform for you
Another nervous breakdown, yeah!
Well nobody has to suffer
The camera ejects from another location
Take refuge in the city
Then move on down the line
Between the cradle of stations
But you are not the only one, baby
Check me out!
But my performance is good, oh babe!
Performance is good, yeah!
My performance is good for your love, for your love
As I perform for you
Another nervous breakdown, yeah!
my performance is good, aw babe!
Performance is good, yeah!
My performance is good for your love, for your love
My performance is good...
Begging, pleading, lose your love to me
It's all that I need, oh yeah
And no fool can ease my heart my love, yeah
The way that you do
I will follow you
Lovers on Main Street
Well, don't forget me when you're laughing
Disbelieving in all I've said
When you're lying back to back
With your problems
Satisfaction comes slow
You will never know
Lovers on Main Street
But if you need somebody to love
Think of me
But if your time has come
Lovers on Main Street
Aw well, arguementative self-conceited
You console all the love I possess, aw baby yea
But you'll conceal your own misfortune
Leave heartache behind
You can always find
Lovers on Main Street
But if you need somebody to love
Think of me
But if your time has come
Lovers on Main Street
Don't tell me not to live
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud 'round
To rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly
I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It's me not you
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade
I'll march my band out
And I'll beat my drum
And if I'm spammed out
Your turn at bat sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat sir
Nearly didn't make it
Maybe I'm just a rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
A cinder of a shiny apple of it's eye
I've gotta fly once
I gotta try once
Only can die once
Right, sir?
Love is juicy, juicy and I'll say
I gotta have my bite, sir!
Well, look out love oh babe I'm coming
Don't tell me not to march
My heart's a drummer
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw that bell will go clang
High on the target and wham
One shot, one gunshot and bam!
Don't tell me not to live
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly
I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It's me, not you
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade
Below the city's hustle begins
Expression lost in suburban winds
Don't waste my time, the way you do, yeah
My heart on Main Street, my love for you
Take your turn on the love carousel
Your time will come and I wish you well
'Cos you've got love
Got a whole lot more
If you've got what I've been searching for
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot take me, take me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot push me, push me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot take me, take me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot push me, push me much higher
Slow down, babe, a love can't wait
When time comes for you, you can't be late
With burning love, the whole night through
What I do babe, I do for you
So let the wind come rushing in
Feel a soul sensation begin
'Cos you've got love
Got a whole lot more, yeah
And you've got what I've been searching for, yeah baby!
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot take me, take me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot push me, push me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot take me, take me much higher
Earth wind, earth wind and fire
Cannot push me, push me much higher
The sidewalk's trading love
As subway lights grow brighter
We're just another hype
But the pressure's getting harder
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
A lovers' etiquette
Make love on first impression
And adolescent sex with juvenile intentions
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Well, the lady buys a thrill
Excitement in succession
But a heartache won't partake
In articulate obsession
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Oh yeah!
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Oh, well, pretty things at rest
No courtesy surprising
For love is heaven blessed
All catastrophies denying
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Aw, when we were out on the streets
With lovers infections
Count impossibilities by illumination
And your body's still damp
From your one-room apartment
And your heartache remains, then
Love's not the anecdote
You'll submerge again
Emerge again
Just get ??astray!
(Can you hear me?)
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Just keep on dancing
Whatever gets you through the night
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Get on up, get on up, get on up
Take it much higher
Your skin, a white stained sensation
Clinical bodies won't do, wo-wo!
And as we're pumping, pumping and resisting
Inserting love into you
Communist China
Communist China
Take me to heaven
Somebody wrong
We'll throw glass in your face
Call it new propaganda, still
We've been waiting for so long!
I'll take you out in the moonlight
Oblique horizons won't do, wo-wo,
The knife in your fist
Is breaking up the white walls
Here's penetration for you
Communist China
Communist China
Take me to heaven
Somebody wrong
We'll throw glass in your face
Call it new propaganda, still
We've been waiting for - so long!
Face-to-face confrontation
Personal problems for you, wo-wo!
The conversation's getting far too vicious
Impersonation won't do
Communist China
Communist China
Oh, take me to heaven
Somebody wrong
We'll throw glass in your face
Say it's new propaganda,
We've been waiting for.
I apologise again
Time after time after time
The conversation drifts
In no general direction
And your aural love
Is keeping me from bed
And it's talking and talking
It's all you ever said
You know it's all you want
All you want
It's all you want
All you want
You don't fool me, you don't fool me
No surprises, no surprises
Love in the hallway
Sex on the carpet
Antagonism rising
You know you try to categorise me
Because it's all you ever wanted
It's all you want
All you want
It's all you want
All you want
But you're changing my love
'Cos all you want is - television!
No heart is infected
No damage is done
No cavity open
Nobody, no fun
They throw shit in your face
And you smile
They throw shit in your face
And you still come up smiling
You've got nothing to believe in
The diverse
The young and
The breathing
It's all you want
All you want
All you want
All you want
They say it's
All you want
All you want
Television
Television
Television
Television
Television
Television
Television
You've got blasphemy with a smile
Insomnia sleeps with you nights
You've got commercial sex appeal
In sterile black and white
You're glorious colourless motion
From reel to reel you run
Nocturnal television
Internal sanctum
But it's all you want
All you want
It's all you want
All you want - want
I bet you're changing my love
All I want is
Television
But you're changing my love
I said I don't want
Well but you're changing my love
'cos I don't want
It's television
All night and day
All night and day
All night and day
It's all you ever wanted
It's all you ever wanted
it's all you want
All you want
All you want
All you want
All you want
...fucking television!
