Another night with open eyes Too late to sleep, too soon to rise You're short of breath, is it a heart attack? Hot and feverish you face the fact You're in love, and it feels like shame Because she's gone and made a fool of you in public again You're in love, and it feels like pain Because you know there's too much truth in everything she claims So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her If she wants you to? Ask yourself: Can you even deliver What she demands of you? You drift into the strangest dreams Of youthful follies and changing teams Admit you're wrong, oh, no, not yet Then you wake up and remember that you can't forget She's made you some kind of laughing stock Because you dance to disco, and you don't like rock She'd make fun of you, and even in bed Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her If she begs you to? Ask yourself: Can you even deliver What she demands of you? Or do you want revenge? But that's childish, so childish! (That's childish, so childish!) Remember when you were more easily led Behind the cricket pavillion and the bicycle shed Trembling as your dreams came true You looked right into those blue eyes and knew It was love, and now you can't pretend You've forgotten all the promises of that first friend It's bad enough, she knows how you feel But she's not prepared to share you with the memory So ask yourself now: Can you forgive her If she begs you to? Ask yourself: Can you even deliver What she demands of you? Ask yourself now: Can you forgive her If she begs you to? And ask yourself: Can you even deliver What she demands of you? Or do you want revenge? But that's childish, so childish! 2. I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing Ask me why, I say it's most unusual How can I even try to explain Why today I feel like dancing Singing like lovers sing When I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing? I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing Ask me when, (ta ra ra ra) I say it started when I met you (ta ra ra ra ra ra) And ever since then I knew that the past couldn't last For right now, I think I'm running A race that I know I'm gonna win And I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing If people say I'm crazy, I tell 'em that it's true Let them watch with amazement Say it won't last beyond breakfast It's a phase he's going through Denigrate or speculate on what I'm going through Because it isn't the sort of thing I would normally do Ask me what, (ta ra ra ra) I say I think it's good for you (ta ra ra ra ra) Believe it or not, I know where it's all leading to I feel like taking all my clothes off Dancing to the Rite of Spring And I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing I wouldn't normally do this kind of - This kind of thing 3. Liberation Take my hand, I've changed my mind again Really, I believed it true That all who fell in love were foolish But I was wrong, I've learned that lesson well All the way back home at midnight You were sleeping on my shoulder Take my hand, Don't think of obligations Now, right now, Your love is liberation To free in me The trust, I never dared I always thought the risk too great But suddenly, I don't hesitate, so Take my hand, Don't think of complications Now, right now, Your love is liberation Liberation Ta ra ra ra ra ra Ta ra ra ra ra ra The night, the stars Our light shone through the dark All the way back home at midnight You were sleeping on my shoulder Take my hand, Don't think of hesitation Now, right now, Your love is liberation Liberation Ta ra ra ra ra ra Ta ra ra ra ra ra Ta ra ra ra ra ra Back home at midnight All the way back home at midnight 4. A Different Point of View When I'm sitting so close to you There's only one thing that I wanna do But I know what you're likely to say That I'm going about it the wrong way We can't agree about anything Where to go or even where we've been And I know what you're likely to do Say that I've never care about you And all I wanted to say was that I love you But you tell me now you don't believe it's true You got a different, a different A different point of view You got a different Point of view You don't believe a single word I say If I'd say black was white, you'd say it was grey But in spite of been treated this way I still dream of you all night and day And all I wanted to say was that I love you But you tell me now you don't believe it's true You got a different, a different A different point of view You got a different Point of view Just this once Just say yes Please You've got a clever way of haunting me I'm never scared, but you're still daunting me 'Cause I know what you're likely to say And I know that you'll get your own way And all I wanted to say was that I love you But you tell me now you don't believe it's true You got a different, a different A different point of view You got a different Point of view You got a different, a different A different point of view You got a different Point of view 5. Dreaming of the Queen Dreaming of the Queen Visiting for tea You and her and I And Lady Di The Queen said: "I'm aghast Love never seems to last However hard you try" And Di replied That there are no more lovers left alive No one has survived So there are no more lovers left alive And that's why love has died Yes, it's true Look, it's happened to me and you Then carriages arrived We stood and said goodbye Diana dried her eyes And looked surprised For I was in the nude The old Queen disapproved But people laughed and asked For autographs And there were no more lovers left alive No one had survived So there were no more lovers left alive And that's why love had died Yes, it's true Look, it's happened to me and you I woke up in a sweat Desolate For there were no more lovers left alive No one had survived So there were no more lovers left alive And that's why love had died Yes, it's true Look, it's happened to me and you 6. Yesterday When I was Mad Darling, you were wonderful, you really were quite good I enjoyed that, though, of course, no one understood A word of what was going on, they didn't have a clue They couldn't understand your sense of humour like I do You're much too kind I smiled with murder on my mind Yesterday, when I was mad And quite prepared to give up everything Admitting, I don't believe In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me You have a certain quality, which really is unique Expressionless, such irony, although your voice is weak It doesn't really matter 'cause the music is so loud Of course it's all on tape, but no one will find out You hated me too But not as much as I hated you Yesterday, when I was mad And quite prepared to give up everything Admitting, I don't believe In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me Then, when I was lonely I thought again And changed my mind Then we posed for pictures with the competition winners And argued about the hotel rooms, and where to go for dinner And someone said: "It's fabulous you're still around today, You've both made such a little go a very long way" Yesterday, when I was mad And quite prepared to give up everything Admitting, I don't believe In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me Yesterday, when I was mad And quite prepared to give up everything Admitting, I don't believe In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me Then, when I was lonely I thought again And changed my mind 7.
