Chemical Reaction

1. Start it up now
You can start me up now
You can take me out of my mind
You give me your love
And your love is the electric kind
Let me feel the waves
Crashing over me
While you're shining
In the moonlight
Naked in the sunset
Baby you invade
While I'm trying to say woah
Got a chemical reaction going
Girl, your loving keeps me up all night
I'm not anything but high
With you in my life

Ch.1 You can drive in my car
If you can drive into my heart
You can walk around my place
If you walk in your
Thigh boots and lace
I don't care what you do
But whatever you do
You gotta take me too

2. You hit the spot
You get me hot
You put air on my G string
Candy's alright, Patty's alright
But Sally's much more
Than just a physical thing
Start it up today
And never change your mind
We can take the strain
Maybe every life has a parallel line
I like the way your eyes say take me
I like your hair falling in my face
I like you telling me
We've got the time and the space

Ch.2 I could fly you round the world
If you tell everyone that you're my girl
I could write you anything
If it might be a song that you would sing
You can tell me what you want
But if you do
You gotta want me too

Break: Cos you're all I want
I can't explain this feeling
Oh - oh oh oh
And when you told me you want me
Like I want you
I felt my eyes
Turn from brown to blue

Ch You can drive in my car
If you can drive into my heart
You can walk around my place
If you're walking around without a bass
I could fly you round the world
If you tell everyone that you're my girl
I could write you anything
If it might be a song that you would sing
You can tell me what you want
But if you do
You gotta want me too

Na Na Na Na Na

1. Standing on a bridge at midnight
Midnight people crawling all around
Scare me half to death
It's bad for my breath
Well it's a funny kind of pleasure ground
Some people take to praying
Some people talk a lot on the phone
I hear them talk on the 0898
You're gonna get wet
But that's all you're gonna get on your own
And so you might as well be
Singing with me
It's so easy

Ch: Sing - na na na na na
Is there anybody out there
Can anyone get out of their car
Na na na na na
I know you can try
To show me
Just what kinda people you are

2. What the hell is do wap
Bop bop showaddywaddy
I don't need it anyway
One for the money sounds fine
But tell me why I can't rhyme
With any thing you say
I let you hear me playing
I sing it to you over the phone
I don't know why communicating's
Got to seem like I do it on my own
And so I might as well
Just sing my song
Cos' it's so easy

Don't Tell Me

1. Wait a lifetime
Waiting for the day to come
Maybe I will
And maybe I won't try
Stopping when I find the one
You say I might as well be
Turning to a life of crime
But you and I don't have to fight
To steal a little time

Ch.1 Don't tell me what I'm going through
Don't tell me this is high or low
Don't want your private number
I don't need your answerphone
Don't give me a new direction
Don't sell me your sex appeal
I don't suppose you'll ever know
The way I feel

2. I said wait a minute
Wait a minute (oh yeah)
We got time tonight
Now maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong
But there's a lot of time to get it right
Should I spend my life
Just waiting for the van to come
Cos you and I get by
But it hurts just a little sometimes

Ch.2 Don't make me walk on water
Don't turn on your radio
Don't tell me anything about me
I don't really want to know
Don't give me an easy answer
Don't sell me your latest deal
I don't suppose you'll ever know
If this is real

Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba

1. She got me rising like a flood tide
But she won't even turn the lights out
She didn't have to turn into an iceberg
When I said she might like to check out the pipework
I - I, I, I, I'm
Just trying to get by
Now I've talked myself dry
(But) I might as well be saying

Ch: Ba ba ba ba ba
I'm not getting
Fa fa fa fa fa
We should be singing
La la la la la
But all I get is
Ba ba ba ba ba - ba ba ba ba

2. She gives me fruit but no nuts
She gives me fruit but no nuts
I get my fingers caught up in her necklace
I'll never get her my Swiss-style breakfast cos
I, I, I, I'm
Just trying to make it fly
But she leaves me mystified by all the

Ch: Ba ba ba ba ba
I'm not getting
Fa fa fa fa fa
We should be singing
La la la la la
But all I get is
Ba ba ba ba ba - ba ba ba ba

Break:

Talking 'bout the real thing
I'm talking 'bout the works
I don't know about the real thing, yeah
I only know how it hurts

SOLO

3. I wanna cook up a love that leaves me wide-eyed
But my girl's loving leaves me deep-fried
How can I tell the guys about this
We hang around together
You know we hug and kiss
But when we're alone
And we're really getting set
I know it's gonna hurt
Cos the furthest that we get's a lot of

Ch: Ba ba ba ba ba
I'm not getting
Fa fa fa fa fa
We should be singing
La la la la la
But all I get is
Ba ba ba ba ba - ba ba ba ba

Don't Tango on my Heart

I found a situation
So last night I let my life go
Now my friends say maybe
I must be kinda crazy
Getting that close
But it's hopeless
So all I've got to say is

Take me apart
But don't tango on my heart

I walk around in a daydream
It's unreal
I can talk but I can't hear what I say
I just keep playing
The song they kept on playing
When I held you close
And I knew
Oh I knew you would

Take me apart
Maybe tango on my heart
Don't stop killing me now
Let me wrap myself
Around your finger now

When I shut my eyes
It get's me high
Of all the girls and all the lives
And you walked in to mine
And I'm flying, flying, flying

[Solo]
Take me apart
Don't tango on my heart
Don't bring me down
Just spin me round and round
and round and round and
Take me apart
Just tango on my heart
Take me to town
Let me go down for the third time while you
Tango on my
Tango on my
Tango on my heart

Highwire

1. I don't wanna listen to you
Say tomorrow is the next stop
Some kind of promised land
Lock away your precious things
That you're too scared to drop
Don't hold them in your hand
They might jump into the sky
Step out and fly
Waving goodbye

Ch.1
Walking on a highwire, looking down
Dancing through the crossfire
Going underground
Winding up a fast ball
Sending a signal
Flying through the danger sign
For peace of mind
I can make it anyway tonight
I don't need to jump
But then I might
Tell me something I might want to know
Something I could die for
Or you can let me go

2. You can have what I don't want
The time to say where has the time gone
Hanging pictures on the wall
And waiting till they fall
Into the sky
Watch them fly
Waving goodbye

SOLO

Ch.2
I don't want you there to break my fall
I won't be the one who saves you
So don't call
Cos all of the lines came crashing down
On the middle ground
Picking up a live wire
Don't ask why
Living with a vampire - terrified
Calling after midnight - no reply
Running with my eyes closed
As I pass you by
Riding with the chain down
Over the edge
Sliding in the rain
Trying to make this bend
Reaching for the pain
Turn it up to ten
It must be something there's no cure for
I'll take it anyway

[Ch.1]

She Came to Play

1. She was a sweet confection
Had my tongue on the floor
She only turned from the mirror cos
She had a thousand ships to launch
She was a loaded device
But I told her "you're the best, I love the dress"
She blew a hole in my mind
Never saw my SOS - SOS

Ch: She came to play
Watching my heart drift away
I'm going under
She turns out to wave
Someone try to save me
Love run me through
It might run to you

2. She had a neat complexion
She had legs from here to Tokyo
Kinda makes you wonder how a Japanese boy's
Gonna use a set of painted toes
He should be stepping in time with you baby
You're the girl - all round the world
While you're tossing your hair
All the boys can toss and turn

Ch: She came to play
Watching my heart drift away
I'm going under
She turns out to wave
Someone try to save me
Love run me through
She could do it too
She might run to you
Break: (Float away)

[Here come the twiddly bits]
[Solo]

Ch: She came to play
Watching my heart drift away
I'm going under
She turns out to wave
Hold on to me baby
You can save the day
Don't hold me under
You can stop the pain
She came to play
Watching my heart drift away
I'm going under
She turns out to wave
She came to play
She just came to play

Just a Little Word

I needed subtitles to hear what you were saying
I'm not a genius - I can't tell if you're playing
But I took a deep breath - I jumped off the deep end
I asked her if I could and she said well that depends

Now all I want to do [want to do]
Is try 'n communicate with you
All I want to do is
Have a little word with you

I need my sunglasses to look in your bright eyes
I bought a diamond but it's not the right size
I found the kitchen - I've seen what's cooking
I set my sights so high I find that I'm still looking

Now all I want to do [want to do]
Is try 'n communicate with you
All I want to do is
Have a little word with you

Break:
So I gave up the ghost
I didn't want it anyway
And what I miss the most
Is translating what she tried to say

Shoot an Arrow at my Heart

1. Two hearts on fire
Burning for a lifetime
One heart was mine
And one belonged to someone
And I've just found the one
Baby I'm a-want you
I really need you
Kick starting up my life
Everybody wants you
But they don't want you
More than I do tonight
So baby

Ch 1: Shoot an arrow at my heart
Baby watch my love
Come tumbling out now
I can't stop the flood
It just falls like rain
I love that pain now
Loving you can't be wrong
And your arrows can't hurt anyone

2. Cover me in champagne
Curl your lips around me
Baby we can aquaplane
The world can wait
While we're slip sliding away
Baby I'm a-want to
Turn you on to
Loving like an acrobat
Could never do
Everybody wants you
But all I want you to
Tell them is you got someone
Who wants you to
Ch: Shoot an arrow at my heart
Baby watch my love
Come tumbling out now
I can't stop the flood
It just falls like rain
I love that pain now
Loving you can't be wrong
And your arrows can't hurt anyone

Break: I had a vision in blue
The kind that switched
My mind to overload
Now the vision is true
And here's the part of it
You don't know
The vision was you
Now all I wanna do is
Touch and glow

Baby I'm a-want you
I really need you
Kick starting up my life
Everybody wants you
But they don't want you
More than I do tonight
So baby

Ch 1:

Ch 2: Shoot an arrow at my heart
Baby, I can guarantee my love now
You could hit me in the dark
I get hit cos you can't miss now
Loving is everything
Please take my love
It's got no strings
Shoot an arrow at my heart
[Shoot an arrow at my heart]

Don't Take That Away

1. Dancing in the heat
Getting steamed up
Looking at a sexual athlete
Up the temperature
And hop, step, jump
Give me elevation, baby
If all you need is love
I'm a naked ape
It's my life and I do what I like
It's my mind it's alright
It's all snow white

Ch: You can't take that away now
You can't take the game away
You can't take what I can't give you anyway
No, you can't take that away
Take that away

2. Taking Fanny up the hill
Playing tick tack
Tow a little line down the middle -
Try and play a little (longer)
In the darkness
Covering up all the bad things
Coming up for air gives me the bends
It's my life and I do what I like
It's my mind it's alright
It's all snow white
Ch.2: But don't take that away
(Take that away)
It's only mine for just a day
Don't take that away
(Take that away)
It should be mine to give away
It could be the only game I play
It should be mine for just a day

No don't take that away now
You can't take the game away
You can't take what I can't give you anyway
Don't take that away, no don't you
Take it all away

It's only mine for just today
Don't take that away - it should be mine
To give away
Cos it's the only game I play

Don't take that away
(Take that away)

Walking in the Hamptons

Hey tonight
We're going down to my town for suicide
What a nice line in shirts
To lie down and laugh in the dirt
Oh no no no
Jeff's got a deal on
He can't go
Hey hey, what do you say
We can have a lot of fun anyway

Ch.1 Get out the audience
I'm going to the Hamptons
Down to status symbol land
Nothing happens here
And nothing needs to happen here
Down in status symbol land

Oh no no no
Don't touch that lever please
My helicopter means the difference to me
I know you only meant to please
But lives can be lost in the squeeze

Yo ho
I can be the captain, it's my boat
Hey hey bucket and spade
Break up the ice
And shovel in the snow

Ch.2 Get me an ambulance
I'm walking in the Hamptons
I'm gonna fall down in the sand
Nothing happens here
And nothing needs to happen here
Cos this is status symbol land

Ch.3 Everybody take your lover's handles
Conga down to status symbol land
Everytime's a party time
I'll send a line back from the Hamptons

Walk - in the Hamptons
Snort - in the Hamptons
Jump - in the Hamptons
Dump - in the Hamptons
