One of the Mods

After ten years I saw my friend Bob
with a leather jacket ,with written on it
' I live by the day, I'm a Mod'
It was signed by 'Bob, one of the Mods'
One of the Mods
 
I could not understand and asked
'Please, tell me what it means 'One of the Mods.' '
He answered me:'Tomorrow, come and see,
bring the woman you love, and dance
Together with us.'
 
There were a thousand mods in Liverpool
their boss was his friend Bob
they were a thousand but the Rockers more
they were stronger than the Mods
Ye ye yee
 
Fists and chains were against us
I saw someone fall as a hero
then I saw Mary far from me
I was hit in the head by the Rockers
Ye ye yee
 
The party was over and I got up
and I saw Mary die and I kissed her
I saw my friend Bob die slowly
He told me: 'Now you're a Mods, too'

ye ye yeee

I am so in love

I am so in love
what hurts me now
She will not look at me
gets no attention
 
If I ask for help of fellows
always I get the answer you ask herself
I am a great league but I don't get help
before I ask myself
 
If I said to her then
she would mind
just turn back to
what hurts me now
 
If I ask for help of fellows
always I get the answer you ask herself
I don't care but I don't get help
before I ask herself
 
So give me time
give me time
then I will see
If I get to
I've been allowed to try
when all takes time.

A year has passed

A year has passed since I started
Making plans for myself
It was so nice to be able to go my own way
But I mostly lived on water and bread
I had to show them how tough I was
Told them everything I had done
But what hurt the most
Was when the police1 came and took me
And threw me in and took me away
 
Why do we do what we've never been allowed to
Why do we say what we shouldn't say
Why can we never learn from the mistakes we make
 
A year has passed, but it's surely over now
We're in 1981
I've done everything I was never allowed to do
Said what I shouldn't have said
But I've learned from the mistakes I've made
Now I can take care of myself
I've learned how I should live this life
Now I know what I should do
 
Why do we do what we've never been allowed to
Why do we say what we shouldn't say
Why can we never learn from the mistakes we make
 
Why do we do what we've never been allowed to
Why do we say what we shouldn't say
Why can we never learn from the mistakes we make
 
Why do we do what we've never been allowed to
Why do we say what we shouldn't say
Why can we never learn from the mistakes we
Why can we never learn from the mistakes we
Why can we never learn from the mistakes we make

Come with us

Day, you've just left, I'm tired
Tired of everything you do, everything you do I've done before
Evening, it gets dark when you go home
You're forgotten, it's over for you
A time with many hidden memories
 
If you come with us you'll soon see
What we're up to
Come with us, we're playing rock n' roll
Until tonight
 
Day, you can shine like a sun
We'll never get enough of you
We see you everywhere
We wait for you to leave
Evening, I'm tired of everything you do
Let me stop having to see you
You're not who you think you are
When you go around putting on airs
 
If you come with us you'll soon see
What we're up to
Come with us, we're playing rock n' roll
Until tonight
 
Evening, we want more, but you go home
Will we never see you again
Do you have more to give
That you want us to see
 
If you come with us you'll soon see
What we're up to
Come with us, we're playing rock n' roll
Until tonight
 

Belinda

I was lying on the sofa and reading a magazine
I peeped at the TV but nothing good was on
Then the doorbell rang and I asked who it was
'This is Belinda, we're leaving from here'
 
Oh Belinda, Belinda, tell me where we're going
I can't just leave, I have to speak my mind
Oh Belinda, Belinda, tell me where we're going
I can't just leave, I can't just go
 
She said 'Hurry up and come, the clock is ticking'
I'm still not finished with what I should be doing
'I don't have time to tell you, you just have to come along
Where we're going, you'll see'
 
Oh Belinda, Belinda, tell me where we're going
I can't just leave, I have to speak my mind
Oh Belinda, Belinda, tell me where we're going
I can't just leave, I can't just go
 
We traveled some by boat, we traveled some by plane
We traveled some by car, through countries and cities
Belinda, can you tell me where it is we're going
She said 'Just don't worry, I'll tell you soon enough'
 
Oh Belinda, Belinda, tell me where we're going
I can't just leave, I have to speak my mind
Oh Belinda, Belinda, tell me where we're going
I can't just leave, I can't just go
 

Just for tonight

It was here one evening
Everything was closed
It was dark, it was cold
There was snow everywhere
I was walking alone
Among newspapers and slush
But I met a girl
I'd spoken with before
 
She said stay here tonight
Just for tonight
Because tomorrow, five o'clock
Then you'll have to go back home
 
I heard her say
'I would be happy
If you would talk a while with me
I'm alone today'
Good enough for me
I have nowhere else to be
So I can drink with you
If you want it
 
You can stay here tonight
Just for tonight
Because tomorrow, five o'clock
Then my husband will come back home
 
You can stay here tonight
Just for tonight
Because tomorrow, five o'clock
Then my husband will come back home
 
We agreed
That if her husband came
Then I'd go and hide
In an empty closet
But the night was long
And no husband came
So we sat there alone
Until the day arrived
 
You can stay here tonight
Just for tonight
Because tomorrow, five o'clock
Then you'll have to go back home
 
You can stay here tonight
Just for tonight
Because tomorrow, five o'clock
 
Then you'll have to find another friend
