Source : Fan Club + listening (Eg, info from fan club not ok.) Artist : Kim Wilde Album : Select Year : 1982 Ego --- All the time I try to reason with you. But I just can't seem to make you understand. Nothing seems to ever really get through. Can't you feel emotions like any other man. A. You never cared for anyone (anyone). You never cared for anyone (at all). Any love that you've ever given me, you only gave me for your ego. [End of A.] Look at how you wanted all of my tears any time you felt you needed security. All the nights you left me out of my own. That's the thing you just can't give back to me. [Repeat A.] Your only plan it seems is look after number one. You just can't comprehend what it means to love someone. Stay away! Get lost! Get out of my life! Can't you see the changes now and at last I'm free. Any plans I have just don't include you. And that's the one thing you won't take from me. [Repeat A.] Every time I tried to reason with you, but it seemed that I never made you understand. Nothing ever seemed to ever really get through. Can't you feel emotions like any other man. [Repeat A 2 times.] Words Fell Down --------------- I wake up in the morning, looking for reaction. Then I see your faces, only for a fraction. Did you hurt my feelings? You just nailed me to the wall. Never say you're sorry, never show emotion Never show a good hand, never give a notion Don't you feel it's obscene? Do you feel a thing at all? A. 'Cos you come right back with the same old story. Words fell down! Words fell down! You walk right back to the sound of glory. Words fell down! Words fell down! Oh, oh, oh, It's so helpless. Oh, oh, oh, It's so helpless, it's so helpless. [End of A.] Always a deceiver, never any answers. Living in the shadows, taking any chances. When you get a good line, come and talk in to my face. [Repeat A.] [Deep dark voice] ? [Probably the first line in lyrics for this song.] Then I see your faces, only for a fraction. Did you hurt my feelings? You just nailed me to the wall. [Kim] You fight right back with the same reaction. Words fell down! Words fell down! The same old show with the same old caption. Words fell down! Words fell down! It's so helpless. It's so helpless, it's so helpless. Action City ----------- Suddenly there's a shadow on a nation. Suddenly it's a changing situation. Fear is on the face of every tiger as the jungle grows. Suddenly people running never walking. Nobody wants to know, nobody's talking, but rushing through the air. I Feel the wind of change about to blow. A. Watch out tonight, the dogs are down in action city. They're out tonight, there's trouble down in action city. [End A.] Watching the police running from the station. Suddenly flashing lights and confrontation. The devil walks the streets just as the flames of hell begin to grow. [Repeat A.] It's a brave new world, it's a brave new world. Such a brave new world. Well I don't know where it's going But it's heading for some changes I know. People are wondering why there's such confusion. There is face of youth with disillusion. Don't look for the reasons, they were sprayed on every wall I know. [Repeat A.] [Already sung lyrics] [Fade to die.] View From A Bridge ------------------ A. View from a bridge, can't take anymore. View from a bridge, can't take anymore. [End of A.] I guess it all began a year ago, like a cheap love magazine. You know the kind you read about, and had to laugh at the pages in between. Now I can't believe that? fool inside me, cos' I just can't face the world I've grown to see. [Repeat A.] I saw you kissing her. I saw you making her. In the soft sheets in between. But when you turned around I saw your eyes were fire, and you crashed out all my dreams. And like a fool I just stood there and let it go. I should have fought right back and let my feelings show. [Repeat A.] You sure as hell know how to make a fool of me. Well you cut me down for the things you want, and now it's killing me. [Deep dark voice] I'll lay it on the line now. You're running out of time now. [Kim] But then a voice said jump and I just let go and I'm floating out in space. But then I feel your arms and I turn around to a ghost without a face. And I just don't know what's fact or fantasy, 'coz when I look below the bridge I see it's me. [Repeat A several times.] [Fade to die.] Just A Feeling -------------- Stand at the mirror and look at my face. See alll the changes I know somethings wrong. But when I think back to the love that we had, I look for escape 'cos I know it's gone. I always looked on the touch of our love as a soft stream running over me. But I always knew there would be a way out but for you, not for me. Just a feeling Now all I see is the trace of a smile, memories forgotten a long time ago. Never believed I could see you this way, I don't know what changed you, I'll just never know. I used to dream there was someone around, who was there just to watch over me. Out in the crowds there was someone around who was meant just for me. Friends say "impossible" but I say it's got to be... Just a feeling [Already sung lyrics.] [Fade to die.] Chaos At The Airport -------------------- I was driving out to meet you that night, getting reports on the weather. You were coming home, had caught the last flight, but we would soon be together. You'd been gone such a long time, when my radio gave the warning. A. Chaos at the airport tonight, somthing ain't right. No-one can land in the weather. Planes are crashing out of control. And all in all I think you've lost him forever. [End of A.] Looking up I started searching the skies. Was he still up there above me. Was the man who'd waved a million goodbyes now just a stranger who loved me. But as I drove to the terminal sign I heard a great loud explosion. [Repeat A.] I ran so, so fast but if I could only reach you. But you're so far away, you're oh so far away. Landing lights approaching, out from a sea of darkness. But you're so far away, you're oh so far away. Like a bird of death it hovered around until the wheel started turning. Then I saw the jets just touching the ground and I could see it recurring. And as I looked for the last time my radio gave me the warning. [Repeat A.] Take Me Tonight --------------- Lost in the dark the lovers embrace as the last song plays, everyone makes for home. Now it's just me and you alone. And I won't really care if we can't meet again. You just live your life I'm just a night to pass. You're just a dream that couldn't last. A. R. Take me tonight (3) I want you, I want you - want me too? [End of A.] No way of knowing just where my life's going. Who cares if it's wrong or it's right, when all I beleive in is just how I'm feeling tonight. [Singing - talking] Take me! Take me! Take me. R. Take me tonight. (*) Can You Come Over ----------------- A. Darlin', can you come over? Can you come over? - Meet me tonight. [End of A.] I've been sitting here alone. Looking down this telephone. Thinking things I'd really love to say to you. Oh, it's true. I can't get enough of how you love and that's the truith i swear to you. Can you come over? Can you come over? - Think of what we could do. If you decide to, if you're alive to. What I want from a guy like you. [Repeat A.] Watching movies on TV, never does a thing to me. I get bored just living here and hanging 'round. Toss a coin it's heads or tails. If I run a bath or do my nails. What's it really matter when I'm far away from you. If you come over, if you come over - I could be good for you. Woudn't you please me, it could be easy. Just stay here for a night or two. [Repeat A.] I'm the girl who waits for you. I'm the girl who need you too. I'm the girl who wants you tonight. Open? [Repeat A.] Darlin', can you come over? Can you come over? - Get you tonight. Wendy Sadd ---------- Lost in the night, out on the streets and blown into the wind. She was just heading for trouble when they got her downstairs. Cut by the lights, strands of her hair just tumble from her cheeks. She's just another caucasion in a crime worn day. A. Inside her heart was breaking. No-one knew what she'd been trough. Inside her mind's escaping. To a world that no-one knew. [End of A.] Lost in the night, sombody said go easy on the girl. You'll never get a confession if you treat her that way. Two pairs of eyes shout at her face, and late into the night. They heard a softer whisper saying "Let me go". [Repeat A.] B. Wendy Sadd has flown away. Wendy found her freedom. No-one else could follow there, not inside the world of Wendy Sadd. [End of B.] Somebody shouts, something is wrong and panick hits the room. They said she looked at the ceiling and the lights went out. Clutched in her hand, all they could find was a letter that she'd wrote. It said try and forgive them for what they've done. [Repeat A.] [Repeat B two times repeating "Wendy Sadd" at the end.] Cambodia -------- Well he was in Thailand based. She was an airforce wife. He used to fly weekends, it was the easy life. But then it turned around, and he began to change. She didn't wonder then, she didn't think it strange. But then he got a call, he had to leave that night. He couln't say too much, but it would be alright. He didn't need to pack, they'd meet the next night. He had a job to do, flying to Cambodia. And as the nights passed by, she tried to trace the past. The way he used to look, the way he used to laugh. I guess she'll never know, what got inside his soul. She couldn't make it out, just couldn't take it all. He had the saddest eyes the girl had ever seen. He used to cry some nights, as though he lived a dream. And as she held him close, he used to search her face. As though she knew the truth, lost inside Cambodia. But then a call came through, they said he'd soon be home. She had to pack a case and they would make a rendez-vous. But now the year has passed and not a single word and all the love she knew has disappeared out in the haze. [Singing low] Cambodia - Don't cry now - No tears now. And now the years have passed without a single word. But there is only one thing left I know for sure, She won't see his face again.
