"Alien Afternoon" lyrics
"Alien Afternoon"
Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed
Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead
Read the daily paper have to know the truth
Slammed the door as I ran outside, looked at my watch and cried
Gotta get to work on time
Gotta get to work on time
Then the sky turned a deeper blue
Not a cloud as the sun shone through
But all around rain kept falling to the ground
The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon
Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance
Before I start believing in what I see or hear
Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere
Gotta get out pack my bags before I go insane
Gotta get away in time
Gotta get away in time
Then the sky turned from blue to green
Took on colours I have never seen
Then a sound started ringing in my ears
I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there
Just another alien afternoon
Just another alien afternoon
To be there back where I belong
To feel again the wind upon my face
To see again all that I took for granted
All that I left and everything I knew
We are home
We are your home
We are all your home
Not another alien afternoon
Never more to go wandering
Never leaving my world behind
There was never a reason
To leave my heart and my home behind
Where I was born is where I should be now
I would never be lonely
I would never be sad again
I wanted to go anywhere
I wanted to see how strange it all could be
Nothing would ever take me away again
Never more to go wandering
Never leaving my world behind
No, no, no, no
Nothing will ever take me away again, away again
No, no, no, no

Paul Young - "Come Back And Stay" Since you've been gone
I shut my eyes
And I fantasize
That you're here with me
Will you ever return?
I won't be you satisfied
Till you're by my side
Don't wait any longer...
Why don't you come...
Sting - "Englishman In New York" I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane...
Steely Dan - "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" We hear you're leaving, that's OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart Rikki don't lose that number...
The Cars - "Bye Bye Love" I can't feel this way much longer expecting to survive
With all these hidden innuendos just waiting to arrive
It's such a wavy midnight and you slip into insane
Electric angel rock and roller, I hear...
ZZ Top - "Legs" She got legs
She knows how to use them
She never begs
She knows how to choose them
She holding leg
Wonder how to feel them
Would you get behind them
If you could only find them?
She's my baby
She's...
