Put on your silk stockings Your black high heeled shoes Put on your slinky underwear And your most outrageous jewels Tease your hair up into those sexy curls You’ll knock dead all the boys Be the envy of the girls Let’s go out dancing tonight Let’s go out dancing tonight Let’s go out dancing tonight Put on your black dress honey The one with the low cut back Paint up your nails honey You’ll give ‘em all heart attack Put red lipstick on your gorgeous lips Move your body close to mine And shake your sexy hips Let’s go out dancing tonight Let’s go out dancing tonight Let’s go out dancing tonight Oh don’t you know how good this feels With you on my arm and my heart doing cartwheels With you by my side everything is alright So c’mon honey and let’s go out dancing tonight Get dressed up honey And we’ll paint the town I want to be by your side When those heads turn around ‘Cos there ain’t nothing like you When you’re dressed to kill There’s no greater pleasure There’s no bigger thrill Let’s go out dancing tonight Let’s go out dancing tonight Let’s go out dancing tonight Let’s go out dancing tonight Let’s go out dancing tonight Let’s go out dancing tonight

When you're searching for answers To questions that you haven't asked When your whole world is like a minefield And you're just waiting for the blast Hold on tight Hold on tight When you're reeling from the punches And there's no way you can hit back When the signposts you're following All end in a cul-de-sac Hold on tight Hold on tight There's no port in the storm Nowhere safe and warm Nothing to hold on To help you through So when you feel like you're on the wrong side When all of the lines have been drawn Just reach out take these open hands And we'll help you carry on Hold on tight Hold on tight Hold on tight Hold on tight

It’s six a.m. and there’s a car alarm Blasting out it’s two tone wail There’s an artic truck revving up And a postman delivering the mail Outside there’s a city waking up To another steel grey day I’m lying here in the warmth of my bed Wishing they just go away I wanna be with you I wanna be with you I wanna be with you The whole day through There’s a line of cars steaming up Stood at a red light stop Everyone’s fidgeting impatiently Everyone’s watching the clock You’re ten miles away just waking up Switching off your ringing alarm I’m sat here like a zombie in this traffic queue With the diesel fumes doing my lungs harm I wanna be with you I wanna be with you I wanna be with you The whole day through I think about you all day long Can’t wait ‘til it’s time to go home Thinking about all the fun we’re gonna have When we’re finally alone Oh God I don’t wanna do the things I do That keep me away from you I just want to spend every day Alone with you I wanna be with you I wanna be with you I wanna be with you The whole day through I wanna be with you I wanna be with you I wanna be with you The whole day through

Only For You 04:33
You make my love do pirouettes You make my love do those fancy steps I feel my heart go pounding to the beat I watch as my hopes go skipping down the street After you After you You make my love tear down walls You make my love conquer it all In this tower of fear where my hopes lie I watch it all disappear into the sky After you After you I don’t know what it is but I don’t want it to stop I want to put in a bottle and seal down the top Hide it from the world with a label on the front That says for you, only for you You make my love dazzle and shine You make my love ignore danger signs There’s nothing gonna stop me when I feel this way No cloud in the heavens gonna spoil my day After you After you It’s like no sensation I’ve ever felt before If this is way love feels you gotta give me more I want to shout it to the world as loud as I can I’m glad I’m alive and I’m glad I’m a man For you You make my love do pirouettes You make my love do those fancy steps I feel my heart go pounding to the beat I watch as my hopes go skipping down the street After you After you I don’t know what it is but I don’t want it to stop I want to put in a bottle and seal down the top Hide it from the world with a label on the front That says for you, only for you

Gravity Wins 04:57
I believed the dream they offered me No price to pay it all comes free But I got all my wires crossed And everything that I valued just got lost ‘Cos gravity wins in the end It brings you down to present tense Gravity wins every time And pulls you from every mountain you climb There’s no flicked switch just slow decay When you’re watching your dreams slip away The lessons learnt can’t hide the fact That one by one they’ve all slipped through the cracks ‘Cos gravity wins in the end It brings you down to present tense Gravity wins every time And pulls you from every mountain you climb Tell yourself you can float on air That nothing matters and you don’t care You can walk on water and you won’t sink The truth is you’re not as clever as you think I used to be young like you I used to dream the dreams you do But that was then and this is now And those dreams don’t seem as important somehow ‘Cos gravity wins in the end It brings you down to present tense Gravity wins every time And pulls you from every mountain you climb Gravity wins in the end Gravity wins every time

Spread your wings and fly away Leave me with this dark and empty night Let it go and don’t look back Go into the light, the blinding light When you dance, dance with the angels When you dance, dance with the angels Think of me, think of me ‘Cos I’ll be thinking of you Take my love on your journey And I’ll be with you, with you all the way Here in my heart, here in my soul Keep it with you ‘til the end of days When you dance, dance with the angels When you dance, dance with the angels Think of me, think of me ‘Cos I’ll be thinking of you Smile when you think of me And I’ll smile when I think of you Smile when you think of me And I’ll smile when I think of you No regrets darling When you dance, dance with the angels When you dance, dance with the angels Think of me, think of me ‘Cos I’ll be thinking of you When you dance, dance with the angels I’ll be thinking of you
