1. ELECTRICITY (Tennant/Lowe)
(What does it mean?)
(What are you doing in San Francisco?)
(Get out of here and take this case with you)
(What does it mean?)
(What are you doing in San Francisco?)
I'm an artist, honey, you'll see me sometimes
Making crazy pictures out of music and rhymes
Costume changes performed with poise
Dancing in formation with a couple of boys
I take them on the road with my reel-to-reels
I'm an artist, honey, you know how that feels?
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
(What does it mean?)
It's all about wonder, the power to be
Like thunder expressing electricity
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
(What does it mean?)...
Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
Call it performance, call it art
I call it disaster if the tapes don't start
I've put all my life into live lip-sync
I'm an artist, honey, you gonna get me a drink?
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
It's all about wonder, the power to be
Like thunder expressing electricity
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
(What does it mean?)
Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes
It's the greatest show with the best effects
Since Disco-Tex and the Sexelettes

2. SE A VIDA E (Tennant/Lowe)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come outside and see a brand new day
The troubles in your mind will blow away
It's easy to believe they're here to stay
But you won't find them standing in your way
Se a vida e‚, I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e‚, I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come on, essa vida e‚
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Although we see the world through different eyes
We share the same idea of paradise
So don't search in the starts for signs of love
Look around your life, you'll find enough
Se a vida e‚, I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e‚, I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come on, essa vida e‚
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Why do you want to sit alone in gothic gloom
Surrounded by the ghosts of love that haunt your room?
Somewhere there's a different door to open wide
You gotta throw those skeletons out of your closet and come outside
So you will see a brand new day
The troubles in your mind will blow away
It's easy to believe they're here to stay
But you won't find them standing in your way
Se a vida e‚, I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e‚, I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Come on, essa vida e‚
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Come on, essa vida e‚
That's the way life is
That's the way life is
Se a vida e‚, I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Come outside and feel the morning sun (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e‚, I love you (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Life is much more simple when you're young (Aah-aah-aah-aah)
Se a vida e‚

3. UP AGAINST IT (Tennant/Lowe)
News in this city
Breaks without pity
Long after the war has ended
We're still in fatigues
Up against it
The higher you fly, the further you fall
Up against it
Wondering why we fought after all
Such a cold winter
With scenes as slow as Pinter
Synchronize your watches
There's still time to kill
Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
Drinking this swill to sweeten the pill
Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
The more that it hurts, the less that it works
Wrapped in nostalgia to queue for a show
Back to Trafalgar, one kiss, then I'll go
So deep in quicklime
The bones of an old crime
I knew a man who raked them over
He's still suffering
Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
Buried so deep it gives me the creeps
Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
The longer you hate, the more that it grates
Up against it (Come up against it, ooh)
Look left, then right, so run for your life
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooh ooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Ooh ooooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh) (Oooooh)
(Come up against it now)
(Really come up against it, ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Up against it
The more that it hurts, the less that it works
(Oooh - oooh - oooh - oooh - oooh ...)

4. THE SURVIVORS (Tennant/Lowe)
(Aaah - Aaah)
Cross a windy bridge one winter night
Past Embankment Gardens enter warmth and light
Face the music (It's never easy)
Forget the chill
Face the future (It's never easy)
Find the will
If life is worth living, it's got to be done
One might be forgiven for thinking it's a life on the run
Many roads will cross through many lives
But somehow you survive
(Oooh, aaah)
Look around, picture what's in store
Is this the final edit, or is the subject now a bore?
Don't shrug your shoulders (It's always easy)
You can't ignore
That life is worth living, it's still worth a damn
One might be forgiven for thinking it's something of a sham
Many words may make it sound contrived
But somehow we're alive
The survivors - Our heads bowed
The survivors - At memorials for other faces in the crowd
Teachers and artists (It's never easy)
And Saturday girls
In suits or sequins (It's never easy)
Or twinsets-and-pearls
If life is worth living, (If life is worth living)
It's got to be run (It's got to be run)
As a means of giving, (As a means of giving)
Not as a race (race) to be won (not to be won)
Many roads will run through many lives
But somehow we'll arrive
(Oooh, aaah, aaah)
Many roads will run through many lives
But somewhere we'll survive

5. TO STEP ASIDE (Tennant/Lowe)
By the cathedral into the sun
Pilgrims are singing, their journey done
I look at my short life and think
Of all the champagne that I drink
With all the faces that I know
And how much further can one go?
And if I decide to step aside
I will try to reply to the feelings I hide
I look from my window down to the square
At workers still queueing patiently there
For market forces to provide
What history's so far denied
For a different kind of fate
Than to labour long and always wait
And if I decide to step aside
I will try to return to the person inside
Will I always need you? Would you want me to?
Can you love me for good the way you thought you could?
Or will spring bring rain and summer burn?
Will tears at last precede the turn
From summer warmth to sudden cold
As certainly as growing old?
And if I decide to step aside
I will try to forget all the tears I'll have cried
