1.2-6-5-8-0
Written:ricky & marty wilde
I watch a man sitting down the park
The flashy suit manufactured by the makers
He's got a pen and he circles an add
It makes him laugh 'cos he's reading dirty papers
2-6-5-8-0
She doesn't know but she's getting his call
He's talking straight but he wants it in a strange way
She combs her hair doesn't worry at all
He could be mad but its just another pay day
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me
She likes to live on the poor side of town
She's shacking down with a guy from west guiana
The boys around always look at the ground
Oh, what they'd give for a night with that piranha
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me
She doesn't have to make her money that way
She's such a pretty young girl
I guess they love it 'cos you hear when they stay
They cry oh, oh, oh
This guy arrives looking scared as a rat
He needs her love but he wants it like a brother
Three hours later he crawls out on his knees
She's laughing loud 'cos he's calling for his mother
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

3.Everything We Know
Written:ricky & kim wilde
Don't bring your gun 'round here
Don't need you mouthing off your fear
It touches all you can build a wall
We all have tasted tears
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go
We walked along the beach
Once lovers now we're out of reach
Windy skies, they kissed me goodbye
It takes experience to teach
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go
Nobody laughed today
I went to watch the children play
Their smiles and mine were frozen in time
I'll just remember them that way
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everything we know
Everywhere we go
4.Falling Out
Written:ricky & marty wilde
What can i say now after all is said and done
You cut me up in pieces when the shooting first begun
What did i do to you to make you turn away
'cause now there's nothing left for me
There's nothing i can say
Now it's too late you feeling sorry
You'll never change
And there's nothing you can do about it
Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah
Falling out - cutting me up into pieces
Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah
Falling out - you know that i'm so hurt baby
You said you loved me, i believed you for a while
You sure could fool the angels
When you use that painted smile
I should have known that it was too good to be true
But now that it's all over, you know i won't forget you
Now it's too late you feeling sorry
You'll never change
And there's nothing you can do about it
Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah
Falling out - cutting me up into pieces
Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah
Falling out - you know that i'm so hurt baby
So now it's over and there's nothing left to say
The flame that burned within my heart
Now slowly fades away
So don't you ever think of knocking at my door
Just turn the light out, close your eyes
And think of me no more
And it's too late to say you're sorry
You'll never change
And there's nothing you can do about it
Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah
Falling out - cutting me up into pieces
Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah
Falling out - you know that i'm so hurt baby
5.Kids In America
Written:ricky & marty wilde
Looking out a dirty old window
Down below the cars in the
City go rushing by
I sit here alone
And i wonder why
Friday night and everyone's moving
I can fell the heat
But it's shooting
Heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town
Down town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing
Chorus :
We're the kids in america (x 2)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
Bright lights the music gets faster
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance
Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind
Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory
Ch.
Come closer, honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience
Feeling right
Oh don't try to stop baby
Hold me tight
Outside a new day is dawning
Outside sububia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby
New york to east california
There's a new wave coming i warn you
Ch.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in america
6.Our Town
Written:ricky & marty wilde
This is your town, this is my place
This is where my whole world is lived in
Nothing much, and just out of reach of all the city lights
It's a high town, it's a low town
It's get here, come on you grow town
No-one does, but everyone thinks they're gonna make it soon
This is one place i respected
Now i feel it's really dejected
No-one cares and the people just stare
And a man on the box says
'hey you, don't walk away, vote for me
You'll get more pay, keep working hard'
But they work slow
Here it comes now, sunday morning
Just another sleepy town yawning
Down below everything looks just like another day
But, in the warm glow of the sunrise
There's a child who's searching with young eyes
Looking 'round and feeling inside he's gonna fly away
There was one time i was leaving
But the folks around me kept grieving
Friends said go, but my dad said no
And my mum kept saying
'don't go, don't go away
Don't leave us, you've got to stay
Just raise them kids, oh mother no'
No prospects, just projects
Don't try to tell me we're living
There's no real need to try
Can't you see this town gonna die
Hail the new age, it's a rat cage
Join the place for breeding dumb spieces
All stacked up and doing whatever someone tells you to
Burn the place down, make it dead ground
Show the people just what they're missing
Wake up, wake up, can't you believe in what i'm telling you
There's a house where i was born in
Now it's changed without any warning
Cranes just crash and bricks just smash
While a billboard's saying
'let's go, let's get away
Come fly me, you've weeks to pay
When sunshine calls, but i won't go
This is our town
7.Tuning In Tuning On
Written:ricky & marty wilde
Cruising 'round there's a sound with a place to go
Tuning in tuning on like a radio
Fell the sound in your head and you set the seal
I believe it's a force of the life you feel - tuning on
Do you know what the sounds that you hear will find
Reach to space to the stars and another time
I believe that they search like a seed to grow
In the end it's the same anyway you go
I really can't explain
I really can't explain
Crashing out for the last and the final time
Could a sound and a soul travel on combined
From the womb to the end is it everywhere
Feel the beat of my heart and you know it's there
I really can't explain
Spoken
I really believe that sound reaches infinity, do you know what i
mean. i think it goes on and on forever, and if that's true and
it was linked to the spiritual side of your lives, well, then
sou
Ould be alive. can you imagine the possibilities for the future
? linking the soul and the sound and then being able to make a
giant spiritual musical machine, actually a part of us and not
just
Thing you hear - it's fantastic - it's just fantastic
I really can't explain
8.Water On Glass
Written:ricky & marty wilde
Cascading down
There's a sound vaporising into vision
It's a sound in my head
That i feel and it shuts me in a prison
Say it won't last
Say it will pass
Always the sound in my brain
Can you hear it
Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
Dancing away
Like the lights on a moving coloured river
Sounds in my head seem to run
And again i feel a shiver
Say it won't last
Pray it will pass
Always that sound in my brain
Can you hear it (can you hear it)
Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down
9.You'll Never Be So Wrong
Written:ricky & marty wilde
Just two lovers in a seedy cafe
Someone's leaving, the waiter says 'hey, won't you wait'
Running nowhere, she hides in her room
What he told her had to get out and soon
It's just a bad affair you've had
No need to cry, don't take it bad
You'll soon be glad when you're far apart
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'cause i'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again
Now she's breaking but what can she do
Somewhere out there a car disappears out of view
Fumbles somewhere for stale cigarettes
Looks for numbers, the ones she could dial but forgets
No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
You've go to realise you''re free
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'cause i'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again
No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
You've go to realise you're free
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'cause i'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again
10.Young Heroes
Written:ricky & marty wilde
Everyone round keeps putting us down, let it go
It's the same old play in a grown up day
It's a stinging sensation
Hanging round on every corner
Where, all the young kids i know want to be
We only wanna stay young, we only wanna be free
He doesn't wanna be you, she doesn't wanna be me
We're all young heroes
We're all young heroes
Shouted down pushed and we're gettin' real bushed
Just have your say and we'll do it your way
If it makes you fell better
Nothing much to add to what i say
'cause i know just how it fells to be
We only wanna stay young, we only wanna be free
He doesn't wanna be you, she doesn't wanna be me
We're all young heroes
We're all young heroes
We only wanna be free
