1. No action.
I don't wanna kiss you, I don't wanna touch, I don't wanna see you 'cause I don't miss you that much. I'm not a telephone junkie, I told you that we were just good friends, but when I hold you like I hold that bakelite in my hands. There's no action, there's no action, there's no action. Every time I phone you, I just wanna put you down.
He's got the keys to the car, they are the keys to the kingdom. He's got everything you need, it's a shame that he didn't bring them. I'm not a telephone junkie, if I'm inserting my coin I'm doing just fine, and the things in my head start hurting my mind. And I think about the way things used to be, knowing you with him is driving me crazy, sometimes I phone you when I know you're not lonely, but I always disconnect it in time. There's no action, there's no action, there's no action. Every time I phone you, I just wanna put you, every time I phone you, I just wanna put you, every time I phone you, I just wanna put you down.
There's no action, there's no action, there's no action, every time I phone you, I just wanna put you down.
2. This year's girl.
See her picture in a thousand places 'cause she's this year's girl, you think you all own little pieces of this year's girl. Forget your fancy manners, forget your English grammar, 'cause you don't really give a damn about this year's girl.
Still you're hoping that she's well spoken 'cause she's this year's girl, you want her broken with her mouth wide open 'cause she's this year's girl. Never knowing it's a real attraction, all these promises of satisfaction, while she's being bored to distraction being this year's girl.
Time's running out, she's not happy with the cost, there'd be no doubt, only she's forgotten, much more than she's lost.
A bright spark might corner the market in this year's girl, you see yourself rolling on the carpet with this year's girl. Those disco synthesizers, those daily tranquilizers, those body building prizes, those bedroom alibis, all this, but no surprises for this year's girl. All this, but no surprises for this year's girl. All this, but no surprises for this year's girl.
3. The beat.
We're all going on a summer holiday, Vigilante's coming out to follow me. Heard somebody say they're out to collar me, anybody wanna swallow me? It takes two to tumble, it takes two to tango, speak up; don't mumble if you're in the combo.
On the beat, on the beat, till a man comes along and he says, 'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ’. See your friends in the state their in, see your friends getting under their skin, see your friends getting taken in.
Well, if you only knew the things you do to me, I'd do anything to confuse the enemy. There's only one thing wrong with you befriending me, take it easy. I think you're bending me. I've been a bad boy with the standard leader, my neighbor's revving up his Vauxhall Viva.
On the beat, on the upbeat, till a man comes along and he says, 'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ’. See your friends walking down the street, see your friends never quite complete, see your friends getting under their feet.
Oh, I don't want to disease you, but I'm no good with machinery. Oh, I don't wanna freeze you, stop looking at the scenery. I keep thinking about your mother, oh, I don't wanna lick them, I don't wanna be a lover, I just wanna be your victim. I don't go out much at night, I don't go out much at all, did you think you were the only one who was waiting for a call.
On the beat, on the upbeat, till a man comes along and he says, 'Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ’. See your friends treat me like a stranger, see your friends despite all the arrangements, see your friends nothing here has changed, just the beat.
4. Pump it up.
I've been on tenterhooks ending in dirty looks, listening to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that, she said that's that, I don't wanna chitter-chat. Turn it down a little bit, or turn it down flat. Pump it up when you don't really need it, pump it up until you can feel it.
Down in the pleasure centre, hell bent or heaven sent, listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander, there's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand. Pump it up until you can feel it, pump it up when you don't really need it.
She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical, though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic. You wanna torture her, you wanna talk to her, all the things you bought for her, putting up your temp'rature. Pump it up until you can feel it, pump it up when you don't really need it.
Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin, you put your passion out under the pressure pin, fall into submission, hit-and-run transmission, no use wishing now for any other sin. Pump it up until you can feel it, pump it up when you don't really need it. Pump it up until you can feel it, pump it up when you don't really need it.
5. Little triggers.
Little triggers that you pull with your tongue, little triggers, I don't wanna be hung up, strung up, when you don't call up. Little sniggers on your lips, little triggers in your grip, little triggers, my hand on your hip.
Thinkin' all about those censored sequences, worryin' about the consequences, waiting until I come to my senses, better put it all in present tenses.
Little triggers that you pull with your tongue, little triggers, I don't wanna be hung up, strung up, when you don't call up. Little sniggers on your lips, little triggers in your grip, little triggers, my hand on your hip.
Worryin' about the common decency, when it is only a question of frequency, when you say O.K. but I gotta cheek to be sayin' you're tired of me when you don't even weaken these.
Little triggers that you pull with your tongue, little triggers, I don't wanna be hung up, strung up, when you don't call up. Little sniggers on your lips, little triggers in your grip, little triggers, my hand on your hip.
6. You belong to me.
What are you girls gonna tell your mother? I don't want to hear another word about young lovers, or hiding your boyfriend in the cupboard. She's been to see the doctor, so you hope that she recovers. You act dumb, you say you're so numb, you say you don't come under his thumb.
Don't wanna be a goody-goody, I don't want just anybody, no, I don't want anybody saying 'You belong to me, you belong to me’.
Your eyes are absent, your mouth is silent, pumping like a fire hydrant. Things you see are getting hard to swallow, you're easily led, but you're much too scared to follow. You've been warned, you're going to get torn, no uniform is gonna keep you warm.
Don't wanna be a goody-goody, I don't want just anybody, no, I don't want anybody saying 'You belong to me, you belong to me’. 'You belong to me, you belong to me’…
7. Hand in hand.
No, don't ask me to apologise, I won't ask you to forgive me, if I'm gonna go down,
you're gonna come with me. You say 'why don't you be a man about it, like they do in the grown-up movies?' But when it comes to the other way around, you say you just wanna use me. Oh, you sit and you wonder whether it's gonna be syndicated, you sit with your knees together, all the time your breath is baited.
Hand in hand, no, don't ask me to apologise, I won't ask you to forgive me, if I'm gonna go down, you're gonna come with me. Don't you know I got the bully boys out changing someone's facial design, sitting with my toy room lout, polishing my precious china. Don't you know I'm an animal? But don't you know I can't stand up steady? But you can't show me any kind of hell that I don't know already.
Hand in hand, no, don't ask me to apologise, I won't ask you to forgive me, if I'm gonna go down, you're gonna come with me. Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand...
8. (I don't want to go to) Chelsea.
Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six, he thinks of all the lips that he licks, and all the girls that he's going to fix. She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle, but there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle, capital punishment, she's last year's model, they call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie. I don't want to go to Chelsea, oh no, it does not move me, even though I've seen the movie, I don't want to check your pulse, I don't want nobody else, I don't want to go to Chelsea.
Everybody's got new orders, be a nice girl and kiss the warders, now the teacher is away all the kids begin to play. Men come screaming, dressed in white coats, shake you very gently by the throat. One's named Gus, one's named Alfie. I don't want to go to Chelsea, oh no it does not move me, even though I've seen the movie, I don't want to check your pulse, I don't want nobody else, I don't want to go to Chelsea.

9. Lip service.
You left the motor running, but I know you're so attractive, getting in some sharp practice, you better not do anything reckless. But everybody is going through the motions, everybody is going through the motions, are you really only going through the motions? Lip service is all you'll ever get from me, lip service is all you'll ever get from me, lip service is all you'll ever get from me, but if you change your mind you can send it a letter to me.
Don't make any sudden movements, these are dangerous amusements, when did you become so choosy? Don't act like you're above me; just look at your shoes. But everybody is going through the motions, everybody is going through the motions, are you really only going through the motions? Lip service is all you'll ever get from me, lip service is all you'll ever get from me, lip service is all you'll ever get from me, but if you change your mind you can send it a letter to me.
But if you change your mind you can send it a letter to me, but if you change your mind you can send it a letter to me, but if you change your mind you can send a little letter to me.
10. Living in paradise.
I don't like those other guys looking at your curves, I don't like you walking round with physical jerks, everything they say and do is getting on my nerves, soon they will be lucky to be picking up the perks. 'Cause when they pull the shutters down and throw up in the dark, they'll find that all the dogs outside bite much worse than they bark.
Here we are living in paradise, living in luxury, oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long, you better have your fun before it moves along, and you're already looking for another fool like me.
I call you Betty Felon 'cause you are a pretty villain, and I think that I should tell them that you'd make a pretty killing, 'cause meanwhile up in heaven they are waiting at the gate, saying 'We'd always knew you'd make it, didn't think you'd come this late'. And now it's much too dangerous to stop what you've begun, when everyone in paradise carries a gun.
Here we are living in paradise, living in luxury, oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long, you better have your fun before it moves along, and you're already looking for another fool like me.
Later in the evening when arrangements are made, I'll be at the keyhole outside your bedroom door. 'Cause I'm the first to know whenever the plans are laid, that never go further than floor to floor. You think that I don't know the boy that you're touching, but I'll be at the video and I will be watching.
Here we are living in paradise, living in luxury, oh, the thrill is here but it won't last long, you better have your fun before it moves along, and you're already looking for another fool like me…
11. Lipstick Vogue.
Don't say you love me when it's just a rumour, don't say a word if there is any doubt, sometimes I think that love is just a tumour, you've got to cut it out. You say you're sorry for the things that you've done, you say you're sorry but you know you don't mean it, I wouldn't worry, I had so much fun, sometimes I almost feel just like a human being. It's you, not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue, it's you, not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue, oh yeah.
Get to the slot machine almost dead on arrival, just hit me one more time with that live wire, maybe they told you you were only a girl in a million, you say I've got not feelings, this is a good way to kill them.
Select the control and then insert the token, you wanna throw me away but I'm not broken, you've got a lot to say, well I'm not joking. There are some words they don't allow to be spoken, sometimes I almost feel just like a human being. It's you, not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue, it's you, not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue, oh yeah…
12. Night rally.
I would send out for assistance but there's someone on the signal wire, and the corporation logo is flashing on and off in the sky, they're putting all your names in the forbidden book, I know what they're doing but I don't want to look. You think they're so dumb, you think they're so funny, wait until they've got you running to the night rally, night rally, night rally.
Everybody's singing with their hand on their heart, about deeds done in the darkest hours, that's just the sort of catchy little melody to get you singing in the showers.
Oh, I know that I'm ungrateful, I've got it lying on a plate, and I'm not buying my share of souvenirs. You can stand to attention, you can pray to your uncle, only get that chicken out of here. Everyone gets armbands and 3-D glasses, some are in the back room, and they're taking those night classes. You think they're so dumb, you think they're so funny, wait until they've got you running to the night rally, night rally, night rally…
