You say you don't wanna run and hide A face that no-one knows And everyone ya meet, you're gonna show You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you You hold your fist up high And rule the zoo Oh, you just got to be Up high where the whole world's watching me Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody ...to cry out I wanna be somebody, Be somebody soon I wanna be somebody Be somebody too You say you don't wanna starve Or take the table crumbs that fall You don't wanna beg or plead at all You don't want no nine to five Your fingers to the bone You don't want the rock piles' bloody stones Oh, you just got to be Up high where the whole world's watching me Cos I, I got the guts to be somebody ...to cry out I wanna be somebody, Be somebody soon I wanna be somebody Be somebody too I want shiny cars and dirty money Lots of rock and roll I will live in fame and die in flames I'm never gettin' old I wanna be somebody, Be somebody soon I wanna be somebody Be somebody too I'm gonna be somebody, I'm gonna be somebody

Hes walking like a small child But watch his eyes burn you away Black holes in his golden stare God knows he wants to go home Children of the damned (repeat another 3 times) Hes walking like a dead man If he had lived he would have crucified us all Now hes standing on the last step He thought oblivion well it beckons us all Children of the damned (repeat another 3 times) Now it burns his hand hes turning to laugh Smiles as the flame sears his flesh Melting his face screaming in pain Peeling the skin from his eyes Watch him die according to plan Hes dust on the ground what did we learn Youre children of the damned Your backs against the wall You turn into the light Youre burning in the night Youre children of the damned Like candles watch them burn Burning in the light Youll burn again tonight Youre children of the damned

Out in the street somebodys crying Out in the night the fires burn Maybe tonight somebodys crying Reached the point of no return Oh - my eyes they see but I cant believe Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave Like the eagle and the dove Fly so high on wings above When all you see can only bring you sadness Like a river we will flow On towards the sea we go When all you do can only bring you sadness Out on the sea of madness Somewhere I hear a voice thats calling Out in the dark there burns a dream You got to hope when you are falling To find the world that you have seen Oh - Oh - Its madness The sun dont shine On the sea of madness There aint no wind to fill your sails Madness when all you see can only bring you sadness On towards the sea we go...

I keep to myself what I might share with others but they don't seem to understand I open my mouth to rediscover that I don't have the words at my command holding out for a world so much better but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land all my friends have sold out couldn't handle the pressure counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can Children say - children say we open our minds as one but one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be When I overhear my parents conversations well I'm struck by the things they say it seems they traded the years for mere complications who ever thought it could end this way they close the door but they can't lock it 'cause something of their childhood remains and they've felt it before when the man in their pocket counted the cost of their material gains Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Well you knew what I was saying but did you know what it meant when you saw that look in my eye did you know it was heaven sent was it all a waking dream all that time we must have spent well I guess it must have been somehow that feeling came and went Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Children say - children say we thought it would never go as one more day - slips away who ever thought we could be so lonely

Level 42 - Children say (Live at Wembley 1986)

Oh, whoa no I can't continue if you lie The heat that's flowin' thru' my veins Release your lover's cry Cos I-I just saw the devil in diguise The will is strong, the flesh is weak You see it in my eyes Call me-me the Manimal That's what-what I am Call me-me the Manimal Half beast half man Call me-me the Manimal That's what-what I am Call me-me the Manimal, Half beast half man Oh, whoa no temptation's fever's burnin' deep My hands will sweat, my lips will scream I take just what I need Cos I-I wanna run my hands on you My soul's alive, I feel the drive The sweetmeat's where I feed Call me-me the Manimal That's what-what I am Call me-me the Manimal Half beast half man Call me-me the Manimal That's what-what I am Call me-me the Manimal Half beast half man Call of the wild I'm a lunatic child I wait in the bush, I watch you and smile Dinner's at eight, I can't hardly wait I'll eat you alive, baby don't you be late

Un "must" degli anni 80. La bellissima "Happy children" di P. Lion è un brano che riscosse un enorme successo e fu ballatissimo nelle discoteche di allora.

I ride, I ride the wind to bring the rain A creature of love and I can't be tamed I want you, cause I'm gonna take your love from him When I touch your face with hot burning skin No, he'll never ever touch you like I do So look in my eyes and burn alive the truth I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I want you you tell me.you tell me the lies you're telling him when you Run away 'cause I wanna know Cause I, I'm sure it's killing him to find That you run to me when he lets you go 'Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fire So - come turn me on and turn the flames up higher I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me Cause I want what you do I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me Cause I want what you do I want you A naked heat machine, I want your love When the moons arise we'll feel just what it does at midnight I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I'm a wild child, come and love me I want you My heart's in exile I need you to touch me 'Cause I want what you do I want you
