Soft Cell: Say Hello Wave Goodbye
Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so so love
And I'm going to make sure it never
Happens again
You and I
It had to be
The standing joke of the year
You were a sleep around
A lost and found
And not for me I fear
I tried to make it work
You in a cocktail skirt
And me in a suit
(Well it just wasn't me)
You're used to wearing less
And now you're life's a mess
So insecure you see
I put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene
That's going to be played my way
Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello Goodbye
Say hello wave goodbye
Under the deep red light
I can see the makeup sliding down
Hey little girl you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
What about me - well
I'll find someone
That's not going cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life
And won't keep going off the rails
Take your hands off me
I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face
For the last time
I never knew you
You never knew me
Say hello Goodbye
Just looking at the soft cell video ( live in Milan) make me think how much I like them ;-) I think the only Gay-band who makes rather intresting music. usally they are listening often to some dull music like Kyle Minogue stuff...
(ever thought, Kyle have something special, I do not like her kind of music!) Love Me for What I Am I met a man in the can Wouldn�t you say he was going my way We talked till 4 he talked more I was afraid he�d turn and say Love me for what I am Not what I try to be Love me for what I am Someone imperfectly me The lights were low don�t you know He gave a phony dorm address Then after weeks guess who speaks Darling he says and I said yes Love me for what I am Not what I try to be Love me for what I am A person who likes to lie too much I try too much to impress other people Often my inferiors Would you like a girl like that Could you like a girl like that Would you hold her in your arms Would you like a girl like that Would you like a girl like that We lay in bed he plays dead I play an ancient 45 (Tainted Love) He turns it low talks so slow Darling he says we might survive Love me for what I am Not what I try to be Love me for what I am Someone imperfectly Soft Cell: My Secret Life In your little black book You've got the names And the favourite persuasions Of the people in the headlines I'm in there under A And I'm rated under B You've got the photographs to prove it And I swear to God it's not me You've got a hard heart Being hard is your art You think love is a dirty dirty word You pick up the phone And you ring when I'm at home Then you put it down And I'm reaching for my valium My secret life Living life On a knife edge of life Tell my wife And she's just had a breakdown And I I'm not rich But I'm top in my pitch And you'll ruin the lot Finish everything I've got I'll give you anything Anything to shut you up Why do you hate me so much What have I ever Done to you But leave you I don't want to play Cat and Mouse Have the neighbors Looking over at my house All the secret smiles When I walk in the room And I think I'm going to Crack up soon I'm going to run away Find a place in the dark Where I don't have to hear The nasty nasty talk Change my sex Change my hair Be hard to find anywhere My secret life Living life On a knife edge of life Tell my wife And she's just had a breakdown And I I'm not rich But I'm top in my pitch And you'll ruin the lot Finish everything I've got
