It's My Life
Album - 1984 - Debaser id 11573

Another sign with no regret
More coins inside her hand
One more time to own respect
No mercenary she stands
I'm no boy stealing pennies from the poor
Break it down
Can't you see she's the dum-dum girl

Another hand upon her hair
Time probably erased distaste
And so she's left outside of guilt
Break it down
Can't you see she's the dum-dum girl

Such a shame to believe in escape
'A life on every face'
And that's a change
Till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame

The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, 'I don't care'
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame

Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

Such a shame
Number me with rage
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
It's a shame
Such a shame
Write it across my name
It's a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change

Such a shame

Well baby how the weeks fade
Baby was the best part of your youth a sensation
Yeah,
that's a change
I never thought I'd end up fooling you

D'you hear what they say?
All these people living up in our street,
well they say
"Out of touch,
she lives in faded dreams"

Renée
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change

And maybe when the cheat plays
Maybe when the ace
falls from his suit
And he tells you
"Yeah that's the game.
I didn't want to lose it on the two"
You're playing his way,
but the prize that you've been
losing was youth
And I say
"Throw the ace,
and face up to the truth"

Renée
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change
Renée
But baby as the weeks fade

Renée
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change

Renée
But baby as the weeks fade,
and we've seen quite a few,
I don't know who's fooling who

I'm fooling you

Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose,
I'd tell myself what good do you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends

Don't look back until you've tried
A line so openly a lie
'Outside of you, it's just tomorrow starting'

I've said I'm wrong when I've been right
I've seen times when I've been sure but still I find
I'm just the first that you take
Are there reasons everybody pays
They never seem to be any use

It's just tomorrow starting

Don't look back until you've tried
With time you'll endlessly arrive
Outside of use
With just tomorrow starting

See my eyes tell me I'm not lying
I'm just the first that you take
Are there reasons everybody pays
They never seem to be any use

It's just tomorrow started

One by one
every courtesy is gone
and the show begins
Bring on the clowns
Pain is quiet
I've laughed at silence
for the last time

Let the show begin
for the last time

Sometimes one,
sometimes each of us is wrong
but the show begins
Bring on the clowns
blind to reason
These eyes are dreaming
for the last time
Let the show begin
for the last time
Let the show begin


(Instrumental)


Bring on the clowns
Smiling sweetly
doubt may leave me
for the last time

Let the show begin
for the last time
Let the show begin

Let the show begin
for the last time,
for the last time

Let the show begin
for the last time,
for the last time

for the last time,
for the last time,
for the last time

7. Call In The Night Boy

Say goodnight
Every hour brings
the morning of my life
Out of time
Every step I take
is further down the line

Here I stand left behind
My eyes open wide
If you need me you should try
calling the night boy

call in
call in the night boy

Say goodnight
Every hour brings
the morning of my life
Out of tune
Every breath I take
I take it over you

I don't care
what people say
I don't care
Night is Day
I'll remember if you say

call in the night boy
call in
call in the night boy
call in


(Instrumental)


Here I stand left behind
My eyes are open wide
If you need me you should try
calling the night boy
call in
call in the night boy
call in
call in the night boy,
calling the night boy,
calling the night boy,
call in
call in the night boy
call in

Maybe when the heat's away
you're fine.
To put another drink away
is out of line. (out of line)
It's so easy with a thief to blame
for breaking every pledge I've made.
Does it matter
if I can't say Caroline knows?

Every little accident takes time.
Forget about mistakes I've made
they're left behind, (they're left behind)
It's so easy with a thief to blame
for breaking every pledge I've made.
Does it matter
if I can't say Caroline knows?


(Instrumental)


so easy with a thief to blame
for breaking every pledge I've made.
Does it matter
if I can't say
Does it matter
if I can't say Caroline knows?
