Ooooooh oooooh

Lawrence in the desert, how was he to know
Under so much pressure from the men back home?

Play with fire, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
Play with guns, you must be bad
Or hiding something, Jack!

Telling lies in public, breaking codes at home
Underneath the blankets, for another role

Tell these lies, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
To feast with panthers every night
You must be careful, Jack!

Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool

We all fall, even Jack the Lad
We all fall, even Jack the Lad
Will fall

Philby in the desert
looking for a phone
Waiting on the pavement
for a call from home

Play with fire, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
Turn your back on friends you had
They must have hurt you, Jack!

Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool

We all fall, even Jack the Lad
We all fall, even Jack the Lad

Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool

We all fall, even Jack the Lad
We all fall, even Jack the Lad
Will fall...

I want a dog, a Chihuahua
When I get back to my small flat
I want to hear somebody bark
Oh, you can get lonely
I want a dog

Don't want a cat
scratching its claws all over my habitat
giving no love and getting fat
Oh, you can get lonely
and a cat's no help with that

Bulldog, hound and pug and labrador
Collie, retriever and Doberman pincher
Husky, Dalmatian, Saint Bernard und Dachshund
Mongrel, beagle, Cocker spaniel

I want a dog
to walk in the park
When it gets dark
my dog will bark at any passers-by
Oh, you can get lonely
I want a dog

I want a dog, a Chihuahua
When I get back to my small flat
I want to hear somebody bark
Oh, you can get lonely

(Excited Excited Excited Excited)
(Excited Excited Excited Excited)

(I get excited)
(I get excited)

We're both in the gutter, that's no surprise
What does it matter, when I look in your eyes?
We've lost all our money, we're thrown out of bars
We're lying in the gutter, but we're looking at the stars

I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)

I hear the sound of the subway, the sigh of the heat
The click of the visitors' heels on the street
The rattle of the taxi, the scream of the cars
The clatter of the dustbin and the beat of my heart

I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Excited Excited Excited Excited)
(Excited Excited Excited Excited)

You're in my soul
My body moves to your control
Baby, I've been thinking about you
All night long, and the neighbours are talking

I don't know why, I don't know why (Excited) (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Excited) (I get excited)

We're both in the gutter, that's no surprise
What does it matter, when I look in your eyes?
We've lost all our money, we're thrown out of bars
We're lying in the gutter, but we're looking at the stars

I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why
(Excited Excited Excited Excited)
(Excited Excited Excited Excited)
(Ooooooooh)

I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too (Excited) (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why (I get excited)
I don't know why, I don't know why (I get excited)
I get excited, you get excited too

A windy day
The cars in slow formation
Not far away
A final destination
One mother's son
His father's distant gaze, regretting
Where they went wrong
He always found it too upsetting

Me and my friend
We lived our lives completely
From start to end
You and your friend, so sweetly
With strength and pride
In spite of everything, and swimming
Against the tide
To obstinately hope of winning

And at the end
Your funny uncle staring
At all your friends
With military bearing
And stopped to stand
To smile and speak of you directly
Goodbye, shake hands
Like you did everything correctly

To wipe away the tears
No more pain, no fear
No sorrow or dying
No waiting or crying
These former things have passed away
Another life begins today
