Voices Carry 

I'm in the dark, I'd like to read his mind
But I'm frightened of the things I might find
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
To tear him away-a-ay
When I tell him that I'm falling in love
Why does he say-a-ay
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Uh-ah

I try so hard not to get upset
Because I know all the trouble I'll get
Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide
And something to fear-eh-eh
And I try so hard to keep it inside
So no one can hear

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Uh-ah

Oh!
He wants me, but only part of the time
He wants me, if he can keep me in line

Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, shut up now, voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry
Hush hush, darling, she might overhear
Hush, hush - voices carry

He said shut up - he said shut up
Oh God can't you keep it down
Voices carry
Hush hush, voices carry

I wish he would let me talk

Love Plus One 

I, I went off to the right
Without saying good goodbye
Where does it go from here?

Is it down to the lake I fear?

Ay ay ay ay ay ah
Ay ay ay ay ay ah

Then I call
Ring, ring, ring, ring

La la love plus one
Ring, ring, ring, ring
When I call love
Give love some soul
If I may be quite so bold
Where does it go from here?

Is it down to the lake I fear?

Ay ay ay ay ay ah
Ay ay ay ay ay ah

Then I call
Ring, ring, ring, ring
La la love plus one
Ring, ring, ring, ring
When I call love
Love plus one

Echo Beach 

I know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo Beach
I watch the sun go down
From nine to five, I have to spend my time at work
My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach someday

On silent summer evenings
The sky's alive with lights
A building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
On Echo Beach
Waves make the only sound
On Echo Beach
There's not a soul around

From nine to five, I have to spend my time at work
My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps me pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach someday

Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time

Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time

Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time
Echo Beach, far away in time

I Am A Camera 

Memories how they fade so fast
Look back there is no escape
Tied down now you see too late
Lovers they will never wait
I am a camera
I am a camera
Take heart I will never let you go
If you want to let your feelings show
Lovers all how they never broke your heart
You lose them if the feeling starts
I am a camera camera camera
I am a camera camera camera
There by the waterside
Here where the lens is wide
You and me by the sea
Taken in tranquility
Take heart I will never let you go
If you want to let your feelings show
Lovers all how they never broke your heart
You lose them if the feeling starts
I am I am a camera
I am a camera I am a camera
I am I am a camera
I am a camera I am a camera
There by the waterside
Here where the lens is wide
You and me by the sea

(Action)

I had a dream on a back lot
I saw my life like a long shot
Of smiling faces in a picture parade
Of all the stills from the films that you made
That we would see in the Essoldo
After drinking coffee on the Giocondo

Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B movie

I played a man from history

Elstree, oh look at me (oh, oh, oh)
Now I work for the BBC (oh, oh, oh)

Life is not what it used to be
I took no dives in the fight scene
I had a stuntman keep my suit clean
There's no technology to make up a song

They stop the orchestra if you get it wrong

Elstree, remember me,
I had a part in a B movie

I played a man from history

Elstree, oh look at me (oh, oh, oh)
Now I work for the BBC (oh, oh, oh)
Life is not what it used to be

Elstree

They made a field into a war zone

I beat the enemy on my own

All the bullets just went over my head

There's no reality and no one dead, in

Elstree, remember me
I had a part in a B movie

I played a man from history

Elstree

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Elstree

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Elstree

Elstree

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
Elstree

Bette Davis Eyes 

Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn her music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes
And she'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on a throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you, when she snows you
Offer feed with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll tease you, she'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious, and she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she snows you
'Cause she knows you, she's got Bette Davis Eyes
She'll tease you

Japanese Boy 

He said that he loved me, never would go
Oh oh, oh oh
Now I find I'm sitting here on my own
Oh oh, oh oh

Was it something I've said or done
That made him pack his bags up and run
Could it be another he's found
It's breaking up the happy home

Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
He's a Japanese boy
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese boy
Ooh, I miss my Japanese boy

People ask about him every day
Oh oh, oh oh
Don't know what to tell them, what can I say
Oh oh, oh oh

If only he would write me or call
A word of explanation, that's all
It would stop me climbing the wall
It's breaking up the happy home

Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
He's a Japanese boy
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese boy
Ooh, I miss my Japanese boy

Was it something I've said or done
That made him pack his bags up and run
Could it be another he's found
It's breaking up the happy home
Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
He's a Japanese boy
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese boy
Ooh, I miss my Japanese boy

Mister can you tell me where my love has gone
He's a Japanese boy
I woke up one morning and my love was gone
Oh, my Japanese boy
Ooh, I miss my Japanese boy
