I wanna be a private jet
and take you everywhere
You ain’t seen noting yet
we can go anywhere
A fireball across the sky
Hey, that’s just me
letting off some energy
I wanna be a private jet
and take you everywhere
You ain’t seen noting yet
we can go anywhere
I wanna be a private jet set playboy and take you around the world
A million miles a day
that’s how fast I go
I’m out on the runway
and I’m ready for take off
I'm waiting for you,
waiting for you to come
I needed a lifeboat
or some help to pull the plug
I was about to drown in tears
You came from nowhere with your smiles and hidden charms
I hadn’t felt so good in years
Wham – straight into my head
Blam – straight into my bed
Extraordinary sensations
The past was present
every hour of the day
I couldn’t talk in present tense
We got together
by a lucky twist of fate
somehow you broke through my defense
Misunderstandings followed me around like shadows
But suddenly I’m carefree as can be
Wham – straight into my head
Blam – straight into my bed
Extraordinary sensations
If you want to aim for perfection
you never gonna find it in me
I think we need a change of direction
to get to where we want to be
Speak up, speak out
forget about your pride
Speak up, speak out
don’t keep it all inside
And be to me like you want me to be to you
I stand accused but you won’t tell me what I’ve done
and I wish that you would
I’m just an ordinary law-abiding guy
who’s completely misunderstood
It’s like a mystery novel
and I can’t reach the last page
I have to investigate
the scene of the crime
Hold on to fate
and go back in time
Check every clue and try to
find out what I did to you
I’m in the middle of a very strange affair
and the feeling’s no good
Somehow you seem to think that I can read your mind
and I really wish that I could
I have to investigate
the scene of the crime
Hold on to fate
and go back in time
Check every clue and try to find out what I did to you
I have to find an alibi
I don’t know why but I still try
You always wanted to be
a well known face on tv
It would be so cool
to be next prime time fool
When the new season starts with competition for parts
anything will do
just as long as the drinks are free and the girls scream at you
You live in a starshaped word
Congratulations to your seconds of fame
Look at the starshaped world
Humiliation is the name of the game
There’s just one little catch
your looks and your talent
don’t match
But that’s a minor detail
for someone who drowns in
fan mail
But the season will end
with a new tv trend
and your face will be replaced
by the next wannabe in line
You live in a starshaped word
Congratulations to your seconds of fame
Look at the starshaped world
Humiliation is the name of the game
A door step full of flowers
phone calls at funny hours
It’s not like I have to look for signs
I observe and draw conclusions
I don’t have any illusions
Your heart is burning for someone new
I’ll be a fireman for a day
Put out the flame and make
him pay
I’ll get you back some way
Fireman for a day
Outside his car is waiting
You wouldn’t believe how much I hate him
It’s not like my tears are filled with joy
I’ll be a fireman for a day
Put out the flame and make
him pay
I’ll get you back some way
Fireman for a day
Fire alarms and open arms
I’ll save a cat in a tree
What do you need to change your mind and come back to me?
Completely lost in my daydream haze again
It feels like I’m surfing on a star
All I want today, is to forget about yesterday
And go fast forward with you
To me it’s real,
it’s not a dream at all
And this could last a million years or more
All I want today, is to forget about yesterday
And go fast forward with you
My silly season runs all year
– year after year
I have to get back into shape
– before it’s too late
Go into training every day
– day after day
And wear my track suit with a smile – mile after mile
But like in football, hockey and basketball
I’ll never play in the first division of love
I’ve been a fool who’s played it fair – it got me nowhere
Now I compete and play it rough – but it’s not enough
Cause my ambition is to score
– so much more
I will defend and then attack
– and never look back
But like in football, hockey and basketball
I’ll never play in the first division of love
Once you were king, it was a blast – you ruled the town
Now you’re a shadow of the past
– you’ve lost your crown
Maybe you should consider a membership today
Then you’ll always have someone who can make a bad day worse
Join the Self-pity Association maybe you could find
sympathy and real appreciation
Join the Self-pity Association with people of your kind
apathy don’t need no inspiration
Your friends all left without a trace – and made new careers
No new ones came and took their place – they’ve been lost for years
You really should apply for a membership today
Then you’ll always have someone who can make a bad day worse
Bad days turn into weeks and months and the years pile up
and the more things change the more you stay the same
Out there I see the sunny weather
In here I think of us together
But when I stick my nose out
I sneeze and run back in
Summer’s here with that itchy feeling
Hayfever
I guess I’ll have to wait for ever
To see the two of us together
Hayfever
