My Next Girlfriend




I'm 63 years old. By my calculation, my next girlfriend will be a centenarian.

Nothing But Thieves: Trip Switch



Sharing secrets with another world
Rubbing shoulders with some unknown lovers
Making waves through the universe
Starting wars with anonymous brothers

Trip switch trip switch
Make a wish and I'll count to three
Press the button and we'll both be happy
Sending signals is a dirty trick
I get my love in a digital packet

Trip switch trip switch

What we do when the power's out
What do we do when the lights go
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down

Gimme data cos I need a hit
How I love stratospheric numbers
Information, I've been craving it
Gimme yours then gimme all the others

Trip switch trip switch

What we do when the power's out
What do we do when the lights go
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down

They put out the lights, they put out the lights
What we do when the power's out
What do we do when the lights go
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down

Nik Kershaw: Wouldn't It Be Good



I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy, you don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting, even though I know I should

The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fiber
My broken spirit is frozen to the core
I don't want to be here no more

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
The grass is always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care

You must be joking, you don't know a thing about it
You've got no problem, I'd stay right there if I were you
I got it harder, you couldn't dream how hard I got it
Stay out of my shoes if you know what's good for you

The heat is stifling, burning me up from the inside
The sweat is coming through each and every pore
I don't want to be here no more
I don't want to be here no more
I don't want to be here no more

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away, ooh

Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
The grass is always greener over there
And wouldn't it be good if we could live without a care

I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy, you don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting, even though I know I should
