Nik Kershaw - "She Could Be The One"

....

I'm a huge Nik Kershaw fan! Love his Music, and the Lyrics always make me grin like an idiot, From the album, "Youve Got to Laugh"

Look at her, you catch her eye,
She makes you laugh until you cry,
makes you want to go and get her….
Don’t be stupid, that’s so sad,
You’re old enough to be her dad!
old enough to know much better...

There’s an angel over there,
Bet you’d like to stroke her hair,
Bet you’d like to get her wings off...
Not a chance, no way Jose!
What the hell would people say?
What the hell would people think of you?
What have you got to do?

Heart is thumping
So exciting
Spirit jumping
She could be the one...

Do you want her?
She’s inviting
Do you wonder
If she could be the one?

There’s another, she’s alright
Maybe she could spend the night
Maybe she could be your saviour
Five feet eleven in her socks
She’d have to stand you on a box!
not appropriate behaviour…

How bout her?, she could be fun,
Could boil your bunnies one by one
Best be careful how you choose her
But what exactly have you got?
John Travolta you are not,
What would she want with a loser like you
what have you gotto do?

...

Heart is thumping
So exciting
Spirit jumping
She could be the one
Do you want her?
She’s inviting
Do you wonder?
If she could be the one

...

What am I supposed to do?

Nobody giving me a clue?

Maybe I've got a shot-

Possibly...Probably not...

Nik Kershaw - "Dangerous Eyes"

She has office girl hair that she wears in a bun,
And her confident air doesn't fool anyone,
With her curious walk neither clumsy or svelte
And a mouth where the bravest of butter would never dare melt...

...

But her dangerous eyes could get you in trouble,
Could make you do something you might regret
Her dangerous eyes could make you see double
Could make you see God for a second, I bet....

...

Well, she's wider than some (if I can be graphic),
With a generous bum that wouldn't stop traffic
Her functional fingers, not exactly petite,
And you wouldn't get anyone queuing to fall at those feet...

...

But her dangerous eyes could get you in trouble,
Could make you do something you might regret
Her dangerous eyes could make you see double,
Could make you see God for a second, I bet...

...

You'll say when you've seen her
"She's no Angelina",
She'll never make you lose your cool
But I know when she flashes
Those Medusa lashes
You'll just be one more fool...

....You fool

And her schoolteacher voice wouldn't deign to entice,
And her ever so sensible dresses wouldn't make you look twice

...

But her dangerous eyes could get me in trouble,
Could make me do something I might regret
Her dangerous eyes could well burst my bubble,
Could make me see God for a second

...

Well her dangerous eyes could get you in trouble,
Could make you do something you might regret
Her dangerous eyes could make you see double
Could make you see God for a second, I bet....

Nik Kershaw - Fiction

If you wrote a book with a page for each memory,
And put it in hardback for people to buy
The critics would laugh, yeah they'd call it ridiculous,
And sit around waiting for Porky to fly...

...
But the truth is stranger than fiction
And I must believe what I see,
Yeah, the truth is stranger than fiction to me...

...
If they made a film of the book of the memory,
With Bobby De Niro and Demi De Moore,
You'd sit in your seat with your popcorn and chocolate,
And wonder aloud at the point of it all....

...
But, the truth is stranger than fiction,
And I must believe what I see
Yeah, the truth is stranger than fiction to me

...
If it can happen it will happen it has happened already
If you don't understand, no reason and no rhyme
Don't ask why

...
If someone had told you you'd be where you are today,
You'd of thought they were crazy, and laughed in their face
And I never thought I would long for the memory,
I never thought I would get to this place

...
But the truth is stranger than fiction,
And I must believe what I see
Well, the truth is stranger than fiction to me
The truth is stranger than fiction to me

...

Nik Kershaw - Cloud Nine

"...but even though the song is ours, the pleasure is all mine..."

High above the push and shove
I float without a sound
Paradise found
I can see a lilac field
A blue and crimson sky
How lucky am I

And sunlight makes it alright
Makes me shine
I watch you watching
Miss you
Doing fine

But even though the view is ours
The pleasure is all mine
Living on cloud nine

High above a crowded street
A little bird of prey
Sings have a nice day
I can hear the falling rain
The crushing ocean wave
And Dagenham Dave

And music makes me lose it
Makes me shine
When he sings
Oh my darling, Clementine

But even though the song is ours
The pleasure is all mine
Living on cloud nine

I own my world
I own my world
And all that's in it
As far as I can see

I own my world
I own my world
And all that's in it
It all belongs to me

I would love to share my love with you
But you don't see this beauty like I do

And even though the world is ours
The pleasure is all mine
Living on cloud
Get off my cloud nine
Get off my cloud nine
Get off my cloud nine

High above the push and shove
I float without a sound
Paradise found...

Nik Kershaw- Radio Musicola

Black Vinyl man, with black plasticised imagination
More fodder for the new lost generation
I got a question to send you to the nearest closet
Why can't you let us do it like JONI does it?

There you go again, giving it your very best
Trying so hard to make it sound like all the rest,
And as your factory sanctifies your wooden soul,
You gave us T.V. dinners, now it's T.V. rock 'n' roll

We're growing up
We're growing up
To radio musicola

I got political inclinations to announce
But no way, if it doesn't scan with your accounts
I got some spiritual ideology for you,
I know it's gotta correspond with the corporation view...

We're growing up,
We're growing up
To radio musicola...

You can find it in the streets,
You can find it in the elevators,
You can find it where the ladies wash their hands...
It emanates from littleboxes on the wall, and it'll
Soon be coming in disposable tin cans...

My soul shows art to me, but dollar says my radio,
Wall street liquid lunches showing us the way to go
Why tolerate this numismatical polity?
There isn't any other way, there isn't any other way, more's the pity...

We're growing up,
We're growing up
To radio musicola...
