Well she chewed me up and she spat me out I didn't want to meet a maneater Shark attack! Please don't mess around with me I'm a shark fatality, in the sea I'm the one with the bleeding heart I thought you were a real lifesaver And life for once would do me a favour But babys just a butcher, and her teeth are razor sharp Shark attack!

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU (N.Finn) 3:07 What's the matter with you? Look down on everything we do I really wonder if you see today like I do What's the matter with you? What's the matter with you? You don't look cool in shades of blue I really wonder if you see today like I do What's the matter with you? When I got up today I felt so much brighter My head was swimming with delight and I told her But she said "What's so good about today?" And she walked away She's down in the dumps without a reason why What's the matter with you? Look down on everything we do I really wonder if you see today like I do What's the matter with you? Gonna keep an eye on you, I'll be your dictator So you better buck up or I'll deal with you later So beat the drum and let the trumpet blow You gotta let go In the heat of the moment you reap what you sow What's the matter with you? Look down on everything we do I really wonder if you see today like I do What's the matter with you? The worried look that's on your face makes you older You realise that things have never been better Yes sir, the weathers clear There's Eskimos, in summer clothes I don't suppose you'd like to laugh with me What's the matter with you? You look down on everything we do I really wonder if you see today like I do What's the matter with you? _____________________________________________________________________ 4.

MISSING PERSON (N.Finn) 3:36 Home to sweet home, it just occured to me To be on my own, in search of bitter treats I get so removed but you never notice it Step in my shoes, you'll see that I don't fit I walk home, the wrong way, hoping I'll go astray I'd like to be a missing person Eyes open wide, but all I see is black You thought I was alright just wait til you get back There'll be no-one home And they'll stay up all night Everyone I know, I'm wishing you goodnight I walk home, the wrong way, hoping I'll go astray I'd like to be a missing person I wander the highways, asleep in your doorways I'm wanted but I'm a missing person Missing Person And I fly by night, fighting to get away On the neon lights I slip down alley ways Only safe and sound when silence brings a chill Now my back is turned, I know I can't stand still I walk home the wrong way, this time I'll go astray I like to be a missing person I wander the highways, asleep in your doorways I'm wanted but I'm a missing person Missing person, missing person, missing person... _____________________________________________________________________ 9. POOR BOY (T.Finn) 3:27 My love is alien, I picked her up by chance She speaks to me in ultra-high frequency The radio band of gold Gonna listen til I grow old Oo hoo hoo what more can a poor boy do? Oo hoo hoo what more can a poor boy do? Oo hoo hoo hoo The crackle of the radio The message in the evening sky You're looking at an interplanetary Romeo I'll never see her face between us there's too much space Oo hoo hoo what more can a poor boy do? Oo hoo hoo what more can a poor boy do? Oo hoo hoo hoo (What more can a poor boy do?) Keep losing you What more can a poor boy do? What more can a poor boy do?

HOW CAN I RESIST HER (T.Finn) 3:31 Blonde hair, blue eyes She came on like a white lie My wicked angel in mortal disguise There's one in every crowd Gonna make me shout aloud How can I resist her Haven't even kissed her All I wanna do is Pleasing you and say yes Oh tell me "How can I resist her?" Demon in lipstick, a beauty of nature I'm only human and sometimes I hate you Trembling at the knees I can only say "Yes Please?" How can I resist her Haven't even kissed her All I wanna do is Pleasing you and say yes Oh tell me "How can I resist her?" How can I resist her? Oh tell me "How can I resist her?" How can I re, how can I re, how can I re... How can I resist her? Divine delinquent Delicious and perverse I want to touch you Just once before I burst How can I resist her?...
