i seen a girl on a one way corridor
stealing down a wrong way street
for all the world like an urban toreador
she had wheels on on her feet
well the cars do the usual dances
same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
but the rollergirl she’s taking chances
they just love to see her take them all

no fears alone at night she’s sailing through the crowd
in her ears the phones are tight and the music’s playing loud

hallelujah here she comes queen rollerball
enchante what can i say don’t care at all
you know she used to have to wait around
she used to be the lonely one
but now that she can skate around town
she’s the only one

no fears alone at night she’s sailing through the crowd
in her ears the phones are tight and the music’s playing loud

she gets rock n roll a rock n roll station
and a rock n roll dream
she’s making movies on location
she don’t know what it means
but the music make her wanna be the story
and the story was whatever was the song what it was
rollergirl don’t worry
d.j. play the movies all night long

she tortures taxi drivers just for fun
she like to read their lips
says toro toro taxi see ya tomorrow my son
i swear she let a big truck grease her hip
she got her own world in the city
you can’t intrude on her
she got her own world in the city
cos the city’s benn so rude to her

no fears alone at night she’s sailing through the crowd
in her ears the phones are tight and the music’s playing loud

she gets rock n roll a rock n roll station
and a rock n roll dream
she’s making movies on location
she don’t know what it means
but the music make her wanna be the story
and the story was whatever was the song what it was
rollergirl don’t worry
d.j. play the movies all night long

come slippin and slidin
life’s roller ball
slippin and a slidin
skateaway that’s all
shala shalay hey hey skateaway
she’s going sining shala shalay hey hey
skateaway

a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
says something like you and me babe how about it?

juliet says hey it’s romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
he’s underneath the window she’s singing hey la my boyfriend’s back
you shoudn’t come around here singing up at people like that
anyway what you gonna do about it?

juliet the dice were loaded from the start
and i bet and you exploded in my heart
and i forget i forget the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
and i dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
how can you look at me as i was just another one of your deals?

when you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
you promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
now you just say oh romeo yeah you know i used to have a scene with him

juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said i love you like the stars above i’ll love you till i die
there’s a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

i can’t do the talk like they talking on the tv
and i can’t do a love song like the way its meant to be
i can’t do everything but i’d do anything for you
i can’t do anything except be in love with you

and all i do is miss you and the way we used to be
all i do is keep the beat and bad company
all i do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
julie i’d do the stars with you any time

juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said i love you like the stars above i’ll love you till i die
there’s a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?

getting crazy on the waltzers but it’s the life that i choose
sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
and i been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
and i don’t know where i’ll be tonight but i’d always tell you where i am

in a screaming ring of faces i seen her standing in the light
she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night
i put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
i had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i’m just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love

it’s just the danger when you’re riding at your own risk
she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let’s keep it like this
it’s just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say
hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i’m just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love

well it’s been money for muscle another whirligig
money for muscle and another girl i dig
another hustle just to make it big
and rockaway rockaway

and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids

she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
she put her hand in my pocket i got a keepsake and a kiss
and in the roar of the dust and diesel i stood and watched her walk away
i could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
and i’m just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love

and now i’m searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
in any shooting gallery where promises are made
to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway

and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids

i hear the seven deadly sins
and the terrible twins came to call on you
the bigger they are babe
the harder they fall on you
and you you’re always the same you persevere
on the same old pleasure ground
oh and it never rains around here
it just comes pouring down

you had no more volunteers
so you got profiteers for to help you out
with friends like that babe
good friends you had to do without
and now they’ve taken the chains and the gears
from off your merry-go-round
oh and it never rains around here
it just comes pouring down

and your new romeo
was just a gigolo when he let you down
see the faster they are babe
the faster they get out of town
leaving make up stains and the tears
of a clown
yes and it never rains around here
it just comes pouring down

oh you were just a roller coaster memory
i don’t know why i was even passing through
i saw you making a date with destiny
when he came around here asking after you
in the shadow of the wheel of fortune
you’re busy trying to clear your name
you say ’i may be guilty yeah that may be true
but i’d be lying if i said i was to blame
see we could have been major contenders
we never got no money no breaks’
you’ve got a list of all the major offenders
you got a list of all their major mistakes
and he’s just standing on the shadows
yes and you smile that come-on smile
oh i can still hear you say as clear as the day
’i’d like to make it worth your while’

ah but it’s a sad reminder
when your organ grinder has to come to you for the rent
and all you’ve got to give him
is the use of your side-show tent
yes and that’s all that remains of the years
spent doing to rounds
and it never rains around here
well it just comes pouring down

now you know what they say about beggars
you can’t complain about the rules
you know what they say about beggars
you know who’s the first to blame his tools
you never gave a damn about who you pick up
and leave lying bleeding on the ground
you screw people over on the way up
because you thought that you were never coming down
and he takes you out in vaudeville valley
with his hand up smothering your screams
and he screws you down in tin pan alley
in the city of a billion dreams

you walk out on the high wire
you’re a dancer on thin ice
you pay no heed to the danger
and less to advice
your footsteps are forbidden
but with a knowledge of your sin
you throw your love to all the strangers
and caution to the wind

and you go dancing through doorways
just to see what you will find
leaving nothing to interfere
with the crazy balance of your mind
and when you finally reappear
at the place where you came in
you’ve thrown your love to all the strangers
and caution to the wind

it takes love over gold
and mind over matter
to do what you do that you must
when the things that you hold
can fall and be shattered
or run through your fingers like dust

warning lights are flashing down at quality control
somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole
there’s rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down
there’s a meeting in the boardroom they’re trying to trace the smell
there’s leaking in the washroom there’s a sneak in personnel
somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
’goodness me could this be industrial disease?

the caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
they’re refusing to be pacified it’s him they blame the most
the watchdog’s got rabies the foreman’s got fleas
and everyone’s concerned about industrial disease
there’s panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knots
some come out in sympathy some come out in spots
some blame the management some the employees
and everybody knows it’s the industrial disease

the work force is disgusted downs tools and walks
innocence is injured experience just talks
everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees
that these are ’classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze’
on itv and bbc they talk about the curse
philosophy is useless theology is worse
history boils over there’s an economics freeze
sociologists invent words that mean ’industrial disease’

doctor parkinson declared ’i’m not surprised to see you here
you’ve got smokers cough from smoking, brewer’s droop from drinking beer
i don’t know how you came to get the betty davis knees
but worst of all young man you’ve got industrial disease’
he wrote me a prescription he said ’you are depressed
but i’m glad you came to see me to get this off your chest
come back and see me later - next patient please
send in another victim of industrial disease’

i go down to speaker’s corner i’m thunderstruck
they got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
two men say they’re jesus one of them must be wrong
there’s a protest singer singing a protest song - he says
’they wanna have a war to keep us on our knees
they wanna have a war to keep their factories
they wanna have a war to stop us buying japanese
they wanna have a war to stop industrial disease
they’re pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
they wanna sap your energy incarcerate your mind
they give you rule brittania, gassy beer, page three
two weeks in espana and sunday striptease’
meanwhile the first jesus says ’i’d cure it soon
abolish monday mornings and friday afternoons’
the other one’s on a hunger strike he’s dying by degrees
how come jesus gets industrial disease

it’s a mystery to me - the game commences
for the usual fee - plus expenses
confidential information - it’s not a public inquiry

i go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt
you get to meet all sorts in this line of work
treachery and treason - there’s always an excuse for it
and when i find the reason i still can’t get used to it

and what have you got at the end of the day?
what have you got to take away?
a bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes

scarred for life - nocompensation
private investigations

a long time ago came a man on a track
walking thirty miles with a pack on his back
and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
made a home in the wilderness
he built a cabin and a winter store
and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
and the other travellers came riding down the track
and they never went further, no, they never went back
then came the churches then came the schools
then came the lawyers then came the rules
then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

then came the mines - then came the ore
then there was the hard times then there was a war
telegraph sang a song about the world outside
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
like a rolling river. . .

and my radio says tonight it’s gonna freeze
people driving home from the factories
there’s six lanes of traffic
three lanes moving slow. . .

i used to like to go to work but they shut it down
i got a right to go to work but there’s no work here to be found
yes and they say we’re gonna have to pay what’s owed
we’re gonna have to reap from some seed that’s been sowed
and the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
they can always fly away from this rain and this cold
you can hear them singing out their telegraph code
all the way down the telegraph road

you know i’d sooner forget but i remember those nights
when life was just a bet on a race between the lights
you had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
now you act a little colder like you don’t seem to care
but believe in me baby and i’ll take you away
from out of this darkness and into the day
from these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
from the anger that lives on the streets with these names
’cos i’ve run every red light on memory lane
i’ve seen desperation explode into flames
and i don’t want to see it again. . .

from all of these signs saying sorry but we’re closed
all the way down the telegraph road

red sun go down way over dirty town
starling are sweeping around crazy shoals
a girl is there high heeling across the square
wind blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles
waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
she looks around to find a face she can like.

church bell clinging on trying to get a crowd for evensong
nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays
they’re all in the station praying for trains
cogregations late again
it’s getting darker all the time these flagpole days
drunk old soldier he gives her a fright
he’s crazy lion howling for a fight.

strap hanging gunshot sound
doors slamming on the overground
starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone
her evening paper is horror torn
but there’s hope later for capricorns
her lucky stars give her just enough to get home
then she’s reading about a swing to the right
but she’s thinking about a stranger in the night
i’m thinking about the lions tonight
what happened to the lions.

stepping out to angellucci’s for my coffee beans
checking out the movies and the magazines
waitress she watches me crossing from the barocco bar
i’m getting a pickup for my steel guitar
i saw you walking out shaftesbury avenue
excuse me for talking i wanna marry you
this is the seventh heaven street to me
don’t be so proud
you’re just another angel in the crowd
and i’m walking in he wild west end
walking with your wild best friend

and my conductress on the number nineteen
she was a honey
pink toenails and hands all dirty with money
greasy hair easy smile
made me feel nineteen for a while
amd wi went down to chinatown
in the backroom it’s a man’s world
all the money go down
duck inside the doorway gotta duck to eat
right now feels alright now
you and me we can’t beat

and a gogo dancing girl yes i saw her
the deejay he say here’s mandy for ya
i feel alright to see her
but she’s paid to do that stuff
she’s dancing high i move on by
the close ups can get rough
when you’re walking in the wild west end

harry made a bareback rider proud and free upon a horse
and a fine coalminer for the ncb that was
a fallen angel and jesus on the cross
a skating ballerina you should have seen her do the skater’s waltz

some people have got to paint and draw
harry had to work in clay and stone
like the waves coming to the shore
it was in his blood and in his bones
ignored by all the trendy boys in london and in leeds
he might as well have been making toys or strings of beads
he could not be in the gallery

and then you get an artist says he doesn’t want to paint at all
he takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wall
the birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes
while the dealers they get together
and they decide who gets the breaks
and who’s going to be in the gallery

no lies he wouldn’t compromise
no junk no bits of string
and all the lies we subsidise
that just don’t mean a thing
i’ve got to say he passed away in obscurity
and now all the vultures are coming down from the tree
so he’s going to be in the gallery

never want to see her face no more

every single time i roll across the rolling river tyne
i get the same old feeling
every time i’m moving down the line

southbound again last night i felt like crying
right now i’m sick of living
but i’m going to keep on trying

your six blade knife can do anything for you
anything you want it to
one blade for breaking my heart
one blade for tearing me apart
your six blade knife-do anything for you

you can take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin
when you come up from behind and lay it down cold on my skin
took a stone from my soul when i was lame
just so you could make me tame
you take away my mind like you take away the top of a tin

i’d like to be free of it now - i don’t want it no more
i’d like to be free of it now - you know i don’t want it no more

everybody got a knife it can be just what they want it to be
a needle a wife or something that you just can’t see

you know it keeps you strong
yes and it’ll do me wrong

you say i’m the greatest bound for glory
well the word is out and i learned
i got the latest side of the story
you’re pulling out before you get burned

well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
i never saw you breaking no law
stands to reason i’ve got to leave you alone
what you take me for

you’re setting me up to put me down
you’re making me out to be your clown
you’re just setting me up to put me down
you better give it up
quit your messing around

you think i care about your reaction
you think i don’t understand
all you wanted was a piece of the action
now you talk about another man

high and dry in the long hot day
lost and lonely in every way
got the flats all around me sky up above
i need a little water of love

i’ve been too long lonely and my heart feels pain
crying out for some soothing rain
i believe i have taken enough
i need a little water of love

water of love deep in the ground
no water here to be found
some day baby when the river runs free
it’ll carry that water of love to me

there’s a bird up in a tree sitting up high
waiting for me to die
if i don’t get some water soon
i’ll be dead and gone in the afternoon

once i had a woman i could call my own
once i had a woman now my woman is gone
once there was a river now there’s a stone
you know it’s evil when you’re living alone

sweet surrender on the quayside
you remember we used to run and hide
in the shadow of the cargoes i take you one at a time
and we’re counting all the numbers down to the waterline

near misses on the dogleap stairways
french kisses in the darkened doorways
a foghorn blowing out wild and cold
a policeman shines a light upon my shoulder

up comes a coaster fast and silent in the night
over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights
no money in our jackets and our jeans are torn
your hands are cold but your lips are warm

she can see him on the jetty where they used to go
she can feel him in the places where the sailors go
when she’s walking by the river and the railway line
she can still hear him whisper
let’s go down to the waterline
