Billy Idol - DEAD ON ARRIVAL


Dead on arrival
Well that's how they pronounced him
But I'm out for survival
I'm alive in this town
It took the vital injection
From that sweaty little girl child
She had the blood of conviction
I'm alive and hurtin'

And they said where did you go
And what did you do
Well what's gonna happen when he gets shot with love

Dead on arrival
They thought that nothing would save me
But I know what could break me
Dead on arrival
You were my death reflected
I love to tiptoe
That brought me into this town
I got a vital injection
And a gun at my head man
From a thrill hit redhead
That brought me into this town

Well where did you go
[+And] What did you do
Walked on out and he gets shot with love
With love, with love yeh
Yeh...

Dead on arrival
Well that ain't a prediction
Fact of fiction
I'm alive in your town
Don't try to shake me
Don't try to break me
I know what can save me
They take the blood in her town
And they said
Where did you go
And what did you do
Well, what's gonna happen when he gets shot with love
With love, with love

Billy Idol - NOBODY'S BUSINESS


What a fool to step into those shoes
Either way you know they win or lose
You know money talks
Your eyes they ain't so blue
You love to watch the green-backs walk
You got a five-buck side-pack

Tell me, tell me someone stop this pain
It's your place I was in a rage insane
I wanted your love so bad
But your eyes are never blue
Droolin' over green-back poolin'
You got a five-buck side-pack

Well I must have been right about something
Yes to make it to here and to tell you something
Cause nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Well I must have been mad about something
Cause I'm M A D and I spell it for nothing
Cause nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own

What a fool to step into those shoes
Either way you know they[you?] win or lose
You know money talks
Your eyes so paralysed
Don't you realise
For love and hate it's just too late
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own
Nobody's business but my own

Billy Idol - HOLE IN THE WALL


Hey babe, where did you go
When the down down got too much
Hey baby, where will you be found
When the down down gets to much
We were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the
end

Hey babe, where will you be
When the crack crack gets too much (crack)
Hey babe, where will you go
Oh, we were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the
end

CHORUS
There's a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall

(She has under our expert persuasion)
(Has implicated you in high treason)
(You are under arrest)
(Do you have any final requests, requests)
It's a move to take you through
It's a move to take you through
It's a move to take you through
To take you through
To take you through
(You have until the sand runs up)
(Do you have any final requests)
(You look great, you look great)
(You look great)
Hey babe where will you go when the hole in
the wall is shut
Wow, babe you know where I'll be when that
hole in wall is shut
We were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the
end

CHORUS
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh - a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Catch it before you fall
The hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh - a hole in the wall...

Billy Idol - SHOOTING STARS

To do her any more harm

You know she's in my trust
You know she's in my strong

Billy Idol - IT'S SO CRUEL


Here I am again pretty baby
Hanging around
Tonight I've been in every bar in town
Here I am again pretty baby
Hanging around
Tonight I have to try out every girl in town
I took some ecstasy in love

I took my troubles to the East side
I'm getting messed up on my backside
Wall of blocks A-D
Ended up in somebody else's sheets

It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you, without you babe
It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you
Will it ever be over baby
Feel my love come on over
Over you

Here you are again
Pretty baby
Hanging around
Tonight you walked through all my pleasant dreams
Here I am
You know where I look leads to a late night
Low down, low down scene
Really mean
Took the subway to the East side
I get messed up on my backside
Wall of blocks A-D
Ended up in somebody else's sheets

It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you, without you babe
You know what I'm talking about
It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you
Will it ever be over

Feel my love slide
You know what I'm talking about now
It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you, without you babe
You know what I'm talking about now
It's so cruel
I - I - I'm round
Without you
Will it ever be over
Feel my love come on over
Over you babe
For you babe, for you babe, for you babe

Billy Idol - CONGO MAN

Billy Idol - REBEL YELL


Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love
And if it expires pray help from above"

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you hear by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair.

I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you

I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midniight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more"
More, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more, more.

Oh yeah little baby
she want more
More, more, more, more.

Billy Idol - DAYTIME DRAMA


Day by day
Hour by hour
What haunts my nighttime
Sharts my daylight
Even good friends
Have no answers
Beautiful stars
You don't want a hard patch
Just a few facts
It's use and abuse
You'd write your story
As work for playtime
Time for love
My beautiful stars
Beautiful stars

Don't touch her man
I want her over and over again
Don't touch her man
I want her over and over again

Beautiful stars
In my daytime drama
When I ask the questions
War and answers
See you dancing
Romancing what I want
My beautiful star
Beautiful star

Don't touch her man
I want her over and over again
Don't touch her man
I want her over and over and over and over

Beautiful star
Of my daytime drama
Yes it's in my hand now
You're my hope for a future
Beautiful star
Of my daytime drama
Love to win a boy
You're my hope for a future
Some are happy and some are amazed
Some are devoted
Some are saved
I was one, but I was saved
Again, again
Beautiful star of a daytime drama

Billy Idol - EYES WITHOUT A FACE


I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

Les yeux sans visageeyes without a face
Les yeux sans visageeyes without a face
Les yeux sans visageeyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you

Les yeux sans visageeyes without a face
Les yeux sans visageeyes without a face
Les yeux sans visageeyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise

Les yeux sans visageeyes without a face
Les yeux sans visageeyes without a face
Les yeux sans visageeyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse.

Billy Idol - (DO NOT)STAND IN THE SHADOWS


Hearts which beat to a precise beat
Fading shadows on the wall
We'll cut our cards
Drive out bars
All for one, one for all.

Like teenage heat
And carnival cheats
With your heart on your sleeve
Well you know you wanna run
You won't hide
And you jump like a son of a gun

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

Oh alone and lonely
Watching people on my wall
Well Mama and Dadda thought they had me fooled
I was thinking not at all
Well I got out
Not gonna stand
In the dark without a light
Forgetting love if you believe that chance
Sit and wait
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

And now the judge is down feeling
all around yeah
Lifting to a blast this sound
No preachers, teachers
Pick our minds
To the sounds of false alarm
They're here today
And they hear you say
You're alive and you're living with me
So don't try to hide
And don't try to die
In the dark of the night

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
In the shadows, in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows

Billy Idol - THE DEAD NEXT DOOR


Watch the sky
For a reason why
I'm safe here
Sunday it was part
Monday it was none
Monday was none
For the dead next door
One pair of silent terror reins
And we're the dead next door

The heat of the day fades away
Fades into the night
The heat of the day
Offering a wedding
Suffering away
For the dead next door
You see
One error, silent terror
And we're the dead next door

In animal land
And dark is in command
One thing you should know
Don't hear that knocking
Don't eat out of their hand
Don't stumble, die
You say
Don't stumble, cry
They see you and me
You and me
With the dead next door
You and me
With the dead next door
You and me
With the dead next door

Billy Idol - WORLDS FORGOTTEN BOY


My road is long, it lingers on.
You stare at me and I'm holding on.
My eyes are dim, my breath is weak
and tears stain my cheeks.
Up there so high where the air is so thin,
You look for signs. Am I giving in?
All for me you bring crashing down,
And still you condemn me.
Oh no no shame. All my life I'll not betray.
I'll not shed one tear for all my life,
For ever more, for ever more.

Sound tow'rs will crumble down,
I see ev'rything is broken down.
His heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
We need a miracle joy, we need a miracle boy,
A rock and roll toy, a rock and roll joy,
a rock and roll boy!

Now I know what's up for game.
What's up for grabs, what's down again.
See all for me is crashing down,
The end of ev'rything, ev'ry decent human being.
Oh no no shame. All my life I'll not betray.
I'll shed all my fears all my life,
For ever more, for ever more.

Sound tow'rs will crumble down,
Well, ev'rything will be broke down.
See, his heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
We need a miracle joy, we need a rock and roll boy,
I need a rock and roll joy, a rock and roll toy,
a rock and roll boy!

The road is long and it lingers on.
But my eyes are dim, my breath is weak
And tears stain my filthy cheeks.

Sound tow'rs will crumble down,
I see ev'rything is broken down.
Well my heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
I need a miracle joy, I need a miracle now,
That rock and roll boy!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, I'm hangin' on a miracle tree,
yeah, hangin' like a noose for you and me.
Yeah! Said yeah! Right now!
