If I had the chance, love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all things I never said before
Don’t tell me it’s too late
‘Cause I’ve relied on my illusions
To keep me warm at night
And I’ve denied in my capacity to love
But I am willing to give up this fight
I’ve been up all night drinking
To drown my sorrow down
But nothing seems to help me since you went away
I’m so tired of this town
Where every tongue is wagging
When every back is turned
They’re telling secrets that should never be revealed
There’s nothing to be gained from this but disaster
Here’s a good one
Did you hear about my friend?
He’s embarrassed to be seen now
‘Cause we all know his sins
If I had the chance, love
You know I would not hesitate
To tell you all the things I’d never said before
Don’t tell me it’s too late
‘Cause I’ve relied on my illusions
To keep me warm at night
I denied in my capacity to love
I am willing to give up this fight
Oh, I am willing to give up this fight
When I get high I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car’s a drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Always got the cops coming after me
Custom-built bike doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Oh, are you ready girls?
Oh, are you ready now?
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah, baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby, yeah
Skydive naked from an aeroplane
Or a lady with a body from outer space
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Say I got trouble, trouble in my eyes
I’m just looking for another good time
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Yeah, are you ready girls?
Yeah, are you ready now, now, now?
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah, baby, whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby
When we started this band
All we needed, needed was a laugh
Years gone by, I’d say we’ve kicked some ass
When I’m enraged or hittin’ the stage
Adrenaline rushing through my veins
And I’d say we’re still kickin’ ass
I say, ooh ah, kick start my heart
I hope it never stops
And to think, we did all of this to rock
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah, b-b-b-b-b-b-baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah
Okay boys, let’s rock the house
That’s all
Kickstart my heart
The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your whole body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
Lost is how I’m feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside’s too much to take
That all ends when I’m with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I’m far away
Never wonder where I am
‘Cause I am always by your side
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can’t go on
Is light years away
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love
The power of love
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love
As I look in your eyes
The power of love
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn’t give in
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale, cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me, it’s so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
(spoken) Ladies and gentlemen, brethren and sinners all! I call upon our Goddess of the Virtues to give us her well known rendition of the old school song — Oom-Pah-Pah!
NANCY
(spoken) All right, shut up, you lot! A bit of culture now! ‘Ere we go…
(sung) There’s a little ditty
They’re singing in the city
Ecspecilly when they’ve been
On the gin
Or the beer
If you’ve got the patience
Your own imaginations
Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear…
ALL
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That’s how it goes
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev’ryone knows
NANCY
They all suppose what they want to suppose
When they hear… oom-pah-pah!!
Mister Percy Snodgrass
Would often have the odd glass —
But never when he thought anybody could see
Secretly he’d buy it
And drink it on the quiet
And dream he was an Earl
Wiv a girl on each knee!
CUSTOMERS AND NANCY
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That’s how it goes
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev’ryone knows…
NANCY
What is the cause of his red shiny nose?
Could it be… oom-pah-pah!?
Pretty little Sally
Goes walking down the alley
Displays her pretty ankles to all of the men
They could see her garters
But not for free-and-gratis–
An inch or two, and then she knows
When to say when!
ALL
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That’s how it goes
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev’ryone knows…
NANCY
Whether it’s hidden, or whether it shows —
It’s the same… oom-pah-pah!
She was from the country
But now she’s up a gum-tree —
She let a feller beat ‘er, then lead ‘er along
What’s the good o’ cryin’?
She’s made a bed to lie in
She’s glad to bring the coin in
And join in this song!
ALL
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That’s how it goes!
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev’ryone knows
NANCY
She is no longer the same blushing rose
Ever since … oom-pah-pah!
(spoken) Altogether now!
NANCY
(sung) There’s a little ditty
They’re singing in the city
Espeshly when they’ve been
On the gin
Or the beer
If you’ve got the patience
Your own imaginations
Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear…
COMPANY
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That’s how it goes
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!

They all suppose what they want to suppose
When they hear… oom-pah-pah!!

I feel your heat in dusty whispers
The wind is cold around your moon
It’s getting hard to keep our distance
I know your time is coming soon
Don’t point your dream on my horizon
Don’t take your rose too far from home
Please don’t forget we’re not each other
Each soul has black thorns of his own
I see you dancing
Your song is clear
You’ve got to show me, got to show me
There’s nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
I have my loved ones you have yours
So let us gaze upon the feast
In God’s own name let’s eat together
In God’s own name please come in peace
See how our children play together
While you and me we stand alone
I know we’ll never be each other
If I leave you leave me alone
I see you dancing
Your song is clear
You’ve got to show me, got to show me
There’s nothing to fear
Nothing to fear
