The one good thing in my life
Has gone away

Mutual friends I see sometime

Woo who who who
I want to hear she wants me near

Good thing
Where have you gone
Doo doo doobie doo
My good thing
You've been gone too long
Good thing

fine young cannibals - suspicious minds

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out

Because I love you too much
baby.
Why can't you see what you're doin' to me

When you don't believe a word I'm sayin'?

We can't go on together with suspicious minds;
And we can't build our dreams on suspicious minds.

I saw an old friend I know
I stop and say hello

Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?
Here you go again
ask me where I've been

You can't see the tears I've cried -
tears I - tears I've cried.

We can't go on together with suspicious minds;
And we can't build our dreams on suspicious minds.

Oh
let out love survive
I'll dry the tears you cry.
Don't let this good thing die
you know

I have never lied to you
no
no
no !

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
. . .
We can't go on together with suspicious minds; . . .
We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
. . .
I'm caught in a trap and I can't walk out

fine young cannibals - i m not the man i used to be

When I'm in trouble or out of step
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there's a feeling I can't accept
There's one thing that helps me to forget
Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man I used to be

If life were easy and didn't ask,
didn't tease me or take things back
I could start to understand,
what makes me the man I am

Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man I used to be

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I'm not the man I used to be

I've lost dreams that won't come back,
memories fading fast
I should save the ones I have
What's the use?
Most of them are bad

Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man I used to be

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I can't explain
But I'm not the man I used to be
It's a shame, don't know my name
I can't explain
I'm not the man I used to be
Do you know my name?
Do you, do you need me?
But I'm not the man...

fine young cannibals - she drives me crazy

I can't stop
the way I feel
Things you do
don't seem real
Tell you what I got in mind
'cause we're runnin' out of time
Won't you ever set me free?
This waitin' 'rounds killin' me

She drives me crazy
like no one else
She drives me crazy
and I can't help myself

I can't get
any rest
People say
I'm obsessed
Everything that's serious lasts
But to me there's no surprise
What I have, I knew was true
Things go wrong, they always do

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

I won't make it,
On my own
No on likes,
To be alone

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

Uh huh huh

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

Uh huh huh

She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself

fine young cannibals - blue

Ooooohaaaah.
I?ve had a bad day, yeah.
My hometown is falling down, I?m mad about that.
And people there don?t seem to care, I?m mad about that.

Chorus:
Good god, all my tears
There?s no denying life
Would be better if I never ever had to live with you,
Blue - it?s a colour so cruel

Repeat chorus

Government has got me wrong, I?m mad about that.
And it makes me feel like I don?t belong, I?m mad about that.
It?s making life a misery, you would have taken the liberty
Government has got me wrong, I?m mad about that.

Chorus

Repeat chorus

There you go telling lies, it?s no surprise
I say a prayer, to make you care,
You wouldn?t listen
It?s been too long, it?s time you?re gone
Get away from here
I?ve had too much - but not enough
It?s time you left

Chorus x 3

fine young cannibals - as hard as it is

Life's been quiet since you've been gone
It's no fun burning for one
I was happy before you came
Now you've gone, it's just not the same

Lord know as hard as it is, as hard as it is
They know how hard it is
Lord knows as hard as it is, as hard as it is
He knows just how hard it is

I missed you bad, I want you now my darling,
It drives me mad not now having you

Lord know as hard as it is, as hard as it is
They know how hard it is
Lord knows as hard as it is, as hard as it is
He knows just how hard it is

fine young cannibals - funny how love is

**I go to places we used to go
I still see people we used to know
Friends they ask me where is she now
I have to tell them we're over now

**When at first you left I thought I'd surely die
I couldn't see a future without you by my side
We're not together but I'm still alive
I'd rather not see you for a really long time

Funny how love is
Funny how love is
Funny how love is

**I don't want your magazines I don't want your clothes
Take them from my house let me be alone
**Never try to catch me in or call me on the phone
Don't send me letters I don't want to know

**When at first you left I thought I'd surely die
I couldn't see a future without you by my side
We're not together but I'm still alive
I'd rather not see you for a really long time

Funny how love is
Funny how love is
Funny how love is

**Love is so funny; you sure put a joke on me
Funny how love is...

fine young cannibals - don t look back

Never had the good things only money can buy

I drive my car but I haven't got a car to drive.
Never had a holiday in the tropical sun

Good times look like they're never gonna come.
Oh

Don't be sad

Baby

don't look back
it won't do no good

Baby

I'm gonna leave and I think that you should.

I've spent my life in a place like this

on the first bus out I'm gonna get myself a lift.
If you wanna stay
well
that's alright

if you wanna go it's got to be tonight.
Oh
I know these times are bad and it makes you wanna cry

don't be sad
we'll get by.

Baby

it won't do no good

Baby

fine young cannibals - i m not satisfied

It's hard - can't afford to stop
Keep on working - till you're fit to drop
Then comes the weekend and my troubles go away
Monday morning brings them back again

No, no, no I'm not satisfied
Can't there be - more to life
I can't see - reasons why

Going steady - have been a while
Ain't ready - not by a mile
I try to tell her that I'm not he marrying kind
She tells me she's gonna change my mind

No, no, no I'm not satisfied
Can't there be - more to life
I can't see - reasons why

I want a place to go
I could go - leave these streets alone
Everywhere you go now is just misery
There's no hope living in this city

No, no, no I'm not satisfied
Can't there be - more to life
I can't see - reasons why

fine young cannibals - tell me what

Tell me what, tell me what
Tell me what I 've got to do

To make you notice, to make you look this way
What do I have to say
Tell me what, tell me what I have to say

To keep you with me, to make you want to stay
To have you every day
Tell me what, tell me what I gotta do

Are you happy, I can never tell
You keep it to yourself

Tell me what, tell me what it is you feel

Do you get frightened
Am I comin' on, just a little too strong
And you're so quiet, I never know or not
If I'm right or wrong

Tell me what, tell me what
Tell me what I gotta do

Is there something I ought to be told
Do you want to go
Tell me what, tell me what it is you know

So it's over, then we're really through?
What I heard is true
Tell me what, tell me what your gonna do

To keep you with me, to make you want to stay
Too have you every day
Tell me what, tell me what I've gotta do

fine young cannibals - it s ok

I've been looking for about an hour, for a place to drink
Trouble with this town, everyone's asleep
Me and my girlfriend, had another fight
Now she's gone and left me, in the middle of the night

It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night

If I've been looking for about an hour, for a place to drink
If I had a number, I'd give her a ring
I've got to, got to tell her, how sorry I am
If I get to see her, I know she'll understand

It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
And just you, and I, maybe we can make it right
If you're sure your answer's no,
Take you where you want to go
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night

I've been trying for an hour, to find the right words
I know what she's thinking, I know how it hurts

It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
And just you, and I, maybe we can make it right
If you're sure your answer's no,
I'll take you where you want to go

It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night
It's OK, it's alright, baby's staying one more night

fine young cannibals - johnny come home

Nobody knows the trouble you feel

Nobody cares the feeling is real.

Johnny
we're sorry
won't you come on home?
We worry
won't you come on?
What is wrong in my life that I must get drunk every night ?
Johnny
we're sorry.

Use the phone
call your mum - she's missing you badly

missing her so
Who do you know
where will you stay?
Big city life is not what they say.
Johnny
we're sorry
won't you come on home? . . .

You'd better go home
everything's closed

Can't find a room
money's all blown.
Nowhere to sleep out in the cold
nothing to eat
nowhere to go.
Johnny
we're sorry
won't you come on home? . . .

Won't you come on home ? We worry
won't you come on home ?
Johnny
won't you come on home? We worry -.

fine young cannibals - the flame

I remember being far from home, talking on the telephone
You told me it's over, you made up your mind
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind

I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame
Only leaves me in pain
Don't you know how much it hurts
You took all I had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
(Holding the flame)Once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
(Holding the flame)Once again

No matter what you say it hurts, you didn't have to make it worse
It would have been better had you told me yourself
Instead you left it to somebody else

Maybe I can understand, you've been staying with another man
Day isn't long, nights can be lonely
I wasn't there and you needed to hold me

I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame
Only leaves me in pain
Don't you know how much it hurts
You took all I had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
(Holding the flame)Once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
(Holding the flame)Once again

I remember being far from home, talking on the telephone
You told me it's over, you made up your mind
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind

I'm left holding the torch
And the heat from the flame
Only leaves me in pain
Don't you know how much it hurts
You took all I had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
(Holding the flame)Once again
I'm left holding the flame, here I am
(Holding the flame)Once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
(Holding the flame)Once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
(Holding the flame)Once again
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am

fine young cannibals - since you ve been gone

You left...our home
Didn?t see eye to eye
No matter how hard I try
I live...on my own
Still I don't seem to find
Any kind of peace of mind

Chorus
And I'm still looking for you...
Have you seen my baby?
That's all I want to do...
Have you seen her lately?
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now

My friends...at work
They tell me I should get away
Maybe take a holiday
They know...I hurt
Everyday, I get in late
Find it hard to concentrate

Chorus
And I'm still looking for you...
Have you seen my baby?
That's all I want to do...
Have you seen her lately?
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now

Can't sleep...don't eat
Sitting in a Smokey bar
Wondering where the hell you are
I watch...TV
Thrown away another day
Sitting in the Café all day

Chorus
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone now
Since you've been gone
Gone so long now...

fine young cannibals - don t let it get you down

When the friends can't be found
And the girl is out of town
I come home to an empty house
The telephone is all I have

When my plans don't work out
Mama says, don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down

There's a club I can't get in
Every week it's the same damn thing
I get mad I want to cry
it's my skin they don't like

When my plans don't work out
Mama says, don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down

Now my world don't look good
Not the way I know it should
And my time is running short
I didn't do all I ought

When my plans don't work out
Mama says, don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
