Whose Side Are You On? Lyrics

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

One empty place, at a table for two,
Our agent in Rome, A cafe rendez-vous
The seat is soon taken, contact is made,
Surveyed by another whose secret is safe

Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?

The courier falls, the coffee was drugged,
The waiter makes off with the microdot.
You don't have to believe to play that double cross,
Spying for the side that pays the most.

Whose side are you on?...  (repeated many times)

Who's that someone on the inside, an undercover mole?
Too late to use a lie detector, now some heads will roll.


MORE THAN I CAN BEAR Thought that I was over you. How I was mistaken - Why did I bump into you, And start this chain reaction? I felt it building up inside When suddenly it was more than I could bear, more than I could bear. When I saw you walking down the road with someone new, I couldn't believe that it was true, it was true I find it hard to sleep at night, This jealousy is burning bright - Visions of somebody else Torment me to destruction. I think of him making, making love to you And it's more than I can bear, more than I can bear. When I saw you walking down the road with someone new, I couldn't believe that it was true, it was true. When I saw you walking down the road with someone new, I closed my eyes, I know I'm over you, over you.
NO NO NEVER Come closer to me, drift into my melody Don't resist my charms, when you could be in my arms. Let your inhibitions go, let me take control, Come closer to me, come closer to me. Let your inhibitions go, body and soul, Come closer to me... cha cha cha. No no never, no no never, no no never, no no never. Come closer to me, step into this harmony. Don't deprive yourself to a helping of myself. Let your inhibitions go,... etc. Give in to, give in to - no no never, no never. Give in to the crazy beat
HALF A MINUTE What is there to say When all the love has slipped away In half a minute. There is always something we can blame, But in the end, it's just the same - Suddenly, you find yourself alone. Half a minute Half a minute What is there to say When every dream just fades away In half a minute. Every explanation we can find Will never change it, we are through - Suddenly, you find yourself alone. Half a minute Half a minute
GET OUT OF YOUR LAZY BED Get up, get up, get out of your lazy bed Before I count to three, step to it, baby. She goes out every night 'til the morning is light And she sleeps all day. So come on, get up, I won't say it again, I'll drag you out. Get up, get up, get out of your lazy bed Before I count to three, step to it, baby. I don't care any more, you can sleep on the floor, 'Cos I'm locking you out, So come on, get up, I won't say it again I'll drag you out Get up! Get up, get up, get up, get out of your lazy bed Get up, get up, get out of your lazy bed (repeated several times)
IT'S GETTING LATE Come right in and close the door, Let me take your coat, get comfortable. I'll go and put some music on. Would you like a drink, cigarette? I have to say you're very beautiful this evening, Come over here and sit by me. I don't know, it's getting late, I have to go I'd like to stay but, I really have to go The night is young, you don't have to go, Another drink, just take it slow And we can get to know one another. I don't know, it's getting late, I have to go I'd like to stay but, I really have to go. Maybe some other time, the answer is no! I never, I never, no no I never, I never, I never, I never said I would. I don't know, it's getting late, I have to go Maybe some other time, the answer is no! I don't know, it's getting late, I have to go I'd like to stay but, I really have to go. I don't know, it's getting late, I have to go Maybe some other time, still the answer is no! I don't know, it's getting late, I have to go
SNEAKING OUT THE BACK DOOR I don't stay long when things are going wrong I haven't got time, you see. Moving from place to place, another town, a different face You may find me Sneaking out the back door with a grin. Love, I've had it before, it nailed me to the floor, I prefer my own company. Love to me is being free with no responsibility, So you may find me Sneaking out the back door with a grin. Just another drink and I'll be on my way, Sneaking through the back door with a grin. I move along when things are going wrong, So you may find me Sneaking out the back door with a grin. Sneaking out the back door with a grin. Sneaking out the back door with a grin. Sneaking out the back door with a grin. Sneaking out the back door with a grin. Sneaking out the back door with a grin. Sneaking out the back door with a grin.
RIDING WITH THE WIND You see I've got this funny feeling That all my plans and expectations Wait somewhere for me. I hung around this sorry town And had my shares of ups and downs And now it's time to leave. Riding with the wind, In search of just one thing, Riding with the wind. You see I've got this funny feeling That you and I will be leaving On the midnight line, Pack up all your cares and woes And come with me to heaven knows And see what we can see. Riding with the wind, In search of just one thing, Riding with the wind. Riding with the wind, In search of just one thing, Riding with the wind.
