Moscow night life
You touch my heart
Got no Red Square connections
We're worlds apart
But if things were different
We could meet by the wall
But foreign relations
Are oh so cold
Young and Russian
You're so young and Russian
In the shade of the Kremlin
My allegiance was sealed
I've changed my direction
Now the truth is revealed
The state will protect us
And the world can be ours
But foreign relations
Can be oh so hard
Young and Russian
You're so young and Russian
You're young and Russian
In your furry hat
You're young and Russian.
Baby that's where it's at
Young and Russian
You're so young and Russian
I JUST CAN'T HELP IT (Andy Davis)
I try so hard but still I give the game away
Cos I can't believe you make me feel so good
I wouldn't wanna hide the truth from you
Even if I could
Cos I love you
Honest I do
And you know I can't help it
Believe me there's no use in fighting now
You only have to speak and I'll give in
My only hope is that some day you'll know
The happiness you bring
CHINESE GIRL (Andy Davis)
Dark eyes
Black hair
Fascinating
Motivating
But take-away love
Ain't that available
Maybe I'll get me a Chinese girl
Won't somebody find me a Chinese girl
They're different from us
Much more civilized
And they know how to cook
And look after a guy
But take-away love
Ain't that available
Maybe I'll get me a Chinese girl
Won't somebody find me a Chinese girl
Gonna wrap her tight
In silver foil
And I'll warm her up
When I get home
But take-away love
Ain't that available
Maybe I'll get me a Chinese girl
Won't somebody find me a Chinese girl
Chinese girl, Chinese girl
Fascinating, motivating
Chinese girl, Chinese girl
ART SCHOOL ANNEXE (Andy Davis)
The night porter - He ain't got no heart
No joking when you're out after dark
Rude thoughts inside his little head
Bet he'd like to tuck you up in bed
Oh baby let me turn on your light
Cos I'm a big boy and I can stay up all night
And after all, you've come a long way too
So sweet and tender it'll be with you
And I'll be there in the Art School Annexe
Just say the word and there'll be no panic
If you'll just let me in to your hall of residence
And I'll prove my innocence Oh Yeh!
Oh baby do you know how I feel?
Won't you let me take you out for a meal
And when it's over we can jump on a bus
Take me home and I won't make a fuss
And I'll be there in the Art School Annexe
Just say the word and there'll be no panic
If you'll just let me in to your hall of residence
And I'll prove my innocence Oh Yeh!
BOOTS AND SHOES (Andy Davis & James Warren)
You're my friend I hear you say
But I can't see you anyway
You keep that sack on your head all day
And when you dance you never sweat
You do the hustle like a minuet
You're the strangest thing on two legs that I've ever met
No I don't wanna Prima Donna in drag
And I can never imagine why
You always keep on
Your boots and shoes
You're sweet kid but you can't stand to lose
You keep on your boots and shoes
You're a neat kid
You're losing weight to keep in trim
Your friends all wonder how you stay so slim
But you forget about the state that I'm in
Everyday you count your gains
Amino acid pumping through your veins
You say you're liberated but you're in chains
No I don't wanna Prima Donna in drag
And I can never imagine why
You always keep on
Your boots and shoes
You're sweet kid but you can't stand to lose
You keep on your boots and shoes
You're a neat kid
But you can't stand to lose
You just can’t stand it
DIRTY POSTCARDS (James Warren)
I thought it was a joke when you called me up
And said you needed ironing
There were creases in your facial lining
Won't you have a little rest when they turn out the lights
A nice cup of tea and you'll be feeling alright
Don't fret, you'll recover yet you'll see
So keep on sending dirty postcards back to me
Back to me, back to me
I thought it was a lark when you phoned my dad
And told him that you'd have to catch the measles
You're flesh was being ripped to shreds by weasels
Won't you have a little rest when they turn out the lights
A nice cup of tea and you'll be feeling alright
Don't fret, you'll recover yet you'll see
So keep on sending dirty postcards back to me
Back to me, back to me
T'was on the Norfolk Broads
We were punting one day
You received a nasty bump on the head
And you've never been the same since needless to say
How I wish it could have been me instead
I wish it could have been me instead
I thought it was a prank when you wired the Pope
To say you'd a vision of an aardvaark
Who was perpetrating ghastly deeds with St Mark
Won't you have a little rest when they turn out the lights
A nice cup of tea and you'll be feeling alright
Don't fret, you'll recover yet you'll see
So keep on sending dirty postcards back to me
Back to me, back to me
O MAXINE (James Warren)
O Maxine don't ever leave me
Though you make love in a matter of fact way
When you're not here I hardly know what to say
O Maxine, don't ever worry
Though the future sometimes look a little grim
I'll give you much more than ever you'll get from him
Listen to me now
When we first met I thought you did not notice
You called me Phil not Otis
Ain't that really just too much
I felt so touched
I'd never known a lady act so strangely
I thought you might derange me
You always go for spotty youths
Ain't that the truth
O Maxine don't ever leave me
Though you make love in a matter of fact way
When you're not here I hardly know what to say
O Maxine, don't ever worry
Though the future sometimes look a little grim
I'll give you much more than ever you'll get from him
Listen to me now
I walked you out
You told me to unhand you
Forced me to command you
To show a little care
And love I can't get enough
But I'll take my time to charm you with my favors
And you'll forget those schoolboy ravers
To see I really am the best you'll ever get
O Maxine don't ever leave me
Though you make love in a matter of fact way
When you're not here I hardly know what to say
O Maxine, don't ever worry
Though the future sometimes look a little grim
I'll give you much more than ever you'll get from him
Listen to me now
MOUNT EVEREST SINGS THE BLUES (James Warren)
I don't wanna cause a rumpus
I don't mean to be unfair
But life is oh so rarified
Breathing Himalayan air
I'm older than the hills
I've had my thrills and spills
People climb me
They may succeed
But do they ever stop to cater for my needs
The earth begin to quake
Hear Mount Everest sing the blues
I never think of having children
It's so hard to find a mate
I would propose to Fujiyama
But would she ever take my weight
The sun won't melt my snow
My roses just won't grow
And being famous is quite a strain
I'd really love to take a holiday in Spain
The earth begin to quake
Hear Mount Everest sing the blues
People say that I am fearless
Nobody dare to pick a fight
I've been accused of racial prejudice
I’m so upright and white (all night)
And man you just can win
Sherpa's ask me why I don't grin
But would they like it to be so cold
Not only that but immeasurably old
The earth begin to quake
Hear Mount Everest sing the blues
COLD TEA (James Warren)
The shoe-shine was cool
He'd sussed out the scene
Scratch was nobody's fool
He'd always come clean
If this was a frame-up
Who built the frame?
Was this the big pay-off
Or some crapulous game
I know you think I'm going thru' it
But babe don't weep
I didn't do it
The light was dim, I never knew it's a sin
To drink cold tea
That pig he was rough
Trailed us right round the block
Enid stashed all her stuff
Behind the grandfather clock
If this was the show-down
Who wrote the show?
Was he the big con-man
Or some cadaverous crow
I know you think I'm going thru' it
But babe don't weep
I didn't do it
The light was dim, I never knew it's a sin
To drink cold tea
IF I HAD YOU (Andy Davis)
The other day I saw you walking
You looked as pretty as a peach
You looked so near but yet somehow
You're out of reach
I would change the world
If I had you
I would change the world
If I had you
My daddy told me not to worry
He said, son it always comes
To he who waits
But as I wait, I feel sometimes
Oh no, it's too late
I would change the world
If I had you
I would change the world
If I had you
I could change the world
If I had you
I could change the world
If I had you
