THE PEEL SESSIONS The Lyrics

LISTENING IN


I was sitting on my own
No one rang so I picked up the phone
Then I heard your voice
I was listening in

You were talking in the hall
I wasn`t there but I heard it all
Nothing I could do
Just listening in

On the carpet you`re so small
Who had you covered wall to wall
Nothing I could do
Just listening in

Now you`re gone any your line`s dead
Nothing I can do instead
No more
No more
No more listening in


FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT


So you think you`re so clever never in doubt
But I`ve seen you two together fooling about
Don`t get me wrong now I`ve seen what you are
Mummy wouldn`t like it it`s gone too far

Got to
Keep it in the family
Like to
Keep it in the family
Have to
Keep it in the family
Want to
Keep it in the family

Playing with the devil it`s your favourite thing
Never trying to hide it there`s no shame
Something discovered what will you do then
Family entertainment will come to an end

Got to
Keep it in the family
Like to
Keep it in the family
Have to
Keep it in the family
Want to
Keep it in the family

Keep it in the family 


BILLY`S THIRD


If you say no 
it would break my heart in two
But don`t you realise
There`s too many watching you

We`re making too many problems
Making matters worse
Maybe it`s a curse
But oh baby it`s hurts
But oh baby it`s hurts

Don`t look down cos if you do
you won`t see what`s in front of you
Can`t turn your back on me this time
Cos if you do I won`t mind

We`re making too many problems
Making matters worse
Maybe it`s a curse
But oh baby it`s hurts
But oh baby it`s hurts

If you say no 
If you say no 

We`re making too many problems
Making matters worse
Maybe it`s a curse
But oh baby it`s hurts
But oh baby it`s hurts


HERE COMES THE SUMMER


Oh baby baby what can I do
You know you drive me crazy when I`m looking at you
The summer`s really here and it`s time to come out
Time to discover what fun is about

Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer

Keep looking for the girls with their faces all tanned
Lying on the beaches all covered in sand
Stretching out their long legs lying in the sun
They know they`re beautiful they`re having fun

Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer


GIRLS THAT DON`T TALK


Caroline`s dancing
Catina`s at home
You get up every morning
Taking lessons on the phone

Girls that don`t talk
Girls that don`t talk
Girls that don`t talk
Girls that don`t talk

Sandra`s at school
It`s another late night
She comes home quiet
Cos her mummy`s up tight

Girls that don`t talk
Girls that don`t talk
Girls that don`t talk
Girls that don`t talk

Girls that don`t talk
Still can`t see
When they come home from work
And waste their toungues on me


TEARPROOF


She`s a girl in a million
And does what a million girls do
Every so slightly
Finger tipped tightly to

Tearproof
Tearproof

First in the phone book
Who looks such nice girl now
Magazine madness
Guaranteed to show you how

Tearproof
Tearproof

What ever you fancy
A borderline case took down
An American hostess
Don`t take a chance to be around

Tearproof
Tearproof


WHAT`S WITH TERRY


We begin the sad tale when Terry was young
When Enid Blyton proved lots of fun
But his vision didn`t dim his adventurous nights
He read the Secret Seven under artificial lights

Oh dear what`s with Terry
Oh dear it`s not right
The local girls are not so pretty
But they all look the same through Terry`s sight

Then came the day Terry always did dread
Christmas had come a present lay on his bed
A Johnny 7 or a cuddly toy
No harm them glasses fit for a boy

Oh dear what`s with Terry
Oh dear it`s not right
The local girls are not so pretty
But they all look the same through Terry`s sight

Wearing glasses never became the craze
So the years they passed in a hazy daze
Even at matches he`d shout and roar
Pretending he`d seen another George Best goal

Being Joe 90 has proved a success
But he`s no Clark Gable never the less
They found the answer to this classic case
It wasn`t the glasses it`s his horrible face

Oh dear what`s with Terry
Oh dear it`s not right
The local girls are not so pretty
But they all look the same through Terry`s sight


ROCK AND ROLL


Can you still recall
In the jukebox hall
Where the music played
And the world spun round
To a brand new sound
In those far off days
In their blue suede shoes
They would scream and shout
Sing the blues
And let it all hang out

Rock And Roll
Hey
Rock And Roll
Rock And Roll
Rock
Rock and Roll

Little Queenie bopped out
Of the high school hop
Dancing to this beat
With the US mail
In a pony tail
With a look such sweet
The times are changing fast
And we all know that
Sooner or later we`ll be rocking yeah

Rock And Roll
Hey
Rock And Roll
Rock And Roll
Rock
Rock and Roll


UNTOUCHABLE


I can`t deny these foolish hands of mine
Have towed me in the dark
A collision course that has hit the rocks
Has now pierced my heart
I`m stricken down by deceptive moves
What`s meant is meant to be
Who`d try console a losing side
When that losing side is me

So now I`ll go step out of line
The untouchable is a touch too fine
A crazy lust that strips me bare
A tarnished whim that just will not wear

I`ve witnessed sin that made me swallow deep
And haunt me till I`m dead
A silent voice that only speaks the truth
Is gagged and bound instead


THE LOVE PARADE


My heart`s lost since you`ve been gone
But you`re not the guilty one
I`ll go back and pick another girl again
Close my eyes cos I know that they`re all the same

At the love parade
At the love parade
At the love parade
At the love parade

We were lovers from the start
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of our love
But since then we`ve grown apart
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of our love
Nothing now can make us lovers and we know
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of our love
So the two of us are going to see just what`s on show
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of it

At the love parade
At the love parade
At the love parade
At the love parade

It takes it`s time passing by
And gives a chance for the loving eye
So see a face and let the body try
To get them moving side by side

We were lovers from the start
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of our love
But since then we`ve grown apart
What`s the point of it 
What`s the point of our love
Nothing now can make us lovers and we know
What`s the point of it 
What`s the point of our love
So the two of us are going to see just what`s on show
What`s the point of it
What`s the point of it


LUXURY


If I was having such a good time
It wasn`t really that much fun
A counterfeit conspiracy
That`s suddenly gone wrong

So come on
Come on
You`re a luxury
A peculiar luxury
It always breaks my heart
You can keep your mystery
It doesn`t mean a thing to me

Painted lips and l`oreal
Are broadcast in the dark
A necessary cover up
That`s finally left it`s mark

So come on
Come on
You`re a luxury
A peculiar luxury
It always breaks my heart
You can keep your mystery
It doesn`t mean a thing to me

Your sneaky little schemes that show
The wolf`s still at your door
A vicious little paragon
Of what you were before

So come on
Come on
You`re a luxury
A peculiar luxury
It always breaks my heart
You can keep your mystery
It doesn`t mean a thing to me


THE SIN OF PRIDE


The sin of pride keeps me from walking away
Don`t walk away
To join the lines of gods who think of nothing to say
Think what to say

The talk of war won`t scare my intentions away
Don`t walk away
But talk of love and kiss these ribbons today
Think what to say

The cost of love might make these presents seem small
Don`t walk away
But with the thoughts inside that wouldn`t matter at all
Think what to say

And I`ve lost all my friends to be yours
But pride`ll still meet me I`m sure
And stop me from feeling so hurt

Pride`ll still meet
Wanting my love
Come closer love
To want me
Come closer love
Keeping that love
Come closer love
Just for me
Come closer love

I`ve lost all my friends to be yours
But pride`ll still meet me I`m sure
And stop me from feeling so hurt

The sin of pride keeps me from walking away
Don`t walk away
But keeps inside the things I wanted to say
Think what to say

A look of love leads me from hate to despair
Don`t walk away
I look at love it says I shouldn`t be there
Think what to say

So she goes again
