No Jacket Required

There’s this girl that’s been on my mind
All the time, Sussudio oh oh
Now she don’t even know my name
But I think she likes me just the same
Sussudio oh oh

Oh if she called me I’d be there
I’d come running anywhere
She’s all I need, all my life
I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio, just say the word
Oh Sussudio

Now I know that I’m too young
My love has just begun
Sussudio oh oh
Ooh give me a chance, give me a sign
I’ll show her anytime
Sussudio oh oh

Ah, I’ve just got to have her, have her now
I’ve got to get closer but I don’t know how
She makes me nervous and makes me scared
But I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio just say the word
Oh Sussudio, oh

Ah, she’s all I need all of my life
I feel so good if I just say the word
Sussudio I just say the word
Oh Sussudio I just say the word
Oh Sussudio I’ll say the word
Sussudio oh oh oh
Just say the word

We know you really only wanna hear
The things we like to say
But if I said to you please don’t do it
You do it anyway
Sometimes I know, we gotta be cruel
Be cruel to be kind
When I ask you, what you see in me
You say our love is blind

Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say

Whenever I think I know you better
Better than I know myself
I open up and give you everything
Then you say, O.K. what else
And when I run away you always cry
You always over react
But I don’t know if you know how you really feel
But you better know before I get back

Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say

Just try to remember
Now I’m the one you love
You told me, ooh try to remember
I’m the one you’re always thinking of
You told me, please try to remember
Before I walk away
Remember
It’s not good enough telling me the way it was yesterday

Cos only you know and I know
The things we mean to say
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say, yes
Only you know and I know
The things we mean to say

Only you know and I know…

(Collins)

While I sit here trying to think of things to say
Someone lies bleeding in a field somewhere
So it would seem we’ve still got a long long way to go
I’ve seen all I wanna see today

While I sit here trying to move you anyway I can
Someone’s son lies dead in a gutter somewhere
And it would seem that we’ve got a long long way to go
But I can’t take it anymore

Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off it will go away
Turn it off if you want to
Switch it off or look away

While I sit and we talk and talk and we talk some more
Someone’s loved one’s heart stops beating in a street somewhere
So it would seem we’ve still got a long long way to go, I know
I’ve heard all I wanna hear today

Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off it will go away (switch it off it will go away)
Turn it off if you want to (turn it off if you want to)
Switch it off or look away (switch it off or look away)

Switch it off
Turn it off

(Collins/Stuermer)

It’s over, oh yes it’s all over
And it’s been a long time coming
Some say it’s too long
She said it, and now she’ll regret it
But if she’d ask anyone
I know they’ll tell her to her face, that it’s too late

Cos I don’t wanna know
No, I don’t wanna know
She can cry all she wants
She’s not gonna bring me back, no no
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
She can try all she wants
It’s not gonna get me back, oh oh, no no

They warned me
Oh yes they all warned me
They told me, don’t lose your heart to her
She’ll never give it back, no no
Oh it’s too late
She made a big mistake
It wouldn’t be the first one anyway
Tell me how many more, no no no

No I don’t wanna know (what she said)
No I don’t wanna know (what she said)
She can cry all she wants
She’s not gonna bring me back, no no
I don’t wanna know (what she said)
No I don’t wanna know (what she said)
She can try all she wants
It’s not gonna get me back, oh oh, no no

It’s over
Oh oh it’s all over
And it’s been a long time coming
Some say it’s too long, oh oh
They warned me
Yes they all warned me
They told me, now don’t lose your head to her
She’ll never give it back, no no, no no

I don’t wanna know (what she said)
No I don’t wanna know (what she said)
She can cry all she wants
She’s not gonna get me back, no no
I don’t wanna know (what she said)
No I don’t wanna know (what she said)
She can try all she wants
She’s not gonna bring me back, no no…

One more night, one more night
I’ve been trying ooh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night, give me one more night
One more night cos I can’t wait forever
Give me just one more night, oh just one more night
Oh one more night cos I can’t wait forever

I’ve been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you’re not alone

Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can’t wait forever
Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can’t wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can’t wait forever

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can’t wait forever
I know there’ll never be a time you’ll ever feel the same
And I know it’s only words
But if you change your mind you know that I’ll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can’t wait forever
Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can’t wait forever

They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
“I’m never coming back”
They heard him cry
And I believe him
Well he never meant to do anything wrong
It’s gonna get worse if he waits too long

Billy, Billy don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere
That I can find you
Oh now Billy, Billy don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere that I can find you, oh no

Searching through the day and into the night
They wouldn’t stop till they found him
They didn’t know him and they didn’t understand
They never asked him why
“Get out of my way”
They heard him shout
Then a blinding light
Ooh all I could see was him running down the street
Out of the shadows and into the night

Now Billy, Billy don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere that I can find you, oh

Don’t give up
Keep running, keep hiding
Don’t give up
Billy, if you know you’re right
Don’t give up
You know that I am on your side
Don’t give up
Oh Billy, you better, you better, you better run for your life

Now Billy, Billy don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere that I can find you, oh

They came at night leaving fear behind
Shadows were on the ground
Nobody knew where to find him
No evidence was found
“I’m never coming back”
They heard him cry
And I believe him
He never meant to do anything wrong
It’s gonna get worse if he waits too long

Now Billy, Billy don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere
That I can find you, oh
Now Billy, Billy don’t you lose my number
Cos you’re not anywhere that I can find you, oh

I know she says she wants me
I hear it every day
And I know she know it keeps me
Well there ain’t no other way
But she’s got a heart must be made of stone
Cos when I tell her that she’ll miss me when I’m gone

She says
Who said I would
She knows it ain’t easy for a simple boy like me
She fills me full of loving
Oh then she sets me free
But she’s got a heart must be made of stone
Cos when I tell her that she’ll miss me when I’m gone

She says
Who said I would, tell me, who said I would
Who said I would, who said I would

I’m not the only one but I do fine
I suit her purpose and I’m just her kind
I don’t own her and I never could
Don’t think I do, don’t think I should

Tell me
Who said I would, who said I would

But she’s got a heart must be made of stone
And when I tell her that she’ll miss me when I’m gone

You’re not the only one but you do fine
You suit my purpose and you’re just my kind
You don’t own me and you never could
Don’t think you do, don’t think you should

Who said I would (who said I would)
Now she knows when she calls me
I’ll come running every time
And she knows she gets me hot
But she don’t know it’s her body never mine

And she’s got a heart must be made of stone
Cos when I tell her that she’ll miss me when I’m gone
She says
Who said I would, tell me, who said I would
Who said I would, who said I would

(Collins/Stuermer)

You keep on walking so you don’t fall down
It’s the same old story
You keep on hiding so you can’t be found
It’s the same old story
Oh but I know you, you’re the one who ran
You know why, it’s because you can, oh
It’s alright, cos I don’t mind
I’m just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesn’t anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn’t anybody stay together anymore

My friends keep falling and they can’t get up
It’s the same old story
Well one says white and the other one black
It’s the same old story
And I don’t know why you keep emotions walled up
Your heart’s on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But it’s alright, cos I don’t mind
I’m just trying to help, but I wonder why
Doesn’t anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn’t anybody stay together anymore

Things can change, from a misunderstanding
Nobody talks, nobody hears, oh oh oh
Makes me wonder why, doesn’t anybody stay together anymore
Oh I wonder why, doesn’t anybody stay together anymore

You keep on looking for that higher ground
It’s the same old story
Your glass is empty and the chips are down
It’s the same old story
But I don’t know why, your emotions walled up
Your heart’s on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But it’s alright, cos I don’t mind
I’m just trying to help, but I wonder why

Doesn’t anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn’t anybody stay together anymore
Oh I wonder why, doesn’t anybody stay together anymore

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

Now everybody keeps on telling me how to be
And everybody tells me do what they say
Oh I’ll help myself it’s up to me and no-one else
But till I’m ready just keep out of my way

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

Now everybody’s got me running round, up and down
And here I am going out of my mind
But I won’t lose sight of all the, the things I’m looking for
They’re coming to me and I’m taking what’s mine

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

I’ll play the game
We’ll make the same mistakes
It’s all the same
If we can give and take
Hold on, hold on, ooh
Hold on, hold on, ooh

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

All of my life I’ve been searching and hanging on
Turning a corner, never know what I’d find
But now I’m back again like I never went away
Ooh let me in I’m through with wasting my time

Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Oh inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

(Collins)

Take that look of worry
I’m an ordinary man
They don’t tell me nothing
So I find out what I can
There’s a fire that’s been burning
Right outside my door
I can’t see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So I, I don’t mind
No I, I don’t mind

Seems so long I’ve been waiting
Still don’t know what for
There’s no point escaping
I don’t worry anymore
I can’t come out to find you
I don’t like to go outside
They can’t turn off my feelings
Like they’re turning off a light
But I, I don’t mind
No I, I don’t mind
Oh I, I don’t mind
No I, I don’t mind

So take, take me home
Cos I don’t remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don’t remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don’t remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Cos I’ve been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

Take that look of worry, mine’s an ordinary life
Working when it’s daylight
And sleeping when it’s night
I’ve got no far horizons
I don’t wish upon a star
They don’t think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
And I, I don’t mind
No I, I don’t mind
Oh I, I don’t mind
No I, I don’t mind

So take, take me home
Cos I don’t remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don’t remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don’t remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Well I’ve been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

But I don’t remember
Take, take me home…

We said goodbye to a dear old friend
And we packed our bags and left feeling sad
It’s the only way
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile
It’s the only way
Only way

Turn your head
And don’t look back
Set your sails for a new horizon
Don’t turn around don’t look down
Oh there’s life across the tracks
And you know it’s really not surprising
It gets better when you get there oh

Well it really don’t matter much where you are
Cos home is in your heart
It’s a feeling that you wake with one day
Some people key p running all their life
And still find they haven’t gone too far
They don’t see it’s the feeling inside – the feeling inside oh

Turn your head and don’t look back
Just set your sails for a new horizon
Don’t turn around don’t look down
Oh there’s life across the tracks
And you know it’s really not surprising
It gets better when you get there

We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile – it’s the only way
