Charmed Lives
Charmed lives
Nothing much to do tonight
Charmed lives
Oh no, oh no
Charmed lives
I think I'll do my hair tonight
Charmed lives
Cos it's so, it's so
Well, it's OK, it's OK, it's OK
But it drives me insane
Can't do a thing with it
Look at it
This way and that
Pile it up?
Spray it on?
Grease it straight back?
Charmed lives
Nothing much to do today
Oh no, oh no
Think I'll see some friends today
Cos they're so...they're so...
Yeah they're OK, they're OK, they're OK
And we all think the same
Cos we're on the phone
Hear the news
It's all grief and gloom
Yes things are bad
Really bad
But we're clearly immune
We lead
Charmed lives
Nothing much to do tonight
Charmed lives
Oh no, oh no
Charmed lives
I think I'll do my hair tonight
Charmed lives
Cos it's so, it's so
Well, it's OK, it's OK, it's OK
But it drives me insane

b/w No Hiding Place
You'd like to be something
But you don't know what
Why are you hiding your head
Like some human Angkor Wat?
Then you fall down on your knees
And you begin to pray
But spiritually speaking
You're an easy lay
That's what they say
Sooner or later
You'll get your kid
I don't know when
But I hope for your sake it's quick
Don't turn your head away from the searchlight glare
Like a rabbit in the headlights
But you can't be sick or scared
When there's no hiding place
Well I've seen you naked and I prefer you dressed
And I've seen you withou makeup
And I wasn't impressed
So what? So nothing, don't be upset
It's not what you've got, it's what you're gonna get
So take a lesson from me that can't be learned
It's not what you spend it's what you've earned
Does your stomach feel small, do your sinus ache?
You're trying to dream when you should be wide awake
When there's no hiding place
