Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire) Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire) Run, run, run Run for your life (The Earth's on fire) Run for your life (The Earth's on fire) Run. run, run IT'S ONLY THE END OF THE WORLD Just as London got up and New York got to bed I was climbing the walls with a bomb in my head No time to change it (There was) No time to change it No time to change It, It's the end of the World I was a lonely one Holding up the end of the bar Just one more excuse to stick around Don't wanna travel too far Who turned on the radio "Here's the news and all of it's bad"--l guess it's that Someone told me it's only the end of the World I got up and got out, just a face in the street ( They gonna get you brother --you better run for Cover) Headlights cut through the night like a knife in the Deep (They gonna get you brother --you better run for Cover) No time to change it No time to change it No time to change it, it's the end of the World I got a feeling I've been living at the end of the line (They got love) Love on every station but mine Won't someone give me a sign (Lord get me outta here) Sorry if I wasted your time When you're lonely it's only the end of the World INTERRUPTED MELODY Bright young woman came running from home With her life in her hands 'cause they gave her such a Bad time Just a part-time lover and a full-time wife With her heart in the dark and her head out in the Daylight Every small-town mother had a rumour on her lips "I could tell she was trash from her head to her Fingertips Now and again when she disagreed It was an interrupted melody Shame was a runner for the lady to beat It left a fire in her belly and a pain in her feet Friends can be found on the lowest avenue You never ask for a name when they offer you a lean-to Now and again when she disagreed It was an interrupted melody Working the week-end--Tricks in the park Over exposure--meat for the sharks Turn out the headlights--Pull up the car Business for pleasure--life after dark There was Willie the Man with his wallet and charm He left a smile on her face and a mark in her arm And every Saturday night when the girls gave their Best He was hustling trade for the kid from out West Now and again when she disagreed Just an interrupted melody One thing she learned was never give It away They can take what they want just as long as they pay Now all that remains of that small-town life Is a letter from home and a look in her eye Now and again when she disagreed It was an interrupted melody Working the week-end--Tricks In the park Over exposure-- MODERN LOVE AFFAIR Who was it called this romance! The fool with feathers in his head A river to be sold down, the book that we both read An empty lounge in some hotel A fighter's thoughts before the bell The film we first held hands at A song that told us "No Regrets" We asked for Mother's handouts, you ask and we shall Get The money saved and money spent The early morning arguments Is this a modern love affair! Is this a modern love affair! Now if I shrug my shoulders And only pass the time of day It's more than wine and roses could ever say Though I might sulk and you may brood, just thank God it's me and you Is this a modern love affair! Is this a modern love affair! The one they tell you to beware of We asked for Mother's handouts, you ask and we shall Get (Repeat) Is this a modern love affair! Is this a modern love affair!
