Pet Shop Boys:

(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh) [Hello]
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh) [Dahhhling - mmwah!]
[How dare you? Do you know who I am?]
[You look fabulous! - mmwah!]
I know what you think
It's clear as mud in your eyes
We're the plastic poseurs and prostitutes
You've obviously come to despise
But you don't know nothing
You're not hot enough to matter
You don't understand it's the glamorous life
A dream that no one can shatter
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all
I'm ambitious
Believe me, I'm going to be big
I'm a slave to glamour
Applause and clamour
My makeup, my wardrobe, my wigs
Don't call me pathetic
I'm harder than you'll ever guess
Relentlessly tough, for when the going gets rough
The tough get their picture in the press
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all
(Anything, anything, anything at all)
(We'll do anything, anything, anything at all)
(We'll do anything, anything, anything at all)
(We'll do anything, anything, anything at all)
[It's going perfectly alright]
[How dare you? Do you know who I am?]
[It's an absolute disgrace]
Tell me you love me
Admit it, you're really impressed
Would it not amuse you
For me to seduce you
Have you ever seen me undressed?
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (Give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (Give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl to obtain celebrity
We'll do anything
With anyone
Go absolutely anywhere
For anything
At all
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh) [I'm terribly sorry]
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)
(Ooh ah ah ooh ah ah ooh ah ooh)

Ani DiFranco:

i cannot name this
i cannot explain this
and i really don't want to
just call me shameless
i can't even slow this down
let alone stop this
and i keep looking around
but i cannot top this

if i had any sense
i guess i'd fear this
i guess i'd keep it down
so no one would hear this
i guess i'd shut my mouth
and rethink a minute
but i can't shut it now
'cuz there's something in it

we're in a room without a door
and i am sure without a doubt
they're gonna wanna know
how we got in here
and they're gonna wanna know
how we plan to get out
we better have a good explanation
for all the fun that we had
'cuz they are coming for us, baby
they are going to be mad
they are going to be mad at us

this is my skeleton
this is the skin it's in
that is, according to light
and gravity
i'll take off my disguise
the mask you met me in
'cuz i got something
for you to see
just gimme your skeleton
give me the skin it's in
yeah baby, this is you
according to me
i never avert my eyes
i never compromise
so nevermind
the poetry

we're in a room without a door...

i gotta cover my butt 'cuz i covet
another man's wife
i got to divide my emotions
between wrong and right
then i get to see how close i can get to it
without giving in
then i get to rub up against it
till i break the skin
rub up against it
till i break the skin

they're gonna be mad at us
they're gonna be mad at me and you
yeah, they're gonna be mad at us
and all the things we wanna do
they're gonna be mad at us
they're gonna be mad at me and you
they're gonna be mad at us
and all the things we like do

just please don't name this
please don't explain this
just blame it all on me
say i was shameless
say i couldn't slow it down
let alone stop it
and say you just hung around
'cuz you couldn't top it

Cracker:

You're so shameless
Sweet thing please don't bring us down
You're so shameless
But what goes it comes around
And on a trip to Mexico
Never knew that it could snow
We shared a bed like days gone by
The mistresses all knew your name
The minister started acting strange
Shameless
Don't really wanna know what's going on
You're so shameless
Sweet thing please don't bring us down
And on a trip to Yellow Knife
Professor Panos and his wife
Secret dealings at the Quebec bar
With an arctic wilderness guide
Says he was a retired Canadian spy
Shameless
Sweet thing please don't bring us down (hm-hm, no-no)
You're so shameless
Don't really wanna know what's going on (hm-hm-hm)
You're so shameless
But what goes it comes around
Yeah you're so shameless (shameless)
Yeah you're so shameless (shameless)
You're so shameless (yeah yeah shameless)
You're so shameless
You're so shameless (you should be guarded by monkeys)
You're so shameless (you should be guarded by monkeys)

Kids In Glass Houses:

As you crawl on all fours,
A dirty mouth licks clean the floor,
You were lighting them up and stomping them out,
That little black book is full of the red faces you've pulled,
Painting the town and dragging it down,
She's got so many vices,
She dies ten times a night.

I can do shameless too,
And this one goes out to you.
I can do shameless too,
They waited all night for you.

When she drinks, she drinks neat.
When she thinks, it's on her feet.
"I'm just sinning, do you mind?
I'm falling behind."
So she's bleached all that hair.
And hit the stage in underwear.
The parents get blamed.
It's always the same.
She's got so many vices,
She dies ten times a night.

I can do shameless too,
And this one goes out to you.
I can do shameless too,
They waited all night for you.

It's going simple shamelessly,
And she'll conduct the symphony,
A soundtrack to her infamy,
If this is the revolution then pardon me,
I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving tonight.

I can do shameless too,
And this one goes out to you.
I can do shameless too,
They waited all night for you.

She's got so many vices,
She dies ten times a night.

Say Anything:

Remember when you heard it, you didn't think about it
You opened up your ears and listened
Felt it smashing through the pretense, through scabs of inhibition
That the world stitched to your shoulder like a mission
It echoed like lips meeting and it fluctuated violently
Filled your heart and lungs up with redemption
Kind of like an ending but more like a beginning
And even though you're losing then you're winning
If you say oh
Remember this forever
All that matters is a song
Singing I will be with you
Everywhere you go
Every little thing you do
Our love is here to stay
Even when the skies are gray
Even when I'm away
I'll be with you.
Now you're so much older, so mature and insecure
You've grown out of yourself and into something else
Oh you crazy rebel tell me is this what you want to be
Would it kill you to be shameless?
If you say oh
Just scream this in defiance from the bottom of your lungs
What ever happened to the rock in roll in your eyes?
Oh I know its somewhere in you underneath the veil of lies
Oh why do you hide them, your rock and roll eyes?
They're crazy
Eardrums are like elephants, they don't forget the things they hear
And veins still carry fragments of the things fed to your ear
Let me do the honors and welcome you back to mankind
Just turn on the stereo and unwind
It goes I will always love you.
And as for taking it in stride:.

Halou:

I am so perfectly clumsy and lonely
And i'm chained to the fear of what i think you think
Like it's always about me
So i take a deep breath as i walk in the party
And forget that i never wear the right thing

Just pretend you're someone else
That you're gorgeous and shameless
Just pretend you're someone else
That you're perfect and shameeless
And you'll say

"so maybe i'm ugly i'm just like this
Maybe i'm me i won't change it
Do you think you can love me regardless
Shameless and fabulous"

I'm free from the burden of the world's opinion
And i'm free for tonight of what i think of me
But just for the moment
I really had ought to get out more often
I could quickly get used to feeling like this

 

[terryl965]

Arni you have been a busy young man

Human League:

I never thought I'd have the nerve / To break from the conventional / I never

thought my path would curve / And lead to sin intentional / The heavan that you

take me to / Is really just a darker place / I knew that if I fell for you / I

really had to fall from grace / From the moment that you held me / I'd

forgotten wrong and right / From the second that you touched me / Was a

creature of the night / Made a folly out of caution / Made all virtue seem

bizarre / Through a mirror of distortion / Watching coldy from afar / Oh,

shameless, oh / Oh, shameless, oh / And how could such a fate befall / A person

of such principles / From never doing wrong at all / To scandal inconceivable /

I'm pounding at the gates of hell / Impatient for the journey in / I'll face

the fury at your side / So let the tragedy begin / From the moment that you

held me / I'd forgotten wrong and right / From the second that you touched me /

Was a creature of the night / Made a folly out of caution / Made all virtue

seem bizarre / Through a mirror of distortion / Watching coldy from afar / Oh,

shameless, oh / For the touch of your hand / Oh, shameless, oh / Let them

misunderstand / Just the touch of your hand / Oh, shameless, oh / And they

misunderstan
