I don't wanna go out tonight I'd rather stay at home in bed A starless and a moonless sky And a bulletproof vest won't do any good Attack of the puppet people Every alley that I turn They're waiting in every corner Puppet people never go home The wizard has gone The snake slides away The witches of Eastwick Have turned into clay The fifty foot woman Just took off her heels Batman dumped Robin For a boy who really squeals Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I don't wanna go out tonight Tell me why I have to go I'd rather stay at home and play a record And watch you put on a show The wizard has gone Fall into the endless sea The snake slides away Strangle in your weak desire The witches of Eastwick Fall into the endless sea Have turned into clay Thrown onto Geppetto's fire The fifty foot woman Fall into the endless sea Just took off her heels Strangle in your weak desire Batman dumped Robin Fall into the endless sea For a boy who really squeals Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh The wizard has gone Fall into the endless sea The snake slides away Strangle in your weak desire The witches of Eastwick Fall into the endless sea Have turned into clay Thrown onto Geppetto's fire The fifty foot woman Fall into the endless sea Just took off her heels Strangle in your weak desire Batman dumped Robin Fall into the endless sea For a boy who really squeals Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Will they ever go home Will we ever get away Will they ever go home Will we ever get away Hey Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Baby struck me like lightning Sizzled me like a hot hot pepper You can be frightening Gimme some more tonight Burning like a live wire I got the feeling got the notion Scorpio rising Gimme some more love It's too late to be alone Come on baby pick up the phone But you just keep telling me I'm a fool Now I'm standing in the dark But it's too late Goin' crazy like a tiger But it's too late Left me standing in the car park But It's too late Cut your name into my arm But it's too late. Come on Baby scorched me like fire You come to me like a hot hot vision Light my desire Gimme some more tonight One hundred degrees Temperature rising I'm steaming up again Meet me at the 44 disco Gimme some more love Come one baby take my hand We'll sneak away after the band But you just keep telling me I'm a fool Now I'm standing in the dark But it's too late Goin' crazy like a tiger But it's too late Left me standing in the car park But It's too late Cut your name into my arm But it's too late Come on Come on Come on Come on I'm a fool Now I'm standing in the dark But it's too late Goin' crazy like a tiger But it's too late Left me standing in the car park But It's too late Cut your name into my arm But it's too late Come on Come on Come on Come on

Two weeks in the aftershock I'll never love another Though you saved my life I know I'm losing out It's just another sacrifice So roll the dice So soon comes the afternoon I sat here drinking the moon Love was just holing on To something sacred precious 'til we died One more time Ooh we take what we can get Turn lovers for regret It's just like playing monopoly Ooh we shake it all apart Cry murder in the dark It's just like playing monopoly La la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la So you stay damaged goods But I still know that game and all it's bitter truths We hang in public slaughter Horses running to the water So soon comes the afternoon We sat here drinking up the moon Love was just holing on 'Til someone something better came along Now you're gone Ooh we take what we can get Turn lovers for regret It's just like playing monopoly Ooh we shake it all apart Cry murder in the dark It's just like playing monopoly And I don't Wanna steal your crown away And I don't Wanna steal your crown away Ooh we take what we can get Turn lovers for regret It's just like playing monopoly Ooh we shake it all apart Cry murder in the dark It's just like playing monopoly Ooh we take what we can get Turn lovers for regret It's just like playing monopoly Steal your crown away

From the first note, this album time-warped me back to the 80s! While playing it, my wife asked, "Hey, that's great! Who is that?" She usually doesn't express an opinion, so that's quite the recommendation. Anyway, this isn't just derivative nostalgia. These are great songs that'll keep you listening. SRL
