(J. Spinks)
FOR ONCE  IN MY LIFE
WELL I WISHED THAT I
COULD JUST SAY WHAT?S ON MY MIND
BUT I'M AFRAID
IN CASE THE WORDS DON'T COME OUT RIGHT
AND IF  I SHOULD TRY
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND ME?
OH OH OH MAYBE IT?S A CRIME WHAT I?M THINKING
DON?T YOU WANNA KNOW WHY
BABY IT?S A CRIME WHAT I?M THINKING
WELL I?VE TRIED  SO HARD
AND I WISHED THAT I COULD JUST GET THE MOMENT RIGHT
BUT EVERYTIME  THERE?S ALWAYS SOMEONE IN THIS ROOM
AND SO  TONIGHT
IF I GET THE CHANCE  I?LL SHARE MY SECRET
OH OH OH MAYBE IT?S A CRIME WHAT I'M THINKING
DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW WHY
BABY IT'S A CRIME WHAT I'M THINKING
OH I?M  JUST LIKE
ANY OTHER MAN  I JUST WANT THE BEST OUT OF LIFE
BUT IN THE END  I KNOW I'LL TAKE WHAT I CAN GET
IF I  SHOULD TRY
DO YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD STAND BESIDE ME?
OH OH OH MAYBE IT?S A CRIME WHAT I?M THINKING
DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW WHY
BABY IT'S A CRIME WHAT I?M THINKING
OH, WON'T YOU STAND BY MY SIDE
JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
OH  FOR JUST ONCE IN YOUR LIFE
STAND BY ME  STAND ME
JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER  JUST A LITTLE LONGER
JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER  JUST A LITTLE BIT
COME ON BABY COME ON BABYThere are songs that sound like movies
There are themes that fill the screen
There are lines I say that sound as if they're written
There are looks I wear the theater should have seen
But though I've made my life a movie
The matinee must end by five
And I must stagger out into the blinding sunlight half alive
Wishing I were back inside the picture show
There where it's always night
Notice how the screen is wide
The second role I've said around too tight
Will I stay? Yes, I might
Oh widescreen wider on my eyes
Lie my mind with lies
Find the world like nothing that I've seen
Oh widescreen dreams are just my sighs
As we walk from out the movie
Are we acting out a scene
Does the orchestra play chords
When we start loving?
Do we move just like slow motion
On the screen?
Life's a constant disappointment
When you live on celluloid
But my movie expectations are a dream I can't avoid
Waiting for a man to say the things
That I heard in the film last night
But he doesn't want to play the role
And he can't pick his cues up right
Will I dream? Yes, I might!
Oh widescreen winding round my eyes
Blinding me with lies
Finding I've been fooled by what I've seen
No, widescreen dreams are more than you
How can lies be true?
All we have is life and mind
And love we find with a friend
Oh let the movie end...
