Still The Same

(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)

Oh we ain't goin' nowhere
We're just looking for somewhere
Whatever pulled us apart
Is still the same - It's still the same

Oh we're all one day older
Your hands are gradually colder
What made me weak at the knees
Is still the same - It's still the same

Oh you ain't been so tender
Your smell ain't how I remember
Although your eau de Cologne
Is still the same - It's still the same

Oh I ain't a great romancer
And I ain't got all of the answers
What made me weak at the knees
Is still the same - It's still the same

Nothing's changed - I'm taking the blame
No nothing has changed - It's still the same
Nothing's changed - Start over again
It's all in the game - It's still the same - It's still the same

Oh I know nothing's changing
I know I need re-arranging
I know I'm taking the blame
It's still the same - It's still the same

Oh I know nothing's changing
I know nothing's remaining
I know it's all in the game
It's still the same - It's still the same

Nothing's changed - I'm taking the blame
No nothing has changed - It's still the same
Nothing's changed - Start over again
It's all in the game - It's still the same

It's still the same - Nothing's changed
Start over again - It's all in the game
It's still the same - It's still the same

Gotta Go Home

(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)

All dressed up in your Sunday best, you never know when to stop
You got a tight fit top. One with a belt, hoping that it won't drop off

Woah..... when you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home
When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home
When you gotta go home you gotta go

All dolled up in your birthday suit, you just gotta wear a smile
Your headlights flash talking about ya, never going out of style

Woah.....when you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home
When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home
When you gotta go home you gotta go

Always there with a new sensation - A new designer frock
Always there with a new creation - determined just to shock

All decked out in your masquerade and you and me are on the loose
You got a tight fittin' top, one with a belt on. Holding on it ain't no use

Woah.....when you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go gotta go home
When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home
When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home

When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home
When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home
When you gotta go then you gotta go

When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home
You gotta go home I said you gotta go home
When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home

When you gotta go then you gotta go
When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home
When you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home

The Roaring Silence

(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)

I hear the silence roar, The tiger's silver paw
Can rip you to the bone, I roar in silence alone
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free

I hear the silence roar, we ain't above the law
She moves across a crowd, the roaring silence is loud
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the savage in me, fancy-free and no guarantee ... yeah

There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free

The roaring silent sound, take your defences down
All quiet on the Western Front, the roaring silence is gone
The roaring silence is gone, the roaring silence is gone

Don't Talk To Me About Love

(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)

Hmmmmm
Ah haw haw, Ah haw haw

A shake of the snake, he's making the break
You show me the door, now tell me some more
Go jump in the lake

I got a hot tip, so now let it rip
There's nothing to lose, the earth didn't move
So button your lip

I said, don't talk to me about love, love, love
No, no, don't talk to me about love, love, love

Oh, boy how you dance, there's ants in your pants
With my kind of luck, a chance of a duck
Is just half a chance

I said, don't talk to me about love, love, love
No, no, don't talk to me about love, love, love

I look very brave, the closer you shave
Oh, no not again, will you tell me when?
I daren't misbehave

I said, don't talk to me about love, love, love
No, no, don't talk to me about love, love, love

Oh no, don't talk to me about love, love, love
No, no, no, don't talk to me about love, love, love
