7. BILLY BROWN

 Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life.

Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife.

While it was all going according to plan

Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man.

He met his lover almost every single day

Making excuses through his dodgy holiday

(Unto religion that he said and duty found

They didn’t know his faith was (earthlic) bound)

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.

Don’t let the stars get you down.

Don’t let the waves let you drown.

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.

Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.

Gonna shake the water out of every nook.

Oh Billy Brown.

Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go.

He found an island off the coast of Mexico

Leaving his lover and his family behind.

Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind.

And on his journey and his travels on the way,

He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,

When they made love he shared the burden of his mind.

Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times.

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.

Don’t let the stars get you down.

Don’t let the waves let you drown.

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.

Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.

Gonna shake the water out of every nook.

Oh Billy Brown.

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.

Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.

Gonna shake the water out of every nook.

Oh Billy Brown.

Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life.

Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife.

While it was all going according to plan

Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man

8. BIG GIRL (YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL)

Big girl you are beautiful

Walks in to the room

Feels like a big balloon

I said, 'Hey girls you are beautiful'

Diet coke and a pizza please

Diet coke I'm on my knees

Screaming 'Big girl you are beautiful'

You take your skinny girls

Feel like I'm gonna die

'Cause a real woman

Needs a real man here's why

You take your girl

And multiply her by four

Now a whole lot of woman

Needs a whole lot more

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge

Find yourself a big lady

Big boy come on around

And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize

Since I was in my braces

A watering hole

With the girls around

And curves in all the right places

Big girls you are beautiful

Big girls you are beautiful

Big girls you are beautiful

Big girls you are beautiful

Walks in to the room

Feels like a big balloon

I said, 'Hey girls you are beautiful'

Diet coke and a pizza please

Diet coke I'm on my knees

Screaming 'Big girl you are beautiful'

You take your girl

And multiply her by four

Now a whole lot of woman

Needs a whole lot more

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge

Find yourself a big lady

Big boy come on around

And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize

Since I was in my braces

A watering hole

With the girls around

And curves in all the right places

Big girls you are beautiful

Big girls you are beautiful

Big girls you are beautiful

Big girls you are beautiful

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge

Find yourself a big lady

Big boy come on around

And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize

A watering hole

With the girls around

And curves in all the right places

Oh you are beautiful

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge

Find yourself a big lady

9. STUCK IN THE MIDDLE

I sit and think about the day that you’re gonna die,

‘Cos your wrinkled eyes betrayed the joy with which you smiled.

Care to see my reason?

Care to put your life in mine?

Looking at life from the perspective of a boy

Who’s learnt to love you but has also learned to grow.

Could we make it better, stormy weather,

So I dunno.

Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home?

Who’ll believe me, won’t deceive me, won't try to change me?

Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?

Who wants to have me, just to love me?

Stuck in the middle.

I look at you,

You look at me,

We bite each other.

And with your better words you kick me in the gutter.

But my troops are bigger than yours

‘Cos you’ll never stand my fight.

Ours is a family that’s based upon tradition

But with my careless words I tread upon your vision.

Are five kids better than one, who’d busy like to be gone?

Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home?

Who’ll believe me, won’t deceive me, won't try to change me?

Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?

Who wants to have me, just to love me?

Stuck in the middle.

Yea...Yea...Yea...

This is to my name,

This ain’t a pretty plan to break your heart of me.

I know that what I’ve started means that when we have parted

I can live in all this (stench?).

Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home?

Who’ll believe me, won’t deceive me, who’ll try to teach me?

Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?

Who wants to have me, just to love me?

Stuck in the middle,

Stuck in the middle,

Stuck in the middle,

Stuck in the middle.

10. HAPPY ENDING

This is the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No Happy Ending.

This is the way that we love,

Like it's forever.

Then live the rest of our life,

But not together.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life

Can't get no love without sacrifice

If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well

A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told

No hope, or love, or glory

Happy endings gone forever more

I feel as if I'm wastin'

And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No Happy Ending.

This is the way that we love,

Like it's forever.

Then live the rest of our life,

But not together.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind

Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around

If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep

I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I've ever told

No hope, or love, or glory

Happy endings gone forever more

I feel as if I'm wastin'

And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No Happy Ending.

This is the way that we love,

Like it's forever.

Then live the rest of our life,

But not together.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love

Little bit of love, little bit of love [repeat]

I feel as if I'm wastin'

And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No Happy Ending.

This is the way that we love,

Like it's forever.

To live the rest of our life,

But not together.
