Black Tie, white lies
You’re looking kind of nice
I think you could like me
And you’re my type of guy
Black Tie, gold smile
I’m feeling pretty shy
Across these waves of beauty you see me
Who struggles to meet your eye
Shadow chasing
Racing to the night
I’m looking out of this party
And I don't feel like I’m inside
Please can you take my hand
Let’s go for a walk
Quieter than the moon
Away from pointless talk
There’s too many people, people in this room
Away from pointless talk
Away from pointless talk
Away, away, away, away,
Away from pointless talk
Black Tie, blue eyes
There’s something about you
Is it that smile?
Or the cut of that suit?
Black Tie, dream guy
I wish you were true
Cos’ there’s a part of me
That’s longing for you
Please can you take my hand
Let’s go for a walk
Quieter than the moon
Away from pointless talk
There’s too many people, people in this room
Away from pointless talk
Away from pointless talk
Away, away, away, away,
Away from pointless talk

Mr Newton

At midnight I’m bathed in the haze
Of my TV set
The Visitor paints a lonely picture
Inside my TV set
I think Mr Newton’s had enough
At midnight I search for my mood
As I remain in the glow
The visitor misplaced his too
So he remains, nowhere to go
I think Mr Newton’s had enough
Noise for noise, wall to wall
Blue Bayou just filters through
Talk to me won’t you tell me
But the TV’s up to ten
At midnight I study the walls
Watching my shadows swim
The visitor drowns his sorrows
But they’ve learnt how to swim
I think Mr Newton’s had enough
Noise for noise, wall to wall
Blue Bayou just filters through
Talk to me won’t you tell me
But the TV’s up to ten
At midnight there’s frost on my skin
The fire is dying out
The visitor drops his glass
The fire is dying out.
I think Mr Newton’s had enough
Noise for noise, wall to wall
Blue Bayou just filters through
Talk to me won’t you tell me
But the TV’s up to ten

Tiger Tiger burning bright
Will you let me sleep tonight?
Temptations hard to bare
Neon jungle's just over there
These starry eyes turn so cold
When i think of being bold
Won’t just be a fleeting notion
Tiger Tiger we’ll cross that ocean
Ambition
No telling
Ambition
I’m not telling
Round corners to find
That scene gonna make it mine
These hopeful dreams
Float round my head
As I lay awake in bed
Black and gold prowling
Through my mind
Preying on such precious time
Ambition
No telling
Ambition
I’m not telling
Round corners to find
That scene gonna make it mine
Ambition
No telling
Ambition
I’m not telling
Round corners to find
That scene gonna make it mine
Tiger Tiger burning bright
Will you let me sleep tonight?
