Just take a ticket
It takes you nowhere
They saw us coming
It’s them and us here
Just keep your voice down
And light another
I am a patient girl
I wait, I wait, I wait
It’s not your money
Don’t call me stupid
Not big, not clever
Mean can mean awkward
It’s Wigan Pier here
I’m not for jumping
See candid camera
Sees next to nothing
(Chorus)
You keep me waiting
I keep on shouting
You keep me waiting
I keep on shouting
You keep me waiting
I keep on shouting
You keep me waiting
My letterbox knows
Bangers and bad news
Good morning campers
Sees queues and queues and queues
They spell my name wrong
It’s not for art’s sake
And every truth told
Black mark on black mark
You love to chew on
This bread and butter
You crunch your numbers
And push your papers
Pile-up on pile-up
Malicious bad turns
I’ll light another
Slow fuses, slow burn
(Repeat chorus)

come on baby leave some change behind
she was a bitch but I don’t care
she brought our food out on time
and wore a funky barrette in her hair
come on baby leave some change behind
she was a bitch but good enough
to leave some change everybody’s good
enough for some change
the girl’s got family
she needs cash to buy aspirin for
her pain everybody’s good enough
for some change
we all get the flu we all get aids
we’ve got to stick together
after all, everybody’s good enough
for some change, SOME FUCKING CHANGE!!!

I was scared to death
Afraid to close my eyes
And find that I was gone
Like every other one
Who left before the dawn
I vanished in the air
Am I still there
Wake me gently
If you can
Wake me gently
Just touch my hand
Wake me gently
Pull my sleeve
‘Cuz where I’m at
Is where I want to leave
And in my sleep
I look so lifeless on this bed
Laid out on satin sheets
This dream’s a novel
That I don’t dare complete
No happy ending read
I think the hero’s dead
Wake me gently
If you can
Wake me gently
Just touch my hand
Wake me gently
Pull my sleeve
‘Cuz where I’m at
Is where I want to leave
Me to my slumber
And I’ll never come home
Please help me, I’m frightened
Of what’s going on
What’s going on
And if I can’t wake up
Will I be all alone
A stranded orphan here
Or will I bump into
Some other wandering soul
And will they talk to me
Somebody, somebody please rescue me
Wake me gently
If you can
Wake me gently
Just touch my hand
Wake me gently
Pull my sleeve
‘Cuz where I’m at
Is where I want to leave
I wanna leave
I wanna leave
I wanna wake up
I wanna leave
I don’t wanna stay
I wanna leave
I wanna go
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Just wake me up
I wanna go home
Wake me up please
‘Cuz I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Wake me
Wake me

I sign in my name
I guess I have to wait a while
I’m gonna play this game
Call me up if you know how to dial

You always had my number
You need to be my lover
Humiliation
I’m in the waiting room

Chorus:
If we both want the love
And I wait long enough
Then the ground that we’re on might be coming
All I can do is wait for you
All I can do is wait for you
I’m all alone in the waiting room
I’m all alone in the waiting room

When you buried in solitude
It can get real thick
Desire is your only food
It can get you sick
You know you’re so fine
I’m over here standing in this line
Just waiting in the waiting room

(Repeat Chorus)

While I’m in the waiting room
A thousand thoughts I think of you
Whatever you did, it’s got me glued
It’s icky, it’s sticky, ooo

You’re the one I’m dreaming of
Why does this feel like wasted time?
What a price is traveling love?
You and me trapped between these lights
Ooo, you’re so mine

(Repeat Chorus)

All I can do is wait for you (I’m just waiting for you)
All I can do is wait for you (You know you want me)
All I can do is wait for you (You always had my number)
All I can do is wait for you (You know you need to be my lover)
All I can do is wait for you
All I can do is wait for you

Wait for you. Wait for… Why are you making me wait?
I’m all alone in the waiting room (Repeated 5 times)

Will you call me when it’s my turn?

Did you get all you want?
Did you see the whole show?
So where’s all the fun
That we used to know?
As the memories fade
Way out of view
I’d love those old days
To come back to you

I’ve been waiting so long
I’m not feeling so strong

Did you say what you mean?
Did you mean what you say?
About this new scene
Is it really that way?
But the blindness goes on
You say it’s not so
But what do you know?


I’ve been waiting so long
I’m not feeling so strong

Ain’t nothing new, it’s just the same old thing
You got me singing those old blues again

Angry music, words of fire
Painted faces filled with rage
Even then they sound so tired
I must be set in my old ways

If this world is unimpressive
It’s been that way for quite awhile
I don’t need no heavy message
Just turn me on and make me smile

Yes I’ve been waiting such a long time
Just for something to ring true
Now I’d rather taste the old wine
Than mess around with something new

And the blindness goes on
The blindness goes on

Don’t leave me now

Don’t leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
Leave me out with nowhere to go
And the shadows start to fall
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Don’t leave me now

Don’t leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Don’t leave me now
Don’t leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When I’m old and cold and grey and time is gone…

Watching girls go passing by
It ain’t the latest thing
I’m just standing in a doorway
I’m just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
I’m not waiting on a lady
I’m just waiting on a friend

A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I’m not waiting on a lady
I’m just waiting on a friend
I’m just waiting on a friend

Don’t need a whore
I don’t need no booze
Don’t need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I’m not waiting on a lady
I’m just waiting on a friend

Waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause I don’t want to go alone
I don’t want to go alone
Now angel won’t you come by me
angel hear my plea
take my hand lift me up
so that I can fly with thee
so that I can fly with thee
And I’m waiting on an angel
and I know it won’t be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel’s arms
in my angel’s arms
So speak kind to a stranger
cause you’ll never know
it just might be an angel come
knockin’ at your door
knockin’ at your door
And I’m waiting on an angel
and I know it won’t be long
to find myself a resting place
in my angel’s arms
in my angel’s arms
Waiting on an angel
one to carry me home
hope you come to see me soon
cause I don’t want to go alone
I don’t want to go alone
don’t want to go
I don’t want to go alone

Why haven’t you called me?
Did you forget me?
I need to know
When were you intending
To break the silence
And let me know?

Mine is the loneliest of numbers
Now is the loneliest of times
You’re 19 days late, but still I sit and wait, oh

Waiting and waiting
Waiting and waiting
Waiting and waiting
Waiting on you

Who have you been seeing
That made you forget me?
I bet you call him
Where, oh where does he come from?
I bet he lives close by
I bet he’s just a friend

Waiting and waiting
Waiting and waiting
You got me waiting
Waiting on you

I asked you if you’d ever turn around
I asked you, guess I’m never comin’ home
I asked you if you’d ever turn around
I asked you, guess I’m never comin’ home

How long is it s’posed to take
Which song got the answer straight
I thought I sang ’em all
What face am I gonna make
Which leg to I have to break
To know I took the fall

It’s like I’m standing on the edge of madness
Save me from crossing that line
Sure that I’ll never come back

Chorus
With the dawn, life goes on
How long can I keep waiting on your love
Hold my breath, give me strength
How long can I keep holding on
How long can I keep waiting on your love

True love is a funny thing
Too much for a diamond ring
To guarantee applause
Too late when you have to guess
Which joke’s taken as tenderness
Penny for your thoughts

Just like I’m hanging off the edge of madness
Stop me from falling so far
How can you let me let go

Chorus

I keep every moment frozen in time
And if they’re all I get, I’ll be cold the rest of my life

Chorus

From the very first time
I rest my eyes on you,boy
My heart said follow through but I know now
That I’m way down on your line
But the waiting feeling’s fine
So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string
Because I know how to do my thing
Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb
I wanna know when you’re gotta come,you see
*I don’t wanna wait in a vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in a vain for your love
I don’t wanna wait in a vain for your love
‘Cause sommer is here
And I’m still waiting there
Winter is here I’m still waiting there
Like I said It’s been three years since
I’m knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy,ooh boy,is it crazy look,I wanna know now
For I to knock some more,you see
In life I know
That there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
Tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waitin’
While I’m waitin’ for my turn,you see
(*Repeat)
Like I said-
I don’t wanna,(x4)
I don’t wanna wait in vain
I don’t wanna,(x4)
I don’t wanna wait in vain
It’s been three years since
I’m knocking on your door
And still I can knock some more
Ooh boy,ooh boy,is it crazy look,I wanna know now
Like I said,the tears in my eyes burn
Tears in my eyes burn
While I’m waiting
While I’m waiting for my turn,you see
Ooh boy,ooh boy,is it crazy look,I wanna know now
For I to knock some more
In life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief
