Baby Space

Shining skin
Crystal eyes
Strong and thin
Warm sighs
Got no heart
But I don’t mind
Got no soul
That’s just fine
You’re the one that I’ve been dreaming of
Can’t you be my perfect love?
No other girl could ever take your place
My, my, space baby, my baby space
When I turn you on
I lose track of time
You do whatever I want
You’re truly mine
You’re always there, waiting for me
And when you sleep, do you dream of me?
You’re the one that I’ve been dreaming of
Can’t you be my perfect love?
No other girl could ever take your place
My, my, space baby, my baby space
(bass solo over verse)
You’re the one that I’ve been dreaming of
Can’t you be my perfect love?
No other girl could ever take your place
My, my, space baby, my baby space
You’re the one that I’ve been dreaming of
Can’t you be my perfect love?
No other girl could ever take your place
My, my, space baby, my baby space
Do you dream of me? My space baby, my baby space

Glossy pages, empty homes
Pretty faces, fancy clothes
Diet sodas, financed loans
Yeah, I want that…
Eternal youth and brand-new cars
Pinstriped suits and candy bars
It’s in my grasp but it seems so far
Ooh, I really need that…
Give me the lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle
Lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle
Luscious wraiths in bathing suits
Young, thin, sexy…with fake boobs
Printed page beauty is truth
What’s wrong with that?
Happy families in outdoor scenes
Perfume strips, all so clean
Everything in my dreams
Yeah, I want that…
Give me the lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle (Another issue!)
Lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle (See what’s new!)
Lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle (A brand-new issue!)
Lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle (See what’s new!)
What’s on the page is all the rage
Airbrush my teeth and hair
All the world’s a paper stage…I can’t believe my eyes…
Give me the lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle (Another issue!)
Lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle (See what’s new!)
Lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle (A brand-new issue!)
Lie, lie, lie…lifestyle magazine lifestyle (See what’s new!)

The Fix Is In
04:09
|
|||
I read today’s papers and the fix is in
I heard the newscaster say that the fix is in
And the president’s an actor selling lies (What did you expect?)
No one will open their eyes (What did you expect?)
Could it be...I’m just paranoid
Don’t you see?
The fix is in
My lover whispers in her sleep that the fix is in
In the flickering green of my video screen, the fix is in
All my friends are acting strange (What did you expect?)
They all tell me I’m the one who’s changed (What did you expect?)
Could it be...There’s something in the air
Don’t you see...No one seems to care
Look around...You’re in a prison
There’s no doubt…
The fix is in
Mom and Dad won’t admit it, but the fix is in
All the people in the city know that the fix is in
The sponsors are all selling you (What did you expect?)
Nobody’s telling the truth (What did you expect?)
Could it be...I’m losing my mind?
Don’t you see...It’s not all fine
Look around...Why won’t you listen?
There’s no doubt…
The fix is in
Cops, robbers, holy fathers…the fix is in
Students and teachers, all of them cheaters…the fix is in
In the mirror, becoming clearer…the fix is in
Down in my soul, tell you what I know…the fix is in

People Talk
03:36

Now everyone’s talking
But we’re not going to listen
They’re trying to tell us what’s right and wrong
But they don’t know what they’re missing
Now it’s time for the good times
Forget about everything else
You and me, we’re in love
Leave them on the shelf, because
People talk
Let them, let them, let them talk
People talk
Let them, let them talk
Because we don’t care
Now somebody’s talking about how we wear our hair
And the way we live and love
And the clothes we wear
But we don’t care about what they say
It doesn’t matter anyway
Don’t let it get in your way
Who cares about what they say? Because
People talk
Let them, let them, let them talk
People talk
Let them, let them talk
Everybody’s talking, talking, talking…talking about us!
You’re 16 and the summer’s never going to end
And then you’re 18 and you’re never going to end up working for The Man
And you’re riding down the freeway with the top down listening to this song
Yeah, you’re young…and forever? It just seems so long
People talk
Let them, let them, let them talk
People talk
Let them, let them talk

Sunset Boulevard
06:22

When I met you in the summer, it was a beautiful day
Holding hands and laughing, we both were carried away
You smelled so good and felt so soft, the sun shining in your eyes
I whispered “I love you” as we stood side by side
It was a classic story, the best we could do
A Hollywood production starring me and you
The classic story…we played our parts
Framed and lit on the screen, on Sunset Boulevard
When I lost you, it was winter. I stood in the freezing rain.
Emptied out and crying as you drove away
A piercing sound as the light died in my eyes
I called out “I need you” as you left me behind
It was a tragic story, it was all I could do
A Hollywood production starring me and you
It was a tragic story…we played our parts
Framed and glued to the screen on Sunset Boulevard
And I found you in the autumn at a party in L.A.
High in the hills, passing out, looking a little dazed
Staggering in the bathroom with stars in your eyes
You told me you still wanted me as I slowly backed away
It’s the same old hackneyed story…it was all I could do
A Hollywood production starring me and you
The same old classic story, we play our parts
Framed and pinned to the screen on Sunset Boulevard
It’s the same old hackneyed story…it was all I could do
A Hollywood production starring me and you
The same old classic story, we play our parts
Framed and pinned to the screen on Sunset Boulevard
It was a classic story, the best we could do
A Hollywood production starring me and you
The classic story…we played our parts
Framed and lit on the screen, on Sunset Boulevard
It was a tragic story, it was all I could do
A Hollywood production starring me and you
It was a tragic story…we played our parts
Framed and glued to the screen on Sunset Boulevard

It's Tomorrow (1984)
04:20
|
|||
I’m living on capsules in Tokyo
I’m working on computers in the Twilight Zone
I’m driving in my tomorrow car
I’m wondering just where you are
It’s tomorrow, baby…Who could ask for more?
It’s tomorrow, baby, it’s 1984
It’s tomorrow, baby…Gotta get some more!
It’s tomorrow, baby…Come on! It’s 1984
I’m eating my future food in tomorrow’s café
I’m flying on the perfect plane for my future getaway
I’m lying in my space-age bed, dreaming my tomorrow dreams
Still clinging to the same old hope that tomorrow, you’ll come back to me
It’s tomorrow…Who knows what’s in store?
It’s tomorrow…It’s 1984
It’s tomorrow …You know what’s in store…
It’s tomorrow, baby, come on it’s 1984
And everything that I see is filtered through the screens
I’m caught in the master plan, but I’m doing what I can…doing what I can…
I’m riding on the SST
I’m talking on the videophone
I’m beating on my Linn drum
It’s tomorrow, baby…Who could ask for more?
It’s tomorrow, baby, it’s 1984
It’s tomorrow, baby…Gotta get some more!
It’s tomorrow, baby, come on it’s 1984
It’s tomorrow…Who knows what’s in store?
It’s tomorrow…It’s 1984
It’s tomorrow…You know what’s in store…
It’s tomorrow, baby…Come on, it’s 1984

All you other wack rappers best be on your way
I rock the mic and put the “new” in the “wave”
And when the girls all see me, they scream my name
So don’t do drugs and stay in school
Yes, yes, y’all, get down, be cool
Come on everybody it’s time to dance
With Sid Luscious and The Pants!
I want U (like television)

Push The Button
03:40
|

They tell me they keep it chained to their side
In a shiny black case that’s never out of sight
The end of the world in the quarterback’s hands
That doesn’t bother me at all…it’s the waiting I can’t stand…
Push the button
Push the button
Push the button
Push it now…
My television and my phone, my life is so controlled
Air conditioning, microwave, laser disc and stereo
Technology connects and divides me and you
The world is such a mess…all I wanna do is
Push the button (Push the button)
Push the button (Push the button)
Push the button (Push the button)
Push it now…
Once I saw a TV show about a man with a box
And if you pushed the button, you’d get a million bucks
The only thing it did was kill someone you didn’t know
We are all strangers living in the buttons shadow…
Push the button (Push the button)
Push the button (Push the button)
Push the button (Push the button)
Push it now…

Last Song
05:28
|

Here we are
Together, at last
I never thought this moment would come
And now, it’s passing so fast
Take my hands
Tonight beneath the stars
We will dance and spin and twirl and dance
We will heed the music’s call…
Last Song…come on…we’re running out of time
Last Song…so long…we may say “goodnight”
But never say “goodbye”
Halfway through
With your head pressed to my heart
So much I want to say to you
But I don’t know how to start
I look deep in your eyes
Are you as scared as me?
Should I lean down and kiss you?
Would that ruin everything?
Last Song…it’s on…we’ve got to treasure this time
Last Song…plays on…we may say “goodnight”
But never say last song…it’s on…we’ve got to treasure this time
Last Song…plays on…we may say “goodnight”
But never say “goodbye”
Here we are
Tonight beneath the stars
So much I want to say to you
But you already know
Last Song…hold on…there’s so little time
Last Song…it’s done…we may say “goodnight”
But never say last song…hold on…there’s so little time
Last Song…it’s done…we may say “goodnight”
But never say “goodbye”

Sid Luscious and The Pants San Francisco, California
The greatest new wave band that never was!
Childhood prodigies, Sid Luscious and The Pants were
abandoned by the industry in the early 80s, on the verge of success. Other bands stole their sound and rode it to the top of the charts, while Sid and The Pants went their separate ways and grew up.
Decades later, the band has reformed. Older, wiser, and more new wave than ever.
