BILLY IDOL SONG LYRICS
words and music by: Billy Idol/Tony James, 1980
On the floors of Tokyo
Down in London town's a go-go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm a-dancing with myself
Oh, when there's no one else in sight
In the crowded, lonely night
Well, I wait so long for my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself
{Refrain}
Oh, oh, oh dancing with myself
Oh, oh, oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
And I'm dancing with myself
Oh, oh, oh, oh
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had a chance, I'd ask one to dance
And I'd be dancing with myself
{Refrain}
Oh, oh, oh, oh (4x)
Well, if I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had a chance, I'd ask one to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
{As refrain}
Oh, oh, oh dancing with myself
Oh, oh, oh dancing with myself
If I had a chance, I'd ask one to dance
If I had a chance, I'd ask one to dance
If I had a chance, I'd ask one to dance
Oh, oh, oh, oh (4x)
Oh, oh, oh, dancing with myself Oh, world's all wet
Oh, oh, oh, dancing with myself I'm gonna sweat
Oh, oh, oh, dancing with myself I'm gonna sweat
Oh, oh, oh, dancing with myself sweat (18x)
Oh, oh, oh, dancing with myself (repeat to fade)
words and music by: Billy Idol, 1982
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
Hey little sister who's the one you want
Hey little sister shot gun!
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long
It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
(Pick it up)
Take me back home
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again
Come on
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
words and music by: Billy Idol, 1982
Stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger
It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet
On a hot summer night
Don't be afraid of the world we made
On a hot summer night
'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by
Yeah you can see the look in her eye
Then you know that it's
{Refrain}
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Stranger, stranger
For all the dreams and schemes, people are as they seem
On a hot summer night
Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young
On a hot summer night
A sometime someone you're not
Don't wait to see what you got
'Cause you know that you're
{Refrain}
We'll walk until my feet drop
I'm a train when I'm hateful
Yeah, lay right down now
And ride until your head breaks
I'm a-walkin' 'til my brain pops
I will move with the beat now
I'm a chain 'round an A-bomb
I'm a ribbon in the heat now
New York!
{Refrain, repeat to fade}

Hey babe, where did you go
When the down down got too much
Hey baby, where will you be found
When the down down gets to much
We were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the
end
Hey babe, where will you be
When the crack crack gets too much (crack)
Hey babe, where will you go
Oh, we were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the
end
CHORUS
There's a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
(She has under our expert persuasion)
(Has implicated you in high treason)
(You are under arrest)
(Do you have any final requests, requests)
It's a move to take you through
It's a move to take you through
It's a move to take you through
To take you through
To take you through
(You have until the sand runs up)
(Do you have any final requests)
(You look great, you look great)
(You look great)
Hey babe where will you go when the hole in
the wall is shut
Wow, babe you know where I'll be when that
hole in wall is shut
We were such an ugly pair
The chameleon twins they'd stop and stare
Lovers know when love has gone
A black hole there where love was once the
end
CHORUS
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh - a hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Catch it before you fall
The hole in the wall
There's a hole in the wall
Ooh - a hole in the wall...
words and music by: Billy Idol/Steve Stevens, 1983
Last night a little dancer
Came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel
Came pumpin cross my floor
She said honey baby
You got a license for love
And if it expires
Bring hell from above because
In the midnight our she cried more more more
With a rebel yell more more more, etc
She don't like slavery
She wont sit and beg
But when you tied her open
She's near to being
What set you free
Brought you to me, babe
What set you free
I need you hear by me, because chorus
I walk the walls for you babe
10,000 miles for you
I dried your tears of pain
A thousand times, for
I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all
And have none, babe
Just a Just a Justa Justa to have you here by me....
chorus out
words and music by: Billy Idol/Steve Stevens, 1983
I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse.
words and music by: Billy Idol/Steve Stevens, 1983
So my good friends,

Brain fry, day-glo
Holy water for your soul
And i wake up in the U.S.A.
CHOURS
You know we gonna ride on the Blue Highway
Walk with electroglide on the Blue Highway
Wave hello to Crist on my highway

words and music by: Billy Idol/Steve Stevens, 1983
Up in the street
To a precise beat
Painting shadows on the wall
Well, we cut cars and fly by bars
All for one and one for all
Like a teenage sleaze
A comic book tease
With your art on your sleeve
Well, you know you won't run
You won't hide
And you jump like a son of a gun
Wow
CHOURS
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Oh, lonely
Oh, lonely
Watching people on the walls
Well, Mommy and Daddy thought that they had
me fooled
I wasn't thinking - not at all
Well I got out
I was not gonna stand
In the dark without a light
Forget ill luck
If you belive
That chance should sit and wait
CHOURS
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Dark and evil in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Do not stand in the shadows
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And now we've touched down
Moving all around
Yeah, living to a blaster sound
No preachers teachers freak out man
To the sound of false alarm
They ain't here today
Let me hear you say
You're alive and you're living with me
So, don't try to hide
Don't try to die
In the dark of the night
words and music by: Billy Idol/Steve Stevens, 1986
My road is long, it lingers on.
You stare at me and I'm holding on.
My eyes are dim, my breath is weak
and tears stain my cheeks.
Up there so high where the air is so thin,
You look for signs. Am I giving in?
All for me you bring crashing down,
And still you condemn me.
Oh no no shame. All my life I'll not betray.
I'll not shed one tear for all my life,
For ever more, for ever more.
Sound tow'rs will crumble down,
I see ev'rything is broken down.
His heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
We need a miracle joy, we need a miracle boy,
A rock and roll toy, a rock and roll joy, a rock and roll boy!
Now I know what's up for game.
What's up for grabs, what's down again.
See all for me is crashing down,
The end of ev'rything, ev'ry decent human being.
Oh no no shame. All my life I'll not betray.
I'll shed all my fears all my life,
For ever more, for ever more.
Sound tow'rs will crumble down,
Well, ev'rything will be broke down.
See, his heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
We need a miracle joy, we need a rock and roll boy,
I need a rock and roll joy, a rock and roll toy, a rock and roll boy!
The road is long and it lingers on.
But my eyes are dim, my breath is weak
And tears stain my filthy cheeks.
Sound tow'rs will crumble down,
I see ev'rything is broken down.
Well my heart is breaking and recorded in sound.
I need a miracle joy, I need a miracle now,
That rock and roll boy!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, I'm hangin' on a miracle tree,
yeah, hangin' like a noose for you and me.
Yeah! Said yeah! Right now!

I wanna good time for you and me.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh. All summer single, all summer single, oh.
All summer, all summer, all summer, all summer single,
all summer single, away from home.
All summer, all summer, all summer, all summer single. (Fade out)

One night, one chance, she do most anything,
One night, one chance, she do and dream sweet dreams for you.
Woke up in the morning, I said boy, wake up.
Nothing will be done if you don't get up.
Silence is guilty and the truth can talk.
If you got the legs, boy, come on, let's walk.
One night, one chance for you.
She'd dream sweet dreams for me and you.
Take me out this morning, come on, let me sleep.
Been hard pressed to keep it. Better hold on me.
But silence is guilty and the truth be told.
If you got the legs, boys, come on, let's walk.
Is it over? One night she dreamed for you.
One night, one chance for you.
One day, one night
She dreamed sweet dreams for you.
Woke up this mornig and now the dream was out of sight.
Prison walls are breakin' down, and my threadbare back is whipped right.
Silence is guilty and the truth can talk.
Well yes, I got the legs, boys, and I, yes I walked.
And it's over, I'm glad it's over.
Are you glad it's over? It's over for one night.
One chance for sweet dreams, oh, for you,
For one night, for one chance of success she'll sream and scheme for you.
Oh, oh, one night, oh, one chance she'll dream sweet dreams for you.
One night, one life too. Her hole existence has fallen in two.
