Time For Action Written by Dave Cairns
Standing in the shadows, Where the in-crowd meet We're all dressed up for the evening We hate the punk elite (who are the punk elite) So take me to your leader Because its time you realised... CHORUS That this is the time This is the time for action (time for action) This is the time to be seen (time to be seen) This is the time for action Time to be seen They can laugh in our face Cos we know we're right Looking good's the answer And living by night So take me to your leader Because its time you realised... REPEAT CHORUS Look at Sweet Julia Speeding on the late night train They're laughing at the way she dresses Too smart and clean But she don't care because she know's she's right And you know we're only two steps away REPEAT CHORUS AS LIB TO FADE |
One Day In Your Life Written by Page/Cairns One day, you may have it all your own way

But dont close your eyes (and I believe that) Chorus
But dont close your eyes (and I believe that) Chorus Repeat Did you ever stop to think about the world
as a whole? (and I believe that) Chorus Repeat |
Shake and Shout (Cairns and Page)

Glory Boys (Cairns/Page)
I'm just another Glory Boy So scared of getting old Shout hurrah for us Glory Boys With eyes of lead and hearts of Gold!
Hey Dont Crowd me I wanna be second to none Hey won't you give me a break Im gonna be the only one see us roaming those London Streets Feel those lasting stares look on old fashioned feet CHORUS Cause we're the Glory Boys So scared of getting old We're the Glory Boys we may look cold but our hearts are gold.

I can cut you down by combing my hair Nothing touches a Glory Boy We look too good for you If you wanna know about us You gotta be one too REPEAT CHORUS We're the new fashion kings Iced cold stares and clothes so neat We've seen the darker side of life New found kings of the street Glory Girl on your arm You're so young and proud Ain't no in crowd freak ever gonna knock us down CHORUS |
My World (Dave Cairns) I can feel that
taste for life slipping away,
Well the mind has its reasons
for talking aloud Chorus (Middle 8 sax Break)

Ride (Ian Page) I was standing at the point of no return,
And I Ride .. The City of dreams lies broken behind me
And I Ride . There are High roads, Low Roads, Crossroads
And I Ride

I Could Be You (Cairns/Page) Everyone's a hero now, No matter who no matter how, A thousand voices shout as one Look at me I'm number one. Chorus I could be you If I wanted to I could be you ,If I wanted to A thousand voices call my name, All shout at once it sounds the same. Look at me in my uniform Inside the crowd where it's safe and warm If you saw the eyes behind their cries you'd know, Why the people in a crowd feel so alone. Chorus I could be you If wanted to. I could be you, If I wanted to |

One Voice In The Darkness Cairns/Page One voice and the sound of silent screaming, Is this real life can the movie keep on running? Chorus One voice in the darkness
can sing into the light, Freeze frame living unthinking, unforgiving Stop the world spinning I want to get on, My feet are on the ground but this is dirt I'm standing on Chorus Repeat |
What was the inspiration for Soho Dreams? "Note the two references
to "City of Dreams" in this and Think what an i-pod does to the Quadrophenia album. Anyway... " Ian Page
Soho Dreams Still the red light burns, The tourists stare at the cardboard lairs.
Welcome home calls the City of Dreams |
Lost In The Night Cairns/Page Stealing softly through the night See the shadow of Mack the Knife, He's come to steal your dreams away, To sell them off and make them pay. Billy and Runaround Sue They know exactly what to do, They've found a dream that's new They're gonna keep it safe for me and you. Through the alley and down the hall Mack the Knife will chase you all With dark intent and thoughts unkind He creeps up on you from behind Billy and Runaround SueThey know exactly what to do Fight to keep a dream alive Hungry hearts shout out,I will survive Chorus Close the door put out the light Mack the Knife is out tonight Take your dreams and hold them tight Or you'll get lost in the night. From the Thames and up The Strand See the shadow of a darker man The ghastly fire in Soho Seven Children at a go. Billy and Runaround Sue They know exactly what to do, They've found a dream that's new They're gonna keep it safe for me and you. Repeat Chorus |

So Cool (Ian Page) So cool you wear the black night like a suit, She's only waiting for a pick-up from the likes of you. Me I'm on the outside and in another room, A girl crying on my shoulder we'll make love at noon. Untouchable you, you wear your girlfriend like a tie, A party decoration to please the eye. Me I've had too much to drink, at the wrong time, And always pick the girl with the wrong star sign. Chorus So who are you to call me fool? And tell me what do you do, That makes you so cool? So cool with your Jensen, purr-fectly parked, And sunglasses worn around your heart. So no one gets the chance to see if you're playing a part, Are you crying inside when you quietly laugh? Chorus repeat
