Click

This version adds a lengthy drum solo introduction, a longer instrumental section and features a different outro. The lyrics are identical, but it loses a single word.
Lyrics:
I walk these streets each and every day
Trying to find some work just to earn my pay
Just to make some plans for you some day
But plans don't work and it's not that fine
When you got no money all you got is time
Don't it make you stop and wonder why

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town

I walk these streets each and every night
Feel like I'm playing my role but it fits too tight
Watch my life go by in black and white
When times are hard and times are rough
Then you better be made of sterner stuff
You'll find it's time to stop and wonder why

I'm smoking, I'm burning
I'm twisting and turning
But one thing I'm learning
It's the power of your love keeps me under their thumb
'Cos the beat of your heart is the beat of my drum
Don't it make you stop and wonder why

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
I wanna burn down this crazy town

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
Sometimes I wanna burn down this crazy town

Sometimes I feel like a man on fire
Sometimes I feel like a man possessed
I wanna burn down this crazy town

Click

Lyrics:
We're out of luck, we're out of time
We're out of luck, we're out of line
Now we're on the borderline
We've really gone and done
This is a strange frontier

People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier
We're out of luck, we're out of time
We're out of luck, we're out of line
Now we're on the borderline
We've really gone and done it this time
But this is a strange frontier

Into the shadows from out of the light
Into the darkness and into the night
We're off the tracks, we're off the lines
You and me seen better times
Now we're on the borderline
And I wish I wasn't here
People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier

Freedom fighters come and go
Bloody righteous, and mentally slow
We're on the skids, we're off the lines
Trapped inside these dangerous times
Now we've reached the borderline
Can start to smell the fear
People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Had some good times, had some fun
Soon our problems could be none

We're on the skids, we're off the lines
We're out of luck, we're out of time
Now we're on the borderline
We've nearly gone and done it this time
People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier

Freedom fighters (ah-ah-ah) come and go (ah-ah-ah)
Bloody righteous (ah-ah-ah) and mentally slow (ah-ah-ah)
We're out of work (ah-ah-ah) we're out of time (ah-ah-ah)
We're out of luck (ah-ah-ah) we're out of line
Now we're on the borderline (ah-ah-ah)
We've really gone and done it this time (ah-ah-ah)
People say it could never happen here
But this is a strange frontier

Take your children while you can
But there's nowhere you can run
No more tears and no more fun
Someday soon they'll drop the big one
No more dad and no more mum
This is a strange frontier

Lyrics:
You had to kill the conversation
You always had the upper hand
Got caught in love and stepped in sinking sand (sand, sand)
You had to go and ruin all our plans

Packed your bags and you're leaving home
Got a one way ticket and you're all set to go
But we have one more day together, so

Love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

I guess we drift alone in separate ways
I don't have all that far to go
God knows, I've learnt to play the lonely man
I've never felt so low in all my life

We were born to be just losers
So I guess there's a limit on how far we go
But we only have one more day together, so (oooh, ooh, oooh, ooooh)

Love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

Tomorrow - God knows just where I'll be
Tomorrow - who knows just what's in store for me
Anything can happen but we only have one more day together, yeah (oooohhh)
Just one more day forever, so (ooooh, ah, ah, ah, ahh)

Love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

So love me like there's no tomorrow
Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it
This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over
But today just love me like there's no tomorrow

Lyrics:
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, pretender, pretender, pretender, pretender
Pretender, pretender, pretender, pretender (ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh)
Pretender, pretender, pretender, pretender (ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh)
Pretender, pretender, pretender, pretender
Pretender, pretender, pretender (ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh)

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, pretender, pretender, pretender
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes (ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh)
Oh yes, pretender, pretender , pretender (ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh)
Pretender, pretender, pretender, pretender
Pretender, pretender, pretender (ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-oooh)

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh)
My need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no-one can tell

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh)
I play the game
But to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe (oooooh, make believe)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal (oooh, ooh, oooh, ooh, oooh)

Oh, oh yes, I'm the great pretender (oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see (oooh, oooh, oh, you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Yeah (ooooh-oh-ooh-oh-oooh)
Woo-hoo
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal (real, feel, what my heart)

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're

Still around
Around
Oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh
Real, feel, what my heart

Yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're

Pretending that you're still around


Time
Click

This version has a slightly longer intro, and features a saxophone solo and also an additional verse.
Lyrics:
Time waits for nobody (ooooh, oooh)
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for nobody (ooooh, ooh, oooh)
We all must plan our hopes together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody

We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
But it seems to me we've not listened to
Or spoken about it all
The fact that time is running out
For us all

Time
Waits for nobody
Time waits for no-one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time
It waits for nobody

You don't need me tell you what's gone wrong (gone wrong, gone wrong)
You know what's going on
But it seems to me we've not cared enough (ooooh, oooh)
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall

Time
Time
We've got to trust in one another (ooooh, oooh)
Or there'll be no more future at all
(Time)

Time waits for nobody, no, no
Time don't wait for no-one
Let's learn to be friends with one another (ooooh, oooh)
Or there'll be no more future at all

Time, time, time, time
Waits for nobody
Waits for nobody
Time, time, time, time
Waits for nobody at all

Time waits for nobody
Ooooh, oooh
There'll be no more future at all

Time, time, time, time
Waits for nobody
Waits for nobody
Time, time, time, time
Waits for nobody at all

Time waits for nobody, yeah
Time don't wait (don't wait), waits for no-one
Let us free this world forever (ooooh, oooh)
And build a brand new future for us all
Ahh, ah, ahh, ah
Time
Waits for nobody, nobody, nobody
For no-one

Time don't wait for nobody at all

Well I open my eyes
Hey what do you say
What a big surprise
Another brand new day


Well I gave you the key
With no questions asked
My love surrender
Goodbye to the past

'Cos you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart

Well I gave you the key
To a love divine
You hid it away
Where the sun don't shine

'Cos you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
Yeah, you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart

Yes, you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
Yeah, you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart

In charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
In charge of my heart

In charge of my heart

This version has been extensively remixed, and features a lengthy instrumental intro and new instrumental sections. It also includes a longer outro.
Lyrics:
(Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh)
(Ooh-oh-ah-ah-ah-aah)
Ah-wah-ha
(Liar)

When my lady walks in the room
The lights come on to her sweet perfume
I didn't know the devils by her side
There I stood, I had nothing to hide

My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mystery
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar
You're a liar

I wasn't watching for the danger signs
And I never read between the lines
She says 'c'mon boy can you do your thing' (your thing, your thing, your thing)
So I turned around still wondering

When my love dances she makes me cry
My love dances with me tonight
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar, oh
You're a liar
A liar, hit it
But I'm still burning with desire

With the look of a panther
I got lost in the jungle
Now I can't help myself again
I can't help myself
Baby you're a liar
That's why I love you

I wasn't watching for the danger signs
And I never read between the lines
She says 'c'mon boy can you do your thing' (your thing, your thing, your thing)
So I turned around still wondering

My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mystery
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know

Baby you're a liar, oh yeah
You're a liar
A liar, oh yeah
You're a liar
A liar, oh
You're a liar
A liar, hit it
But I'm still burning with desire

(Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh) baby you're a liar, yeah
(Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh) yeah, baby you're a liar
You're a liar
(Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh)
(Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh)

(Ooh-oh-ah-ah-ah-aah)

Lyrics:

And here comes trouble

Manipulator
Can you see the way he twists you 'round his little finger
Manipulator
Um, dressed to tease, if looks could please, I'll see you later
Cold green eyes, you've grown to despise
Manipulator
He'll stab your back, but don't look back

Manipulator
He pushes the bell with his finger
Don't you stop, don't you linger
Check out his new bore, oh, how many more has he got in store?

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah) Check out, manipulator, ch-ch-ch-check out

Check out
Lower than low
Lower than low
Low, low, lower than low
Check out

Ooh, trouble
Ch-check out
Manipulator
And here comes trouble

A prime time top investigator
Manipulator
Playboy lover, so undercover

Jealousy was not his history
Come on now, how low can you go
Not much lower than lower than low
Check out

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aah) Manipulator, ch-ch-ch-check out

Lyrics:
Hey
I was searching for the answer
But I didn't know where to start
So I went down to the doctor
Took a look in his black box


He said what are you searching for
You don't need this to free your mind
And all the crowd sing
It's time out for the rat race
Feed on it, my one true desire


Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star

Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star


Know what he said?
He said I'll take you on a journey
Across sea and over land
To see the death and the destruction
Brought about by our own hands

And all around the world
(Oooh, oooh, oooh) check in the Last Chance Motel
And all the crowd sing
It's time out for the rat race
Feed on it my one true desire

Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star


Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star

Push, push, push, push, push
Push, push, push, push, push
Push on through, push on through

Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star

Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star

Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star

Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star

Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star

Now we got the power to love
We got the power
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star

We got the power

This version features an instrumental intro, and additional instrumental sections throughout.
Lyrics:
Yeah, you ain't wearing a tie, you ain't got a jacket
You can't come in 'cos you're in the wrong bracket, yeah
You can shove it

VIP's and royalty get treated like their special see
But the trick is there for all to see
They're people just like you and me
You can shove it
Girls - we love it
Cars - we love it
More girls - we love it
And late night bars - we love it
Pool - we love it
School - fantasy
What do you do?
You can shove it

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You gotta talk, act and dress right
If you ain't got money they treat you funny
When they say the class system's dead
If you think that's true better get a new head

You can shove it (you can shove it, you can shove it)

War - it's a rage
Hate - never fades
Politicians - uncool
Blind dates - as a rule (yeah)
We're above it
Get set - you can shove it
What do you do?
Shove it

What do you do?
I said what do you do?

We got first class, second class
Upper class, till it's up your ass
So why do people scrape and fuss
When every man's the same as us
It's a joke on all humanity
It's privilege
And we don't need it
War - shove it
Hate - shove it
Politicians - don't cut it
Blind dates - gonna shove it
Girl schools - we love 'em, yeah
Crazy rules - shove it
What do you do?

You can shove it
You can shove it
Fantasy
Shove it
Shove it
You can shove it
Shove it
Shove it
