Now I know the truth about you The lie you lived deceiving me All the dreams you will destroy And leave me lost and vulnerable. Hush now baby don't you cry Mother loves you only pressure heavy On her mind Every day brings one more debt Nothing left to pay only tears and Sweat Life goes down, down, down, down Life goes down. Life goes down, down, down, down Life goes down Why do you abuse your friend? It's not her fault that you can't find a Means to an end Can't you see it's working well, The way they turn you against Yourself? Life goes down, down, down, down Life goes down *Reprise is dedicated to Margaret Hilda Thatcher

Boy you and I should hide away As far as love will let us stray We will dance for ever and a day Be together for eternity We shall bloom in our spring affair Steal a kiss beneath the golden moon Run hand in hand without a care And flourish in the summer sun I love you Autumn's breeze blows gently Through your hair To you I give my heart completely And as winter days grow dark and cold I'll keep warm in the glow of your love I love you, yes I do I love you, yes I do I love you I love you

I never cried the way I cried over you As I put down the telephone and the world it carried on Somewhere else, someone else is crying too Another man has lost a friend, I bet he feels the way I do And now I'm left without, but you're here within As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away All the memories of you come rushing back to me As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away All I want to do is kiss you once goodbye Summer comes, I remember how we'd march We'd march for love and pride, together arm in arm Tears have turned, turned to anger and contempt I'll never let you down, a battle I have found And all the dreams we had, I will carry on As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away All the memories of you come rushing back to me As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away All I want to do is kiss you once goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye And all the dreams we had, I will carry on As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away All the memories of you come rushing back to me As I watch the sun go down, watching the world fade away All I want to do is kiss you once goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye
