released: May 1980

11 O'CLOCK TICK TOCK

It's cold outside
It gets so hot in here
The boys and girls collide
To the music in my ear.

I hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home.

A painted face
And I know we haven't long
We thought that we had the answers
It was the questions we had wrong.

I hear the children crying
And I know it's time to go
I hear the children crying
Take me home.

Say so, say so
Say so, say so

TOUCH
 
Thank-you, don't mention it
I'm pleased to meet you
I don't think I'm very good at this
Let me show you, I just wanna know, I just wanna know

Falling the world is by your side
Calling to find a place to hide
I just wanna know
I just wanna know

She said "The twenty second floor"
I said "I can't think what that's for"
And I just wanna know
I just wanna know

Touching you, touching you, touching you
