Mystery Girl 03:10
Mystery Girl She walks through the night with her lights on You scream but you just can’t be heard She sings a song of emotion The mystery girl She speaks in a foreign language Has a name that nobody knows She has a strange magnetic attraction The mystery girl Chorus She can make you do things that you don’t want to And all with a look from her eyes If she wants you she’s as good as got you She’s evil, inviting, beware the mystery girl If it’s love that you want she’s not got it She’s into sadistic pleasures of the flesh And the men that she’s had weren’t heard of again The mystery girl The people can’t understand it She should have been arrested by now But she’s got the police under her power The mystery girl Repeat chorus

I Should’ve Known Better As the southbound train left the station, leaving from the north I didn’t want it to go but it looked like I had no choice She was a movie star of some proportions She worked for the ITV In a Cadbury’s chocolate commercial And as a dog for a brand of DDT Chorus (She’s got me singing) I should’ve known better (Standing on the platform) I should’ve known better (As the train leaves) Than believe in you (She’s got me singing) I should’ve known better (Standing on the platform) I should’ve known better (As the train leaves) Than believe in you She made me look like such a fool and when I think of her I still burn And I lead an empty life now and I wait for her return She blew me up and she let me down And she worked her way into my brain And I crave to touch a body that I will never see again Repeat chorus
