I had a dream
oh what a dream
I saw the shape
of things to come
then I awoke
it was no joke
I'd seen the shape
of things to come.

Kitsch is a beautiful word
it's a beautiful word
it's a beautiful lullabye.

I saw a queen
all dressed in green
but I could see
she had no soul
I see the moon
shining in June
what we all need
is Rock and Roll.

Kitsch is a beautiful word
it's a beautiful word
it's a beautiful lullabye.

Old plastic macs
and caddilacs
prawn cocktails
steak
and lovely wine
just do your thing
and we'll all sing
so here we go
now take your time.

Kitsch is a beautiful word
it's a beautiful word
it's a beautiful lullabye

You went away and left long time ago
Now your knocking on my door
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been

I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now your telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been

You better get back to your used to be
'Cause your kind of love ain't good for me
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking 
Go back where you been

I told you way back in '52
That I would never go with you
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been

It's five o'clock
and I walk through the empty streets
thoughts fill my head
but then still
No one speaks to me
My mind takes me back
to the years that have passed me by

[interlude]

It is so hard te believe
that it's me
that I see
in the window pane
It it so hard to believe
that all this the way
that it has to be
It's five o'clock
and I walk through the empty streets
The night is my friend
And in him
I find sympathy thus so
And so I go back to the years that have past me by

[interlude]

It is so hard to believe
that it's me
that I see
in the window pane
It it so hard to believe
that all this the way
that it has to be

It's five o'clock
and I walk through the empty streets
The night is my friend
And in him I find sympathy
He gives me day
gives me hope
and a little dream too

Have you been broken hearted once or twice?
If it's yes, how did you feel at his first lies?
If it's no, you need this good advice:
Never marry a railroad man
He loves you every now and then
His heart is at his mule train, no-no-no
Don't fall in love with a railroad man
If you do, forget him if you can
You're better off without him, aaaah
Have you ever been restless in your bed?
And so lonely that your eyes became wet?
Let me tell you that one thing...
Mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
No-no-no
Never marry a railroad man
He loves you every now and then
His heart is at his mule train, no-no-no
Don't fall in love with a railroad man
If you do, forget him if you can
You're better off without him, aaaah
No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no

I gave my heart and soul to you, girl
Didn't I do it baby.... didn't I do it baby
Gave you the love you never knew, girl
Didn't I do it baby... didn't I do it baby
I've tried so many times and that's no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I, oh
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I,
Listen
I thought that heart of yours was true, girl
Now didn't I think it baby, babe... didn't I think it baby
But this time I'm really leavin' you, girl
Hope you know it baby... hope you know it baby
Ten times or more, yes, I've walked out that door
Get this into your head, there'll be no more
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I, oh
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
Didn't I do it baby... didn't I do it baby
Didn't I do it baby... didn't I do it baby
Ten times or more, yes, I've walked out that door
Get this into your head, there'll be no more
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I, oh
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
I got to live baby
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I, oh
Didn't I blow your mind this time, didn't I
