SIMPLE MINDS
- Up On The Catwalk Lyrics / with translations... One Two, One Two Three Four ...
Up on the catwalk
Big wheel is spinning and
Doll is to Deutschmarks and
Pennies from heaven and
Up on the catwalk there's
One hundred million with
Letters from thousands that
say just who are you, there's
one thousand names that can
spring up from my mind but
you'd call it blackmail and
that's just not my kind and
Up on the catwalk and
Up on the catwalk and
I don't know why
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
Up on the catwalk there's
street politicians that
crawl in from Broadway and say
"Then, who are you?" and
Up on the catwalk there's
One thousand postcards from
Montevideo say
that I'll be home tonight
Get out of Bombay and
Go up to Bridgestone and
And look around to say
just what is missing and
Up on the catwalk and
Girls call for mother and
Dream of their boyfriends and
I don't know why
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light,
I'll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light,
Surrender everything to me.
Up on the catwalk and
You dress in waistcoats and
Got brilliant Dino and
Friends of confuse me and
Flip through the nighttime like
Mine up from heaven but
But what do I know and
Just what do I know and
Up on the catwalk and
They sweat that glistens and
I don't know why and
I don't know why
I don't know why
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
Tonight, under the crystal light,
I'll tell you everything I need
Tonight, under the crystal light,
Surrender everything to me.
Angel, angel, angel, angel
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
One thousand names that spring up in my mind
Like Dio Donna, Mike Collins you know, Robert DeNiro, so many others
Natassia Kinski and Martin Luther
There's room for others away from me, ohh
Up on the catwalk
Up on the catwalk
Up on the catwalk
I don't know why
Up on the catwalk [walk]
Up on the catwalk
Up on the catwalk
I don't know why
Up on the catwalk [walk]
Up on the catwalk
Up on the catwalk
I don't know why
