The Lonely Heart Hotel
I was lying on my sack, feeling slack, something was lacking
I was feeling thin, the shape I'm in, something is missing
I need to get out and about and do something
'Cos while I'm lying here it is clear I'm good for nothing
I've gotta get out, I've gotta do something
Get my blood pumping and shake my stuff
I've gotta get out and get back into shape
Straighten-up and lift my head
And rise to the occasion
So out of the house, I went, hell-bent, for some fun
I decided in my mind it was time, to get things done
So I headed into town, looked around, for some action
I followed the sound and I found the main attraction
And there stood before me - a beautiful sight to see
I've gotta get out, I've gotta do something
Get my blood pumping and shake my stuff
I've gotta get out, get back into shape
Straighten-up and lift my head and rise to the occasion
But everybody in the street only wandered by
The pubs were the places where they raced to enjoy their night
But I liked what I saw and the doors drew me near
I lifted my head and I said, "Can I come in?"
I've gotta get out, I've gotta do something
Get my blood pumping and shake my stuff
I've gotta get out, get back into shape
Straighten-up and lift my head and rise to the occasion
When I went to enter in the center
They said "no!"
The two fat, hairy, lippy bouncers
Said I had to go
Always remember to bring a member
If you wanna enter in
If you haven't got such then you haven't much
Chance of succeeding
I've gotta get in, I've gotta do something
I've gotta find a member for things to begin
I've got get in, I was feeling in shape
Now I'm feeling down, can't believe what they said
After rising for the occasion
I wandered off well pissed-off
With my head hung low
A member I had to find, although a bind
I had to go
So I went to a bar not too far
Down the hill
Got talking to a few about a view
To a thrill
I said, "Can you get me in?"
"Yeh! Sure, that's cool
Johnny's a member
When Johnny and I arrived
The doors opened at last
But they stopped us getting in, said one thing
Before we passed
"Now wait, get this straight
Before you enter in
Remember John' you've gotta get on
For things to begin"
I'm going in - the fun will soon begin
I'll get the hotel rocking and make the room spin
I'm going in - the fun will soon begin
I'll get the hotel rocking and make the room spin
I'm going in - the fun will soon begin
I'll get the hotel rocking and make the room spin
I'm going in - the fun will soon begin
I'll get the hotel rocking and make the room spin
I'm going in - the fun will soon begin
I'll get the hotel rocking and make the room spin
"See the sign, 'NO SPEWING ALLOWED!'
The member, Johnny, will be liable for spillages
Within the hotel
You may now enter
I was feeling thin, the shape I'm in, something is missing
I need to get out and about and do something
'Cos while I'm lying here it is clear I'm good for nothing
I've gotta get out, I've gotta do something
Get my blood pumping and shake my stuff
I've gotta get out and get back into shape
Straighten-up and lift my head
And rise to the occasion
So out of the house, I went, hell-bent, for some fun
I decided in my mind it was time, to get things done
So I headed into town, looked around, for some action
