The Bell
1999
Lyrics
I fix my hair 'cause my baby comes at seven
Changed my clothes about a million times today, yeah, yeah...
Tonight's the night she will take me up to heaven
I know this time we're going all the way
She is my new horizon
She is so true, she is my moonshine (moonshine)
What can I do about it?
My life gets brighter every day
The doorbell rings, it must be her, it's almost seven
but the bailiff's there with some bills I didn't pay...
Just as you expect your lover
It's a neighbour or some clown
Stupid milkman, total stranger
What the hell is goin' down?
Hey, are you happy now - there's no one at the doorbell ringing - but yourself
I'm fixing dinner for my first blind-date ever
and smoke is rising from the microwave, yeah, yeah
The bell - jump up - eight-o-clock - it must be Heather
but it's a fireman asking me "Where is the blaze?"
Just as you expect your lover
It's a neighbour or some clown
Stupid milkman, total stranger
What the hell is goin' down?
Hey, are you happy now - there's no one at the doorbell ringing - but yourself
Busy postman, Dr. Labour - no policemen - turn me down
no Jehova, nor a saviour, Hare Krishna turn around
Clinton, Arafat or Hoessein, Prince & Mayte go away
Bill & Monica or Jeltsin, Mr. Gates another day
Luciella, Ellen, Cindy Crawford, Schiffer, McCarthey - neither way
Please stop ringing Queen of Holland - maybe next time King of Spain
Aldrin, Armstrong, Collins, Lovell - in fact, all NASA: blow away!
Dave & Goliath, Trojan Horses
Zeus or Salamon, potatoes, China, Pakistan, Norway
