Lyrics

Spice Up Your Life

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

When you're feeling sad and low
We will take you where you gotta go
Smiling, dancing, everything is free
All you need is positivity

Colours of the world
Spice up your life
Every boy and every girl
Spice up your life
People of the world
Spice up your life
Aaahh....!

Chorus
Slam it to the left
If you're having a good time
Shake it to the right
If you know that you feel fine
Chicas to the front
Ha! Ha! Go round
Slam it to the left
If you're having a good time
Shake it to the right
If you know that you feel fine
Chicas to the front
Hi c ya hold tight

La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

Yellow man in Timbuktu
Colour for both me and you
Kung fu fighting
Dancing queen
Tribal spaceman
And all that's in between

Colours of the world
Spice up your life
Every boy and every girl
Spice up your life
People of the world
Spice up your life
Aaahh....!

Repeat chorus

Flamenco
Lambada
But hip-hop is harder
We moonwalk the foxtrot
Then polka the salsa
Shake Shake Shake haka
Shake Shake Shake haka
Arriba!

Colours of the world
Spice up your life
Every boy and every girl
Spice up your life
People of the world
Spice up your life
Aaahh....!

Repeat chorus 2x

Stop

You just walked in
I make you smile
It's cool but
You don't even know me

You take an inch
I run a mile
Can't win you're
Always right behind me

And we know that you can go and find some other
Take or leave it 'cause we've always got each other

Caught in a craze
It's just a phase
Or will this be around forever
Don't you know you're going too fast?
Racin' so hard you know it won't last
Don't you know, why can't you see
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you're going

Chorus
Stop right now, thank you very much
I need somebody with the human touch
Hey you, always on the run
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun

Do, do, do, do, do (x3)
Always be together
Ba, da, ba, ba (x3)
Stay that way forever

And we know that you could go and find some other
Take or leave it 'cause we've always got each other
You know who you are and yes, you're gonna breakdown
You've crossed the line so you're gonna have to turn around
Don't you know it's going too fast
Racing so hard you know it won't last
Don't you know, why can't you see
Slow it down, read the sign, so you know just where you're going

Repeat chorus

Gotta keep it down honey, lay your back on the line
'Cause I don't care about the money, don't go wasting my time
You need
Less speed, get off my case
You gotta slow it down baby, just get out of my face

Repeat chorus three times

Stop right now, we wanna thank you, wanna thank you
Stop right now, thank you very much, thank you very much

Too Much

Love is blind, as far as the eye can see
Deep and meaningless, words to me
Easy lover, I need a friend
Road to nowhere, twist and turns but will this never end

Well my dear you'll know that he pleases me (pleases me)
But short-time solution ain't no resolution
There ain't no release for me

Chorus
Too much of something is bad enough
But something's coming over me to make me wonder
Too much of nothing is just as tough
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied

Unwrap yourself, from around my finger
Hold me too tight or left to linger
Something fine built to last
Slipped up there I guess we're running out of time too fast

Yes my dear you know he soothes me (moves me)
There's no complication there's no explanation
It's just a groove in me

Chorus
Too much of something is bad enough
But something's coming over me to make me wonder
Too much of nothing is just as tough
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied

What part of no don't you understand (understand understand)
I want a man not a boy who thinks he can

Boy who thinks he can

Repeat chorus

Too much of nothing so why don't we give it a try
Too much of something we're gonna be living a lie

Repeat till fade

Saturday Night Divas

Repeat 3x
Get down get deeper and down
Get down get deeper and down
Saturday night

Get down deeper and down
Get down get deeper and down

I'm not alone
No you're not in my mind
You were the victim of your crime
I left you behind

Boy you were a fool
To treat me that way
Not going to let you
I'm going to forget you
There's nothing to say

You're a twisted lover
Kiss and telling on a superstar
That's what you are
Well it was Saturday night
I know the feeling was right
I didn't know we'd get so far

Chorus
Get down get deeper and down
Get down get deeper and down
Saturday night

Get down deeper and down
Get down get deeper and down
Saturday night

Get down get deeper and down
Get down get deeper and down
Saturday night

Get down deeper and down
Get down get deeper and down

Take it from me
You know I mean what I'm saying
Better watch out, you'd better wise up
To mind games he's playing

He may have the looks
He may have the charms
But where does he go
What does he do when he's not in your arms?

Keep your head up high
Don't you know you are the superfly
And that ain't no lie
Well it's a Saturday night
You know the feeling is right
Don't you know we'll get so high

Repeat chorus

Repeat 2x
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

You're a twisted lover, kiss and telling on a superstar
That's what you are
Well it was Saturday night
I know the feeling was right
I didn't know we'd get so far

Repeat chorus 2x Wanna get down, wanna get down, wanna get down
Saturday night (x4)

Chorus fades out

Never Give Up On The Good Times

She used to be a chancer, sparkle in the rain
Told me she needed a friend
If she's going crazy, baby's on the way
Seems like the day never ends

Everybody needs some affection
Never shines (never shines) gotta try (gotta try)
Wherever you're going

Chorus:
Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up no, never give it up no oh oh)
Never give up on the good times, living it up is a state of mind
(Never give it up no, never give it up oh oh)

Bossanova baby, heart is never soul
Shouting but he's never heard
Eyes all wide and open, streets are paved with gold
Someone come back on their world

Everybody needs some affection (ah, ah, ah)
Never shines (never shines) gotta try (gotta try)
Wherever you're going

Down and dirty city, feeling outta place
Maybe you're ran outta time
Treats her like a lady, smile upon her face
Make up the last of the lines
Everybody needs some affection
Never shines (never shines) gotta try (gotta try)
Wherever you're going

Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up no, never give it up no oh oh)
Never give up on the good times, living it up is a state of mind
(Never give it up no, never give it up oh oh)
Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the the love you find
(Never give it up)
Never give up on the good times, living it up is a state of mind
(Believe in the love that you find)

Hey now look around, pick yourself up off the ground
I said hey now look around, pick yourself up off the ground
I said hey now look around, pick yourself up off the ground
I said (Never give up) hey now look around
Pick yourself up off the ground
I said hey now look around, pick yourself up off the ground

I said (never give up) hey now look around
Pick yourself up off the ground
I said hey now look around
pick yourself up off the ground
I said (never give up) hey now look around
Pick yourself up off the ground

I said never give up
I said never give up
I said never give up

Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the love you find
(Never give it up, never give it up no oh oh)
Never give up on the good times, living it up is a state of mind
(Never give it up, never give it up no oh oh)
Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the the love you find
(Never give it up)
Never give up on the good times, living it up is a state of mind
Never give up on the good times, gotta believe in the the love you find
(Never give it up, never give it up no oh oh)
Never give up on the good times, living it up is a state of mind
(Never give it up, never give it up no oh oh)

(Repeat to fade)

Do It

Hey
Come on, come on, come on

Come on and do it (2x)
Hey
Do it, do it, do it

It's just another thing keep your eye fixed on the road
Do what your mama said
I will not be told
Keep your mouth shut, keep your legs shut
Go back in your place
Blameless, shameless, damsel in disgrace

Who cares what they say
Because the rules are for breaking
Who made them anyway
You gotta show what you feel
Don't hide

Chorus
Come on and do it
Don't care how you look, it's just how you feel
Come on and do it
You gotta make it real
Come on and do it
It's time to free what's in your soul
You gotta get it right, this time
Come on freak out lose control

Remember things like this should be seen and never heard
Give a little respect to me and it will be returned
Keep your head down, keep your nose clean
Go back against the wall
Girl there's no way out for you
You are sure to fall

Who cares what they do
Because it's yours for the taking
So it's not for you anyway
Make your own rules to live by

Repeat chorus

You might do the wrong thing (might do the wrong thing)
For the right reasons (for the right reasons)
Don't just do the right thing (don't do the right thing)
To be pleasing (to be pleasin', baby)

Who cares what they say
Because the rules are for breaking
Who made them anyway
You gotta show what you feel don't hide

Repeat chorus 3x

Denying

Ooh yeah yeah come on

You think you're quick but I'd like to see you keep up with me
You think you're slick but I'd like to see you pull a trick on me
You think you're so cool, hey big man you're old school
You think you're smart but who the hell d'ya think you're talking to

Bridge
Everyone can see who you are
Take a look at yourself
Tell me why keep on denying

Chorus
Everything you say (denying) everything you do
So be a fool to yourself forever more, trying
Any kind of move (tell me) so what's it gonna prove
You ain't fooling nobody, you ain't fooling nobody but yourself

I know you're sweet, but I know you don't wanna be seen that way
Admit defeat, win or lose, who cares it's just a game you play
I know you need me, If you stay that way it's never gonna be
You got your style, but I know what you really want from me

Repeat bridge

Repeat chorus

Ha, ha, check yourself
Check yourself, but don't forget yourself, 'cause you're denying
Ha ha, ha ha, check yourself, ha, and don't forget yourself
Check yourself, but don't forget yourself, 'cause you're denying
You're getting everything you are and even everything you need, that's life, come on
Ha ha, check yourself

Repeat bridge

Repeat chorus

Everything you say, denying (everything you say)
Everything you do (everything you do)
So be a fool to yourself forever more (more), trying
Any kind of move (any kind of move), tell me
So what's it gonna prove (what's it gonna prove)
You ain't fooling nobody, you ain't fooling nobody, denying

Viva Forever

Do you still remember, how we used to be
Feeling together, believe in whatever
My love has said to me

Both of us were dreamers
Young love in the sun
Felt like my saviour, my spirit I gave you
We'd only just begun

Hasta ma�ana, always be mine

Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting like the sun
Live forever for the moment
Ever searching for the one

Yes, I still remember, every whispered word
The touch of your skin
Giving life from within like a love song that I'd heard

Slipping through our fingers, like the sands of time
Promises made
Every memory saved has reflections in my mind

Hasta ma�ana, always be mine (be mine)

Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting like the sun
Live forever for the moment
Ever searching for the one

Back where I belong now, was it just a dream
Feelings unfold
They will never be sold and your secret's safe with me

Hasta ma�ana, always be mine (be mine)

Viva forever (viva forever), I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
Everlasting (everlasting) like the sun (like the sun)
Live forever (live forever) for the moment (for the moment)
Ever searching (ever searching) for the one (for the one)

Viva forever (viva forever), I'll be waiting
Everlasting like the sun
Live forever (live forever) for the moment
Ever searching for the one

Viva forever (viva forever), I'll be waiting
Everlasting like the sun
Live Forever (live forever) for the moment
Ever searching for the one (for the one)

Viva forever, I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
Everlasting like the sun
Live forever (live forever) for the moment
Ever searching for the one (for the one)

The Lady is a Vamp

Elvis was a coola shaker
Marley, Ziggy Melody Maker
She's a Bond Babe, kick some ass
Doctor No, this girl's got class
Charlie's Angels, girls on top
Handbags, heels, their pistols rock
Baby Love are so glam queen
Sing the blues a love supreme
Sixties Twiggy set the pace
Way back then she had the face

That's all in the past, legends built to last
But she's got something new
She's a power girl in a nineties' world
And she knows just what to do

Chorus
'Cause the lady is a vamp
She's a vixen not a tramp
She's a dadadadada da da
Come on fellows, place your bets
'cause you ain't seen nothing yet
She's the top of the top she's the best

Jackie O we loved her so
Sorry, Mr. President as far as we know
Norma Jean had a seven-year itch
Some like it hot to a fever pitch
Sandy Denny summer love
Pink Ladies t-birds, the moon above

That's all in the past
Legends built to last
But she's got something new
She's a power girl in a nineties' world
And she knows just what to do

Repeat chorus

Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh
Sporty, yes, now that's your lot
We're the Spice Girls ready to go
Ladies and gents can you please take your seats
And we hope that you enjoy the show

Thank you very much
