Song lyrics

The Power Station (1985)

• We want to multiply, are you gonna do it?
  I know you qualify, are you gonna do it?
  Don't be so circumscribed, are you gonna do it?
  Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it?

  Feel the heat pushing you to decide
  Feel the heat burning you up, ready or not.

  Some like it hot, and some sweat when the heat is on.
  Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on.
  Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'till you try.
  Some like it hot, so let's turn up the heat 'till we fry.

  • "Some Like It Hot", written by Andy Taylor, John Taylor, and Robert Palmer

• Airmail, cassettes, postcards, telex
  Drop me a line, be my grapevine
  I'm always trying to reach you, can't get through
  Our communication depends on me and you.
  • "Communication", written by Derek Bramble, Robert Palmer, Andy Taylor, and John Taylor

Living in Fear (1996)

• What good's a rock without a roll
  It's a sorry lookin donut if it doesn't have a hole
  She gets so hot she's infra-red
  She can show you a position that's prohibited.
  • "She Can Rock It"
