Welcome to the Pleasuredome Lyrics


The world is my oyster
Ha ha ha ha ha
Life goes on day after day
Who-ha who-ha
Who-ha who-ha
Ha
The animals are winding me up
The jungle call
The jungle call
Who-ha who-ha who-ha who-ha
In Xanadu did Kublai Khan
A pleasure dome erect
Moving on keep moving on-yeah
Moving at one million miles an hour
Using my power
I sell it by the hour

I have it so I market it
You really can't afford it-yeah
Really can't afford it
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
There goes a supernova
What a pushover-yeah
There goes a supernova
What a pushover
We're a long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasure dome
On our way home
Going home where lovers roam
Long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasure dome
Moving on Keep moving on
I will give you diamonds by the shower
Love your body even when it's old
Do it just as only I can do it
We're a long way from home
Welcome to the pleasure dome
On our way home
Going home where lovers roam
Welcome to the pleasure dome
Keep moving on
Got to reach the top
Don't stop
Pay love and life-oh my
Keep moving on
On again-yeah
Shooting stars never stop
Shooting stars never stop
Shooting stars never stop
Even when they reach the top
There goes a supernova
What a pushover
Who-ha who-ha
Welcome to the pleasure dome
Who-ha who-ha
Going home where lovers roam
Welcome to the pleasure dome

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Frankie Goes To Hollywood (FGTH) was one of the most controversial and commercially-successful uk pop acts of the mid 1980s. The liverpool group was fronted by vocalist Holly Johnson, supported by Paul Rutherford (backing vocals), Peter Gill (drums), Mark O'Toole (bass) and Brian Nash (aka Nasher, guitar).

The group's debut single "Relax" was famously banned by the BBC and subsequently topped the UK singles chart for five weeks, enjoying prolonged chart success throughout 1984. Following the phenomenal follow-up success of "Two Tribes" and the seasonal "The Power of Love", FGTH became only the second act in the history of the UK charts to reach number one with their first three singles.

Things began to unravel in 1985 when their fourth single; 'Welcome To The Pleasuredome' stalled at number two and their second and final album; 'Liverpool' took over a year to complete, reportedly at huge expense.

Lead-off single; 'Rage Hard' peaked at number four and it was clear that the public had moved on. 'Liverpool' sold poorly and conflict between lead singer Holly Johnson and the rest of the band led to an acrimonious split.

Johnson embarked on an initially successful solo career, but quickly spiralled into obscurity and the rest of the band broke up after several attempts to recruit a new lead singer.

Their three number one singles have been extensively remixed and repackaged over the years, and despite their limited back catalogue, the band are generally seen as being one of the defining moments of the eighties.

They also had a hit videogame based around them for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64.
