    Lyrics:
    Sometimes you’re better off dead
    There’s a gun in your hand and it’s pointing at your head
    You think you’re mad, too unstable
    kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
    in a restaurant in a West End town
    Call the police! There’s a madman around
    Running down underground
    to a dive bar in a West End town
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    West End girls
    Too many shadows, whispering voices
    faces on posters, too many choices
    If? When? Why? What?
    How much have you got?
    Have you got it? Do you get it?
    If so, how often?
    Which do you choose
    a hard or soft option?
    (How much do you need?)
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    West End girls
    West End girls
    (How much do you need?)
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    A West End town, a dead end world
    East End boys, West End girls
    West End girls
    You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone?
    Just you wait ’til I get you home
    We’ve got no future, we’ve got no past
    Here today, built to last
    In every city, in every nation
    from Lake Geneva to the Finland station
    (How far have you been?)
    And a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    A West End town, a dead end world
    East End Boys, West End girls
    West End girls

      This is actually their 4th single.
      Their first single was an earlier version of West End Girls, produced by Bobby Orlando, and released in April 1984
      Then, they released One More Chance, also produced by Bobby Orlando in June 1984.
      Their third single, was Opportunies (Let's Make Lots of Money). This was released in July 1985.
      This version was produced by J. J. Jeczalik (part of Art of Noise) and Nicholas Froome.
      These were all produced and recorded before they even began working on their debut album, Please.
      The July 1985 release of Opportunies was also their first single to have a music video.
