(Michael Rutherford and B. A. Robertson)
A penny has two faces
When one of them you have to choose

Between the two places
One must win and one must lose


You say you have a sense of freedom
Whenever you're away from here
Put your hand on your heart and tell me

That you never shed a tear

Aw, what you doing babe

On the other side of the world
With all those fancy girls
Never believe their hearts are stone

They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul
On the other side of the world


Life is only snakes and ladders
Sometimes up and sometimes down

It doesn't really matter baby
When you got love around


Aw, but you won't find that lovin', no
On the other side of the world
With all those crazy girls

Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul

On the other side of the world

I'll be waitin' for you

Never believe their hearts are stone
They may warm your bed when you're alone
But I can warm your heart and soul

On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world

On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
