THRILLER
PORTUGAL 12'' SINGLE
- VARIANT #1 
   (VERSAO LONGA VERSAO CURTA) 
   EPIC A12.3643
- VARIANT #2 EPIC A12.3643

"...Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'awl's neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller...."

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

"...All along I had to talk about it
But like a two edged sword,
He touched you and it stabs

All along I knew you were
A phony girl
You sit behind the mask
And you control your world

You sit around and I watch your face
I try to find the truth but that's your hiding place
You say you love me but its hard to see
Cause when he's in your arms,
Your throwing rocks at me
Who do you love?
Is it me?
Well, I don't know
Who do you love?
That I want
If you had
If you knew me

There is nothing in your eyes
(But that's the way you cry)
But that's the way you cry, girl (cry, girl)
(All is grand, all is bright)
All is grand, all is bright
(You're just steady in my mind)..."

From a far corner, out of the dark

HEARTBREAK HOTEL
JAPAN 7'' SINGLE
EPIC 07-5P-125

"...Hope is dead
She thought that I had cheated for another lover
I turn my back to see that I am undercover
Now I can`t convince this girl there ain`t no other
Someone`s evil to hurt my soul
Every smile`s trial thought in beguile
To hurt me
Then the man next door had told
He`s been here in tears for fifteen years
This is scaring me
We came to this place, where the vicious dwell
And found that wicked women run this strange hotel
There was Sefra and Sue,
Every girl that I knew
And my baby said love is through
Heartbreak hotel
Heartbreak hotel...."

"There's a creak beneath the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where restless soul's spoke
I'm gonna be
Exactly what you gonna see
So did you come to me
To see your fantasies
Performed before your very eyes
A haunting ghostly treat
The foolish trickery
And spirits dancing
In the light
But if you came to see
The truth the purity
It's here inside
A lonely heart
So let the performance start..."

"...There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood up on the stairs

And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know that that's the truth
Because now it's onto me

I don't understand it
Hey
I don't understand it!
Aaow

There's a tappin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But there's no-one sitting there

There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going..."

GHOSTS 
JAPAN LIMITED EDITION BOXSET
EPIC/SONY ESVU 155-157

We all know this "Ghosts" boxset. It was released in november 1997, and it contains a "Blood on the dancefloor", a "Ghosts" short movie VHS, a little replica of the "Ghosts" program given to Cannes festival fro the premiere of the short movie and...a great gift:a "minimax" cd -single including an unreleased song, "On the line", backed with 2 unreleased remixes of "Is it scary" and "Ghosts".
The japanese release, much more rarer than the european one, it has a sticker with japanese infos on the front plastic envelope of the box; the content is very similar to the european release, even though the "minimax" cd single has a golden shade instead of the yellow/orange used for the Europe version. Also, the "Blood" cd is, of course, made in Japan, and the vhs is NTSC system, not PAL. 

"...I GUESS I HAVE NO CHOICE....GUESS I HAVE TO SCARE YOU" AGAIN....

SOMEBODY'S WATCHING ME
MEXICO 12'' RED VINYL SINGLE
MOTOWN TM-27

"...Who's watching?
Tell me who's watching.
Who's watching me?

I'm just an average man, with an average life.
I work from nine to five; hey hell, I pay the price.
All I want is to be left alone in my average home;
But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, and

I always feel like somebody's watching me.
And I have no privacy.
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me.
Tell me is it just a dream?

When I come home at night.
I bolt the door real tight.
People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid.
Well, can the people on T.V. see me.
Or am I just paranoid?...."

"...They're out to get you 
there's demons closing in on
Every side
They will possess you 
unless you change the number on
Your dial
Now is the time for you 
and I to cuddle close together
All through the night 
I'll save you from the terrors on
The screen
I'll make you see

That it's a thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost
Would ever dare try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller
Chiller
Thriller here tonight..."
