STRETCHING, FILING,
AGAINST HER SKIN,
BLESSED ARE THOSE,
WHO ARE NOT KIN,
IN SIN WE BREATHE,
IN SEX WE TIE,
DUCT TAPE HER LEGS,
TO THE RED SKY,
FOOLSOME FLESH ALLOWANCES,
THE PANSIES RAIDED THE PANTRY OF,
GABARDINE DREAMS, PROMISCUOUS,
DELIGHT, DENY NOT THE FLAVOR,
CUSTARD DREAMS,
ABUSING, MUSING,
MARMALADE FLESH
NAKED SPREAD AM I,
ACTORS OF THE TRAGIC FANTHOM,
EXTEND YOUR LEGS FOR GREAT SATURN,
BROWN TABLE TOPS SCREAM FOR COVER,
AT THE SIGHT OF YOUR NEW LOVER,
IF TODAY I DIE,
AND CAN'T DENY,
THE POISON CHOSEN,
FOR TONIGHT.
BORROWED DREAMS,
HOLLOWED REVERIES,
METAL PILLOWS,
PEWTER YELLOWS,
FURRY ROADKILL,
HOUSE ON THE HILL,
POURING GRAVY,
ON HER THIGHS STILL,
IF TODAY I DIE,
AND CAN'T DENY,
THE POISON CHOSEN,
*Verse One*
[Peter Gunz]
Can I fuckin' play?
I got a quarter mill' in the bank
No one to thank but me
Break me "Gunz"
Bronx ball playa
Take the gatas and suits from niggas rich
See me I'm stackin mah chips flippin' mah chips
Bitch I...
Peter Gunz I...
Listen I gobble pour all I broke
No joke clear the smoke or get smoked
Nigga what?
You stand ya plan
You faka's join but what's the point you makin'?
Nothin' taken
I seen nigga's come and go
But I'ma say a
A mothafuckin' Bronx playa
I went from eatin' outta trash
To walkin' and pushin' the E-Class
From chickens, to fuckin' bitches that's lookin' like Stacy Cash
An'-now flash
Moms prayed to God that she'd be green
But it was hard for me to raise somebody, I never seen
Cherish
I testify when they ask me ta speak
I said that only Lord knows two rants to praise the Lord
(Nah)
*Chorus*
I think it's bout time we'd shine (shine)
Nigga's made chips off mine (mine)
Climb the same rhyme, recline
It's time to bring pain to these nigga's (haaahh)
Drain these nigga's, if they wanna (who wanna?)
I gotta crew from Soundview wantin' war (c'mon)
Start a revolution with mah niggas from the fall (from the faaall)
We gotta bring it all Uptown in the party (uhhh)
Cause Lord Tariq won't you come and get shit started?
*Chorus*
*Verse Two*
[Lord Tariq]
Check it yo, I'm in the big black Bronco
Sippin' Rimmey out the bottle
From the Bronx like Billy Blanco
Fortin' high-on on the throttle
My shit dates back like American Bandstands
So ya'll niggas sit and relax while these grands change hands
Stand tall, stick yo chest out boy
And be a man
You bust one, you let them all-out, and go all-out
Wit' dat bug you had to fall-out wit, head-chest
Don't let-'em fall-out, shit
And if I fall-out, quick
It's Money Boss
I'm at the midnight blue
Three times to excite you
Have you drippin' off mah chest, wantin' ta be crew
Wantin' to be flauntin' the shit that we do
But ya can't nigga, ya still young, it's still alot of shit to go through
I been through enough drugs to get you high, think "I'm Bout It"
Think I'm lyin'? 'Cause I'm rhymin? Nigga mah path would be routed
Shit is real, don't you battle, now get ya bricks fa' tin
Now that's the Steel House of "Bout It" (House of "Bout It")
Money Boss...
*Chorus*
I think it's 'bout time you'd shine (shine)
Nigga's made chips off mine (mine)
Climb the same rhyme, recline
It's time to bring pain to these nigga's
Drain these nigga's, if they wanna (yo who wanna?)

Start a revolution with mah niggas from the fall
Gotta bring it all Uptown and hit the party (party)
Peter Gunz won't you come and get this shit started?
*Chorus*
*Verse Three*
[Peter Gunz]
'Ey-yo
When you gettin' chips, you got mad tricks ridin' ya pony
But when ya slip, the same stank bitch is wanna journey
Ya baby motha', probably fuckin' brotha' if he trickin'
You resort to ass-kickin', she dick-lickin'
Now you in the mountains up north
Gimme the Nine, time ta think about the dumb shit ya did, play a mind
Sekikes, to all the chickens you treated, like they was queens
Ain't never rolled a nigga recenin' up in his greens
Conversatin his low, ho'
Ain't you gettin' chips?
You get a check on the first birth, help a nigga live
I used to get.. rent money, I sent and spent money
I never lent money, I burned and bent money
So why you actin' funny, wit' yours?
Put them drawers on yo ass, and I knew the stash, a baby of course
When ya baby bounce up into the slack
I took your son like he was my son, he never lack
And baby wise up
*Chorus*
Nigga it's 'bout time you'd shine (shine)
But nigga's made chips off mine (mine)
Climb the same rhyme, recline
It's time to bring pain to these nigga's
Drain these nigga's, if they wanna (yo who wanna?)

*Chorus*
*Verse Three*
[Lord Tariq]
'Ey-yo
I be the Bronx narrator, recitin' my ghetto stories
To mah playas, from the smallest to the tallest category
While you got shadow warriors, money ain't mah problem
You want aches and breaks, of that shit? Well I got 'em
Money Boss, get crossed off, so ring the alarm
Bronx roots, I recruit the thoughts, I'm making bombs
I'm the calm and the stong, Hiroshima the bomb
I have you in protection programs, somewhere on the farm
Wit' mah eyes on you niggas, like the feds and faka's
Got they eye's on the sippa's, big tippa's, and dice shaka's
Small head-build, means you the small-time nigga
With small thoughts, and small means, of gettin' small figures
By all means, expedite, "Live long -- prosper"
Ya live-wrong suits, got'cha
Remember that mink you bought? For 9 G's and somehow split the scene
It's in the government auction, for 900 -- what does it mean?
*Chorus*
I think it's 'bout time we'd shine (shine)
But nigga's made chips off mine (mine)
And climb the same rhyme, recline
It's time to bring pain to these nigga's
Gotta, drain these nigga's, if they wanna ('ey-yo who wanna?)
I gotta crew from Soundview wantin' war
Start a revolution with mah niggas from the fall

Stretching, filing against her skin
Blessed are those who are not kin
In sin we breathe, in sex we tie
Duct tape her legs to the red sky
Fool some flesh allowances
The pansies raided the pantry off
Gabardine dreams, promiscuous
Delight, deny not the flavor
Custard dreams
Abusing, musing
Marmalade flesh
Naked spread am I
Actors of the tragic fathom
Extend your legs for great Saturn
Brown table tops scream for cover
At the sight of your new lover
If today I die and can't deny
The poison chosen for tonight
Borrowed dreams, hollowed reveries
Metal pillows, pewter yellows
Furry roadkill, house on the hill
Pouring gravy on her thighs still
If today I die and can't deny

baby don't tell me that i'm doing wrong
i know where i'm headin' and i'm going strong
you think she's stupid and way too young
if anybody's stupid you're the one
you believe she's naive
she only got a different way to perceive
she really speaks freely
but she never talk when there ain't no need
oh mama, oh mama, oh mama yeah
oh mama, oh mama, who are you to talk?
our memories are getting vague and dim
when you meet me on the street you are short and grim
don't block the light with your stubborn face
i'm happy again and up ahead i gaze
a second chance and i got plans
to change my way of thinking in a positive way
if you don't like it it's time to quit
tell me what to do, and what to say
oh mama, oh mama, oh mama yeah
oh mama, oh mama, who are you to talk?
there's no regrets from my side
but you seem to fight with your personal pride
if you don't care if i'm dead or alive
how come you're handing out good advise?
you're in a dead end and all you send
is a desperate need for someone to blame
don't worry your head find your own way instead
i found my heaven, i wish you the same
oh mama, oh mama, oh mama yeah
oh mama, oh mama, who are you to talk?
(instrumental break)
(4x)
oh mama, oh mama, oh mama yeah
Mama, can I rest my head on your shoulder
Mama, tell me what I'll be when I'm older
Oh my son you're young enough to wonder
And my son you're old enough to dream
Mama, tell me is there really a heaven
Mama, tell me have you ever been there
Oh my son you're old enough to listen
And my son you're young enough to dream
Short as it seems, life's filled with dreams
Mama, can I rest my head on your shoulder
Mama, tell me what I'll be when I'm older
Lovely nights, quiet nights, golden nights with you
Love's a dream, evergreen, never seen you blue
Don't let your woman down
Pick her up and make her feel she is somebody
That's the way to be - wo-ho
Lovely nights, quiet nights, golden nights with you
Love's a dream, evergreen, never seen you blue
And when you fall in love
Pick her up and make her feel she is somebody
That's the way to be - wo-ho
Lovely nights, quiet nights with you
Lovely nights with you
Quiet nights with you
I am just a lonely man
Won't you come along again
Fill me up and make me feel alright
Be as good as I was bad
Lift me up and make me feel all right
Cos I miss you
When you moved so far away
Oh how I missed you
And I mean it when I say
I am just a lonely man
Won't you come along again
She wrote me a letter saying she changed
And all the love we shared is gonna be rearranged
I waited her so long and we went back
No change come untill she ever tried
How long can you be with the one you love
Oh, how long should it be
Till the stars shine above
How long ever been
Can't she remember all the things I've done
Is all the past to her like a haze in a midday sun
Well I guess you'll try to change your ways
But our hearts remain the same in all those days
How long would I be with the one I love
Oh, how long should it be
Till the stars shine above
How long ever been
(solo)
Can't you change
Can't you see you're wrong
� help my feelings
When you know this time you're gone
How long would I be with the one I love
Oh, how long should it be
Till the stars shine above
The changing of sunlight to moonlight
Reflections of my life
Oh, how they fill my eyes
The greetings of people in trouble
Reflections of my life
Oh, how they fill my eyes
All my sorrow
Sad tomorrow
Take me back to my old home
All my crying (all my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my old home
I'm changing, arranging
I'm changing, I'm changing everything
Ah, everything around me
The world is a bad place
A bad place, a terrible place to live
Oh, but I don't wanna die
All my sorrow
Sad tomorrow
Take me back to my old home
All my crying (all my crying)
Feel I'm dying, dying
Take me back to my old home
All my sorrow (all my sorrow)
Sad towmorrow
Take me back (take me back) to my old home
All my crying (all my crying)
Ride boy ride keep the sun in your eyes
Your troubles you reliefed far behind
Oh boy you're free from this land to,.
So lift up your head, leave your troubles,.
When night, comes, build a fire in the sun
And watch as the moon shows its face
Then one by one you will see the stars return
Like a thousand diamond jewel drops shinning in space
Hey, hey, hey it's the sunshine day
And you're driftin away with the wind
So get up, boy, wipe the sleep from your eyes
Ride in to the morning, ride out to the skies
Ride boy, ride
Oh the Geese fly and the Peewhit sing
As I ride on my Horse, on the first day of Spring
And the river flows o'er the grass so green,
As I fly to my Lady, of Catrine
And in my mind, the Church bell rings,
Could it be, just for me, on the first day of Spring?
Some wedding scene, upon a village green,
Wish it were me, and my Lady of Catrine
Well the wind is fresh and my eyes are bright,
As I see my Lady's castle come into sight,
And I'll bow to her, like a King to Queen,
Guess you're wondering what he's doing now
If he's thinking of you somehow
Seems very strange
And love is hard to re-arrange
Sunny days bring back the memories
Too alone beside the silent seas
Seems very strange
And love is hard to re-arrange
Do you miss him when you're on your own
Do you cry when he's not there
Do you wish inside that you had known
All the sadness would be hard to bear
If it's hard to re-assure yourself
Love will find a way to someone else
Seems rather strange
And love is hard to re-arrange
Seems very strange
Well I should be going home now, but she wanted me to stay,
I whisper to her softly and she don't know what to say.
Cause she worries so about me, and she calls me everyday,
My love she always listens to things I have to say.
Chorus.
Well I don't want no fancy woman. I don't need no fancy woman,
All I want is just one woman in my life.
You should see her in the morning, with her eyes as black as coal,
She's got a lot of soul, and never will grow old.
She's a reason, she's a river and she really is for me,
I know she's got to be for no one else.
Chorus.
Oh a friend is made for loving, a friend is made to stay,
And I've got a friend who'll never walk away.
Well I think about her always, and she thinks about me too,
And I know without her I couldn't see it through.
Beautiful day, I'd like to lie on the green lawn
The ducks are congregating round and round the lily pond
And the cows have all gone
Runnin' home to put their coats on
Stay indoors while it pours till tomorrow
I see the rain again, I must complain again
Why does the rain let me down?
Will you try to make it sunny in the morning?
Five to ten and now it's time for the weather
Sun will shine and in its time get better
But it won't last for long
Clouds are spreading over London town
Stay indoors while it pours till tomorrow
I see the rain again, I'll take the blame again
I see the rain lets you down
But I'm gonna' make it sunny in the morning?
Stay indoors while it pours till tomorrow
I see the rain again, I'll take the blame again
I see the rain lets you down
Until you came, it felt like my world
Was fallin' apart at the seams
All of my childhood dreams
Were empty and meaningless
Until we kissed it seemed like the rain
Was turnin' my hopes into sand
Oh, I was a yesterday man until I found you
It was as plain as the nose on my face
That I was heading nowhere
Then into my life came an angel of grace
Sunlight in her hair
Now, love is the strangest emotion
'Cause just when I want you to stay
Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
(Don't turn me away)
Until you came, it felt like my world
Was fallin' apart at the seams
All of my childhood dreams
Were empty and meaningless
Until we kissed it seemed like the rain
Was turnin' my hopes into sand
Oh, I was a yesterday man until I found you
I'm like a man in a mantle of black
Who just saw the light
Who cast off the shadow when you gave him back
The meaning to life
Now, love is the strangest emotion
'Cause just when I want you to stay
Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
(I want you to stay)
Until you came, it felt like my world
Was fallin' apart at the seams
All of my childhood dreams
Were empty and meaningless
Until we kissed it seemed like the rain
Was turnin' my hopes into sand
Through the long grass, past the tall trees
There's a cabin that's a nestlin in the pines
Where my sweethearts catchin small fish
With a cane and a bent pin on a line
And if you happen to pass by, please
Come and join us join our company
There's my daddy on the front porch
With a lazy hound lying by his feet
And my mommie's in the kitchen
With the table all ready set to eat
So if you happen to pass by, please
Come and join us join our company
and
Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there
Underneath the sun and the deep, deep blue sky... and
Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there
Even when it rains and it pours it's a paradise
Dooya doodn doo doo doo Dooya doodn doo doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Dooya doodn doo doo doo Dooya doodn doo doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Cousin Norman comes a courting
With the same girl every single day
Got a stammer, like a hammer
You can't understand a word that he s-says
So if you happen to pass by, please
Come and join us join our company
and
Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there
Underneath the sun and the deep, deep blue sky... and
Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there
Even when it rains and it pours it's a paradise
Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there
Underneath the sun and the deep, deep blue sky... and
Oh Oh Oh I just want to be there
Intro:
I wake up in the morning with my head up in the clouds, got nowhere to go
This feeling deep inside of me tells me tells me I ought to be back on the road.
Well it hurt me to no end to see the back of my best friend
Guess I'll go and pack my things
And I'll get back on the road again
Well I've been a lot of places and I've seen a lot of faces just moving around
Living out a suitcase, running in the rat race, doing the rounds
Well it took me by surprise to see the sadness in her eyes
Guess I'll go and pack my things
And get back on the road again
Don't you worry, I'll be back someday
Ain't no hurry, I've just got time to slip away
Guess it's hard to understand why a home loving man wants to get up and go
But this feeling deep inside of me tells me tells me I ought to be back on the road.
Well I hope she'll realise I'm just another guy
Guess I'll go and pack my things
And I'll get back on the road again
Yes I'll go and pack my things
And I'll get back on the road again
Go and pack my things
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
Feels like we've come back from the dead
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone
If we get up now, we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under-15's playing football in the park
Let's sleep in St. Leonard's on this alcoholic day
We're doing the best with what we've got
I love you in the morning
When you're still hungover
I love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
I love you in the morning
I work hard all week, and so do you
We deserve to let off some steam
Less orthodox creeping
We need to rage through this life
There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers, that wear better shoes
Forget about those melting icecaps
We're doing the best with what we've got
I love you in the morning
When you're still hungover
I love you in the morning
When you're still strung out
When I'm with you, I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness
You see, giant proclamations
Are all very well
But our love is louder than words
When I'm with you, I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest, a silent smile
A private kind of happiness
(I love you in the morning)
When I'm with you, I am calm
(I love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster
(I love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile
(I love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness
(I love you in the morning)
When I'm with you, I am calm
(I love you in the morning)
A pearl in your oyster
(I love you in the morning)
Head on my chest, a silent smile
(I love you in the morning)
A private kind of happiness
I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning
I love you in the morning
Rolling, rolling on down I'm a-rolling
Shaking, shaking me up I'm a-shaking
Breaking, breaking me up I'm a-breaking
Breaking, yes it's me and I'm a breaking
Shaking, yes it's me and I'm shaking
Rolling, rolling my thing I'm a-rolling yeah
(solo)
Rolling, rolling on down I'm a-rolling
Shaking, shaking me up I'm a-shaking
Breaking, breaking me up I'm a-breaking
Oh, roll, roll, I'm rolling
Shake, shake, shake me up
Roll, roll, rolling down (repeat several times)

Met her in the dance hall, looking so sweet
From the stars in her make-up to the ball on her feet
We danced until midnight and then we went home
Just me and my Sarah left all alone
Sarah, my Sarah, my Sarah, my love
It's you I depend on
like the light from above
Sarah, my Sarah, my Sarah, my love
It's you I depend on
it's you that I love
The morning came quickly and my Sarah had left
Leaving me lonesome with the tears on my chest
How long can one night last but with two locked in love
Till the sun
the gray clouds on the heavens above
Sarah, my Sarah, my Sarah, my love
It's you I depend on like the light from above
And often I wonder where she did go
Did she fall for another perhaps I don't know
But one thing's for certain and this is no lie
One night with Sarah has left a lifetime to cry
Sarah, my Sarah, my Sarah, my love
It's you I depend on like the light from above
Sarah, my Sarah, my Sarah, my love
The Marmalade - Mr. Tambourine Man
Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there aint no place I'm going to.
Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.
Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
All my senses have been stripped, and my hands can't feel to grip,
And my toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Onto my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.
Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there aint no place I'm going to.
Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
She knows, she grows, she likes the hours
With a little bit of loving from her mother
My little one, she never bothers
About the things that worry you and me She sings this little song that floats along
It's quite a song
And know she's gonna be as free as yesterday
And I know in my mind it's gonna be that way Do I, do IDo I, dub da day
This is the way she blows the cares away Do I, do IDo I, dub da day
This is the way she blows the cares away My little one you must be tired
With all the fun and games you had today
I lye awake and dream about you
And what you'll be when you're as old as me She sings this little song that floats along
It's quite a song
And know she's gonna be as free as yesterday
And I know in my mind it's gonna be that way Do I, do IDo I, dub da day
This is the way she blows the cares away Do I, do IDo I, dub da day

The Marmalade - I shall be released
They say ev'ry man needs protection
They say ev'ry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above the wall
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released.
yondah stands a man in this lonely crowd
a man who swears he's not to blame
every night I hear him crying out so loud
crying cause he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released.
They say ev'rything can be replaced
Yet ev'ry distance is not near
So I remember ev'ry damn face
Of ev'ry bastard who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
Spoken: this will sixteen, six. sixteen
Watch out, this time ok?
Oh yeah, Why is it always me?
Hey, one, two, one, two, three
Super clean Jean is the name
Of the woman in the window pane
Everyday pass the door
And you know she always do much more
And ...everyday before
Keep loving me more and more
But I'd better try to keep ahead
Though I love her much more than bread
I want her and I'll get her
Be my girl yes, I will
Ah, she gets attraction (yes, she does)
Doing the boogaloo (yes, she does)
When she gets the action (yes, she does)
Oh, all I know she boogaloos for you
Saw her yesterday
She was looking for a place to stay
So I tried to help her all I could
But she didn't see me do no good
Super clean Jean is a queen
She's a queen ...I've ever seen
But I'd better try to keep ahead
cause I love her much more than bread
I want her and I'll get her
Be my girl yes, I will
(solo)
(I want her and I'll get her)
(Be my girl yes, I will)

The Marmalade - Summer in the city
Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down isn't it a pity
Doesn't seen to be a shadow in the city
All around me people looking half dead
Choking on the sidewalk, it's hotter than a match head
At night it's a different town, go out and find a girl
Come on come on and dance all night
Just what you need, it will be alright
And babe don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
Cool town meeting in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
'till I'm wheezing at the bus stop
Running up the stairs gonna meet you on the roof top
At night it's a different town, go out and find a girl
Come on come on and dance all night
Just what you need it will be alright
And babe don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
She looked sixteen, she could have been more
I went to her thinking only of romance
But when the band played, man, I didn't stand the chance
All she wanna do was
Dance, dance, dance, you ought to see her dance
Dance, dance, dance, move over, give her a chance
Well, the people all stood around
Watching her lay it down
She could dance, dance, dance the night away
I tried to show some genuine affection
Could be a chance of a close connection
I didn't know she was there for just one thing
'Cos when the band played, man, you ought to see her swing
Swing down easy
Dance, dance, dance, you ought to see her dance
Dance, dance, dance, move over, give her a chance
Well, the people all stood around
Watching her lay it down
She could dance, dance, dance the night away
And when the dance was nearly over
I decided I was really gonna show her
I took a drink and I went to join the fun
That's when the fun had just begun
And when the band played, man, I was second to none
Dance, dance, dance, you ought to see me dance
Dance, dance, dance, move over, give me a chance
Well, the people all stood around
Watching me lay it down
'Cos I could dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Dance, dance, Watusi baby
Dance, dance, funky mofa
Dance, dance, read your Sunday papers
Dance, dance, Desperate Dan's
Dance, dance, shake it, baby
Dance, dance, rock n roll

The Marmalade - lovin' things
It's the lovin' things you do
That make me grow so close to you
Gonna want you my whole life through
For the lovin' things, baby, that you do
It's the lovin' things you say
That give me comfort every day
By your side I'm gonna stay
To hear the lovin' things, baby that you say
Since that day our love began
I've become a new and happy man
I can hold my head up high
When you are near I touch the sky
With your soft and sweet caress
You brought me such tenderness
To think I was once forsaken
With your kiss I've been awaken.
Chorus
(Instrumental)
Then you walked into my life
Said how you'd soon end all my strife
With a smile from your young face
You gave me back my inspiration
It's the lovin' things we share
That assures me how you care
Our friends call us the perfect pair
For the lovin' things, baby, that we share
(Instrumental)
All you women who want a man of the street
But you don't know which way you wanna turn
Just keep a coming and put your hand out to me
'Cause I'm the one who's gonna make you burn
I'm gonna take you down - down, down, down
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will
Yeah
I'm like evil, I get under your skin
Just like a bomb that's ready to blow
'Cause I'm illegal, I got everything
That all you women might need to know
I'm gonna take you down - yeah, down, down, down
So don't you fool around
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women with too many pills
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will
'Cause I shoot to thrill, and I'm ready to kill
I can't get enough, I can't get MY THRILL
I shoot to thrill, play to kill
Yeah, pull the trigger
Pull it, pull it, pull it, pull the trigger
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women, with too many pills
I said, shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready, gonna fire at will
'Cause I shoot to thrill, and I'm ready to kill
And I can't get enough, and I can't get my THRILL
'Cause I shoot to thrill, play it again
Yeah
Shoot you down
Yeah
I'm gonna get you to the bottom and shoot you
I'm gonna shoot you
Oh hoo yeah yeah yeah
I'm gonna shoot you down yeah yeah
I'm gonna get you down
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Shoot you, shoot you, shoot you, shoot you down
Shoot you, shoot you, shoot you down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooooh

Play to kill
Shoot to thrill
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only one, well
yeah,
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman
possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've
had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be
tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and
take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, (break
a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling,
yeah. (have a..)
Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
yeah.
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh yes indeed.
You're out on the streets looking good, and baby,
Deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't
right,
Never never never never never never never hear me when
I cry at night.
Baby, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand
the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once
again.
I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break
a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling,

Bonnie girl I know
He's a fantasist
believe me
He's possessed with all the things around
Bonnie girl, I know
believes he is a lover
He's involved with everyone in town.
Never stops to think it over
Now that money grows on trees
Think aloud
cherry is a funny flavor
Bonnie girl I know
Never thinks about the future
Like a rash...
he comes and he goes
Bonnie girl I know
lover is ever easy
he goes on
believing till the end
(harmonica solo)

Think aloud

The Marmalade - Wait for me Mary-Anne
Intro
There's a small town lying by the river
Have way to nowhere
Where the trains just stop to take on water
But my girl, she lives there.
She don't have jewels, she ain't got money
But she makes my whole world sunny
Where's no make up on her face
But where she is, well, that's my place
And I'm going home to my girl.
Chorus
Wait for me Mary-Anne
Please, stay free Mary-Anne
I'm coming home, girl, just as soon as I can
(My my my Mary-Anne)
Wait for me Mary-Anne
You will see Mary-Anne
That I was born to be your true lovin' man
(My my my Mary-Anne)
Instrumental
In the city life gets often lonely
For a bore making gird
And it's hard to keep your sense of values
And to do things you should
Girls come easy, try to make you
Just as soon they'll try to break you
When the city dulls my eyes
Then I'll remember summer skies
And dream of the grace I belong
If you're coming home, like your letters say
And the place you're staying now, ain't too far away
Can you write tonight, just to let me know
Cos since you've been away girl, I've missed you so
You won't let me down, cos I'm sure you're homeward bound
And you'll be back safe and sound, cos I just know
Baby make it soon, make it soon (I can't wait another day)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I know I need you, come on)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (I need you right away)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I've gotta see you)
Right back here, here in my arms
If you're coming home like you promised to
Will you write tonight and tell me what you're gonna do
For I'm lonley now and I'm gonna stay that way
Till I hold you so tightly in my arms again
You won't let me down, cos I'm sure you're homeward bound
And you'll be back safe and sound, cos I just know
Baby make it soon, make it soon (I can't wait another day)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I know I need you, come on)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (I need you right away)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I've gotta see you)
Right back here, here in my arms
You won't let me down, cos I'm sure you're homeward bound
And you'll be back safe and sound, cos I just know - Whoa -oh
Baby make it soon, make it soon (I can't wait another day)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I know I need you, come on)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (I need you right away)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I've gotta see you)
Come back baby
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I've gotta see you)
Come on baby
Baby make it soon, make it soon (I've gotta see you)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I know I need you)
Come on baby
Rainbow
Look me up, look me down
Rainbow
You were fun to have around
I was dreamin'
Of the love I had to share
Never thinkin'
You were here, you were there
Not a word, not a sound
Couldn't see or even feel the ground
A pot of gold, I was sold
By the way you let it fly
Rainbow
Look me up, look me down
Rainbow
You were fun to have around
I was dreamin'
Of the love I had to share
Never thinkin'
You were here, you were there
Rainbow
Look me up, look me down
Rainbow
You were fun to have around
Now I'm changing
For the better, for the day
Feel like singing
All the colors you convey
Come on home, keep me warm
And love me till the new days born
And I pray, you will stay
