Take all of the money
Take all of the sweet plum of the pie
Don't say that you love me
Don't say it's for me it's a lie
Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride, ride the ride
Blowing a smokescreen
Never looking at me in the eye
You make it look easy
For someone afraid of falling to fly
Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride, ride the ride, ride the ride
Take all of the money
Take all you believe is the prize
Just leave me a moment
Just leave a bright piece of the sky
Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride, ride the ride, ride the ride
Ride the ride, ride the ride, ride the ride
(D. Peterson/S. Hoffs/D. Kahne)Debbi
Busted down and broken
All in two
But you never thought
This could happen to you
Wake up, stumble
Trip and fall
You had so much
And now you've lost it all How could you do it
It's not like you
To be the one to lose
Why did you do it
It's not like you
But I'll be around for you
Such a sad and sorry
Twist of fate
You tried to change
But it's too late
If you ever find out
What to do
Well, then it'll all
Come back to you
If I had the time
I would run away with you
To a perfect world
We'd suspend all that is duty or required
Late last night you cried
And I couldn't come to you
But on the other side
You and I, inseparable, went walking
If we could steal away
Like jugglers and thieves
But we could come and go
Oh, and talk of Michaelangelo, ohIf we had the time (we had the time)
We had the time
The day you looked at me
And it was on your mind
The world is no one's dream
We will never ever find the time, oh
If we had the time
I would run away with you
To a perfect world
To a perfect world
If I told you I don't mind
Would you believe me?
If I say to you, you're not my kind
Do I deceive you with this fragile disguise?
Ask me no questions
I will tell you no lies
If you could read my heart I would not deny
So I pretend
All these tears on my face don't imply
That I'm not happy just to see you with her
One small voice that will never be heard
I'm in love with you
Oh, I'm in love with you
But I turn away when you look in my eyes
Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies
I'm in love with you
I don't think about us much anymore
Frankly, the topic has become a bore
And you don't come up much in my conversation
I don't think about you on vacation
But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
I remember you
I remember you
I don't think about you when I'm sleeping
It doesn't even cross my dreamlike mind
I don't think I see your face through the curtains
Hell, I don't even miss you half the time
But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
I remember you
I remember you
I'm doing fine as long as you stay locked up
Inside a cloud of grey
Rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
I remember you
I remember you
Well that's when I remember
The only time I remember
When I remember you
(V. Peterson/S. Hoffs)Vicki
Watching the sky
And the moon we both lie under
Miles and miles between us
It makes me wonder
Are you watching the sky too
You fly in circles around the dark side of your soul
While I'm flying in this airplane with no sense of control
Black sky wraps around us
Like skin it keeps us whole
And are you watching the sky too
Big hotel island in a small town
they send me flowers for my room
But tonight I'll drink their wind
Tonight I'm gonna have a good time
Hanging on the telephone as if it were my friend
Craving some of that sweetness on the other end
I'll lay under the stars tonight
Instead of sleep, pretend
That you are watching the sky too
(S. Hoffs/B. Steinberg/T. Kelly)Susanna
I get so restless here alone
That's why I call you on the phone
I get nervous, over-anxious, lose control
Waiting for you, baby
Lately I dream that I'm in your arms
When you're here I feel I'm safe from harm
I'd do anything that you want, babe
Anything at all
And I'm waiting for you to see
You mean the world to me Stars and the moon wait for you in my lonely room
The warmth of the sun is in your smile
I get so restless here alone
That's why I call you on the phone
I'd do anything that you want, babe
Anything at all
And I'm waiting for you to see
You mean the world to me
Waiting for you
Waiting
(V. Peterson)
Vicki
I want you
I don't want to sleep, go on and speak
Wearing out the carpet with my feet
And I want you
I want you
You don't know how bad you've got me hooked
I hate myself 'cause you don't like my looks
I want you
I want you
Oh ah, oh ah
I want you
Everything's still playing in my head
I'm twisting and I'm crying in my bed
I want you
Yeah, I want you
It's not fair
I should be there too
With you
Here I am still trying to erase
Everything, your voice, your smile, your face
I want you
Yeah, I want you
Oh ah, oh ah
I want you
'Cause I want you
Yeah, I want you
Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what an imitation is?
(Only you do)
You can paint his nails
Make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline
(Only you do)
Tear Off Your Own Head
Tear Off Your Own Head
It's a doll revolution
You can bat your lashes
You can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers
(It looks so real)
But one won't do it so collect the set
Dress him up in pink ribbons
Put him in a kitchenette
(How does this feel?)
Tear Off Your Own Head
Tear Off Your Own Head
It's a doll revolution
It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking over
and they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
It's a doll revolution
(D. Peterson/W. Igleheart)Debbi
I've seen the shadows fall
Colors that fade on my wall
Dressed up nowhere to go
It's all in my mind I know
But it's alright now
We're on our way
Lay me down in the moonlight
So close to you
maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true Lips move but not a sound
When the words fall to the ground
eyes watch but seldom see
the possibilities
But it's alright now
We're on our way
Lay me down in the moonlight
So close to you
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true
When we're together
There's nothing we can't do
Maybe we're just dreamers
Some dreams come true
Moving in circles that we create
Seeing whatever we choose
Hear only voices that call your name
(V. Peterson)
Vicki
Told her you'd forget
It hasn't happened yet
Oh, you want to know
She said nothing
Nothing, nothing
She said nothing
You'd wanna hear right now
What goes through your head
Better left unsaid, yeahOh, you want to know.
She says nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You'd got to hear right now
Nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now
Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now
Yeah, nothing
Nothing, nothing
She says nothing
You got to hear right now, yeah now
A summer's day so long ago
A thousand boats dancing on the bay
I came to you inside a dream
We both held hands and fell into the water
You never claimed to know me well
The dark-eyed son, the privileged man
You fond me bitter, you thought me cold
Well now I'm gonna make you understand
My mother died, my father cried
He left me lonely by the waterside
Waterside so deep and wide
If I follow, maybe I will find her
Beyond the salt and spray
The current carried her away
Beyond the salt and spray
The current carried her away
I can't outrun my destiny
Tell me who will sing a song for me
Darkness darkness cover me
By my own hands the way it has to be
My mother died my father cried
You will find me by the waterside
Waterside so deep and wide
If I follow, maybe I will find her
If I follow, maybe I will find her
Everything in the moment starting rear
Something you said is hanging in the air
Now i know my life is sweeten it
Changing everything
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running threw my head
Something i have dreamed about
And i feel so real, and it feels so right
[Something you said]
Showing you every weakness and feeling strong for it
I used to run from real life
Now i long for it
Now i know what i've been missing
So i've been listening
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Lying in my bed
Whispering your name out loud
And i feel so real, and it feels so right
Something that you said
That threw and me tonight
Never so far you can call me back
I'm never more than a single kiss
So heey heey heey
And i feel so real, and it feels so right
[Something you said]
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running threw my head
Something i have dreamed about
And i feel, and i feel and it feels so right
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Lying in my bed
Whispering your name out loud
And i feel, and i feel and it feels so right
(M. Steele/D. White)Michael
Denny was working it real hard
Down Sunset boulevard
Back in 1973
Why would he bother going home
His parents left him on his own
Who knows
Maybe they were out getting stoned
I don't really know
How we survived the glitter years
What did we do it all for
Do you remember the glitter years We were the lost and lonely ones
We hid in the discotheques all night long
Till we could see the morning sun
Denny was king, he'd rock the place
Dressed like a working girl form
Outer space
He was dancing like he wanted to dance
His life away
In December of '74 Denny wrecked
His father's car
Driving home that night he was singing
You better Hang on to Yourself
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
I know what you're thinking
She can't be complete
'Til the right kind of man
Come sweep her off her feet
Well I've been there before
Times four or times five
With the right kind of man
Barely made it out alive
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
Alone but not lonely
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
I know what you're thinking
She can't be complete
'Til the right kind of man
Come sweep her off her feet
Well I've been there before
Times four or times five
With the right kind of man
Got love in my day
And I don't waste one moment
Wishing it awya
Single by choice, single by choice
Single by choice, single by choice
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
Single by choice, single by choice
Single by choice, single by choice
(V. Peterson)
Vicki and Debbi
He's got a slow, slow ride
Got a camera inside
He takes a picture
Hangs it up to dry
And there's one girl named
And another disclaimed
All the time
You can't help feeling ashamed
Given new reasons to survive
He keeps a number of them alive
There's a warning in the sky
A stranger passing by
And there's more than meets the eye to the guyWhen you're so secure
Never feeling unsure
That's the time
To check behind your door
'Cause there's one thing said
When another is meant
He's around
Confusing you 'til the end.
Seeing how changable you feel
Don't think this happiness is real
And it's hard to justify
The tangles you untie
There's more than meets the eye to the guy
(S. Hoffs/V. Peterson)
Susanna & Vicki
Time's up girl now
No more excusing you
And those books you read
Oh girl, you better review
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Now what are you waiting for (what are you waiting for)
You thought that cool
Was in someone else's shoes and makeup
Sitting in your room
Waiting for the moment to come
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Now what are you waiting for (what are you waiting for)
You got no tears for
All the guys who passed you by
All the girls who shut you out
They won't recognize you now
You're a good girl now
No more excusing you
And those books you read
Oh girl, you better review
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Now what are you waiting for (what are you waiting for)
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Looking out your door
Oh oh oh, Mary Street
Oh yeah, oh yeah
(V. Peterson/S. Hoffs)
Vicki
I see you in a different light
I see you in a different light
I wanna make a movie
I wanna put you on the silver screen
Sit in a darkened room and look at you from a distance
Wanna write a novel
Freeze all your expressions into words
Come back later and read about what I should have heard
I see you in a different light
I see you in a different light
I want to paint your portrait
Hang your colors on my wall
Discussing form and content with my friends and drinks
And no one thinks at all
I see you in a different light
I see you in a different light
(D. Peterson/V. Peterson/S. Hoffs)
Debbi
I don't want to wait in line for you
Darling, you'll know that's what I'll do
The girls are pretty
The girls are many
Ah, but your heart is empty
No one's filling up for you
I'm in line for you, my darling
Yeah, yeah
In the morning when I rise I see
Another girl in line ahead of me
Oh, what advantage with the way you do me
When you walk by abd when you get round to me
Yeah, take a look at me
I'm in line for you, my darling
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, I'm in line
I don't want to waste my time
Waiting for some guy to change his mind
You don't ever notice
Standing in the shadows
And I can't tell you why
I'm in line for you, my darling
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line
I'm in line, I'm in line
When the daylight disappears
When you're haunted, I'll be near
When the shadows come to call
When you're too scared to stand tall
I can stand tall
Dream and let your dreams go
It's your turn to fly
Long as I'm standing by
You can close your eyes
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you
Don't you worry, while you sleep
All my love is yours to keep
All you wish for, all you know
Will be yours when you let go
You can let go
Smile, if you can now
Smile through your tears
Here where your fears are known
Know you're safe at home
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you...
(S. Duboff/A. Kornfeld)
Vicki
Your father is a V.I.P.
He thinks he's always right
Your mother watches her T.V.
Won't talk to you all night
Couldn't help sitting up so high
He's gotta find love
He's never seen a flower tree
Or anything that close
And everyday I'll pass and say
Hey!
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you I just don't care
I'm falling on the ground
First time that you saw me
Said you'd hope I would change
Well, your friends took one look at me
And they sure acted strange
Haven't seen you in a month
And you wonder what it's all about
Well, next time I'm in prison, love
Come and, well bail me out
And everyday I'll pass and say
Hey!
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you I just don't care
I'm falling on the ground
You tried to put the blame on me
You've got a lot of nerve
You say you're so lonely, well
It's all that you deserve
When you get tired of your
Love of life in high society
Well, get some kicks and take a trip
And come on down with me
And everyday I'll pass and say
Hey!
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you I just don't care
I'm falling on the ground
How is the air up there...
(V. Peterson)Susanna
Oh, There he goes
Everybody's watching
Everybody knows
Something's going on
It certainly shows
When he's got a secret for you
It's there when he walks
It's there when he smiles
He kisses your cheek
And disappears for a while
Nothing in the world's
Gonna cramp his style
If only he could keep it from you
Oh, I don't believe that
You haven't seen by now (seen by now)
Don't look at me
'Cause I'll never tellDon't you ever wonder
Why the phone always rings (phone always rings)
Seven-thirty-one
Every evening (every evening)
Doesn't it upset you
When you call his name
And he doesn't pay attention to you.
Oh, I don't believe that
You haven't seen by now (seen by now)
Don't look at me
'Cause I'll never tell
Don't know the places he goes
Don't know the people he knows
Don't you understand
It's out of your hands
Oh I, don't believe that
You haven't seen by now (seen by now)
Don't look at me
'Cause I'll never tell
(K. Rew)Debbie
Hey now
Where you going with that load of nothing in your hand
I said, hey now
All through this green and pleasant land.
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
Hey there
Where you going with that UB40 in your hand
I said, hey there.
All through this green and pleasant landI'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life.
Hey now
Where you going with that UB40 in your hand
I said hey now
All through this green and pleasant land
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
I'm going down to Liverpool to do nothing
All the days of my life
All the days of my life
I carry you up in my arms
Hear you sing yourself to sleep
The sky opens up over your room
You sail into your moonlight dreams
There's so much more than we can see
There's so much more than we can see
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
I play this guitar, sing these songs
It changes me, instantly
Love is too simple a word
For here comes the sun in the morning
Suddenly happiness
Comes rolling out from inside me
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
I carry you up in my arms
Hear you sing yourself to sleep
The sky opens up over your room
You sail into your moonlight dreams
There's so much more than we can see
There's so much more than we can see
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
(All we are and all we need is)
(All we are and all we need is...)

Susanna
A friend told me yesterday
You've been looking for me
If I've been staying out of your way
I've done it intentionally
Saw you walking with her (walking with her)
Always kept that few steps behind, yeah
Wonder if she knows for sure (she knows for sure)
Her man's going on walking the line
Then I say to myself: beware!
It's getting out of hand (out of hand)
It's getting out of hand (don't look now)
It means loving you is like being true
You've got another woman, yeah.
Look me right in the eye
Tell me I'm the one that you love
Right back into your lies
Forgetting how determined I was
Then I say to myself: beware!
It's getting out of hand (out of hand)
It's getting out of hand (don't look now)
It means loving you is like being true
You've got another woman, yeah
A friend told me yesterday, hey
(M. Steele/D. White)Michael
Valerie is beautiful
But she seems a little bit confused
The life you offer her she says
She cannot use
You live in another world
She thinks she won't fit in
And oh, what about her plans for him
She bends to his will
Hey, you better listen
'Cause I'm warning you
Love is never simple
With a complicated girl You call her on the phone
She's got the other guy on hold
You see the scene unfold
You know it very well
Stay inside your room all day
When she doesn't call you pull the shades
Never seen you act this way
The girl has hit you hard
Why bother making rules you know
She will not follow
Someday she'll find a way to remedy
This lovely mess she's made of you
(S. Hoffs/V. Peterson/D. Roback)
Susanna
Well, if you're feeling down
You know I'll be round
And you know that you can call on me
You'll wish you were dead
Take a breath instead
Yeah, take a piece of everything you see
And you know that the world was made for you
Life's in shape, so what're you gonna do
Your eyes are painted blue
Look again, you see it's true, yeah
Your head's spinning round
Your folks bring you down
But you know that you can call on me
And you know that the world was made for you
Life's in shape, so what're you gonna do
Your eyes are painted blue
Look again, you see it's true, yeah
Well, if you're feeling down
You know I'll be round
As you know that you can call on me
Call on me
Call on me (call on me)
Call on me (call on me)
Oh my love you say this is the end
I'll tell you it's the hardest thing
I've ever had to do my friend
But I'll go
I'll do what you say
But when I walk
I will walk away from you
And the dark place you come from
The hurt you share between the two
Run now, hide what you know to be the truth
But you know
I will walk away
I'll pretend
I don't feel something breaking
Look at yourself
it does no good to cry
It's not forever
But hey, you think that I'm so strong
You think I've got it all
Maybe you're wrong
So go
I'll do what you say
But when I walk I will walk away
Hey hey
I'll do what you say
I'll pretend
I don't feel something breaking...
(V. Peterson)Vicki
You were so amused when I made myself available
You had to ask if it was all intentional
Well something's going on, on and on
Something's going on, going on and on
I'm finding out all about you
The sun is hiding and the car is running badly
I know only one way a friend should kiss a friend goodbye
But something's going on, on and on
Something's going on, going on and on
I'm finding out all about you
You're taking it all to hard, I've nothing left to fight you with
All your pretty things are merely to create the myth
That something's going on, on and on
Something's going on, going on and on
I'm finding out all about you
Yeah something's going on, on and on
Something's going on, going on and on and
I'm finding out all about you, yeah
I'm finding out all about you
(V. Peterson/S. Hoffs)Vicki
Writing the lines as they come to me
Scratching them out almost immediately
Don't know what it's done to me
It's cold and it's wet it's been raining all night
And there's a letter I've been trying to write
Something better waiting somewhere for me
One of them is sitting on the wrong coast
One awaits an answer by return post
Waiting, waiting Try to remember how long it's been
There was more to us than paper and pen
Think how easy it is to conceal
And I know when we're together again
We'll be strangers for an hour and then
We'll have to figure out if this thing is real
One of them is sitting on the East coast
One awaits an answer by return post
Waiting, waiting
Take a drink and staring out the window
Wondering how long this can continue
Waiting, waiting
(S. Hoffs/D. Peterson/V. Peterson/M. Steele)Bangles
One thing or another
Your head is filled with questions, sights and sounds
Distractions always get you down
Turn around
Trying to remember
Where you were the day before
North and south and east and west
Where to go When it's over
When it's done
Let it go
Frightened by the numbers
All the possibilities
Changing minds you hope to find
One more dream
To remind you
What is lost can always be regained
Oooh
(S. Hoffs/V. Peterson)
Susanna and Vicki
Threw away the things you loved
Now you want me to forgive you
Surprise surprise, I'm moving on
Yeah, I'm moving on
What a shock it is to see
That I can walk away so easily
Isn't it funny how hard it's turned out
This time I'm moving on
Tell me, tell me
While I still have the time
Are you gonna find a love
Thats truer than mineOne, two, three abandon me
Ain't no turning back again
Well too bad baby, this time you lose
'Cause I'm moving on.
Tell me, tell me
While I still have the time
Are you gonna find a love
That's truer than mine
One, two, three abandon me
Ain't no turning back again
Well too bad baby, this time you lose
'Cause I'm moving on
I'm moving on
(V. Peterson/S. Hoffs)Vicki
Saw your head turned a bit too far to the right now
Saw the eye go a little spark when she walks by now
But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
I'll leave it up to you
But I won't be tested
(You feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless)
Now I'm wondering every time that you hold me
Well, should I question anything you have told meBut if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
I'll leave it up to you
But I won't be tested
(You feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless) yeah
I remember when you and I were a nation
I could trust you in any dark situation
But if you wanna love
You wanna love another girl
I'll leave it up to you
But I won't be tested
(You feel restless now)
While you feel restless (restless)
Hey Sugar I had that dream again
I saw you in your red crushed velvet suit
Rolling on my feather bed
A Cheshire cat in yellow Beatle boots
(but) who's that stranger lying in your arms
Her fingers running down your tattooed chest
Valentino's cranking up the charm
And it's coming like a freight train
These pictures in my head
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey Mister
Tell me mister, what's your game?
Falling, yes she will fall
Your latest victim bites her lip and sighs
She's do these nasty things for you
Insinuating kisses on the sly
Oh I remember how you get your kicks
Preying on the innocent at night
Strange desperation-you gotta cop that fix
Making every little girl is keeping you alive
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey Mister
Tell me mister, what's your game
Oh Nickel Romeo you got no shame
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey Mister
Tell me mister, what's your game?
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey Mister
You're the master of this game
Because you got no shame
I think I'm going insane
And you're to blame...
(S. Hoffs/V. Peterson)
Susanna
Got to tell you
It seems so very hard to say
And you know that the words are there, my love
When I first saw you
Didn't notice it that day
Now you're the one I'm thinking of
Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh so sure (oh so sure)
When I was a little girl
I wanted everything ideal
Yeah, and a love I could depend on
This is the real world
And I believe our love is real
And it's the only thing I'm counting on
Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh so sure
Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh so sure
This is the real world
I really want to be a girl
This is the real world (real world)
I really want to be a girl
This is the real world (real world)
I really want to be a girl
If you need me
I'll be here
On my knees
On my knees
In the neighbor's garden
Where the light is growing long
Stealing Rosemary for you, my love
It's the tiny lies I tell
For you to please
You to please
Early in the morning
When the light is growing strong
Stealing Rosemary for you, my love
I'm Stealing Rosemary
Flowers crushing on my skin
Tuscan Blue
All for you
Caught in rain and running
Home to you
I'm coming home
Stealing Rosemary for you, my love
I'm stealing Rosemary for you, my love
Stealing Rosemary
(D. Peterson/S. Hoffs/V. Peterson/D. Kahne)Debbi
Standing in the hallway
Trouble coming my way
He called me on the telephone
Guess I'm gonna be alone
Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a puzzle
In this great big world
I'm good to you but you're bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery
Tried to do it your way
You wouldn't meet me halfway there
You used to say you loved me
Now you just sit and stare Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a pain
In this great big world
I'm good to you, but you're bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery
If you wanna keep me here
You better try to make it clear
'Cause I'm halfway out the door
I can't take it anymore
Where did our love go, where did it go
Love is such a gamble
In this great big world
I'm good to you, but you're bad to me
Gotta try to lose, gotta try, gotta lose
This misery
(A. Chilton)Michael
September girls
Do so much
And for so long
'Til we touched
I love you, boy
Never mind
I've been crying
All the time
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad September girls
I don't know why
How can I deny
What's inside
Even though I
Keep away
They will love
All our days
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
When I get to bed
Late at night
That's the time he
Makes things right
Ooh when he makes
Love to me
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
When I get too close to you
I feel the fear, can almost hear it
Then you call me late at night saying can I be with you
I wanna be with you
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
You keep your thoughts to yourself
You keep me guessing while we're undressing
Then you're gone for days on end and
Here we go again
Here we go again
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
It can't keep bouncing around like this
You cut me loose then pull me in for a kiss
If you know what you want
Why don't you tell me, clearly
Wonder why it bothers me
I wonder why I even wonder why
If I had another lover, well, would it get to you
Would I get through
This puzzle of mixed messages
Mixed messages, that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
Can we try to salvage what we can
From the weight of water and sand
And lifts us up again
Well this world is spinning out of control
I'm bracing just to keep hold
As the clouds move in
With a driving wind so strong
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
What a lonely way to be
Lost at sea
Like a star in a night filled with tears
Make the sadness disappear
'Cause you're all that I hold dear
Well you walk
Never ever looking back
One defends and one attacks
There's a thousand reasons to begin again
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
Take my hand, come to me
Save a life, rescue you, rescue me
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
(S. Hoffs/E. Lowen/D. Navarro)Susanna
I hear you through the wire
The words all sound like noise
What happened to the fire in your voice
Don't try to hide the distance
It's just too big to ignore
We work it out like business
It won't work anymore
I remember eyes that shine
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free
I'll set you free Still sometimes late at night
Moonlight comes into my window
I make believe it's how it used to be
We made it look so easy
We never tried to resist
Somehow you stopped believing
Somehow we've come to this
I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free
I remember words that fell
Like coins into a wishing well
It was never meant to be
So I'll set you free
I'll set you free
So now that I must go on
What more can I do
What good is being strong
When all I ever really want is you
(J. Shear)Susanna
If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her
But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next I'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain
Some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line when they could fly
No sense thinking I could rehabilitate her
When she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine
Head in the clouds you never touch the ground
You're in such a hurry
You might lose what you've found
Uptown spinning 'round
Never stop to hear a sound
Stand back and take a look around you
Running from the pressures of a restless world
Hush for a moment, baby, just be still
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you
There's no place better than
Here right now
Meet me where icebergs melt in the sun
Let all the ties that bound you come undone
Open up.you're alive
I miss the fire in your eyes
Give a sign, tell me that you want me
When your overwhelming life becomes too much
Take another breath and you will see
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you there's no place better than
Here right now
Here right now
Remember when we laughed and carried on
Long before the madness had begun
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you
There's no place better than
Here right now
Here right now
Here right now
(V. Peterson/R. Sweet)Vicki
L.A. to Reno
Checking out the scene-o
Feeling so mean-o
Sometimes I wish I could crash and burn
Winding through the hot night
Without my headlights
20/20 hindsight
Sometimes I wish I could crash and burn
Crash and burn
And I never ever felt so lonely
Crash and burn
Can't look them in the eye
Just want to drive and drive and drive
Going nowhere
And I don't care
Can't wait 'til I get there
Sometimes I wish I could crash and burn Fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety
Gotta be a place where they can't find me
Watching all those bridges burn behind me
And if I can't see
What's passing me
Nothing's gonna touch me and I'll fly
I wish I could crash and burn
On my Philco
I hear an echo
There was a wreck-o yesterday
and by tomorrow
They'll clean the char-o
And wash the tar and trouble away
I wish I would
I wish I could
I wish I would
(V. Peterson/S. Hoffs)Vicki
I saw you today
She's lovely
You're such a heavenly pair
You hope and you pray
Someday she'll take you all the way there
You should know better, darling
When push comes to shove
Angels don't fall in love
You stand at the gate
Hoping to gain admission
How long are you willing to wait
She won't give permission tonight
You've got your higher aims
Got your ambitions
You think you're spiritual
And on some mission
Well, I can see it when I look in your eyes
When you think of love
You think of compromise
It's no big disgrace
There's no loss of grace
The trouble is there's always someone there to take your place
And the trouble is you don't believe that it's true
When the sun goes down there's something left for you
The trouble is I see you missing so much
While you're knocking on all the wrong doors
Looking for some angel's touch
You think she's everything you're dreaming of
The trouble is those angels never fall in love
(S. Hoffs/B. Steinberg/T. Kelly)Susanna
I love it in your room at night
You're the only one who gets through to me
In the warm glow of the candlelight
Oh, I wonder what you're gonna do to me
In your room
I come alive when I'm with you
I'll do anything you want me to
In your room
I love it in your room all day
When you're gone I like to try on all your clothes
You won't regret it if you let me stay
I'll teach you everything that a boy should know In your room
I'm alive when I'm with you
Gonna make your dreams come true
In your room
I feel good in your room
Let's lock the world out
Feels so good when we kiss
Nobody ever made me crazy like this
I'll do anything you want me to
I only want to be with you
In your room
In your room
(D. Peterson/V. Peterson)Vicki
She walks in the room
And checks out the faces
We think she's all the seven wonders of the world
But there's a sadness
Hidden in the bizarre
Moonlight and madness
Living in a bell jar
She dresses in black
'Cause sorrow is a magnet
Everything comes to her like it was meant to be
But she's frustrated
Leaving things as they are
What she created
Living in a bell jar
She feels so at home
She's never alone
But she's oh so lonely
What is the crime
In knowing your mind
Set it free
Attached to a mirror
In her glass-sided prison
She writes the note that will excuse her from this world
It's complicated
Living in a bell jar
She suffocated
Living in a bell jar
(P. F. Sloan/S. Barri)
Don't botter cryin'
Don't botter crawlin'
It's all over now
No use in stallin'
The love I once felt
I don't feel anymore for you
This time I'll even
Open the door for you
You walked out
When I was down
Well now I'm well off
And look who's comin' around
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where
You're looking good
It's hard to fight it
There's no use explainin'
I've already decided
That livin' without ya
Is worse than without ya
I won't spend a lifetime
A-worryin' about ya
Things got rough
And you dissappeared
Now I'm back on my feet
And look who's standing thereWhere were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where
You were so young
And you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's
Innocent child
The first day I saw you
You really got me
I thought I could change ya
What good did it do me
Things got rough
And I couldn't wait
Now you're trippin' back
But babe, it's too late
Where were you when I needed you
Where were you when I wanted you
Where were you when I needed you
Where
(D. Peterson/W. Igleheart)Debbi
Out my window
The rain starts to fall
And the wind blows
Through an empty hall
In the mirror
Reflections of you
In the distance I hear a sound
Is that you coming around
Oh, what you gonna do
I think I should be with you
A love that's overdue
Oh I think I should be with you Thought I saw you
In a stranger's face
Or should I walk away
Should I call you
'Round the corner
Is around the world
Is that you looking at me
Or am I living a dream
And when I'm lost in a dream
You are all I can see
All alone in the night I'm waiting for you
Every moment I'd die
Just to look in your eyes
The dream is alive, I'm waiting
Oh my, how I try
To make you see that
I should be with you
Oooh, oh I've had sleepless nights
Toss and turn, wake up burning
For what you inspire
So I'm gonna walk right down your street
With a love that I can't hide
I've got one thing on my mind, yeah
I'll even sacrifice my pride
'Cause I want you...
Oooh, oh how I wish you would be mine
My pulse is weak, I'm blushing brighter
Than a Valentine
'Cause I've been walking down your street
With a love that I can't hide
I've got one thing on my mind, yeah
I'll even sacrifice my pride'Cause I can't stop
The way I feel
So I keep walking on
'Cause I want you...
Walking down your street...
(P. Simon)Bangles
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter
Hear the salvation army band
Down by the riverside
It's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry a cup in your hand
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winterHang on to your hopes my friend
That's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again
Look around
Grass is high
Fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life
Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
It's a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
(L. Sternberg)Vicki, Michael, Susanna
All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink then they bring you more
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian All the kids in the marketplace say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Slide your feet up the street bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs cruise down the block
All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
All the cops in the donut shop say
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
(M. Steele)Michael
You think I'm crazy or something
Always following you around
You say I'm a hopeless case
Run an obsession into the ground
You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
Look over your shoulder
And you say I'm haunting you
So why do you call me
Why do you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do You hold me responsible
Yeah, so I stand accused
Of causing all the trouble
After high school
Between him and you
You call me a loser
You call me a shadowing fool
But I was a good girl
Yeah, 'til you taught me
What it means to be true
Why do you call me
I know you look for me
Why do your eyes follow me the way they do
(S. Hoffs/E. Lowen/D. Navarro)Susanna
You were standing like a statue in the light
And it looked like just like perfection in my eyes
When I spoke I staggered from the flow
Once I touched I never could let go, oh, oh, oh
This is what I waited for
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
For a while
So we whispered every secret we could tell
And we painted lovely pictures on ourselves
Though we hid the parts we did not want to know
As the strenght of our illusions took control, oh, oh, oh
This is what I waited for
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
I never know if my heart tells lies
Caught in a feeling I just can't fight
Thirst like a warning too
Then come back around
Turn the clock back around
Oh, oh, oh, oh
This is what I waited for
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
Oh, oh, oh
Everything I wanted
(Christopher)Susanna
Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there
All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun
(S.Hoffs/B. Steinberg/T. Kelly)Susanna
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame
Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling
(M. Steele/D. White/E. Lowen/D. Navarro)Michael
When I saw you for the first time
Eyes the color of the ocean
Something moved inside of me
Long forgotten lying broken
Now I can't turn away
Watching you as you lay sleeping
Can you hear winds of change
Is this something to believe in I lost direction in the darkness
Couldn't stop myself from running
I could feel the sun on my back
But I was afraid to let the light in
Now I can't run anymore
Now I see this gift you bring me
Can you hear winds of change
Maybe this loser's luck is turning
I will carry you in my heart
I will hold you in my memory
You could be a million miles away
But when I call
You will hear me
(V. Peterson/V. Vincent)Vicki
Words of comfort and love
Spoken in design
Turn cruel unkind
You have your ready treasures or sin
And it all begins
With an innocent smile
Go on, make a play for her now
While I'm standing here
I bleed so slow
You may never know
Whisper she is safe
That you sympathize
The darkest lies
When you know right now you'll be gone
At the kiss of dawn
Your conscience runs clear Go on, make a play for her now
While I'm standing here
I bleed so slow
You may never know
And I won't make a sound
Who am I to lay the blame
When it's all a game to you
You and I misfired
Left me cold and tired
Hey love it's alright
Go on, make a play for her now
While I'm standing here
I don't keep score
No not anymore
And I won't make a sound
Hey, who am I to lay the blame
When it's just a game
In the back of your mind
The pattern's starting to unwind
And you know you're alone
Oh, but you smile anyhow
When the moment allows
Make a play for her now
(E. Rhodes)Debbi
Know, you gotta know
Is that yourself or nothing at all
Oh, you think you live
Well how can you, when you're stuck in four walls
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life you've been locked in you room
You've never had a chance to roam
Away from home
So, you come and go
Well good day, don't waste anytime
Oh, your life today
It's all familiar, soon you will find
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life you've been locked in you room
You've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.
Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, liveNow, do what you want
Or where you want, it's all up to you
Oh, you like the room
It's nice to do what you wanna do
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life you've been locked in you room
You've never had a chance to roam
Away from home
If you know by now
What life's about, go on now and live
And if you don't know how
It's not so hard, just let go and live
If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life you've been locked in you room
You've never had a chance to roam
Away from home
Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, live
(V. Peterson)Susanna
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James
It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James
Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feeling somewhat surprised
You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing throughOh, James
Letting me down again, James.
(Oh, let me down) down, down
(Oh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Oh, let me down) down, down
(Oh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Oh, let me down) down
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore
And now I realize I had it all wrong
I'll only take this shit for so long
Woh, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
Letting me down again, James
(S. Hoffs/V. Peterson)
Susanna
The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feeling sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgement day
Wasn't it me who said
There'll be a price to pay
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no
Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly you sight a fancy chance
Since love is at your door
We're seeing through you now
I saw it all beforeAnd I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Emotion is a virtue
For you it is the one fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne and drinking
Thinking she'll return your call
Every story's got an ending
Look out, here it comes, here it comes
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
