I died
So many years ago
But you can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
Mmm-mmm...
You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear
That doesn't make it real
That's great
But I don't want to play
'Cause being with you
Touches me more than I can say
And since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away
And let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know
You got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
You might misbehave
But 'til you do, I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace
I know
I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here, beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
But I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be and
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you
Let me rest in peace?

It started a long time
it started a long time
it started a long time ago
it started with a whip
and a man went down
a boot on his head as he laid on the ground
but he didn't die
he got up
and start walking down that road
and the man was a black man
the man was a proud black man
try-y-ing to go home
and the man is hurt
his bloods on the ground
he needs some help
but he's got no-one around
so he digs down to his soul
and sings a song that goes a little somethin' like this
[ Scatting ]
and the devil was there
the devil was there
you better believe the devil was there that day
but the devil wasn't walking with the black man
no the devil wasn't walking with the proud black man
no the devil was wiping the blood off his boots that
and I can guarantee you brothers and sisters
within a hundred and ten percent accuracy baby
that jesus was walking with the black man that day

when I was a baby mama called my name
said baby baby baby James
you'll sing the blues
you'll sing the blues I hex you whoa whoa whoa yeah
but if you play your cards right my sweet child
the blues will bless you yeah
when I was a boy got my first guitar
wanted to know them three chords what they were
they were the blues
they were the blues that saved me yeah yeah yeah whoa
yeah
and if you wanna know the truthfuls
the blues pretty much raised me
when I was a baby mama called my name
said baby baby baby James
you'll sing the blues
you'll sing the blues I hex you whoa whoa whoa yeah yeah
but if you play your cards right my sweet child

I know you//are tryin' to help me
when you say the things you say
but my head//can't wrap around it
that there could be another way
open your eyes now you can see
I'm on my knees I'm hopeless
you can give up on me
it ain't no thing anyway
I've played my hand cast my lot in
now there ain't no looking back
but what that's done and where it leaves us
oh my god it's looking black
open your eyes now you can see
I'm on my knees I'm hopeless
you can give up on me
It ain't no thing anyway
come to me and lay your head down
close your eyes and fall with me
I won't think about tomorrow
because tonight I'm feelin' free
layin' with me girl can you see
I'm on my knees I'm hopeless
you can give up on me
it ain't no thing anyway
open your eyes now you can see
I'm on my knees I'm hopeless
you can give up on me

It's over now
I think I get it
It's been years
Since I saw your face
But now I don't want to hear from you
I don't want to hear about anyone
Or anything
Named Robyn for a while
Goodbye the sea
Where you live
Goodbye the water
Keep my toes dry for a while
Nobody heard what you had to say
'Cause kisses whisper stay away
Don't make me feel
Like that again
Oh poor Robyn
Don't be scared
Let me hold you
Let me take you there
I want you so
I want you
I want you so

Hope I meet you on a good day
When I'm feeling all myself
Don't be startled if I runaway
Especially if you smile and really ring my bell
Hope you take it in a good way
when I show myself to you
I wouldn't worry about it anyway
I have soft skin and scars are nothing new
Please, no promises, don't wanna hear the words
Nothing you can say that I haven't already heard
Please, no promises, let's just pass the time
Come and sit with me and give me your eyes
We can find ourselves a quiet room
And let our hands run free
You can tickle underneath my arm
All the way down to behind my bended knee
Please, no promises, don't wanna hear the words
Nothing you can say that I haven't already heard
Please, no promises, let's just pass the time
Come and sit with me and give me your eyes
When we made ourselves that quiet place
And the world was just us two
I hope that you wont runaway
We can stay there

who'll tell you just where to get off
and when to do it//and just how to get there
that's Lou
who'll take you from Leeds to Bristol
through the cops and robbers and the one-way headaches
that's Lou
Louise
Louise
Coventry really brought our pants down
they cocked their guns and got all our crowns yeah
wake up Lou you'd know what to do
by London we were tired as hell
had to shake some bunnies that got on our tail yeah
punch it Lou
punch it Lou
punch it Chewie!
punch it Chewie
but a cop didn't like the way Lou
went down a one-way street backward
slow down Lou we don't wanna die
Lou said sit down baby
I'll get you to your date you won't be late
and she did
hey Lou
what happened to that cop back there man//whoa
he was there man and now he ain't
what you got some cop disappearing ink up there or
something Lou
you're beautiful, you're amazing, you're no wookie
sometimes I'm a dick man

every day I take you dancing in the garden
you could be my woman that would be fine
if you'd be my baby I would drive you crazy
every night and day all of the time
look at me looking at you looking at me looking in your
eyes
look at me looking at you looking at me looking in your
eyes
and when you take me into your garden
let me kiss your blossom and make it mine
I just wanna drink your sweet crystal clear water
and then help you turn it into wine
look at me looking at you looking at me looking in your
eyes
look at me looking at you looking at me looking in your
eyes
and when you are sleeping I can watch you breathin'
murmur in the dark and call my name
and when I join you underneath the blanket
I know I will never be the same
look at me looking at you looking at me looking in your
eyes
look at me looking at you looking at me looking in your
eyes

I remember what you told me
Last I said I wanted you
A crooked smile played
Across your lips and you said
Damn all you men are just the same
It's been a longtime, that's granted
But i bet you havent changed
It's been a longtime since I was okaaay,
okay yeah
In the years we spent together
I fell in love withyour honesty
You never told me that
Your sweet words were never meant to apply to me
It's been a long time, thats granted
but I bet you haven't changed
It's been a longtime,since I was okaaay
okay, yeah
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la la laaaaa
la la la la lala
You're so perfect
Put together
Liz your beauty is faultless
But what I thought was
Done for my eyes
Was really building a fortress
It's been a long time,that's granted
But I bet you're just the same
It's been along time since I was okaaay
okay
It's been a long time
It's been a long time

meet me in London city
beneath the slate grey sky
I've done it all without you
but that's no life
that's not the life
bring your grace to London city
I've been pinin' all my life
and if you don't make it through Heathrow
I just might die
yes I could die
and I know I wasn't pleasant
and I guess I never am
but if you come to me in London
I'll try again
I'll try again
come to London city
'cause this tour's just not the same
all the hotel rooms and faces
it just seems strange
yes it's strange
and I know I wasn't pleasant
and I guess I've never been
but if you come to me in London
I'll try again
I'll try again
meet me in London city
I'll make it worth your time
you're the only angel for me
and that's no lie
no that's no lie

her hair fell like a waterfall
she was young lean and long
I thought she was betrayin' me
now I find I was wrong
freight train take me outta here
I don't care where you're bound
'cause I just beat me a man tonight
who never done me wrong
I just got to be goin'
I just want to be outside
set me out in the middle of the desert tonight
so I can howl to myself
love sings like a whip-poor-will
but she don't sing for me
so I'm goin' down to Mexico
they'll never find me
she'd be up the hill doin' laundry
I'd be mendin' the fence out back
she'd be talkin' 'bout little babies again
and I'd be smilin' to myself
I hope the road will take me back
company would be nice
I better bring//a bottle of wine tonight

about all day oh and
have to go out
in the rain

apart today

and I'll say go do it don't wait boy have fun
and her lips her eyes that skin anyway you're fallin'
down

I know you are going too fast
for me to ever sneak up on you
you don't want one pair of arms
to hold you night after night after me
you look at me with smoky eyes, sayin'
come over here fella and see how warm the water is
but you've got eyes from all the guys now
what's just one more
what am I like a potato chip to you
it sounds nice if it were true
last night I dreamt of you
but what does that mean anyway
it sounds nice if it were true
last night I dreamt of you
but what does that mean anyway
I know you are going too fast
for me to ever sneak up on you
and one night stands burn me so good but
I'm afraid I'd fall this time

O you didn't even care
What they said about you
And you ran away from there
Made a home
And you filled it with
A candle on a cinder block
And a matress on the floor
This town baby,this town baby
Is gonna be ours
This town baby,this town baby
is gonna be ours,
oOoours
You find a man
And he swears to protect you
From the dark
And you love him
And you try even harder
And it feels good
And you don't give a damn
This town baby this town baby
Is gonna be ours
This town baby this townbaby
Is gonna be ours
oOoours
I got a job at the hotel
And my car runs good
And builders move in now
I got my place
And i got me a plan
And i make a little money
And ill take you home
If you just look at me
This town baby this town baby
Is gonna be ours
This town baby this town baby
Is gonna be ours

In, I'm falling in
I didn't want to
Not so fast boy
Slow
Don't wanna hurt the girl
Give her a pretty box
You'd better fill it
And I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking in to the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles, smiles
Oh, there we go again
And it feels so good
We're fallin' up and down
Damn, it's 2am again
And she kisses me goodbye
For the sixteenth time
And I'm drivin' home, it's 5am
And I'm look at the sun come up over the hills
Clouds are turnin' pink and green
And all I can see is her eyes
Eyes, eyes
And I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking in to the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles, smiles

She has
a piano
And her hands dance lustily on the keys
She has
a pen and a paper
And she draws her favourite people and one is me
She wasn't s'posed to be cool
Now I'm her fool
But I don't care
She's given me a passkey
That has led me
to the world of Patricia, Patricia
Patricia, Patricia
Small breasts
curved hip
Dark eyes
Full lip
Small hands
Long arms
Touch me,
I'm gone
Now please
Make your own cage
Now she wants out
Now she breaks out
Now I
Sit here and I sigh
'Cause the girl has gone back home to Germany
I can't
Break through
And get to
Patricia, Patricia
Patricia, Patricia

get the sweet spot in the line
when the first gun pops up I leave them behind
and at the first turn I always carve my line
'times I turn my head yeah and wave goodbye
but I don't have my own car and I have to race my friends
'cause I'm not a rich man's son no I'm not a millionaire
no no no no
no no no
you are the only daughter of a privileged second son
you say that I'm your lover but I'm not the only one
no no no no no
but I think if I had my own car then I know that I could
turn your head
take you up to see the mountains and sing you songs
before you go to bed
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
'bout midnight it's just Joe and me
while we clean the stands up he sings me melodies
and on the bus home route '95
see the love and the hatred and the boredom on the faces
of passersby
and I know that I don't have my own ride but I can teach
you how to go real fast now
stick with me if you would like some wildness
stick with me and see the whole wide world

SPIKE:
I died
So many years ago
But you can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
Mhhh
You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear,
That doesn't make him real
That's great -
But I don't wanna play
'cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
But since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away
And let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know
You got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But 'till you do
I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace
I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
But I can see you aren't impressed
So leave me be
And let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you let me rest in peace?
(spoken)

Every mornin'
Under the big yellow sun
A boy named Pedro
He's the lucky one
Can't read or write
Never been to school
Pedro picks coffee in Brazil
He no fool
You remember Billy Jack
How 'bout brother Sam
Jumped from a window last night
Somewhere in Amsterdam
Fool done broke his neck
Broke his lover's heart
She cried and shook her head
Now they're worlds apart
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that true
Ain't that true
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that you
Ain't that you
Yea-eah
Lately I've been feelin' strange
Yeah maybe a little afraid
Maybe 'cause we live and die
In a world we never made
Sometimes it's so damn hard
To believe in what is true
And if you'll be there for me
I will be there for you
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that true
Ain't that true
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that you
Ain't that you
Yea-eah
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that true
Ain't that true
Every man thinks god is on his side
Ain't that you

We met, we smiled
I put my arm around you
The camera flashed and it was over
My face was flushed
You turned and walked away
But in my pocket was your number
And I'm thinking
Who's that girl who smiles and hides at the same time
I really think she's got issues
The way she looks at me I can tell what a kiss brings
And if I taste her pain is that a crime
That night
We're upstairs in my room
I'm trying to ply you
With champagne and caviar
But you just wrinkle up your face
Won't get off second base
I'm trippin' on how strong you are
Oh my toes start dancing when you kiss me
You pull me down and I like it
Then my head explodes and I know something's hit me
You make me want to be bad...yeah
I am a monkey behind glass
turn on the lights have a laugh
get up you filthy thing and dance
and you would come across the sea
give me kisses that would speak
of your seven lonely oceans
who are you to smile and hide at the same time
I really like your issues
the way you look at me I can tell what a kiss brings

Famous quotes by James Marsters:

"The way it works? Sarah was fully clothed again and she got to sit back and laugh at James and his little sock [beat]...big sock, damn! [after being asked how the sex scenes in season 6 of Buffy worked]"

"Joss didn't even think he could play the piano, then he would sit down and lay waste to every song around him and it's like 'I'm not crying...'"

"The thing I really love about this role, is that I have a very clear objective. I know my objective from the very beginning and it's going to carry me through the whole season. That was the problem with Spike. In all honesty, that character had no objective 90 percent of the time. I would have to make it up ... To find your objective is like a gas pedal for acting. And if you can find that objective and play it honestly, it's like 'Wham!' And if you can't find it, you're mired. I'm really happy about an objective the audience suspects and the other characters don't know. It's the hidden agenda of a zealot -- and it's really interesting."

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

"Chekov man, it's all the same thing. Chekov and Buffy the vampire slayer - it's all about beautiful losers"

"I love to sweat."

"I don't have a computer - I don't like to get into it that much 'cause it can screw with your head a little."

"When you are a hero you are always running to save someone, sweating, worried and guilty. When you are a villain you are just lurking in the shadows waiting for the hero to pass by. Then you pop them in the head and go home... piece of cake."

"I'm quite comfortable with being a geek. I've been a geek since high school."

"Tough guy Spike was always the funnest, but I'm most proud of the more recent stuff, the last season, I think."

"Anne Rice really doesn't explore vampires as hideous monsters of the night, they're ancient creatures with a heart. And they want to be loved and they want connections just like we do."

"Forties are good! I'm thinking with my brain now, which is a lot more clear, and women seem to appreciate that. It's a wonderful decade where you're in control of yourself but the women are still interested."

"I am a lucky regional theater actor who happened to get a good role."

"It would have to be connected with performance art somehow, either in the front of the house or the back. I was myopic about this from fourth grade on."

"I love to work. When I was a kid, I would invite my friends over to play, then I would take them over to a recycling plant and we would haul glass all day. They hated me for this, but I thought it was fun."

"In Europe they call geeks 'smart people,' and frankly I think we live in a culture that doesn't value intelligence enough; so I am very proud in saying that I am a geek."

"It's all magic to me. Country to punk rock, all of it. Chopin to Kurt Cobain. But it always all comes back to punk for me, because that was the last time, punk rock or grunge rock, was the last time that passion ruled the airwaves."

"Yes, we were looking for a Faith spin-off, but then Faith backed down. Eliza got a really wonderful offer over on Fox in a show, and, for reasons I didn't talk to her about, she decided to go there, and everyone respects that."
