I put a spell on you, because you're mine
You'd better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you always run around
I just can't stand it,
The way you alwys try to put me down
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
I put a spell on you, because you're mine!
You'd better stop the things you do
I ain't lying, you know I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you always run around
I just can't stand it
The way you always try to put me down
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
Because you're mine!
I love you, I love you, I love you oh! Baby oh!
And I don't care if you don't want me
I'm yours right now
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
Because you're mine,
Nikki's at the campsite in the caravan
On the Riviera
Every night the bugs bite
Catch her if they can
But she don't hear of it
She say...
"I'm working on my tan...
Oh man,
I'm working on my tan
Oh man,
Working on my tan"
Harvey sings calypso in thehotel band
But it's just financial
Playing for the dipsoes, and the also-ran
But he ain't anxious, Man,
He say, "I'm workin on my tan
Oh man...
I'm working on my tan.
Oh man
Workin on my tan."
Hunt yourself and island
Hitch down to the beach
The sun belong to everyone,
In everybody's reach
If confined to dry land,
Peel yourself a peach (or Heal yourself a beach, you decide)
Hey c'mon, son of a gun...
Do I have to teach you what to say?
Take a bus, take a truck.
Take a bus, take a truck
Take a bus, take a truck
But take along, your good look!
Do it in Jamaica
Do it in Japan
Do it in Siberia
Give us all a break and do it in Iran
Do it in Afghanistan.
Everybody say - ay
I'm working on my tan. Oh man!
I'm working on my tan. Oh man!
Working on my tan!

This is the song Tim sang at the S.T.A.G.E. Benefit, 1996.
The sun comes up, I think about you.
The coffee cup, I think about you.
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind.
The morning ends, I think about you.
I talk to friends, and think about you,
And do they know, it's like I'm losing my mind.
All afternoon, doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right.
I dim the lights, and think about you.
Spend sleepless nights, and think about you.
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind.
Does no one know, it's like I'm losing my mind.
All afternoon, doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright.
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor,
Not going left, not going right.
I dim the lights, and think about you.
Spend sleepless nights to dream about you.
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?
Or am I losing my mind?
A ballad by Henry Clay Work, originally published in 1864
Researched by Betty Thomas.
Nicodemus the slave was of African birth and was bought for a bag full of gold; He was reckoned to be of the salt of the earth, but he died years ago very old. Twas his last sad request, so we laid him to rest in the trunk of an old hollow tree; "Wake me up" was his charge "at the first break of day, wake me up for the great jubilee."
He was known as a prophet, at least was as wise, for he told of the battles to come; and we trembled with dread when he rolled up his eyes, and we heeded the shake of his thumb. Though he clothed us with fear, yet the garments he wore were in patches at elbow and knee; and he still wears the suit that he used to of yore as he sleeps in the old hollow tree.
Nicodemus was never the sport of the lash, though the bullet has oft crossed his path; there were none of his masters so brave or so rash as to face such a man in his wrath. Yet his great heart of kindness was filled to the brim, he obeyed who was born to command; but he longed for the morning which then was so dim, for the morning which now is at hand.
Twas a long weary night, we were almost in fear that the future was more than he knew; twas a long weary night but the morning is near and the words of our prophet are ture. There are signs in the sky that the darkness is gone, there are tokens in endless array; while the storm which had seemingly banished the dawn, on hastens the event of the day.
Now down the road there lives a man I'd like you all to know,
He grew a big zucchini for the local flower show
And when the story got around they came from far and wide,
And when then saw what he had grown, everybody cried.....
Ooooh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, it must be two foot long or even more.
And it's such a lovely color, so big, and round, and fat,
I've never seen a zucchini grow quite as big as that,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before.
He was leaning on the garden gate the other day,
And beckoned to a lady who lives just across the way,
He took her down the garden path and showed it to her with pride,
And when she saw the size of it, the little lady sighed..
Ooooh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, it must be two foot long or even more.
And it's such a lovely color, so big, and round, and fat,
I've never seen a zucchini grow quite as big as that,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before.
Third verse, worse than the first!
And then the flower show was held and everybody went,
To see this huge zucchini, lying there inside the tent.
Soon the judges came along to give the prizes out,
And they only took one look at it and they began to shout,
Now what did they shout???"
OOOOOH! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, it must be two foot long or even more.
And it's such a lovely color, so big, and round, and fat,
I've never seen a zucchini grow quite as big as that,
I try every way I know to tell you
I run down all my clever ways
Every smart, forever phrase
How'm I gong get a, hack out another love letter
But you deserve better babe
The hardest thing for me,
Is true simplicity
But it's the only thing that's good enough for you
Every day I wake up later
I'm afraid to face the sun
I want to hide from everyone
Memory is bitter,
Tell myself I'm no quitter
But the gold no longer glitters babe
The hardest thing for me,
Is true simplicity
But it's the only thing that's good enough for you
Blood in a bucket
No rhyme, mainline, sunshine
And it's the nearest this boy's been to joy
And I do believe
I shall believe
I shall be free
On the day you say you need me
Need me
Need me
Yeah.....
I push the doorknob to the booze
I might try out for the blues
Aching and lonely,
What does it take to telephone me?
I'm much too close to breaking
But I do believe,
I shall believe
I shall be free
On the day you say you need me
Need me
Need me
Yeah....
The hardest thing for me
Is true simplicity
It's the only thing that's good enough for you
The hardest thing for me
Is true simplicity
It's the only thing that's good enough for you...
I went down to Paradise Garage
And took my place in line
The cashier said
"Are you alright?"
I said "I'm feelin' fine"
I'm a stranger to Nirvana,
I don't box outside my weight
But when I stepped out of the taxi
I did not anticipate this feelin'
(Oh excuse me, sir...
Oh, no, no, after you...)
Baby's got a dream and she can boogie
Daddy's got a groove that's coming clean
Jemie's got a vision of a permanent position
Me, I'm oiling up my dance machine
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
Well, I'm from Plainsbro, New Jersery,
And I didn't bring a date
I guess I wasn't really sure
If you'd be boogeyin' this late
I can't think were I put my wallet
Naive suburban fool
You wouldn't think that I'd spent hours outside
French polishing my cool...
And feelin' so strange
(I said after you...
I'm a gentleman...
Well, by implication)
Baby's got a dream and she can boogie
Daddy's got a groove that's comin' clean
Jemie's got a vision of a permanent position,
Me, I'm oiling up my dance maching
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
Gotta boogie!
Baby's got a dream and she can boogie
Daddy's got a groove that's comin' clean
Jemie's got a vision, of a permanent position
Me, I'm oiling up my dance machine
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
And it goes like this
Well, I really only stepped inside to vary my routine
You see, I read about this discotheque
In New York Magazine
(Hey Baby,
What's your sign?
And haven't we met before?)
I really must suggest
That we've achieved a rare rapport
Hit the ceiling
(Where are you?
Come on,
Come on
You're usually so punctual)
Gotta boogie
(Uh, no, I had a little trouble at the door,
But, anyway,,,,twenty bucks took care of it...
Do you come here a lot?)
Well, this morning on the radio I heard the DJ say
That the temperature is rising,
And it's going to be a real hot day
I took the taxi to the studio at 48th and Broadway
But the engineer was late, Made me wait
I said Hey Man, Hey!
C-c-c-catch me now
Don't let go
C-c-c-catch me now
Because I'm on a roll
On a roll
Well I only got a minute
And it's such a simple thing to say
You better get it on the first take
I gotta make a matinee
C-c-c-catch me now,
Don't let go
Catch me now,
Because I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
On a roll
If you stop to think you'll fall
Gotta go
Gotta do, That's all
I've gotta blow, because I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll
On a roll
I'm on a roll
C-c-c-catch me now
Dont' let go
C-c-c-catch me now,
Because I'm on a roll
Baby woke up nervous
She was sweating from the steam
Kicked off the covers
Fever burning bright
Paranoia night
Five alarm alert repeats
This city never beats you
But it buries you so deep
'Cause there ain't no love on the the street
Baby's breathing deeply
She's listening to her heart beat
Walks to the kitchen
Dishes in the sink
Baby doen't think it matters
Maybe read a magazine
And the colored girls go
Whoop-de-doop-de-doop-de-doop-
Doop-de-doop-de-doop
'Cause there ain't no love
Ain't no love in the street
'Cause there ain't no love on the street
Baby needs a frame of reference
Some other place to go to
All night launderettes
Light a cigarette
Jump an usherette
Babe's an all night diner
And she's got a trucker's appetite
And ther ain't no love
Edith Sitwell giving readings
14 Moscow Road
Osbert's giving champagne parties
Sachie's got a cold
Gertrude's hanging pictures
Alice making tea
Me, I do the only thing that still
Makes sense to me
I do the rock
I do the rock, rock
John and Yoko farming beef
Raising protein quota
Sometimes they make love and art
Inside their dakota
Rodney's feeling sexy
Mick is really frightfully bold
Me, I do the only thing that stops me growing old
I do the rock
I do the rock rock
I do the rock rock rock
Well, it's stimulating
Solzhenitzin' feels exposed
Build a barbed wired prison
Nietsche's six feet under but his babies still got rhythm
Einstein's celebrating ten decades
But I'm afraid philosophy is just too much responsibility for me
I do the rock
I do the rock
Baby Ruth and Dizzy Dean
Best and Colin Cowdrey
Little Mo, Virginia Wade
Pistol Pete and O.J.
I've always like Di Maggio
And rockne's pretty knute you know
I could never wack a ball with such velocity
I do the rock

It's stimulating, I'm a keen student
Liz and Dick and Britt and Liza
Jaclyn, Kate and Farah
Meg and Roddy, John Travolta
Governor Brown and Linda
Interview and People Magazine
Miss Rona and the Queen
It must be really frightful to attract publicity
I do the rock
Myself
I do the rock
Carter, Begin and Sadat
Breznhev, Teng and Castro
Everyday negotiate us closer to desastro
Idi Amin and the Shah
And Al Fatah is quite bizarre
I could never get the hang of ideology
I do the rock
I do the rock
Well, you can Telex my accountant
Call up Tele-Credit, too
I know they send a monthly statement
But I've never read it through
You say you won't accept my Visa
Or American Express
The computer is suspicious
'Cause I've got no fixed address
Lady, that's a valid document
Check out the way I'm dressed!
You know the way I'm feelin' now,
I'd take a lie-detector test!
Paradise lost for capital gain
Traded for a ticket on the gravy train
I can amortize the cost,
With a minimum of pain
But I need it for a write off,
Can't take another night off
You know I never carry change....
I just charge it
Where do I sign?
Charge it
Show me the dotted line
Charge it
I don't have the time to waste
Charge it
Oh, don't mess around
Charge it
I got to get downtown
'Cause I promised to deliver
To live up to the letter of the Lord,
I'm in a state of grace
Yeah, Baby, Yeah
Oh! Oh!
Well, I've enjoyed us doing business
But I really must confess
This pompous attitute just isn't calculated to impress
There's a driver in my car outside
Who's easily distressed
Lady, when he's through with you
He's gonna leave your face a mess!
Paradise lost for capital gain
Traded for a ticket on the gravy train
I can amortize the cost with a minimum of pain
But I need it for a write off

A red one? I don't have a red one!
Oh, just that gold one
I don't know, do they come in platinum?
Oh !
Where do I sign?
I don't know...
Maybe I can just make my mark...
I don't know, do you read???
Are you literate, Babe???
Are you numerate, Babe???
Do you get laid, Babe???
I don't carry green, it's just...
It makes such a bulge in the pocket
You like the suit?
There's...there's something in the piping in the back
I wanted to have changed,
But my spanish tailor didn't fly in last week
You know him? He's called Manuel
But he always makes the pocket so that if you put money in it, It looks so ugly
Oh, cash, Babe
...Cash
Oh, fine! Send for the manager!
You can't be the manager!
Are you kidding?
Well, a sister used to hide it,
So I never thought she'd find it,
(so) she threw you over for posing in a spangled wrapper.
She won't let you stroke your hair
(or) if you move her like you dare
She just played you up before you realized it happened.
She can really do the Brontosaurus
And she can scream a heebie-jeebie chorus
Until you know what she's really got
'Cause she can do it loud
(repeat chorus)
Do it! Do it! Do it!
Well her daddy's gettin' old
And he seemed to lose control
When the Brontosaurus stalked into the house to trap her.
Well a sister used to hide it
So I never thought she'd find it
'Till she blew you up, exploding like a fire cracker.
(Chorus)
Gimme a B (B!)
Gimme a R (R!)
Gimme an O (O!)
Gimme a NTOSAURUS!
Uh...hang on a minute!
Gimme a B (B!)
Gimme a R (R!)
Gimme a ONTOSAURUS
You gotta be jokin' mate
Uh oh, B, uh oh, R

We have ways of making you talk
(Giggle, giggle), help me (giggle)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Catch you later, baby,
I've got to split
I've got a habit I just can't quit
Catch you later, baby,
I gotta split
I've got a habit I just can't quit
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh (oh, oh)
A flake of snow on a silver spoon
A pretty woman and a big full moon
A handsome man with a diamond ring
How he wishes he had that thing
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
He's got the fingers in her parted lips
He's got the hand up on her Africa hips
(Give me money for the dentist honey!)
I've got a habit, and it's all mine
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)
It's biting my nails
Oh, oh, (oh, oh)

Birds of a feather flock together, yes they do, Yes!
Birds of a feather flock together, yes they do, Yes!
My voluptuary bird of paradise, I fold your wings,
I won't think twice.
If the pleasures of the flesh could transcend,
Then ecstasy would be my end...
Don't be contrite, let's take flight!
I might not feel this open again.
Struttting peacock, with azure plumes,
Come in into my cage, I mean my room!
Birds of a feather flock together, yes they do, Yes!
Birds of a feather flock together, yes they do, Yes!
It's intoxicating for me to fantasize like this,
I'd rather be anywhere than this flea-bitten dive.
A funky motel room with a kleig light outside
A lincoln laying rubber, spraying gravel at the door.
Don't be contrite, let's take flight!
I might not feel this need again.
Swaggering tough, with youth's cruel bloom,
Come in into my cage, I mean my room!
Birds of a feather flock together, yes they do, yes!
Birds of a feather flock together, yes they do, yes!
We're from the same jungle
Our existence depends on our underhanded games.
There's no money in the mattress,
No release for your veins.
We're just two jive street fighters, so don't complain.
Don't be contrite, let's take flight!
I might not feel this sane again.
Alley commando, denium dragoon,
Come into my rage.....I mean my room!
Birds of a feather flock together, yes they do, yes!
Birds of a feather flock together, yes they do, yes!
I'm not worth a damn,
Lost in the stars.
A roamer's flesh, watering eyes,
Your smoldering reckless,
So insinuating, I'm a victim of passion,
A vapid melting bruise...Falling bewildered....
Oh, way, I'm in love with Betty Jean
Oh yeah...
Oh, way, every time I see her standing there
She's the toughest girl for seven blocks
Yellow sweater, flourescent socks....Yeah...
Oh, way, I'm in love with Betty Jean,
Oh Yeah...
Oh, way, I'm in love with Betty Jean's blonde hair
She's a lady,
But I don't care,
How she talks,
I love the way she walks, Yeah...
Oh, way, she's so warm and good to me,
Oh Yeah...
I'm in love, oh, I'm in love, oh, I'm in love, oh
Oh way, I'm in love with Betty Jean,
Oh yeah,
Oh way, she's so warm and good to me,
Oh yeah
When she's near I act so awkardly,
Maybe some day she will talk with me, Yeah..
Oh, way, I'm in love with Betty Jean, oh yeah...
I'm in love, oh
I'm in love, oh
I'm in love, oh
I'm in love, oh
I'm in love, oh
So in love, oh
I'm in love, oh
So in love
I'm in love with Betty Jean,
Oh yeah
I'm in love with Betty Jean,

Baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Don't know what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
Baby love, oh baby love
I'm missing you, oh yes, missing you
Instead of breaking up
Let's do some kissin' and makin' up
Don't throw our love away
In my arms, why don't you stay
Need you (need you)
Need you (need you)
(do do do do) (do do do do) (do do do do) (do do do do)
Need to hold you once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don't throw our love away
Please don't do me this way
Not happy like it used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I've been chasing you
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby
It's hurtin' me, dear, it's hurtin' me
Oh oh oh oh, baby love
Don't throw our love away
Anyone who ever loved could look at me
And know that I love you
Anyone who ever dreamed could look at me
And know I dream of you
Knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart
Could take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do?
Every time you go away, I always say
This time it's goodbye, dear
Loving you the way I do
I take you back, without you I'd die, dear
Knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart
Might take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
What am I to do?
Knowing I love you, so
Anyone who had a heart
Would take me in his arms and love me too
You couldn't really have a heart and hurt me
Like you hurt me and be so untrue
Anyone who had a heart could love me too
Anyone who had a heart could truly take me
In his arms and always love me
Why won't you, yeah?
Anyone who had a heart could love me too
Anyone who had a heart could truly take me
In his arms and always love me
Look at me
In waters so deep
Much too far from shore
To see the lights of reason anymore
And I'm sinking slowly to the bottom
No emotions to save me
I ain't got 'em anymore
Night and day
I deep drifting farther away
Much too far from home
Where the fires of passion keep me warm
And I'm miles away from where we started
No I don't know the reason that we parted anymore
S.O.S.
I'm gonna do my best
To get a message through to you
Make contact
The way we always did before
S.O.S.
I'm gonna get no rest
'Til I come sailing home to you
Through this storm
And if my voice
Starts suddenly shaking
Don't be confused anymore
It's just the sound of my heart breaking
Ship to shore
I went down to Paradise Garage

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty
Bend down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people lookin' half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match-head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be all right
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, evening in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
'Til I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Runnin' upstairs, gonna meet you on the roof top
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be all right
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
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty
Bend down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people lookin' half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match-head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat, it'll be all right
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the nights
In the summer in the city
[spoken] It’s great to be here, with you young witches,
on this fabulous night! Remember Gills, show the world,
let them know it’s Halloween. Hit it!
Curry Wurst
[singing]
I wouldn’t change places
With anyone tonight
We’ll carve pumpkin faces
And watch the witches flight
Every human heart will shudder
Every soul will shake with fear
Tonight, the creepiest
Tonight, the scariest
Tonight, the most wonderful night
ahhhhhhhhf the year
Anything can happen on Halloween
Your dog could turn into a cat
There may be a toad in your bass guitar
Or your sister could turn into a bat
Christmas time brings the snow
Summer time brings the sun
But on Halloween your blood begins to run
Something’s funky going down now*
Curry Wurst
Anything can happen on Halloween
It’s better than a video
Gremlins gonna mess up every cassette
From London to Idaho
April first can be fun
New Year’s Eve is a bore
But on Halloween your flesh begins to crawl
Oh, I’m losing control*
Anything can happen on Halloween
Your toenails grow long and your hair turns green
Your teacher could become a sardine
Your dentist could turn into a queen.
Has anybody seen my tambourine*
I may start playing
Begin the begin
The craziest night you’ve ever seen
This hairy, scary, creepy, crawly,
Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I always will
If it take an only lifetime
If you ask me to, I will
And when at first I saw you
I didn't know your name
But it never really mattered
For I love you just the same
Love you forever
And forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the thing you do
Endear you to me
Oh, you know I will
Oh oh you know I will
Love you forever
And forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the thing you do
Endear you to me
Oh, you know I will
Oh oh you know I will
(Three times now)
Oh oh you know I will
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the thing you do
Endear you to me
Oh, you know I will
(Two times now)
Oh oh you know I will
(Three times now)
Oh oh you know I will
(How 'bout four times)
Well no one told me about her, the way she lied
Well no one told me about her, how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
Well no one told me about her, what could I do
Well no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there
------ electric piano ------
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there
Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
Mmm, sludge
Mmm, filth
Aah, fumes
Oooh, cack
Oil and grime, poison sludge
Diesel clouds and noxious muck
Slime beneath me, slime up above
Ooh, you'll love my (ah-ah-ah) toxic love
Toxic love
I see the world and all the creatures in it
I suck 'em dry and spit 'em out like spinach
I feel the power, it's growing by the minute
And pretty soon you're gonna see me wallow in it
I feel good, a special kind of horny
Flowers and trees depress and frankly bore me
I think I'll spew them all with cyanide saliva
Pour me a puke cocktail and take me to the driver
Filthy brown acid rain
Pouring down like egg chow mein
All that's foul, all that's stained
Breeding in my toxic brain
And after dinner I could go for something sweet
Revenge for all those years locked in a tree!
I'll crush and grind all creatures great and small
And put up parking lots and shiny shopping malls
'Cause greedy human beings will always lend a hand
With the destruction of this worthless jungle land
And what a beautiful machine they have provided
To slice a path of doom with my foul breath to guide it
Hit me one time
Hit me twice
Ah, ah, ah
That's rather nice
Oil and grime, poison sludge
Diesel clouds and noxious muck
Slime beneath me, slime up above
They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark
Tingle to his bones
'Twas then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked alone by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate
A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat up shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
He woke up; the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care; pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again. How long must he wait
One more time for a simple twist of fate
People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Wow!
Ah yeah!
Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Oreleans
Up in New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying
Records playing, dancing in the streets
It doesn't matter what hat you wear
Just as long as you are there
Grab a guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
There'll be dancing
Dancing in the streets
It's just an invitation
Across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing and singing
Music swinging, dancing in the streets
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying
Records playing, dancing in the streets
It doesn't matter what hat you wear
Just as long as you are there
Grab a guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
Sloe Gin, sloe Gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well I'm sick and I'm all done in
And I'm standing in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna cry
I'm so fucking lonely
And I ain't even high
I'm so fucking lonely
And I feel like I'm gonna die
Mayday, mayday I've been shot down
Over the stormy sea
Well I swear that I'm drifteing away
Just can´t get a grip on me
Well..., I can't even try
I'm so fucking lonely
And I ain't even high
I hate to go home alone
But what else is new?
I'm so fucking lonely
I hate to go home alone
But what else is new?
I'm so fucking lonely
I'm so fucking lonely
You stand and bleeding people pass you by
Don't matter if you live
Don't matter if you die
Sloe Gin, sloe Gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well I'm sick and I'm all done in
And I'm standing in the rain
And I fell like I´m gonna cry
I'm so fucking lonely
And I ain't even high
