(chorus)
If you were here
I could deceive you
And if you were here
You would believe
But would you suspect
My emotion wandering, yeah
Do not want a part of this anymore
The rain water drips
Through a crack in the ceiling
And i'll have to spend
My time on repair
But just like the rain
I'll be always falling, yeah
Only to rise and fall again
(This song is completely instrumental because of the slowest music with the normal musical grand piano.)
She sits there
Her hair is curled
She is living in a detached world
He walks by
He sees his chance
Thinks he's looking for romance
For romance
He talk to her of things he's done
And tries to make it all seem fun
But as she listens to what he say
Energy just drifts
Drifts away, Drifts away
(chorus)
I have seen it
I have done it too
You could be her
He could be you
So carry on the way you are
The air is thinning more and more
The things you are, the things you do
The men he killed screaming for you
Screaming for you
Just for you
(REPEAT CHORUS)
She sits there
Her hair is curled
She is living in a detached world
But as she listens to what he say
Energy just drifts
Drifts away, Drifts away
Bushbaby-she's the one I want
She's got a natural sense of right and wrong
Bushbaby-she's the one I need
One minute she's here and the next she's gone
(chorus)
AND I KNOW-BUSHBABY-WHAT I WANT-BUSHBABY-I CAN NEVER HAVE
Bushbaby-With her ruby eyes
She can cut to the core of my disguise
Bushbaby-With her telegraph skin
She can read my mind and I can't win
CHORUS
And when a little voice inside my head screams
If I can't have you I'd be better off dead
Bushbaby-With her animal smell
She can take me to heaven or the edge of hell
Bushbaby-With her magic dance
She can send me wild with just one glance
Somebody's watching me
And now i'm nervous and i shouldn't be
Somebody's got their eye on me
Perhaps i should invite him up for tea?
We saw him smoking by the newspaper stand
There's something odd about his gloved left hand
Saw him again inside the old cafe
He makes us tense we wish he'd go away
We are detective
We are select
We are detective
Come to collect
Somebody's after me
He left his footprints by the garden tree
Last night when i got home
I got the feeling i was not alone!
Someone is on our tail
We think they're opening up our morning mail
And now each time the telephone rings
We think of frightening things
We are detective
We are select
We are detective
Come to collect
We dress up in disguise
To get away from all those prying eyes
Our friends all think we're mad
But we know better cos the spy is bad
We are detective
We are select
We are detective
Come to collect
We are detective
We are select
We are detective
Bushbaby-she's the one I want
she's got a natural sense of right and wrong
Bushbaby-she's the one I need
one minute she's here and the next she's gone
(chorus)
AND I KNOW-BUSHBABY-WHAT I WANT-BUSHBABY-I CAN NEVER HAVE
Bushbaby-With her ruby eyes
she can cut to the core of my disguise
Bushbaby-With her telegraph skin
she can read my mind and I can't win
CHORUS
And when a little voice inside my head screams
If I can't have you I'd be better off dead
Bushbaby-With her animal smell
she can take me to heaven or the edge of hell
Bushbaby-With her magic dance
she can send me wild with just one glance
CHORUS
Wake up in a strange land
one of forty thieves.
And I see for the first time just what you believe.
I go down to the market where I can buy or sell
And I listen to the chanting and all the lies that wise ones tell.
They say: East is East - West is West
Two different colours on the map.
We say:Break the line
chew the fat
keep moving out into the gap.
Beggars in the backstreets
there for all the world to leave
It's you that's begging for attention
well
it's all the same to me.
And I won't ask permission not from teachers or from kings
'cos I can see for myself all the pain that you will bring.
They say: East is East - West is West
Two different rhythms on the map. . . .
East is East - West is West
Two different colours on the map. . . .
Can you smell the perfume of a hundred thousand years?
Dare you look into the eyes that hide a hundred million tears?
No need to be so frightened of all the figures in the night
'cos we shared the same emotions and no-one's wrong and no-one's right.
They say: East is East - West is West
Two different colours on the map. . . .
They say: East is East - West is West
. . .
They say: East is East - West is West
Watching you... watching me
Watching you... watching me
I focus on a face in Samarkand
Accepting my reward
It brings alive my distant memories
They're my last resort
(chorus)
Watching you...watching me
(watching you...watching me)
A look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Dinosaurs are grazing in suburbia
They're glowing in the dark
Electrified they fight and fuss about
They're eating up the park
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
The circuit boards are linking up in rhyme
There is no reason why
Except the dreams of soft machines
We have no need to cry
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Watching you... watching me
(watching you... watching me)
Watching you... watching me
(watching you... watching me)
A look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
Look left, look right
A look left, look right
I spend all of my time...
Watching...
Watching you watching me
Yeah, watching you watching me
Yeah, watching you watching me...
Take my hand
Rob me for a while of my sight
Don't let me stand
Here underneath the red light
Oh touch my face
Feel the fascination as love grows
Your embrace
Eases the pain that only Tokyo knows
(bridge1)
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS COLD
AND ALL THE WORLD WAS OUT TO GET ME
(chorus)
TOKYO
WHY CAN'T I EVER SAY NO
TOKYO
Sense the chill
Of silent nights on my skin
Feel the thrill
As these four walls just cave in
Taste the rain
Splashes down on my roof
Seek in vain
For you will never know the real truth
(bridge2)
THIS HUMAN HEART BEATS MUCH TOO FAST
FOR COMFORT OR FOR LOVE IN TOKYO

When i was young they said to me
don't play with electricity
i tried to follow their advice
i very nearly paid the price, yeah
some go this way, some go others
some are children, some are mothers
some go this way, some go others
some are children, some are mothers
they gave me toys told me to play
they told me every single day
always saying what to do
did this ever happen to you?
and if i followed her myself
there's a bottle on the shelf
before they finished with my life we'd all up-ed and paid the price
when i was young they said to me
don't play with electricity
always saying what to do
You see me standing there
Move a little closer take a look
You see an ordinary man
You think that you can read me like a book
So you cast me a smile
Reel me in with striptease eyes
But you're way out of your depth
And you won't heed the warning signs
(chorus)
You're walking on thin ice
You're living on borrowed time
You're playing with dynamite
STILL WATERS RUN DEEP (Still waters run deep)
YOU BETTER LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP (Still waters)
I don't wanna scare you
I don't want to do you any harm
But you've got your finger on the trigger
And you're about to set off my alarm
CHORUS
You oughta know by now
Things are never what they seem
And if you play with fire
You've gotta to be able to take the heat
Runaway
So you say
See you again
Some other day
Feels like I knew you so well
But it's not that easy to tell
(chorus)
If I ever see you again
Yeah, runaway
Runaway
Could not stay
Till our bodies Turn to clay
Feels like I knew you so well
But it's not that easy to tell
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Hearing your voice in a dream
Telling me things are not as they seem
But will I every see you again,
I'm angry
Yes I'm angry
Very angry
Two people living
Living together
They do the things they want
They think they're clever
But when they fight or play their silly tricks
When they fall in love it's only politics
(chorus) Politics...Politics, yeah
Politics, Politics, Politics
I'm frightened
Yes I'm frightened
Very frightened
The boy is frightened
He doesn't understand
He's in love with another man
And when they fight or play their silly tricks
When they fall in love it's only politics
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Now I see it
See it for what it is
What seems so personal is really politics
And when we fight or make ourselves sick
When we fall in love it's only politics
Politics, yeah
Politics, tics
Politics, tics tics tic tic tic tic
Politics, yeah
(REPEAT CHORUS)
What seems so personal is really politics
Politics
Somebody's crying now
His head is full of pain
Take him to the building
Where they're playing the perfect game
Perfect game
Perfect game
He's standing at the window
To watch the falling rain
No matter how he sees it
The view remains the same
Perfect game
Perfect game
They don't know what to call him
He doesn't have a name
But they still know how to force him
To keep playing the perfect game
A set of perfect criminals
Is hard to criticize
When your watching the perfect crime
Through a pair of perfect eyes
Perfect eyes
Perfect eyes
When everybody else is simply wondering why we came
Maybe it's because we're all playing the perfect game
Perfect game
Perfect game
They don't know what to call us
Because we don't have a name
But they still know how to force us
To keep playing the perfect game
So if you want to find out why you call someone insane
Just sit inside the building where they're playing the perfect game
Perfect game, Perfect game
Perfect game, Perfect game
They don't know what to call you
Because you don't have a name
But they still know how to force you
To keep playing the perfect game
Perfect game, Perfect game
Perfect game, Perfect game
I have a picture pinned to my wall
an image of you and of me
And we're laughin' with love at it all.
Look at our life now
tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears
That we cry until dawn.
hold me now. Oh
warm my heart
Stay with me
let lovin' start
let lovin' start.
You say I'm a dreamer
we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world
We know we'll never find.
So perhaps I should leave here
yeah-yeah
go far away
But you know that there's nowhere
That I'd rather be than with you here today.
hold me now. Oh
warm my heart
. . .
hold me now. Oh
warm my heart
. . .
You asked if I love you
what can I say?
You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play.
So I'll sing you a new song
please
don't cry anymore
I'll even ask your forgiveness though I don't know
Just what I'm asking it for.
hold me now. Oh
warm my heart
. . .
hold me now. Oh
warm my heart
. . .
hold me now. Oh

Runaway
So you say
See you again
Some other day
Feels like I knew you so well
But it's not that easy to tell
(chorus)
If I ever see you again
Yeah, runaway
Runaway
Could not stay
Till our bodies Turn to clay
Feels like I knew you so well
But it's not that easy to tell
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Hearing your voice in a dream
Telling me things are not as they seem
But will I every see you again,
You told me you loved me
So I don't understand
Why promises are snapped in two
And words are made to bend
(The bigger, the better)
Some stolen from Japan
Collected from around the world,
They'll catch you if they can
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Do I have to catch you out
To know what's on your mind
Well, Cleopatra died for Egypt,
What a waste of time
White ones and red ones
And some you can't disguise
Twisted truth and half the news
Can't hide it in your eyes
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Oh no Oh no
You say you'll try harder
But I think it's just too late
Well, the car is revving in the drive,
And i'm not the sort to wait
(The bigger, the better)
Some nicked from old Saigon
Collected from around the world
Love lies on and an and on and on and on
And on and on and

Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
I have seen my future die
My whole past as well
That hurricane she knew my name
And tonight just feels like hell
You left me
Wanting
So much more
WHEN YOUR LOVE HAS GONE AWAY
IT'S A LONG GOODBYE
Sometimes I see you dancing there
In the fading light
But when I look again you've gone
The poppies all run wild
You left me
Wanting
So much more
WHEN YOUR LOVE HAS GONE AWAY
IT'S A LONG GOODBYE
I screamed with the wind
I howled at the rain
I even prayed
But nothing I do and nothing I say
Will bring you back again
WHEN YOUR LOVE HAS GONE AWAY
IT'S A LONG GOODBYE
A thousand questions never asked
I'm left wondering why
So many secrets never shared
Guess I'll keep them 'til I die
You left me
Wanting
So much more
WHEN YOUR LOVE HAS GONE AWAY
I know you well
And I can tell
Something's on your mind
'Cos in your dreams
The demon screams
And I know he's going to hurt you blind
(bridge)
You say you hunger for something you can't get at all
And love is not enough anymore
(chorus)
IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY
I WOULD GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO BE WITH YOU
IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
I HAD JUST ONE THING TO SAY
YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS
ALL WE NEED TO GET US THROUGH
Diamond rings
And all those things
They never sparkle like your smile
And as for fame
It's just a name
That only satisfies you for a while
If you were here, I could decieve you,
And if you were here, you would believe.
But would you suspect, my emotion wandering, yeah,
Do not want a part of this any more.
The rainwater drips through the crack in the ceiling,
And I'll have to spend what time won't repair,
Just like the rain, I'll be always falling yeah,
Only to rise and fall again.
If you were here, I could decieve you,
And if you were here, you would believe.
But would you suspect, my emotion wandering, yeah,
You told me you loved me

Oh you know i know
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Oh you know i know
I'll never give up this fusing and fighting
I made my bed with no place to lie in
Whenever I try I get stuck in trying
And I wonder if the earth is dying
Take this for what it's worth, step lightly on the earth
Take this for what it's worth, step lightly on the earth
(chorus)
Good Gosh
Oh, oh, just keep away
Good Gosh
Is this simplicity
Good Gosh
Oh, oh just keep away
Good Gosh
You said simplicity
I'll never get close keeping my distance
I'm too far away to make a difference
Whenever I try I get stuck in trying
I wonder if the earth is dying
Take this for what it's worth, step lightly on the earth
Take this for what it's worth, step lightly on the earth
(REPEAT CHORUS)
What's this?
Our vision is amiss
What's this?
Our bodies are amiss
Better spray on some of this
What happens when it gets like this?
What happens when it gets like this?
What happens when it gets like this?
I feel rain slither down
In a hot desert sky
And when I, when I touch you
I'm left wondering why, why, why
I dream
(chorus)
THERE'S NO HEAVEN ABOVE
(THERE'S NO HEAVEN)
THERE'S NO HELL DOWN BELOW
(THERE'S NO HELL DOWN BELOW)
JUST INVISIBLE MEN
IN THE EMPEROR'S CLOTHES
I see my dear clown
And she's draped in silk gowns
And we both, we both laugh
As we tumble down, down, down
You dream
(REPEAT CHORUS)
There is no time for crying
'Cos the time waltzes by
And we twirl and we touch
And we both know why, why, why
We dream
(CHORUS X 2)

Eyes are staring in another place
And I'm looking at what I see

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS COLD
AND ALL THE WORLD WAS OUT TO GET ME

Seek in vain
For you will never know the real truth

You say they've been making plans
Oh your life's not your own-it's out of your hands
You can betray your dreams
Or trade them in for a life that's easy to lead
(or you could) Gather pearls on a coral reef
Walk the wall of China
Fall in love with me
(chorus)
You better Follow Your Heart
Don't let no-one else do your livin' for you
Follow Your Heart
And to yourself and no-one else always be true
How will you be the one
If you dance to the beat of another man's drum
How will you feel the sun
Knowin' all the time it could've been love
(or you could) Sail down the Nile on a royal barge
Be a mother or a lover
You could go far
CHORUS
Do you really wanna live on dreams
Forever thinkin' what could've been
Do you really wanna play the game
Forever lookin' for someone to blame
And do you really wanna stand in line
Keepin' the faith 'til your old 'n tired
Do you really wanna live on lies
Or watch as your life just passes you by
(Or you could) Gather pearls on a coral reef
Walk the Wall of China
Fall in love with me
(chorus)
I had a dream and the dream came true
I saw a ghost and the ghost was you
But in the dark it was hard to see
That you were only make believe
Some people can't be left alone
They can't be happy on their own
Some people need to find a friend
I never knew this was in my head
I wandered to an empty playground
All I needed was a friend
Instead of playing hide and seek
I played let's pretend
Lets pretend
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Whenever I am feeling lonely
Whenever I am at an end
I draw a picture inside my head
I could see you once again
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I'm building giant towers
Day and night without relief
I don't need a team of helpers
I make do with make believe
There's a Chinese opera on the television
You paint your mouth with such precision
You're like an angel in a morphine dream
What matters to you just don't matter to me
Here is the freak; there is the genius
You make love like a sad Bohemian
Sometimes I think you're from another world
'Cos Jane, you're not like any other girl
Jane Jane, tall as a crane
You don't have to stand in the pouring rain
Jane Jane, you're so strange
Won't you come out and play with me again?
All the paper dolls with their paper hearts
Stalk these halls, afraid of the dark
But you've been living in the shadows so long
That you close your eyes when the lights come on
Jane Jane, tall as a crane
You don't have to stand in the pouring rain
Jane Jane, you're so strange
Won't you come out and play with me again?
Jane, Jane's got a mirror for a name
If she looks in the mirror then she'll never be the same
As the game, game she's been playing since she came
When she's standing in the pouring rain
Everybody here seems to have their own tribe
A hand to hold or a kite to fly
But they will never know the meaning of you
'Cos they just can't see you the way I do
Jane Jane, tall as a crane
You don't have to stand in the pouring rain
Jane Jane, you're so strange
Won't you come out and play with me again?
Jane Jane, tall as a crane
You don't have to stand in the pouring rain
Jane Jane, you're so strange
Won't you come out and play with me again?
I had a dream, a dream that would make you scream
I was climbing inside a brilliant mind
I was gathering flowers at the bottom of the ocean
And laughing to myself in real slow motion
(chorus) Lying in the gutter
Shooting up the stars
I'm driving in Salvador Dali's car
(He's driving in Salvador Dali's car)
Yeah I'm driving but I just can't get that far
I was dancing with the daughter of Harry Dean
Wearin' a pair of boots that didn't belong to me
And there were half a dozen cowgirls doing much the same
And for one sweet moment I forgot my own name
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I wanna feel it
I wanna feel it
Yeah Yeah Yeah Let's go
I was drawing up plans to save the world
From all the evil hearts and all those skinny girls
Then I realised I was wasting all my time
'Cos it was just another movie playing in my mind
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
So let's go
C'mon C'mon let's go
Is the story of the depravity of the beat generation true?
Daisy and Lily, lazy and silly
Walk by the shore of the warm, grassy sea
Talking once more neath a swan-bosomed tree
Rose castles fourelles, those bustles where swells
Each foam bell of ermine they roam and determine
What fashions have been and what fashions will be
What tartan leaves born what crinolines worn
Yeah
Queer, Queer
Queer, Queer
By green (thefis) pelisses or farlahine blue
Like the thin plaided leaves that castle crags grew
Or velours d'afrande on the water gods' land
Her hair seemed gold trees on the honey cell sand
When the thickest gold spangles on
Deep water seen were like twanging guitar
And like cold mandoline and the nymphs of great caves
With hair like gold waves of Venus wore (Farta) fine
Yeah
Queer, Queer
Queer, Queer
Wild fire passion and impossible temper
The nymph tagliongrisi the ondine wear
Plaided Victoria and thin clementine
Like the crinolined waterfalls nymphs wear beneath shawls
Elegant parasols floating are seen
The amazons wear balzarine blue
Queer, Queer
Queer, Queer
Queer, Queer
Queer, Queer
Queer, Queer

Every country needs a Queen
I heard Mary knockin' at my door
Said she was cold and could she sleep on my floor
I offered her my crown of thorns
She said no thanks mister I'm not that poor
(chorus1)
You may think it funny
You may think it strange
But she's the queen of the USA
She don't need the money
She don't need the fame
She's the queen of the USA
She wore a leather jacket that smelled of paradise
She had a tattoo of the Stars and Stripes
I know that she would die to save the world
Oh yeah that Mary was no ordinary girl
(chorus2)
You may think it funny
You may think it strange
But she's the queen of the USA
She ain't got much money
But she's got plenty to say
Yeah she's the queen of the USA
She wrapped me up in black perfume
Took me to the playground of the chosen few
She said don't ask me about the meaning of life
I can only dig it on a real dark night
(chorus3)
You may think it funny
You may think it strange
But she's the queen of the USA
She don't need your money
She don't need the fame
'Cos she's the queen of the USA
Hey the USA
She's the queen of the USA
She ain't got much money
She's got plenty to say
Ooh, you need
a helping hand
Of all the people
in the world
I hoped you'd understand
You and me
have grown so far apart
Don`t show me
faded photographs
Just tell it from the heart
(chorus)
After all that
we`ve been through
Don't you know
I feel for you?
We've got nothing in common
so much to lose
Yeah yeah yeah
You say that boys
must never cry
If we keep our
feelings to ourselves
we'll be boys until we die
(di-di-di-di-di-die)
Ooh yeah
Inside this velvet glove
there's always been
an iron fist
destroying all we love
(chorus)
Oh, now there were times
I wanted to
shake you, break you
bring you to your knees
Oh, now there were times
I wanted to
touch you, hold you
help me, help me please
(instrumental)
Woh o-woh
Such a crying shame
You know I loved you then
you know I love you now
And nothing else has changed
It comes as no surprise when I look around and find
That you have whet this appetite with such a rare delight
And now my lite fly slides like a good time rhyme
Up and down my bass line
Excuse me while I light your fire
You really blow my mind
My funky valentine
My funky valentine
Oh, those lips could sink a thousand ships
Lick those lips and take a hippy, hippy, hippy trip
To Mars or Venus or some astral plane
Where we can be alone or not too out of place
Excuse me while I light your fire
You really blow my mind
My funky valentine
My funky valentine
P. P. Reubens was a groover; he would have liked your style
You know exactly how to make the big boys cry
Curvaceous, avaricious, lush and malicious
I just can't think of anyone who's more seditious
Excuse me while I light your fire
You really blow my mind
My funky valentine
My funky valentine
My funky valentine
My funky valentine
My funky valentine
My funky valentine
I hear you laughing in some other room
And it makes me feel locked out
You say my passion often stifles you
And you need to move about
But i was taught that boys need girls and girls need boys
You say that's not true
You'd rather fool around than be alone with me
Well, that's alright for you
(chorus)
Cos you got love, love, love on your side
Cos you got love, love, love on your side
Cos you got love, love, love on your side
Cos you got love, love, love on your side
I've bought you sentimental roses
But you gave them all away
I've played you all my favorite records
Then we spent the night in talking, talking all the time...
You sent me home
I was so surprised to find that after all
It doesn't hurt to be alone
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Well all the things you say make perfect sense to me
Somehow i'm still unsure
Then i catch myself going through the same old rhapsody
RAP BOY RAP!
And i don't understand just what i'm doing to myself
I guess that's nothing new
Cos when you meet someone who doesn't follow all the rules
It changes everything you do
This old life seemed much too long
Little point in going on
I couldn't think of what to say
Words just vanished in the haze
I was feeling cold and tired
Yeah, kinda sad and uninspired
When it almost seemed too much
I see your face and sense the grace
And feel the magic in your touch
Oh, lay your hands
Lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands, ooh
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Back and forth across the sea
I have chased so many dreams
I have never felt the grace
That I have felt in your embrace
Oh, I was tired and I was cold
Yeah, with a hunger in my soul
When it almost seemed too much
I see your face and sense the grace
And feel the magic of your touch
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands, ooh
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me, oh
Now, you made me feel so good
Yeah, like I never ever thought I would
You know you make me feel so strong
And now our laughter just goes on and on
So c'mon lay your hands on me
'Cause close to you is where I really wanna be
And if it ever gets too much
I see your face and sense the grace
And feel the magic in our touch
Oh, lay your hands
Lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands, ooh
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, oh, lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands
Lay your hands on me
Oh lay your hands, ooh
Oh, lay your hands
I wanna lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Oh lay your hands on me, ooh
Yeah, wild nights, long hot days
Love affairs begin this way
And all the girls dance real slow
Lipstick kisses, dirty dreams
Heartbeats faster than a drum machine
Will he be the one to take you home?
I'm floating up into the sky
And everything will be just fine
Here comes that flower girl
With her ice cream eyes and faraway smile
Here comes that flower girl of mine
See-thru heart shines in the dark
Forget me not, I hear you laugh
On days like this I'd die for you
Love comes easy; love comes fast
I get so scared that it won't last
What am I supposed to do?
I'm floating up into the sky
And everything will be just fine
Here comes that flower girl
With her ice cream eyes and faraway smile
Here comes that flower girl of mine
Float up high and float away
Listen to what the flowers say
Float up high and float away
Come again some other day
Passion comes and passion goes
Fades just like a paper rose
All is nothing; nothing's new
From Istanbul to Sugar Hill
Everybody wants the thrill
But all I ever want is you
I'm floating up into the sky
And everyone is floating by
Here comes that flower girl
With her ice cream eyes and faraway smile
Here comes that flower girl of mine
Here comes that flower girl
With her ice cream eyes and faraway smile
(chorus)
Please don't go
Please don't go
You go, You go
I stay
You do, You do
I say
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Your intensions are so pure
Make me want to dance
But I feel so insecure
Can't get out of the trance I'm in
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You act, You act
I play
You will, You will
I may
Please don't go
No, no, no, please don't go
Go to the mountain in time for a vision
Go to the mountain for a fatal vision
stand in the circle on a rock for hours and days on end
(chorus)
Shaman's away forever they say
Shaman, shaman
Shaman's away forever they say
Shaman, shaman
Act like a crazy dog wear ??? and sashes
wait to they've gone to bed
crazy, crazy, crazy dog song
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Shaman's away forever they say
Shaman, shaman
Shaman, shaman
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
Shaman, shaman
so strong
Act like a crazy dog
Hands on shoulders walking round and round
Hills and trees and lakes are made of sound
Seeing every detail with our ears
It's very, very, very dark in here
(chorus)
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
I know you sometimes wonder what ??? ??? *
To have to feel your way with hands and feet
I hope you really wonder what's at stake *
To touch and feel the ones you want to meet
(REPEAT CHORUS)
If only someone would come and take us away
If only someone would come and show us the way
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Hands on shoulders walking round and round
Hills and trees and lakes are made of sound
Seeing every detail with our ears
It's very, very, very dark in here
(chorus)
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
Blind lead the blind
Down, down, down, down, down, oh yeah
Blind lead the blind

Rock a bye baby
You're the sweetest child
And when the wind blows
I will hold you tight
How can I talk to you about the shape of love
(chorus1)
You better watch out
There's bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your wife goodbye
'Cos you know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Ring a ring a roses
Floating on the sea
Sing your song for sixpence
But don't ask me to believe
No don't talk to me about the shape of love
(chorus2)
You better watch out
'Cos there's bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your child goodbye
You know it's time to die
There are bombers in the sky
Dirty politicians
with Coca-Cola smiles
Tiny little babies
Are weaned on their lies
So don't talk to me about the shape of love
(chorus3)
You better watch out
There are bombers in the sky
Bombers in the sky
You better run for your life
Kiss your babe goodbye
'Cos now you know it's time to die
Somebody's watching me
And now i'm nervous and i shouldn't be
Somebody's got their eye on me
Perhaps i should invite him up for tea?
We saw him smoking by the newspaper stand
There's something odd about his gloved left hand
Saw him again inside the old cafe
He makes us tense we wish he'd go away
(chorus)
We are detective
We are select
We are detective
Come to collect
Somebody's after me
He left his footprints by the garden tree
Last night when i got home
I got the feeling i was not alone!
Someone is on our tail
We think they're opening up our morning mail
And now each time the telephone rings
We think of frightening things
(REPEAT CHORUS)
We dress up in disguise
To get away from all those prying eyes
Our friends all think we're mad
But we know better cos the spy is bad
Well I was born ten years after the atom bomb
Yeah things were getting strange way before I came along
So I became a master of high technology
And then you came along and did what you ya did to me
(chorus)
Heavens above-COULD THIS BE LOVE
We're livin' in the 20th Century
I pit my wits against those silicon chips
BUT I STILL GOT THE ANIMAL INSIDE O ME
I get a strange sensation that's out of control
Close to the bone and playin' havoc with my soul
All the red lights are flashing and I can smell fire
With a flick of the switch you know we can go
even higher and higher and higher
CHORUS
Well I had cool calculators, regulators and
digital machines
Yeah they took me to places I'd never been
Oh but nothing's as good as the feeling I get with you
When ya do, what ya do, what ya do, what ya do do do
CHORUS
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
The 20th Century
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
I work on the frontline
I work to survive
And I sleep in a fever - so this is my life.
I cry in my sleep - cry boy
cry boy
It just makes me weep
when I try how I try.
I know what it means to work hard on machines.
It's a labour of love
so please
don't ask me why.
I'm looking for reasons - day in
day out.
I'm trying too hard - he's trying too hard.
I'm moving in circles - too hot
too hot.
Don't get very far - don't get very far.
Should I ask she to dance - dance boy
dance boy.
If I promise romance
will you come for the ride.
I know what it means
to work hard on machines.
Do you believe in love one that lasts for all time.
You take me up
oh ho
you take me up to the higher ground.
You take me up so high
now I never want to come back down
I'm glad in these hard times - day in
day out.
There's hope in your eyes - hope in his eyes.
I don't need a religion - too hot
too hot.
'Cause this love never dies - love never dies.
I believe in today - believe boy
believe boy.
It's better that way and you work through the night.
I know what it means
to work hard on machines.
It's a labour of love
so please
don't ask me why.
You take me up
oh ho
you take me up to the higher ground. . .
I cry in my sleep - cry boy
cry boy. . . .
You take me up
oh ho
you take me up to the higher ground. . .
Here comes the queen bee in her little mini dress
Shouting to the boys that she couldn't care less
Let them eat cake; let them all cry
Serves them right; they ought to do or die
They ought to do or die they ought to do or die
You say that love makes the world go 'round
Better wind it up, 'cos it's running down
(Wind it up,) and turn it around
(Wind it up,) yeah, to a higher ground
(Wind it up,) so it never comes down
(Wind it up)
Here comes the preacher on a mission from God
You spoil the child if you spare the rod
A tooth for a tooth, and eye for an eye
When you look again you know we've all gone blind
You know we've all gone blind Ooo all blind
You say that love makes the world go 'round
Better wind it up, 'cos it's running down
(Wind it up,) and turn it around
(Wind it up,) yeah, to a higher ground
(Wind it up,) so it never comes down
(Wind it)
Here comes you and here comes me
Forty-nine hearts pinned to our sleeves
Gonna make a move, gonna turn it around, yeah
And wind it so far up that it never comes down
No, it never comes down
No, it never comes down
You say that love makes the world go 'round
Better wind it up, 'cos it's running down
(Wind it up,) and turn it around
(Wind it up,) yeah, to a higher ground
(Wind it up,) so it never comes down
(Wind it up)
YA YA
(Wind it up,) Ooo turn it around
(Wind it up,) yeah, to a higher ground
(Wind it up,) so it never never comes down
(Wind it up)
Never comes down
No never comes down
No never comes down
No never comes down
I was dancing in heaven, you were keeping time
Then I read your letter, sent shivers down my spine
Said our love was over and I was not the one
If it lasts forever, forever wouldn't be much fun
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me?
I could hear the sound of laughter, I thought that love was in the air
I was drowning in that golden age, you really seemed to care
I'm haunted by a dream of giant human beings
I wait alone for hours, love is never what it seems
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh, oh oh
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh, oh oh
You always had fantastic plans that I always knew
And now you want to leave me out, so it's raining just for you
Those changes that you wanted make you ten feet tall
I tried to move those mountains but mountains never move at all
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh, oh oh
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh, oh oh
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh, oh oh
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
(Scarecrow)
6 in tha mornin' police kick in my door
Slipped on my lugz
Cuz these thugs out the back yo
Jumped the back gate
Cranked the Chevy
Then I race
Popped in the tape
A motherfuckin' Three 6 Mafia tape
I'm crunked off the bump
Pumpin' through my backseat
Speedin' hit the weed
Though the end of the streets of Memphis Tennesee
Got my stacks and some bags sittin' in the stash spot
Tatooes on my legs and a hot 40 glock
They got the hard on for the Infamous nigga
Call me Scarecrow
Used slangin' man, but I don't do that no more
I'm feelin' like I'm the most wanted
Every cop is an opponent
In the dash
On my ass, on the cherry buck flash
And I'm real
Man I got to get the fuck out of here
I had to ditch the Chevy
Callin' my mafia niggas to scooped me up
The blocks are crawlin' with cops
I can't go down, them slugs bust
I'm runnin' through yards and shit
Tryin' to dodge them tricks
I'm a movin' target
I spotted my nigga out there
On the real, gonna rde with out no fly shit
He didn't hesistate, we climbed up out my side of town
I told him bout' the drama in the ride and how it went down
I got a lay low cool (??) before I get back in it
Anti-peace and po-police
I beat them with glocks back to the street
I had an icon that glowed in the dark
With psychotropic eyes and a plastic heart
I had a guru, one vision, one dream
I saw the ides of March and they were looking back at me
Give me unto love
Give me unto truth
Give me unto love
I'm praying to the saint
I'm praying to the saint
I'm praying to the saint
The saint of the sonic groove
I have prayed to the invisible man
Hoping for a stake in the promised land
I kissed the feet of blessed Mary Magdalene
Wishing all the time that she would set me free
Give me unto love
Give me unto truth
Give me unto love
I'm praying to the saint
I'm praying to the saint
I'm praying to the saint
The saint of the sonic groove
I have flown on the cosmic pale
I found the sound that was my holy grail
I rode the beat; I rode the drone
'Cos I'am your pilgrim and I'm coming home
Give me unto love
Give me unto truth
Give me unto love
I'm praying to the saint
I'm praying to the saint
I'm praying to the saint
The saint of the sonic groove
Give me unto love
Give me unto truth
Give me unto love
I'm praying to the saint
I'm praying to the saint
I'm praying to the saint
The saint of the sonic groove
Do you know the meaning of life?
Can you go beyond the current state of mind?
Fashions, passions, whims of time
Can you catch the invisible man?
Poets haven't got a clue
Dharma bums just beat their drums
And Zen men say there's just one way
In the center of nothing you will surely feel the thrill
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Invisible Man
Well you're all grown up and lookin good

Been practicing the art of treachery
Little girls learn this at their mother's knee
Sugar Daddy gonna me you happy
Sugar Daddy gonna make it nice
Sugar Daddy gonna give you candy
But you're gonna pay Sugar Daddy's price

Don't ever think that you can run to me
Sugar Daddy gonna me you happy

But you're gonna pay Sugar Daddy's price

FADE
Yeah yeah yeah
This party is over, and we, we are alone
and I feel so helpless, there's nowhere to go, but
(chorus)
To storm on the sea
No stranger to me
Light on the shore
So let the wind blow
Carry me home
Lead me to your door
The room is so quiet
Hush, don't you cry
Daybreak is dawning cold in the sky
So don't tell me your name
I can't stay here
Can't a cruel light of morning drive me away
(REPEAT CHORUS)
She lives in a big white house
The rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life
of keeping this house just right, ooh, ooh
The weekends are perfectly nice ooh, ooh
And she doesn't talk when he comes home at night
Twenty five years she's just the same
She's a lonely woman, quiet in her ways
Then he comes home one night
She kills him with a knife
Now she's the one who's a living in paradise
(chorus)
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me
Now she sits in a big white chair
In a room that's not so different to the one back there
She turns her face to the light
But she is blinded by her life
You can hear her cry alone at night
(REPEAT CHORUS)
So have mercy on that woman you don't know the way it's been
You don't know the trouble her eyes have seen
Can you feel the kiss of life when you come home at night?
Well, you better not turn your back on a paradise
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
Sister of mercy oh, oh
Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
Sister of mercy oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The man from Japan says it's all a karma thrill
Before you can fly, you've gotta feel the chill
So if you dance all the way from the cradle to the grave
Well, you have to do it all again until your soul is saved
Where do I go from here?
There's gotta be a hole in the sky somewhere
I don't wanna come back 'round
I'm tired of being earthbound
Shake it down
You gotta make time to shake it
Shake it down
If at no time you're gonna make it
Shake it down
If you can't make it, fake it
Shake it down
All right
Shake it down
Do dada do
Philosophy will grow on trees if you just leave it alone
And love will often multiply 'cos you make more than you know
Where do I go from here?
There's gotta be a hole in the sky somewhere
I don't wanna come back 'round
I'm tired of being earthbound
Shake it down
You gotta make time to shake it
Shake it down
If at no time you're gonna make it
Shake it down
If you can't make it, fake it
Shake it down
All right
Shake it down
Hey, a soul can't be bought, nor can a soul be sold
'Cos it is just what it is, like a rose is just a rose
And if you dance all the way from the cradle to the grave
Well, you'll have to do it all again until your soul is saved
Where do I go from here?
There's gotta be a hole in the sky somewhere
I don't wanna come back 'round
I'm tired of being earthbound
(Shake it down)
You gotta make time to shake it
(Shake it down)
If at no time you're gonna make it
(Shake it down)
(If you can't make it,0 fake it
(Shake it down)
All right
Shake it down
O you gotta make time to shake it
Shake it down
If at no time you're gonna make it
Shake it down
If you can't make it, fake it
Shake it down
All right
Shake it down
All (Do dada do)
Shake it down
Do dada do
Shake it down
Do dada do
Shake it down
The pressure is on - the wolf is at the door
All the ghosts that haunt my life are screaming out for more
I try to fight them
But I just can't win
I'm always on the outsied
Always tryin' to get in
Tell me again of what love can bring oh-oh
(chorus)
I was touched by a savage moon
I was kissed by a burning sky
I can run away but there's nowhere to hide
I'll be running 'til the day I die
Well there's a civil war that's raging
Raging in my soul
C'mon hold me close
Save me from the cold
If you take a chance
I'll take one too
It won't be that hard
When we've got nothing to lose
Weave me a tale where love is true
CHORUS
If I could believe in fairytales
A life of happy endings that would never ever fail
Tell me a story where love is true
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world.
You tell me that it's evolution,
Well, you know
We all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
Don't you know that you can count me out.
(chorus)
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
Well, alright
Everybody...Revolution!
Alright! (x 9)
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan.
You ask me for a contribution,
Well, you know
We're doing what we can.
But if you want money for people with minds that hate,
All I can tell you brother you have to wait.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You say you'll change a constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head.
You tell me it's the institution,
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead.
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow.
Sophisticated slave trade rhythmically admired
Give me a punctual bliss
He's in love with a velvet glove
Soon he'll feel the fist
His senses are reeling
He can't sit still
He's got that same old feeling
The same old thrill
The same old thrill
Goose flesh, giggling, stimulating scenes
Pleasure is a means to the end
Hedonistic high time
He can't get enough
Physical encounters can offend
Drinking like a fish out of water high and dry
When there's no tomorrow he doesn't even try
Don't take a walk, when it's easier to run
Don't take it easy
No don't take it
Don't you touch the flesh, the fragile flesh
He's never going to get near the heart
He can prodel, he can poke but it won't get him closer
He's only playing a part
Across the threshold he feels his nostrils flare
The stifling perfume is so thick in there
Don't take a walk, when it's easier to run
Don't take it easy, no don't take it
Don't take it easy, Don't take it easy
Don't take it, Don't take it
Don't take it, Don't take it
Don't take it, Don't take it
Don't take it, Don't take it
Sophisticated slave trade rhythmically admired
Give me a punctual bliss
He's in love with a velvet glove
Soon he'll feel the fist
His senses are reeling
He can't sit still
There's a warm wind blowing off the sea
The sky is clear and blue
The desert glows in shades of gold
A postcard just for you
The general's on the radio
To say the war is won
But for 9 thousand people left behind
The battle's just begun
If this is a dream WHY WON'T YOU WAKE THEM
If you know the answer WON'T YOU SAY
WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE CRYING
ON THIS PERFECT DAY
OoooOo
A woman sits alone upon the ruins of her home
She has no-one left to love
No-one to call her own
If this is a dream WHY WON'T YOU WAKE THEM
If you know the answer WON'T YOU SAY
WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE CRYING
ON THIS PERFECT DAY
ON THE PERFECT DAY
OH PERFECT DAY
A young man finds a broken toy
He made for his small son
Its the only thing remaining of the
Life he knew and loved
If this is a dream why won't you wake him
If you know the answer won't you say
WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE CRYING
OH SO MANY PEOPLE LYING
OH SO MANY PEOPLE DYING
ON THIS PERFECT DAY
OoooOo
Are You Still Crying PERFECT DAY
Are You Still Lying PERFECT DAY
Will You Be Dieing PERFECT DAY
Are you Still Crying PERFECT DAY
Are You Still Crying PERFECT DAY
Are You Still Lying PERFECT DAY
Will You Be Dieing PERFECT DAY
She lives in a big white house
The rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life
Of keeping this house just right, ooh, ooh
The weekends are perfectly nice ooh, ooh
And she doesn't talk when he comes home at night
Twenty five years she's just the same
She's a lonely woman, quiet in her ways
Then he comes home one night
She kills him with a knife
Now she's the one who's a living in paradise
(chorus)
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me
Now she sits in a big white chair
In a room that's not so different to the one back there
She turns her face to the light
But she is blinded by her life
You can hear her cry alone at night
(REPEAT CHORUS)
So have mercy on that woman you don't know the way it's been
You don't know the trouble her eyes have seen
Can you feel the kiss of life when you come home at night?
Well, you better not turn your back on a paradise
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
Sister of mercy oh, oh
Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
Sister of mercy oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hear you laughing in some other room
and it makes me feel locked out.
You say my passion often stifles you and you need to move about.
Well
I was told that boys need girls and girls need boys
You say that's not true.
You would rather fool around than to be alone with me
Well that's alright for you.
'cause you've got love
love
love on your side
you've got love
love
love on your side
you've got love
love
love on your side
you've got love. love. love on your side.
I brought you sentimental roses
but you gave them all away.
I played you all my favourite records
Then we spent the night in talking
talking all the time
You sent me home.
I was so surprised to find that after all it doesn't hurt to be alone.
'cause you've got love
love
love on your side
. . .
Well
all the things you say make perfect sense to me
But somehow I'm still unsure
But I catch myself going through the same old rhapsody
rap boy rap!
Well
I don't understand just what I'm doing to myself
I guess that's nothing new.
'cause when you meet someone who doesn't follow all the rules
It changes ev'rything you do.
'cause you've got love
love
love on your side
. . .
you've got love
love
love on your side
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world.
You tell me that it's evolution,
Well, you know
We all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
Don't you know that you can count me out.
(chorus)
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
Don't you know it's going to be alright,
Well, alright
Everybody...Revolution!
Alright! (x 9)
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan.
You ask me for a contribution,
Well, you know
We're doing what we can.
But if you want money for people with minds that hate,
All I can tell you brother you have to wait.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You say you'll change a constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head.
You tell me it's the institution,
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead.
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow.
I know you well
And I can tell
Something's on your mind
'Cos in your dreams
The demon screams
And I know he's gonna hurt you blind
You say you hunger for something you can't name at all
And love is not enough anymore
If I was king for just one day
I would give it all away
I would give it all away to be with you
If I was king for just one day
I have just one thing to say
You know that love is
all we need to get us trough
Dimond rings
And all those things
Tey never sparkle like your smile
And as for fame
It's just a name
that only satisfies you for a while
You say you hunger.....
If I was king for just one day.....
I've heard it said
Or maybe read
Only money makes the world go round
But all the gold
Won't heal your soul
If your world shold tumble to the ground
You say you hunger....
Leaving alone..flying above you...
(chorus)
La-la-la, la, la-la
La-la-la, la, la-la
La-la-la, la, la-la
La-la-la, la, la-la
Goodbye to my friends
My home and my family
I'm not coming home
You know that i'll miss you...
(REPEAT CHORUS)
The rays of the sun
The sea of the sky
Frozen in time
You're askin me why...
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Feeling alone
Flying above you
I'm not coming home
Hey you
I've seen your face before
It's you in the picture which hangs on my bedroom wall
Is it true?
All of those things that they say about you
So tell me, tell me, tell me what am I supposed to do?
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
Well, it's fun to think that I'm having the time of my life
And it's true if all this around us is paradise
But now I want to be left here with nothing at all
Even the picture has fallen away from the bedroom wall
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
In the name of

In the name of love
In the name of love, yeah
When you're all wired up 'cos it's Saturday night
And nowhere to go; your little fish don't bite
When all you see when you look around
Is a ship of fools and a dirty old town
When the ice cream man licks his lips
And says "I want you" with a clockwise twist
You better groove on (groove on)
When your cosmic mind has lost its way
And you can't even rain on your own parade
You better groove on
Everybody
When the High Street pirates pull their guns
And say "What's it gonna be--money or love?"
When you look in the mirror and no one's there
No one to save you and the cupboard is bare
When Strawberry Fields don't last forever
Kiss the sky and never say never
Better groove on (groove on)
When love kicks in with a vicious grin
All or nothing, sink or swim
You better groove on
Groove on, Groove on
Groove on
Groove on, Groove on
Groove on
When your dog comes on on the television
And says "You don't know just what you've been missing"
When you take that trip and the sky falls in
And you're upside down, but you're still looking in
When the sun comes out and your hopes are high
And Lucy's back in the diamond sky
You better groove on (groove on)
Well, if you're feeling fine, well, I don't mind
That's what I came all this way to find
Groove on, Groove on
Groove on
Groove on, Groove on
Groove on
Groove on, Groove on
Groove on
Groove on, Groove on
Groove on
Groove on, Groove on
Groove on
In the name of...
In the name of...
In the name of...
Hey you,
I've seen your face before
It's you in the picture which hangs on my bedroom wall
Is it true? All of those things that they say about you
So tell me, tell me, tell me what am I supposed to do
(chorus)
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
Well it's fun to think that I'm having the time of my life
And it's true if all this around us is paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
But now I want to be left here with nothing at all
Even the picture has fallen away from the bedroom wall
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
In the name of...
In the name of...
In the name of...
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
In the name of love
Well ya thought you were one of the chosen few
Ya tried to change the world but the world changed you
Oh yeah, you've gotten old but you didn't get wise
And now you can't see further than those dollar signs
(chorus)
You got GOLD FEVER its makin' you blind
You got GOLD FEVER sell your brothers down the line
Ooh yeah they're down there workin' their fingers
to the bone
But you couldn't care much less, you just
keep counting out your gold
So you think you got the Midas touch
But let me tell ya mister you ain't worth that much
CHORUS
Well ya tell me just how you sleep at night
When ya know what ya doin' just ain't right
Ooh yeah bad money breeds bad men
Now it bothers me to think I used to call you a friend
I gave up on lovin' a long long time ago
Ooh yeah I had myself believing I'd rather be on my own
If you're pickin' and choosin'
Yeah playin' it cool
Well ya wind up loosin'
I'M NOW FOOL
I WON'T GIVE UP ON LOVING
NO I WON'T GIVE UP ON LOVE
GET THAT LOVE-I won't let that love escape me once again
I'm Gonna GET THAT LOVE and make it mine
You know that hearts and flowers
Never meant that much to me
But telling lies, lies, lies to myself
Will never set me free
If you're pickin' and choosin'
Yeah playin' it cool
Well ya wind up loosin'
I'M NOW FOOL
I WON'T GIVE UP ON LOVING
NO I WON'T GIVE UP ON LOVE
GET THAT LOVE-I won't let that love escape me once again
I'm Gonna GET THAT LOVE and make it mine
You know you can build any fortress, any that you choose
Then later discover the prisoner, the prisoner is you
If you're pickin' and choosin'
Yeah playin' it cool
Well ya wind up loosin'
I'M NOW FOOL
I WON'T GIVE UP ON LOVING
NO I WON'T GIVE UP ON LOVE
GET THAT LOVE-I won't let that love escape me once again
I'm seeing your face for the very first time
Seems so familiar to me
I'm hearing your voice waiting so long
It's like waking up from a dream
Flesh, blood
Dance with gods above
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
What shall I call you?
I'll call you love
I moved the heavens; I moved the earth
I made war with angels for all I was worth
I counted the ways; I counted the hours
I made love to demons; I was the power of
Flesh, blood
Dance with gods above
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
What shall I call you?
I'll call you love
If all of my days and all of my nights
Just came to nothing there would still be a light
For I am of you and you are of me
Until the time that we are free of
Flesh, blood
Dance with gods above
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
What shall I call you?
I'll call you love
I'll call you love
(chorus)
HERE'S TO FUTURE DAYS (OH FUTURE DAYS)
HERE'S TO FUTURE DAYS (OH OH)
(REPEAT CHORUS X 3)
I'm sick and tired of repeating history
Of waving flags that don't mean much to me
Black versus white, women versus men
The power of the dollar and the price of yen
I'm sick and tired of payaing for the sins
Of fathers and the mothers and the pushers and the shovers
But most of all the Lord about us
Who made this stupid mess we're in
(REPEAT CHORUS)
We have a vision of a better time
Where we all live in grace and pride
And everyone will have their say
And know they're part of the future way
We have a dream of heaven on earth
Where we all work together and know our worth
Where joy and laughter and love and affection
Will keep us movin' in the right direction
Don't mess with Dr. Dream - don't mess with Dr. Dream -
Come lay your head down on the stone
so cool and white and welcome home.
lose your troubles
ease your pain
soothe your soul in golden rain.
Blue marble seas - I will make you feel so good - roll over me.
Blue marble dreams - I like you always knew you would roll over me.
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
he's not one for sympathy.
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
he will bring you to your knees.
In the hours before the dawn you curse the day that you were born.
Those demons scream in ecstasy and you crawl around in agony.
Doctor jeers and fades away
yeah
this is the price that you must pay.
Blue marble seas - I will make you feel so good - roll over me.
Blue marble dreams - I like you always knew you would roll over me.
Don't take that
take this - take this !
He's not one for sympathy
he will bring you to your knees.
lose your troubles
ease your pain
this is the price you must pay.
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
he's not one for sympathy.
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
he will bring you to your knees.
Don't take that
I saw you there
just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming
yeah.
I kissed you then
then once again
You said you would come and dance with me.
Bance with me across the sea
And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams.
Doctor
doctor
can't you see
I'm burning burning;
doctor
doctor
Is this love I'm feeling ?
Ships at night
Give such delight
We all leave
Before the morning light.
Please don't go
please don't go
'cause I don't want to stay here on my own.
doctor
doctor
can't you see I'm burning
burning;
doctor
doctor
can't you see I'm burning
burning; ...
Fever breathe your love on me
take away my name.
Fever lay your hands on me
never be the same.
doctor
doctor
can't you see I'm burning
burning; . . .
doctor
doctor
can't you see I'm burning
burning; . . .
I'm always treading on dangerous ground
And everything seems to be upside down
Are you practicing for judgement day?
Or do you really mean those things you say?
(chorus)
Day after day, night after night
There's a panic in this heart of mine
Day after day, night after night
I'm looking for something that's just too hard to find
I'm not the man you wanted me to be
He's kept alive inside your fantasy
But now the magic me is fading fast
Let me remind you of the face behind the mask
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Can't you see there's just no promised land, doesn't happen that way
I hope you'll try and understand there's nothing I can do or say
Your life is a circus
And your mind is just a mess
But you've come too far now
To wind up being second best
So you put on your hi-heels
And you strut to the edge
And say if you want me
You'll have to take me dead
(chorus)
WHO KNOWS WHAT I'D DO if I was dancin' in your shoes
WHO KNOWS WHAT I'D IF IT WAS ME
INSTEAD OF YOU-IF I WAS REALLY
DANCIN' IN THOSE SHOES
And all the chorus girls
They're so quick to lay the blame
They scream HA HA HA HA!
We always knew he was insane
CHORUS
Well the first to leave was sympathy
And she wasn't even cryin'
And when I looked into her eyes
I saw your face instead of mine
(chorus)
There's a big hole in the ground
There's a big fight all around,
There's a big hole in the ground,
For the fools gold
And everything is precious, and everything is clear
I don't want to have you just to hold you near
Maybe we will realize when we grow old
That life is worth much more than any gold
(REPEAT CHORUS)
And I have seen these people
I have seen their grief
They have a big desire to feed
But sometimes I see them, these lovers of gold
I'd like to throw them in and bury them in that hole
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I just hope we realize when we grow old
That life is worth much more than any gold
Just big fight,
In a big hole,
I can't find my way out of this place
I'm crawling on the floor
If the party's over, why won't you tell me?
I don't see you dancing any more
Well when all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So close your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open won't ya come inside
Well can you hear the wind? It's telling lies
It happens all the time
Can you see the faces, seraphim eyes
They make me want to cry
Well when all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So close your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open won't ya come inside
Come inside, come inside
Well, I could dive in deep or float on by
It doesn't matter to me, no
'Cos one way or another
I'm gonna get myself right out of this dream
Well when all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So close your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open won't ya come inside
When all the doors are open wide
I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine
So cover your eyes; kiss the sky
The door is open, so come inside
Bushbaby-she's the one I want
she's got a natural sense of right and wrong
Bushbaby-she's the one I need
one minute she's here and the next she's gone
(chorus)
AND I KNOW-BUSHBABY-WHAT I WANT-BUSHBABY-I CAN NEVER HAVE
Bushbaby-With her ruby eyes
she can cut to the core of my disguise
Bushbaby-With her telegraph skin
she can read my mind and I can't win
CHORUS
And when a little voice inside my head screams
If I can't have you I'd be better off dead
Bushbaby-With her animal smell
she can take me to heaven or the edge of hell
Bushbaby-With her magic dance
she can send me wild with just one glance
I'm always treading on dangerous ground
And everything seems to be upside down
Are you practicing for judgement day?
Or do you really mean those things you say?
(chorus)
Day after day, night after night
There's a panic in this heart of mine
Day after day, night after night
I'm looking for something that's just too hard to find
I'm not the man you wanted me to be
He's kept alive inside your fantasy
But now the magic me is fading fast
Let me remind you of the face behind the mask
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Can't you see there's just no promised land, doesn't happen that way
I hope you'll try and understand there's nothing I can do or say
Draped in silk gown
She danced around
She filled this place with her smile
She was the queen
Of an Amazon dream
She made us feel for a while
Was it from spite
Or just sheer delight
You stooped so low
I wanna know
Why you killed the clown
(Yeah) You shot her down
I watch you try
Try to make that girl cry
So you could be king for just one day
And you said that her smile
Was no more than a lie
Just because she had something, something to say
Was it from spite
Or just sheer delight
You stooped so low
I wanna know
Why you killed the clown
(Yeah) You shot her down
Yeah, you, you killed the clown
You laughed as she drowned
And it was the only time I ever saw you smile
Oh Precious and few
Were the clowns we all knew
Yeah they made us feel for a while
Was it from spite
Or just sheer delight
You stooped so low
I wanna know
Why you killed the clown
(Yeah) You shot her down
Sophisticated slave trade rhythmically admired
Give me a punctual bliss
He's in love with a velvet glove
Soon he'll feel the fist
His senses are reeling
He can't sit still
He's got that same old feeling
The same old thrill
The same old thrill
Goose flesh, giggling, stimulating scenes
Pleasure is a means to the end
Hedonistic high time
He can't get enough
Physical encounters can offend
Drinking like a fish out of water high and dry
When there's no tomorrow he doesn't even try
Don't take a walk, when it's easier to run
Don't take it easy
No don't take it
Don't you touch the flesh, the fragile flesh
He's never going to get near the heart
He can prodel, he can poke but it won't get him closer
He's only playing a part
Across the threshold he feels his nostrils flare
The stifling perfume is so thick in there
Don't take a walk, when it's easier to run
Don't take it easy, no don't take it
Don't take it easy, Don't take it easy
Don't take it, Don't take it
Don't take it, Don't take it
Don't take it, Don't take it
Don't take it, Don't take it
Sophisticated slave trade rhythmically admired
Give me a punctual bliss
He's in love with a velvet glove
Soon he'll feel the fist
His senses are reeling
He can't sit still
I have these secrets I keep to myself
But they escape and they run wild
Revenge is sweet or so I've been told
It just leaves a bitter taste behind
Yeah the roof is leaking, I don't give a damn
Yeah it's raining on my head
You took this sacred heart and sewed it to your sleeve
Then you left me for dead
See those yellow flowers nodding like fools
I want to destroy them, they remind me of you
I loved you madly
You went away
What a dirty trick to play
I may have loved you badly
That's what you say
Oh dirty summer's day oh
Day oh
Day oh
I found your stilettoes in my room yesterday
They were glowing in the dark
I was smiling as I threw them from the 42nd floor
Yeah this time you've gone too far
See those pretty stars in the heavens so blue
I want to destroy them, they remind me of you
I loved you madly
You went away
What a dirty trick to play
I may have loved you badly
That's what you say
Oh dirty summer's day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Day oh
I was dreaming last night of stealing a gun
And shooting holes right through the sky
I was screaming and the were cowboys and showgirls on fire
And I thought it was my time to die
See those yellow flowers nodding like fools
I want to destroy them, they remind me of you
I loved you madly
You went away
What a dirty trick to play
I may have loved you badly
That's what you say
Oh dirty summer's day oh
I loved you madly
You went away
What a dirty trick to play
I may have loved you badly
That's what you say
Oh dirty summer's day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Day oh
Come into my room
Come into my Shrine
I got 40 televisions
All going at the same time
We don't need to go to clubs or parties anymore
We just lie right here on the floor
Television
Oh television
Let's do it with the T.V. on
With the T.V. on
We can stay awake in steamy glitter dreams
Flick a switch a change in every scene
Don't ya love it when we lose control
Just you and me... Mmm electric soul
Television
Oh television
Let's do it with the T.V. on
With the T.V. on
The transmission is coming through so clear tonight
The satellites they must know the meaning of life
Some people go to London
Some people go too far
We don't have to move
It's the state of art
See the way they watch us
See the way they kiss
We can speak in tongues
We don't have to move our lips
Television
Oh television
Let's do it with the T.V. on
With the T.V. on
Television
God's on the T.V. disguised as a candyman
Could be the other way 'round, I really don't understand
He says it's a sin to ever lose control
But if I send him all my money he'll save my soul
A little voodoo
Oh yeah a little voodoo
You can rant, I can rave, you can misbehave
And scream like a queen in some old love scene
Move aside, let me breathe
You know that I could never climb your family tree
Without some voodoo
Oh yeah I need a little voodoo
Let's get wild
Wilder than a voodoo child
Let's get wild wild wild wild wild hey
Let's get wild
Is that a halo I see on your head
Will you still wear it when you're in your bed
Come walk the walls on your hands and knees
Never say never and never say please
Without some voodoo
Oh yeah I need some voodoo
Let's get wild
Wilder than a voodoo child
Let's get wild wild wild wild wild hey
Let's get wild
Let's get wild
Wilder than a voodoo child
Let's get wild wild wild wild wild hey
Let's get wild
You know I heard that heaven isn't fun anymore
Clowns keep on sneaking in through the back door
Hell has no fury like a lover who's bored
Hell has no fury at all no no
Without some voodoo (voodoo)
Oh yeah a little voodoo (voodoo)
I just need a little voodoo (voodoo)
Yes I do
I want some voodoo you
Let's get wild
Wilder than a voodoo child
Let's get wild wild wild wild wild hey
Let's get wild
Let's get wild
Wilder than a voodoo child
Let's get
Let's get wild
I need a little voodoo, voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
I need a little voodoo, voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
I need a little voodoo, voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
We work all day to pay the rent
At night we watch T.V.
We don't dance, we forgot the rhythm
But we aim to please
We choose our smiles from large collections
They're the ones that don't offend
We dress like men, men of true distinction
Then we do it again
These are the ways of the modern world
You're such a modern girl
Take me back to the love jungle
Where all the flowers are red
Yeah deep in the heart of love jungle
I can lose my head
I can lose my head
We go to foreign movies for the very groovy
But never look bored
We buy books for the way they look
Don't read them at all
And on the weekends we see our families
They think we're very smart
We don't talk we forgot the words yeah
But we will go far
These are the ways of the modern world
You're such a modern girl
Take me back to the love jungle
Where all the flowers are red
Yeah deep in the heart of love jungle
I can lose my head
I can lose my head
Shake shake
You better shake shake
Shake shake
You better shake your body down
You better shake shake
Oh we go to cocktail parties for the very arty
The time goes by I'm so polite hmm. you're very pretty
Well ain't that nice
We keep our dreams in big glass bottles
By the bathroom door
Just waiting for the day when we can take them
And smash them on the floor
These are the ways of the modern world
You're such a modern girl
Take me back to the love jungle
Where all the flowers are red
Yeah deep in the heart of love jungle
I can lose my head
I can lose my head
Take me back to the love jungle
Where all the flowers are red
Yeah deep in the heart of love jungle
I can lose my head
(chorus)
When I see you it's just like takin' some drug,
Takin' some drug,
Takin' some drug
When I see you it's just like takin' some drug,
Takin' some drug,
Takin' some drug
It's calm a little while
Why can't I stop?
I watch your funny smile
The air is hot
(REPEAT CHORUS)
The clock says half past one
Turn on the light
Drink coffee now and then
It's getting late
I listen to the night
You read a book
You ask me questions and away I look
And I say
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I know conversation is nothing to you
Get lost in creation is all I can do
All I can do
All I can do
All I can do
All I...
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Look at some people
Look at yourself
Why don't you worry about your physical health
(REPEAT CHORUS x 3)
Drug...Drug
Drug...Drug
Takin' some,
Drug...Drug
Takin' some,
Drug, Drug
Drug, Drug
Hush hush hush stop making a fuss
Someone might come and rescue us
And when they do they'll turn on all the lights
And find the nest of vipers that we keep out of sight
I'm gonna rock this boat
I don't wanna float
Down the river with you
I'm gonna rock this boat
'Cause I really want to know
If our love is true
You're a little scared, I'm a little touched
Maybe I shouldn't go pushing my luck
But I saw the animal in your eyes
I wanted to go-go but my hands were tied
I'm gonna rock this boat
I don't wanna float
Down the river with you
I'm gonna rock this boat
'Cause I really want to know
If our love is true
Love love love is a dangerous drug
Makes me wonder what I'm thinking of
I'm gonna make you laugh, gonna make you cry
'Cos I don't care too much for paradise
I'm gonna rock this boat
I don't wanna float
Down the river with you
I'm gonna rock this boat
'Cause I really want to know
If our love is true
I'm gonna rock this boat
I don't wanna float
Down the river with you
I'm gonna rock this boat
'Cause I really want to know
If our love is true
I'm gonna rock this boat
I don't wanna float
Down the river with you
I'm gonna rock this boat
'Cause I really want to know
If our love is true
I'm gonna rock this boat
I don't wanna float
Down the river with you
It's a nightmare, a virgin's dream
On the back seat of a limousine
It's the fairy lights that light up your hair
It's the matt black leather dresses that you wear
Big trash
Ooh big trash
People paying hard cash
Yeah Yeah
For big trash
Lipstick kisses on your breasts
Dirty Chandeliers from a million cigarettes
Picasso in a Japanese department store
The way you giggle and squeal for more
And photographs of the pope in bed
With uptown girls trying to get some head
Finding heaven in the Ritz hotel
Then throw yourself down in a wishing well
Big trash
Ooh big trash
People paying hard cash
Yeah Yeah
For big trash
The Empire State, the Holy Grail
Good old England is up for sale
And giant flags and Uncle Sam
Hey honey, the ole boy is a dirty old man
Fire bombs and lotsa guns
Bang bang you're dead in the name of love
Yeah it's every little thing that you want it to be
It looks so good but never comes free
Big trash
Ooh big trash
People paying hard cash
Yeah Yeah
For big trash
Big trash
Ooh big trash
People paying hard cash
Yeah Yeah
Come on, come on down the rowe
you'll believe exactly what your told
and you'll lay down, lay down in shade of trees
yes, it'll happen to you just like it happened to me
well i think using my mind
i look around for love but what do i find
i try to relax it's time for a rest
i just can't seem to get out of this mess
(chorus)
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
down the rowe
in a birds' nest, i find an egg
well i break it up and rub it all over my head
and i wonder should i do this or should i do that
and does it matter if this whole story is a matter of fact
(repeat chorus)
and as a consequence of this
well i just remembered everything i miss
so come on, come on down the rowe
you'll believe exactly what your told
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ya,
(chorus)
i had a dream and the dream came true
i saw a ghost and the ghost was you
but in the dark it was hard to see
that you were only make believe
some people can't be left alone
they can't be happy on their own
some people need to find a friend
i never knew this was in my head
i wandered to an empty playground
all i needed was a friend
instead of playing hide and seek
i played let's pretend
lets pretend
(repeat chorus)
whenever i am feeling lonely
whenever i am at an end
i draw a picture inside my head
i could see you once again
(repeat chorus)
i'm building giant towers
day and night without relief
i don't need a team of helpers
i make do with make believe
Take my hand
Rob me for a while of my sight
Don't let me stand
Here underneath the red light
Oh touch my face
Feel the fascination as love grows
Your embrace
Eases the pain that only Tokyo knows
Where were you when I was cold
And all the world was out to get me
(Chorus)
Tokyo
Why can't I ever say no
Tokyo
Sense the chill
Of silent nights on my skin
Feel the thrill
As these four walls just cave in
Taste the rain
Splashes down on my roof
Seek in vain
For you will never know the real truth
This human heart beats much too fast
For comfort or for love in Tokyo
(Repeat Chorus)
Elvis Presley

Where were you when I was cold

Dance with me
Across the sea
And we can feel the motion of a thousand dreams
