She draped herself in widow weeds
Veil of black and buttoned sleeves
Hid her face from the world
A shadow where once had been a girl
Her husband of past twenty years
Had passed away leaving her in tears
Heart full of the future's fears
She kneels beside his grave
Where should be colour every day
Just widow weeds, her friends all say
";Please stop your tears and throw away
Those widow weeds of black and grey";
Then she did wail a chilling sound
Beat her fists and hit the ground
She moaned his name, she pulled her hair
She chanted verse and muttered prayer
How could a man so just, so good
Leave her a widow like he could
Where should be colour every day
Just widow weeds, her friends all say
";Please stop your tears and throw away
Those widow weeds of black and grey";
And deep within chador of lace
The deep etched sorrow on her face
This Madonna in her cowl of grief
Subservient in her belief
Then came the reading of the will
Grief had hold within her still
But unable to believe her ears
She stopped her sobbing, halted tears
Not a penny, not a pound
No provision to be found
Not a thought of recognition
The will was read with cold precision
Anger jumped up in her breast
Well maybe this was for the best
Even as the will was blessed
She tore away her veil
Tears of rage to tears of joy
No more grief from Death's envoy
No more weeping, gnashing teeth
No more prostrate with grief
She thought he loved her
So sure he loved her
She thought he loved her
So sure he loved her
But all his treasure all his wealth
Just signify love for himself
Just signify love for himself
The chador fell unto the earth
Witness a woman's rebirth
Witness a woman's rebirth
She exorcised Grief's ugly demon
With a new found sense of freedom
Where should be colour every day
Just widow weeds, now she can say
She stopped her tears and threw away
Those widow weeds of black and grey
And he dances every night
Framed in candles
And white white light
All is revealed
When all is too bright
You're such a pleasure
A wonderful pain
Makes me never want
To love again
But sorrow always comes
To those with fickle fame
And the tears are gonna come
The tears are gonna come
We are consumed by corruption
Old before our time
Hurt by others' hunger
Scarred by love as greed (how I need)
How cruel the birthday of 17
Youth behind you
The long years ahead
Showing you what you might have been
Instead of drifting, drifting, drifting
And the tears are gonna come
The tears are gonna come
Foundations crumble
Walls subside
We all break apart
When there's heartache inside
Hold back those years
Those tears
With a futile pride (we're gonna come clean)
Beware of love
And of dark-eyed men
They're sweet and they're tender
But they have no hearts
Just long smashed
Cruel shards of broken glass
And the tears are gonna come
The tears are gonna come
And all those songs
That made me cry
Keep flooding back
And years of new discovery and you
Disturbing my dreams
Now we're flowing down that river
Heading for the delta
I don't know which way to flow
But my heart's a forest fire
And yours a field of snow
I don't know which way to flow
Don't know which way
Don't know which way
The one who has me for his own
Is on the town and not alone
In his blue suit and his new tie
He slams the door without goodbye
Tonight my eyes are jealous green
Tonight I'm melancholy mean
He meets in secret rendezvous
Some dame to tell his troubles to
The heel
He'll promise her most anything
A sable coat, a diamond ring
She'll find him out when its too late
And all she'll get will be the date
But while the dawn's a distant thing
In his embrace her heart will sing
A dizzy head will spin with lies
And all too late a woman cries
The heel
The neon lights that flash below
Ignite my room with double glow
And in the gloom I hear a laugh
Its coming from his photograph
I wring my hands and mop the floor
And swear to even up the score
But where a kitten cried tonight
A panther waits to claw and bite
The heel
I dare not play my radio
One more complaint and out I go
I'm sick of playing solitaire
The ace of spades is everywhere
They'll be no sleep for me tonight
The sheep I count are never white
They all turn out to be jet black
And who's the leader of the pack
The heel
At dawn I know he'll stagger in
Demanding coffee black as sin
And as I take it from the tin
I'll slip a little powder in
He'll look at me and start to cry
And cross his heart and hope to die
And mumble I know how you feel
But I've been on a business deal
The heel
Then as the pot begins to perc.
I know my plan will never work
When he starts to drink it up
I grab his hand and break the cup
Its only jealousy I know
That brought my thinking down so low
Why must I wait for him and grieve
Why don't I just pack up and leave
The heel
But now he's reeling on the stair
I'll try to act like I don't care
For in my heart's arithmetic
I find it takes two heels to click
We're in a web of love and hate
Where it will end is up to fate
I'll let him have his little flings
I'll be the chewing gum that clings
Tonight's the night it said in my stars
That love would be round the next bend
I felt for a while that my run of good luck
Would never come to an end
This world was not made for me, no no no no no no no
There was you, there was I, and the sea and the sky
There was really no need to pretend, I saw
Eyes of a girl, lips of a girl
Could it be you or a call from my soul
Could it be somewhere that I dare not dream
Could it be you, be you
Skull faced moon and dull faced you
Grinning with mischief tonight
The shimmer of stars
The whisper of wind
This minute, tonight is the night, I saw
Eyes of a girl, lips of a girl
Could it be you or a call from my soul
Could it be somewhere that I dare not dream
Could it be you, be you
Unlock the secret door to my vault
Open the gate that leads to my heart
Touch of a tempter, touch of a siren
Could it be you, be you
The desperate hours
the scent of the flowers
You put in my room
Makes me think of you
In my dream I see
Eyes of a girl, lips of a girl
Could it be you or a call from my soul
Could it be somewhere that I dare not dream
Could it be you, be you
Unlock the secret door to my vault
Open the gate that leads to my heart
Touch of a tempter, touch of a siren
Could it be you, be you
Eyes of a girl, lips of a girl
Could it be you or a call from my soul
Could it be somewhere that I dare not dream
Could it be you, be you
Night and dark
Forever in my heart
Walking in the midnight rain
I'll never fall in love again
Night and dark
Nobody to see me cry
And like a flower slowly dies
So will I
Night and dark
In your shadows I can hide my pain
In my heart
The light will never shine again
The light will never shine again
Night and dark
Forever in my heart
For all the love I ever lost
My soul now feels a bitter frost
Night and dark
Forever when you say goodbye
All the stars will fade and die
In my sky
Night and dark
In your shadows I can hide my pain
In my heart
The light will never shine again
The light will never shine again
Night and dark
Forever in my heart
I'll always sing a song that's sad
For all the love I never had
Night and dark
Until the earth begins to crack
I know I'll never get them back
Roll the credits fade to black
God's tears are falling
Like stars they are falling
For the host of angels
Dying in my soul
God's tears are falling
Heaven's calling
Calling me, calling
A drifter alone in the dark
In the dark you'll never see me cry
In the dark you'll never see me cry
You'll never see the tears in my eyes
You'll never see the tears that I try to hide
In the night and dark
Wholely naked
My my worn towel serving as loin cloth
Face turned red
Hands clutching at soap and froth
(Next, next)
I was barely 20
And we were over 100
Being the followers of the one who led
(Next, next)
I was still 20
When my innocense was revealed
In a mobile brothel of an army
In the field
(Next, next)
Maybe I would have liked
A little touch of tenderness
Maybe a word
Or maybe a caress
But no
(Next, next)
It was not Waterloo
And it was not Arcole
It was the moment
When I regreted missing school
(Next, next)
But i swear on hearing that sergeant
Who was not worth tuppens
It was a dirty trick that
? made his armies of impotence
(Next, next)
I swear by the head
Of my first bout of syphillis
It's that voice
That voice that sticks
Like a fist
(Next, next)
That voice that stinks of garlic
Foul drink and crud
It's the voice of nations
And the voice of blood
(Next, next)
And since then
Each woman in the heat
Of succuming in my skinny arms
Seems to be murmering
Next, next
Next deary, next sonny
All the followers of the world
Would hold each others hand
For in my delerium, well I scream and demand
He's next....well I'm not delerious
I act as a reasoner
Say, it's more humiliating to be the followed
Than the follower
(Next, next, next, next)
One day I'll cut my legs off
Or even become a nun
I'll hang anything
So long as I'm not anyone
Never to be next
Never to be next
Never to be next
Next, next
Please don't pick me next
Never to be next
My death is like a swinging door
A patient girl who knows the score
Whistle for her
And the passing time
My death waits like a desperate truth
At the funeral of my youth
We pray for that
And the passing time
My death waits like a witch at night
As surely as all love is bright
Who loves for us
Amd the passing time
But whatever is behind the door
You know, there's nothing left to do
Angel or devil, Idon't care
For in front of that door
There is you
My death waits beneath my pillow
To catch my sleep in endless tableau
So lets freeze
The passing time
My death waits to allow my friends
A few good times before it ends
Let's drink to that
And the passing time
My death waits in your arms
Your thighs
Your soothing fingers will
Close my eyes
But let's not talk about
The passing time
But whatever is behind the door
And whoever waits for me
Angel or devil
I don't care
For in front of that door
You will be
My death waits among the fallen leaves
At my coffin where they greive
And now lets nail the passing time
My death waits among the rows
Where the blackest shadow goes
Let's cast blooms upon the passing time
My death waits in a double bed
Sands of oblivion at my head
Pull up the sheets against
The passing time
But whatever is behind the door
You know there's nothing much to do
Angel or devil
I dont care
For in front of that door
Remember when we were back in school
Two young kids with wild ideas
Years gone by we sweated and saved
For a cupboard with a view
Now too old for work they say
What's the point in biding time
Living out our yesterday
When wild ideas could all come true
We could settle into being old
But all that glitters could be gold
So meet me in my dream
I won't fall asleep without you
Meet me in my dream
Underneath the Vegas lights
Look around our shabby room
Paper peeling curtains frayed
Faded photos on the wall
Like us they've all seen better days
We drew our savings from the bank
For roulette wheels and reckless nights
Sinatra's records on our minds
Fruit machines and neon lights
We made our peace
We cut our ties
We sold our house
We said goodbye
So meet me in my dream
I won't fall asleep without you
Meet me in my dream
Underneath the Vegas lights
We threw away our everything
And blew it on a final fling
So meet me in my dream
I won't fall asleep without you
So meet me in my dream
It's lonely there without you
Remember way back then in school
All the things we said we'd do
So meet me in my dream
Underneath the Vegas lights
Meet me in my dream
Meet me in my dream
Meet me in my dream
On Monday I took a flower
Dried it in my hand
Covered it in poison
And I threw it on the land
On wasted ground it tried to root
But choked upon the sand
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On Tuesday I took a bird
Such pain to hear it sing
I blackened it with petrol
And oiled its little wings
I tainted the breeze
As I threw it to the wind
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On Wednesday I took a man
He begged please help me die
For he lay in pain and suffering
It made his loved ones cry
I can be terrible and gentle
In the blinking of an eye
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On Thursday I took a woman
Heavy with a child
My old friend Rape had paid a visit
Had stayed a little while
In a back street I touched her
With a wire and a smile
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On Friday I took a city
Cursed it with a plague
Powdered crystals, smoking pipes
To crush and to enslave
And a row of dirty needles
Lines the route onto the grave
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On Saturday I took a country
Praying for the rain
Parched throats and swollen lips
Without a harvest grain
And I wiped out generations
And I'd do it all again
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
On Sunday I took the world
A bomb I did employ
Seven days to create life
And one day to destroy
Every woman every man
Every girl and boy
And there's room in my diary for you, my friend
And there's room in my diary for you
Now as I close my diary
And I've made my final date
I blow away the ashes
And I stoke the smoking grate
I've no distinction between pain and joy
No line twixt love and hate
There's no room in my diary for you, my friend
There's no room in my diary for you
Now you're kissing other guys
And when you kiss you close your eyes
Do you hold regrets or do you easily forget
Can you be so quickly swayed
Can tender words just fade away
Can you blame me for feeling betrayed
As one love dies a new begins
Do you say the same to him
If he knew the things I knew
Would he say "I love you too"
Soon you'll turn, for him too late
Recrimination and heartache
Would you blame him for feeling betrayed
Betrayed
Betrayed
Put all your trust in someone who
You believed was true to you
That's how a broken heart is made
Now I know your plan in mind
To take from everyone you find
Capture hearts with your cute smile
Hypnotise and beguile
Cruel love is the game you play
Were you treated once this way
The world dealt you a bad hand
And you're gonna make it pay
You were...
Betrayed
Betrayed
Put all your trust in someone who
You believed was true to you
That's how your broken heart was made
That's how your broken heart was made
That's how my broken heart was made
That's how my broken heart was made
Betrayed
Betrayed
You betrayed me
You betrayed me
That's how my broken heart was made
I lost you in the great big city
You gave me your number
But fate, she closed her eyes
And the wind blew it away
I know you're sometimes at a bar
But I can't recall the name
You could have called
I'm sure you have a story
And you're not to blame
In time the tears will come
And the memory of you will hurt inside
I know life must go on
And I won't see you again
And life goes...
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
I'll cry tomorrow baby
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
But tonight I'm gonna dance
Brilliant creatures
We were brilliant creatures
Bitterness is a pure feeling
Makes me feel that life's worth living
And when the pain becomes too much
I'll turn and walk away
Just standing in the rain
I'll take the romance of the night
I'm not gonna waste my time
I've got a life to live
And life goes...
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
I'll cry tomorrow baby
Oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh
But tonight I'm gonna dance
Am I still in your heart
Or do I shed my tears for nothing
Do you think of me at all
Tell me that it all means something
I could wait for you to call
But when tomorrow never seems to come
I'll close my heart to you
Promises, I've heard them all before
Outside the snow is falling
In my heart a voice is calling
Time to end the story
Turn and walk away
Remember that we were brilliant creatures
Flaming creatures
For a fleeting moment in a dream
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough
And I wake up
And it's there like a freezing cloud
Passing over the sun
And I open my eyes
I'm not moving
White as a ghost
And stiff as a gun
And I wake up my senses
And I push all the stars from my head
Is this what it's like to be dead
And my heartbeat races onward to the other side of the city
Where you await for me to feed my addiction to you my love
I just can't get enough
I'm a lover, unrequited
There's a desperate look in my eyes
And I come with the night like a panther
With a longing for you in my sight
And I'm burning a candle at the window
Hoping you'll be drawn into the light
And my heartbeat races onward to the other side of the city
Where you await for me to feed my addiction to you my love
I'm addicted to you, I've got to have a little of your love
I just can't get enough
Getting hungry, feeling lovesick
Shivering cold with the longing for love
I'm above, like an eagle, flying low
But I know where to go I've the soul of a dove
Love's a need that consumes me gets into me
And of you I just can't get enough
And my heartbeat, races onward to the other side of the city
Where you await for me to feed my addiction to you my love
Wild wild child of the London night
Prowling under cover of the city lights
Waiting for a chance to strike, strike, strike
You're gonna strike at my heart
Tonight
There's trouble going on
Behind your eyes
Blue little eyes
Where trouble lies
They gave you too much trouble
But not enough time
The time starts here
And here you'll find
I want to be inside
Be inside your mind
Riding where your secrets hide
And worship at the shrine
It's time to be adored and explored
So you wanna be adored and explored
And you're gonna be adored and explored
So come on and be adored and explored
There's a storm coming up behind your eyes
You're gonna give the world a big surprise
They gave you too much trouble but not enough time
Now there's plenty of time so for now be mine
It's time to be adored and explored
So you wanna be adored and explored
And you're gonna be adored and explored
So come on and be adored and explored
No more tears
For downtrodden years
You're an undiscovered land
Unexplored by man
Open your mind
Leave it all behind
Its all there to find
In a too bright mind
Unconventional child
You ran too wild
Now its written in the sky
You'll emerge as the butterfly
As the butterfly
So you wanna be adored and explored
And you're gonna be adored and explored
Yeah, it's time to be adored and explored
So come on and be adored and explored
Adored and explored
You wanna be adored and explored (x3)
Adored and explored
A lover spurned
A lesson learned
On love you've got
Your fingers burnt
Shed bitter tears
Now love has turned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned
A passing phase
A week of love
But all at once
You had enough
It pales so soon
Waned with the moon
No deep concern
For a lover spurned
She'll destroy you with her little games
See you swallow all the blame
Make you pay in many ways
For the pleasure of watching you squirm
She'll tell her friends to treat you rough
That you just weren't good enough
Make the going really tough
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell
And every day
More guilt to pay
A lesson learned
From a lover spurned
It was all so cosy for you
You had a wife, two children
And a beautiful house
And me, well you wanted me
When it suited your needs
And now, now I have nothing
Just a handful of faded photographs
Nothing but a cold empty heart
But I'm not easily forgotten
I'll appear when you least expect
To make you pay
You asked for it that way
She'll come to get you with a knife
Write poison letters to your wife
Totally destroy your life
For the pleasure of watching you squirm
She'll make a fool of you at work
Drag your name through the dirt
Make sure that it really hurts
For the pleasure of watching you burn in hell
A lover spurned
A lesson learned
On love you've got
Your fingers burnt
Shed bitter tears
Now love has turned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned
The sweet revenge
Of a lover spurned
You know it in your heart
Do I really need to say
Although we try again
It always ends
The same way
Ends in tears
Ends in tears
You know it always ends in tears
Oh it always ends in tears
No matter how we laugh
How close we grow
Day by day
Although we've learned to love
It always ends
The same way
Ends in tears
Ends in tears
You know it always
Ends in tears
It always ends in tears
It always ends in tears
It always ends in tears
It always ends in tears
I'm not really
What you want
No matter how hard I try
I'll never been enough for you
So it always ends in goodbye
But whatever
You know
I'll always love you
Until the next time
Well I'm walkin' blind down danger street
The street where eyes don't dare to meet
Dirt-Doorways frame silhouettes
A Teeth-Grind-Grinning smile of threat
Down here you ask for all you get
These East Side Angrys'll getchoo yet
Ignore the cat calls look straight ahead
You could wind up the other side of dead
(If you're lucky)
Well I took a glance sideways
Straight into some Chicano chick's eyes
They were pretty wild
Like she'd been snortin' some of that cocaine
She was mean for trouble
Boilin' for blood
But I had to say she was stacked
>From the tip of her toes
To her flaming red hair
She's gonna drag me up to her Carnal Cage of no way out desire
Help, Help
You gotta help yourself
Help me, Help me
You son of a gun
You gotta run muchacho run
Well I was getting to know the neighbourhood
Getting to know how it looked and smelled
Watching the windows
In tenement hell
Love was rape
And love for sale
And death a fact of life
Love was rare
But who cares, who cares
When you're living by the knife
Well I took a slug of bitter coffee
Pulled a face as bitter hit me
End up with a new mouth
Carved where my throat used to be
And then I saw him
Tall and proud
Wearing the entire city garbage dump
Around his neck and wrists
And then I saw him
Dirty red Chicano sweat bandanna
And colours
Held together by filth and fury
Oh wow-ee-ow
The Leader of the Shining Sinners
The Leader of the Shining Sinners
And she was by his side
This Vampira I'd seen earlier
She looked at me the look of scum
Help, Help
You gotta help yourself
Help me, Help me
You son of a gun
You gotta run muchacho run
He walked
Did I say walked?
Well I mean WAAALKED
Right up to me at a slow pace
He looked down at me and said
"Shee-it!"
My knees were bucklin'
My brow was sweatin'
I stared straight ahead at his knee cap
I had to strike soon
The Leader of the Shining Sinners
Sweet 'n' sharp and
Cool 'n' calm
He lives for them
They die for him
Bitten through with nails of hatred
He takes his band of laughing dead
To gather up the wages of skin
Keep my eyes upon the pavement
Nothing else could save me
In this battlefield of blood and bruises
I'll take this brave stiletto
And with all the courage left in my heart
I'll . . . I'll take the life of the Leader of the Shining Sinners
He lay upon the ground
Coughing up blood
He looked up at me
Yes I was the big one now
And said
"I wanted to shake your hand
You little runt
For having the guts to walk into my neighbourhood
I liked you!"
And with that he died
Leaderless and laughless
The Wastrels of the Shining Sinners
Lay me out like some dead cat on the ground
I taste the taste of human filth
My courage caves in on itself
Now no-one's leading anyone anymore
And I wondered what I did it for
And I wondered what I did it for
Why did I do it?
Why?
Why did I do it?
Why - Why did I do it?
Why?
Why?
Oh you have the saddest eyes
That I have ever seen
Secret sorrows of a heart
That breaks so easily
Don't let me catch you crying
Don't let me catch you crying
Watching through the pane of glass
The final silent scenes
You became a fading face
In morning's half forgotten dream
Don't let me catch you crying
Just hear the sad breeze sighing
You have
You have
You have the first ice of winter
I have the first rain of summer
You have the sad signs of sorrow
I have to leave you tomorrow
Words on a torn piece of paper
Escape from the window forever
Memories don't seem to matter
When crushed under heel in the gutter
Oh you have the saddest eyes
That I have ever seen
Secret sorrows of a heart
That breaks so easily
Don't let me catch you crying
Just hear the sad breeze sighing
You have
You have
I wander out along the rain washed streets
Blinded with tears
And kicking cans
Wrecked and wild
With an ever-crushing loneliness
Feverish and tousled
With an ever-crushing love
I know I won't find any answers here
I know my pleading voice bounds back an echo
It ricochets back down the cavernous alley
Hey don't be a stranger
Sad how misguided and confused
We suffer inside
Stumbling from one shaky stepping stone
To another
Reaching out for a blind, blind love
Reaching out for a blind, blind love
Small we fall easy prey to self-pity
Wishing I was with you on the other side
Maybe tomorrow I'll join you in Paradise
And so they say they're leaving
While you sleep away the day
You go out every evening
Collecting waifs and strays
They follow their illusions
They don't know what to do
They need a clear direction
That's why they turn to you
You're pleading
Please don't leave me
Don't go from me so soon
I need to be found
For I'm a stray too
Don't go
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
On the streets of Paris
On the streets of Rome
They find a home
In shadow or in coffee bars
Down the winding alleys
Through the brightly lit arcades
No matter where they are
In and out of life they wander
Little waifs and strays
They stay until you fall in love
That's when they slip away
In the dark you'll see
Those sad brown eyes come shining through
Your heart will melt
You felt the way they looked at you
Don't go
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
You find you need someone
To love your days away
Just when your heart is crying out
Please stay
Don't go away
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Yes it's true
I'm a stray too
Heaven help me
Lord above
You don't trust me
But how I love
Your jealousy (jealousy)
You're on the phone
Or at my door
You watch my home
But I adore
Your jealousy (jealousy)
Oh your jealousy
Oh I love your jealousy
Each night I lie awake for hours
And thoughts of you my heart devours
With jealousy (jealousy)
Do you think of only me
Or could this suffering just be
My jealousy (jealousy)
Oh, oh my jealousy
Oh, oh I love your jealousy
We need jealousy
We believe in jealousy
I'm walking on a precipice
A love too dangerous to miss
Called jealousy (jealousy)
Always dancing on my toes
To a tune everyone knows
Called jealousy (jealousy)
Oh oh called jealousy
I'm always living with a doubt
That love I feel is flat without
The jealousy (jealousy)
Though possessive is the love we share
Our love sleeps soundly in the care
Of jealousy (jealousy)
Oh oh of jealousy
Oh we need the jealousy
Oh we believe in jealousy
[Instrumental]
The hurt I hurt
Is nothing like
The hurts I've hurt before
The things I feel
Do not feel
Like things I've felt before
And the loneliness and the emptiness
And the hopelessness are fine
'Cause sometimes my cloudy brain remembers
For one moment you were mine
The pain that pains
Is not the pain
That pained my heart before
The tears I tear
Are not the tears
My eyes have teared before
And the loneliness and the helplessness
And the uselessness are fine
'Cause sometimes my cloudy brain remembers
Sad little boy of the street
Hands of a thief
With the mind of a dreamer
Dodging the puddles with feet
Of a torero in an Arena
Sings an old Andalucian song
Dancing along
Using his dirty red coat as a cape
Rain thundering down
Sounds like the applause from
Hundreds of people
He feels free as the wind
Free as the swifts
Around the cathedral
Kneels to acknowledge his fame
Forgets all his pain
Little Toreador in the Rain
Bathed in a Rainbow of Pink
Purple and Blue outside La Molina
The pavement reflecting the neon
Lights this Torero in his arena
He looks down at his clothes
Imagining those
Worn of sequin, Gold and Brocade
He kneels and kisses the beast
Fearing the least
Knowing death will not find him
But maybe one day he will face
The Horns of the Devil
His childhood behind him
Brave young man from the streets
No more a thief
No longer a dreamer
Stands in front of the Beast
A golden Torero in an Arena
It starts to thunder and rain
Remembering that day
He danced like a fool on the wing of a dream
Sand turning to mud
Soon where his blood will splatter and mingle
Free, Free as an Angel
Up with the swifts
Around the cathedral
Never to be seen again
Dreams all in vain
There lies the Toreador in the rain
Little Toreador in the rain
Little Toreador in the rain
It's a poison
That slowly drips
It's a word of cruelty
On your lips
Like a killer on the run
Like a kiss from a gun
It's a threat of love
Threat of love
It's a heartache
To traumatise
It's a touch of darkness
In your eyes
Like a killer on the run
Like a kiss from a gun
It's a threat of love
Threat of love
It's a life
On a bed of roses
It's a life
On a bed of nails
It's a life of hell
If you live to tell
It's a threat of love
Threat of love
Cold like a day without sun
Cold like a kiss from a gun
Cold how my heart grows cold
Under the threat of love
Love goes dark
In the shadow
Of your heart
Love goes cold
In the winter of your soul
It's a chilling revelation
It's a ticket to damnation
It's a reason for retribution
As you pray for absolution
Like a lonely phantom calling
Like an angel when he's falling
Like a killer on the run
Like a kiss from a gun
It's a threat of love
Threat of love
Afraid of love
Afraid of love
And all the things that are made of love
Threat of love
Do you remember
Those hazy amber days
We were but children
Having the time of our lives
We had no regard, no respect
A floor was a bed
And a bed held the mysteries of life
They had to end
But so soon?
And to sit in the dark
Of my lonely room
Made it all seem so cruelly real
Say no goodbyes, no regrets
For the things that we said
How we said
That we only wanted an answer
To our dreams
We wanted an answer to our dreams
Ignorance is bliss
When adulthood we can resist
To embrace the years with grace
What a waste
What a waste
The fun we had
The fun we'll have
Reckless immaturity
For stars we are
And stars we'll be
Just you and me
For stars we are
And stars we'll be
Lost little child star
You stand on the stage
Your head in your hands
While you cry
You feel so afraid
That your beauty will fade
Into the indigo sky
Glamorous, beautiful, tragic and doomed
Always someone new close behind
All those tears, or just nails
Which harden your heart
What will I find when I look in your eyes?
I'll find that beauty is all in your mind
We grow and we bloom
Our glow fills the room
And we spend our short times
In the sun
But like the leaves in autumn
We fall to the ground
Spent...too young
I'm lost like you're lost
I'm in need of your shine
I'm unsure of the world just like you
Child star, oh child star
Look inside your heart
For beauty, oh beauty is you
Oh beauty, oh beauty
The sea says
Come with me and whisper
Run with me
And tell me
Why is it you're lonely
I held your hand
In those years as a child
Soothed all your fevers
Tousled your hair
Gave you my treasures
My shells and my shingle
Made you feel happy
When things seem so bad
The sea says
I gave you stories
Adventure and mystery
When all was not well
I sung you to sleep
Crept into the cracks
Of your imagination
Made you feel happy
When things seem so bad
The sea says
Please don't go to pieces
Things can't be so bad
Why looking so sad
I held your hand
In those years as a child
Soothed all your fevers
Tousled your hair
Gave you my treasures
My shells and my shingle
Made you feel happy
When things seem so bad
When things seem so bad
I keep old feelings locked
In the room below
Soft kisses
Stained wine glasses
And outside the snow
Broken windows
Wilted flowers
And we stayed happy there for hours
Oh, how I love Carmen Amaya
She sings my sad then happy heart
How I loved any kind of love
And you the love of art
I painted walls flamenco orange
You painted me in greys and charcoals
We stayed together, braved the winter
I was happy, but then I had you
Oh, how I love Carmen Amaya
She sings my sad then happy heart
How I loved any kind of love
And you the love of art
Sometimes the ceiling would collapse
The upstairs sink leaked down our walls
We never washed the cups or dishes
Well love can keep you very busy
Oh, how I love Carmen Amaya
She sings my sad then happy heart
How I loved any kind of love
This is my destiny
For one brief moment
And I'm not gonna let it die
I'm like the sun
I'm like the sun shining brightly
This is my destiny
For one brief moment
And I'm not gonna let it die
I'm like the sun
I'm like the sun shining brightly
For one brief moment
This is my time
My minute
And I'm not going to let it die
I've got to stay high
I'm like the sun
I'm like the sun shining brightly
Believe in the dream
'Cause this is my destiny
I'm not going back
I've come a long, long way
And I'm not going back
The bargemen see
Me growing old
I see the bargemen
Aging too
We play the game
Of Tom Fools
Where the one
Who still is oldest
In my work
Even in summer
He must travel
WIth eyes clossed
It's not nothing
Being a lockman
The barge men know
My bloated face
They joke with me
That's there mistake
Half sorcerer
Half drunkard
I cast a spell
On all that sings
In my work
In autumn
We gather fruit
And the drowned
It's not nothing
Being a lockman
In his basket
A baby squirms
To watch the fly
On his nose
Mama moans
And time frets
Cabbage sweats
And fires groan
In my work
In winter
We think of the father
Who drowned himself
It's not nothing
Being a lockman
Towards the spring
The barge women
Feign and gloat
From their boat
I'd like their games
But for that war
That he leaves me
Somewhat damaged
In my work
In the spring
One takes the time
[Instrumental]
Black kiss
Kiss deep
Inside
Your sleep
Dark love
You crave
Black kiss
I gave
Black kiss
Inspire
Cold heart
On fire
Black kiss
Red rose
Where no
One goes
Beautiful evil
Beautiful evil
Why do you hurt me?
Why do I let you?
I need your blood now
But you're not giving
Without your blood how
Can I keep living?
Black kiss
From above
Soft mouth
Hard love
Sweet kiss
So true
Black kiss
That I gave you
Beautiful evil
Beautiful evil
Why do you hurt me?
Why do I let you?
I need your blood now
But you're not giving
Without your blood how
Can I keep living?
Black kiss
Kiss deep
Inside
Your sleep
Black kiss
Barb wire
Cold heart
On fire
Beautiful evil
Beautiful evil
Why do you hurt me?
Why do I let you?
I need your blood now
But you're not giving
Without your blood how
Can I keep living?
There in my mind
Clear and defined
Deep in my heart
Where do I start
Blood on your lips
Passionate bliss
Don't want to miss
Your black kiss
Beautiful evil
Beautiful evil
Why do you hurt me?
Why do I let you?
I need your blood now
But you're not giving
Without your blood how
Can I keep living?
Can I keep living?
Can I keep living?
With a whisper in my ear
I'll tell you what you want to hear
All the words that touch my heart
Are all the words I need to fear
Like an incubus at night
You work your way into my sleep
And how you
Tantalise me
Tantalise me
You're so very tantalising
You're so very tantalising
Come into my wicked web
Said the spider to the fly
Fall into my honey trap
Taste my sweetness say goodbye
Like a cat upon my face
Your softness steals my breath away
And how you
Tantalise me
Tantalise me
You're so very tantalising
You're so very tantalising
Like an incubus at night
You work your way into my sleep
And how you
Tantalise me
Tantalise me
Tantalise me
(you) Tantalise me
(you) Tantalise me
(you) Tantalise me
(your) Tantalising
You're so very tantalising
Try hard to make the world look bright today
Try hard to make my nightmares go away
Try hard to keep the fear away
The cold of day, try hard
Try hard to play the games the world would like you to play
But people, they don't really listen
Their smiles are the keys to the prison
I'll call on the angels, to hold my head softly
They'll always remember . . . Stories of Johnny
Try hard to make my anger go away
Try hard to make my money last the day (no way)
Try hard to keep away the pain
Stop the rain, try hard
Try hard to fly a thousand miles away
But people, they don't really listen
Their smiles are the keys to the prison
I'll call on the angels, to hold my head softly
They'll always remember . . . Stories of Johnny
My smoky lover . . . will close my eyes forever
All hands on deck
We're all afloat
I heard the captain cry
Explore the ship
Replace the cook
Let no one leave alive
Across the straits
Around the Horn
How far can sailors fly
The twisted path
Our tortured course
And no left alive
We sailed for parts
Unknown to man
Where ships come home to die
No lofty peak
No fortress bold
Could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh
Seasick day
We made our port of call
The sun so white
And the sea so blue
No mortal place at all
We fired the gun
And burned the mast
And rode from ship to shore
The captain cried
We sailors wept
But our tears were tears of joy
How many moons
And how many Junes
Have passed since we made love
A salty dog
And a seaman's log
[Instrumental]
My dark beloved
When you lie asleep
Deep within your black marble tomb
For alcove and lodge
You will keep a damp, dripping vault
A pit of gloom
And when the stone
Weighing down your breast
And your thighs once supple
Through scant concern
Stills your heart
From it's desiring quest
Fastens your feet
From the reckless run
The grave, which shares
My eternal dream
For the poet the grave always understands
During long nights
When sleep is far away
Will ask: what do you gain
You dumb whore
Not to have known what the dead cry for?
And, like remorse,
In the Rue des Blancs-Manteaux
They raised a wooden stage
Threw some bran in a basket
And there was the scaffold
In the Rue des Blancs-Manteaux
In the Rue des Blancs-Manteaux
The executioner rose at dawn
He had a job to do
He must chop the generals, bishops and admirals too
In the Rue des Blancs-Manteaux
Into the Rue des Blancs-Manteaux
Came the well-bred women
With their precious jewels
But the heads they turned them
Rolling from on high
Heads stuck in their hats
On the prowl
Up to no good
Got to find a lover by midnight
On the prowl
Wish that I could
Satisfy my predator nature
Star shine bright
Won't you heal my sorrow tonight
Let's chase the moonlight
Burn the town to rubble
And go looking for some trouble
To fight
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Out on the night's horizon we go
Up where the stars are hiding
Until the sun's arising
Look out we're all going on the prowl
On the prowl
Stalking the town
Gonna add you to my private collection
On the prowl
Hear me growl
Gonna trick you with my lies and deception
Hold on tight
As we go cruising down the strips and the alleys
Chasing like vampires
Tearing up the city
As we look for something pretty to bite
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Out on the night's horizon we go
Up where the stars are hiding
Until the sun's arising
Look out we're all going on the prowl
Prowling the night
Looking for love
Searching for someone
To fit like a glove
Into the clubs
Into the bars
Dodging the lights
Kicking the cars
Prowling the night
For something to do
Stalking the town
Looking for you
Star shine bright
Won't you heal my sorrow tonight
Lets chase the moonlight
Burn the town to rubble
And go looking for some trouble
To fight
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
We're going on the prowl
And we go out on the night's horizon we go
Up where the stars are hiding
Until the sun's arising
Orpheus in Red Velvet
Sing that song again
That song of jealousy and pain
Orpheus in Red Velvet
Sing that tearful tune
The one that's coloured by the moon
Take me through Hell
For I deserve it
Take me through Hell
It's for my good
Pain is sweet
However hot you serve it
And Hell is no hotter
Than my jealous blood
Orpheus in Red Velvet
Sing your sweet refrain
My tears are falling like the rain
Orpheus in Red Velvet
Croon your lullaby
It makes me cry
Sing
Take me through Hell
For I deserve it
Take me through Hell
It's for my good
Pain is sweet
However hot you serve it
And Hell is no hotter
Than my jealous blood
Orpheus in Red Velvet
Sorrow in your words
The sweetest words I've ever heard
Orpheus in Red Velvet
Sing of one that once was mine
Heartache sublime
Orpheus in Red Velvet
Like velvet was my valentine
Sing
First I saw you
Love in a silk black slip
In dark waters
Sinking like a ship
Trouble on your lips
Murder in your song
Song of a mean man
Lovers come and gone
Oh Melancholy Rose
Oh Melancholy Rose
Come souls' midnight
We'll both sail away
Leaving red sunsets
To end our passion play
Bitter allows
Tingles on the tongue
Body and soul
Lovers come and gone
Oh Melancholy Rose
Oh Melancholy Rose
Always running away
Black Sobraine hair
Turning cigarette ash grey
Sprawled across troubled beds
Hands outstretched
Reaching for the pills
In lonely rundown motels
Life, love, men
Dust to dust
Disaster after disaster
Must be some dark kiss on your lips
A promise of heaven or hell in your song
Tomorrow it'll all be gone be gone
Oh Melancholy Rose
Lovers come and gone
Oh Melancholy Rose
Love has come and gone
Oh Melancholy Rose
Poor Mr Sad
He's flown away
In search of his heaven now
Heaven knows why
And Mr Sad
Left me a note to say
If he finds his heaven now
He won't have time to cry
So I'm gonna fly, fly, fly away
On my wings I made
Out of sorrows I threw away, away
Maybe, I'll be back one day
Who knows
Poor Mr Sad
He lives for dreams
He's out of his mind it seems
With schemes that gleam
Too bright for me
But what the hell
I've nothing to lose
I built my wings today
So I say
Please wait for me
Because I'm gonna fly
So I'm gonna fly, fly, fly away
On my wings I made
Out of sorrows I threw away, away
Maybe, I'll be back one day
Who knows
Poor Mr Sad
Gliding in the sky
You flew to your heaven now
Now I know why
I flew in search
Of years I left behind
But something
That's in your mind
Is something nobody can take away
I'm tired of drifting
I'm tired of lying
I've been walking
When I could have been flying
Sitting and waiting
In a life slowly dying
When the sun comes up tomorrow
I'll ask my heart where to follow
Midnight soul
Searching for dreams
Looking for answers
Walking the lonely road
With all the other
Neon dancers
Like a child
In the dark
On an endless night
Dancing with shadows
Underneath the street light
With all the other beautiful losers
At the edge of their lives
Forever falling
While pretending to fly
Midnight soul
Hide from the sun
Stardust romancers
Walking the lonely road
With all the other
Streetwise chancers
Always a child
Chasing your dreams
Looking for answers
Won't you be my midnight soul
And together
Maybe we can find a better life tomorrow
And there'll be no more sorrow
There are times
You can't help but to cry
And time won't heal
By and by
There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt won't heal
With the years
But, I will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you
There are times
When the world is cruel
And I won't be there for you
There are times
You can't hold back the tears
And hurt will heal
With the years
I will always love you
Always love you
Always you and no-one else but you
When storms come our way
When tides wash away
When storms come our way
When tides wash away
I will always love you
Always love you
Love you love you love you love you
I went walking down by the river
Feeling very sad inside
When all at once I saw in the sky
The little white cloud that cried
He told me he was very lonesome
No one cared if he lived or died
He said sometimes the thunder and lightening
Make all the little clouds cry
He said, "Have faith in all kinds of weather
Through the sun will always shine
Do your best and always remember
The dark clouds pass with time."
He asked me if I would tell all my world
Just how hard those little clouds try
That's how I know I'll always remember
Keep on looking now
You gotta keep on looking now
Keep on looking now
You're looking for love
In all the wrong places
Where your walk it's always shadow
Conversation always shallow
When they talk they never look you in the eye
They look over your shoulder
To faces even colder
And you feel a little older
Every time
You're looking for love
In all the wrong places
When you're looking for reaction
When you're searching for direction
When you're scared of rejection
Or attack
You need the warmth of loving
When you're growing tired of seeing
A colourless reflection
Looking back
You're looking for love
In all the wrong places
Something real to fill those little empty spaces
So you're looking for love in all the wrong places
You need understanding
You need a home
All those people so alone
You need understanding
You need a home
All those people so alone
You're looking for love
In all the wrong places
You're looking for love
In all the wrong places
You better keep on looking now!
And so the evening shade will fall
Where nameless voices call and call
And think of all the friends you made
While you toast with Prozac and lemonade
You can hold me under septic skies
(You can dream to your own places)
Watch the sun set in my eyes
(You can't seem to put)
Could this be the time to die?
(A name to all the faces)
The wind upon your face
(Something real)
Your lips upon my lips
Like urban velvet
(To fill those little empty spaces)
So you're looking for love in all the wrong places
You keep on looking for love in all the wrong places
Dream and take away the tears
(Keep on looking now)
Drift on to where your heart is numb
(You gotta keep on looking now)
It's lovely there where love becomes
A drug to fill your need
Just believe in you!
And learn to love yourself
My love
My heart
My sweet, oh
My sky
My fire
My heat, oh
My work
My spring
My veil
My honey
My bomb
My grail
My gate
My gold
My thrown, oh
My stock
My rock
My stone, oh
My night
My thirst
My hunger
My day
My bread
My water
My sail
My wave
My guide
My way
My blood
My strengh
My fever
My ray
My song
My love
My wine
My joy
My dawn
My life
My faith
My cry
My love
My heart
My sweet, oh
My sky
My fire
My heat, oh
My body
My flesh
My yearning
Drawing back the curtains
Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon
Here's that special silence
Just before you walk out of the hotel room
Each time we're so close I assume
That we'll never be again
Oh, how long must we pretend?
A casual affair
Was all that you could spare
From your emotional change
A calendar of greetings
Strangers on the street
The best we've ever arranged
Now I just can't stand all the pain
All the constant break and mend
Oh, how long can we pretend
That we're just good friends?
I gave you my devotion
Hiding nothing up my sleeve
If I walked clean out of your life
Would you even notice me?
So much tangled up emotion
Should I stay or should I go?
If I walked clean out of your life
How long would it take you to know?
Are we such good friends?
And how sordid this has become
As the means approach the end
And how long can we pretend?
I gave my devotion
Hiding nothing up my sleeve
If I walked clean out of your life
Would you even notice me?
So much tangled up emotion
Should I stay or should I go?
If I walked clean out of your life
How long would it take you to know?
If I walked clean out of your life
How long would it take you to know?
You've understood nothing
If you need trains to fleet to adventure
And white ships to take you away
To see the sun in your eyes
To see the songs you can't sing
Then
If you don't believe in tomorrow
And tomorrow to be able to hope
To find again in the hope
That slipped from your hand
To find again the hand
That your hand has left
Then
If you need words pronounced by the old
To help you justify all your renunciations
If poetry to you is no more than a game
If all your life is only a growing old
Then
If you need boredom
To help you see the found
And the noise of town
To satiate remorse
And then weakness
To help you seem good
And then anger
To help you seem strong
Then, then
You've understood nothing
Nothing......nothing
Found me out drunk and abandoned
All my horizons in flame
Crying tell all my friends to forget me
'Cause I'll never see them again
Oh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And I'll never see them again
How long do you think that you're going to lick
All of the boots that kick you?
You've had your face in the dirt for too long
Sweet revenge long overdue
Oh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And I'll never see them again
I looked at the Manhattan skyline
The bitterest tears in my eyes
A big ball of slime in the cesspool of life
Under an open sore sky
Oh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
And I'll never see them again
It took me all this time to realise
That Hell was a city on Earth
And Jesus died for me to despise
The pitiful waste of his birth
I craved for the filth of the city
Gold pathway of dreams from my heart
But acid of misery ate up the gold
And sent me right back to the start
Oh go tell them all to forget me
There's no love left in me for them
Something is stirring deep inside of me
Come in sweet assassin
How will I ever know you love me
Unless you hurt me
Lay your head down on the pillow
Take off your dancing shoes
And rest your gypsy feet
Come in sweet assassin
You've got everything to steal
And nothing to lose
Just call in
When you're passing
I've forgotten how it feels
Not to trust someone
Come in sweet assassin
And do just what you have to do
Make it quick, don't fool around
Ignore all sombre warnings
Not to succumb to love
Leave my heart locked up forever more
The rings upon your fingers
Boast of what you took from others
What you're gonna take from me
The taint of perfume lingers
On the clothes of those that
Fell into your arms, you charm
No no, no no no no
You're never never never going to let me go
You say I'm your possession
You say I'm your toy
You're gonna teach me a lesson
That I won't enjoy
I need to break free
You suffocate me
I'm in pain
I want to break out
I've got to escape these chains
You want all my love
So I've got none to spare
You drain all my resources
And you leave my heart bare
I'm eternally yours
I'm forever engaged
I'm caged
In a prison of love
I'm a tiger enraged
I'm caged
Let me out
No no, no no no no
You're never never never gonna let me go
You smother my will
To make me behave
I'm drugged on your love
To make me your slave
You love with a passion
But I'm swallowed by your desire
Your love is so hot
But I don't want to burn in the fire
You've got me tied in a tender rage
Like a captive dancer in a gilded cage
You feed me love on a silver spoon
With a leather glove by the light of the moon
For your pleasure
For your show
You're never never never gonna let me go
No no, no no no no
You're never never never gonna let me go
You think that I'll stray
So you'll never trust me
You tempt me each day
But I'll never be free
I'm eternally yours
I'm forever engaged
I'm caged
In a prison of love
I'm a tiger enraged
I'm caged
Don't shut your eyes
When they're lighting up the skies
I just want to see them shine
And I cannot take my mind off you
Halo of fire
In my heart there is a choir
And it's singing of desire
And I'm watching everything you do
Hey!
Let's make a love impact
With hard hard kisses
And a cruel attraction
Let's watch our love implode
We're two near misses
On a dangerous road
We've gotta go slow
You've an acetone smile
And you curl it in style
Baby night eyes
Stone, stoned look
You're a mystery book
Baby night eyes
Troubled and shined
I've a diamond in mind
Baby night eyes
You're a scorpion sting
A little dragon with wings
Baby night eyes
Don't shut your mind
Because if you do you'll find
I'll be standing right behind
And I won't be very kind
To you
For a rainbow of gold
I'll be standing in the cold
I'll be waiting to be told
'Cause I've gone and sold my love to you
Yes I have
Hey!
Let's make a love impact
With hard hard kisses
And a cruel attraction
It's all gone hazy, love's gone crazy
It's all gone crazy, love's gone crazy
You kissed my grateful skin
And left a chain of bites and bruises
I'm sorry when you grin
Almost diamonds for the losers
I'll swim inside your tears
And wander through your rooms of silence
The motive crystal clear
Your tongue is love
And your heart is violence
Almost Diamonds
Scratched perfection
Almost diamonds
Tears in glycerine
I spied you kissing her
You faked your love
My broken brother
Everybody burn
Secrets spill and smiles are smothered
You have to roll the dice
Pain is two
And fire is sixes
Vengeance feels nice
I know the shine
Behind your tricks is
Almost diamonds
Scratched perfection
Almost diamonds
Tears in glycerine
Who would have thought
It would end like this
You gave a stranger
A dangerous kiss
Now your pretty eyes
Say these precious lies
We're just beautiful imitations
They were
Almost diamonds
Scratched perfection
Almost diamonds
Tears in glycerine
Catch our teardrops
As they fall
You know we nearly
Had it all
Fallen tears of glycerine
Gone is all of what we dream
Almost diamonds
Scratched perfection
Dark reflections
Love won't find us
There are many who have laid with me
Then got up and walked away from me
And played around with me like I was a game
Every night was a one night fling
When I'd given them everything
They never even asked me for my name
God they never even asked me for my name
Now I've found real love
Make no mistake about it
Now that I feel love
I just can't live without it
So if you love me
The way I love you
Why can't we spend our lives as one
My reputation was all over town
As a woman who was passed around
I knew every wrong way to go
Seen every room with a bed inside it
And every habit I've tried, I tried it
But from now on I say hell no
No but from now on I say hell no
Now I've found real love
Make no mistake about it
Now that I feel love
I just can't live without it
So if you love me
The way I love you
Why can't we spend our lives as one
In the pulsing of the womb
Waits the unborn prince of evil :
Eyes ablaze with the light of unchained anguish seething
Waits and bides timeless time to rip open vibrant stillborn
Crying, help me to tear free like the wolf
In the night bays hungry.
Slides is tongue across grim and greening teeth
He moves in the night
With shadows,
Smiles as friend
Touch a lover too
He takes him the child to kiss him.
There's a curtain coming down over memory
And silent, the stage glares empty ;
And the blood tide, on the bitter shore,
Sweeps over the mind till morning.
I will never love again
I will never ever
Sometimes I feel high
Sometimes I feel so unbelievably down
It's nothing to do with pleasure or pain
No it works its way up
From the pit of my groin
Sometimes I feel high
Something shoots-out with an aching and burning
Throws me to the wall
High
Over you fall
What's gone wrong with my heart
It seems to beat the wings of evil
Screaming it's loudest when I want to keep quiet
It's shouting out loud
Here is me
Here I am
Take me now
And sometimes it doesn't beat a sound
Sometimes when it rains
I have the urge to break the windows
I put my wrist out to the air
Live long live
I would do almost anything
To rid myself of you forever
I would succumb
To thoughts that verge on maim and murder
No-one can hold me
No-one ever holds me down
Light my lantern
My free heart
Buried six feet underground (x2)
I could despise you
It only rots of sickly pity
Stagnates for who ?
For me or for you ?
I could kill myself
I really have not much to give you
Parchment transparent
You can see right through (x2)
Blood and tongue damn swollen
My mouth makes promises never kept
If only I'd kill you
Sent you to heaven while you slept
While you slept (x5)
But our love won't die
Our love won't ever die
It'll never die
Never (x3)
He woke to the sound of the birds in the morning
Felt charged with a new lease of life
Time to break out of his present surroundings
A mother, a child and a wife
He'd not said good-bye to his last thread of childhood
It lay just beyond his front gate
So he packed just a few things
And he packed in his job
And he prayed he'd not left it too late
He turned and he said
"Well we always have time,
Time on our side
And there's time for this boy to turn back"
Joy held his heart
As he took to the road
Cast all his sorrow
To the breeze
Knew in his heart
It was the right thing to do
For he had to search out
His belief
Spring came and fall went
The year ran away
Love, hate and heartache ran too
Felt himself drift
Into memories of home
And the loneliness he lived on through
He turned and he said
"Well we always have time,
Time on our side
And there's time for this boy to turn back"
And he'd learnt about life
But he'd lost out on love
He was no longer only a boy
There were lines on his face
From the sun and the wind
But no lines there through
Laughter or joy
Shoes full of holes
But with fire in his soul
He walked down the dirt beaten track
Mother was gone
But his wife and child were living on
And they cried
"It's the boy who came back"
Goodbye through the evening
Goodbye through the night
Goodbye through the dreams
Through the sleep
Goodbye to our yesterdays
Hello tomorrow
It seems we were destined to meet
He turned and he said
"Well we always have time,
Time on our side
She was always alone
Kept herself under lock and key
Just her sorrows for all to see
She would break up and cry for me
Throw her away
Blow the ash from the ashtray
Leave her alone to play
Leave her alone to pray
And now you wonder why
I put out the flame to die
I'll hold on to my mystery
Secrets that make up me
In what's real and fantasy
Tenderness is a weakness
It tears down your fortresses
Makes you easy access
Tenderness is a weakness
It makes you so vulnerable
He was always alone
Told me he liked it best that way
Just a victim of circumstance
Just a loser who'd lost his chance
Truth, love and lies
They were all and the same to him
But he'd never given in
To the ultimate sin
And now you wonder why
I put out the flame in my eyes
I'll hold on to my mystery
Secrets that make up me
In what's real and fantasy
Tenderness is a weakness
It tears down your fortresses
Makes you easy access (and I guess that)
Tenderness is a weakness
It makes you so vulnerable
To that sick dangerous feeling
We all know as love
I cried for you
I even lied for you
I died a thousand times for you
I committed endless crimes for you
I sold my soul to some Devil
To do with what he will
Now I'll lock up my heart
And throw away the key
Love have no part in my destiny
Split lip
It seems you need another
Split lip
Shut you mouth
Your noisy mouth
Before I put a fist in it
Face hit
Split lip
You talk and talk and talk
But its all mouth
And no hands at all
Just jealousy at its darkest green
Destroying all your picture dreams
Split lip
Keep your cool
In the bad school
Pieces of flotsam and jetsam
Backlash hit me
And all the rest of them
Split lip
I'd like to be the one
That teaches you a lesson
You deserve
You haven't heard
Split lip!
C'mon and hit me!
Gimme a split lip
Split lip
I'll shoot you from the hip
Split lip
I'll strike you down
When you're not looking
Split lip
So they say
"Forgive, forget"
Forget what?
Forget me not
But it's more fun
To hit back
With a Split lip
Pieces of flotsam and jetsam
And all the ragged rest of them
Split lip
And it seems sick lie
My devotion
You and I , emotion
Oh try to kiss me kill me
Kiss me kill me
I'll shoot you from the hip
{suck on this}
Blood drenched
Blood-soaked
Seed choked
Muscle wrenched out
Slit slipped
Knuckle wrapped
Fist fried
Tongue-tied
Slit slipped
Cracked whip
Low slung
Limp-hung
Thigh torn
Heart bled
Raw red
Heat horn
Caught between two love affairs
I brush my teeth and comb my hair
My lonely neighbour called today
And asked me, has he gone away
I lied to her like I lied to him
I lie to myself about everything
Love, what is love?
Love, what is love?
Love is a time
Love is a place
Love is a season
Love is a case of love
Love is a time
Love is a place
Love is a season
Love is a case of love
And so my life repeats itself
Like rhythms in a drum machine
The one who was the one to come
And all of those who might have been
I cry for them like I cry for him
I cry to myself about everything
Love, what is love?
Love, what is love?
Love is a fever
Love is a dream
Sometimes so hard, it can make you scream
Love is a liar
Love can be cruel
Love is an icon, love is a jewel
They let you down
They leave you standing in the rain
They take the joy and leave the pain
Caught between two love affairs
Is it true that no one really cares
My lonely neighbour leaves today
And no one comes to take her place
I lied to her like I lied to him
Now they're gone can I lie about anything
What is love?
Love, what is love? Love, what is love? Love, what is love?
There's a colour TV in the pink shack
But the paint's peelin' off the walls
Take a sneaky photo by the pink shack
In a pair of muddy overalls
Pay a ragged dollar for my snapshot mister
Put a big grin on my face
Call "Hey, Sonny!" from your door, Chiquita
If the colour isn't to your taste
She's callin' out to me
Now she's bawlin' out to me
And she's singin' right out of key
"Oh, lover man where can you be?"
Lost little orphans on the roadside
On the steps of the Roach Motel
Little faces flicker in the go-go neon
Seems they've got something to sell
Take my photograph for a dollar mister
Up against the pink shack wall
Call "Hey, Sonny!" from your door Chiquita
Throw tequila kisses to us all
She's callin' out to me
And it's only half past three
She's callin' out to me
"Lover man where can you be?"
She's callin' out to me
Now she's bawlin' out to me
And she's singin' right out of key
"Oh, lover man where can you be?"
There's room enough for two in the pink shack
With a black rat on my knee
Backroom tequila in the bathroom
And a soapbox colour TV
Cockroaches crawlin' round the pink shack
But please don't crawl on me
Five in a bed in the pink shack
But there's really only room for three
She's callin' out to me
And it's only half past three
And she's singin' right out of key
"Oh, lover man where can you be?"
She's calling out to me
And she's bawling out to me
And she's singing right out of key
"Oh, lover man where can you be"
Ah well!
Don't you worry 'bout Joey
Joey he have a nine life
Don't you worry 'bout Joey
Joey he have a nine life
Joey he like a cat
(always lands on his feet)
Joey he like a cat (MEOW)
(Always lands on his feet)
Joey he hang around a rubbish heap
Making small talk with the flies
Joey he hang around a rubbish heap
Making small talk wid' de flies
Ca va?
Well now Joey he run around lighting
bonfires under cars
Joey he run around lighting
bonfires under cars
He rides the wheel of a

She cries
JOEY, JOEY, JOEY, JOEY, JOEY

Joey sick of Kristina
Light a bonfire under her
Now Joey going to get a gun POW

Now Joey going to get a gun POW

Sitting on the kerb
You wipe the tears away again
The gutter holds your sallow hearts
That wash down with the rain
Barbed and brittle hands that push
The hair out of your eyes
Pavement fires a-flicker
Like a host of fire flies
My song calls from the gutter
And the gutter sings to me
A roundabout of down and outs
In cardboard box city
My song calls from the gutter
And the gutter sings to me
A roundabout of down and outs
A dark cacophony
The wolven of the orphan gangs
Take turns to search and steal
They splash about the puddles
And are trodden under heel
They bathe their pearly faces
In the lights of Chinatown
And they lick their pearly fingers
When the street lamps flicker down
My song calls from the gutter
And the gutter sings to me
A roundabout of down and outs
In cardboard box city
My song calls from the gutter
And the gutter sings to me
A roundabout of down and outs
A dark cacophony
All night I've been up
With the bitterest of thoughts
I can't seem to throw
All my cares to the wind
Makes me sleep feverish
Makes me sleep scared
Pillow of secrets
I love you when you're black and blue
I love you when you're sad
Love like sparks flies out of you
The best love that I ever had
Could this be a crime
To feel so sublime?
My heart cries like the sea at night
For love crimes thrown away
And though I pray with all my might
I know you'll never, ever stay
Could this be a crime
To feel so sublime?
Come to me my pale face baby
Come to me and don't be pale
Just two minutes silence
For my dead heart
Could this be a crime
Sometimes we touch
Sometimes we kiss
Sometimes we just look
In spiritual bliss
In warmth or heat
In sound or vision
We like to come
To some decision
Under the moon
In the dark
Down in the street
In the park
In threat of law
In sweat of fear
I'd risk it all
To have you near
I've never seen your face
But I'm longing for the time
When we don't have to hide
Anymore
We'd swap phone numbers
But we'd never call
Of real excuses
We've none at all
Though good intentions
Are on our mind
We may not like
What we might find
We hold emotion
Well in check
No words of love
Just words of sex
So much to say
So much held back
We don't surrender
We just attack
I've never seen your face
But I'm longing for the time
When we don't have to hide
Anymore
Light the candle
Burn a fuse
It's now or never
Win or lose
To have and hold
To give and take
Through thick or thin
Make or break
I've never seen your face
But I'm longing for the time
When we don't have to hide
Anymore
Love
Is a beautiful brutal thing
It sings at night like the wind
It stings your heart like a whip
It rocks your soul like a ship
And love
Is a beautiful brutal thing
It can mean everything
Or nothing at all
Such a feeling can make you tall
Or as small as a distant star
It's the cushion to break your fall
Love triumphs over all
Love
Is a beautiful brutal thing
And it gives the sweetest of pain
It wakes your spirit and then
You feel like living again
And rain
Falls when you think the Sun
Has just begun
To shine above
And love
Is mysterious as it's old
It's the secret you've never told
It's the tears of sorrow and joy
For that girl or that boy
It makes you feel
It makes you feel
It makes you feel
A beautiful brutal thing
And love
Is a beautiful brutal thing
It can mean everything
Or nothing at all
Such a feeling could make you tall
Or as small as a distant star
It's the cushion to break your fall
Love triumphs over all
It makes you feel
A beautiful brutal thing
Moonbathe skin
Moonbathe skin
Of the people of the dark
Will your beauty draw me in
Will you hustle with my heart
In the ether of the dusk
Where deceit takes over trust
Will you hustle with my heart
And give me gold that only rusts
Every evening
I'm following an echo
D'un chanson de Juliette Greco
Calls out to the loser in my soul
Moonbathe skin
So pale and so cold
Moonbathe skin
So pale and so cold
Slay me with your golden smile
You who never sees the sun
Though your words are volatile
There's no bullets in your gun
And before the kiss of day
Loves undertaker comes my way
And I lose myself in you
In your eyes of bitter blue
Every evening
I'm following an echo
D'un chanson de Juliette Greco
Calls out to the loser in my soul
Moonbathe skin
So pale and so cold
Moonbathe skin
So pale and so cold
And with all the makeup gone
And tomorrow looking on
Will your beauty still define
Something that forever shines
Following the bruises up your arm
And the circles round your eyes
In the shadows where you live
Where the sun will never rise
Every evening
I'm following an echo
D'un chanson de Juliette Greco
Calls out to the loser in my soul
Moonbathe skin
So pale and so cold
Moonbathe skin
So pale and so cold
Moonbathe skin
So pale and so cold
Moonbathe skin
So pale and so cold
Dancer to a dangerous rhythm
You know you're never gonna be forgiven
Chancer so many near misses
I'm still tripping on your absinthe kisses
Intoxicating and exotic
Dancer you're my sweet narcotic
You're burning in my primitive heart
Dancer
You're burning in my primitive heart
Dancing to the rhythm of my falling tears
Dancing to the beating of my broken heart
So sweet the pain and pleasure
Move for move measure for measure
Dark horse so surreal satanic
Dancer dreamer you're a free spirit
You're burning in my primitive heart
Dancer
You're burning in my primitive heart
Dancer you gave me a wicked path to follow
Dark thrills but bitter pills to swallow
Strange one I don't know what to believe
Are you a nail in my coffin
Or a card up my sleeve
You're burning in my primitive heart
Dancer
You're burning in my primitive heart
So dancer lights camera action
You're gonna be my main attraction
You've gotta keep me coming back for more
Dancer just another encore
Dancer
(burning in my primitive heart)
You're a dancer
(burning in my primitive heart)
You're a chancer

You're gonna burn burn burn burn burn
Burn burn burn burn burn
(burning in my primitive heart)
You're a dancer

Romancer

A dancer

Dancer
Burning in my primitive heart
You and I
Were born to cry
Always seem
To be saying goodbye
You and I
Were born to lose
You and I
Were born to bruise
Don't smile tonight
You're the same as I
Don't say a word
Just dry your tears
And say goodbye
You and I
Were born to strive
We always struggle
But we always survive
You and I
Were born to hurt
We always seem
To be kissing the dirt
Don't smile tonight
You're the same as I
Don't say a word
Just dry your tears
And say goodbye
You and I
Were born in strife
Losers in
The game of life
You and I were born
Under a bad sign
Dealt a bad hand and cursed
By the evil eye
Don't smile tonight
You're the same as I
Don't say a word
Just dry your tears
We were born to lose
Born to bruise
Born to hurt
Born in dirt
Born to strive
Born to survive
Born to cry
So say goodbye
Just say goodbye
Born to Cry
Born to Cry
Born to Cry
The house is haunted
By the echo of your last goodbye
The house is haunted
By the memories that refuse to die
I can't get away from the vision that brings
Intimate glimpses of intimate things
A voice in my heart like a torch singer sings
I wonder who's kissing you now
The house is haunted
By the echo of your favourite song
The place is cluttered up
With memories that have lived too long
Much too long
The ceilings are white but the shadows are black
The ghost in my heart says
You'll never come back
The house is haunted
By the echo of your last goodbye
I'll never forget you
The house is haunted
Somewhere deep in the scarlet city
A million dreams are not enough
I'm knee deep in fallen women
Being alone in the scarlet city
Can be tough
Call me romantic
Call me deluded
I'd give you anything you asked
Just for a second of your time
I could be your guardian angel
When it comes to pleasure
I could be your guide
Call me romantic
Call me deluded
Well I've seen the sights of New York
I've seen day become night
I've seen the Brooklyn Bridge
All covered in lights
I've dived to the depths
I've scaled the heights
Call me romantic
Call me deluded
I've had it all
But I'll give you the most valuable thing in the world
I'll give you my very last pearl
I'll give you the most magical thing in the world
I'll give you my very last pearl
For this could be the magic
This could be the magic
This could be the magic
The very last pearl
Make a wish on the
Very last pearl in the world
The very last pearl
Somewhere deep in the scarlet city
Waits the key to all my dreams
You're the cure for someone jaded
Someone jaded, someone just like me it seems
Call me romantic
Call me deluded
I want to be your angel
I want to be your angel
Call me romantic
Call me deluded
I've seen a Mediterranean night
The ships on the sea
The most beautiful eyes in the world
And the saddest eyes in the world
Call me romantic
Call me deluded
But I didn't care at all
But I'll give you the most valuable thing in the world
I'll give you my very last pearl
I'll give you the most magical thing in the world
Lying in her own asylum
Love has her in an endless coma
Tear marked pillows
Broken china
Things they say that love is made of
Wet and strewn
She lies sedated
Wrenched with arms and legs akimbo
Locked up in her own asylum
Locked up in love's endless limbo
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
Locked up in her own asylum
Feeling so ashamed and crazy
Lets the other inmates touch her
Touch intimate places on her
Love has her in a sea of vitriol
Tear marked pillows
Broken china
Things they say that love is made of
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
Swollen tongued and swimming eyes
Smiles but never ever smiles
Can't sleep at night for endless wailing
Weeping, wailing, howling
Love's shuddering howl
Love's shuddering howl
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
If she can hoodwink the doctor
She'll get out for good behaviour
She'll get out for good
Locked up in her own asylum
Love has her on her knees
Locked up in her own asylum
Love has her on her knees
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
The flesh is willing but the spirit is weak
Skin and bone
Hot and cold
Brazen brave
Brain and brawn
Push 'n' shove
Slick 'n' slow
Broken home
Love and you
You and me
Soft and sound
Smile and cry
Touch and go
Sad and slow
Break and bold
Wild and wound
Sleep and sound
Have and hold
Have and hold
Well now I've been on my own for many a year
Seems like I'll never get loved
Got me a hand on this brother of mine
And I'm gonna get me the rub
Turn me the lights down to a purple glow
Put Bessie Smith on the wail
Bring me the five young daughters
And help my ship to set sail
Mother Fist never gets angry
Mother Fist she never gets bored
I don't have to feed her
I just have to need her
She cries give me the word
When I'm downtown in Barcelona
When I'm pissed or when I'm pissed off
Mother Fist just gives me her tender kiss
And some of her sexy stuff
And I lock my door from the inside
Turn my mind to sweet sweet pain
And I wail just like Yma Sumac
Mother Fist she never complains
Mother Fist never gets angry
Mother Fist she never gets bored
I don't have to feed her
I just have to need her
She cries give me the word
Now I don't care if I'm in a prison
In confinement solitary
A soldier lost in the legion
Or a sailor out on the sea
A beggar, thief or a rich man
A gunman mercenary
A one legged crook
An Armenian cook
As long as my mother's with me
Mother Fist never gets angry
Mother Fist she never gets bored
I don't have to feed her
I just have to need her
Every morning
Now I pray
The phantom pains
Not to come again
A million tears
To slip away
And take the vessel
Of my blame
We have got to brave the storm
The people who do us harm
I will never walk alone
The pavement of this bitter town
Us forever breaking hearts
Breaking rules and making fools
Forever having have to hold
The key that takes me to your soul
Always feel the loner
On the outside looking in
Always fall the victim
Of the seven deadly sins
Saviour, Sinner, Dreamer, Fool
They howl from the balconies
I just have to laugh and say
Well this is my kind of ecstasy
Us forever breaking hearts
Breaking rules and making fools
Forever having have to hold
The key that takes me to your soul
Smiles may come and go
But how I love you when you cry
Baby you're the arrow
Through the apple of my eye
Us forever breaking hearts
Breaking rules and making fools
Forever having have to hold
The key that takes me to your soul
To your soul
Once in a night
I spent in Istanbul
I had a dream of a forbidden world
Where even angels
Fear to look upon
A place where all of love is doomed to die
Her face appeared
Through clouds of bitter wine
Sour as the morning's early hours
She took my hair
And she curled it around
Her fingers
I was but a fool for love
The scent of Turkish oils
Mixed with the harsh tobacco
In the overcrowded bar
Hashish
And cool mint in her hair
I was a fool for love
I was a fool
She sang to me
A torch song softly laced
With mysteries Arabian
It poisoned my mind
A sickness in my soul
I tried
I didn't want to hear at all
A curtain fell
Before my eyes I did
Succumb into her healing breast
She sang that song
I gave her all my soul
And my all
To the pleasures of the flesh
I cried that night
For those forsaken times
Those times when I was
Simply satisfied
I turned to dust
That night a thousand times
That night a thousand times I died inside
And through what's left
Of my sad life I hear
Her singing in the fevers of the night
Look into the mirror of my eyes
And tell me what you see
It's not your love I need
You'll see
Sorrow, tears and darkness
These are the pleasures
Beyond your dreams
I found myself
Down by the sea
A hundred years ago
When I was in my teens
And years go by
I turned into a man
My childhood trapped within the sand
I crawled through life
On broken glass through hell
It seems I wakened my desires
And woke one day
Wet with the sweat of fear
Wet with the sweat of fear
As now with you
I'll reveal your mother
Come to me
I'll take you to the safety of the womb
Tell me your secrets
Sorrow tears and darkness
Pour out your heart
Sorrow tears and darkness
You'll be a fool
A fool for love
And hell had never seemed so good
As when I lost my soul
Became a fool for love
Help me, please to find my way
Look into the mirror of my eyes
Your kiss has clouded up my mind
And tell me what you see
I was a fool, a fool for love
It's not your love I need
I cried for those forsaken times
You'll see
She took my soul in Istanbul
Sorrow tears and darkness
She left me on that night to die
These are the pleasures beyond your dreams
These are the pleasures beyond all my dreams
I am lost
Help me to find my way
Here in a world where angels fear to gaze
My love is doomed to die
Alone tonight in Istanbul
And I a fool
Love
Come into the scarlet bedroom
And maybe spend the night
Sink amongst the satin sheets
In dissolute delight
Just a little touch of sadness
A little a second sight
Come into my world of madness
Come and spend the night it's truly
Star spangled fabulous lover
In the red bedroom
In the dead bedroom
Gonna open up your eyes to a little life
Come and try something delicious
Prepare for your demise
Never ever repetitious
Always a surprise
For a little touch of darkness
You can see the light
Call me cruel and call me heartless
But please call me tonight
It's truly
Star spangled fabulous lover
In the red bedroom
In the dead bedroom
You want be getting out alive
Come into my Burlesque show
You're gonna be in the show
It's going to be monumental
Come and be my movie star
You can do the striptease
In my new continental
Hot blue movie
We could film it in my Scarlet Bedroom
Try a little tender moment
But don't let it suffice
Why be happy with vanilla
When you can have the spice
Sugar coated innocence
Is something not too nice
Call me cruel and call me callous
But please call me tonight
It's truly
Star spangled fabulous lover
In the red bedroom
In the dead bedroom
Gonna open up your mind
In the red bedroom
Lonely go-go dancer
Dancing in crazy foam
Surrounded by your acolytes
But going home alone
When did you last see
A sun-drenched afternoon
When did the morning light
Last invade your room?
Disguise your nightlife pallor
With a tan from a machine
Behind your ears
A sticky scent
Of decadence and dreams
We all adore
Your sequinned smile
Revolving in your cloud of blue
Untouchable to anyone
Anyone but you
Lonely go-go dancer
On your revolving stage
Spinning super nova
Of the glamour age
When did you last feel
The brush of a lovers kiss
Someone who wants you for you
Is it love you miss
As you dance with dreaming eyes
Sleeping deep
With eyes awake
Thinking of a future
And the money you may make
We all adore
Your sequinned smile
Revolving in your cloud of blues
Untouchable to anyone
Anyone but you
Lonely go-go dancer
Crying softly to yourself
Why is one so beautiful
Left upon the shelf
Who gave you a face of angels
Dizzy with aspirations
Tied you with limitations
To a life of youth and beauty
Cruel desires
To be a singer
Fires that burn to be an actor
But with no voice
Or expression
Youre trapped with your nightlife profession
Lonely go-go dancer
Share a little
Of your art
Give your body
Give your beauty
But most of all
Your heart
We all adore
Your sequinned smile
Revolving in your cloud of blue
Untouchable to anyone
Over there
In the cold
Stands the Hustler
His eyes are old
He has seen a million ugly scenes
Places where men droop with mould
The backrooms
Where soiled goods are sold
Seen with opened eyes since frail fifteen
He has found it hard at first
But on his brow there sits a curse
For when the young must suffer
At the hands of men
Memories of Christmas past
Were never there to ever last
Things as were can never
Be again
Over there
By the wall
Stands the Hustler
He's not very tall
He's trampled by the jaded by the sly
He's seen the darker side of men
First fascinated and then
He found his urge to laugh
An urge to cry
He'll find close friends
No friend at all
He feels so lonely, tired and small
How few are chosen from
The golden call
There's something in us all it seems
To crave adventure
Hunt for dreams
But corruption the seducer spoils our schemes
And surely as the snow will melt
The Hustler
Grabs his soul and heads for home
With lessons learnt under his belt
Over there
By the wall
Stands the Hustler
With the men of law
On either side to flank the sallow youth
But some of us will never learn
It takes the blow of fists to burn
Heart in velvet
Heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Put it in your pocket
Take it out each evening
Kiss it and love it
Wrap my heart in velvet
Save it for tomorrow
When you're feeling sad
Let it help you through your sorrow
Wrap my heart in velvet
Keep it safe from danger
Let it be your friend
When you feel like a stranger
And if you love me
Wrap my heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Hide it safely away
And save it for a rainy day
Wrap my heart in velvet
Seal my soul in silk
Cover my kisses in satin
Put them in a box for a rainy day
Wrap my heart in velvet
Let it be your treasure
Let it give you the warmth
That only love can measure
Wrap my heart in velvet
Let it be a token
For the many times
Your poor heart was broken
Wrap my heart in velvet
Till its fully grown
There may be a moment
That you lose your own
And if you love me
Wrap my heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Hide it safely away
And save it for a rainy day
Wrap my heart in velvet
Keep it in the cool and shade
Let it hold the tears
For the mistakes you made
Wrap my heart in velvet
For no more I'll need it
Keep it like a child
Nurture and feed it
Wrap my heart in velvet
Keep it near you when your sleeping
Let it be the vessel
For the love you're keeping
And if you love me
Wrap my heart in velvet
Wrap my heart in velvet
Hide it safely away
And save it for a rainy day
And don't hurt my heart
Please don't hurt my heart
Then you'll never see my cry
You'll never see me die
When bad people kiss
It's an ocean unchained
When bad people kiss
It's passion inflamed
When bad people kiss
I'm feeling the thrill
When bad people kiss
I'm kissing you still
When bad people kiss
It's the devil's desire
When bad people kiss
Like a city on fire
When bad people kiss
It's a poisonous pill
When bad people kiss
I'm kissing you still
When we love
We love with a passion
That's dark with a sin
As deep as the sea
Jealousy cruelty
Obsession desire
It's pure evil
When you're kissing me
When bad people kiss
The thunder sheds tears
When bad people kiss
It's night with its fears
When bad people kiss
It's kissing to kill
When bad people kiss
I'm kissing you still
When we love
We love with a passion
That's as dark with a sin
As deep as the sea
Jealousy cruelty
Obsession desire
It's pure evil when you're kissing me
When bad people kiss
The planets collide
When bad people kiss
It's slow suicide
When bad people kiss
I submit to your will
When bad people kiss
I'm kissing you still
I'm kissing you still
He lives inside me
Secret....small...intrusive
Sometimes he steals
My dreams
Closing my eyes, I see him
Running, falling on a beach
Where the sea is always blue
He collects the sea shells
To build me castles in the air
And offer me wondrous journeys
He lives inside me
Secret....small...intrusive
Sometimes he steals
My dreams
His hair curly, and so soft
His two hands just like yours
No longer release what they hold
He brings me back to my springtime
And just the same as when you're glad
His eyes become colours of flowers
He lives inside me
Secret....small...intrusive
Sometimes he steals
My dreams
He lives inside me
Secret....small...intrusive
Sometimes he steals
My dreams
But when my eyes
Are sparkling from
The burning salts of sorrow
His become the black of the lost
I think he often sees this state
And from the deep within myself
Splashes the laughter of the child
He lives inside me
Secret....small...the child
If you go away
On this summer's day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
And the day was young
And the nights were long
The trees stood still for the night birds song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
And if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on the sun
I'll ride on the rain
I'll talk to the trees
And I'll worship the wind
But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
As I know you will
You must tell the world to stop turning , turning
Til you return again
If you ever do
For what good is love
Without loving you
Let me tell you now
As you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly
Til your next hello
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
But if you stay,
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on you smile
I'll ride on your touch
Oh, I'll talk to your eyes
How I love them so much
But if you go
I won't cry
For the good is gone
In the word "goodbye"
If you go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't leave me
I won't cry anymore
I won't talk anymore
I'll hide in your room
And I'll watch you
As you dance and you smile
And I'll listen a while
As you sing and you laugh
Please let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your had
The shadow of your glass
On this shadow of a man
Please don't leave me
Please stay
Please don't go away
And if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been
Or will be again
I'll sail on the sun
I'll ride on the rain
I'll talk to the trees
And I'll worship the wind
But if you go
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To fill up my hand
If you go away
Please don't go away
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Our friends, they are departing
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Death gallows our dulcine'es
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Other flowers try the best they can
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Men lament while women wail
I'm coming
I'm coming
But what I would have dearly loved once more
To haul my bones towards the sun, towards summer
Towards spring, towards tomorrow
I'm coming
I'm coming
But what I have dearly loved once more
To see if the river is still the river
To see if the port is still the port
To see me there still
I'm coming
I'm coming
But why me? Why already? Why now? Where to go?
I'm coming
Of course I'm coming
Have I ever done anything but be coming?
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Each time all solitary
From chrysanthemums to chrysanthemums
Each time super numerary
I'm coming
I'm coming
But what I would have dearly loved once more
To take love like one takes the train to be more alone
To be elsewhere. to be content.
I'm coming
I'm coming
But what I would have dearly loved once more
To fill a trembling body with stars
And fall down dead consumed with passion
My heart in ashes
I'm coming
I'm coming
It's not you who is early
It's now me...It's now me who is late
I'm coming
Of course I'm coming
Have I ever done anything......anything but be coming?
I'm coming
I'm coming
I remember the sea I remember
How I thought she would sing forever
Though her voice it became a whisper
But the sea still sings in her heart
To the furthest shores of Alaska
From the bow of a floundering tanker
Her shores in eternal winter
But the sea still sings in her heart
She waits for the moment
So still and alone
On her shoreline a necklace of feather and bone
No laughter of children
Where nothing will grow
But the sea still sings
The sea still sings
The sea still sings in her heart
I remember the sea, I remember
How she rose in a terrible temper
On a stormy night in September
How the sea still sings in her heart
Taking back all her stolen treasure
Giving back all our waste with a pleasure
Hand in hand with a furious weather
How the sea still sings in her heart
No longer distraught and no longer alone
She took all our shorelines and made them her own
Drowned all the people asleep in their homes
The sea still sings
The sea still sings
The sea still sings in her heart
The mermaids were singing a warning
The mermen were teasing and taunting
The sirens a song that was haunting
Tearing each ship from its mooring
And the sea shed her black coat of mourning
I remember the sea I remember
The stillness and calm of the water
And a song that went on forever
The sea still sings
The sea still sings
The sea still sings
The sea still sings in her heart
In a Byzantine harem
Where, seeking paradise,
I'd disguised myself as a dog,
A slave told me:
Me, I'd like heavy pearls
Enamelled black pearls
To be dumb, and almost deaf
So that you'd soothe me with words
Words which resemble the sea
Words that one sees through
Words of bitterness and love
Tender words, severe words
Me, I'd like crowded rooms
Where stretched out naked on all fours
Encircled by dogs and chains
Tasting mysterious liquors
Drinks of life and drinks of death
Cups filled to the brim
I place my moist and eager lips
On the kneeling stools therein
Me I'd like a black slave
With the white teeth, strong and cruel
Who'd split my shackles wide
And who'll take me to the sky
In the damp languor of evening
Me all white, and he all black
He'd bite my body, sliding
With a serpent slow...attack
Me, I'd like to be a young woman
Behind glass and iron bars
As pleasure takes my every breath
Until sleep, until death
Beneath my purple-blue eyelids
You know, I have only one thought
To be a woman, yes, it's true
To be a real woman
Hail Hail the Idol
Hail Hail the Idol
Idol be bad
Idol be wild
Martyr your heart
Father a love child
We need all your kinks
And your dark attitude
We live on your sins
And your volatile moods
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
You're a pop up poster of a teenage dream
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
A fur inferno on a twisted scene
Go for the gold
Never grow old
In the bed or the car
It's the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don't try to mend
All gods fall in the end
Hail Hail the Idol
Hail Hail the Idol
We loved you in black
We adored you in pink
Up in the dock
Or drowned in the drink
Wrapped up in foil
Anointed in oil
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
Rip out your soul as you're playing the role
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
Nail up your hands to fulfil our demands
Go for the gold
Never grow old
In the bed or the car
It's the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don't try to mend
All gods fall in the end
Sweet crucifixion
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
Watch them turn cold as you start to grow old
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
Vinyl to burn as the crowd starts to turn
Go for the gold
Never grow old
In the bed or the car
It's the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don't try to mend
All gods fall in the end
Be what you are
In the bed or the car
In the bath or the bar
It's the end of the star
Burn yourself out
Do yourself in
Don't try to mend
All gods fall in the end
Fail Fail the Idol
Fail Fail the Idol
Fail Fail the Idol
Fail Fail the Idol
All gods fall in the end
Valentino the sheik was the God of them all
But his macho was dented and he took a fall
Garland sang tragedy touching our hearts
But her life was a tragedy more than her art
Fabian and Avalon gold lamed and cute
Kissed fickle fame and went straight down the chute
Elvis the cat loved us tender with youth
But what we were seeing was never the truth
Just wanted to sing but fame made its demands
And died while still young trying to please all his fans
James was a rebel that stood for an age
A drink and a drive and then death took the stage
Poor Billie Holliday paid all her dues
When her close friend the needle gave her the blues
Janis at night cruised for boys on the strip
But death by the bottle is what made her hip
Marylin's beauty showed age every day
But her sinister end helped her keep age away
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
We love you, we love you
Brian Jones had an aura that Mick soon would crave
But pills and a pool set the scene for the grave
Jim lived his life to put edge to his songs
But he died in the bath to reach where he belongs
Jimi played notes that were all heaven-sent
But the drink and the drugs made sure that's where he went
Osmond and Cassidy records all gold
But they made the mistake of growing too old
Bolan got fat was not pleasant to see
But we loved him again when he met with a tree
Kurt was unhappy with fame and success
A gun in the mouth and one hell of a mess
And who will be next on the big cross of fame?
A white sequinned glove and a big famous name?
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
We hate you, we hate you
(Race of Abel)
Eat, sleep and drink
God smiles on you contentedly
(Race of Cain)
In filth and stink grovel
And die wretchedly
(Race of Abel)
Your sacrifice smells good
To an angel's nose
(Race of Cain)
What's the price
Of your torment and woes?
(Race of Abel)
Watch your seeds sprout
Your cattle grow fat
(Race of Cain)
Your guts plead
For hunger howls like a wild cat!
(Race of Abel)
Warm your insides
At the patriarchal fire
(Race of Cain)
In your dank hides poor jackals
Trembling and dire
(Race of Abel)
Make love and spawn
For your gold will likewise delight
(Race of Cain)
When your hearts burn
Watch out for such appetites
(Race of Abel)
Grow and graze
Devour the world like the pest
(Race of Cain)
Along rough ways
Drag your families in distress
(Race of Abel)
Your foul carcass
Will manure the reeking ground
(Race of Cain)
Up off your arse
Your work is once again found
(Race of Abel)
Here's your shame
The fire is vanquished by the rod
(Race of Cain)
Take up your claim
Well, I kicked on my mule to parade me
Everyone else laughed and betrayed me
They said, "You ain?t got the look and you ain?t got the size
And you sure look like a fairy with those sweet puffy eyes"
And you won?t
No, you won?t
No, you won?t
Get that load up stardom road
Well, there?s managers and producers
And all the queens you need
There?s [Incomprehensible] and there?s juices
And there?ll spaced out on speed
And when all the public see and when all the people stare
They say look at him riding his mule upstage
He ain?t going no where, no where
He ain?t got no, well, he ain?t got no highway fare
Well, I kicked on my mule and he obeyed me
Everyone else, they snubbed and delayed me
They said, "You ain?t got voice and you ain?t got the chords
And you?re living in bay's water on floorboards"
And you won?t
No, you won?t
No, you won?t
Take that load up stardom road
You?re nowhere, you ain?t got non'
You ain?t got no highway fare
No, you're nothing, you're no one, never gonna be anyone
You ain?t got nothing
And you won?t
No, you won?t
No, you won?t
And so they say they're leaving
While you sleep away the day
You go out every evening
Collecting waifs and strays
They follow their illusions
They don't know what to do
They need a clear direction
That's why they turn to you
You're pleading
Please don't leave me
Don't go from me so soon
I need to be found
For I'm a stray too
Don't go
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
On the streets of Paris
On the streets of Rome
They find a home
In shadow or in coffee bars
Down the winding alleys
Through the brightly lit arcades
No matter where they are
In and out of life they wander
Little waifs and strays
They stay until you fall in love
That's when they slip away
In the dark you'll see
Those sad brown eyes
Come shining through
Your heart will melt
You felt the way they looked at you
Don't go
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
You find you need someone
To love your days away
Just when your heart is crying out
Please stay, don't go away
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
Yes, it's true
The wind in my hair and the black in my eyes
I was holding back tears I was realing with surprise
With noone to phone I just chewed at the time
I was waving goodbye to take control of my mind
And the beat of my heart marks the passing of time
And I just want to scream at the sky
There's times when my mind was an explosion of feeling
I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside
I looked for your lies I play the game eyes
I couldn't find the way out, the wheres or the whys
Should I laught, should I cry,
Should I live, should I die?
This wild celebration caused feelings inside
And the beat of my heart marks the passing of time
And I just want to scream at the sky
There's times when my mind was an explosion of feeling
I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside
(Repeat several times)
It's a wild celebration of the feelings inside
And it's tearing me up...
Undress me
Undress me
But not right away
Not too fast, eh!
Can you crave for me?
Desire me?
Enthral me
Undress me
Undress me
But don't be like the first time
Or go too crazy
First look at the truth
Take time to proceed
Don't be uncouth
Or show your greed
Devour me with your eyes
But be cautious
I'll become ravenous
By and by
Undress me
Deshabillez moi
But not right away
Not too fast, eh!
Can you hypnotise me?
Envelop me?
Capture me
Undress me
Undress me
But with some tact
And be exact
And dextrous
Choose your words with care
Control yourself, be strict
Not too slow nor quick
On my skin
There that's it, I'm trembling
And offer much to your expert touch
Oh, come on!
Undress me
Deshabillez moi
I want it right away
Go faster, it's okay
Can you possess me?
Consume me?
Burn me...up!
Undress me
Undress me
Behave like a lover
And be a lover
Do it!
Undress me
come on, undress me
You make a fire
Here in my heart
Your kisses burn me
Sending sparks
Auras fade
Charisma pales
Your kisses burn
They scorch my soul
And world without end
Through tempest and storm
Your kisses my fire
Your love keeps me warm
When your kisses burn
Why are my lips like ice?
I'll make a fire
There in your heart
Made not of love
But only hate
And for the fuel
Will be your soul
An inferno
To consume you whole
And world without end
Through tempest and storm
My soul be your fire
To keep my heart warm
With my touch
I'll freeze your heart
Your kisses burn
The tides will turn
You brand your promise
On my tongue
I'll kill you
With this final fire
And lead you to
Your funeral pyre
And world without end
Through tempest and storm
My soul be your fire
To keep your/my heart warm
I will take your very soul
Your kisses my fire
Your love keeps me warm
Your kisses my fire
Your love keeps me warm
Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame
A thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years ran away
Yesterday when I was young
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me, me, me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
That never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay
Behind the dirt
Sprawled before us
Behind narrow eyes
And faces of fat
Beyond those hands
Opened or closed
That strain in vain
Nor raise thier fists
Further than frontiers
That barb our path
Further than misery
We must look
We must look at
What is beauty
The grey sky or blue
The women by the stream
The faithful friend
Tomorrow's sun
The fly to the swallow
The boat that returns
The faithful friend
Tomorrow's sun
The fly to the swallow
The boat that returns
Beyond the concert
Of sobbs and tears
Of cries of anger
Of men in fear
Beyond the din of
Streets and singers
Of warning sirens
Of swearing porters
Stronger than children
Who recount the wars
And stronger than
The great who've made us make them
We must listen to
The bird in the wood
THe murmer of summer
The rising of blood
THe mother soft songs
The childrens prayer
And the noise of the earth
Gently falling to sleep
THe mother soft songs
The childrens prayer
And the noise of the earth
Gently falling to sleep
We must listen
I've had my fill of ugly words
I've had my fill of lies
When the only truth or beauty now
Is deep within your thighs
The roses are in bloom my dear
I haven't any fear
That you'll love me
Like you did last year
Look at me
Do you see
A man against the world
But don't look at me
And see an unhappy man
With some powder and some paint
And the patience of a saint
I'm still here
My life's not over yet
I'm not up there on the shelf
I've found someone to love
Apart from just myself
I've had my fill of bitterness
I've had my fill of dirt
I've had enough of emptiness
I've had enough of hurt
I think we'll get the last laugh
If we don't break down and cry
And find the joke's
On you and I
Look at us
Do you see us in a burlesque show
Look at us are we in vaudeville
We've tasted every thrill
Every powder every pill
And we're still here
I've had enough of broken cups
I've had enough of scenes
Of other people's laughter
When we go through our routines
The lilies aren't in season
So I've no reason to fear
That you'll love me like you
Did last year
That you'll love me like you
Did last year
That you'll love me like you
Satin
Satin and velvet
Leather and lipstick
On the one that I love
Cheap gold
Chains made of cheap gold
Plastic and rhinestones
On the one that I love
My love
Acts like a porno star
Talks like a trickster
Works like a whore
By my love
Looks like an icon
And that's that I adore
Vinyl
Rubber and vinyl
Viscose and Velcro
On the one that I love
Purple
Week old mascara
Broken tiara
One the one that I love
My loves
Wakes up on vodka
Beds down on valium
Snorts coke off the floor
My love
Looks beautifully wasted
And that's what I adore
My love
Loves tattoos in biro
Love bites and lager
And long Menthol fags
My love
Smokes like Betty Davis
In short vicious drags
My love
Sleeps like an angel
Dreams like a devil
On sheets of velour
My love
Is a walking disaster
And that's
Oh yes that's
Oh I bet your life
You're sick of the sight
Of those eat in, take out, throw up pizza bars
Love's just got to pass your way in time
You smell of prison, smell of crime
I just didn't want to say I told you so
Someone called "Hey yesterday boy!"
Take your well worn body away from my sight
Friends run like rats from a sinking ship
Leaving you naked to the night
Now you're known as the last resort
By the vultures on the make
They say
'You have to eat the hamburger
To appreciate the steak'
You always feel the sting of words
As children are so cruel
They called you Ugly, Ugly Head
When you were at school
You've tried to make the best of things
But it seems you've given in
They call you Ugly, Ugly Head
Something makes you feel the living sin
Things must feel so insecure
When you're on your last legs
You're swimming in the coffee pot
Drowning in the dregs
But you haven't got the sense to die
(Or get a decent job)
To look into a mirror
Or at the very worst some kind of God
You need something to believe in
I just wish it was yourself
Try to summon up the guts
To rectify your ailing health
For there's something round the corner
Waiting just out of sight
That'll stop you feeling low and limp
And naked to the night
You always feel the sting of words
As children are so cruel
They called you Ugly, Ugly Head
When you were at school
You've tried to make the best of things
But it seems you've given in
They call you Ugly, Ugly Head
Something makes you feel the living sin
Ugly, Ugly, Ugly
Ugly, Ugly, Ugly
Ugly, Ugly, Ugly
You, unbelievably small
Bang your hands on the wall
Say "To Hell with them all"
Say "To Heaven with you"
Me, what will become of me?
Wading into the sea
Water way past my knees
Swallowing oceans is my speciality
You, like a trembling bird
Hanging on to each word
Crawling out of my sight
Oh how spite makes might
Me, crass stupidity's pawn
Kept us shouting till dawn
Old memories torn
Wishing I'd never been born
(You're losing it, losing it, losing it)
And you, Jack of Diamonds maybe
But the Ace ever me
With each turn of the card
Ever hardening heart
Me, smiling one moment
Crying the next
Building up to explosions
That leave me shipwrecked
You, stubborn brazen and wild
Unpredictable child
Emotional blackmail
Always destined to fail
(You're a failure in love, you're a failure in love)
Me, saying things I regret
I don't want to stop yet
Got to make you break down
Got to make you break uncontrollably down
You, rhinoceros skin
Never, never give in
Never, never giving
Hurts so to see me win
(You're always unforgivably stubborn)
Me, yes a cancer you tell
With the softest of shells
Always ending the same
Taking all of the blame
I'm taking all of the blame
(This is the last time
This is the last time)
Down by the river, foggy and grey,
Only a young girl kneeling to pray
Down in the water, muddy and cold,
Eyes red from crying. A torn, ragged soul.
Once so young and gay,
Once in dreams of yesterday.
Down by the river, foggy and grey,
Only an old tramp shuffles his way.
He saw that the water, that the water so wide
Held the young body of a love that had died.
Once so young and fair.
Once, and now despair.
Down by the reeds, they found him next day,
Dead like the young girl, in the water so grey.
That muddy old river took two of a kind,
A tramp and a young girl,
Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to be you?
And do the things you always do
Each time it hurts inside
The things you say
The games you play
Makes me feel like my heart had died
Just like my world fell in around me
Tears found me
Abandoned and they drowned me
Life is often a roller coaster ride
You slide
You hit the bottom hard
You have to run away and hide
But you gotta sit up
Shake yourself down
Start your life again
And see the funny side
Here's a little song
To help the pain along
Come on and sing now
Tragedy
Take a look and see
I'm laughing in the face of adversity
And like the need to sing a song
I need a little hurt to get along
Tragedy
Take a look and be
A survivor in the face of adversity
And like the need to sing a song
I need a little hurt to make me strong
I've tasted love
Love comes and goes
I've cried the tears
The tears have flowed
I felt the world had dragged me down
Not a single friend around
I needed time
I needed help
I had to find the strength myself
Sometimes I walked the path of regret
The sun came out shining
But I still got wet
I could have had a drink or two
A pill to numb the blues
But I hung on for the ride in time
To see the funny side
And now I sing
Tragedy
Take a look at me
I'm laughing in the face of adversity
And like the need to sing a song
I need a little hurt to get along
Tragedy
Take a look and be
A survivor in the face of adversity
And like the need to sing a song
