Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time
I against my troubles
I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance and while I'm
in the front
the play on time is won
but the difficulty is coming here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I wont tell you to stay
But I'm coming to much more
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
What if they came down crushing
Remember when I used to play for
all of the loneliness that nobody
notice now
I'm begging slow I'm coming here
Only waiting I wanted to stay
I wanted to play
I wanted to love you
I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads my way
I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head
Please, I wouldn't pass this by
I would take any more than
What sort of man goes by
I will bring water
Why wont you ever be glad
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
why wont you run
in the rain and play
let the tears splash all over you
In...an age...when peeeeeople say,..."I...can't face...another day."
A fourpenny bus ride can take
One hour away
Out of his life
'Cause Johnny's a worker;
He works from nine to five
And home to the wife
From his boring day
He is far away...
The same little bus ride
Provides him with a way
To face his day
From Tooting to Chiswick,
His mind is free to roam
Far from his home
In the land of smiles
He rides for miles and miles...
He looks out the window
And dreams of days in the past
He knew wouldn't last
The standing conductor is there,
Asks him for his fare
And gives him a stare
Millions every day
Have to get away...
So take a fourpenny bus ride to where
People don't stare
Or get in your hair
There' a million and one things to be
When you learn how
To be free
Living day to day,
Words and music by Sting
Turn on my V.C.R.
Same one I've had for years
James Brown on the Tammy show
Same tape I've had for years
I sit in my old car
Same one I've had for years
Old battery's running down
It ran for years and years
Turn on the radio
The static hurts my ears
Tell me where would I go
I ain't been out in years
Turn on the stereo
It's played for years and years
An Otis Redding song
It's all I own
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
Plug in my M.C.I
To excercise my brain
Make records on my own
Can't go out in the rain
Pick up the telephone
I've listened here for years
No one to talk to me
I've listened here for years
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When I feel lonely here
Don't waste my time with tears
I run 'Deep Throat' again
It ran for years and years
Don't like the food I eat
The cans are running out
Same food for years and years
I hate the food I eat
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around

Words and music by Sting
Voices inside my head
Echoes of things that you said
(etc.)
Words and music by Sting
How can you say that your not responsible?
What does it have to do with me?
What is my reaction, what should it be?
Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat
My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party
Seems that when some innocent die
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food
'Cause this is what we've seen
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through
What's to become of our world, who knows what to do
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
Driven to tears
[Lyrics NOT from DSSCTM'86 or "Every Breath"]
Words and music by Sting
Young teacher, the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking - she's so close now
This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabakov
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so
Don't stand so close to me
[Back:] (Please don't stand so close to me)

Words and music by Sting
Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
The only cheques I've left unsigned
>From the banks of chaos in my mind
And when their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
Poets, priests and poiticians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one's jamming their transmission
'Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
[De do do do, de da da da

Words and music by Sting
First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live you life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza
You're so afraid to catch a dose of influenza
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Now if I tell you that you suffer from delusions
You pay your analyst to reach the same conclusions
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
Canary in a coalmine
First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect
Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
Canary in a coalmine...
Music by Andy Summers
instrumental
You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they wouldn't teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name
But I know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition
I'll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue see behind me
Vanish in the air, you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
Then you will find your servant is your master
And you'll be wrapped around my finger
Another suburban morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustrations
But we know all her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take
Many miles away something crawls from the slime at the
Bottom of a dark Scottish lake
Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today
He doesn't think to wonder why
The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts on a red light street
But all he ever thinks to do is watch
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch
Many miles away something crawls to the surface of a dark Scottish lake
Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race
Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now looming in the headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache
Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the
Shore of a dark Scottish lake
Everyone I know is lonely and God's so far away
And my heart belongs to no one
So now sometimes I pray
Please take the space between us
And fill it up some way
Take the space between us and fill it up some way
O my God, you take the biscuit
Treating me this way
Expecting me to treat you well
No matter what you say
How can I turn the other cheek
It's black and bruised and torn
I've been waiting since the day that I was born
Take the space between us and fill it up some way
Take the space between us and fill it up some way
The fat man in his garden
The thin man at his gate
My God, you must be sleeping
Wake up, it's much too late
Take the space between us and fill it up some way
Take the space between us and fill it up some way
Do I have to tell the story of a thousand rainy days
Since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
With one breath, with one flow
You will know
Synchronicity
A sleep trance, a dream dance,
A shared romance
Synchronicity
A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectible
Yet nothing is invincible
If we share this nightmare
Then we can dream
Spiritus mundi
If you act as you think
The missing link
Synchronicity
We know you, they know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity
A star fall, a phone call
It joins all
Synchronicity
It's so deep, it's so wide
You're inside
Synchronicity
Effect without a cause
Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
[Lyrics from "Every Breath You Take - The Singles"]
Words and music by Sting
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
[Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world]
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
The subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
[Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world]
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way
We are spirits in the material world
[Are spirits in the material world]
[Are spirits in the material world...]

There's a little black spot on the sun today
That's my soul up there
It's the same old thing as yesterday
That's my soul up there
There's a black hat caught on a high tree top
That's my soul up there
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
That's my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles, running 'round my brain
I guess I always thought that you could end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
There's a dead salmon frozen on a waterfall
There's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
There's a king on a throne wit his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
There's a black-winged gull wit ha broken back
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
That's my soul up there
I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles, running 'round my brain
I guess I always thought that you could end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
I'll always be the king of pain
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every band you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me
How my heart aches with every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every smile you fake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I keep crying, baby, please
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
[Lyrics from "Every Breath You Take - The Singles"]

Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could live together
Walking on, walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon
Some may say
I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play
Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon
Some may say
I'm wishing my days away
No way
And if it's the price I pay
Some say
Tomorrow's another day
You stay
I may as well play
Keep it up, keep it up (ad infinitum)

The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads its sail against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye
Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
The future is but a question mark
Hangs above my head there in the dark
Can't see for the brightness
Is staring me blind
God bid yesterday goodbye
Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't spend another hour of daylight
Bring on the night
I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

[spoken: The other ones are complete bullshit]
(One Sunday morning)[? Should be: You want something corny?]
You got it.
There's a house on my street
And it looks real neat
I'm the chap who lives in it
There's a tree on the sidewalk
There's a car by the door
I'll go for a drive in it
And when the wombat comes
He will find me gone
He'll look for a place to sit
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
Cut off my fingers in the
Door of my car
How could I do it?
My wife is proud to tell me
Of her love affairs
How could she do this to me?
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be O.K. on any other day
And it would be O.K. on any other day
Throw down the morning papers
And spill my tea
I don't know what's wrong with me
The cups and plates are in a
Conspiracy
I'm covered in misery
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs
The dog just bit my leg
My teenage daughter ran away
My fine young son has turned out gay
And it would be O.K. on any other day
And it would be O.K. on any other day
And it would be O.K. on any other day

The Bed's Too Big Without You
Words and music by Sting
Bed's too big without you
Cold wind blows right thru' my open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreaming dreams of what used to be
When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride
No regrets no love no tears
Living on my own was the least of my fears
Bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big
Without you
Since that day when you'd gone
Just had too [sic] carry on
I get thru' day but late at night
Made love to my pillow but it didn't feel right
Every day, just the same
Old rules for the same old game
All I gained was heartache
All I made was one mistake
Now the bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big
Without you
[Bed's too big without you

I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote
I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat
Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?
I've got contacts in my book and in my eyes
My good connection on the telephone never lies
Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?
I've got a list of the people I have known
I'm never alone on the end of a phone
Have we got contact
You and me?
Have we got touchdown
Can't we be?
I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
[Message in a bottle]
A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life
But love can break your heart
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle
[Message in a bottle
Oh, message in a bottle
Message in a bottle]
Walked out this morning
Don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone at being alone
A hundred billion casatways
Looking for a home
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my

Deathwish in the fading light
Headlight pointing through the night
Never thought I'd see the day
Playing with my life this way
Gotta keep my foot right down
If I had wings I'd leave the ground
Buning in the outside lane
People think that I'm insane
The day I take a bend too fast
Judgement that could be my last
I'll be wiped right off the slate
Don't wait up 'cause I'll be late
Words and music by Sting
Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean
Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold
You lay there sleeping like an open doorway
I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
Take a look at my new toy
It'll blow your head in two, oh boy
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Oh, oh, oh
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
Truth hits everybody
Truth hits everyone
I thought about it and my dream was broken
I clutch at images like dying breath
And I don't want to make a fuss about it
The only certain thing in [life is death] [

It'll blow your head in two, oh boy

Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you don't care
You look as if you're going somewhere
But I just can't convince myself
I couldn't live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
So lonely
Now no one's knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat they're always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role
So lonely

I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this
[I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't]
I can't stand losing you
[I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you
I can't stand losing you]
I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense
[I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing]
I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride
[I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing...]
I can't stand losing you

[The book spells it 'Re-humanise']
Words by Sting, music by Stewart Copeland
He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
The kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong
You've got to humanise yourself
A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanise yourself
Billy's joined the National Front
He always was (just) a little runt
He's got his hand in the air with the other cunts
You've got to humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself
I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanise yourself
A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanise yourself
Re-humanise yourself...

Words and music by Sting
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
It's a subject we rarely mention
But when we do we have this little invention
By pretending they're a different world from me
I show my responsibility
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
The third world breathes our air tomorrow
We live on the time we borrow
In our world there's no time for sorrow
In their world there is no tomorrow
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
Lines are drawn upon the world
Before we get our flags unfurled
Whichever one we pick
It's just a self deluding trick
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
I don't want to bring a sour note
Remember this before you vote
We can all sink or we all float
'Cos we're all in the same big boat
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
One world is enough
For all of us
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday
It may seem a million miles away
But it gets a little closer everyday
One world...

[Lyrics from "Every Breath You Take - The Singles"] Words and music by Sting
[One, two, three, four, five, six
Oh oh oh oh oh oh]
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an Armalite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with me head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
And they're only going to change this place
By killing everybody in the human race
They would kill me for a cigarette
But I don't even wanna die just yet
There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done
[Oh oh oh oh oh oh...]
[Lyrics from "Every Breath You Take - The Singles"]
Words and music by Sting
Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?
Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
[Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little
Every little
Every little
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
Thing she does is magic
Eee oh oh...]
Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little thing she does is magic magic magic
Magic magic magic

Words and music by Sting
Tied to the tracks and the train's just coming
Strapped to the wing with the engine running
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
Tied to a chair, [and] the bomb is ticking
This situation was not of your picking
You say that this wasn't in your plan
And don't mess around with the demolition man
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip
I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster
I'm a demolition man
You come to me like a moth to the flame
It's love you need but I don't play that game
'Cos you could be my greatest fan
But I'm nobody's friend
I'm a demolition man
I'm a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom
I kill conversation as I walk into the room
I'm a three line whip
I'm the sort of thing they ban
I'm a walking disaster
I'm a demolition man
Demolition man...
(to end)
How many of you people out there
Been hurt in some kind of love affair?
And how many times did you swear
That you'd never love again?
How many lonely, sleepless nights?
How many lies, how many fights?
And why would you want to
Put yourself through all of that again?
"Love is pain," I hear you say
Love has a cruel and bitter way of
Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
How could it be that what you need the most
Can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
You never want to feel so sad and lost again
One day you could be looking
Through an old book in rainy weather
You see a picture of her smiling at you
When you were still together
Or you could be walking down the street
And who should you chance to meet
But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day?
Why don't we turn the clock to zero, honey
I'll sell the stock, we'll spend all the money
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if she'll take me back
I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero, sister
You'll never know how much I missed her
I'm starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero, boss
The river's wide, we'll swim across
The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his officers stink
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet
The President looks in the mirror and speaks
His shirts are clean but his country reeks
Unpaid bills
In Afghanistan hills
Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay
The general only wants to teach France to dance
His army life doesn't give him any romance
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet
The general scratches his belly and thinks
His pay is good but his company stinks
Guerilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet
Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay
Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay
Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
In old Bombay
Bombs away
But we're O.K.
Bombs away
I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date
I'm in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late
I knew you never asked for this
I know
My shots will always misfire
My shots will always miss
Does everyone stare this way at you?
I only look this way at you
I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date
I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late
I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone
I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home
Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you
I never noticed the size of my feet
Until I kicked you in the shins
Will you ever forgive me
For the shape I'm in
For the shape I'm in
Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you
I'm gonna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start
I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart
Last of all I'm sorry 'cos you never asked for this
I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss
Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you
Does everyone stare the way I do?
I only stare this way at you
Does everyone stare the way I do?

I likes to eat my friends and make no bones about it
I likes to eat my friends, I couldn't do without it
Ain't a man or poet, friend, I know just how you'll taste
Your limbs go sliding down my throat and never go to waste
Your death, of course, will sadden me, until I grok your essence
I know your life was not in vain when digestion is commencing
Consider this a celebration and the deepest pact of friends
And I hope that you will dine on me when I come to an end
Friends...
Even friends may come to you with a new found revelation
But think of it as life renewed and not their termination
"To know you is to eat you" should be the code of lovers
Death brings the highest act of love preserved for one another
Friends...
People say that what you are is only what you eat
And my friends become a part of me, oh well it's then that life's complete
To know you is to eat you, the act of love supreme
Each one of us inside himself can appetize the dream
I'd invite you back to my place
It's only mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks home to me alright
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face?
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Another key for my collection
For security, I race for my connection
Bird in a flying cage, you'll never get to know me well
The world's my oyster, a hotel room's a prison cell
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face?
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
I'd invite you back to my place
It's only mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks like home to me alright
But it's a hundred miles from yesterday night
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man with the stranger's face?
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man in a suitcase?
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
Is it me, the man in a suitcase?
Must I be the man in a suitcase?
The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears
City screams are all I've heard in twenty years
The razor's edge of night it cuts into my sleep
I sit upon the edge now shall I make that leap?
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
The sky's alive with turned on television sets
I walk the streets and seek another vision yet
The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier
The edge of time closes down as I disappear
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
Always talking to myself
The time that's best is when surroundings fade away
The presence of another world comes close to me
It's time for me to throw away this paper knife
I'm not alone in reaching for a perfect life
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Of the Omegaman
I'm so tired
Fifty million years ago
You walked upon the planet so
Lord of all that you could see
Just a little bit like me
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Hey, Mr. Dinosaur
You really couldn't ask for more
You were God's favorite creature
But you didn't have a future
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Hey, mighty brontosaurus
Don't you have a lesson for us?
Thought your rule would always last
There were no lessons in your past
You were built three stories high
They say you would not hurt a fly
If we explode the atom bomb
Will they say that we were dumb?
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
They say the meek shall inherit the Earth
They say the meek shall inherit the Earth
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps
Walking in your footsteps

Hungry For You (J'aurais Toujours Faim De Toi)
Rien de dormier cette nuit
Je veux de toi
Jusque'a` ce que je sois sec
Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's
Comple'tement couvert de sueur
Nous nous noyons dans la mare'e
Je n'ai aucun de'sir
Tu as ravage' mon coeur
Et mois j'ai bu ton sang
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Tout le monde est a` moi
Je l'ai gagne' dans un jeu de cartes
Et maintenant je m'en fous
C'e'tait gagne' trop facilement
Ca y est alors ma belle trai^tresse
Il faut que je bru^le de jalousie
Tu as ravage' mon coeur
Et moi j'ai bu ton sang
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons
J'aurais toujours faim de toi
No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you
No matter what I do
I'm still hungry for you
Rien de dormir cette nuit
Je veux de toi jusque'a` ce que je sois sec
Mais nos corps sont tout mouille's
Though it's me that's on fire not this cigarette
I was stabbed in the back by that young suffragette
And what do I care if she leaves me alone
If I need somebody I'll pick up the phone
I'll put on my good face, clean up the flat
I'm starting all over good bye to all that
Put on some music and pour out a drink
I'll go back to bed and I'll try not to think
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
She was a person I just couldn't see
And I tried to make her what she couldn't be
We tried and we tried, but of course in the end
I drove her crazy and right 'round the bend
Now it's too much to just sit here and cry
I can't be seen with a tear in my eye
Why am I standing right next to the phone?
When I kept on saying I must be alone
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
I love you, why didn't I say that before
I guess that it's safe now she's walked through the door
It's hard when you know that you've got to go on
Feeling so weak and pretending your strong
I didn't see her I only felt me
And one day I'll learn just which part of me bleeds
Now that she's gone I know she was great
But I fucked it up and now it's too late
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]
Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]

Someone to talk to, [Someone to talk to]

It begins to tell
'Round midnight, 'round midnight;
I do pretty well
'Til after sundown;
Supper time, I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad
'Round midnight
Mem'ries always start
'Round midnight, 'round midnight;
Haven't got the heart
To stand those memories
When my heart is still with you
And old midnight
Knows it too.
When some quarrel we've had needs mending
Does that mean that our love is ending?
Darling, I need you;
Lately I find
You're out of my arms
And I'm out of my mind.
Let our hearts take wing
'Round midnight, 'round midnight;
Let the angels sing
For your returning;
Let our love be safe and sound
'Til old midnight
Oh, let us adore him
We need his sacrifice
Oh, let us adore him
We need all he has
We need him to help
We need all he has
We need our God, we know
Won't someone help me?
We need our God
We need our God, we know
Won't someone help me?
We need our God, we know
Won't someone help me?
Let me reach for him
For we are his
Oh, please let me hold him
He wept for his kingdom
Oh, let us adore him
We need his sacrifice
We need all he has, o God
World War Three
Suddenly...
Comes reality...
All around,
Burning ground...
Just how far can you see?...
How will you feel when you live underground?
No longer free to move on
No longer free of the things that brought you down
(Above ground)
Can this be
Reality?...
All the dreams are decayed...
Here we stand,
World in hand...
We ourselves have the key...
Open the gateway to flowers and streams
Children are living our dreams
Look at them playing their games, so wild and free
(Let this be)
World War Three
Must it be?...
Live and love, don't destroy...
Ah,ah ha ha!
Don't destroy...
Don't destroy...
Don't destroy...
Please...
Please...
Don't destroy...
Don't destroy...
Towers tumbled - all the buildings crumbled
Volcanoes rumbled
Insurance salesman mumbled
Ballerians bumbled - all the heroes stumbled
Politicians fumbled
Suddenly a hand held out - take a ticket tout
It was a chart - it was a card
And those are your instructions
And what he offered in his hand
It was a diagram - master plan
A secret plan for your deduction
Crystals shatter - all the singers chatter
While the drums just clatter
Your silken raiment's tatter
While all the poets chatter - "Oh, it doesn't matter"
Please ignore the latter
Settle back you're growing fatter
Oh you know you've got no conception
Well, you're far out in space
I see you trying to trace a design
Of your heart on the stars
On the open ocean - like an open book
See the feeble fumble for a better look
See the sheep shake
In their sleep wake
Not an earthquake
Or a death wake
And all the while - through the testing and the trials
She smiles
You ask me how
I've become mad now
There was a day,
I had so much say
What of my feet?
Life seemed to be sweet
I was admired
But I was so tired
Go through the dam
Lion and lamb
Know what you're sayin'?
Know what you're sayin'?!!!?!
Things went okay,
And then one day, "Pow!"
I can expound
With the new words found
If reasons gone,
How do I live on?
Because I know
Which way I must go
Where can I go,
Now that I know
Time has gone by?
Time has gone by
Isn't that the madman,
Running through the fields?
Isn't that the madman?
Wonder how he feels...
You look at me,
What do you see now?
Is it so bad,
Or am I just sad?
Are you in doubt?
There is a way out
I've seen the crack
I cannot come back
I'm not afraid
Sticks out a way
Into the tide
Be by my side
Isn't that the madman,
Running through the fields?
Isn't that the madman?
Wonder how he feels...
The bed's too big without you
A cold wind blows right through that open door
I can't sleep with your memory
Dreamin' dreams of what used to be
When she left I was cold inside
That look on my face was just pride
No regrets, no love, no tears
Livng on my own was the least of my fears
(chorus)
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big........
without you
Since that day when you'd gone
Just how to carry on
I get through the day but late at night
love to my pillow but it didn't feel right
Everyday just the same
Old rules for the same old game
All I gained was heartache
All I made was one mistake
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big........
without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big........
My sisters and I
Have this wish before we die.
And it may sound strange
As if our minds are deranged.
Please don't ask us why
Beneath the sheltering sky
We have this strange obsession
You have the means in your possession.
We want our tea in the Sahara with you.
We want our tea in the Sahara with you.
The young man agreed
He would satisfy their need
So they danced for his pleasure
With a joy you could not measure.
They would wait for him here
The same place every year.
Beneath the sheltering sky
Across the desert he would fly.
Tea in the Sahara with you.
Tea in the Sahara with you.
The sky turned to black-
Would he ever come back?
They would climb a high dune
They would pray to the moon.
But he'd never return,
So the sisters would burn
As their eyes searched the land
With their cups full of sand.
Tea in the Sahara with you.
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost
I know that the spades are swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
I woke up in my clothes again this morning
I don't know exactly where I am
And I should heed my doctor's warning
He does the best with me he can
He says I suffer from delusion
But I'm so confident I'm sane
It can't be an optical illusion
So how can you explain
Shadows in the rain
And if you see us on the corner
We're just dancing in the rain
I tell my friends there when I see them
Outside my window pane
When you were a young girl, did you
Have a ragged dog,
The only dog you ever owned?
You can treat me the way you used to treat that
Ragged dog;
But hurry up, 'cause I'm gettin' old
And I get older, baby,
Day by day,
And it get's stronger, baby,
Let me say,
And it goes deeper, baby,
Than you'll ever know
Stand back, baby,
And watch my love grow
And do I love you? My, oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you, would I cry?
Bet your life, baby!
Baby, baby!
Baby, baby!
Baby, baby!
When you were a young girl, did you
Have a puppy
That always followed you around?
You can treat me the way you used to treat that
Puppy, baby;
I swear I'll never put you down
No, I won't,
And I get thankful, baby,
In every way,
And it gets less painful, baby,
Let me say,
And I'm gonna love you
Every night and day
Look out, baby;
My love is comin' your way
Yes it is
And do I love you? My, oh my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you, would I cry?
Bet your life, baby!
Baby, baby!
Baby, baby!
Baby, baby!
I love you, baby,
Like a flower needs a spring
I love you, baby,
Like Aretha Franklin needs to sing,
And I love you, baby,
Like a schoolboy loves his party, yeah,
And I love you baby,
River deep mountain high
I want to take ya higher (higher)
I want to take ya higher (higher)
I want to take ya higher (higher)
Get on with me, babe (higher)

All I need is some (higher)

Give it up, baby (higher)
Wow! (higher)
Wow! (higher)
Get it up (higher)
Get it up (higher)
Get it up (higher)

In favor of that puppy, baby,
I swear I'll never never never put you down
No, I'll never put you down
It gets stronger, baby,

Recapture the thrill
Of yesterday...
No, you never will,
Try as you may...
You're passing by a race and just by chance you happen to drop in for a moment
Or two...Yeah
You know the kind of thing,'cause every now and then you must have had it happen
To you...Yeah
When just by coincidence,
Things at the time
Know you'll find
You meet a girl and fall in love
Chase a wife
You dance the night away...
The girl begs you,
"Please, please, please stay."
Never try to
Recapture the thrill
Of yesterday...
No, you never will,
Try as you may...
With the passing time,the memory in your mind will give a false sense of
Elation...
You wish to go but know you must return and finally yield to
Temptation...
When you arrive,
You can't believe
But for the name,
The place is the same
The floor is empty
And the whole mood has changed
You spend the night alone...
Sadly, you make your way home
But everybody tries to
Recapture the thrill
Of yesterday...
Yesterday
No, they never will,
Try as they may
You see them walking 'round, their heads are hanging down,their sad faces show
Disillusion...
The things they knew before are not here anymore; they can't understand their
Confusion...
The pity fools
Who never learn
They just don't belong
They still...hold on
The day of spender is a nostalgic song
Opening a final dream
Nothing but time in between
Forever trying to
Recapture the thrill
Of yesterday...
Oh, why don't they understand?
No, they never will,
Try as they may
You've got to hear me, people
It's too late
Recapture the thrill
Only the wind
Can carry
My message to you
Only the wind
Can say
All that I wanted to
I drown
Beneath the ocean,
Sinking fast
I don't know
Only the wind...
Only the wind
Can carry
My message to you
Only the wind
Can say
All that I wanted to
I drown
Beneath the ocean of my dreams,
Sinking fast,
Cringing at all my screams
My daddy's boots don't fit me
'Cause I'm bigger than him
He says I make him sick now
I'm bigger than him
They say there's nothin' worth achievin'
All your dreams are just deceivin'
You've locked the doors on your good livin'
An' you told me to wait
You've got me backed into a corner
You're makin' me haze
I say there's nothin' worth achievin'
All your dreams are just deceivin'
They say there's nothin' worth achievin'
All your dreams are just deceivin'
Throwin' stones that are reelin'
From a reasonable light
You muscle in when I have a party
Ready to fight
I say there's nothin' worth achievin'
All your dreams are just deceivin'
Nothin'
Nothin'
Words and music by Sting
I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away.
Nothing here is gonna make me stay,
(You) took me over, let me find a way.
I sold my house
I sold my motor, too.
All I want is to be Next To You.
I'd rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane.
You took me over,
Think I'm goin' insane.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
I've had a thousand girls or maybe more,
But I've never felt like this before.
But I just don't know what's come over me,
You took me over, take a look at me.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you.
So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind.
When all it is is just a love affair.
You took me over baby, take me there.
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you.
All those stories that used to say
There's a new world begins today
Bad old days just a memory
Trouble is that it seems to me - yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the same old planet
Golden dreams of a golden age
Silver tongue of an ancient sage
When the prose is half fulfilled
Seems it's time for you to pay all the bills - no, no no
Not on the planet
I had a vision the other night
Woken up by an angel of light
She sang a song so pure and bright
A simple tale of how it might have been
My political friend tells me I've got to fight
He says I've got to stand up for my rights
Well that's all right my friend you know I will
Just one thing you know - I ain't gonna kill - no, no no
Not on the planet
Go take me flying out of this place
To another time and some other space
I'm just another soldier fallen from grace
Won't you see me with a smile on my face?
No,no,no!
Not on the planet
(Not on the planet)
It's a new world
(Not on the planet)
It's the same old planet
(Not on the planet)
It's a new world
(Not on the planet)
But it's the same old planet
(Not on the planet)
It's a new world
(Not on the planet)
It's the same old planet
(Not on the planet)
It's a new world
(Not on the planet)
It's the same old planet
Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
chorus
Because it's murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore
(chorus)
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our famous killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name
But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Because it's murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABCDE
One two three
One two three
One two three
Because it's murder by numbers
one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers
one two three
When I walk down the street you point your ugly finger at me
Then you turn to your friends and you laugh, "Hey, what can that be?"
Well it's none of your business what I'm all about
Why don't you watch where you're going and shut your mouth
Just like a robot, just like a sheep,
Like a zombie: dead asleep,
Just like a spider with not enough feet
Oh you're normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Oh you're very - very normal
Well, it makes you feel big to put people who are different down
Well, you call me dirty names 'cause it makes you feel like a man
You think the world was made just for you
And it scares you to know that it's my world too
You think that you are superior and I am inferior
You're misinformed and plain ignorant
Oh, oh, aren't we normal?
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
You want everyone that you meet to be just like you
And when they ain't, you think you got the right to tell 'em what to do
Like a computer with rusty gears,
You've been programmed with lies and fear
You want an answer to your question,
But when you get it, you give rejection
'cause your mind has been infected
But you call that normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Mr., Mr., Mr. Normal
Oh, you're normal
Oh, you're normal
Oh, you're normal
Hello, Mr. Normal
Good day, Mr. Normal
Little grey monsters with razor sharp teeth
Control junkies with machine trained eyes
You can tell who they are by the way they sneer
Whenever one of us walks by
Antennaes on their heads; they're on the alert
They wanna write our names in the book of the dead;
Define our morals; lay tracks for our feet
They wanna be in charge of what is in our heads
They bubble, they - hmmm... yeah, link
They sparkle, they bubble
Words and music by Sting
Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town
Walk down the street and your head spins round
Don't be seen alone without your friends at night
Take a gun or a knife to the low life
Don't have to be born into this society
Pay for love but the hate comes free
Bring enough money for the rest of your life
Don't bring your wife to the low life
Bringing us there to their vocation [? should be: the degredation]
Always keep your back to the wall
No rewards for your infatuation
Low life
No life at all
Yeah, low life, low life
In here too long to be afraid anymore
You can't reach the bed so you sleep on the floor
You get so stoned you think you could fly
But you won't get high on the low life
Low life....
Just the kind of lady to really set you sailing
On emotion's ocean
Just like a river she's rolling on forever
Got you running around now you've found
She turns the tide of your tired heart
Back to the place where you made a start
She's got the power to burn you up
But she's turning, turning your golden heart
Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night
Don't stand in the gutter boy, mumble and mutter
That the world ain't treating you right
I'm talking to you - I can prove it too -
You'd better listen to me - I've got a guarantee
Now who told you life was meant to be
Happiness, Light, Love and Free
What made you think you had a right?
You're just a frightened child in the middle of the night
Lady, lady of delight
Lady, lady of the night
Wild dogs baying at the moon
Alley cats singing out of tune
Hoot of owls across the lake -
These are sounds that follow her wake
Don't think you can change her -
I know she'll rearrange you
You might disagree but just you wait and see
You think you're winning but look at the state you're in
Danger - stranger:
Some call her goddess some call her a whore
But she's a sister - a lover - a mother and more
She keeps on coming - she makes it clear
That if you let her in you've got nothing to fear
Lady, lady of delight
Your beauty pulses like a distant star
Once you were so near to me and now you've gone so far
Wretched and asphyxed the word is in his stone
(Rigid and as fixed, the words, as any stone?)
Lying now - no move, nor speak no statue here alone
(Lying now, don't move or speak ... alone?)
Living here just with a memory
A simple recollection that's so dear to me
You said it's logical that we should part
What's pleasing to my intellect, must surely break my heart
Man will always want what he can't have
It's more than he can do just to be brave
He seeks perfection in a thousand ways
Just throw another shovel on his grave
Born to live
Born to die
Born to wonder
Why, why, why, why
If you there
Would you leave me wondering
If you there
I am one man under (I am one man only?)
If you there
Don't leave me wondering
If you there
You say that all we have is what we see
Baby, all you understand is a little part of me
You said that I could never be the one
Promises evaporate in the angle of the sun
If the only certain thing is death
Walk a little nearer to it now with every breath
And if this time must wear a velvet glove
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

And I won't muck around with you

I'll eat your body and your soul

Eat 'em night and day

They say ev'rything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near,
So I remember every face
Of everyman who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any way now,
I shall be released.
They say ev'ry man needs protection
They say ev'ry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any way now,
I shall be released.
Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear his voice shouting out so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any way now,
I'm stupid for you
inner space man angel
I should have cut the crap out
but I was drinking too much
Then she said
Joan of arc was cool
but she got burned
like I'm burning after you
I'm centrifugal
I am the sun
I am the sun
I am the sun
I am
we had a minor adventure
took a ride in the car
ended up in a forest somewhere
she took my keys and threw them in the ditch
disappeared into the mud and pitch
I must have walked the world that night
until dawn, but she'd gone
and she'd said
Jesusu was my age
when he got nailed
yeah I'm coming back to you
I'm paranormal
I am the sun
I am the sun
I am the sun
Ride on, ride on it's not over
Shine on, shine on it's not over
Ride on, ride on it's not over
How insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say
What can you say
When a love affair is over
Now she's gone away
And I'm alone
With a memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in her last look
How she must have asked,
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to do
What can one say
Four thousand people with flowers in their hair
Walking around, just feeling the air
People who looking for a new world
Can't understand that it's here
Can you imagine a world without love?
No distant star or sky up above,
No one to hold when the night becomes cold,
No one with whom to grow old
People just moving to sight and sound
After this life, they're eternity-bound
You must believe, or you will find
You will be left far behind
San Francisco is losing it's hate,
And all the love flows out through the Golden Gate
Into the ocean that flows 'round the world,
Hoping it's never too late
Love is like a flying bird
Love is like a bird
Love is like a bird
Love is like a bird
It must be allowed to flow free
And fly away
It must be allowed to fly free
Good friends and I'm a stranger
So hard to circulate
Crowded streets, I see no faces
No place for a changing soul
Like a ship on an angry ocean
Ferris wheel that spins too fast
For a dog, snarling in a corner
Heaven never seemed so far away
Maybe the game is someone else's
Too tired to play along
Go on your way takin' chances
Your way is yours alone
For an artist in a hungry basement
Or a rain on a lonely man
Or a kid, fightin' with his father
Heaven never seemed so far away
Good friends and I'm a stranger
So hard to circulate
Crowded streets, I see no faces
No place for a changing soul
Like a ship on an angry ocean
Ferris wheel that spins too fast
For a dog, snarling in a corner

Sometimes I'm old
Sometimes I'm smiling
I'm ever-changing,

Sometimes I'm young
Sometimes I frown
[Zoot and Burdon]
Well, sometimes I'm bold
Sometimes I'm shy
I never seem
To compromise
I'm always there
And I always try
And if one can tell...
Aaaaa...
That I'm a Gemini...
[Zoot Money]
'Cause I'm a Gemini (Gemini), yeah
You know that I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
But I, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Yes, now I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
I have two sides,one dark and one light
One is white
And they're as different
As day or night
[Eric Burdon]
I've got two minds,baby. One is black and
[Zoot and Burdon]
Well, I love today
But I hate tomorrow
I don't spend time;
I only borrow
Don't blame me
For the way things are
Because I can't control...
What is in the stars...
[Zoot Money]
'Cause I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Don't you know that I'm a Gemimi? (Gemini) Hey,
You've got to believe a Gemini (Gemini) Yes
[Eric Burdon]: Here comes side two.
[Zoot Money]: Funny, I can only see one side.
[Eric Burdon]: That's because you are biased, Gemini.
[Zoot Money]: I is not.
[Eric Burdon]: It must be, if you can only see one side.
[Zoot Money]: There is only one side.
[Eric Burdon]: No, there are two.
[Zoot Money]: There's only my side.
[Eric Burdon]: There is my side, too.
[Zoot Money]: But if there are more than two of us,
Then there are three sides.
[Eric Burdon]: No, there are two sides.
[Zoot Money]: There MUST be more than two.
[Eric Burdon]: There is wrong.
[Zoot Money]: There IS more than two.
[Eric Burdon]: There is right.
[Zoot Money]: There is wrong.
[Eric Burdon]: Right.
[Zoot Money]: Wrong!
[Eric Burdon]: And right.
[Eric Burdon]: Heh, heh.
[Zoot Money]: Heh, heh.
[Eric Burdon]: And light.
[Zoot Money]: Right.
[Eric Burdon]: Right.
[Zoot Money]: I can see again.
[Eric Burdon]: Day
[Zoot Money]: Night?
[Eric Burdon]: And night.
[Zoot Money]: Ah.
[Eric Burdon]: Two sides.
[Zoot Money]: Two sides.
[Eric Burdon]: Gemini.
[Zoot Money]: Gemini.
[Eric Burdon]: Gemini.
[Zoot Money]: Gemini.

'Cause I'm a Gemini. (Gemini) Yes, I am
Don't you know that I'm a Gemini? (Gemini) Yeah
Oh, yes, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)
Do you believe that I'm a Gemini? (Gemini)
Well, I'm a Gemini (Gemini)

You ask me how
Four firemen scrambled aboard their engine
And raced five miles,
Blue and amber lights flashing
Emergency call from the army
But a surprise...
Was waiting when they got there
The bathroom of the sergeant's mess
Was covered with water (covered with water)
Their orders were to mop it up
And put it in order (put it in order)
The friends of the army fire brigade
Came out in sympathy
We didn't join to mop the floors
Or right the IMP...
[coughing]
They still had to do their jobs
And throw the book at you
You can't believe it's true
On questioned why they refused to do it,
They each replied,
"This is how I see it."
The first one to answer was Henry
"I could work." The others felt the same way
They all agreed it wasn't fair
We shouldn't be made to (shouldn't be made to)
It really is the principle
We should remain true to (should remain true to)
They fought through two world wars, you see,
With hand and tooth and fist
Now William said he'd never stand
For treatment such as this...
They still had to lose their jobs
And now they've been suspended
Laser licks the lighting love
And a phaser flicks in a phaser flood
And you see my love - starting to see love
How can you be my love -
"Found in a phaser love"?
With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be
Electron Romance
Magnetic mating dance
You've got me floating - you've got me floating along
Got me hoping - really got me towing a line
You've got me hopping - really got me singing a song
You've got me hopping - got me bopping
I won't [be] stopping till you go
Humming like a dynamo
Baby you're a dynamo
See it on the video
Everything you want to know
Well you don't need to fear no leader
You don't need it now
Because we're all part - a fantastic heart
Of a great big you somehow
When you've got love the stars
Above all shine for you right now
With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be
Happy to be
Laser licks like lighting love
And a phaser flicks in a phaser flood
And you see my love
How can you be me love -
Found in a phaser flood?
With a magical motion we dance in a dream
Happy to be
I'm 20 years old
At the moment, no job
My height is one eighteen
Green eyes and blond hair...
And sometimes I feel alone
I love action movies
I love racing sports
But my hero is Elvis
He's really my god
Do you like my hero?
Do you like rock n' roll?
Maybe sometimes feel lonely
Don't have a job
Please let me know
My codeword is great

I am 20 years old
At the moment, no job
But my hero is Elvis
As their wings go dark - up against the sun
And their shadows pass - over everyone
And time unfolds - to a beating drum
I throw my clothes on a burning chair
I paint my eyes with the cold night air
The dreamer shouts - to an empty room
And the sun will shine
And the rain will pour
We radiate for evermore
And the world will turn
Falling rain
In the end
There's a silence
And the TV set doesn't show the fall
The light is fast the world is small
And in the end there's a silence
And the sun will shine
And the rain will pour
We radiate for evermore
I looked out across
The river today,
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
Where the seagulls play.
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
In the sodium light
I saw two priests on the ferry
October geese on a cold winter's night
And all this time, the river flowed
Endlessly to the sea.
Two priests came round our house tonight
One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying
To serve the final rite,
One to learn, one to teach,
Which way the cold wind blows
Fussing and flapping in priestly black
Like a murder of crows
And all this time, the river flowed
Endlessly to the sea
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
And I'd bury the old man,
I'd bury him at sea
Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth
Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle
And as these words were spoken I swear I hear
The old man laughing,
'What good is a used up world, and how could it be
worth having'
And all this time the river flowed
Endlessly like a silent tear
And all this time the river flowed
Father, if Jesus exists,
Then how come he never lived here.
The teacher told us, the Romans built this place
They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire
Garrison town,
They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods
But the stone gods did not make a sound
And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left
Were the stones the workmen found
And all this time the river flowed
In the falling light of a northern sun
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
Men go crazy in congregations
But they only get better
It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags,
I'll wear sable some day
So hear what I say
I'm gonna ride that serpent
Yeah!
No more time Sweating
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose,
Ain't no use holdin' me down
Hold..stick around
But baby remember
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine
Aaaah..Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride that serpent
Yeah!
No more time sweating
Hear my command
I'm breakin' loose,
It ain't no use holdin' me down
Hold..stick around
And baby,(baby)
Remember,(ember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong,
Hurt me sometime

In my life
Be a happy man
Try the best I can
Or maybe I'm just looking
For too much
There's something missing from my life
Cuts me open like a knife
It leaves me vulnerable

Well, the telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?
The telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?
The telephone is screaming
Won't she leave me alone
The telephone is ringing
Is that my mother on the phone?
Well, every girl I got out with
Becomes my mother in the end
Every girl I go out with
Becomes my mother in the end
Well, I hear my mother calling
But I don't need her as a friend
Every girl I go out with
Becomes my mother in the end
Oh Oh mother
Oh mother dear please listen
And don't devour me
Oh mother dear please listen
And don't devour me
Oh women please have mercy
Let this poor boy be
Oh mother dear please listen
Don't tell the director I said so
But are you safe Miss Gradenko?
We were at a policy meeting
They were planning new ways of cheating
I didn't want to rock your boat
But you sent this dangerous note
You've been letting your feelings show
Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko are you safe?
Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko are you safe?
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody at all in here?
Nobody but us
Nobody but us
Is anybody alive in here?
Nobody but us
Your uniform don't seem to fit
You're much too alive in it
You've been letting your feelings show
Are you safe Miss Gradenko?
Miss Gradenko are you safe?
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody alive in here?
Is anybody at all in here?
Nobody but us in here
Nobody but us
Nobody but us in here
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my,
Be my girl
I was blue and lonely,
I couldn't sleep a wink
And I could only get unconscious
If I'd had to much to drink
There was somehow, something wrong somewhere,
And each day seemed grey and dead
The seeds of desperation
Were growing in my head
I needed inspiration,
A brand new start in life,
Somewhere to place affection,
But I didn't want a wife
And then by lucky chance I saw
In a special magazine
An ad that was unusual,
The like I'd never seen,
"Experience something different
With our new imported toy,
She's loving, warm, inflatible
And a guarantee of joy"
She came all wrapped in cardboard,
All pink and shrivelled down
A breath of air was all she needed
To make her lose that frown
I took her to the bedroom
And pumped her with some life,
And later in a moment
That girl became my wife
And so I sit her in the corner
And sometimes stroke her hair
And when I'm feeling naughty
I blow her up with air
She's cuddly and she's bouncy,
She's like a rubber ball,
I bounce her in the kitchen
And I bounce her in the hall
And now my life is different
Since Sally came my way
I wake up in the morning
And have her on a tray
She's everything they say she was
And I wear a permanent grin,
And I only have to worry
In case my girl wears thin
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my girl
Won't you be my, be my,
You used to think you were smarter than me....you were
smarter. You used to think you were harder than me,
harder.
I was so sharp I resisted for years. They were so smart.
They were so smart that they brought us to tears. I was
so sharp.
It's snowing again in both of our heads lets sit here and
watch it fall. It's snowing again in both of our heads
lets stay here and watch it fall.
You used to think that you were smarter than me....you
were smarter. You used to think that you were harder than
me, harder.
I'm walking through the streets with a streamlined
version of you I wonder which is beautiful the chorus or
the splitting light. I wonder this without you here I
wonder it with all my might.
You used to think you were smarter than me.....you were
smarter. You used to think you were smarter than me....
You were smarter. You used to think you were smarter than

[Intro - YG:]
Damn Bitch
Fuck off, always on my head bout some bullshit
So what man, you nothing to me
[Verse - YG:]
Yeah that’s my other bitch, she be trippin when I say im with another bitch
Sold her a dream that wont come true but she hope it is
We blowin blunts like candles, when you make a wish
Going back and forth, arguing about whos mistake it is
You know I aint the type of nigga for relationships
All these problems like a vacation, im getting away from them
Like save the problems for your mama, I aint buying em
Like girl you the only one im wit, she know im lying
Talking bout bitches I fucked the first night I met em
Like if you aint gon do nothing about it, bitch shut up
She tired of my shit, she cant do it, she fed up
And if she lookin for tha dough, I’d be glad to help her’
And she know about my other bitch
If I aint fucking her, she know who im fucking wit
And im caught up in the mix
Cuz im in love with this girl but I love the other bitch
[Chorus x2 - TY$:]
I think she knows about, my other bitch
She’s always searching my shit like the police, searching through my shit like the police
[Verse - YG:]
And my girlfriend came home, warning
She be searching through my shit like she had a warrant
Tryna find out who my who other bitch,
Lying to her saying she a good friend, yeah right bitch
And if you ridin wit me, nigga hop in
My other bitch got me feeling like im flyer than a rocket
All that bullshit you talking bout you need to stop it
And not appeal but im tryna pop, lock and drop it
And we can keep it low nobody gotta know
But sometimes having two bitches the way to go
And if I cant trust some of the homies, I cant trust a hoe
Cuz all she wanna do is argue, I said fashoo
And she searching through my shit like she the police
I know we’ve been talking for a minute but you don’t know me
And I think she know about my other bitch
But she cant do nothing about it but just live with it
[Chorus x2 - TY$:]
I think she knows about, my other bitch
She’s always searching my shit like the police, searching through my shit like the police
[Verse - YG:]
Im telling her how it is, she say stop playing stupid
Im in the streets, on the grind tryna do me
She asking me questions, where you at? who are you with?
Jumping to conclusions that im fucking with a new bitch
So, I bought her flowers on the weekend
Hope she forgives me for cheatin
But if she don’t imma be cool, cuz imma go back to girlfriend number two
[Chorus x2 - TY$:]
I think she knows about, my other bitch
Calling all stars

Proceed with caution
Suspects are musically armed and dangerous

All The TimeWe Are Led To Believe
The Police Do It Right
And Catch All The Theives
But We Know The Truth
We Know It Right
The Police Ain't Done
Nowt Right All Night
A Kid Is Missing
Or A Kid Is Dead
Police Don't Care
The Police Don't Care
They Do Summat Stupid
Fills My Mind With Doubt
Hope Frys Your Mind
Then Hope Runs Out
They Care 'Bout Their Look
In The Newspapers View
Someone Should Tell Them
To Think About You
They Don't Do Much
They Confiscate Our Drink
It Ain't Important
But Thats What They Think
A Kid Is Missing
Or A Kid Is Dead
Police Don't Care
The Police Don't Care
They Do Summat Stupid
Fills My Mind With Doubt
Hope Frys Your Mind
Then Hope Runs Out
They Are Up At A School
Searching For Cannabis
But When It Comes To True Crime
They Give It A Miss
Discriminating Laws
Against The Minorities
The Stupid Police
The Innocent They Seize
A Kid Is Missing
Or A Kid Is Dead
Police Don't Care
The Police Don't Care
They Do Summat Stupid
Fills My Mind With Doubt
Hope Frys Your Mind
Then Hope Runs Out
They Respect No One
They Do As They Please
The Police System
