something infests me when I'm alone
it's lunacy
I want to vomit, spit out my life
so queer is seems
retract your reverence and slander me
I'm the traitor of mine
a close-up picture of my lost chastity
there's nothing left of me anymore
and no rain can wash away those bloody tears
as sweet sounds of destruction reach my ears
red lips like roses call my name
but laughter is all the woman of now hears
in gloom I wander, it batters me
though I subsist of it
the smell of incense arouses me
abeyance maddens me
a ginger sunset is my caress
as I expire
as music's fading I fade within
there's nothing left of me anymore
and no rain can wash away those bloody tears
as sweet sounds of destruction reach my ears
red lips like roses call my name
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher, yeah
Our situation's gonna blow
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher, yeah
Our situation's gonna blow
It's taken me a while
To realize
Just exactly it's what I'm chasin
I try to say
You move too fast, you run away
And all I do is fall back
Now I think I'm shy
I realize I'm not exactly what you needed
I try to speak
My thoughts too fast, they get away
Only when around you
Let's get away, far enough
Get away, yeah, from it
Let's get away, far enough
Yeah, you know it now
Let's get away, far enough
Get away, yeah, from it
Yeah, I'll make it work
'Til you know that you can love me
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher, yeah
Our situation's gonna blow
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher, yeah
Our situation's gonna blow
If fate lets me I'll try
To understand
Just what exactly what I'm facin
I aim too high
You move too fast, you're on your away
And all I do is fall back
Now I close m eyes
I don't see why
I'm not exactly what you needed
I try to speak
My thoughts too fast, they get away
Only when around you
Let's get away, far enough
Get away, yeah, from it
Let's get away, far enough
Yeah, you know it now
Let's get away, far enough
Get away, yeah, from it
Yeah, I'll make it work
'Til you know that you can love me
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher, yeah
Our situation's gonna blow
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher, yeah
do you believe there is love beyond the living? ginger
will you be the one to hold me and let me tag along? i'll
tell you about everyone who's done me any kind of wrong.
puddle-jumper, muddy friend with a storm cloud overhead,
is it still too soon to care for a count to ten bear?
ginger all my dreams are of a phone that rings all day
long. i would sleep in your shirt and hibernate away the
hurt. nights are nice when i'm not scared that you don't
care that i'm not there. when all the phone calls are
returned, sleepyhead can rest assured. ginger could you
love me like a son, tire swing and front lawn? i want to
be your only child i want to feel your heart in mine.
don't let go on me now don't let go on me now don't let
Certain kinds of nights,
Find me swimming alone,
Inside my bed.
Certain kinds of songs
Leave me without a sound
Without a trace.
Now I know,
Something aint right
Inside of her
Certain kinds of sounds
Find me slippin' away.
Driftin away.
Certain kinds of light,
Find me sfalling into
Her summer dress
Now I know,
Something aint right
Inside of her.
It's not out of respect,
The door is closed but the walls still haunt me.
Still haunt me.
Now I know,
Somethin aint right
A nervous evening settles down
Calling a wind that deprives
All the dust and all the soil away from my soul
A thousand sprites dance in my head
Don't understand a word they call
Only you can make them fall asleep
Wherever you are
A taste like ginger in the air, here,
Where gold was Mined
Drenched by tainted games we used to play
A taste Like ginger in the air,
Where gold was mined
drenched by tainted games we used to Play
to kill the Sadness...
pictures rising from the past
calling the wind that deprives
all the dust and all the soil
and Make me want to smile
i grab The pillow at my side
your voice is in the air
i can't Feel an ending treasures
scattered everywhere
a taste Like ginger in the air,Here,
where gold was mined
Drenched by tainted games we Used to play
a taste like ginger in the air,
where gold was mined
drenched by tainted
Games we used to playto kill
Ginger on your head
Threw my coat
No more I drink just spicy pink
Spicy pink soup
I love you
For hiking through the grainy parts of New York
But I vanished appeared on an island
Ginger kids can be nothing but violent
Gray spikes
At night
I hope we don't crush up the street lights
Expensive smoke and lacking in
The life of the ginger kids
And ginger kids all love to get lost in the earth
In the earth
Lady make up your mind
What the rose or the gold
Baby pink little birds begin to unfold
Stick them on my shirt
And stick them on my nose
Oh what a situation.
What bitter fruit you’re tasting.
Frustration escalates, I wait for your call.
If it wasn’t for your voice,
I wouldn’t have a telephone at all.
I see you when you’re sleeping,
I sneak in when you’re weeping.
I wonder how you’re keeping sense of it all.
Say it helps a little being piggy in the middle
When you call.
As life opens up another window
It dead bolts another door
And how could I miss you more?
I’ll never give up fighting,
You’re everything I’m fighting for
I swear to you I’ve never meant anything more.
‘Cos you are me,
We’re the same as the water of the fevered sea.
It’s the same as the water comes to kiss your feet.
Gently greeting the shore.
So how could I miss you more?
Now there’s no-one there like me
Then how does no-one there like me?
So, how are you sleeping?
Are you eating right?
Are you keeping up that smile of yours?
The one that makes the young girls feel special,
And leaves them all with the impression,
That you are not a child
I feel the same way too sometimes.
‘Cos in your eyes you see me as one of the good guys,
Where the baddie’s dead and the world is open wide.
In your eyes you see beyond this pantomime of restless
skin,
That you should not be starring in.
‘Cos none of this applies in your eyes
I want to live in your eyes. In your eyes…
As life opens up another window
It dead bolts another door
And how could I miss you more?
I’ll never give up fighting,
You’re everything I’m fighting for
I swear to you I’ve never meant anything more.
‘Cos you are me,
We’re the same as the water of the fevered sea.
It’s the same as the water comes to kiss your feet.
Gently greeting the shore.
So how could I miss you more?
As you grow older you’ll be closer and closer to me.
(And with this shadow I’ll watch you.)
Look over your shoulder, see I’m following you.
(By faith, through atrocity wash you.)
If you look inside your heart you will see that I’m
living there too.
(And when we are clean, we’ll travel ‘round the world)
Then once we’ve been, we’ll return back to home.
Just you and me, and we’ll snuggle close together
And we’ll talk of our adventures like we always do.
‘Cos I am you and you are me.
And in your eyes you see me as one of the good guys,
Where the baddie’s dead and the world is open wide.
In your eyes…
As life opens up another window
It dead bolts another door
And how could I miss you more?
I’ll never give up fighting,
You’re everything I’m fighting for
I swear to you I’ve never meant anything more.
‘Cos you are me,
We’re the same as the water of the fevered sea.
It’s the same as the water comes to kiss your feet.
Gently greeting the shore.
When she comes in all degrees
No more need
Burn the taste of all away
You can't say
Try to kick a line in time
No more time
Burn the taste down on your knees
You can't see
What I want I can't say...
Breaking glass will do you harm
My blood's warm
Somehow word's are meaningless
I'm breathless
Try to put your arms around what you've found
Disappears and all is gone
You can't go on
What I want I can't say...
When she comes in all degrees
Breaking glass will do you harm
Driving through the night in La Hoya,
Just me and the boy I brought into the world.
Neither of us speak any Spanish,
In parallel anguish to you and the girl.
Living the illusion in the Philippines
With nothing but confusion in common, it seems.
But for Spain and Manila, the world is still going
round.
So let’s act like nothing is wrong.
Keep swinging along like Olivia Newton-John Travolta.
Act like nothing was shared, like nobody cares,
And thank God we didn’t lie at the altar.
Like fights and cocaine, we can make it a habit,
And hope that the world just buys our bullshit.
So we got a family and we didn’t deserve it?
Hey nobody’s perfect, just turn up the bullshit and
smile.
Turn up the bullshit and smile. Smile in denial.
Maybe we could go for a coffee?
Or, then again, maybe that’s a stupid idea?
Mustn’t keep the family waiting.
Priority dictating I’ll see you next year.
Starting up a family just to toss it away,
I wonder if we’ll suffer come Judgement day?
But out on the island, the sun’s smiling down.
So let’s act like nothing is wrong.
Keep swinging along like Olivia Newton-John Travolta.
Act like nothing was shared, like nobody cares,
And thank God we didn’t lie at the altar.
Like fights and cocaine, we can make it a habit,
And hope that the world just buys our bullshit.
So we got a family and we didn’t deserve it?
Hey nobody’s perfect, just turn up the bullshit and
smile.
Those young girls, if they knew me,
They could see how they get right through me.
Though the kiss may be understated,
Eagerness is orchestrated.
And they’ve got the curiosity
For maybe two or three, or more.
And they don’t care if society
Will tell them what they’re aiming for.
Ohhhh, this bed is on fire.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
Ohhhh, this bed is on fire.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
This cyber-generation
Ain’t got no time for patience.
Precocious, ergonomic,
They’re close, but it ain’t platonic
And every now and then when they get sad
They need a telephone call
From someone who’s younger than their dad
To say it’s only natural
(“there there, baby”)
Ohhhh, this bed is on fire.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
Ohhhh, this bed is on fire.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
And they’ve got the curiosity
For maybe two or three, or more.
And they don’t care if society
Will tell them what they’re aiming for.
And when the world makes me wanna keep
Run, run, running.
There are girls make me wanna keep
Come, come, coming.
It’s the least I can do to show a little willing
If I ain’t in the mood, I will be in a minute.
And the people next door can keep
Knock, knock, knocking.
This is no time to think about
Stop, stop, stopping.
Gonna let my tongue do the
Talk, talk, talking.
Gonna let my fingers do the
Walk, walk, walking.
If they want me to quit,
They’re gonna have to kick down the door
Because I’m coming right back,
I’m coming right back for more.
Yes I’m coming right back,
I’m coming right back for more.
Don’t look for education
Within the limits of your own generation.
It ain’t science, it’s just a new world
Of young girls kissing other young girls.
Ohhhh, this bed is on fire.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
Ohhhh, this bed is on fire.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
This bed is on fire in a sea of love.
I'm feeling every feeling I have today.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
This is more than just a state of mind.
It's something new.
And I'm leaving you behind.
I've been shook and I've been shown.
I wrote the book on being alone.
But that was meaningless.
'Cos I've never seen the world like this.
No, I've never seen the world like this.
And when the Devil had tried to tempt me.
When there was not a single Angel around.
When the Demons they sent me
Were guaranteed to pull me down.
What in Heaven or Hell
Is ever gonna kill me now?
I've seen much more than I ever agreed to see.
But if a lesson comes easily.
Stands to reason it'll be lost again.
Not for me.
I take my lessons seriously.
Any man can make a mistake.
For every discovery he makes.
It ain't about falling down.
It's how you get yourself up off the ground
How do you get yourself up off the ground?
And when the Devil had tried to tempt me.
When there was not a single Angel around.
When the Demons they sent me
Were guaranteed to pull me down.
What in Heaven or Hell
Is ever gonna kill me now?
And when the Devil had tried to tempt me.
When there was not a single Angel around.
When the Demons they sent me
Were guaranteed to pull me down.
When I was feeling tired and lonely.
Without a reason for me being around.
When I prayed God would lift me.
From the hell in which he'd laid me down.
What in Heaven or Hell
How can I compete?
Man that girl of yours is so damn sweet.
How can I try?
I would kick his ass if she was a guy.
Whatever she does for you
Is something that I just don't do.
I'd like to fuck her too.
What do you expect?
She's an 'ex' that will not exit.
She's as cute as it gets.
Tasted your pussy long before we met.
Whatever she does for you
Is something that I just don't do
I'd like to fuck her too.
And you're always gone.
And she's always there.
I wonder what goes on in all the time you share.
And when we don't get along
I wish that mama didn't bear a man.
But damn...
How can I compete?
When I see you walking down the street.
If this was a movie.
There'd be three of us between the sheets.
Whatever she does for you
Is something that I just don't do
I'd like to fuck her too.
I'd like to fuck her too.
'Cos in an ideal world
I wouldn't hate your girl
It’s been a couple of weeks now
Since your last apology.
And I gotta admit the coast
Was looking pretty clear to me.
Then without warning or reason.
Or accountability,
The angel is leaving and I’m fighting the demon
I remember you to be.
‘Cos you turn into another girl I can’t stand
Why can’t you just be normal all the time?
24 hours later
You’re looking confused
You say I’m blowing things right out of proportion
The way I always do.
So God made you pretty?
I guess I made you mean?
Or did the sins of the Father scar you forever?
And every guy in between?
‘Cos you turn into another girl I can’t stand
Why can’t you just be normal all the time?
‘Cos you turn into another girl I can’t stand
Why can’t you just be normal all the time?
‘Cos you turn into another girl I can’t stand
Why can’t you just be normal all the time?
‘Cos you turn into another girl I can’t stand
Blind date
Blind date, it's not the kind of thing I like best
Blind date
Blind date, I'll better put on my Sunday best
Well, it's a funny situation
My head's going round in a whirl
But there won't be no hesitation
'Cause I got to get myself a girl
Oh, I got to get myself a girl
Blind date
Blind date, I only hope that she'll be impressed
Blind date
Blind date, I'll better put on my Sunday best
Do you think she'll be a lady?
I'm not the kind you like at first sight
I think I must be going crazy
I'm sure that it'll be alright
Oh, god, I hope that it happens tonight
Blind date
Blind date, it's not the kind of thing I like best
Blind date
Blind date, I'll better put on my Sunday best
Well, what's that supposed to mean?
I hope that she doesn't walk away
'Cause if she does, then I'll just have to
Start all over again
I got to find a parking meter
I'll hate to think I might be late
Oh no, I think I see her
And doesn't she look great?
Ahaha!
Another one, that situation
Written all over her face
But if she got the information
I might be back in the race
Oh, I got to keep up the pace
Blind date
Blind date, it's not the kind of thing I like best
Blind date
Blind date, I'll better put on my Sunday best
Blind date
Blind date, I only hope that she'll be impressed
Blind date
Well, I recognised each street that I'd seen in the
movies.
I spent 24 hours on my feet, just walking around.
And my heart never beat so fast in all the years I'd
been waiting.
Because heaven only knows,
I never felt so close.
I was 6 years old when I saw Spiderman crouched down on
a garbage can.
New York City, she's my rock and roll.
And she won't take back a cent I owe.
A Mom and Dad to this restless soul,
You made me second to none.
New York, the Mother, adopts another wandering son.
I was the only kid in school to find his own education.
The kind The Dolls, Ramones and Kiss laid down.
So I'll wipe that tear and watch the dust start
clearing on West St.
Because heaven only knows,
I never felt so close.
I was 9 years old when they shot James Caan over by the
toll-booth stand.
New York City, she's my rock and roll.
And she won't take back a cent I owe.
A Mom and Dad to this restless soul,
You made me second to none.
New York, the Mother, adopts another wandering son.
Darling you mean more to me than I thought you'd be.
Hey darling, you're the guts I need to turn on TV.
36 years old when they tried to beat you down.
Who do they think that they're messing around?
New York City, she's my rock and roll.
And she won't take back a cent I owe.
A Mom and Dad to this restless soul,
You made me second to none.
New York City, she's my rock and roll.
And she won't take back a cent I owe.
A Mom and Dad to this restless soul,
You made me second to none.
Well I see him on the TV
Preaching about the promised lands
he tells me believe in Jesus
steals the money from my hands
some say he was a good man
Lord I think he sinned... yeah
Twenty two years of mental tears
cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war
on a foreign shore
to find his country didn't want him back
their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
our lawyers took his wife and kids no regrets
In a time I don't remember
in a war he can't forget
he cried "forgive me for what I done there
Cause I never meant the things I did"
Chorus
and give me something to believe in
if there's a lord above
and give me something to believe in
oh, lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
in some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
and they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down n cry
as the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
like a lost soul out of place
and the Mirror mirror on the wall
sees my smile it fades again
Chorus
and give me something to believe in (I give me something to believe in)
if there's lord above
and give me something to believe in (I give me something to believe in)
Oh, lord arise
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
things I didn't know then,
Road you gotta take me home
Solo
I drive by the homeless
sleepin' on a cold dark street
like bodies in an old bone grave
underneath the broken old neon sign
used to read "Jesus saves"
A mile away live the rich folk
and I see how they're livin' it up
but while the poor they eat from hand to mouth
the rich are drinkin' from a golden cup
and it just makes me wonder
why so many lose and so few win... Ha!
Give me something to believe in
give me something to believe in
If there's a lord above
give me something to believe in
oh lord arise
give me something to believe in
you take the high road
give me something to believe in
and I'll take the low road
give me something to believe in
you take the high road
and give me something to believe in
and I'll take the low road
Yeah, sometimes I wish I didn't know now
things I didn't know then... yeah.
Sunset at the beach
Staring at the sea
It seems to just go on
Mmmmmmm
We live in an ocean drain
We can't refuse a fight
Let's make a stand tonight
You wake up the next day
Mmmmmmmm
Putting it off again
I switched to enthanol
And turned the dabs down low
But don't pull out my Raid
A cockroach I can't take
We live in a selfish age
We live in an ocean drain
Mmmm Mmmmm
We live in an ocean drain
It's coming back tonight
It's a change in my way of life
???It's going on and on???
This can't keep going on
Living our own ways
I seperate the trash
And save my cans for cash
But not without my car
I'd only get so far
We live in a selfish age
We live in an ocean drain
Ohhh
We live in an ocean drain
Ohhh
We said the same old things before
Stop it now, before it gets worse, and then
You be the first,
and I'll
Face it down
Before it ????
It's slowly flowing down
It's seeping through the ground
And here it comes to me
This sewer called the sea
We live in an ocean drain
Ohhh
We live in an ocean drain
Ohhh
You've been straight with me
So I showed something
I knew you never wanted to see
And you flipped, you freaked out
And you didn't hear a thing that I was talking about
But how can I get you alone?
How can I get you alone?
Tears won't clear the scene
And sorrow won't build me a time machine
I'm ten times better than this...
This is only a problem
I'm ten times better than this
This is only a problem
I'm ten times better than this
This is only a problem
I'm ten times tougher
I'm ten times smarter
The world's gonna have to hit me
Ten times harder to stop me
I got stung for staying true
Made me wish that all the while
I'd been lying to you
But inside of my heart
I knew it could only be lies that would keep us apart
But how can I get you alone?
How can I get you alone?
Tears won't clear the scene
And sorrow won't build me a time machine
I'm ten times better than this...
This is only a problem
I'm ten times better than this
This is only a problem
I'm ten times better than this
This is only a problem
I'm ten times tougher
I'm ten times smarter
The world's gonna have to hit me
Ten times harder to stop me
But ain't that it
A hypocrite
Will not admit they're wrong
Tears won't clear the scene
And sorrow won't build me a time machine
I'm ten times better than this...
This is only a problem
I'm ten times better than this
This is only a problem
I'm ten times better than this
This is only a problem
I'm ten times tougher
I'm ten times smarter
The world's gonna have to hit me
Baby, you could have spent the night alone.
Baby, you could have waited ‘til I was home.
Well you could have, but you didn’t.
So you blew it. And you let me know.
Did he rock on that pussy?
Make you feel better?
Did he rock on that pussy?
Make you feel better?
My Siberian angel, whatever happened to you?
When we were alone you’d shine
Like only leather and diamonds do.
Well, you used to say that you loved me,
Now I don’t know if that’s true.
My Siberian angel, baby,
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened to you?
Honey, was he good enough to eat?
Honey, did the memory taste as sweet?
You were restless, he was helpless,
It was loveless, it was indiscreet.
Did he rock on that pussy?
Make you feel better?
Did he rock on that pussy?
Make you feel better?
My Siberian angel, whatever happened to you?
When we were alone you’d shine
Like only leather and diamonds do.
Well, you used to say that you loved me,
Now I don’t know if that’s true.
My Siberian angel, baby,
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened to you?
Well you could have, but you didn’t.
So you blew it. And you let me know.
Did he rock on that pussy?
Make you feel better?

“Oh, fackin’ ‘ell Denzil!”
I see a suitcase, some underwear and toothpaste,
And nothing but a lot of space joining them inside.
I know that when we get there I’ll buy whatever I wear
We travel light on the flight in the air tonight.
Oh, outside, it’s raining over Tyneside,
But come midnight the birds and I will be on our way.
Flying over England to catch another season
This is the evening we are leaving on holiday.
I can’t wait to see you waiting there in Heathrow,
Nothing but the sunshine on our mind.
And the duty free we’re buying will be flowing
Like the crystal clear water we fly over
On our DC10 tonight.
And when we get there we’re seeing in the New Year,
Drinking in our easy chairs, sitting by the poolside,
Lining up the cocktails to put some wind into our
sails,
Kissing and grinning, making words up to “Auld Lang
Syne”.
I can’t wait to see you waiting there in Heathrow,
Nothing but the sunshine on our mind.
And the duty free we’re buying will be flowing
Like the crystal clear water we fly over
On our DC10 tonight.
I spent Christmas day dreaming ‘bout a holiday.
I spent Boxing day wishing by the time ‘til I’m inside
a taxi,
And rolling down the runway.
And we’ll be sipping margueritas by closing time.
I can’t wait to see you waiting there in Heathrow,
Nothing but the sunshine on our mind.
And the duty free we’re buying will be flowing
Like the crystal clear water we fly over
From a halo to a crown of thorns.
When the crowd that formed didn't care.
So you start embracing uniforms.
'Cos uniforms just keep them warm,
To be fair.
Change, and you change to fit the times.
And they're changing all the time.
And the parts you wished to keep.
Are now buried with the times.
Human nature made you change your mind,
When there wasn't any time to prepare.
And believing was your only crime
Too naïve, and now it's payback time.
Had a hunch that this is what you'd find.
When eventually you got there
Change, and you change to fit the times.
And they're changing all the time.
And the parts you wished to keep.
Are now buried with the times.
And they're changing all the time.
Don't get buried with the times,
'Cos they're changing all the time.
Don't get buried with the,
Your mouth is going to get you killed one day.
You open it a lot in the most casual of ways.
It's the ugliest part of your entire face.
And one of these days, one of these days.
I'm gonna beat your mouth,
I'm gonna beat your mouth,
I'm gonna beat your mouth one day.
Your mouth even tries to defend.
The statements that you make, designed only to offend.
And you try to repair that which you cannot mend.
And one of these days, one of these days.
I'm gonna beat your mouth,
I'm gonna beat your mouth,
Microwave induced
Is tearin’ up the sense of a distance
Electromagnetic’s sending out
Nasty little packets of sound
Tonight the sky is alive
Like nobody's business
And word sure gets around...
The air is getting busy
Tranceivin’ at the speed of the grapevine
A party goin’ on, at point blame
And all the girls'll be there
Those tender tones connect
With all of the grace of a landmine
Deadly and debonair
And on the telephone they swap stories
Today’s account of how the boy done wrong
They share the misery in all its glory
And in their company they become one
Check out the widows in training
They become one
They’re taking over the lines tonight
There’s a black cloud over the airwaves
Driven by satellite
Over the air tonight
A telephonic cry
To telescopic edifications
12 women and true
Will hang the fucker up by the balls
The switchboards are alight
Singing the death of relations
In just the space of a call
And on the telephone trading secrets
The conversation is clandestine
Your private life? well it just went public
Meting out justice on a telephone line
The black widows in training prey online
They’re taking over the lines tonight
There’s a black cloud over the airwaves
Driven by satellite
Over the air tonight
And on the telephone they swap stories
Today's account of how the boy done wrong
They share the misery in all its glory
And in their company they become one
Check out the widows in training
They become one
They’re taking over the lines tonight
There’s a black cloud over the airwaves
Driven by satellite
Over the air tonight
They’re taking over the lines tonight
There’s a black cloud over the airwaves
Driven by satellite
See that clock on the wall?
It hasn’t moved since the time you called.
It’s getting hard remembering the little things
That got me so annoyed again.
And you, you smiled just in time.
I’m breaking free from the past
And making sense of the wait at last
And when you walked into the room
The audience forgot the sound
And looked around
And you, you shined just in time
Save me
Save me, save me
The loneliness is disappearing baby
Save me, save me
From all the doubt that’s still in here now
The final stage of repair.
I woke up one day and you were there.
What did I do to deserve your smile?
And all the while
My destiny was 1000 miles away,
And mine, just in time.
Save me
Save me, save me
The loneliness is disappearing baby
Save me, save me
From all the doubt that’s still in here now
I’m falling into the light
I found salvation by satellite.
Who’d have thought that you could be
A part of me?
The part I want the world to see
You came, you shined just in time
Save me
Save me, save me
The loneliness is disappearing baby
Save me, save me
One glass of wine down
It hasn’t been a good year.
A shot or two of Absolut,
And now you got an attitude.
3, 4, 5 from the whiskey distiller
And a sixth of tequila
And I still want to kill her
Well I can’t drink you pretty, it’s true.
Can’t drink you pretty, no can do.
Well your beauty’s only skin deep
But your ugliness goes the whole way through.
It’s true.
Clock strikes seven,
And still no forgetting
Your face with the chasers
8, 9, 10, 11
And twelve-o-clock don’t rock
And I’m getting sicker
To make you a catch
Is gonna take some more liquor
Well I can’t drink you pretty, it’s true.
Can’t drink you pretty, no can do.
Well your beauty’s only skin deep
But your ugliness goes the whole way through.
It’s true.
He was a famous trumpet man from old Chicago way
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone with the
draft
He's in the army now, a-blowin' reveille
He's the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B
Wendy, you’re killing me
And I don’t want it to be gently
Baby, can’t you see
Your pleasure is wearing me down?
Wendy, you’re killing me
And I don’t want it to be gently
Oh, Wendy if death is free…
Then I will pay the price, it fits so nice,
Won’t you put the pressure on?
A little vice and a lot of turning on
What’s wrong or right?
When you get out of those jeans,
You’re gonna know just what I mean.
Wendy, you’re killing me
And I don’t want it to be gently
Baby, can’t you see
Your pleasure is wearing me down?
Wendy, you’re killing me
And I don’t want it to be gently
Oh, Wendy if death is free…
Then what a price to pay,
I gotta say that a little ache and pain,
At my age, is a pleasant agony.
By the way,
I love your new underwear
Why don’t we take the party in there?
Oh baby.
Wendy, you’re killing me
And I don’t want it to be gently
Baby, can’t you see
Your pleasure is wearing me down?
Wendy, you’re killing me
And I don’t want it to be gently
You penetrate me like a Klashnekov
You say you hate me, now that the gloves are off
Now that the gloves are off, and I'm just sitting tough
Here without you
You burn inside me, when I'm just cooling down
You drive me crazy, I take a walk around
'Till I'm just walking around
My head's a battle ground, thinking about you
Because we're de-hydrated inside
With all the tears we've cried
And the gap just couldn't get wider between us
And still it does!
You say you're gonna make it up to me
I'm saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
You're gonna make it how it used to be
I'm saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
You're gonna make it all up to me
I'm saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
Just cause I'm a guy
Am I supposed to buy
All of your bullshit?
You got a history, but it repeats itself
You got a mystery, but you don't know yourself
Yeah, you don't know yourself
Because you're someone else when you're around me
You say you love me, but you keep your hands away
You ain't above me, it only looks that way
Forget the things you say
It's just a game you play to crucify me
Because we're de-hydrated inside
With all the tears we've cried
And the gap just couldn't get wider between us
And still it does!
You say you're gonna make it up to me
I'm saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
You're gonna make it how it used to be
I'm saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
You're gonna make it all up to me
I'm saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
Just cause I'm a guy
Am I supposed to buy
All of your bullshit?
You know it wasn't so long ago
There was a magic in your eyes
Where is the woman that I used to know?
Who's this girl? And what have you done to my wife?
So not it's over for the gazillionth time!
Is this the closure, or just another line?
Cause if it's just a lie
Then it's the final time I'm gonna hear it
Because we're de-hydrated inside
With all the tears we've cried
And the gap just couldn't get wider between us
And still it does!
You say you're gonna make it up to me
I'm saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
You're gonna make it how it used to be
I'm saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
You're gonna make it all up to me
I'm saying 'yeah, yeah, yeah'
Just cause I'm a guy
Am I supposed to buy
All of your bullshit?
Ain't it like a guy
That I'm supposed to buy
There's a smell, and I can tell.
It's the stench of a lonely man
Rotting inside of his shell.
But the papers will not hear
About another guy turning blue
I'll survive another lonely day without you.
I can say, with hand on heart.
I feel more alone with you
Than when we're apart.
Like a needle to a junkie.
I've seen all of the worst you can do.
I'll survive another lonely day without you.
Without you,
I wish someone would come kill me
The come kill you too.
Without you,
Days are colder, nights are longer.
I feel older but I look younger
Than I've been known to.
There've been times, and there'll be more.
And my mind will erase all this pain
Like it has done before.
'Til the next one is the first one.
And I swear that the pain is brand new.
Once again a previous sin
Sees the angels out, and the demons in
And the castle we built becomes porcelain
But don't tie me in with those other men
And I hurt myself, like I used to then
Just to feel some pain, just to feel something
But to hurt you too, I was not intending
Just don't tie me in with those other men
With those other, other, faceless and undercover
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There'll never be another
And I tried to be faithful and true
([yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah])
Though heaven may die above you
No man will ever love you like I do
Once again life takes a hit
And I heal my bones, and I'll deal with it
And I face the wrath of those hypocrites
That would not admit that they're full of shit
Like those other, other, faceless and undercover
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
There'll never be another
And I tried to be faithful and true
([yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah])
Though heaven may die above you
I was busted, I was breaking,
I was shaking in pain,
I was sure I’d keel from the knocks I’d feel
On the night I was born again.
And then something came through me,
It knew me by name.
And in God’s speed, got the strength I’d need,
On the night I was born again.
I was broken, I ain’t joking,
Better listen in case you ever are feeling the same
It takes many more knocks
Than you think that you’ve got.
Before the Universe stops,
And you’ve got to give in.
Many more shocks for the cradle to rock.
Never curse your luck, it’s just one of those things
That’ll make you feel born again.
I saw my spirit, it was leaving.
On the evening it came.
And it only goes to show, “what the fuck do I know?”
When the light of the morning came.
I stopped feeling sorry for myself, stopped worrying,
Hell I even got on a plane.
I threw the old away for a brand new day
On the night I was born again.
Out of grieving, I was leaving, all those feelings
That I would never be feeling again.
It takes many more knocks
Than you think that you’ve got.
Before the Universe stops,
And you’ve got to give in.
Many more shocks for the cradle to rock.
Never curse your luck, it’s just one of those things
That’ll make you feel born again.
Make you feel born again.
Uh-oh, look out, here it comes.
I was broken, I ain’t joking,
Better listen in case you ever are feeling the same
It takes many more knocks
Than you think that you’ve got.
Before the Universe stops,
And you’ve got to give in.
Many more shocks for the cradle to rock.
Never curse your luck, it’s just one of those things
Many more knocks
Than you think that you’ve got.
Before the Universe stops,
And you’ve got to give in.
Many more shocks for the cradle to rock.
Never curse your luck, it’s just one of those things
That’ll make you feel born again.
Make you feel born again.
It's been another shitty day
And I'd wish my life away
But it looks like here to stay
So I'm drinking the day away
It's been another crazy fight
No-one's wrong and no-one's right
But I'll be sleeping alone tonight
Because someone ain't quite gotten even
Drinking in the daytime
It's just something I'm doing
Cause there's a hurricane brewing
And if I make it through this difficult time
I'm thanking whiskey and wine
I'm thanking whiskey and wine
Cause there two friends of mine
And they're helping me through today
[AhAh!]
It makes no sense
It makes no sense
It makes no sense to doubt it
There's no defence
There's no defence
There's no defence without it
You're too intense
You're too intense
You're too intense about it
I will not repent
I will not repent
Repent, repent, repent, nope!
Since it all began
Within the hearts of men
There was a natural need to feel oblivion
And the right to decide your medicine
Sipping gin or shooting heroin
There's a sin and a price to the vice you're in
And it isn't you who's deciding
If it's on prescription or legally controlled
Only those who know how to rock
Know when to roll
That's right, baby, that's right
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
That's right, baby, that's right
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
Gotta hold on tight, gotta hold on tight
Cause if you're
Drinking in the daytime
The day that you met me,
I swear I was ready
Just to go to sleep.
In 48 hours
I ain't had a shower
Or cleaned my teeth.
You keep me alive and awake,
And I could surely handle the break.
But you, you, you...
You got a hold on me now.
And I can't see you letting it go.
You got a hold on me now.
Hey, hey, hey, don't I know.
You got a hold on me now.
My crystal dynamo.
My friends think I'm funny.
And even my mum
She says I'm looking good.
I'm thin and I'm friendly,
My stomach is empty
But my mouth is full.
I must have been talking for days,
'Cos everyone's running away.
But you, you ,you...
You got a hold on me now.
And I can't see you letting it go.
You got a hold on me now.
Hey, hey, hey, don't I know.
You got a hold on me now.
My crystal dynamo.
You got a hold on me now.
And I can't see you letting it go.
You got a hold on me now.
Hey, hey, hey, don't I know.
You got a hold on me now.
And I can't see you letting it go.
You got a hold on me now.
