Living life, money mean the world
Higher than a kite, I'm higher than a fly
Used to burn reggie, not the gang got my rights
Belt looking like I'm Babe Ruth, bet I won't strike
All-star gang George, that's when I'm blowing
Astral plane, damn right, shit puffing
Get this hoes open, ask some crazy questions
Tongue stroke it, smell it when it's open
Yeah, it's just something I love
Spinning vanilla dutches with different color buds
You can light it, smoke it, fill it, tone it
Roll this shit right and you can be roasting
Yeah, we still here rockin', this is DJ Smoky lot
Hey, I like this shit man, I like this shit, man
I like this shit
I'm a stoner like a hippie, I fell in love with trippy
In '99 but now I'm on a sour D sticky, got to happen
A new addition, I call it Ricky
I'mma tight the roller cone up and throw in a 50
With a little bit of leaf from a marijuana chief
Win a lot, get the paper, sex in between the sheets
I twist the top of the class, I made the honor roll
I won the heist, man, not the chronic bow
You know that medical smell soon as you pop the top
I'm on a space state, baby, captain Kirk got the spot
Capone hate it, baby,
I'm a big bamboo roll, this the bong
This was smoking in the hallway or spin in the yard
Rank in out in a robe, wait
I smoke till my eyes bloody red, hoe
Laid up, let the stress go
Yeah, Smoky right back at you motherfuckers with a big, fat joint
We gonna roll up behind the plain right now, we keeping lifted
Capone and young Haiti
Could these motherfuckers smoke like a motherfucker? Motherfucker
Hey yo pass my shit
Die Geschichte von Victor "Noreaga" Santiago und Kiam "Capone"
Holley liest sich wie ein spannender Roman voller Höhen und Tiefen: Gefängnis,
Erfolge, Verluste, wieder Gefängnis und so weiter. Aber der Reihe nach.Kennen
gelernt haben sie sich in der Greenhaven Besserungsanstalt für jugendliche
Straftäter im Staat New York. Sie finden schnell einen Draht zueinander, da beide
aus Queens stammen. Sie spielen Basketball, schreiben Reime und lesen Bücher
zusammen. Nach Absitzen ihrer Strafe tun sie sich mit dem befreundeten Rapper
Tragedy Khadafi zusammen und nehmen '96 als CNN mit Mobb Deep den Track "LA
LA" auf, der als Antwort auf den New York-Diss "NY NY" vom Dogg Pound
gedacht ist. In einer Zeit, in der durch Medienhype die schwellenden
Eastcoast-Westcoast Auseinandersetzungen aufgebauscht werden sollen, ernten Capone
und Noreaga wegen der ironischen Lyriks und dem Hammer-Hook viel Respekt:"LA
LA, Big City of Dreams, but everything in LA, ain't always what it seems, you might
get fooled, if you come from outta town, cuz we comin from Queens and gets
down." Da die Labels zu der Zeit, beeinflusst durch Gruppen wie Mobb Deep oder
den Wu-Tang Clan, ihr Ohr auf der Straße haben, können Capone & Noreaga bald ein
Vertrag mit Tommy Boy unter Dach und Fach bringen und so steht '97 das Debut
"The War Report" in den Läden. Es gilt bis heute als Klassiker,
vollgepackt mit Straßenhymnen. Der Beat pumpt rauh, unterlegt von dunklen und
pathetischen Klassiksamples, die Vocals kommen hart und dreckig, "Real Thug
Life". Capone & Noreaga bilden '97 zusammen mit Mobb Deep die Speerspitze des
Hardcore-Raps aus Queensbridge, die den Ball wieder zurück nach New York holen. Das
Album bekommt trotz Undergroundstatus Gold.Doch auf ein Hoch folgt bei CNN
bekanntlich ein Tief und so muss Capone kurze Zeit später wieder hinter Gitter.
Noreaga ist plötzlich auf sich allein gestellt und versucht nun Solo weiter zu
arbeiten. Er hält aber immer die Erinnerung an seinen Partner am Leben. Und so
findet sich auf seiner '98 veröffentlichten Scheibe N.O.R.E (Niggaz on Da Run Eatin)
unter den Produzenten auch der Name "Capone". Das Album mit Features von
Big Pun, Nas, Busta Rhymes usw. wurde mit Platin ausgezeichnet und bringt Noreaga in
die Riege der Superstars wie Ll Cool J, Nas, Jay-Z. Die Platte selbst ist poppiger
als der Erstling geraten und lässt, trotz einiger Kracher, ein wenig die Intensität
und Roughness aus Anfangstagen vermissen. Wie fast alle seiner berühmten Rapkollegen
avanciert Noreaga neben Method Man, Ol' Dirty Bastard oder Busta Rhymes zu einem der
begehrtesten Gastrapper. So tritt er u.a. auf Werken von Onyx, Big Punisher und Fat
Joe in Erscheinung.Der nächste Rückschlag aber kommt prompt. Nachdem schon Noreagas
Mutter Barbara Marie Holley 1996 gestorben ist, trifft es im Juli '98 auch seinen
Vater Victor Mambo Santiago. In dieser Zeit hätte er Capone dringend gebraucht, doch
der sitzt immer noch im Knast, und so versucht er über die Musik seine Trauer zu
verarbeiten. Heraus kommt '99 sein zweites Soloalbum "Melvin Flynt: Da
Hustler" und erweist sich als ein halbgares, überstürzt auf den Markt
geworfenes Produkt, das bei Fans und Kritikern nicht besonders gut abschneidet. Es
verkauft sich zwar 500.000 mal, aber man merkt, dass ihm sein Freund und Partner
Capone in jeder Hinsicht fehlt.Alles wendet sich zum Guten, als Capone Ende '99 aus
der Haft entlassen wird. Nach langsamem Abtasten und der Rehabilitierung Capones im
Rapbusiness durch Gastauftritte u.a. bei Screwball beginnt man mit der Arbeit am
legitimen Nachfolger von "The War Report". Ende November steht dann die
Platte "The Reunion" in den Läden und knüpft an alte CNN-Tage
an.2000 The Reunion1999 Melvin Flynt: Da

What's up ese
This is the notorious Capone
Back to clean up all that industry bullshit
Trying to fuck my name up dog
This is for you you fucking rankers
Fuck the intro, straight to the point
The mero mero's back here to rock this joint
Straight from the streets with the gangster beats
Run the Goddamn calles like the police
I'm that cholo pelon, el mas chingon, pinche cabron with the corazon
Texas my home, don't fuck with this
In the water with the weighst around your feet and your wrists bitch
You know what's up dog
I'm on top of the streets like the California smog
They get flattened fucking with this Latin
Dopest rapping, from Los to Manhatten
I ain't bragging, just stating the truth
I'm the baddest Mexicano in the sound booth
I serve em all with this dope, my barrio dope
All my enemigos choke from the shotgun smoke
I'm that homey in the locs, the old school chucks
I'm the vato that the supermodels pay to fuck
I'm the gangster with no concious, I handle up
Like Timothy McVeigh, dog I blow shit up
What, gangster gangster gangster scrub
Capone got that Chicano gangster flow
Fuck the rest holmes, I'm Bad like Mike
Potent like twenty kilos of un-cut light
[Chorus]
I got your barrio dope, got your barrio dope
I got your barrio dope, got your barrio dope
I got your barrio dope, got your barrio dope
I got your barrio dope, got your barrio dope
I got your barrio dope, got your barrio dope
I got your barrio dope, got your barrio dope
I got your barrio dope, got your barrio dope
I got your barrio dope, got your barrio dope
Gangster rolas for cholos and cholas
Gangster guns for levas and solcas
Can't stand the haters and gangster fakers
Latino Jam be some real regulators
Fill the house like Shaquille and the Lakers
Independant, having money like the majors
Brown rhyme sayer, kilo gram weigher
Master's degree, triple beam operator
Surrounded by gangsters, Mexican issue
God sent me here to diss you
Take a nap, you vatos are wack
You couldn't feel me if I was standing right on top of your back
Two turntables and a microphone
This ain't Beck, it's a vato putting rappers in check
Here to collect the street respect
Got my infared beam on your turtleneck, boy
[Chorus]
One two, one two, stomp the shit out of you
Tres cuatro, it's suicide fucking with this vato
Don't get caught up in something gacho
You're just another amateur at Night At The Apollo
I'm the professional, stay off my testicles
Pay check, with a whole bunch of decimals
Got your addiction, what's you fix
I got dope on cassette and compact disc
Calling out names on all you lames
Can't touch my style holmes, I'm straigh cocaine
Capone, remember the letters
Disrespect and get shanked through your Polo sweater
Latin assasin, gangster action
Rearrange your face like Michael Jackson
Latino Jam be a big ass gang
Full of Mexicanos with the barrio slang
[Chorus]
What you need homey

Intro: Raekwon]
Yo 'Pone what up?
It's Shallah, you know I came to see you, boy
Boy-boy, the Vatican
Pain, Time, Roc 4 lid-Life (Nigga)
Gorilla shit, what up?
[Chorus 2X: Capone]
Chitty chitty bang bang
I'm on my grizzly for shizzy
I pop that clizzy, let your muthafuckin' brains hang
Chitty chitty bang bang
Yo, where that 50, who is he?
Actin' dizzy, nigga, watch me do my thang thang
[Capone]
Will I die before 50, tried to get my palms read
I'm dead through the eyes of a gypsy, bloodshed
Survivors move wise through the city
Word to mother, only a few alive off of pity
High ride, and a five palm clutched on a blinky
Other hand, pull up another dutch that I twizzy
Soaking a C.I., slow look out in the street
Few goons, singing the same tune walkers on the beat
Little niggaz that's try'nna put Jordans on they feet
O.G.'s that's try'nna get to Portland, where's it's
cheap
I move with that Indian hustle in me
That fat cat, that world, that black jaded Bentley
Got bucks, but I'mma trynna get "moore" like Demi
Time's up, don't even try to duck the semi'
Only cowards deal with lust and envy, greed and hate
Chitty chitty bang bang, I blast niggaz who fake
[Chorus 2X]
[Raekwon]
We hold fort, blowing holes in pussies
Come through the town and it's on
Watch me get the globe with crushed weeds
All my got it together, back the baddest bitches
All my flowing with Jags, and got the rags stitching
Play it for them niggaz in yards, the Gods come through
in the nod
She's reading the Korans, the Clarksmiths
Can't tell me nothing from nothing
Touch a hair on me, and press a button
Might throw you out of a lady jumping
Yeah, we Niked up, piped up
Representing ninety generals at one time, looking
striped up
Dinner plates, nothing but salmons and handlers y'all
Interstate, nothing but cameras and scanners, y'all
So when you see us, just believe us
Extraordinary young men, walk through the town, fuck
all the divas
Me and 'Pone, twin gambinos, out in Rio
With them big elephant guns, and fly 'Zito's
They'll be a man
One to lead his people into victory
One who goes through time
One who seen pain
The one who see's the glory
That man is I, Capone
The leader, follow me
They wanna beat me like Rodney
See me like Pac
Have me like O.J. doing 100 in the drop
Railroad me like the Hurricane but I won't stop, let's go
[Chorus]
Look at my life (look at my life)
Look at my life, I'ma gangsta (gangsta, gangsta, gangsta)
Look at my life (look at my life)
Look at my life, I'ma gangsta (gangsta)
I'ma gangsta
[Verse 1]
Yo, yo
Take a journey through my life
Walk through the nights with me
It's a long road ahead of us, I hope that your ???
Queensbridge, a trife city ??? slums
I've seen political homicides and crack related ones
Pac and Bigggie, god bless em I don't know where to begin
Forgive me lord for I've committed a sin
I sold crack to my mans mom
I feed my uncle dope in his arm
I testify to every word wrote in this song
Except the 5th commandment, thou shall not kill
I obviously ignored it cause my blood shall not spill
So I chose to squeeze first
Put you 6 feet deep in the dirt
And watch your cold soul emerge from the earth
I was a star first, then I grew into the sun
Destined to shine over the planet
Till I came across a gun, infactutated by the sound
When the shots get sprayed, like (gunshots)
I'm about to take the streets to another phase
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I'm amazed I'm still living
I came close to the end of my days
I couldn't let the streets raise my two siblings
Or my kid, I'm too thoro, I survived through prison
Collide with rival clicks spitting, listen
I live life like I'm racing to an early death
Exceeding the speed limit, with no brakes
Quiet when I step, reality bites
I'm gangsta for life, so I squeeze like
I hold the mac precise
With 32 shot clips
And turn your hard top into a convertible drop whip
They talking to rappers, chose my name to reflect
I'm hot, grimy entertainers come
Drama east to west
I don't wanna kill no more
At times I hear death knocking at my front door
Feeling like I'm being watched everytime that I score
What if the pigs got me on survaillance
A rebel to the law, I got 2 strikes against me
1 shot in me, a vest and a semi
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
??? bust from jail, a mink
A pound of the real, a 37 inch link
Money in the bank, a Coup to match it
I was released like a boss ???
You know the kind of thing a gangsta could relax in
Lifes a bitch, but fuck it
Trying to keep my whole faculty covered
And spits more like an iraqian thugging
If you wanna take me, mommy I'm coming
But if not, they can never break
I'ma keep gunning and bust shots
[Capone & Noyd]
Light up! Light up! That's right! Bring it! Whatever you want!
Bring it! QB!(Guns, knives, whatever you want)
Whatever ya'll niggas want, man, whatever!
Bring money, lye, whatever you want!
You expect to come correct nigga!
Bring it, thugs, gangstas, whatever you want!
QB, Capone and Noyd, what?
[Noyd]
Niggas don't want beef, they don't wanna see me
They don't wanna be with their wiz and kids
And get fronted with heat
They don't wanna die, niggas wanna live
I know niggas wanna smoke blunts, puff puff and give
Believe niggas don't want it with the kid
Niggas rather drown down Bicardi and party and shit
You know my hoods though be bout this shit
My dunns are a hundred sick, thugs who thump, thugs who pump
You weak, we deep, niggas from Queens
And we eat niggas with Jim, and get em for bling (bling!)
You know my dun smoke more than fiends
My broads fit more coke in they ass and jeans
Which is great cause we dealin with a couple of apes
Til' we pull out these eights and get your safe
No masks, let these niggaz see our face
Pawn yourself, boy, cause we robbin the place, what?
[Chorus: Capone and Noyd]
[C]We can shoot, fight, smoke, drink
Jail, nigga, bust that ass down with shanks
[N]We can thump, chump, we aim to kill
Thug nigga put it down, the game is real
[C]We can shoot, fight, smoke, drink
Jail nigga, bust that ass down with shanks
[N]Nigga we can thump, chump, we aim to kill
Thug nigga put it down, the game is real
[Capone]
Yo, yo, hey yo, niggas never learn
Til' they shot and get a jail term
Both havin bullets is hot
The average ran by the room
And the city is ridin', cops knockin'
The streets is watchin', without shades
I don't stop, I just keep clockin'
Haters played on my bad judgment
Like dude's numbers (you want it?)
Then floss for a few summers
Newcomers walk in my steps, often I rep
Bang guns, still got corporate respect
They think they fuckin' up the projects,
Installing cameras, niggas'll shoot them shits out
And get 'em more bananas, you know the ghetto life
Jail, blood, sweat, and tatted tears
Block wars, every young bitch having kids
I'm the lost boy of Queensbridge, drama never told
Been a piranha in the streets since seven years old
Two and a half years cold, now scorchin'
Like a bullet bucked from a four fifth
Grunt nigga, fallin'
[Chorus]
[Noyd (Capone)]
Yo, yo, now we the niggas cockin' the hammers, rockin bandanas
My whole clique gangsta boy (Straight bananas!)
(Compulsive gamblers bet the X-5)
(It's money on the line, I form better, the all bets on the side)
To death niggas ride, with the guns you can get it live
(Slain in the public, the game we above it)
And we don't discuss nothin, we leave the guns buckin'
You get knocked down with four pounds, keep frontin'
We rep Queensbridge and you heard of us all
There's Noyd and Capone and we murder you all
(Leave you in the morgue, toe tag, and polaroid picture)
(If my shit jam, and don't bust, then Noyd'll hit you)
And I won't stop 'til I get a man, pop a nigga
Or pull out the box cutter and 'ox the nigga
(Who can stop this killa? Capone, the block guerilla)
(I snap shots, still got the picture)
(Boo)
These are the dos and these are the don'ts
These are the dos and these are the don'ts
These are the dos and these are the don'ts
I'll give it to ya real nigga, take it how ya want
[Chorus:]
Yo, These are the do's and these are the don'ts
I'll give it to ya real nigga, take it how ya want
Live life by the codes and get a shotgun pump
Real niggas stay ready to dump
These are the do's and these are the don'ts
I'll give it to ya real nigga, take it how ya want
Live life by the codes and get a shotgun pump
Real niggas stay ready to dump, leave ya slumped
Do ride to the death, don't fuck with jake,
Do squeeze on a nigga find out he a snake
Don't walk in my hood after 11 or 12,
Do the right thing and always stack money for bail,
Don't fuck with the soft, do fuck with the hard,
Don't ever wear a walkman when you spin in the yard,
Do come through prepared, don't wait to blast,
Don't think you gunna' win if you likin' that ass
Do your business in person don't talk on the jack
Do know the consequences getting caught and a tap
Don't let a nigga put a battery in your back,
Do salute me when you see me, don't fuck up a pact,
Do realize the villain of the city is back,
Don't shoot it in air waste bullets for that,
Do understand these codes or you will get clapped,
[Chorus:]
Yo, these are the dos and these are the don'ts
I'll give it to ya real nigga, take it how ya want
Live life by the codes and get a shotgun pump
Real niggas stay ready to dump
These are the dos and these are the don'ts
I'll give it to ya real nigga, take it how ya want
Live life by the codes and get a shotgun pump
Real niggas stay ready to dump, leave ya slumped
Don't fuck with white liquor, do shots of the yaght,
Don't trust when you see a nigga hoodied in black,
Do whipe your prints off when you tossin' a gat,
Don't let a 10-4 get a nigga the snatch,
Do the white air forces, keep a tee to match,
Don't fuck with my good boy, breath with that,
Do look out the peephole before you leave,
Don't let a nigga catch you comin' out the crib and
squeeze,
Do push her face down when she givin' you top,
Don't let her spit it out make her swallow every drop,
Do watch for the feds, cuz they seekin' indictment,
Don't go do a hit a buck and whip out hydrant,
Do walk around New York vest under your jacket,
Don't promise a jail nigga, kites in a package,
Do smoke till they have your last bag of piff,
Don't fuck with a drug that'll make you scratch and
sniff,
Do understand these codes, or you will get clapped,
Don't forget to put it down like an OG black,
Yea yea, these are the codes, this is the manual,
You must abide by this
[Chorus:]
Yo these are the dos and these are the don'ts
I'll give it to ya real nigga, take it how ya want
Live life by the codes and get a shotgun pump
Real niggas stay ready to dump
These are the dos and these are the don'ts
I'll give it to ya real nigga, take it how ya want
Live life by the codes and get a shotgun pump
Real niggas stay ready to dump, leave ya slumped
Do take A or C, don't neglect the kids,
Do the math, look at all the bodies droppin'
Don't front on your soldiers, take em' out gun shoppin'
Do wear a seat belt when you hop in,
Don't open they knockin' to ask around, ain't nobody
can stop em,
Don't fuck your man family, that shit is a problem,
Do live by this manual consider the doctrine
[Chorus:]
Yo these are the dos and these are the don'ts
I'll give it to ya real nigga, take it how ya want
Live life by the codes and get a shotgun pump
Real niggas stay ready to dump
These are the dos and these are the don'ts

Cuz I hang with go getters straight flow spitters
I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
And stopped there for a moment just to watch the
children play
Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
People come for children and take them for their own
But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm
blind
They always take some other child and I am left behind
No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for
[spoken]
I just can't seem to figure out
Why the folks all pass me by
Cause I know that it's true that god takes
Little blind children with him in the sky
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty
And they seem to like my big curls of gold
But then they take some other little child
And I'm left here all alone
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
I met a boy who didn’t know
Which way to turn which way to go
He didn’t like books, he didn’t like girls
He didn’t like going to school
But when he said he didn’t like Reggae
I just had to lose my cool
Chorus
I said what you talkin’ ’bout
You say you don’t like the Reggae beat
I said what you talkin’ ’bout
You say you don’t like the Reggae beat
You must be cray ay ay yeah ah, cra-zy (oh)
You must be cray ay ay yeah ah, cra-zy (you must be)
I met a man who didn’t know
Which way to turn which way to go
He didn’t like cars, he didn’t like books
He didn’t like anything fast
But when he said he didn’t like Reggae
In his face I had to laugh (ha)
Chorus
Solo
Repeat first verse
I was a fool, broke every rule, blue darling
Saw the tears that took the place of your sweet smile
My heart would break if ever I should lose you
Blue darling you're the lone and only one
(Chorus)
So please, please, please forgive me
Im sorry for the wrong that I have done
My heart would break if ever I should lose you
Blue darling, you're the lone and only one
I'll be leaving on account of you
So please don't ever think of me
We used to love together, we two
So please don't ever think of me
Won't someone be kind and make you happy all the time
Your love for me has faded away
Although my heart is aching dear
Be happy and never think of me
(Chorus 2)
So please, please forgive me
I'm sorry for the wrong that I have done
My heart would break if ever I should lose you
Blue darling you're the lone and only one
She's my lady, she's my baby, she's my woman Lord above
And I'll love her till the end of time
And I'll love her till the end of time
Said I'll love her till the end of time
Her lips are kissed by the sweet morning mist
Her eyes as bright as the full moon at night
She's my lady my tropical baby and she's mine
Until the end of time, my Tropical Lady, my island baby
Said I love her till the end of time
Said I love her till the end of time, Lord above
Said I love her till the end of time
But I, don't know what to say to her
And I don't know what to do
But one thing I know girl,
She's my Tropical Lady, my island baby
She's my woman, Lord above
And I'll love her till the end of time
And I'll love her till the end of time
Said I'll love her till the end of time
Instrumental
Everyday I'm away from you
I get these Tropical Lady blues
How can I live when I'm feeling so blue
When all I want is to be by you
My Tropical Lady, my island baby
And she's my woman, Lord above
And I'll love her till the end of time
And I'll love her till the end of time
And I'll love her till the end of time
But I, don't know what to say to her
And I don't know what to do
But there's one thing I know girl, I love you
My Tropical Lady, I love you, my island baby
Said I'll love her till the end of time
Said I'll love her till the end of time
Said I'll love her till the end of time
Said I'll love her till the end of time (end of time)
Said I'll love her, I love her, till the end of time (end of time)
Said I'll love her, till the end, of time (end of time)
Until the end of time (end of time)
Do that to me one more time
Once is never enough with a man like you
Do that to me one more time
I can never get enough of a man like you, oh
Kiss me like you just did
Oh, baby, do that to me once again
Pass that by me one more time
Once just isn't enough for my heart to hear
Whoa, tell it to me one more time
I can never hear enough while I got ya near, oh
Say those words again that you just did
Oh, baby tell it to me once again
Do that to me one more time
Once is never enough with a man like you
Whoa, do that to me one more time
I can never get enough of a man like you, oh
Kiss me like you just did
Oh baby, do that to me once again
Whoa baby, do that to me once again
Whoa baby, do that to me one more time
(Do it again)
One more time
(Do it again)
One more time
(Do it again)
One more time
(Do it again)
One more time
(Do it again)
One more time
(Do it again)
I was a fool, broke every rule, blue darling

So please, please forgive me
I'm sorry for the wrong that I have done
My heart would break if ever I should lose you
Blue darling you're the lone and only one
The lights in the harbour, don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship, adrift on the sea
The sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine, how I wish
You were mine, again my dear
I'm on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
How did I lose you?
Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me?
Always to sail
This sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine, how I wish
You were mine, again my dear
I'm on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
Oh, what I'd give to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
Come to my rescue
Come here to me
Take me and keep me
Away from the sea
The sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine, how I wish
You were mine, again my dear
I'm on the sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
Sea of heartbreak
Some folks love in confusion
Want an easy solution
Walk with eyes shut wonderin' why they bump into walls
Can't see no real love at all
(CHORUS)
But our love ain't no kinda magic
Ain't no tarot cards, don't work no charms
Some people just can't undersand it
Want an easy fix, gotta give to get
Said it ain't no kinda magic
No potion in a jar, no readin' stars
Ain't no lovin' only halfway, it‘s another love I'm thinkin' of
Some folks say ‘I love you truly'
(while the sun still shines)
Until the weather gets gloomy
(then it's goodbye)
But I won't run for cover when raindrops fall
I want you, I want it all
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
You want it, you need it
Know it when you see it
Eyes open all the way
Tried to call you n' got the answer phone
Now I'm glad I'm free to spend a weekend on my own
Do the shopping
Jog in the park
And there's a lot of housework
That needs to be done
I'm turning myself into
A superhero of sorts
And I'm so happy now
You didn't take my call

Blow Up Your Video
THAT'S THE WAY I WANNA ROCK N ROLL
Blow Up Your Video (1988)
LIVE (1992)
SINGLE: That's The Way/Kissin' Dynamite-Borrowed Time (1988)
(Young, Young, Johnson)
Party's gonna happen at the union hall
Shaking to the rhythm 'til everybody fall
Picking up my woman in my Chevrolet
Glory hallelujah gonna rock the night away
I'm gonna roll roll roll
I'm gonna roll roll roll
I'm gonna take this town, turn it around
I'm gonna roll roll roll
Now there's a blue suede bopping on a high heeled shoe
Balling round together like a wrecking crew
Oh be bopper lubba baby what I say
You gotta get a dose of rock and roll on each and every day
We're gonna roll roll roll
We're gonna roll roll roll
We're gonna take this town, turn it around
We're gonna roll roll roll
I'm gonna blow up my video
Shut down my radio
Told boss man where to go
Turned off my brain control
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way
Ooh that's the way I like my rock and roll
That the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way
That's the way
To rock and roll!
Roll, roll, roll,
I'm gonna roll, roll, roll
I'm gonna take this town, turn it around,
I'm gonna roll, roll, roll
I'm gonna roll, roll, roll
That's the way I want it
Roll, roll, roll
Gotta hear it loud
Gonna take this town, turn it 'round
Gonna roll, roll, roll
Blow up my video
Shut down my radio
Told boss man where to go
Turned off my brain control
That's the way I want my rock and roll
That's the way I want my rock and roll
Well, you say I'm being cruel now, 'cause I make you struggle and strain
And you cry, 'Baby, don't leave me out in the rain'
When you snapped your fingers in the past they'd all come around
Now's your first crusade to conquer this holy ground
Take this lesson 'bout the birds and bees
He who wants got to say, 'pretty please'
Some teasin', that might be good for you
A little bit of patience is a virtue, too (remember)
Don't be rude, don't forget what Mama told you
You know it's true, you'll catch more flies with honey
And you look like you're in shape to me
Show me how you swim upstream
'Cause the makings of a champion don't come easy.
Take this lesson
Old school love
Yeah, it works for me
Is it worth the energy?
Guess you'll have to wait and see
(Yes I'm) Talkin' 'bout commuter love
(Yes I'm) Talkin' 'bout commuter love
(We're both hoping for that empty seat)
Always running just to miss this train
(Yes I'm) Talkin' 'bout commuter love
(I can't find a way to get it straight)
When I'm late you're early
Or the other way round, now
Let's face it: we ain't gonna make it
When I'm late you're early
Or the other way round, now
Let's face it: you're not coming around
(Yes I'm) Talkin' 'bout diverted love
(Yes I'm) Talkin' 'bout diverted love
(We're just running on colliding trains)
Get off before we leave the track
(Yes I'm) Talkin' 'bout diverted love
When I'm stuck you're ready
Or the other way round, now
Let's face it: we ain't gonna make it
When I'm stuck you're ready
Or the other way round, now
Let's face it: we're just messin' around
Messin' around
I'm the fox you're the hound
Or the other way round
I'm lost when you're found
Or the other way round
We're both losin' ground
Don't know where you're bound
(Yes I'm) Talkin' 'bout late-comer love
(Yes I'm) Talkin' 'bout late-comer love
(We're just never going to meet again)
Always running just to miss this train
('Cause our date is constantly delayed)
(Yes I'm) Talkin' 'bout a dead-end track
When you're late I'm early
Or the other way round, now
Let's face it: we ain't gonna make it
When I'm stuck you're ready
Or the other way round, now
Let's face it: we're just foolin' around
Foolin' around
Don't know where you're found
Keep turnin' around
I'm testin' the ground
While you're messin' around, boy
I'm up when you're down
Or the other way round
When you're light I'm heavy
Or the other way round, now
Let's face it: we ain't gonna make it
When you're drunk I'm sober
Or the other way round, now
Let's face it: we're a lethal compound
A lethal compound
I'm just dancin' around
Now you're losin' this ground
'Cause I'm shifting my ground
And I won't be around
I'm talkin' 'bout commuter love
I'm talkin' 'bout commuter love
Come on, boy, talkin' 'bout love on a dead-end track
Talkin' 'bout diverted love
Talkin' 'bout commuter love
Talkin' 'bout diverted love
Talkin' 'bout love on a dead-end track
Talkin' 'bout late-comer love
Talkin'
You know, I'm just talkin'
You know, I'm just walkin', talkin'
On a dead-end track
'Cause when I'm late I'm early
Or the other way round, now
You know, when I'm light I'm heavy
Or the other way round, now
Let's face it: we ain't gonna make it
When you're light I'm heavy
It don't mean a thing
If It ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing
If It ain't got that swing
Doo Uap, Doo Uap, Doo Uap, Doo Uap
I took a trip to the mountains
I saw you trapped up in the cable-way
I prayed that you would fall
And come floating down to me, oh yeah
You fall free style
You down from the sky
Oh i've been waiting
I've been waiting
I say leap into my arms, babe
C'mon dive into my soul
C'mon jump into my heart, babe
C'mon dive into my soul
I say leap into my arms, babe
C'mon dive into the snow
C'mon jump into my bob-sled
C'mon dive into my soul
Does it have to start right now
When you were almost ready
When you were almost ready
To leap from the sky down to me
Throwing your future into the wind, fearless
C'mon leap down from the sky
Down here by my side
Oh i've been waiting
You know that i've been waiting
I say leap into my arms, babe
C'mon dive into my soul
C'mon jump into my heart, babe
C'mon dive into my soul
I say leap into my arms, babe
C'mon dive into the snow
C'mon jump into my bob-sled
C'mon dive into my soul
I say don't look back, look back
