Once a girl took my love until I couldn't give anymore
Then I tried to pretend no to see what I couldn't ignore
My girl don't love me at all anymore
I took her to the dance and then I didn't see her all night
Then a friend said he saw her with some other boy just outside
When I went out she was alone
She said, "I would like to go home"
I asked her, "Who were you with?"
She said, "No one"
I could tell that she lied
(And a voice said inside)
My girl don't love me at all anymore
Shake Some Action, Psychotic Reaction,
No Satisfaction, Sky Pilot, Sky Saxon.
That's what I like.
Blitzkrieg Bop to the Jailhouse Rock
Stop Stop Stop At The Hop do the Bluejean Bop.
That's what I like.
Better get off my cloud 'cos two's a crowd,
Better get off the phone - there's nobody home.
I'm gonna work it on out, I'm gonna Twist & Shout.
I'm gonna Ride A White Swan and Get it on,
Let's all turn on!
Born To Lose those Summertime Blues
In Blue Suede Shoes, Le Hoodoo Gurus.
That's what I like.
Waiting for My Man, baby, Can The Can,
I Wanna Hold Your Hand, remember Sam The Sham?
That's what I like!
When You Walk in The Room, Sunny Afternoon,
A-Wop-Bop A-Loo-Bop, A-Lop-Bam-Boom
That's what I like.
I like Sugar, Sugar, Talk, Talk, Money, Honey, Boardwalk
Who wears Short Shorts? (We wear Short Shorts!)
That's what I like!
Turn on.
Bases are loaded,
Two out and you're at the plate.
Time to start swinging
"Don't think too hard, son, you'll be great."
You know about pressure.
Two down and you're on the brink.
The stadium's shouting
So loud you can't hear yourself think.
(Strike One!) Let's play ball!
(Strike Two!) - One bad call.
Just up from the minors
A kid with potential, they said.
You've dreamed of this moment,
One game you'll never forget.
(Ball!) Ball one: now you spit
(Ball!) - Ball two: Where's that hit?
Bottom of the ninth, it depends on you.
You can save the game - you can lose it too.
You could make your name when you get that hit.
Winners never quit waiting for that hit
Remember in high school
The way you could knock'em all dead?
Now you're in the big league,
A man with a price on his head.
The pitcher is winding-
You pop behind third: it falls safe.
You're getting your timing.
Another like that, you're on base.
(Ball!) Ball three - this is it!
(Foul ball!) Foul back: where's that hit?
Here you are at Shea, your hearts in your throat
Will you make the grade? Will you miss the boat?
Hero of the day - Hero, or the goat?
Winners never quit waiting for that hit.
Where's that hit?
I was counting on you being there,
Hoping you would shield me from the glare.
Shadow me - I have lived in shadows all my life.
I've been waiting an eternity
For tonight to spread it's arms and comfort me.
Shadow me - I have lived in shadows all my life.
Things we did together yesterday,
Feels more like twenty years ago,
Oh, baby, I never lied -
I told you my hands were tied
All the time. You said "That'll be fine."
Like the mariners from ages past,
I steer my way through trackless seas
By the light of stars.
Won't you be my shadow?
I've got a lot to learn
And bridges that I still have not burned.
UntiI I find a way
I'll only end up back where I am today but
I don't know anything,
Anything at all.
I know that I ain't smart.
I get languid up in the strings of my heart
So tight I cannot breathe
I'd cut them if I knew what was good for me but
I don't know anything,
Anything at all.
I must be the king of fools,
A court jester making rhymes in nursery school,
Like "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
You can blow my candle, Jack, if you can
teach me how to light my wick 'cos
I don't know anything."
I don't suffer from hallucination,
It's a private form of recreation.
On a trip without a destination,
"Don't forget to take your medication."
Sometimes you get a bad connection
(That all depends upon your predilection)
When you're pointed in the wrong direction
You can wear me for your protection.
Let's establish a new tradition,
We'll abolish old superstition.
You're the Jesus of my religion
You're even better than television!
Take it as read
I won't harm a single hair upon your (sweet) head
Safe in your bed,
That's where I said it, meant it.
Hit it!
(You won't regret it)
Hallucination ...
Learned to live in my imagination.
The School of Hard Knocks was my education
I got a Magnum Cum Louder graduation
With a major in Hallucination.
Hallucination across the nation.
Lost generation.
Hallucination
Baby can dance, ooh she's a good girl
Baby tries hard, I love the way she moves
Baby can move, I never guessed
That one day she'd steal my heart away
Her hips slide so wild.
Look at her now, she's almost impossible
Can't turn away, my soul is hers to take
My soul is hers, I live in hope and fear
Where do we go from here?
She sure can dance...
She won't have to ask me twice.
I'm without her
I think about her every day and night
I can dream
And almost believe that everything's alright.
Baby don't care, she's got me beside myself
She does it so well,
She's all I'm thinking of
Look at her now, but why should I pretend?
Man, she's the living end...l can't turn away...
Baby can dance.
I'm drinking "Mother's Ruin"
And grooving-out to 'You Am I'
"Well, Hi !"
I'm cornered and I'm hoping
For once your mouth ain't open wide
Oh, My! My! My! My!
Tell me why
You can't look me in the eye?
Tell me why
You always have to lie?
What is that strange aroma
That tells me you're not bona-fide?
Oh, why, why, why, why?
It's always necessary
To get you're stories verified.
Oh why..... why, why, why?
Tell me why you can't look me in the eye?
Tell me why you always have to lie?
Tell me why, 'cos it's pointless to deny!
Please tell me why?
So help me,
Your friends are getting fewer.
Have you considered suicide? (You might try)
Your cookie has to crumble
And you'll be eating humble pie in the sky by-and-by.
Tell me why you can't look me in the eye?
Tell me why you always have to lie?
Tell me why cos it's pointless to deny!
Tell me why you don't just curl up and die?
Tell me why?
Hey, Hey, Hey - Take me all the way.
Maybe I've been leading you nowhere,
We won't know unto we arrive,
Either way we're certain of one thing.
We know we're alive.
Maybe I'm the wrong person for you,
(Wonder if I'll ever be right)
You won't wish for anyone better
Not after tonight.
Life could never teach me its lessons
(I knew the words but I couldn't spell)
Now you've taught me forwards and backwards,
I'm learning too well.
Do we care if anyone sees us -
We won't be the first or the last!
Make love wherever we please,
The sign says "keep off the grass"
So we sleep on the grass.
May be unkind
But baby, unwind.
You're too tight -
You can lose your grip tonight.
I've landed myself in a jam,
I knew it the moment the prison door slammed.
I shot a man dead just to show how tough I am.
It wasn't planned.
The way it went down it was late,
I got a bit fresh with some other man's date,
He met me outside and that's where he met his fate.
(A big mistake)
My lawyer said I had no "just cause"
And the best I could do was to clutch at straws.
Now you son-of-a-gun, look at what you've done.
My record was no help at all,
I've got a string of convictions since juvenile hall.
I stood up in court and they nailed me to the wall.
(And that was all...)
The jury were sure that I lied.
It took all of ten minutes for those good people to decide.
The judge hid a smile as he sentenced me with pride.
Nobody cried.
Now I'm looking at twenty before parole,
By the time I get out of here I'll be old.
Now you son-of-a-gun, look at what you've done
You son-of-a-gun, you're missing all the fun.
What I wouldn't give now to have a good time with my friends...
And what I wouldn't give now to live my life over again.
I'd do it all over again!
I'm sick of the everyday grind
And in a world without women's about to make me go blind.
They say life goes on but, then, I put mine behind.
Just doing time. Just doing time.
I got the conviction that I was framed
But I'll still be stuck in here all the same.
Now, you son-of-a-gun, look at what you've done.
Yeah, you son-of-a-gun, you're missing all the fun.
Everybody wants to buy a one-way ticket to paradise.
Everybody's had enough of too much work and self sacrifice.
They wanna get higher,
They wanna get ...
Everybody wants to take a tiny pill they call happiness.
They'd eat 'em by the dozen and they'd never even think about side effects.
They wanna get higher,
They wanna get high!
They just wanna get high.
I would never try to tell you I'm any better than all the rest,
I'm looking for a panacea, so far nothing can pass the test.
I wanna get higher
I wanna get high
I just wanna get high
Somedays, you just wanna get high
I wanna get,
You wanna get,
They wanna get (higher)
He wants to get,
She wants to get,
They all wanna get high!
We wanna get-
Yeah, we need to get-
We just better get one thing straight
There are no easy answers for all of us
But when they discover one
I'll tell you I'll be the first on that bus!
I wanna get higher,
I wanna get-
I gotta get higher
And I'm gonna get high!
I just wanna get high,
Somedays you just wanna get high.
Well these days
We just wanna get high!
And always
wanna kiss all our cares bye-bye,
Bye-bye!
I wanna get,
You wanna get,
They wanna get (higher)
He wants to get,
She wants to get,
We're all gonna get
High!
I've been going through hell
And it's starting to tell.
Wanna stand up and yell
(I wish I had a soul to sell)
All I see is down on me,
I don't need down on me,
Everybody is down on me,
Get out of my tree, stop crowding
Ain't it always the way
How people treat you today
Fuck you over and say,
"Now go and have a real nice day!"
They must be down on me,
Can't you see down on me,
I don't need them down on me
Let me breathe, stop drowning me.
They must be down on me,
He and she down on me,
My family is down on me,
Even Mr. T is down on me!
'Cos I'm doing it tough
I thought of turning to drugs
But there is never enough
To keep my problems beneath the rug.
L.S.D. down on me
P.C.P. down on me
T.H.C. down on me
M.S.G. down on me
X.T.C. down on me
F.A.B. down on me
R.I.P. down on me
I'm just trying to do the best I can.
If you don't approve that's just too bad.
I'll get by somehow,
While you watch from your ivory tower.
See, how you feel is no big deal to me.
Do you think that I will just stand by
While you pontificate from up on high?
Your words fall on deaf ears-
No-one's heard of you down here
So turn cartwheels, its no big deal
to me.
Though you pour your scorn on all below
No-one cares so there's nowhere to
go. Let go.
One day soon you'll have to understand
You cannot dictate the way I am.
I could talk to you
But I've got better things to do
Always something, never one thing baby
I wouldn't want to see you suffer, honey,
But this ain't the time for letting go, so hang on in.
What doesn't kill you makes you tougher, don't it?
You're stronger than anyone I know
And you can cry if you like
But don't give up the fight.
Can two wrongs make a right?
Please stay here one more night.
What if the worst of it is over? Finished,
Only it's too soon now to know. Just hold on tight,
There could be rolling fields of clover growing
Waiting to push up through the snow.
You can swear if you like
But don't give up the fight.
Only you can decide
To stay here one more night.
Always something,
Its never one thing, baby,
I can't imagine how you're feeling (Don't ask!)
I could be there someday myself,as we both know
Now's a good time for love and healing.Ready?
Picture yourself in perfect health.
And you can stare at the light
But don't give up the fight,
Two wrongs don't make a right
So stay here one more night.
Always something,
Never one thing, baby,
Always something.
What's the time
I'm wide awake
You're in my head
Where've I been?
You're years behind and miles ahead
Anyone could see that you're delicious
But for me I'm decidedly capricious
I'm content to follow blindly
Though you don't know where to go
Hold my hand and jump in with me
I need you is all I know
I'm so far behind myself they've closed the gate
You're the key
Don't you dare let me escape
What was I thinking?
Why am I choosing?
I'm a junkie dependant on losing
I'm content to follow blindly
Though you don't know where to go
Hold my hand and jump in with me
I need you is all I know
I need a friend to help me build a fire
Love drown me in a ocean of desire
What's the time?
I'm wide awake
You're in my head
I'm content to follow blindly
Though you don't know where to go
Hold my hand and jump in with me
I need you is all I know
I'm content to follow blindly
Though you don't know where to go
Hold my hand and jump in with me
I need you is all I know
All I know...
My caravan
Is far from home
I seek a path to parts unknown
My caravan
Hides from the Sun
By moonlit night my journey's done
Your smallest wish
Is my command
My caravan
Ships in the night
Ships of the sand
The camels in my caravan
May Allah smile (ah)
Upon your land (ah)
And safely guide my caravan (ah, ah)
His smallest wish
Is our command
My caravan
I build my dreams
On shifting sand
My caravan
(Ah)
(Ah)
Did we ever meet in Zanzibar?
Two Caucasians at the town bazaar
Are you who you say you are?
Did you offer me a dark cigar?
You must have thought you were so bourgeois
Are you who you say you are?
After all these years, you haven't changed at all
But I can't say you look the same
Summer days are hot in Zanzibar
In the night, the sky is filled with stars
Listen, you can hear your guitars
Native people, skins as black as tar
Wear bright colored robes in Zanzibar
They've never even heard of ska
On a guided tour of limestone caves
Did we see where the traders kept their slaves?
Was that how we spent the day?
After all these years, you haven't changed at all
But I, I can't say you look the same
I have never been to Zanzibar
I have always thought it was too far
You're not who you say you are
You're not who you say you are
You're my turkey dinner,
You're good enough to eat.
Open up that oven.
Your juices smell so sweet
They smell so sweet.
I'll provide the gravy
It's a family recipe.
The secret's in the stuffing
(And I'm sure you'll agree. You will agree.)
Oh, Thanksgiving,
Thanks for giving her to me
Will I choose a drumstick?
Or start with a wing?
Maybe eat some white meat?
I want everything!
Everything!
You're my turkey dinner and
You're my heart's desire.
You're my one reason for living,
Seagulls fly an opal sky
Likewise, fish are swimming in the ocean
Sunlight streaming thru the clouds
Not a care in this world, not a notion
I don't know if I should laugh or cry
You make me feel like I will never die
You can open my eyes with your sweet loving.
Flowers! gently open wide
Swallow me up whole inside a daydream
Everything is nothing here
And nothing really ever is as it seems
I appreciate the majesty
Colliding in this lovely catastrophe
You can open my eyes with your sweet loning.
...And it's a long, long way
It's a sunshine day
It's a long, long way from where I began...
The moon, he's smiling down on us
Stars, they dance across the heavens above
I feel like a child again
My arms wrapped around the girl that I love
Ooh, angel, you blow my soul
All the wonders of this world now unfold...
Bases are loaded,
Two out and you're at the plate.
Time to start swinging
"Don't think too hard, son, you'll be great."
You know about pressure.
Two down and you're on the brink.
The stadium's shouting
So loud you can't hear yourself think.
(Strike One!) Let's play ball!
(Strike Two!) - One bad call.
Just up from the minors
A kid with potential, they said.
You've dreamed of this moment,
One game you'll never forget.
(Ball!) Ball one: now you spit
(Ball!) - Ball two: Where's that hit?
Bottom of the ninth, it depends on you.
You can save the game - you can lose it too.
You could make your name when you get that hit.
Winners never quit waiting for that hit
Remember in high school
The way you could knock'em all dead?
Now you're in the big league,
A man with a price on his head.
The pitcher is winding-
You pop behind third: it falls safe.
You're getting your timing.
Another like that, you're on base.
(Ball!) Ball three - this is it!
(Foul ball!) Foul back: where's that hit?
Here you are at Shea, your hearts in your throat
Will you make the grade? Will you miss the boat?
Hero of the day - Hero, or the goat?
Winners never quit waiting for that hit.
Do you know where nowhere is?
It's where you are
Do you know what nothing means?
Y O U
Do you know what no one thinks?
It's all about you
And do you know what?
Nobody cares
Well, you can't see the stars
In the daytime
And you can't see the sun
When it's night
But you can't even see
Yourself In the mirror
And I don't see you at all
Not at all
Do you know where
(Nowhere!)
Nowhere is?
You had everything
That you ever wanted
Man, you had it made
Was what you had
You forgot the only thing
You ever needed and you can't hide
You can't hide that from me
And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Oh, baby, tell me
Where have you been?
Now the stage is set
Where's my Juliet, baby?
Is it maybe, my midsummer
Night's Dream?
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
Tell me, what's my scene?
Like a talent scout
I'm always checking out new blood
Oh, I'd do good
If you tell me your game
Playing Solitaire
Doesn't get me where you would
And honey you could
Play by any rules that you to name
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
Tell me I gotta know
What's my, what's my
What's my, what's my scene?
What's my, what's my
What's my, what's my scene?
They say, yeah, they say
Making love, you can make it pay
They say, yeah, they say
But we know there's a better way any day
And another thing
I've been wondering lately
Am I crazy
To believe in ideals?
I'm a betting man
But it's getting damn lonely
Oh, honey, if only
I could be sure what I feel
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
What's my scene?
Tell me I gotta know
What's my, what's my
What's my, what's my scene?
What's my, what's my
What's my, what's my scene?
What's my, what's my
What's my, what's my scene?
What's my, what's my
What's my, what's my scene?
I've been caught in
Someone else's scene
Where, oh where
Oh where, can my scene be?
Oh, the nights are long
And I'm so tired of waking up tired,
Man, they just drag on and on
And I'm so tired of waking up tired.
The company I'm keeping
Won't let me get my sleep in.
Oh, I hate the light
And I'm so tired of waking up tired.
The morning sun is getting way too bright
And I'm so tired of waking up tired.
If I was worth a fortune
I'd never leave my bedroom
I just wanna stay right here, safe and sound.
Oh, I have to go
But I'm so tired of waking up tired.
The lights are on but there is no-one home
'Cos I'm so wired from waking up tired.
I need a month of Sundays
To help me cope with Mondays,
I just wanna stay right here, safe and sound.
Blankets pulled up to my ears, safe and
sound.
I need a good vacation
From too much recreation.
Oh, I'm late again
And I'm so tired, might even get fired.
I could blame it on a cancelled train
But I won't try it, I know they won't buy
If I was worth a fortune
I'd never leave my bedroom until next June!
I just wanna stay right here, safe and sound.
Blankets pulled up to my ears, safe and
sound.
Tracy.Tracy was angry.
a bad mood.A bad mood.
I told her,"it`s an ill wind
Blows no good.Blows no good."
Then she told me:
"Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin.
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Drwin."
I said,"Traicy,won`t you listen - this is Christmas!
Don`t you go.Don`t you go."
She said,"David,believe me,I wouldn`t miss this for the
world
I`ve got to blow.I`ve got to blow."
She said again:
"Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin."
Now she`s gone,gone,gone
Just like the wind.
I just sigh,I just sigh,
But I`m dreaming that I`m gleaming
In her eye,in her eye.
But I`ll always hear:
"Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin
Tojo never made it
Tojo never made it to Darwin."

I took my love out for a walk into the rain.
The time had come when we should talk things out again.
(Where did you go?) - I can't recall,
(What did you do?) - Not much at all,
The other side of paradise.
If we were perfect we would know a perfect love
But we're so different we can't go like a hand fits in a
glove.
(Where did you go?) - I can't recall,
(What did you do?) - Not much at all,
The other side of paradise.
The other side, the other side of your love
I'll cross that line, but that's not enough
It's too much.
And in the end it will depend on you and me,
And if you still call yourself my friend you soon will
It's in the way we treat ourselves and those all around.
We must believe that we can help if we can
Fight against our prejudice and try to straighten out
this mess.
(What did you do?) - I cannot recall,
(Where did you go?)- Not far at all
I'm primitive, I'm a primitive man
I got a primitive girl, we make primitive love
I'm a stoneage Romeo, I got a spaceage Juliet
We make primitive love, 'cause I ain't got a T.V. set.
I'm primitive that's what I am
I'm your primitive mate, I wanna be your man
I want you darling, you know I'm hip
Fly me to Venus, in a real gone rocket ship.
I'm a primitive man, I said I am!
You're up to date, but I can't wait
I'm a stoneage Romeo, be my spaceage Juliet
There's a feeling that I just can't shake,
A premonition it's all about to break.
I don't know what to do
To help it come on through.
Send a message, sign it S.O.S.
Hear me crying in the wilderness.
I hope my signal's clear,
Just like Paul Revere.
Something's coming - it could mean life or death.
People tell me to give Œtil it hurts
And everybody gets their just desserts.
All I ask of you
Remember, it takes two
It sure takes two.
Watch your back, my friend, you're gonna lose your shirt.
You can trust me - I never kiss and tell.
Better hurry before you break the spell.
If it's an uphill climb
There's no better time that you will find
Than the present - starting with yourself.
Show me some emotion,
I need to know right now.
How can I read your mind?
Truly my love is blind.
You must know I've fallen hard for you
But you don't react as if you do.
And your eyes just seem to look straight through.
But I see you.
Show me some emotion,
I cannot understand.
There is no need to hide
All that you feel inside.
Show some emotion -
Why are you waiting for?
How can I read your mind?
Truly my love is blind.
Did somebody hurt you once before?
There are other friendships left for you to explore.
You play your cards close to your chest,
What you're thinking I can only guess.
Here is my request (it's just this :)
Show me some emotion.
Show me your emotion.
How can I read your mind?
Truly my love must be blind.
In the valley,
Hidden valley,
Secret world below,
Is Her kingdom
Glowing crimson
By the lava flow.
I was captured,
Bound, enraptured
Kneeling at Her feet.
Then She beckoned.
In a second
My life was complete.
Is She my girl? She.
She is my girl. She.
On the mountain
Springs the fountain
Of eternal youth.
I was taken
To awaken
To an ancient truth.
She's the dreaming
With no meaning
In the light of day
And my senses
Sleep defenceless
As She slips away.
Is She my girl? She.
Dear John, so begins a famous old story
Goodbye,au-revoir, thanks for the memory
Keep it short and sweet if you really care
D I vor C E can be so hurtful
It makes public property of things that are personal
All the friends and family get their share
Ink is black, as black as night
Black as thoughts that shun the light
Truth will out and maybe then
You'll put down that poison pen, that poison pen
Everyone enjoys sharing a rumor
But when it's aimed at you it loses its humor
Sometimes words so innocent, cut so deep
Ink is black, as black as night
Black as thoughts that shun the light
Truth will out and maybe then
You'll put down that poison pen, that poison pen, that poison pen
Everybody's telling me, "Talk is cheap"
Sometimes words so innocent, cut so deep
Cut so deep, they cut so deep, so deep
Ink is black, as black as night
Black as thoughts that shun the light
Ink is black, as black as night
Black as thoughts that shun the light
Truth will out and maybe then
You'll put down that poison pen, poison pen
That poison pen, that poison pen, poison pen
Black as night, as black as coal
Black as thoughts that cast a shadow
Right across my soul
I thought that you were my friend
I don't like to interfere
But I've gotta say I've "had it up to
here",
I always hate to see you crying in
your beer.
You and her have had a fight,
Well, that seems to happen every other
night.
She thinks nothing that you do is ever
right,
Is that right?
You're gonna make her walk
The more you try to crawl.
If you don't please yourself you'll
please no-one at all.
Man to man, I think its sad -
You think happiness depends on feeling
(Now I see why she's the best you've
ever had).
And you want more of the same.
Truth be told, you both enjoy this
little game
But when it ends you'll only have
yourself to blame,
That's the shame.
If you don't take a stand
You're bound to take a fall.
If you won't help yourself you'll help
no-one at all.
So please yourself.
I don't want to pick a side.
You both do whatever gets you through
the night
But you better take this chance to put
it right.
You're gonna make her walk
The more you try to crawl.
If you don't please yourself you'll
please no-one at all.
No-one at all.
If you don't love yourself you'll love
no-one at all.
No-one at all.
Well, it's Friday night and I just got paid
Nothing on tomorrow, man, I got it made
We got an engine but we got no wheels
Don't need no petrol for our Gurumobile
'Cos we ain't going nowhere near the ground
We're on a rocket ship to inner space
Out into orbit moving in one place
And going faster than the speed of sound
Move your feet to the rhythm of love
Groove that beat-once is never enough
Dig my words, it's a happening scene
Hitch a ride on the party machine
You know we're gonna have a real cool time
Your wig will flip so high you'll lose your mind
Let's fIy a supersonic to the sun
There's people swinging on the chandelier
The pilot's singing to the bombardier
Ooh wee, Capracornia, here we come
(Here we go)
Blow your cool while the night is still young
Make your move, now you're having some fun
Catch my wave, won't you tune in on me?
Hitch a ride on the party machine
I say, where have you been? Where have you been?
On the party machine, on the party machine
I say, what did you see? What did you see?
I saw everything, everything and more
I wish tonight could last forever,
It's like I've never seen the stars before.
We sit in silence by a river,
Aware that this can't happen anymore.
And you catch the moonlight in your hair
and a whisper from nowhere softly tells me that
I don't want nobody
I don't want nobody
I don't want no-one if I don't have you.
I guess you've always shared my feelings
But until now they've only held us back.
A wilderness of fear and darkness
That now reveals itself as innocence.
And you are so perfect in my sight.
We fall silent like the night that protects us.
And I don't want nobody
I don't want nobody
I don't want no-one if don't have you.
We must return to home and shelter
and, like before, we'll go our separate ways.
What we have shared can't make any difference now,
Your lover calls, your lover calls
And you go back there
While I only wonder what I'll do
All tomorrow without you-
All I know is now
I don't want nobody
Never thought we'd ever end.
I can't afford to lose more friends.
Not to have you close at hand
Wasn't quite what I had planned.
(It's that time)
Is it that time?
A moment that will pass
(Yes, it's that time)
Is it that time?
We knew it couldn't last.
I'm just trying to catch my breath.
A heart that beats itself to death,
Panic stricken by the thought
You're not here for my support.
(But its that time)
Is it that time?
A curtain has to fall.
(Yes, it's that time)
Is it that time?
The writing's on the wall.
(You're in your prime )
You're in your prime now, darling,
And that's the worst of all.
It's just that time.
Night must fall.
I'm so lonely.
I'm so sorry.
Can we ever justify
Letting sleeping hatred lie?
In the trenches hand-to-hand
Is the measure of a man.
Am I a man?
(It's that time)
Is it that time?
The light has almost gone.
(Yes, it's that time)
Is it that time?
The carnival moves on.
You're in your prime
(You're in your prime now, darling)
And you did nothing wrong,
It's just that time.
Night has come.
I'm lone-lone-lone... I'm so lonely.
You can't take me anywhere, I'll strip down to my
underwear
If you give me half a chance.
Hippy-freelove, outtasight! I'm gonna turn off every
light
And hold a private dance.
It started out one afternoon, hot sake in my living
room
Among some special friends.
Soon some others dropped around and we all started
gaffing down, well,
You know how these things end!
Miss Freelove, Come back sometime-
Miss Freelove of '69.
Torches flashing sweaty passion, each made love in
their own fashion-
We had quite a ball!
Do the monkey, feeling funky, I'm just like any disco
junkie
And I don't care at all.
Maybe I'm not thinking straight, I only know that it
feels great
And I'm glad you do too.
It could be just a passing fad but think about the fun
we had
The last time you decided to pass through.
Miss Freelove, come back sometime
Miss Freelove of '69.
And everything is gone and far away
And everything is gone and that's o.k.
And everything is groovy, would you say?
Would you say?
Someone called the cops on us. They didn't have the
heart to bust
The kinky scene they found.
They checked their badges at the door and joined the
action on the floor
(When they laid their nightsticks down!)
Miss Freelove .......
La-la-la-la love
Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my hand in the middle of the land
You'll see something that's new in the sunshine
You'll be the winter that's turning to springtime
Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my hand in the middle of the land
Someday someone will try to confuse you.
They'll say things you want to hear and they'll use you.
I thought we'd live and learn
But some folks seem to yearn
For values unsophisticated.
Those days are dead and gone
I won't wish them back upon
A world that's much more complicated.
Here I stand in the middle of my ...
Take my hand, I'm always glad to lend a hand.
They'll try to blind you with T.V. religion.
Don't buy their hand-me-down second - opinions.
Sometimes the biggest lies
Are most easily disguised,
Dressed up like the Road To Glory,
Then somewhere down the line
You'll rub your eyes and find
You're on a path to your own Purgatory.
You'll know something as old as the moonlight,
You'll throw superstition and fear away tonight.
They'll paint us black and white,
They'll paint us wrong and right,
They'll paint us all into a corner.
They'll try to cool us down
But they could never fool us now.
We're steamed-up hotter than a Swedish Sauna!
Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my, take my hand - your horizons will expand.
Land - in the middle, middle of the land
I need a lover for a friend.
I need a lover for a friend.
If it doesn't happen soon I just might come to a sticky
end.
I need a heart to call my own.
I need someone who's mine-and mine alone.
Someone who ain't afraid to explore the twilight zone.
I thought I'd found the one,
She said she was my pal,
The next thing that I knew she had
Propelled me straight to hell.
I need a lover for a friend.
It might be unrealistic but still, I can pretend.
Let me pretend.
Do I - Do I have to tell you one more time?
Do I have to tell you one more time?
I thought I spelled it out for you -
do I have to hang a sign?
I kiss the ground on which you walk
I kiss the lips through which you talk
I kiss the city of New York
Where I first met you
You're my doll and don't forget it
'Cause I'm the guy who will regret it
I love you more than when I said it
When I first met you
I love the way you talk, you walk
You smile, your style
Like now, like wow-wipeout, no doubt
But I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
You'll never be a beauty queen
Won't feature in no magazine
But you're the best that's ever been
I'm glad that I met you
Take every day now as it comes
You take the cake, I'll keep the crumbs
I only hear the sound of drums in my heart
That I get you
I love the way you walk, you talk, you smile
Your style, your dress, your caress
Well, yes, yes, yes, yes, I'm impressed
And I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
I love the way you talk, you walk
You smile, your style
Like now, like wow-wipeout, no doubt
But I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you
Don't look to the future - you don't want to know
What's wrong with this picture: "The future is in radio"?
A.M., F.M., what's in a name?
To me, they're one and the same
(it drives me insane).
I need a sound that ain't found six feet underground,
it's driving me to despair.
I search your dial for a smile like it's going out of
style.
Is there anyone there?
Don't tell me the weather is gonna be cold.
You know you should never commit yourself
to statements so bold.
Golden oldies, tired and true,
In ten years what will you do?
(I'm talking to you!)
What about superstars
surrounded by bodyguards,
champagne and caviar?
You're gonna need some Anusol,
[Guru]
Mmm, is this really the end, or is it a new beginning?
A new reality..
Chorus: Guru + Baybe (repeat 2X)
So many misconceptions (don't be misled)
So many evil deceptions (oh I am)
I've come to give direction
For I, am the lifesaver (the life)
[Guru]
Scooby doo wah, scooby doo wee
Like a jazz player, I improvise wisely
Free with the style, I flow like the Nile
but remember, don't mistake the smile
Deep rooted is my rhymin
Like ancient African griots, precise is my timing
But let me get to the essence of what I'm sayin here
Too many blood red streets with bodies layin there
The systematic fanatics are at it again
Tryin to kill me and all of us my friend
But don't bend to the mental strain
Against all odds, we must strive for essential gains
Be true to the life the Lord gave ya
And that's a message from the lifesaver
The lifesaver..
Chorus
[Baybe]
Oh I am, the life (I.. am the lifesaver)
I am, the life.. yeah
[Guru]
It takes a more intelligent man to squash a fight
than to set one off, knowledge I'll let some off
Cause nowadays, everybody's a killer
And as for me, no other MC is iller
but still a thorn scrapes my heart
when I see another life that's been torn apart
over nonsense, no law, no order, it's evidence
that the money only takes precedence
Cause everybody wants power
While the innocent are born or die, during every hour
I scowl as I look upon evil
but I must have the strength, to spark awareness in my people
And we will learn to respect our neighbors
Another message from the lifesaver
The lifesaver..
Chorus
[Guru]
People talk about the Armaggedeon
And nowadays everyone you know is packin lead son
Each day's another test
Aiyyo I better do my best, cause a lot's ridin on my chest
So when I lead you to the water, you best know
how to swim across, so you can reach the border
It's international, the message and the flavor
So here's some more important words from the lifesaver
The lifesaver.. (I am the life)
The lifesaver..
[Lucien] *
garçon faché grandissant dans la violence et la peace, le mot "peace"
c'est pour ceux qui perissent
chaque jour dans alentours dans le monde et ses tours
dans present, dans retourn en arriere dans le fours
et les cons les fait des rondes
des ville grandes
la terre chauffe les somets des montagnes fondre
pendant ça passe black ça casse
telle est mon uniform dans une vie a contre race
sans me regarde on me mit en garde-a-vue
certains cafardent, d'autres bavardent et tue
des dedicases à tout quartier toute cité ont pas de chance ou pour seux
qui sont tombé mais pas pour la france
pays trop bidon
vivement armageddon
j'ai raison
previent jéhovah pour mon pardon
car si un flic me juge je le droite dans son oeil et le fond de son
cerveau
je gratte
... (goes off to fade)
[Guru]
So many misconceptions
So many evil deceptions
I've come to give direction
Somewhere on a South Pacific island
Sits a young man staring at the surf
His native girlfriend died a death quite violent
A tribal sacrifice made to the earth
She was brown, her hair was black, her eyes were blue
A chief's daughter, Leilani was her name
She and her young man made a handsome two
But lava tore them both apart again
Leilani, don't go to the volcano
(He'd say)
They were saving for a little hut
She collected sea shells every day
Every night, they'd share a cigarette
But the ancient, angry Gods got in the way
Leilani, don't go to the volcano
(He'd plead)
Katoomba, hey, Macumbah, ho
Umgawah, hey, ho, hey, eh, ah
Leilani, crula, bula, ulladulla, wok, a, tai
Aba, laba, laba, hut
Leilani, nevageta, huta, tera, cota, tile
Aba, laba, laba, hut
Umgawah
Still the young man sits upon the beach
He's staring misty eyed out into space
He's thinking about his girlfriend
(Of late, deceased)
At least her death had purpose, now his life is a waste
Leilani, don't go to the volcano
Hear the jungle bells calling all the pilgrims.
Hear the jungle bells scaring all the children.
It ain't the Voice of God, now darling,
Or the work of human hand
But they're reaching out to you
From the hinterland.
Hear the jungle bells warning all the strangers.
Hear the jungle bells ringing in the changes.
Once a mission stood there, darling,
Choked to death in tangled vines
But when the night is still
You can hear their chimes. (Hear ghostly chimes.)
Hear the jungle bells, they start the dogs to howling.
Hear the jungle bells, as if the night was growling -
"We don't care who you are, now darling,
But you won't find your welcome here,
And when we call your name
I want for nothing,
Yeah, I got it all.
I'm a superhuman
And I'm ten feet tall.
I'm truly perfect
In every way
And, like Alexander,
I feel great!
It's all mine
It's all mine, yeah.
You're a living legend -
Only in your mind.
(I would never tell you
But I'm feeling kind).
You're nothing special,
You would agree,
And you're so lucky
To know me.
It's all mine
It's all mine, yeah.
I keep improving
Like vintage wine.
Come and taste it -
Get in line.
I will drive down Highway One.
It's the end that's just begun.
And I'm cruising 110,
Going nowhere - the road is my best friend
White Line Fever has got in my blood
I'm a river running full flood.
One road all around this land,
Like the lifeline in my hand.
Out from nowhere the radio sings of
Distant memories that tug on my heartstrings.
I feel twisted, feeling uptight,
As her face keeps fading from sight
In the Wild.
See me spinning out in the sun
I will burn on Highway One.
I'm just burning in the sun,
I can't stop until she comes.
In the Wild.
As I was out walking home alone one night
I saw this man approaching, he wore a coat of white
He said, "You don't know me, but you'll very soon find out
Then the world was darkness as a cloth clamped around my mouth
I said, where am I? Ohh
Where am I? Ohh
I'm gonna rue
How can I escape?
Slowly I recovered, my head was aching bad
I was laying on the carpet inside this madman's lab
Then a voice was speaking from behind a glass walled booth
It said, "Welcome stranger, we've got serious work to do"
Where am I? Ohh
Where am I? Ohh
Someone say more
What's his fiendish plan?
He simply, calmly said "You are my guinea pig
I'm an unsound engineer
I'm going to see how much a man can dig
A thousand voices in his ever decreasing human ear"
In the echo chamber I almost went insane
Even my own heartbeat caused my eardrum pain
It was like a Phil Spector nightmare, that crazy echo machine ran wild
It was louder, getting louder, I thought that I would die
Where am I? Ohh
Where am I? Ohh, say more
I never got out of there though I've tried and tried
For twenty more years
That's why I am where I am now, yes
Where am l? Ohh, where am l? Ohh
Where am l? Ohh, where am l?
Gonna tear it down before I go
If I only knew what I know
I would not have done what I did.
You said all along I was wrong
But I went and did it anyway. Yes, I went
and did it anyway.
But if only... (you should listen)
But if only... (stop and think)
I was in control (so I thought)
With a foolproof plan - what a joke!
Proving what a fool I can be
As it all exploded in my face.
Whatever made me do it anyway?
But if only... (time's a-wasting)
But if only... (Just move on)
But if only... (No use chasing)
But if only... (What is gone)
Oh, you sentimental fool,
You're finding out life can be cruel,
You cannot bend the rules.
Oh, you sentimental fool,
You find some coal and think that you'll
Create a precious jewel.
You sentimental fool!
But if only... (something ventured)
But if only... (nothing gained)
But if only... (You were captured)
But if only... (By your game)
Oh, you temperamental fool,
You've got to keep your engine cool -
You're burning too much fuel.
Oh, you temperamental fool
You think you'll find somebody who'll
Be warm when you are cool.
You temperamental fool!
Picking myself up off the ground
Everybody knows how that feels!
To be wrong again, as I know I will
It really doesn't matter anyway
But if only... (time's a wasting)
But if only... (just move on)
But if only... (no use chasing)
But if only... (what is gone)
But if only... (catching rainbows)
(can't be done)
But if only... (fleeting haloes)
Darling, this is goodbye
Kiss me, I don't know why
You were always beautiful when you closed your eyes
Leave now, while we still can
Let's not wait until it all gets out of hand
You're looking for a criminal, well, I'm a guilty man
I was the one
We were wrong from the start
Maybe we tried just a Iittle too hard
You don't have to blame yourself
You always played your part
I was the one
I was
Darling, look at us now - look at us now
History won't put us down - won't put us down
Don't let anybody say you could have worked it out
I was a, was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane, I couldn't fly it home
Taught how to take off, I don't know how to land
They say it doesn't matter and I just cannot understand
I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane, I couldn't fly it home
Left my happy homeland in a zero
I got engine trouble so I couldn't be a hero
(Do you think I care?)
Now I'll keep my two feet on the ground
'Cause when you're in the clouds
Everybody tries to shoot you down
I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane, I couldn't fly it home
On an island there ain't too much to do
Look after number one 'cause I think I can see
Lee Marvin chasin' after you
I was a kamikaze pilot
They gave me a plane, I couldn't fly it home
