Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He came to prominence as an early participant in London's pub rock scene in the mid-1970s and later became associated with the punk/New Wave genre. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image".
Costello has won multiple awards in his career, including a Grammy Award, and has twice been nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male. In 2003, Elvis Costello & the Attractions were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Costello number 80 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Costello was born Declan Patrick MacManus in St Mary's Hospital, London, the son of Lilian Alda (née Ablett, b. 1927, Liverpool) and Ross MacManus (1927–2011), a musician and bandleader. He is of Irish heritage. Costello lived in Twickenham, attending Hounslow Secondary Modern School, which is now St Mark's Catholic Secondary School, in neighbouring Hounslow. With a musically inclined father (who was a jazz trumpeter and sang with The Joe Loss Orchestra), Costello's first broadcast recording was alongside his dad in a television commercial for R. White's Lemonade (I'm a Secret Lemonade Drinker). His father wrote and sang the song; Costello provided backing vocals. The advertisement won a silver award at the 1974 International Advertising Festival.
Saw her sitting on the corner
With her feet down in the water
And no one ever helped her
And no one ever taught her
For such a lovely daughter
Couldn't be more lost in water
With no one to believe in
She will get inside your head
She's the waves inside your bed
She will get inside your head
She's the waves inside your bed
Saw her sitting on the corner
In her masquerade
Saw her sitting on the corner
Black ran down her face
Saw her sitting on the corner
With her feet down in the water
And no one ever helped her
And no one ever taught her
For such a lovely daughter
Couldn't be more lost in water
With no one to believe in
She will get inside your head
Like the wolf travels through the snow
She's the waves inside your bed
Where the wind travels she must follow
She will get inside your head
Like the wolf travels through the snow
She's the waves inside your bed
Where the wind travels she must follow
It's so much so much so much darker in the sun
When you when you when you run
It's so much so much so much darker in the sun
When you when you when you run
She will get inside your head
Just like the wolf travels through the snow
She's the waves inside your bed
She came from the land of the cotton
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And she
She worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Oh, she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
Then he
He looked down and he took a little pity
The whole town swore he knew he'd help her some
And he
He didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
For deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
Oh, she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
She had the faith, she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
And prayed every night to the Lord up above
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
And they
Use to walk singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure she'd have to go away
She never knew what her life had to give her
She never had to worry about it for one single day
Oh, she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
She had the faith, she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
And prayed every night to the Lord up above
Singin' Hallelujah, Hallelujah
And she
She came from the land of the cotton
Land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
Well she worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
Oh, she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
First time i saw her it was heaven
prettiest thing i'd ever seen
i knew from that moment she was the only girl, i love her
that's when she gave her heart to me
She belongs to you and me
She's the angel in our dreams
Thank you lucky stars, she fell in love with me
Were not for her, you and i would never be
Sometime in december was the day ou were conceived
We were as close as close could be
Now you cant remember but the day hat you were born
you were even closer then me
God only knows how much she loves you
Well i've just as much as she, yes i do
Boy i only hope when you grow up you'll find a woman
She forse sara' la prima che
io non potrò dimenticar
la mia fortuna o il prezzo che
dovrò pagar
She la canzone nata qui
che ha gia cantato chissa' chi
l'aria d'estate che ora c'è
nel primo autunno su di me
She la schiavitu' la liberta'
il dubbio la serenita'
preludio a giorni luminosi oppure bui
She sara' lo specchio dove io
riflettero' progetti e idee
il fine ultimo che avro' da ora in poi.
She così importante così unica
dopo la lunga solitudine
intransigente e imprevedibile
She forse l'amore troppo atteso che
dall'ombra del passato torna a me
per starmi accanto fino a che vivro'
She a cui io non rinuncerei
sopravvivendo accanto a lei
ad anni combattuti ed avversita'
She sorrisi e lacrime da cui
prendono forma i sogni miei
ovunque vada arriverei
a passo a passo accanto a
Lay a hand
Upon the water
Well within, well within
Wash away
To fair morrow
Ride ahead, ride ahead
Make your mark
Upon the rock
For another one
Ashes tell tales
Fire gives faith
Burn it up burn it up
Burn it up burn it up
She would waste not, not in struggle
No other shall there ever be
And what she is to love, listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
Don't you pray
Of a heartless town
Or you'll be forced to flee
Don't you live
In a soulless city
Or you'll have to leave
You don't need
No place of birth
Hither to come home
Many a night
Were you ready for your bed
But your bed not ready for you
She would give of herself
And ask not return or eternity
And what she'd offer, listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
And she'd hold not, of another man
No other shall there ever be
And whom she would hold
Listen oh my brother
I really need her
She loves
I have found a lady
That's so real to reality
She's the kind of lady
That's so fresh and dressed to the trip
Flowers, fancy car, diamonds and gold
She wears it well
She's the kind that's close to me
And flower can't you tell
She's mine
She's mine
And she's fine
And I know so deep in my heart
I really need her
And I know that
She - is the one I love
She - one I'm thinking of
She - that girl blows my mind
She - I know my girl is fine
Leather and lace and designer pantyhose
She looks so good to me
Bad from head to toe
Body so hot
Looks so good
She makes me sweat
I know I love that girl
I know I can't forget her
She's mine
She's mine
And she's fine
And I know so deep in my heart
I really need her
And I now that
She - is the one I love
She's - one I'm thinking of
She's - the lady of my dreams
She's - not the way it seems
And I know that
she is my inspiration
she is my destination
and i want her, to hold my heart in her hands
and she is the one, that holds my life in her heart
right from the start
when will i see her again
when will i see her
she is the one who brings life to my heart
but i find myself in doubt
thinking all this is my fault
but i know that she loves me but i always questioned
and she thinks that love comes from the stars
but i know she's right but i, i need her
she's mine, all i need is what i need
when will i see her again
when will i see her
(chorus)
she, she's a lot things
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.
Fools say that I've lost my way
They say that from my path I've strayed away
Who'll clear my way to a better day
Who'll cleanse my veins and take all my pains away
She takes me in, She holds me in
She keeps me away from my sin
She makes me feel, Shemakes me real
She give me time to heal and
I never want to see the pain scar her fade again and
I never want to leave the warm embrace of my true friend
Sitting back I realize the mistakes I've made
Moving forward hope to find a simpler way
Feel as if the gods have damned my everyday
She takes me in, She holds me in
She keeps me away from my sin
She makes me feel, Shemakes me real
She give me time to heal and
I never want to see the pain scar her fade again and
Elle
Avait dix-huit ans
Les cheveux au vent
La ligne
D'un cygne
Qui dépliait ses...
(She
was eighteen years old
Hair in the wind
The line
Of a swan
Who's unfolding her (wings))
Elle
Avait les accents
D'un oiseau chantant
Et tous les musiciens
Se retournaient sur...
(She
Had the lines
Of a singing bird
And all musicians
Were turning to (her))
Elle
Avait tout l'éclat
De ce siècle-là
Où la valse
Etait reine
Où l'amour était roi
Dans un ciel
De dentelles
Irré...
(She
Had all the shinning
Of that century
Where the waltz
Was queen
Where love was king
In a sky
Of lace
Unreal)
Elle
Promenait ses mains
Sur un clavecin
Et Chopin la trouvait
B...elle
N'avait qu'à sourire
Pour le faire écrire
Écoutez
Les préludes
Qu'il composait pour elle
(She
Was walking her hands
On a harpsichord
And Chopin was considering her
Beautiful
Only had to smile
To make him write
Listen to
The preludes
He was composing for her)
Elle
J'ai tant rêvé d'elle
Parlé avec elle
Que souvent
Je me prends
Pour elle
(She
I so much dreamed about her
Spoke with her
That often
I take myself
For her)
Elle
Est mon idéal
La plus grande étoile
Et je veux
Ressembler
À son portrait fidèle
Il n'y a qu'elle
Et c'est elle
Mon mod...
(She
Is my ideal
The biggest star
And I want
To look like
Her accurate portrait
The was only her
And it's her
My model)
Elle
Avait dix-huit ans
Les cheveux au vent
La magie
Des folies
Que l'on faisait pour elle
C'était la plus belle
Je voudrais être...elle!
(She
Was eighteen years old
Hair in the wind
The magic
Of the irrational things
They were doing for her
She was the most beautiful
You never will forgetthis rainy winter day
Thats she gone in morning dawn you`ll never understand
Because she was nothing said
You keep your eyes wide open
It`s raining on your head
Your head is full of hoping
That you since this cold winter day
Already would be dead
You fight against the tears,
The killing love, the killing pain
Whenever she come back to you
You`ll love her once again
Look in my face
Look in my eyes
Say that your words
are some little lies
Look in my heart
like never before
And then say and lie
That you don`t love me no more
Look in my face
See my pain
And then know that I love you
Ever again
Look in my eyes
Look at my skin
You must feel that this fight
You can not win
Look in my face
How often regret
You the futile try
At last to forget
She was leaving without words in morning dawn of rainy day
And when you cried her lovely bname she was so far away
Your lips are burning even now from her last ardent kiss
You call her name with dark-eyed tears forever you will miss
You call her name with heart full of fears -
She knows - about all the evil in this world
She knows - what blackness lurks in our souls
She parts her lips and gives me a literary quip
Sharper and sweeter than any cat-o-nine tails whip
She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing
She says - come on and swing away from blue
She says - don't yeild to it's atmospheric hue
She's got the power to make things turn out right
Even in the darkest hour of the very blackest night
She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing
Eyes limped and pools of passion
Lips of deepest darkest damson
Fingers probing show white skin
Like a leather disciplinary
Looking rather predatory
Like an emissary of sin
She knows - we've got nothing more to prove
She knows - we're dancing in a dead mans shoes
She says let's check out of this haunted hotel
Where all the corridors and doorways are leading straight to hell
She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing
She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing
[Chorus:]
So there you go again you say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down? (I can't hold you down [x2])
It's only right that you should play the way you're feelin
But listen carefully to the sound of the loneliness
And a heartbeat drives you mad
[Verse 1: Mykah9]
Heartbreaker, Love maker, I smoke weed by the acre, LA Laker
I get a hoe and I'll break her
That's how it goes down, might not take my time with it
Try ta fake her, dig in the crater, dig in the fader
Treat every illustrious Goddess the way that she needs to be treated, Mykah modest
I will when I'm honest, daybreak they promise
They start goin on & on with this drama
I don't know what's up witchu ma'
I'm breakin' up witchu ma'
When I first met you I was all struck, constrictin'
Just wanted to start kickin
All my pain, cut in head instead
Mykah now spendin' all his bread
But girl when you in the bed & when you in my bed
Girl I love you instead
But now that it's over I don't think about you no more
I'm back just makin my bread
Watchin the dough rise
But I'm still thinkin 'bout those thighs
In my enterprise you wanna cling on
But when I really realize I'm better off when you're gone
[Hook:]
So there you go again you say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down? (I can't hold you down [x2])
It's only right that you should play the way you're feelin
But listen carefully to the sound of the loneliness
An' a heartbeat drives you mad
And it seems like you're remem'ring what you had
[Verse 2: Sunspot Jonz]
Ya, Sunspot used to have dem dreams
Me comin home get you out them jeans
I'm a sex fiend, nympho
Once did it blindfold
Bitch you had me blind, I was tied up til nightfall
She didn't know that I knew her name
She didn't know about my ex ex-flames
Can't be a pimp forever, whateva is whateva
Does love last forever?
Saw a fortune teller, she told me you were crazy
Old news, lady
The girls a real psycho, but the only one for me
My number one homey, number one enemy
Askin me who is that on the caller ID
Please Mykah has to grow
We can rock it once more
I like good girls who like to dress like hoez...
We gon do it once more.
[Hook:]
So there you go again you say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down? (I can't hold you down [x2])
It's only right that you should play the way you're feelin
But listen carefully to the sound of the loneliness
An' a heartbeat drives you mad
She?s all weak
And her heart beats so
She can?t speak
With the lights so low
Just to be one of a crowd
Feet scuttling across the floor
Spinning lights 'round and 'round
It?s adolescent war
She craves noise and the music blares
Girl calls to a boy
(And my heart is true, oh to you)
He just stands and stares
Just to be one of a crowd
Feet scuttling across the floor
Spinning lights round and round
And it?s adolescent war
Shoes grind kick like crazy
And arms tangling up with hair
Shaking them up and down again
And hearts pounding everywhere
She slows down
Has the music gone
She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
When she takes off her clothes
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
She glows around you like the moon
She smiles at her reflection in a spoon
She reads expensive magazines
She sees herself in everything
You can't judge her for that
She knows where her head is at
You can't judge her for that
She knows where her head is at
She's tangled up in you
She's laced up in your shoe
She's got a ladder to the sky
She's got a mad look in her eye
You can't judge her for that
She knows where her head is at
You can't judge her for that, oh no
She knows where her head is at
She moves in simple curves
She speaks in simple words
And it's simple to be in love with her
And it's simple to be in love with her
You can't judge her for that
She knows where her head is at
You can't judge her for that, oh no
She knows where her head is at
You call her home
And you want to move in
You call her home
And you want to move in
No but bad house is not a home
And a home is not a house
When there's not enough room for you
You call her home
And you want to move in
You call her home sweet home
Sweet home, sweet, sweet home
She gets everything she wants, but nothing that she needs
No respect for what things cost, or who she wants to be
Just neglect for what's been lost, 'cause nothing is for free
How can we let her get away with being this way
We've been shattered by her can't you see she has to pay
In her shadow I reside
I scream but no one's listening
Would anyone know if I died
I'm sick of no one seeing I'm alive
(In her shadow I decide I won't stay longer
In a place with silent hate inside the choice is violence towards her in disguise)
She has everything I want, but nothing that I need
Nothing earned like what I've got, gets anything she sees
Lives the life that I cannot, 'cause nothing is for free
[Hook: Mibbs, Like, & TiRon]
She hugs and kisses, loves attention
You know how she gets down
Loves that money, honey can't get enough
That's why she (shake that, shake that)
Shake that baby (go 'head shake that, shake that)
Shake that baby (sh-sh-she's got to have it)
[Verse 1: Like]
Baby got the Gucci on the frames, Fendi on the shoulder
She hang around the rappers, she kick it with the
rollers
She addicted to the light, you would swear she was the
solar
System on bang while she dipping in the Rover
I was sipping on a soda when I first seen her roll up
Car pull right behind her, parking at the diner
Strutting down the aisle, everybody stopped to eye her
I'm peeping in the cut with thoughts to get in that
vagina
Simple old me, tried to pimp it on she
But damn she ain't having that
She wanna see my crib on TV with a couple Humvees
And then I might have a chance, but wait, wait
A couple weeks passed, I had stopped to get gas
Heard a voice to my left, she was talking real fast
High-pitched was her tone, smiled at me then she asked
"Ain't you in that one group?"
I looked at her and laughed, hit the gas!
[Hook]
[Verse 2: BeYoung]
I was treated like a dirtbag, growing up
Everything that they used to do, was cold as fuck
All I had was my dreams of, blowing up
Couldn't really do shit so I, soaked it up
Played my part, seen girls hate on me like it was an
I tried to play it smart
Why the baby hair have niggas always throw they heart
I played the role of sucka hoping for the chance to
spark
A convo, now it's like "Bravo!"
Everywhere that I go
It's like I struck the lotto
They throw the gato at me
They used to call me nappy
Now they bring they homegirls, hoping they can tag me
On some take one, get the other free shit
Let me cook for you, let me spend the weekend
Falling in love with you
Let me show you everything that I love to do
Say what?
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Mibbs]
I wonder how she moved in that tight ass room
Sweating out her weave and her cheap perfume
She hotter than the sun, I can be her moon
And when the night is done, my house'll be her tomb
Soon we'll go together like spinal cords and car seats
Or kind of like my words and hard beats
She whispered in my ear she's an artist
But I ain't trying to hear all that, straight to the
bar please
We at the bar and she asked to see my car keys
I'm like "Why?" and this was her reply:
"I ain't fucking with guys unless they drive
Nothing less than a 6, or a 745
You ain't willing to trick? I'mma play you to the side
So if you ain't rich, might as well not even try"
Sigh...I asked the bartender for my card back
"Sorry I'm not that dude, I'mma fall back."
[Hook]
[Outro: Like]
Pac Div, Cook, what's good?
This beat right here
Make a nigga wanna start singing some shit like:
She think she can have what she want
Get what she want, take what she want
But you ain't getting shit from me
Nothing from me
Cause I ain't lying
We here grinding
And you wasting time
We are all glass
And our friends electric
This is our Dark Nation
This is my secret weapon
And you know when it's driving
Could I feel more alive?
Always thriving
And she is everything you see
Dirty Dreamer
Instigator
Are you anywhere?
Aries
Yeah
It's the game
Yeah
All the same
She make the world come alive
I'm not scared
Always be prepared
Living life like a scarecrow
There's no time for sleep
And I'm not scarred
Though peeling away
Peeling away all the layers
This is the real me
[Hook: Big Sean]
Oh God
She gon' have it
She gon' keep it
She said she gon' have it
She gon' keep it
She gon' have it
Aww shit there go our little secret
[Verse 1: Big Sean]
It was all good just a week ago
Worst problem that I had was that my speakers blown
In my whip, fuck it I got me a job
I feel rich I ain't gotta sell weed I'm legit
Shit I seen her pull up in a parking lot first
Thought I had was hotties, hoes didn't find where I work
Then her friend, "Hey go girl go tell em'"
I knew she was mad as hell when that bitch said, "Tell em'"
All because I hit and stop textin'
But before I finish that thought she told me she pregnant (The fuck?)
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Big Sean]
She like I ain't try to argue with it, I know you got bitches
I just hit you back because I'm moving forward with this shit
Really my mom and my aunt was my father figures
I just figured with fathers it might make all the difference
I'm sayin', "Is it mine? Do we gotta get Maury involved with it?"
"How many niggas you think that I done had all in it? Stupid nigga"
I don't even know why I'm sayin shit'
I hate to be on that all-nigga's-the-same shit
But shit I'm saying girl it is what it is
We talking kids with a kid and a crib with a crib
But I ain't tryin' to leave believe
I would be a good dad just like my dad was to me
And I can't tell you to kill that shit my mom had me
And I can't tell you to keep a shit we ain't ready
Now I gotta tell my family to pull up a seat
Cause I planted a seed and about to extend the family tree
And we so stressed out that I called her weed man
I prolly gotta bout a whole family tree
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Big Sean (Common)]
Granny called my mom sayin' I have demons
I heard my parents talkin' in the next bed
(To raise Sean we damn near had to give our left leg
What the hell they teachin' these kids in sex ed?)
Everything that I forgot while getting the best head
I know couples who took classes cause they couldn't
I know ball players who pay strippers so they wouldn't
What really make me feel like I ain't shit
Is that I still gotta tell my main chick
[Hook]
[Outro]
Fuck, there go our little secret
She gon' have it
She gon' keep it
9 months later shit we gon' see it
She's so fine it's just amazing
I can't help but just keep staring
Like a magic spell found only in my eyes
That I can share
That I will share
Like a rainbow brought up in the sky
And she don't care
'Coz she don't care
She's so fine it's just amazing
I can't help but just keep staring
Like a smile that hides away her pain
That she can share
That she will share
Look into her eyes and you will see
That she don't care
'Coz she don't care
I'm amazed that the world can be
So beautiful
So beautiful
she, she came from the land of the cotton
land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
and she, she worked and she slaved so hard
a big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
ooh, but she sure could sing
ooh, she sure could sing
then he looked down and he took a little pity
the whole town swore he decided he'd help her some
but he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
for deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
ooh, but she sure could sing
yeah, she sure could sing
she had faith, she had believing
she led all the people together in singing
and she prayed every night to the lord up above
singing hallelujah, ooh hallelujah
they use to walk singing songs by the river
even when she knew for sure she had to go away
and she never knew what her life had to give her
and never had to worry about it for one single day
ooh my but she sure could sing
ooh, she sure could sing
she had faith, she had believing
led all the people together in singing
and she prayed every night to the lord up above
singing hallelujah, ooh hallelujah
she, she came from the land of the cotton
land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
and she, she worked and she slaved so hard
a big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
ooh, but she sure could sing
my, my, my she sure could sing
ooh, yeah she sure could sing
Oh, dish washing liquid
Don't forget dish washing liquid
And Ajax, Ajax
Ooh, and and fresh milk
Ooh, and cat food
Don't forget cat food, cat food
She is a dying dandelion floating on the breeze
Swirling sweetly in the evening
She is the stars glowing gorgeously
She is the sloping clouds
Forever scrolling
Unfolding
She is the sun burned blue and shadows on the moon
She is the morning dew
Dangling on leaves leaking into streams
Forever flowing
Unfolding
No one can say her name
Now she sits and sings something about my dreams
Hours go by before she looks at me
She breaks my heart
She never loses
She never chooses
I don't know which way is up
I drink her down
She fills my cup again
I'm always changin'
while she's rearrangin'
I can't tell you how I feel
except I know this love's for real
She gives me orders
She's tearin' down my borders
and I don't know which way is up
I drink her down
She fills my cup again
She may be the face I cant forget
a trace of pleasure or regret
may be the treasure
or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
may be the chill that autumn brings
may be a hundred different things
within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast
may be the famine or the feast
may turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
the smile reflected in the stream
she may not be what she may seem
inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd,
whose eyes can be so private and so proud
no ones allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
may come to me from shadows of the past
that I'd remember till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive
the why and wherefore I'm alive
the one I'll care for
through the rough and ready years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
and make them all my souvenirs
for where she goes I've got to be
the meaning of my life is She
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
may come to me from shadows of the past
that I'll remember till the day I die
She may be the reason I survive
the why and wherefore I'm alive
the one I'll care for
through the rough and ready years
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
and make them all my souvenirs
for where she goes I've got to be
the meaning of my life is She
She....
She sits hidden away in her room alone with her toys that kiss her and hold her tight turning turning dancing in the shadows trailing her hair in the dust catching patterns in the light...
She sees creatures behind the glass crying with a voice she heard once in a childhood dream falling through a window she once shattered clawing her face to escape wings that beat inside her head...
She may be the first I can't forget,
a trace of pleasure or regret,
May be my treasure or
the price I have to pay.
She may be the song that summer sings,
may be the chill that autumn brings,
may be a hundred different things,
within the measure of a day.
She may be the beauty or the beast,
may be the famine or the feast,
may turn each day into a heaven or a hell.
She may be the mirror of my dream,
a smile reflected in a stream,
she may not be what she may seem inside her shell.
She who always seems so happy in a crowd.
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud?
No one's allowed to see them when they cry.
She may be the love that cannot hope to last,
may come to me from shadows of the past,
that I'll remember till the day I die.
She may be the reason I survive,
the why and wherefore I'm alive,
the one I'll care for through,
the rough and ready years.
Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears
and make them all my souvenirs.
For where she goes I've got to be.
I remember quite clearly now when this story happened.
The autumn leaves were floating and measured down to
the ground.
Recovering the lake
where we use to swim like children
On the sun would dare to shine.
That time, we used to be happy
Well, I thought we were.
But the truth was that..you had been longing to leave
me.
Not daring to tell me
On that precious night
watching the lake
vaguely conscious
You said: Our story was ending
Now I'm standing here
No one to wipe away my tears
No one to keep me warm
And no one to walk along with
No one to make me feel
No one to make me whole
Oh! What am I to do?
I'm standing here alone
It doesn't seem so clear to me
What am I supposed to do about this burning heart of
mine
Oh! What am I to do?
Or how should I react?
Oh! Tell me please
The rain was killing the last days of summer
You had been killing my last breath of love
uh! Since a long time ago
I still don't think I'm gonna make it through another
love story
You took it all away from me
And there I stand
I knew I was gonna be the-----
The one left behind
But still..I'm watching the lake
vaguely conscious
And I know -----
My life is ending
She was the wind, the earth and sky
She was the one who made me laugh and cry
She was cake and she was wine
She was fun and she was mine
She'd lie lie lie to me
And I'd believe her
She'd cry and cry and cry for me
I couldn't leave her
No one could hurt, no one could flirt
And no one could smile like she could
She was misery and sorrow
She was reason for tomorrow
The smile of the cat was on her face
A Chaparral she love to run the race
The style of the fox men embrace
To know her was to love her
And no one could treat me like she could
She was just a little girl
She was a woman of the world
She was all my dreams
She was many things
But she is, she was, she'll always be
She comes undone
Got no fix she had no fun
Tries to shoot holes in the sun
It's got her running
She comes complete
With a switchblade and her speed
But she can't take all this heat
It's got her hiding
But I just don't get her
No I just don't get her at all
She wants to break my fall
She doesn't speak at all
She spends her day
on her knees she likes to pray
You can always hear her say
That life means something
She spends her time
Out of space and out of line
Planning some unholy crime
That comes to nothing
She said
1pm looking out the glass
Grey sky forecast
Cold with the wind chill
Thinking bout the past
Always thinking bout the past
When will I get over it
Why are the good days so easy to forget?
And the bad easy to remember
Must be the thinker
What's the real problem here
The drink or the drinker
Turn the lights off
Can't go to sleep
Turn the lights on
Make another beat
Get on the internet and read just to kill time
And start writing this exact rhyme
I'm all alone but I made it that way
She's the only one left to make the demons go away
Make the pain go away
That sickenin' feeling in my stomach
So many fears
That war zone between my ears
So many years
Freaked out
Like a broke somthin' in my brain and hell leaked out
I run from the sun
Fantasize about a warm gun
Don't remember what I wanted to be doin
Or the last time that I had fun
When was the last time I had fun
But when she smiles
When she smiles
It all goes away
It all goes away
It's a good thing that misery loves company
Otherwise I'd be all by myself
With this split personality
I put a record out
And did a few tours
Relapsed
Ran aground
And ran threw a few hours
Ended up in the hospital
Again
The doctor says I have an illness
The preacher calls it sin
Like god is even something you can comprehend
God is without and god is within
Like a fish tryin to see water it ain't happenin
So stay out of my path
And stop over reactin
The world ain't comin to an end
But you are
Might as well have fun before it all goes FOOBAR
Fucked up beyond all recognition
Find somebody to love and stop bitchin'
Because that's the only thing that seems to works for
I aint got nothin for you but hard dick and insanity
When she smiles
But when she smiles
It all goes away
PICTURE A GIRL WHO COULD TEAR YOUR WHOLE WORLD AT THE SEAMS
YET A GLIMPSE IN HER EYES AND YOU'VE REALIZED ALL OF YOUR
DREAMS
SHE'S SWEET AS STRAWBERRY PIE
BUT THEN SHE'LL MAKE YOU WANT TO CRY
BUT IT'S INNOCENCE THAT SHE REVEALS WHEN YOU JUST LOOK AND SEE
SHE'S FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
SHE'S YOUR FLESH AND BLOOD
HOW D'YOU EXPLAIN JUST WHY EVERYTHING'S CHANGED SO SOON?
'CUZ NOTHING COMPARES TO THE WAY THAT SHE LIGHTS UP THE ROOM
YOU'VE THROWN AWAY ALL OF THE THINGSTHINGS
THAT YOU THOUGHT 'JOY' WOULD BRING
AND NOTHING ELSE MATTERS AS MUCH ANYMORE TO YOU
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU'D FIGURED HER OUT THINK AGAIN
'CUZ EVERY DAY SHE'S A BIT OLDER AND WISER AND THEN -
SHE TELLS YOU THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO
THINGS THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW
IT'S SIMPLY PROFOUND AND ASTOUNDINGLY BRAND NEW AGAIN
MUSIC AND LYRICS BY
She glows around you like the moon
she smiles at her reflection in a spoon
she reads expensive magazines
she sees herself in everything
you can't judge her for that
she knows where her head is at
She's tangled up in you
she's laced up in your shoe
she's got a ladder to the sky
she's got a mad look in her eye
you can't judge her for that
she knows where her head is at
She moves in simple curves
she speakes in simple words
& it's simple to be in love with her
you can't judge her for that
she knows where her head is at
You call her home
& you want to move in
but a house is not a home & a home
is not a house when there's not enough
room for you

[Shaq]
yo yo (yo yo)
I don't really wanna play the game (nah)
but if you want me to play the game and wait a while
I will
ha ha ha
[Chorus: S.H.E.]
let's wait a while
before it gets too late
let's wait
(repeat)
[Shaq]
yo the first time I met you it was love on sight
no matter what I do I can't forget that night
in my mind you was fine as wine air tight
somethin' like a movie, but this is real life
no mistaken, unh, I was taken
girl you hit me harder than the music I be makin'
I exercise, push-ups, how you feel huh?
what's your name girl? how can I get wit' ya?
I can't beleive that she didn't heed that
no type of feed back, I need to pull my sleeves back
and try again, time after time
but I won't stop until I make the girl mine
[Chorus]
[Shaq]
I got the digits, unh, remember I was
on the telephone kickin' willy bone for hours
buyin' candy and flowers, often
I can't count amounts but I know I spend a fortune
I never sweat it, you was so cute
that I ran like Pacman in hot pursuit (back back back)
all my friends say you must be buggin' kid
you say I'm just a friend to make me feel like this
but I would never do you like the next guy did
scared to love again and keepin' your heart hid
and just when I think you might come around soon
you proceed to hit me wit' that wait a while tune
[Chorus]
[Shaq]
vision of love, the one I think of
if I had my way we'd be tighter than a glove
on the scale of one to ten you must be an eleven
baby hold my hand and walk the highway to heaven
I'm not the same old thing runnin' the game type
love 'em and leave 'em alone, catch the next flight
I promise you, I'm a stay true
if you call my name I'll come to the rescue
I mean a queen like you deserves honor
scoop you in a drop-top Porchse, my tire's armored
for worse or better, no matter what the weather
it don't really matter, we still down together
I got your back, in fact, I'll never hurt you
mislead, decieve, Shaq won't desert you
just call me crazy, I just say whatever
prayin' for the day I'll make you my girl forever
She knows - about all the evil in this world
She knows - what blackness lurks in our souls
She parts her lips and gives me a literary quip
Sharper and sweeter than any cat-o-nine tails whip
She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing
She says - come on and swing away from blue
She says - don't yeild to it's atmospheric hue
She's got the power to make things turn out right
Even in the darkest hour of the very blackest night
She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing
Eyes limped and pools of passion
Lips of deepest darkest damson
Fingers probing show white skin
Like a leather disciplinary
Looking rather predatory
Like an emissary of sin
She knows - we've got nothing more to prove
She knows - we're dancing in a dead mans shoes
She says let's check out of this haunted hotel
Where all the corridors and doorways are leading straight to hell
She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing
She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing
She drags my world awake
She maybe the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
Maybe my treasure or the price I have to pay
She maybe the song that summer sings
Maybe the chill that autumn brings
Maybe a hundred different things
Maybe the measure of a day
She maybe the beauty or the beast
Maybe the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She maybe the mirror of my dream
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Who's eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She maybe the love that cannot last
May come from shadows of the past
That I remember until the day I die
She maybe the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I care for through the rough
Me, I take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
She
She’s walking out the door, our little beauty queen.
She’s acting, and she needs her scene.
Drunk again, her eyes are closed, she’s already gone.
No friends, no help, from anyone.
Big time loosing, big time confusing,
She’s completely incomplete.
From head to feet, from head to feet.
She is everybody’s darling,
the cute little darling,
but she’s on her own.
Nobody is calling, when she’s falling, down in a hole.
Another day, another night is going by.
She’s happy, and she’s so high.
No more words, everthing’s been said.
That’s her fame, she’s having rum and cocaine.
She
Ooh, ooh
No, oh
1 - She could never be me
You've convinced to believe
If she's all you claim her to be
Tell me why you keep jocking me
You try to go out of your way, oh
To prove a point to me
That everything's okay
And even you were my mistake
And the love I took from you
Has quickly been replaced
Does she know in the midnight hour
You're callin' me
Should we tell her how you send me flowers
Don't want to play me
Cause when it gets down to it
You can't accept I up and left you
You never thought I'd do it
Now you're settling for second best, oh
Repeat 1
I see the little things you do, oh, oh
To try to get me looking like a fool
But she's no exception the rule, no
Too blind to realize that she's just being used
She doesn't know about if I blew up your pager
(9-1-1)
And said to pack your things and leave her
(It would be done)
Cause when it gets down to it
You can't accept I up and left you
You never thought I'd do it
Now you're settling for second best, oh
Repeat 1
No matter how hard you try, no, no
You'll never find a love that's half as good as mine
So why should I waste time to go there?
Cause if you wanna another ? I don't care
What you do, or who you see
Since I set you free
No, no, no, no...
And I know she could never be me
And I know she could never be me
No, no, no, no...
Boy I gotta tell you SHE...
Repeat 1 (2x)
No matter how hard you try, no, no
You'll never find a love that's half as good as mine
So why should I waste time to go there?
Cause if you wanna another ? I don't care
What you do, or who you see
Since I set you free
She so loves her children
More the one whom play with fire
As the comfort themselves before
As they my become her funeral brian
She is the only one
The only one
She is the only one
And she wears a crown of joyous madness
Of dangering the midnight hours
On her throne of serpentine sadness
She erects a fractal tower
She is the only one
The only one
She is the only one
Who will ever understand you
And she delight in your confusion
And the contradiction of your heart
She laughs
As reason and delusion
Proceed to tear your soul apart
She is the only one
The only one
She is the only one
She is the only one
The only one
She is the only one
who ever understand you
She is
She is
The only one
She is
She is
She walked out with empty arms
Machine gun in her hand
She is good and she is bad
No one understands
She walked in, in silence
Never spoke a word
She's got a rich daddy
She's her daddy's girl
She loves naked sin
He loves evil sex
She has lost control
They are growing old
She will hide in silence
Then her day will come
She was virgin vixen
She is on the run
She is on the run
She...
Is with me
And her love grows...
Like a tree
All over me...
She is with me.
And her love grows...
Endlessly
Now it comes to a conclusion
I still haven't got a clue
Am I living an illusion?
Am I flowing with the flow?
And sometimes I'll be nice
But mostly I'm a creep
I want her by my side, but I can't give her what she needs
She...
Is with me
And her love grows...
Like a tree
All over me...
She is with me.
And her love grows...
Endlessly
I never pay attention
But she tries to give her best
I only seem to care about the solving of my quest
With a strange kind of perfection
I'm working my way down
But she will be my savior
And I will wear her crown
She...
Is with me
And her love grows...
Like a tree
All over me...
She is with me.
And her love grows...
Endlessly
Will she open up my window?
Will she unlock my door?
Will she lead me to the river?
Will she help me cross the water?
Will she help me reach the shore?
Will she help me fight this dragon that makes me lose this war?
And now it comes to a conclusion
I still haven't got a clue
Am I living an illusion?
Am I flowing with the flow?
And sometimes I'll be nice
But mostly I'm a creep
I want her by my side, but I can't give her what she needs
She...
Is with me
And her love grows...
Like a tree
All over me...
She is with me.
And her love grows...
Endlessly
She...
Is with me
And her love grows...
Like a tree
All over me...
She is with me.
And her love grows...
Endlessly
She is with me...
She is with me...
She is with me...
She is with me...
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and ready years
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is
She likes to watch the weather
She loves the cloudy days
She's got the look of angels
Ending in a gaze
She speaks in gentle whispers
She sings a melody
The comfort of her words can
Melt the hurt away
What can I do to let you know
What do I say to let it show
I always seem to get it wrong
You turn it all into a song
She breaks your heart in pieces
With a smile and a stare
She holds her hand up (???)
Lets it take her there
She turns the tears to laughter
She makes it all okay
She finds a hope in sadness
To brighten every day
What can I do to let you know
What do I say to let it show
I always seem to get it wrong
You turn it all into a song
And it's you who brings the laughter
And it's you who brings the tears
It's you who steals the sunshine
And it's you who caused my fears
You bring the sunshine
You bring the sunshine
You bring the sunshine
It's you
It's you
Yeah, it's you
Yeah, it's you
It's you
She is given such pain. She is faced with the evil strain.
She is given no choice. She conquers and can't rejoice.
I see the picture of her standing on the street.
Her coat is white and her hair, black.
I see the picture of her standing on the street,
And she is beautiful.
She has strength beyond compare. She gets past the loss of her hair.
She is given no choice. She conquers and can't rejoice.
I see the picture of her standing on the street.
Her coat is white and her hair, black.
I see the picture of her standing on the street,
And she is beautiful.
She, waits for him - Prays for him
To call again
He, a foolish man - Without a plain
Has lost his way
She knows the way - The game to play
The way to win
Silently he can't see - It's gonna be
His greatest sin
Oh! You never though you could let her go
Oh! Beware you do there's something more you should know
[Chorus]
You never see it coming - It comes out of the blue
You hit the ground - She'll break your heart in two
Suddenly it's over - Can't believe (It's true) (You're
thru)
She is with another - She breaks your heart in two
He walks alone, leaving home without a care
She dims the lights, pours the wine combs her hair
He knows the way, he's been before, he's wanting more
Silently she can't see, what will be is what will be
I can’t explain
these hungry lips
They don’t wanna talk with my
hopeless hands
Give me back your smile around
If you are not with me
I will die
This room is silent
There’s nobody there
My shadow is looking
Through my face
The clock is ticking
So slowly now
When you are not with me
I wanna die
She, she broke my heart
I don’t know why…
She, she split my blood
I don’t know why…
She, she fix my life (I wonder why.. I broke your heart…
I broke your fucking lonely heart)
by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart
(She!) She told me that she loved me,
And like a fool I believed her from the start
(She!) She said she'd never hurt me,
But then she turned around and broke my heart.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) She devoured all my sweet love,
Took all I had and then she fed me dirt
(She!) She laughed while I was crying
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt.
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
And now I know just why she keeps me hanging 'round,
(Hanging 'round)
She needs someone to walk on so her feet don't touch the ground
(Don't touch the ground)
But I love her! (Love her!)
I need her! (Need her!)
I want her! (Want her!)
Yeah! (Yeah!) Yeah! (Yeah!)
Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-Yeah!-She!
SOLO
Why am I standing here
Missing her and wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong, now
(Hey!) I'm better off alone.
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!
(She!) Why am I missing her?
(She!) I should be kissing her!
(Verse)
She wears high heel shoes at night, at night, at night.
Nobody knows what’s be like.
I have a song inside the stream and nobody’s listening but you, you, you.
It’s early morning when the set is through
You always got to go when the money’s due.
Something I’m gonna have to give,
If you know what this something is, tell me the truth.
(Chorus)
It’s a long death, I’m tired of trying.
Can’t you hear me, I’m she, she, she
Can’t you hear me, I’m she, she, she
Can’t you hear me, I’m she, she, she
Can’t you hear me, I’m she, she.
(Verse)
She’s got a power that they’re trying to take
Try everything to take it away.
Like a tower on a stage blind, know he’d be coming back for more.
(Chorus)
It’s a long way, she’s gonna make it.
Can’t you hear me, I’m she, she, she.
Can’t you hear me, I’m she, she, she
Can’t you hear me, I’m she, she, she
Can’t you hear me, I’m she, she, she
Can’t you hear me, I’m she, she.
Hey, I know someone who's got a real special love.
She is made of sheet metal, her name's Christine.
She takes sweet revenge
hunt them till the end
She's a lady in red varnish and shining chrome
She's alive and she's more jealous than girls in flesh and blood
All the other guys don't like him, so one night
they are smashing Christine, but she gets up again.
She takes sweet revenge
hunt them till the end
She's a lady in red varnish and shining chrome
She's alive and she's more jealous than girls
in flesh and blood
There she's waiting behind the corner,
fixing them with her blinding lights.
They won't escape out of this misty night alive
and she won't come to harm...
She is keeping him from all his friends away.
He is getting more paranoid each day.
She takes sweet revenge hunt them till the end
She's a lady in red varnish and shining chrome
He's a wreck and he's more jealous than boys in flesh and blood
He takes sweet revenge
While the pain is burning her chest
She pretends to believe there's something that can be done
And gives out some kind of advice
Avoiding looking in the mirror
And what is it that she wants to justify?
As soon as you get home you want to beat her
And say that it’s all her fault
For not wanting to obey you
You got home late from drinking
And you want to rape her
So much hate that it freezes
And fear shuts her mouth
She can go...She has to
And what is that she wants to justify?
Your son’s not going to forget
The desperate scream
Of someone who doesn’t know what to do
The next day you’re cryin
And begging on bended knee
Weeping like a damsel
Just to be let out of your cell
And what is it that she wants to justify?
You’re playing to lose
But pretend that you learned
But you’ve surely already forgotten
You left before dusk
You came back before dawn
You don’t even remember what life was like in that cell
Playing the macho you beat her
While the pain is burning her chest
She pretends to believe there’s something that can be done
And gives out some kind of advice
Avoiding looking in the mirror.
She’s afraid to be alone
She’s afraid of what people might say
Like someone going to the guillotine
She’ll let him come back home
Friend, can you help me understand
How it is that you’re going to explain to her son
And how are you going to look at yourself in the mirror
With her blood on your hands
Time passes and we get used to it
But there’s always going to be a star shining
A lonely old destiny, with no love,
You’re still going to cry a lot for her
She's the beauty in all this pain
she's the ball and chain
she wears me out
She's the fix she's my favorite drug
she's the flavor of
sweet misery
And she takes me and she breaks me
and she makes me wanna be a better guy
and it's alright yeah its all right
and she hates me and she breaks me
and she makes me wanna be a better guy
and it's alright yeah it's alright
Waste please waste your time with me
i'd walk the line for you
girl you drive me crazy
and if ya leave what would I do
i'd confide in friends the gun the bitter end
And she takes me and she breaks me
and she makes me wanna be a better guy
and it's alright yeah its all right
and she hates me and she breaks me
and she makes me wanna be a better guy
and it's alright yeah it's alright
Hurts to say it's almost over
stay the same we're growing older
yeah we're growing older
And she takes me and she breaks me
and she makes me wanna be a better guy
and it's alright yeah its all right
and she hates me and she breaks me
and she makes me wanna be a better guy
and it's alright yeah it's alright
She seems so happy
In her hopeless disease
If this weren't my boulevard
I would drown in her seas
Got no cure for yourself
Got no faith just your hell
Got no needs you want more
Got no needs her disease just devours us all
If you ever want to free yourself
If you ever want to be yourself get out
Itchy trigger finger baby
If you ever want to free yourself
If you ever want to be yourself get out
She seems so lonely
But her smile puts at ease
If she walked by your cell you would surely
Surely be freed
Got no needs you want more
Got no needs her disease just devours us all
If you ever want to free yourself
If you ever want to be yourself get out
Itchy trigger finger baby
If you ever want to free yourself
If you ever want to be yourself get out
Got no needs her disease just devours us all
If you ever want to free yourself
If you ever want to be yourself get out
Itchy trigger finger baby
If you ever want to free yourself
If you ever want to be yourself get out
Itchy trigger finger baby
If you ever want to free yourself
If you ever want to be yourself get out
Itchy trigger finger baby
If you ever want to free yourself
If you ever want to be yourself get out
Itchy trigger finger baby
I feel my reputation falling, baby every night
It feels like conversation's stalling when I'm walking by
I feel my reputation falling when she's by my side
It feels like radiation pouring from her smoking eyes
So hold on tight, dear
There's dynamite here
She'll send you light years
Out of sight of here
She (Hey! She's got your number), looks so beautiful
(No doubt about it, you've got 'the look')
She (Hey! She'll drag you under), looks so beautiful
(No doubt about it, she's got you good)
Midnight, cruising up to heaven in the neighbourhood
In skin tight Balenciaga, damned if she's looking good
I see her, working on the double playing who'll be next
Tequila, half a pint of trouble and we're heading west
So hold on tight, dear
There's dynamite here
She'll send you light years
Out of sight of here
She (Hey! She's got your number), looks so beautiful
(No doubt about it, you've got 'the look')
She (Hey! She'll drag you under), looks so beautiful
(No doubt about it, she's got you good)
She (Hey! She's got your number), looks so beautiful
(No doubt about it, you've got 'the look')
She (Hey! She'll drag you under), looks so beautiful
(No doubt about it, she's got you good)
Oooh, come and get it, come and get it now
Ooh... Just get in baby, you can't say no
You won't regret it, you won't forget it, no
What she would like to do, is get you out of her head
She's tried every trick, she's so sick of thinking about it
What's so special about you, you're an ache she's learned to crave
You're a blade too dull to raise
But she cuts herself on you every night
She's just dying to lay down the knife
What she would love to do is get you out of her bed
She's played it over and over and over in her head
But she cuts herself on you every night
She's just dying to lay down the knife
She clings to what's familiar
She thinks a change would kill her
What she ought to do is put a gun to your head
For all the things you said and did
But what she will not do is let you go before you're gone
It's everything that's ever been wrong but it's all she's ever known
So she cuts herself on you every night
She's just dyin' to lay down her life
She lives alone with no one
Who can see she's unhappy.
She knows what she lost,
Still she is waiting for more.
She could be living in hell
And not know someone loves her.
What can she do,
What is she waiting for?
The day turns to night
He just can't find the right words to tell her
Twisting and turning and looking for
Something to say.
If you would let me hold you
I wouldn't walk away
That's what he wants,
That's what he wants to say.
What can she lose,
What is she waiting for?
He knows when she cries
And he saw through the lies that she told him.
She's dreaming and planning
Of how she could ask him to stay.
If you would let me love you,
I wouldn't be the same.
Please can we try,
Closer we serve her
Further we stay
Lost in the winter
Ghosts of today
Keep calling,
Keep crying her name
Keep calling,
Keep walking that way
When the rain has gone
And I'll wipe those tears away
Play the game with God
It'll wash those years away
Tears have turned to ice
(turned to ice)
Feel you by my side
(hear you cry)
Want to hear you cry
(not alone tonight)
Not alone tonight
(by my side)
Where is she?
(where is she?)
Where is she?
(where is she?)
We were never really here
We are waiting for the rain here
And the rain will come
(gonna wipe those tears away)
Rain wash away your fear
And I'll lay you down
(gonna wash those years away)
Rain could it a thousand years (or We could live a thousand years)
And when the rain has gone
(it'll wipe those tears away)
Washed away are all your sins
And rain will fall
(It'll wash those years away)
You and I were never there
Tears have turned to ice
(tears from your eyes)
No one here but I
(only dreams survive)
Nothing can survive
(Thought you'd never die)
Want to hear you cry
(Thought you'd never lie)
Tears have turned to ice
(tears from your eyes)
Be the butterfly
(be the butterfly)
Never close your eyes
(close your eyes)
When I hear you cry
(Echoes through the ice)
(Tears from your eyes)
(searching all my life)
(to only say goodbye)
(now I hear you cry)
Just return to life
(She returns to light)
Only dreams survive
(only dreams survive)
Echoes through the ice
(echoes through the ice)
Can you hear me... cry?
Cry...
Cry!
{I'll be watching over you now}
She hangs out every day near by the beach
Having a Heineken falling asleep
She looks so sexy when she's walking to sand
Nobody ever put a ring on her hand
Swim to the oceanshore fishing the sea
She is the story, the story is she
She sings to the moon and the stars in the sky
Shining from high above you shouldn't ask why
She is the one that you'll never forget
She is the heaven sent angel you met
Oh she must be the reason why god made a girl
She is so pretty all over the world
She puts the rythm, the beat in the drum
She comes in the morning, in the evening she's gone
Every little hour, every second you live
Trust in eternity, that's what she gives
She looks like Marilyn, walks like Susanne
She talks like Monica and Mary-Ann
She wins in everything that she might do
And she will respect you, forever just you
She is the one that you'll never forget
She is the heaven sent angel you met
Oh she must be the reason why god made a girl
She is so pretty all over the world
She is so pretty all over the world
She is so pretty
She is like you and me, like them, like we
She's in you and me
She is the one that you'll never forget
She is the heaven sent angel you met
Oh she must be the reason why god made a girl
She is so pretty all over the world
She is the one that you'll never forget
She is the heaven sent angel you met
Oh she must be the reason why god made a girl
Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to form,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy.
Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
All those years they were here first.
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life.
Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears,
They were here first.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Ah of course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mmm what you say?
What did she say?
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I dont believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
THERE'S A RIVER
THERE'S AN OCEAN
THERE'S A WOMAN
AND I WANNA FLOOD
MYSELF ON HER
JUST LIKE A POISON,
JUST LIKE A FEVER
JUST LIKE A KILLING RAIN
POURING ON MY FACE
WHEN SHE CALLS ME
THERE'S A DANGER
AND ALL MY WORRIES COME TO A REAL END
LIKE A BLOW-UP, LIKE A BLACK-OUT
LIKE A SWITCH BLADE SLIDING UP MY NECK
FEEL LIKE A CHILD WHEN SHE LEADS ME
AND HER POWER IS FAR BEYOND MY WILL
WHEN SHE CALLS ME THERE'S A DANGER
AND ALL MY WORRIES COME TO A REAL END
NOW SHE SHAKES HER MONEY-MAKER
AND DEEP INSIDE I FEEL
I'M RUNNING OUT OF STRENGHT
OH, SHE'S SO WICKED
OH, SHE'S SO CLEVER
I GUESS SHE KNOWS ABOUT
HE HELPLESS AND WEAK I AM
AND WHEN SHE FEELS ME UP
CAN'T STOP MY TREMBLING
JUST LIKE A RATTLESNAKE
SHE'S HUNTING ME DOWN
LIKE IN A BAD DREAM SHE BURNS MY SPIRIT
BUT I JUST CAN'T HELP GIVING MYSELF AWAY
FEEL LIKE A CHILD WHEN SHE LEADS ME
AND HER POWER IS FAR BEYOND MY WILL
WHEN SHE CALLS ME THERE'S A DANGER
AND ALL MY WORRIES COME TO A REAL END
JUST LIKE A FOOL I FOLLOW THE RULES
I looked into her eyes and died
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
This was always meant to happen
we were always meant to be
and I have waited for this moment
All my life
Everything's for real , don't wake me up
She is the one
It's all inside my head, don't make it stop
My only one
She crashed into my life, she smiled
No chance to run, no chance to hide
This was always meant to happen
we were always meant to be
And I have waited for this moment
all my life
Everything's for real , don't wake me up
She is the one
It's all inside my head, don't make it stop
My only one
Still afraid to open up my eyes
She is the one
my only one
This was always meant to happen
we were always meant to be
And I have waited for this moment
all my life
Everything's for real , don't wake me up
She is the one
It's all inside my head, don't make it stop
My only one
Still afraid to open up my eyes
She is the one
My only one
She sits with a book and writes with the ink
All that she feels, express what she thinks
Lines of words build up on the page
Stories and moments, love and her rage
Even though the world doesn't care
She knows that she'll always be there for herself
She is all that she needs when the
World lets her down
She will always be there
In spite of them all for herself
Some broke her heart, emptied their lies
Stamped her down, and laughed at her cries
She questions herself, sends all that she feels
Breaks herself down, builds herself up like steel
Even though the world doesn't care
She knows that she'll always be there for herself
She is all that she needs when the
World lets her down
She will always be there
In spite of them all for herself
Some think she's strange, but really don't know what's
inside her
And when times are rough, and no-one cares
She'll always be there
She is all that she needs when the
World lets her down
She will always be there
In spite of them all for herself
She is all that she needs when the
World lets her down
She will always be there
In spite of them all
Bring back that 'hair-down', unguarded mystery
I liked it better when your tightrope walked on me
Board up my window, prepare for a hurricane
You have a way of breaking through my barricade
You give me all-new games to play
You set me soul free
Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold
She set my soul free
She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you
Was my intention to take control again?
Somehow you got me on the ropes of my own plan
To turn up the volume and make you dance for me
Release some pressure so that I can turn and see
Spirit manifests as 'She'
You set me soul free (you set my soul free)
Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold
She set my soul free (she set my soul free)
She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you
Like a flower
I can see but I can't feel
Oh yeah
And nothing that you do could ever make me run, run away from you
I never knew, I never knew she could
She set my soul free
Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold
She set my soul free (she set my soul free)
She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
She is everybody's darling
The cute little darling
But she's on her own
She's walking out the door, our little beauty queen
She's acting, and she needs her scene
Drunk again, her eyes are closed, she's already gone
No friends, no help, from anyone
Big time losing, big time confusing
She's completely incomplete
From head to feet, from head to feet
Chorus:
She is everybody's darling
The cute little darling
But she's on her own
Nobody is calling when she's falling down in a hole
Another day, another night is going by
She's happy and she's so high
No more words, everything's been said
That's her fame, she's having rum and cocaine
Big time losing, big time confusing
She's completely incomplete
From head to feet, from head to feet
In the shade of an old church-steeple
Between dead leaves and howling wind
On a tree beyond an overgrown grave
On a creeping, deadly, eternal rope
She hangs now with open eyes
Filled with tears dry and cold
Promised was a short, quiet crash
A single moment, a final pain
A death-rattle meaning goodbye
And a final farewell to the insane
Hope for the eternal redemption
And for tears around her grave
For a sea of flowers and
Beautyfull words for a life-long slave
A sadly farewell to someone
With a noose around her neck
And with the piercing knowledge
That she will never come back
But she is still alone
Waiting for death to lead her home
A life without breathing without crieing
Sleeping without silence in her heart
Always searching always crawling
Her feet become cold, the symptoms start
Her short, quiet sobs noone can hear
Everything changes into a terrible fear
Promised was peace and eternal silence
Her release from her tries to blast the wall
Her release from ignore and disregard
Her release from reaching nothing at all
Knowledge of the riddles in her past
Wisdom about everything that is
Her desire for a helping hand
Her wish for an unambicious kiss
Her desire for truthness
And for a real warm heat
Her wish for a knife to cut the rope
And for something to warm her feet
But she is still alone
And there´s no death to lead her home
A sudden movement - neverending
Her last hope terribly dies
A short moment filled with panic
But she still can´t close her eyes
And with the last sound of this song
She smears it all o'er me
Our raw meat clash
A parapet or balcony
Our raw meat thrash
Her flesh creep all over me
Our bones mash
I spend my money
Astride of her
I straddle her on bended knees
Her begging doth please
No quality of flesh
Of cavernous depths
I pioneer her depths
No quality of meat from the streets
She is she is she is she is
The dirt on her flesh
I spend my money
Astride of her
I straddle her on bended knees
I straddle her on bended knees
She smears it all over me
Raw meat
Seethes in and out of me
Our bodies clash
As soon as we greet
There's blood, heat, blood, light
Our bones mash
I love that trash
I'm snared
We dance on bended knees
Raw meat between our toes
The raw meat thrashes
We thrash
She is she is she is she is
Cheap machine
You filthy slut I want to see you creep under me
Raw meat, raw meat
She grew up without very much
She didn't know who her father was
She met a boy and her heart he stole
So she gave him all her body and her soul
She's not ready to face
The outcome of their mistake
It's brought her nothing but pain
And she's too young for this fate
She's alone
Could have been the undertow
Where it takes her no one knows
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
When we throw stones
People deny and criticize
They sent her away isolated
Caught in a bad dream
Perfectly rejected
They left her alone and neglected
They put her out on display
Showcasing all her mistakes
She's worn out and she's afraid
Why does it always happen this way?
She's alone
Could have been the undertow
Where it takes her no one knows
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
When we throw stones
She went to them for help
But blindly they cast the first stone
They could have taken her in
Instead they left her on her own
All alone
She's alone
Could have been the undertow
Where it takes her no one knows
That's how it goes
That's how it goes...
She's alone
Could have been the undertow
Where it takes her no one knows
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
When we throw stones
She's alone
Could have been the undertow
Where it takes her no one knows
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
She...
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
[Chorus:]
Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
She's figured out
All her doubts were someone else's point of view
Waking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
[Chorus]
Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
EHHHHHH,AHHHHHHHHHH!!!
[Chorus]
Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
she, she told me that she loved me
and then she fed me dirt
she, she said she'd never hurt me
and then she made me hurt
why am i standing here
missing her and wishing she was near
she only did me wrong
i'm better off alone
she, she's stoled all my sweet love
and then she fed me dirt
she, she laughed while i was crying
and that's what made me hurt
and now i know just why she
keeps me hanging on
she needs someone to walk on
so her feet don't touch the ground
and i love her
i need her
i love her
i need her
She's the one who fills my soul
With grace and dignity so rare
A jewel that shines upon her child
And lifts me to a higher place
A higher place
She sang to me before I breathe
Alive inside she gave me life
I felt her heartbeat as it's touching mine
The rhythm stays and never leads
She smiles and warms the coldest of the days
Her soft caress brings peace and hope
And when I'm gone she's always there
To carry me through troubled times
She held me to her simple truth
That all I need is what she gives
In dreamland where the child still lives
Forever pure in arms of love
In dreamland where the child still lives
Forever your rhythms in love
This virtue leaves tranquility
As ever radiant it's always light
Her laughter drifts across a thousand miles
She is just someone to wash your dirty clothes
Someone who never knows where all your money goes
She is just someone to teach the children right from wrong
And you never know how much she means until she is gone
She is just someone to cook all your meals
And act like you're a milionaire though you can't pay the bills
She is just someone to answer the telephone
And you never know how much she means until she is gone
And she's gone for good cause I was bad
Now everything I have is gone cause she was all I had
She is just someone to give me love and keep me warm
And you never know how much she means until she is gone
She, walking like a killer,
She, another night another pillow.
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education, it's the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
She, sh-shaking up the karma,
She, 3injecting marijuana2,
Nowhere places, nowhere faces, no one wants to see,
No education it's the arse of the nation,
She is bad, she is bored, she is bony, she is...
she...
Nowhere faces, nowhere places, no one wants to be,
No stimulation in this privatisation,
I grew used
to her sweet breath
and her delicate laugh
I trusted her words
like a child with his mum
And when the dawn came
and she walked away
I lay down on the floor
I felt my back brake
She said I just got mad
She said she'll be alright
She shouted at me
closing the door.
She took back her book
and waited outside
fighting her wish to come back
She said she's got mad
She said it'll be alright
She tried reminding me
how it began.
She gave back my book
and waited outside
crying in the sun
As I woke up your body was moving on me
Your eyes smiling, that glow I still miss.
Your hair and their smell caressing my face
The room fading away
your hands following a trace.
Whispers were raging
our bodies were burning
Every night in my sleep
you become her and she becomes you
That morning your eyes were so bright.
She is the one who fills my soul
With grace and dignity so rare
A jewel that shines upon her child
And lifts me to a higher place - a higher place
She sang to me before I breathed
Alive inside she gave me life
I felt her heartbeat as if touching mine
The rhythm stays and never leaves
She smiles and warms the coldest of the days
Her soft caress brings peace and hope
And when I'm gone she's always there
To carry me through troubled times
She held me to her simple truth
That all I need is what she gives
In dreamland where the child still lives
Forever pure in arms of love
In dreamland where the child still lives
Forever pure in arms of love
This virtue leaves tranquility
As ever radiant it's always light
Her laughter drifts across a thousand miles
She wants to know
Why did I have to go
We were such good friends
Then we watched the party end
She needs to speak
Now is no tongue in cheek
So she can free her mind
She thinks I was unkind
Life often takes a turn
Love, many times will burn
But if you look at him
Sorrow will not fill your head
So I am holding on
To a memory, is that wrong?
So my desire I can keep
Close to me while I sleep
She, she
Life often takes a turn
Love many times will burn
But if you look ahead
Sorrow will not fill your head
She wants to know
Why did I have to go
We were such good friends
Then we watched the party end
You said you're gettin' over mebut I have to know, I have to know it's over'Cause maybe I'm not over you and I have to go
I have to find another And Lady when I'm over you then you have to know, you have to know I'm over you
Something I've been needing to be alone with youdon't tell me that it's over- no I feel alive, feel alive, I don't know
I feel a light, feel a light, coming on
I feel alive, oh no you said you were gettin' over mebut I have to know, I have to know it's over'Cause maybe I'm not over you and I have to go
I have to find another And Lady when I'm over you then you have to know, you have to know I'm over you
Something I been needing to be alone with youdon't tell me that I'm over you She only feels for me
She only sees for me
She only feels for me
She only sees for me
She only breathes for me
She only lives for me You said you're gettin' over mebut I have to know, I have to know it's over'Cause maybe I'm not over you and I have to go
I have to find another And Lady when I'm over you then you have to know, you have to know I'm over you
I looked around at everyone
Searched the crowd for some frisky fun
She turned to me and said what you looking at
I couldn't help but notice her glow
She turned to me and spoke but carefully
I think that you're crazy
Someday be my lady
Hold me till the end of time
And now the fun had begun
The others had settled into bed
I chit the chat and shot the shit with her
Made no mistake cause she's a star
She turned to me and spoke but carefully
I think that you're crazy
Someday be my lady
Hold me till the end of time
I think that you're crazy
Someday be my lady
Hold me till the end of time
How can I feel
They way I do
When I see you
How am I
Supposed to be
Fuck this whole goddamn country
I think that you're crazy
Someday be my lady
Hold me till the end of time
I think that you're crazy
Someday be my lady
Hold me till the end of time
I think that you're crazy
Someday be my lady
Hold me till the end of time
I think that you're crazy
Someday be my lady

She comes undone
Got no fix she had no fun
Tries to shoot holes in the sun
It's got her running
She comes complete
With a switchblade and her speed
But she can't take all this heat
It's got her hiding
But I just don't get her
No I just don't get her at all
She wants to break my fall
She doesn't speak at all
She spends her day
on her knees she likes to pray
You can always hear her say
That life means something
She spends her time
Out of space and out of line
Planning some unholy crime
That comes to nothing
She said
How do you think it feels
You said you're getting over me
But I have to know
I have to know it's over
Cause maybe I'm not over you and I have to go
I have to find another
And lady when I'm over you
Then you'll have to know
You have to know I'm over you
Something I've been needing to
Be alone with you
Don't tell that it's over, no
I feel alive
Feel alive, I don't know
I feel a light, feel a light coming on
I feel alive, oh no
You said you were getting over me
But I have to know
I have to know it's over
Cause maybe I'm not over you and I have to go
I have to find another
And lady when I'm over you
Then you'll have to know
Have to know I'm over you
Something I've been needing to
Be alone with you
Don't tell that it's over, no
She only feels for me
She only sees for me
She only breathes for me
She only sees for me
She only lives for me
You said you're getting over me
But I have to know
I have to know it's over
Cause maybe I'm not over you and I have to go
I have to find another
And lady when I'm over you
Then you'll have to know
You have to know I'm over you
Something I've been needing to, be alone with you
Don't tell that it's over, no
I have heard it said so many times, "Love is blind"
So why are you staring?
You say that love is all we need, well
Does that apply to me?
'Cause I have found someone
That I think is beautiful
And I have fallen in love
And I'm telling you
Means everything to me
Makes me feel nothing else matters
Not even what the world thinks of me
They told me when I was a little girl, "Love's a pearl -
You're lucky if you find it,
So share that precious beauty with the world,"
Now suddenly they say I've got to hide it
But I have found true love
And there is nothing you can do
Just try and stop me, just try and stop us
Good luck to you, 'cause
Means everything to me
Makes me feel nothing else matters
Not even what the world thinks of me
(She...she...she...)
It's simple as can be
I love her, she loves me
This is what everybody dreams of
There's nothing to be afraid of, there's nothing to be afraid of, after all it's
Only love
'cause
Means everything to me
She loves her man
And lets him know every way she can
So long so, hand in hand, together
She knows his mind
Every way, all the time
So long so, hand in hand, together
Ooh, oh yeah
She stands along
All the way, right or wrong
To support and more, twice as strong, yeah, together
She, she
She's a woman
[Verse 1]
I find the things to say
You make me feel this way
To say i fear the most
this day is almost over
[Preverse]
[Verse 2]
To see her everyday
gives me thoughts i cant explain
I stare when she walks by
lost time never crossed my mind
[Chorus]
She takes my mind away
She takes my thoughts away
She takes my breath away
Everything I need (everything I need)
[Verse 3]
I'm going out tonight
I'm gunna have some fun
I wish I could tell her
But I'm a coward
[Chorus 2]
[Bridge]
She is the one who fills my soul
With grace and dignity so rare
A jewel that shines upon her child
And lifts me to a higher place - a higher place
She sang to me before I breathed
Alive inside she gave me life
I felt her heartbeat as if touching mine
The rhythm stays and never leaves
She smiles and warms the coldest of the days
Her soft caress brings peace and hope
And when I'm gone she's always there
To carry me through troubled times
She held me to her simple truth
That all I need is what she gives
In dreamland where the child still lives
Forever pure in arms of love
In dreamland where the child still lives
Forever pure in arms of love
This virtue leaves tranquility
As ever radiant it's always light
Her laughter drifts across a thousand miles
And takes me back to innocence
She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes
I know, she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
I know, she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows she's so good
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes
I know, she's goin' down, goin'
If I hailed a taxi cab would it
Send me the right way
If I had another chance
would I want to change my life today
Cause lately I've been thinking
Is it really worth the ride
But she's the one that's telling me
Just to give it one more try
When I'm lost and just don't know what to do
She's the voice in me just guiding me through
I'm never gonna leave her she's my friend
I'm never gonna run away
To find a better day
And I'm never gonna tell her goodbye
She's the reason I'm alright
I don't need a way to see tomorrow where I'll be
I could wish for many things
But the future ain't all up to me
She's the one I trust in
Like I trust the beating of my heart
Never gonna lose my way cause
I found my guiding star
When I'm down and just don't know what to do
She's the voice in me just guiding me through
I'm alright
she gave me her mind,
she gave me here body,
but she gave it to anybody,
she was number 9.99 on my $3.00 list,
she got the jack, she got the jack
she got the jack, she got the jack
she got the jack' she got the jack
she got the jack jack jack jack jack jack jack
she got the jack
She gave me the Queen
She gave me the King
She was wheelin' and dealin'
Just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair
But I had to try
Her Deuce was wild
But my Ace was high
But how was I to know
That she'd been dealt with before
Said she'd never had a Full House
But I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down
If she played it right
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
Poker face was her name
Poker face was her nature
Poker straight was her game
If she knew she could get you
She played 'em fast
And she played 'em hard
She could close her eyes
And feel every card
But how was I to know
That she'd been shuffled before
Said she'd never had a Royal Flush
But I should have known
That all the cards were comin'
From the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealin' out
I'd have dealt it back
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, and who knows what else?
She's got the jack, yeah, yeah
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She's got the jack
She's got the jack, she's got the jack,
Ooh, It was a bad deal, (Jack)
She gave me the (Jack), hey

She's got the (Jack), ooh can't you tell
She's got the (Jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack)

She's got the jack, she's got the Jack

She's got the jack
She's got the jack, and it hurts!
(She's got the jack)
She's got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack

Everytime you speak my name
my ears will ring drive me insane
all I ever wanted
it's all you ever gave to me
Everytime you reach out to me,
embrace the love you cannot see
emptiness
you feed on me from the inside
One day I hope things will be different for you and me
and until that day arrives I must make sure I survive
You lift me up and throw me down
never saved me
let me drown
I'm dying here without you
dying and you never knew
Never knew how things could be
all alone just you and me
death is all that I fear
what I leave behind sincere
I can only care so much
longing for your softest touch
Until I cannot stand the pain
until my wishes are in vain
One day I hope things will be different for you and me
and until that day arrives I must make sure I survive
You lift me up and throw me down
never saved me
let me drown
I'm dying here without you
dying and you never knew
You lied to me, straight faced
all the time was just a waste
There was nothing I could ever say
to get you to think this way
Psychotic demands,
in the end you'll repremand,
standing in the pouring rain
with nothing left to explain
One day I hope things will be different for you and me
and until that day arrives I must make sure I survive
You lift me up and throw me down
never saved me
let me drown
I'm dying here without you
dying and you never knew
She, she came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
And she, she worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her backyard in the delta sun
Oh, but she sure could sing, oh yeah she sure could sing
Then he looked down and he took a little pity
The whole town swore he decided, he'd help her some
And he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
For deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one
And oh, but she sure could sing, my, my she sure could sing
She had faith and she had believin'
Led all the people together in a singin'
And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Hallelujah, oh hallelujah
They, would walk singin' songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure, she have to go away
And she never knew what her life was to give her
Never had to worry about it for one single day
Oh, but she sure could sing, na, na but she sure could sing
She
may be the face I can't forget
a trace of pleasure I regret
may be my treasure or the price I have to pay
she may be the song that Solomon sings
may be the chill that autumn brings
my be a hounded tearful things
within the measure of the day.
She
may be the beauty or the beast
may be the famine or the feast
may turn each day into heave or a hell
she may be the mirror of my dream
a smile reflected in a stream
she may not be what she may seem
inside as shell
she who always seems so happy 'n proud
who's eyes can be so private and so proud
no one's allowed to see them when they cry
she may be the love that can and hope to last
may come to me from shadows of the past
that I remember till day I die
She
may be the reason I survive
the why and where for I'm alive
the one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years
me I'll take her laughter and her tears
and make them all my souvenirs
for where she goes I got to be
the meaning of my life is
she, she, she
All around
In a place unknown
Many paths, many truths unfold
There she stands reaching out alone
In the dark
She still breathes in light
She’s there blowing kisses to the past
Rays of hope
Dotted skies she dreams
Thinking of better times she lives and waits
Begin
Everything feels so numb and cold
There she stands, reaching out alone
Sinking ship that sailed too far away
From home
She’s throwing fear away,
She won’t be frightened anymore
Reaching out, I’m reaching out to you
For hope
And she sleeps with angels tonight,
Waiting for you
If I could give words to heal,
I’d give them to you
Are you there?
Are you still there?
I’m waiting for you,
Reaching for you?
Are you there?
Are you still there?
You have been left alone
A creature of innocence
You lie for what you worth
And struggle with you confidence
And when your devil complains
And tears you up to start again
And when you’re lying on the stage
And nothing works, just living hurts
Forget, forget
With a secret harmonic emotion…
And so we meet alone
Two players in a public show
Don’t cry for audience
There’s no one that can take you home
And when your devil complains
And tears you up to start again
And when you’re lying on the stage
And nothing works, just living hurts
Forget, forget
Wandering in thoughts
I remember her calls
Her voice and whisper
Silhouettes of my past
Increase all my sorrow
Who am I now
She leaves a memory
Embodiment of harmony
Beauty of a woman
I felt eternal life
But now just realize
Dreams are broken down
I won't forget her words
Whatever happens to our life
No one will surrender
And if I fall
Keep me from going under
I know we'll meet again
I'm on my long way to you
Time will pass my way
And I will follow
On broken wings of dreams
Only for you
Her voice echoes in the hall
I try so hard to recall
But the echo fades away
It takes only a lifetime
I must wait
Where am I now
I won't forget her words
Whatever happens to our life
No one will surrender
And if I fall
Keep me from going under
I know we'll meet again
She's every word on the page and poems of love
The greatest story I'll ever read
She means the world to me, she
She's every flower in the spring, color of leaves in the fall
And every bird with a song to sing
Look at what God can bring, she
She is the light that will shine on my darkest days
The air around me that I breathe
If she ever needs, I will be there
No matter where on this earth, I'll go
'Cause she's like the wind that blows free
She is the light that'll shine on my darkest days
The air around me that I breathe
She is the rain from the sky, the rivers that flow
To every ocean, to every sea
There is but one for me
She quenches the thirst in me, yeah
She, she, yeah, she, she, she
She is the light, she is my life
[Verse]She walks by moonlight
No one really knows
Enchanted starlight
Never goin' home
[Chorus]
I know she's goin' down, goin'
Everybody knows, she's so good
[Verse]
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes
[Chorus]
Doin' well for others
She doesn't really know
The powers are within her
As she takes off her clothes
[Chorus]
You know the type,
She light up a room like sunshine
That special kind of divine creature,
She leave you tongue-tied
Imagination running wild,
Till I’m wishing,
I could just go up,
And hit her with some one liner,
Like excuse me miss,
Would you like to be alone together?
I got some ways that I would like,
To get to know you better.
I was just hoping,
That we could be alone,
But I don’t know how to approach ya,
So I wrote you this open letter
And this isn’t small talk girl,
I’m no pretender,
You got me watching you,
Like I was front row and centrefold,
Look,
I know that I’m as ugly as sin,
But that aint gonna stop me,
From getting under your skin
Don’t get it twisted,
Never been a womaniser,
More like Orlando,
Carving poetry on trees for Rosaline.
I’m trying to think,
Of what I’ve got to offer,
And it’s true I don’t have much,
But you can have all of mine.
I’ve got a lovely smile,
Would you like to see it?
Don’t bring it out too much
Cos these part aint too seen it.
But I’ll throw one your way,
If you’re down to catch it, matter of fact,
I’d like to put one on your face,
Just to match it.
And when it’s all too much,
I could lift you up girl,
And we could be untouchable
We could hide all day,
Stay inside all day,
Give me a DVD,
And some comfort,
But the chances of me,
Actually spitting game outta she,
Are like slim to none,
So I’m back to square one
So I’m gonna sit and stare,
Just admire from afar,
As the she’s of the world
Shine bright like the stars
When she walk down the street,
She get the birds singing like…
It’s the way she moves,
It’s the way she speaks
It’s the way one smile,
Sweep me off of my feet
From the blondes to the brunettes
From B’s to double D’s
(infatuated with the many many styles of she)
It’s the way she laughs
It’s the way she cries
You know she look so good,
Up on that pedestal right?
All shapes and sizes,
They all prizes to me
(infatuated with the many many styles of she)
She’s everywhere,
On the street, on the train
On the bus, at the movies,
At your job, or the lectures at uni,
Your probably find her,
At the beach or pub local,
Cos she can be found,
In any country overseas
Some dedicate their lives,
To trying to undress her
Empires rise and fall,
In efforts to impress her
She’ll probably be the death of me too,
Cos the truth is,
Trigger happy cupid,
Got me acting pretty stupid.
See I’ve been struggling,
Since I made the discovery,
That everyday's a tug between,
My head, my heart and that other thing.
The misadventures,
Of a eligible bachelor,
Roaming the city streets,
Taking on any challenge
I get my Kingdom
For a horse whisperer from my lips
And I want to know the story
Of the swing of her hips
From the mind,
To her body,
And her facial features,
There’s no question the most precious,
Are nature’s creatures.
See I’ve been looking,
For someone to share my passenger seat,
You might just be the best thing,
That ever happens to me
So come and meet me,
At the bar later,
And I’m gonna get to know,
A brand new she heartbreaker like…
It’s the way she moves,
It’s the way she speaks
It’s the way one smile,
Sweep me off of my feet
From the blondes to the brunettes
From B’s to double D’s
It’s the way she laughs
It’s the way she cries
You know she look so good,
Up on that pedestal
All shapes and sizes,
She was a lightning there whereever she walks
Who she is everybody knows
Cause life was her`s and she dont care
She knows she`s not pretty
She knows she is not neat
But she`s standing straight on her feet
Showing her finger to society
Everyday another try
Life was good, life was high
She couldn`t care much less
She was rude in speaking out
All the injustice she found
She was wild and loud
Life is hard if you are free
Open curtains that you see
There will be no disguise
Don`t give up in agony
Stand your ground and you will see
No gain without a try
She was a lightning ...
She was a fighter
And she never understand why
The hell people are under command
Sneak and crawl for some piece of bone
She`d rather drink some beer and have a laugh
Community of punkrocklife
She`d give a shit about indignity
Goddamn hunger, steal some more
She was happy, strong and poor
A persuasive mind
Berlin streets were cold at night
She had trouble and a fight
She would knock them down
Life is hard if you are free
Open curtains that you see
There will be no disguise
Don`t give up in agony
Stand your ground and you will see
I paid all my dues
And she wanted to know
That I’d never leave her
Now I’m ready to go
And strange as it seems
She’s endless to me
She’s just like paperwork
But harder to read
Patience, my enemy
And loving’s my friend
It’s harder to leave
With my heart on my sleeve
Than to stay and just pretend
Oh, she knows me so well
Oh, she knows me like I know myself
I made all my plans
And she has made hers
She kept me in mind
But I wasn’t sure
I searched every room
For a way to escape
But every time
I tried to leave
She keeps holding on to me
For dear life
And blocking my way
Patience, my enemy
And loving’s my friend
It’s harder to leave
With my heart on my sleeve
Than to stay and just pretend
Oh, she knows me so well
Oh, she knows me like I know myself
And like the back of her hand
She already understands everything
Won’t you stay?
She says
And she already knows how it goes
And where she stands
I’ll stay, anyway
Cos she knows me so well
Oh, she knows me like I know myself
Oh, she knows me so well
I really need her
She
She
She
She
She loves
She
She
She
I have found a lady
That's so real to reality
She's the kind of lady
That's so fresh and dressed to the trip
Flowers, fancy car, diamonds and gold
She wears it well
She's the kind that's close to me
And flower can't you tell
She's mine
She's mine
And she's fine
And I know so deep in my heart
I really need her
And I know that
She - is the one I love
She - one I'm thinking of
She - that girl blows my mind
She - I know my girl is fine
Leather and lace and designer pantyhose
She looks so good to me
Bad from head to toe
Body so hot
Looks so good
She makes me sweat
I know I love that girl
I know I can't forget her
She's mine
She's mine
And she's fine
And I know so deep in my heart
I really need her
And I now that
She - is the one I love
She's - one I'm thinking of
She's - the lady of my dreams
She's - not the way it seems
She
She
She
She
And I know that
She
She maybe the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
Maybe my treasure or the price
I have to pay
She maybe the song that summer sings
Maybe the chill that autumn brings
Maybe a hundred different things
Within a measure of a day
She maybe the beauty or the beast
Maybe the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven
Or a hell
She maybe the mirror of my dream
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No-one's allowed to see them
When they cry
She maybe the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember till
The day I die
She maybe the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the
Rough and rainy years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
Always tried to reach up higher
And she always loved to play with the fire
Tried to be what others admire
And nothing would keep her away from what she desires
Pulls the sheets above her head
To forget all the scars that she hides inside
Close her eyes, forgets the pain
To awake finding out her cry was in vain?
She never thought that she would face this kind of pain
Only remembering words that leave her stained
She never thought she would stand here in the rain
Begging to her God to stop her from breathing
She faces herself in the mirror
Not reflecting the fairiest at all
But in her eyes there is a fire
A growing sparkle, reaching for a higher call
Now she's all alone again
Wondering
Why life just won't happen her way
Filled with agony and anger
She cries
Take me away, relieve me of my pain
She never thought that she would face this kind of pain
Only remembering words that leave her stained
She never thought she would stand here in the rain
Begging to her God to stop her from breathing
She didn't know that she was meant to face this day
The scars inside, now fading away
Didn't know there was a sanctuary for her soul
May be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred tearful things
Within the measure of the day.
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside a shell
She who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that can and hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I remember till the day I die
May be the reason I survive
The why and where for I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I got to be
The meaning of my life is
She may be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
Maybe my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song the summer sings
May be the chill the autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in the stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She, who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them, when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
That comes to me from shadows in the past
And I’ll remember 'till the day I die
She maybe the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I care for through the rough and ready years
Me, I'll take the laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
Looking back, I’m looking fast
I’m looking for something to remind me
I’ve waited on a long lost note, written by you
Take my heart,
don’t bend it too hard
Cause I’ve got the remedy, I got the remedy, I got the remedy of
what you need
She wants everything that I can’t be
Tell me when you look in the mirror, do you think you could be with me
There’s never good parting words
Seems I’m making myself sick just to be cured
But she’s the queen on my board
Somehow I thought I’d win if
I was keeping score
She wants everything that I can’t be
Tell me when you look in the mirror, do you think you could be
Bend and I'll break you
Leave and I'll take you back again
So bend and I'll break you
Leave and I'll take you back again
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
She bends and she bows
She's cold, but she melts like snow
Bend and I'll break you
Sleep and I'll wake you tonight
Hey, don't you want to understand?
Understand that
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
She bends and she bows
She's cold, but she melts like snow
She bends, she breaks
She hates you but then she makes a mistake
Confused and a lot to take
And where to fall out and when
Hey, yes
She won't be good to you
And I hate the way I am
So, bend and I'll break you
Leave and I'll take you back again
Hey, don't you want to understand?
Understand that
If she bends, then she breaks
She loves you but then she takes it away
She bends and she bows
She's cold but she melts like snow
She bends and she breaks
She hates you, but then she makes a mistake
Bend and I'll break you down
She bends and she breaks
She bends and she bows
Instrumental
She glows around you like the moon
She smiles at her reflection in a spoon
She reads expensive magazines
She sees herself in everything
You can't judge her for that
She knows where her head is at
You can't judge her for that
She knows where her head is at
She's tangled up in you
She's laced up in your shoe
She's got a ladder to the sky
She's got a mad look in her eye
You can't judge her for that
She knows where her head is at
You can't judge her for that, oh no
She knows where her head is at
She moves in simple curves
She speaks in simple words
And it's simple to be in love with her
And it's simple to be in love with her
You can't judge her for that
She knows where her head is at
You can't judge her for that, oh no
She knows where her head is at
You call her home
And you want to move in
You call her home
And you want to move in
No but bad house is not a home
And a home is not a house
When there's not enough room for you
You call her home
And you want to move in
You call her home sweet home
Sweet home, sweet, sweet home
Walking down the street
Alone among the mass
I thought that was a dream
When she appeared to my sight
In front of me she was
Wrapped in a veil of light
I knew I had to tell her
But no sound came from my mouth
Her eyes in mine were drowned
No need to touch or speak
I knew she was the one
But she didn't know who I was
She's my first emotion
She's the love in motion
She's the beauty
so we trade our lives in for that fragile piece of mind
that tells us everything is gonna be ok.
we work our lives away and keep our savings saved,
and wait inside for a rainy day.
but all that time the sun is shining.
all those days are lost we convince ourselves
we need a purpose, and when it's not too clear
why all of us are here we follow the path that's made for us.
and we'll sit around
and wonder what has happened to our lives
when we realize that our purpose has no purpose,
that the lives we could have had we all left for dead
when we let our lives be lived for us.
i once knew a girl who wanted all the world
but she settled for the simple life instead,
after years of nine-to-five,
that yearning feeling died she joined the ranks of the living dead.
and all that time the sun was shining all her days were lost,
she'd convinced herself she'd need a purpose,
and when it wasn't clear,
the reason she was here she followed just like a lot of us.
she sat around and wondered what had happened to her life,
everything seemed to be in such a rush.
the dreams she could have had were not the ones she had,
She has the silence deep in her breasts embraced
She wears a perfume of a truly vicious taste.
She has the wisdom in her empathic eyes.
She knows the truth to all unspoken lies.
She says she'd seel her angel for a dream
She says that she is not who she might seem
She says that she has lost her self-esteem
She says that she will not give up her dream
She offers traitors her lap to feel like home.
She masteres violence as if she fears noone.
She makes your anger turn into quiet tears.
She makes you laugh about intimate fears.
She hears the voices that tell me what to do.
She look into our eyes, but only smiles at you.
She knows the warmth she feels is not for long.
She stopped to speak that's why I end this song.
It's kind of funny, you know...
'cause I'm not really hear for your psycho games
Little demons make your eyes turn silver, you freak!
Your lips are turning blue
No, this is really not my kind of stimulation
No, this is not a proper treatment
Life? You can have it if you want!
If I dont pick up the phone like I used to (for you)
dont you take it personal
if I dont do all the things that I used to do (to you)
I aint mad at you
if you get to feeling stressed up in your chest
thinking that you about to lose
(baby its true)
and if you losing out on sleep
on worrying about me
this how it be
if you dont know
now you know youre gonna miss (my love)
and i aint stressing bout a dog gone thing
cause i was true when i gave you (my love)
if you search you will never find another love like (my love)
youre gonna miss me
i aint got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)
if you think i caught a feeling
when i heard about that other chick (no)
i already knew about it
i just needed time
just to clear my mind
and ask myself
(why i didnt handle him)
if you wouldve taken care of home
instead of leaving me alone
(I) still would be right there with you
taking care of you
instead of loving you
like i used to do
if you dont know
now you know youre gonna miss (my love)
and i aint stressing bout a dog gone thing
cause i was true when i gave you (my love)
if you search you will never find another love like (my love)
youre gonna miss me
i aint got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)
there once was a time
i blamed myself for what was wrong
(i can see so clearly now because you are gone)
thats how i spent all my time when you werent home
(playin around with them raggedy heffers)
therell be no more stressing
no more crying no more trying
I would rather be alone
(Id rather be all by myself yeah)
cause this valuable heart of mine
was yours until i realized finally opened my eyes
you see ladies
i know i know better
what was i thinking?
he gon miss me when im gone
if you dont know
now you know youre gonna miss (my love)
and i aint stressing bout a dog gone thing
cause i was true when i gave you (my love)
if you search you will never find another love like (my love)
youre gonna miss me
She is not paper thin
She is not silent, nameless, happy
She is not on your wall
She is not near you, perfect, naked
She is a human being
She is my reason why
She is my very image
She is my child
She is not for your eyes
Not for your liking, purpose, pleasure
She is not usable
She is not pictures, image, money
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten
By everyone
And she
She worked and she slaved so hard
Big old field was her backyard
In the Delta sun
Oh, oh, she sure could sing
Oh my, she sure could sing
And he
Looked down and he took a little pity
Whole town swore, he decided
He would help us out
And he
Didn't mind that she wasn't very pretty
'Cause deep inside his heart he knew
She was the only one
Oh, oh, she sure could sing
Hey, she sure could sing
She had faith, she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
And she prayed every night to the Lord up above
Singing, ?Hallelujah?
They
Used to walk, singing songs by the river
Even when she knew for sure
She'd have to go away
Never knew what a life was to give her
Never had to worry about it
For one single day
Oh my, she sure could sing
Oh yeah, she sure could sing
She was singing, singing, ?Hallelujah?
And she
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten
By everyone
And she
She worked and she slaved so hard
The big old field was her backyard
In the Delta sun
Oh, oh, she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing
Oh yeah, she sure could sing
She walked towards you with her head down low
She wondered if there was a way out of the blue
Who's gonna take her home this time?
She knew that this time wouldn't be the last time
Oh, oh, oh, oh
There she waits looking for a savior
Someone to save her from a dying self
Always taking ten steps back and one step forward
She's tired, but she don't stop
Oh, oh, oh, she don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop
Oh, oh, oh, she don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop
Every day she stood, hoping for a new life
She closed her eyes, and she heard a small voice say
You don't stop no, you belong to me
She cried, maybe it's too late
Don't, don't stop, don't, don't stop
She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop
She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop
She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop
She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop
She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop
She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop
She walked towards you with her head down low
She wondered if there was a way out of the blue
Who's gonna take her home this time?
She grew up without very much
She didn't know who her father was
She met a boy and her heart he stole
So she gave him all her body and her soul
She's not ready to face
The outcome of their mistake
It's brought her nothing but pain
And she's too young for this fate
Chorus:
She's alone
Could have been the undertow
Where it takes her no one knows
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
When we throw stones
People deny and criticize
They sent her away isolated
Caught in a bad dream
Perfectly rejected
They left her alone and neglected
They put her out on display
Showcasing all her mistakes
She's worn out and she's afraid
Why does it always happen this way?
Chorus
She went to them for help
But blindly they cast the first stone
They could have taken her in
Instead they left her on her own
All alone
She's alone
Could have been the undertow
Where it takes her no one knows
That's how it goes
That's how it goes...
