I'm posting these lyrics from songmeanings.net, so let me know if they are wrong or I have missed anything out. I'm going to post them in five's and in alphabetical order.

 

(It's Hard) Letting You Go

It ain't no fun lying down to sleep

And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep

I wish the stars up in the sky would all just call in sick

And the clouds would take the moon out on some one-way trip

 

I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend

But somehow they drove me back here once again

To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul

I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home

It would all have been so easy

If you'd only made me cry

And told me how you're leaving me to some organ grinder's lullaby

 

It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart

It's hard letting you go

 

Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue

And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to

Well, me, these days I just miss you - it's the nights that I go insane

Unless you're coming back for me, that's one thing I know that won't change

 

Cos it's hard, it's so hard - it's tearing out my heart

Cos it's hard letting you go

 

Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart

And we'll find you somebody else new

Well I've made my last trip to those carnival lips

When I bet all that I had on you

 

Oh it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard

Oh it's hard letting you go

Oh it's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart

But it's hard letting you go

 

 

(You Want To) Make A Memory

Hello again, it's you and me

Kinda always like it used to be

Sippin' wine, killing time

Trying to solve life's mysteries

 

How's your life, it's been a while?

God it's good to see you smile

I see you reaching for your keys

Looking for a reason not to leave

 

If you don't know if you should stay

If you don't say what's on your mind

Baby just breathe

There's nowhere else tonight we should be

 

You wanna make a memory?

 

I dug up this old photograph

look at all that hair we had

it's bitter sweet to hear you laugh

your phone is ringin' I don't wanna ask

 

If you go now I'll understand

If you stay, hey, I've gotta plan

 

You wanna make a memory?

You wanna steal a peice of time?

You can sing the melody to me

And I can write a couple lines

 

You wanna make a memory

 

If you don't know if you should stay

And you don't say what's on your mind

Baby just breathe

There's nowhere else tonight we should be - We should be.

 

You wanna make a memory?

You wanna steal a peice of time?

You can sing the melody to me

And I can write a couple lines

 

You wanna make a memory

You wanna make a memory

 

 

99 In The Shade

I feel I'm burning up with fever

But the fire's feeling really good tonight

And it's alright

I'm gonna see Sahara Jack and Suntan Sally

Somebody tells me even Tommy's coming down tonight

If Gina says it's alright

 

I'm gonna see those Senoritas

Lying under the sun

They're greasing it up

With know I want to be their blanket

Gonna tell every girl

Hey, baby... You're the one...

 

Oh tell the boys I'm on my way

I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet

I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid

And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

 

When the sun goes down that's when the street heats up

Senorita Margarita fills your empty cup tonight -

She make you feel alright

 

A good time here don't cost much money

Just a little sweet talking and a pretty native honey

And you're set for life

Or one hell of a nigth

 

I'm gonna see those sons of beaches

Out there living it up the surf

And the sand,

Man that life ain't so tough

So get me in the action so I can tell

Every girl she's the one

 

Oh tell the boys I'm on my way

I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet

I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid

And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

 

 

All About Lovin' You

Looking at the pages of my life

Faded memories of me and you

Mistakes you know I've made a few

Took some shots and fell from time to time

Baby, you were there to pull me through

Been around that block a time or two

 

Gonna lay it on the line

Ask me how we've come this far

The answers written in my eyes

 

Everytime I look at you

Baby I see something new

That takes me higher then before

That makes me want you more

I don't wanna sleep tonight

Dreamings just a waste of time

When I look at what my life's been coming to

I'm all about loving you

 

I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues

Baby, we've been to hell and back again

And through it all you're always my best friend

For all the words I didn't say

And all the things I didn't do

Tonight I'm gonna find a way

 

Everytime I look at you

Baby I see something new

It takes me higher then before

It makes me want you more

I don't wanna sleep tonight

Dreamings just a waste of time

When I look at what my life's been coming to

I'm all about lovin' you

 

You can take this world away,

You're everything I am

Just read the lines on my face

I'm all about lovin' you

I'm alla bout, I'm alla bout

I'm all about lovin' you

 

Everytime I look at you

Baby I see something new

That takes me higher then before

it makes me want you more

I don't wanna sleep tonight

Dreamings just a waste of time

When I look at what my life's been coming to

I'm all about lovin' you

 

 

All I Want Is Everything

Some 15 year old kid sits on his porch, it's half-past noon

Trying to figure out just what he's doing

Why he had to grow up so soon

With all the gangs, all the guns - what ya gonna learn in school

There's got to be some way out of here

He says: Man, this life is cruel

 

I used to know this Puerto Rican girl who lied to change her life

She changed her name, her face because the grass looked greener on the other side

Turned her back, she ran away straight into the night

Her friends, her family feel the pain, but she's the one who cries

 

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you need

I want everything

 

I've had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything

I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything

It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string

I want more than I see coming

All I want is everything

All I want is everything

 

Say a prayer for Donnie, he died in his room just the other day

His brother came home, found him dead on the floor with a needle in his vein

The cops came down with a body bag, they said Donnie's a casulaty

I said, All it's about is the boy checked out, he couldn't handle reality

 

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you need

I want everything

 

Had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything

I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything

It's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string

I want more than I see coming

All I want is everything

All I want is everything

Well I want it all

 

Tell me what you want

Tell me what you need

Tell me what you want

I want everything

 

Had enough of havin' nothing, I won't take just anything

I got my mind set on something, all I want is everything

Well it's my life Mr. - I ain't running, I'm no puppet on a string

I want more than I see coming

All I want is everything

All I want is everything

All I want is everything

All I want

Well I want it all

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it ... (Repeat till fade)

All I Want To Do Is You

Working hard eight days a week

Most days we got no time to speak

I feel like I'm chasing after my own life

Girl can't you see you're my only vice

Take the phone off the hook

Turn the lights down low

We'll play some old Sam Cooke

Baby, let yourself go

Chorus:

All I wanna do is you

All I wanna do is you

I'll do anything you want me to

All I wanna do is you

I don't care what kinda clothes you wear

It doesn't matter how you do your hair

I don't need no champagne on ice

Girl, can't you see that you're my only vice

Turn the whole world off

Keep your high heels on

Take it nice and slow

And make it last 'til dawn

Chorus:

All I wanna do is you

All I wanna do is you

I'll do anything you want me to

All I wanna do is you

I don't wanna eat

I don't wanna sleep

Don't wanna sit around and watch TV

When you're next to me it's where I wanna be

All I wanna, all I wanna, all I wanna do…

All I wanna do is you

All I wanna do is you

I'll do anything you want me to

All I wanna do is you

 

 

All Talk No Action

First time I saw you girl

I knew that it wouldn't be long

I tried holdin' back my feelings

But you came on so strong

No one told me about her

But I know they all know

That I know all about the girl's

That do the things you do

 

Cause you're all talk, no action

 

You're playing those game with me baby

Well one of us has got to win

Some day all the boys are gonna find out

That you won't even play with them

You're runnin' out of numbers baby

You won't say no, you just say maybe

One of these day you're gonna get

What's comin' to you

 

Cause you're all talk, no action

You better stop this foolin' around

You tore it up to cool me down

 

Sticks and stones will break my bones

But their names could never hurt me

I ain't afraid of you running away

If you love me tonight and desert me

 

 

Always

this romeo is bleeding

but you can't see his blood

it's nothing but some feelings

that this old dog kicked up

 

it's been raining since you left me

now I'm drowning in the flood

you see I've always been a fighter

but without you I give up

 

now I can't sing a love song

like the way it's meant to be

well, I guess I'm not that good anymore

but baby, that's just me

 

yeah, I will love you

baby - Always

and I'll be there forever and a day -

Always

I'll be there till the stars don't shine

till the heavens burst and

the words don't rhyme

and I know when I die, you'll be on my mind

and I'll love you - Always

 

now you're pictures that you left behind

are just memories of a different life

some that made us laugh, some that made us cry

one that made you have to say goodbye

what I'd give to run my fingers through

your hair

to touch your lips, to hold you near

when you say your prayers

try to understand

I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

 

when he holds you close, when he pulls you near

when he says the words you've been

needing to hear

I'll wish I was him `cause those words are mine

to say to you till the end of time

 

yeah, I will love you

baby - Always

and I'll be there forever and a day -

Always

if you told me to cry for you

I could

if you told me to die for you

I would

take a look at my face

there's no price I won't pay

to say these words to you

 

well, there ain't no luck

in these loaded dice

but baby if you give me just one more try

we can pack up our old dreams

and our old lives

we'll find a place where the sun still shines

 

 

Always Run To You

The clock strikes ten

Out on the streets again

I been looking for something to please me since I don't know when

Out on the dark side of town

Another rumbles gone down

And life on the high side isn't what this boys about

She's got something I want man, it's something I need

It takes more than the night to satisfy me...

I stand accused

That I can always run to you

Any road that you choose

I can always run to you

I stand accused

I can always run to you

I run to you

Baby, I can always run

To a heart of chrome

And a soul of steel

We've done more white lines than you'll know any one we could steal

And when I give her the gun

You know she feels so right

And we don't let go when we're alone when I'm holding her so tight.

She's got something I want man, it's something I need

It takes more than the night to satisfy me.

I stand accused

I can always run to you

Any road that you choose

I can always run to you

I stand accused

I can always run to you

I run to you

Baby, I can always run

And when the morning comes and I go to sleep

When I close my eyes she's waiting for me

I know that tonight she'll satisfy me.

I stand accused

I can always run to you

Any road that you choose

I can always run to you

I stand accused

I can always run to you

I run to you

Baby, I can always run

 

 

Any Other Day

Alarm clock rings it's 6:45

Must have hit that snooze button least three times

I'm wishing this morning

Was still last night

On any other day

I just might want to die

Traffic’s backed up 20miles to the east

Must have hit every damn red light on the street

The weatherman says it's gonna to rain for a week

Hey what can you do

 

On any other day I'd be blue eyes crying

I could tell the world at least I’m trying

The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new

For me and you

On any other day

I might just go crazy

The grace is knowing that you're gonna save me

Maybe luck and love can pull us through

 

On any other day

I might just stay in bed

Sink down in a sea of blankets

Pull them up over my head

Catch a beer buzz in the morning

Just to get a little edge

Then maybe just get up in time

To do it all again

Hey, I like where this it's going

Yeah, ‘cause I know where it's been

On any other day I'd be blue eyes crying

I could tell the world at least I’m trying,

The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new

For me and you

On any other day

I might just go crazy

The grace is knowing that you're gonna save me

Maybe luck and love can pull us through

On any other day

 

Alarm clock rings it’s 6:45

I like waking up with you on my mind

Knowing that you’re saving me one more time

 

On any other day I'd be blue eyes crying

I could tell the world at least I’m trying,

The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new

For me and you

On any other day

I might just go crazy

The grace is knowing that you're gonna save me

Maybe luck and love can pull us through

On any other day

 

Backdoor To Heaven

Well, now we're alone

My heart's in your hands I need someone to love

Can't I be your friend I feel your rebel to me, baby

 

Won't you give me what's wrong or right now

You got me praying oh baby, on my knees

Won't you let me in, let me in, let me in

Your backdoor to heaven is in your arms tonight

You're my backdoor to heaven

Won't you let me in, let me in, let me in

 

I'm just a sinner but ain't that all the same

So let me in, let me in, let me in

The backdoor to heaven is in your arms to heaven

You're my backdoor to heaven

Baby you gotta let me in, let me in, let me in

The backdoor to heaven

Yeah, baby, it's my time

You're my backdoor to heaven.

Bed Of Roses

Sitting here wasted and wounded

at this old piano

Trying hard to capture

the moment this morning i don't know

'Couse a bottle of vodka

is still lodged in my head

 

And some blond gave me nightmares,

I think that she's still in my bed

As i dream about movies

they won't make of me when i'm dead

 

With an ironclad fist i wake up and

French kiss the morning

While some marching band keeps

its own beat in my head

While we're talking

About all the things that i long to believe

About love and the truth and

what you mean to me

And the truth is baby you're all that i need

 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses

For tonite i sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

 

Well i'm so far away

That each step that i take is on my way home

A king's ransome in dimes i'd give each night

Just to see through this payphone

Still i run out of time

Or it's hard to get through

Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you

i'll just close my eyes and whisper,

baby blind love is true

 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses

For tonite i sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

 

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry

The barkeeper's wig's crooked

And she's giving me the eye

I might have said yeah

But i laughed so hard i think i died

 

When you close your eyes

Know i'll be thinking about you

While my mistress she calls me

To stand in her spotlight again

Tonite i won't be alone

But you know that don't

Mean i'm not lonely i've got nothing to prove

For it's you that i'd die to defend

 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses

For tonite i sleep on a bed of nails

I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is

And lay you down on a bed of roses

 

 

Bells Of Freedom

I have walked all alone

On these streets I call home

Streets of hope, streets of fear

Through the sidewalk cracks time disappears

 

I was lost, on my knees

On the eve of defeat

As I choked back the tears

There’s a silent scream no one could hear

 

So far away from everything you know is true

Something inside that makes you do what you got to do

 

Ring them bells, ring them loud

Let them ring here and now

Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom

When your world’s crashing down

Like you’re lost every round

Stand your ground

And ring the Bells of Freedom

 

Up the steps of the church

Through the fields and the dirt

In the dark I have seen

That the sun still shines for the one who believes

 

So far away

So full of doubt and needing proof

Just close your eyes and hear the sounds inside of you

 

Ring them bells, ring them loud

Let them ring here and now

Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom

When your world’s comes crashing down

Like you’ve lost every round

Stand your ground

And ring the bells of freedom

 

Ring them bells, ring them loud

Let them ring here and now

Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom

Yeah, when your world comes crashing down

Like you’ve lost every round

Stand your ground and ring the Bells of Freedom

Ring them bells, ring them loud

Let them ring here and now

Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom…

Price of fame

Bitter Wine

We met some time ago, when we were almost young

It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from?

I didn't have much money, so I stole you a rose

You were dressed like an orphan in Salvation Army clothes

 

I never thought I'd lose you, no, I'd rather go blind

I thought I saw a future, but the fortune teller lied

 

Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high

What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine

 

I know I wasn't funny, but you laughed at all of my jokes

When I was choking on the words to say, you stuck your finger down my throat

The first night I said I love you, you told me to go to hell

You were giving me head, on that creaky old bed at the O'Duval Motel

 

Just like everything, even good love has to die

Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye

 

Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high

What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine

 

Just like everything, good love has to die

Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye

No one even cried

We were one of a kind, one of a kind, yeah

 

Love left me stranded at the station

And the last train's gone by

What was once holy water

Tastes like bitter wine

 

Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high

You take the bag of holy water

Now all that's left is bitter wine

 

 

Blame It On The Love Of Rock & Roll

First time I heard the music

I thought it was my own

I could feel it in my heartbeat

I could feel it in my bones

My momma thinks I'm crazy

My dad says I'm insane

I got this boogie woogie fever

That's burning in my veins

 

They tried to take me to a doctor

But it's too late for me

Then they took me to a preacher

That they saw on their TV

Who said that for a small donation

My lost soul would be saved

I said I don't think so preacher

I'll come back another day

 

All I want, is to be a Rolling Stone

They don't understand what we all know

 

Chorus:

It feels so good that it ought to be illegal

I got my vaccination from a phonograf needle

I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old

Blame it on the love of rock & roll

 

My teachers didn't like me

They always tried to put me down

'Cause I wore my hair too long

I played my music way too loud

 

Every little boy wants to learn to play guitar

So he can pick up all the chicks

And be a rock-n-roll star

 

They said it won't last, but they misunderstood

If people think it's bad then I'll be bad for good

 

Chorus

 

Blame it on the love, blame it on the love

Dad don't understand what the little girls know

Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll

 

All I wanted, all I ever needed

My guitar gave to me

Every song I've sung blame it on love

 

Every war I've won blame it on love

Everything I've done blame it on love

Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll

 

Chorus

 

Blame it on the love, blame it on the love

Dad don't understand

what the little girls know

Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll

 

 

Blaze Of Glory

I wake up in the morning, and I raise my weary head

I've got an old coat for a pillow

And the earth was last nights bed

I don't know where I'm going

Only God knows where I've been

I'm a devil on the run, a six gun lover

A candle in the wind, yeah

 

When you're brought into this world

They say you're born in sin

Well at least they gave me something

I didn't have to steal or have to win

Well they tell me that I'm wanted

Yeah, I'm a wanted man

I'm a colt in your stable

I'm what Cain was to Able

Mr catch me if you can

 

I'm going out in a blaze of glory

Take me now but know the truth

I'm going out in a blaze of glory

And Lord I never drew first but I drew first blood

I'm no-one's son, call me young gun

 

You ask about my conscience, and I offer you my soul

You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man

Well I ask if I'll grow old

You ask me if I've known love

And what its like to sing songs in the rain

Well, I've seen love come, I've seen it shot down

I've seen it die in vain

 

Shot down in a blaze of glory

Take me now but know the truth

Cause I'm going down in blazy of glory

Lord I never drew first but I drew first blood

I'm the devils son, call me young gun

 

Each night I go to bed, I pray the Lord my soul to keep

No I aint looking for forgiveness

But before I'm six foot deep

Lord, I gotta ask a favour

And I hope you'll understand

Cause I've lived life to the fullest

Let this boy die like a man

Staring down a bullet, let me make my final stand

 

Shot down in a blaze of glory

Take me now, but know the truth

I'm going out in a blaze of glory

Lord I never drew first but I drew first blood

And I'm no-ones son, call me young gun

I'm a young gun

Young gun, young gun...

 

 

Blood On Blood

I can still remember

When I was just a kid

When friends were friends forever

And what you said was what you did

 

Well, it was me and Daddy and Bobby

We cut each other's hands

And held tight to a promise

Only brothers understand

 

But we were so young (so young)

One for all and all for one (for one)

Just as sure as the river's gonna run

 

Blood on blood

One on one

We'd still be standing

When all was said and done

Blood on blood

One on one

And I'll be here for you

Till Kingdom come

Blood on blood

 

Well, Bobby was our hero

Cause he hed a fake I.D.

I got busted stealing cigarettes

And he took the rap for me

 

Danny knew this white trash girl

We each threw in a ten

She took us to this cheap motel

And turned us into men

 

We were so young (so young)

One for all and all for one (for one)

Just as sure as the river's gonna run

 

Blood on blood

One on one

We'd still be standing

When all is said and done

Blood on blood

One on one

And I'll be here for you

Till Kingdom come

Blood on blood

 

Solo

 

Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer

Danny, he's a medicin man

And me, I'm just the singer

In a long haired rock'n'roll band

 

Through the years and miles between us

It's been a long and lonely ride

But if I got a call in the dead of the night

I'd be right by your side

 

Blood on blood, blood on blood

 

Blood on blood

One on one

We'd still be standing

When all is said and done

Blood on blood

One on one

And I'll be here for you

Till Kingdom come

Blood on blood

 

Blood on blood

 

 

Bobby's Girl

I give you my word, I fill you with promises,

I give you anything you want, I told you we could be more than friends.

You and me baby, live for the day and the dark of the night,

Anxious for tomorrow, everything gonna be alright.

 

Baby it doesn't matter what they say,

When they say, she's Bobby's girl, Jonny, you're playin' with dynamite.

She's Bobby's girl, close the door baby, it'll be alright

 

When I hear you on the telephone,

My body trembles and my blood runs hot.

You're so much more than a girl, you bring me up when I'm not.

You and me baby, on a magic carpet ride,

We live for tomorrow, everything gonna be alright.

 

It don't matter what they say,

when they say, she's Bobby's girl, Jonny, you're playin' with dynamite.

She's Bobby's girl, close the door baby, it'll be alright.

Come on, let's go.

 

When they say, she's Bobby's girl, Jonny, you're playin with dynamite.

She's Bobby's girl, come with me beby, it'll be alright.

She's Bobby's girl,

She's Bobby's girl,

She's Bobby's girl,

She's Bobby's girl.

 

Borderline

You call every hour, but there's nothing to say

So talk to me now, before it's too late

Oh they say it couldn't happen, but I saw your picture breathe

That fifty dollar doctor said your love is a disease

 

I'm alright, I'm okay

Still I don't know how, and I don't know why

But the talk turns to shop, and so we stand on the edge of goodbye

Is this the end of the beginning, or beginning of an end

Are you friend or the enemy, or enemy or the friend

 

I walk the borderline

Between day and the night, wrong and the right

Borderline

The voices they scream from inside of me

On the borderline

I walk the borderline

 

I hear talk on the streets, I hear rumors of you

The people I meet say, that the lies are all true

And I wake up in a cold sweat, find you lying fast asleep

Is my dream a reality, reality a dream

 

I've crossed the borderline

between day and the night, wrong and the right

Borderline

The voices they scream from inside of me

On the borderline

I walk the borderline

 

I walk the borderline

between day and the night, wrong and the right

Borderline

The voices they scream from inside of me

On the borderline

I walk the borderline

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

 

Born To Be My Baby

Rainy night and the worked all day

We both got jobs caus there's bills to play

We got something they can't take away

Our love, our lives

 

Close the door, leave the cold outside

I don't need nothing when I'm by your side

We got something that'll never die

Our dreams, our pride

 

My heart beats like a drum (all night)

Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)

And I'll never let go cause

There's something I know deep inside

 

You were born to be my baby

And baby, I was made to be your man

 

We got something to believe in

Even if we don't know where we stand

Only God would know the reasons

But I bet he must have had a plan

Cause you were born to be my baby

And baby, I was made to be your man

 

Light a candle, blow the world away

Table for two on a TV tray

It ain't fancy, baby that's OK

Our time, our way

 

So hold me close better hand on tight

Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride

We're two kids hitching down the road of life

Our world, our flight

 

If we stand side by side (all night)

There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)

And I'll know that you'll be live

In my heart till the day I die

 

Cause you were born to be my baby

And baby, I was made to be your man

 

We got something to believe in

Even if we don't know where we stand

Only God would know the reasons

But I bet he must have had a plan

Cause you were born to be my baby

And baby, I was made to be your man

 

Solo

 

My heart beats like a drum (all night)

Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright)

And I'll never let go cause

There's something I know deep inside

 

Cause you were born to be my baby

And baby, I was made to be your man

 

We got something to believe in

Even if we don't know where we stand

Only God would know the reasons

But I bet he must have had a plan

 

Cause you were born to be my baby

And baby, I was made to be your man

 

You were born to be my baby

And baby, I was made to be your man

 

 

Bounce

I've been knocked down

So many times

Counted out, 6, 7, 8, 9

Written off like some bad deal

I know no fear

Still standin' tall

 

You can call it Karma, call it luck

Me I just don't give a f-f-f-f

 

Bounce, Bounce

Nothins' gonna keep me down

Bounce, Bounce

Breakout

This time girl I've had enough

You're too hot to handle with kid gloves

It's too late I hear a knock on the door

The game's over baby I can't take

It no more

 

Chorus:

Breakout, Breakout

Take these chains from me

You held my heart for ransom

Baby, set it free

Breakout, Breakout

Your lies can't hide what I see

I'm better off on my own

 

Promises made me in the heat of the night (Whoa-oh-oh)

Those words were broken under bedroom lights (Whoa-oh)

Your lips they burn your body calls my name (Whoa-oh)

I can feel the fire but it's all in vain (Whoa-oh)

 

Chorus

 

You say we'll meet around midnight

You're gonna make me feel oh so right

I'm saying oh no not tonight

You gotta let me go

 

Chorus

 

You say we'll meet around midnight

You're gonna make me feel oh so right

I'm saying oh no not tonight

You gotta let me go

 

Burning For Love

I've been lied to, you been cheated

I've been cried to, you been mistreated

I've been watching you, you want action

You need love and I need satisfaction

 

Chorus:

I'm burning for love

Filled with desire

I can't stand the heat

My heart's on fire

I can't get enough

It's down to the wire

Making my move, I'm looking for you

I'm burning for love

You're the victim it's in your eyes

I'm the suspect ond love's the crime

Tensions mounting bodies shaking

I can't take the anticipation

 

Chorus

 

Now that I got you in my sight

Can't take another sleepless night

Oh, no, no

You can run but you can't hide

You're the only one I need

To feel the fire inside

 

Chorus

 

 

Cama De Rosas

Solo y tan triste, como un viejo piano,

Tarde ya sin saber a donde despierto sin rumbo

Porque un litro de vodka he bebido a ayer

Y una rubia en mi cama siempre me espera tal vez,

Pesadillas de cine que te hacen morir sin nacer.

 

La manana es tan gris como esos besos de nadie,

La cancion al reves sin cabeza ni pies

Me recuerda

Cuando hablamos por fin de luchar y vivir,

Delamor que tu sientos por mi

La vervad es,

Yo no soy nadie sin ti

 

Quiero tener tu Amor entre vino y rosas

y olividar por fin el dolor de ayer

Cerca de ti, ser tu nombre, ser tu sombra,

Tener tu amor, en tu cama de rosas

 

Aunque quiero correr,

De casa nunca me alejo

El amor de verdad no se puede lograr con dinero

Pues tan lejos estas hacia el norte el sur,

Intento sonarte entre la multitud,

Mis ojos cerrar y decirte,

Solo tu amor es la luz

 

Quiero tener tu Amor entre vino y rosas

y olividar por fin el dolor de ayer

Cerca de ti, ser tu nombre, ser tu sombra,

Tener tu amor, en tu cama de rosas

 

Miro al mundo girar

Hacia un futuro desierto,

Y mi amante me pide

Que sea su payaso otra vez,

Yo le digo no

Si tengo tu amor no estoy solo,

Ella es soledad y tu

La verdad y la fe

 

Quiero tener tu Amor entre vino y rosas

y olividar por fin el dolor de ayer

Cerca de ti, ser tu nombre, ser tu sombra,

Tener tu amor

 

Quiero tener tu Amor entre vino y rosas

y olividar por fin el dolor de ayer

Cerca de ti, ser tu nombre, ser tu sombra,

Tener tu amor, en tu cama de rosas

 

 

Captain Crash And The Beauty Queen From Mars

Dressed up for a big date

Like Halloween day but it was Fourth of July now

A car crash with a suitcase and a painted face

She was one of a kind

She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella

And roller skates in bed

 

He rides the Greyhound from his hometown

When he comes around 'cause they don't let him drive now

Mixed up as a milkshake

But make no mistake

They're shooting for the stars

 

Chorus

You and me

We're invincible together

We can be oh so tragical, whatever

Dressed up just like Ziggy but he couldn't play guitar

Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars

 

Share a toothpick, trading lipstick

Watching traffic for days at the diner

Holding hands, making big plans

Playing Superman, he was wearing eyeliner

Another local legend and his longtime lucky charm

 

Repeat chorus

 

They're drunk on love as you can get

Getting high on lust and cigarettes

Living life with no regrets

At least they're gonna try to fly

 

Chorus

You and me

We're invincible together

We can be oh so tragical, whatever

We're Sid and Nancy

Fred and Ginger

Clyde and Bonnie

Liz and Richard

Kurt and Courtney

Bacall and Bogie

Joltin' Joe and Ms. Monroe

Here's Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars

Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars

 

 

Cats In The Cradle

My child arrived just the other day

Came to the world in the usual way

But there were planes to catch, bills to pay

He learned to walk while I was away

He was talking before I knew it

And as he grew, he said : "I'm gonna be like you, dad. You know, I'm gonna be like you."

 

Chorus:

 

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

The little boy blue and the man on the moon

"When you coming home?" - " Son, I don´t know when...

We'll get together then...

You know we'll have a good time then!"

 

Well, my son turned ten just the other day

He said : "Thanks for the ball, dad! Come on, let´s play.

Could you teach me to throw?"

I said : "Not today.

I've got a lot to do."

He said : "That´s okay."

And he walked away, and he smiled and he said, : "You know, I'm gonna be like him, yeah. You know, I'm gonna be like him."

 

Chorus

 

Well, he came from college just the other day

So much like a man I just had to say :

"I'm proud of you. Can you sit for a while?"

He shook his head and he said with a smile :

"What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys. See you later, can I have them please?"

 

Chorus

 

Well, I've long since retired, my son has moved away

I called him up just the other day :

"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."

He said: "I'd love to dad, if I can find the time.

You see, my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu...

But it was sure nice talking to you, dad. It's been sure nice talking to you."

And as he hung up the phone, it occurred to me -

He'd grown up just like me. Yeah, my boy was just like me.

 

Chorus (2x)

 

 

Come Back

Now that you're gone, I can see what

Was going on and how you lied

When you'd said you'd never love again

 

Friends telephone and they say

You weren't out alone last night

Can't you see that this broken heart

Is killing me

 

Another night is falling

And now my heart is calling you back to me

 

Chorus:

Come back cause I need your love

Come back got to have your love

Come back bring your loving back to me

Come back cause it's been so long

Come back, and my love's still strong

Come back bring your loving back to me

You play with words play with love

It's just your silly way

I'm a fool cause I need you by my side again

 

Now it's too late you walk by

With another man

And I stand alone

Cause I know that you're not coming home

 

Another night is falling

And now my heart is calling you back to me

 

Chorus

 

Another night is falling

And now my heart is calling you back to me

 

Chorus

 

Como Yo Nadie Te Ha Amado

Yo no vi las flores marchitar

Ni ese frio en tus ojos al mirar

No, no vi la realidad

Me ibas a dejar

 

Dicen que la vida baby, no es como la ves

Para aprender hay que caer

Para ganar hay que perder

lo di todo por ti

Llore y llore y jure que no iba a perderte

Trate y trate de negar este amor tantas veces

 

Si mis lagrimas fueron en vano

Si al final yo te ame demasiado

Como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado

 

Cada hora una eternidad,

Cada amanecer un comenzar,

Ilusiones nada mas

que facil fue soniar

tantas noches de intimidad

Parecian no acabar

Nos dejamos desafiar

Y hoy nada es igual

 

Se que en verdad el amor al final

Siempre duele

No lo pude salvar y hoy

Voy a pagarlo con creces, baby

 

Si mis lagrimas fueron en vano

Si al final yo te ame demasiado

Como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado

Esta vez la pasion ha ganado

Y por eso sigo esperando

Como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado

 

Solo

 

Llore y llore y jure que no iba a perderte

Trate y trate de negar este amor tantas veces

 

Si mis lagrimas fueron en vano

Si al final yo te ame demasiado

Como yo, como yo nadie te ha amado

Esta vez la pasion ha ganado

Y por eso sigo esperando

Como yo, como yo, nadie te ha amado

Como yo, como yo, nadie te ha amado

Como yo, como yo, nadie te ha amado

 

 

Complicated

Take a look around, this is what I see

Is there anybody else that feels like me, yeah

You sweat, you sweat, you bleed, you bleed

What you get ain't what you see

Up is down and black is white to me

 

I'm complicated, I get frustrated

Right or wrong, love or hate it

I'm complicated, you can't sedate it

I heard that song but I won't play it

It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way

Momma, keep on praying ‘cause I ain't changin'

I'm complicated, yeah

I'm complicated, yeah

 

I'm smart enough to know what I don't know

I'm fool enough to stay when I should go

You work, you work, you cry, you cry

You watch your whole life pass you by

Sometimes you've got to close your eyes to see

 

I'm complicated, I get frustrated

Right or wrong, love or hate it

I'm complicated, you can't sedate it

Heard that song but I won't play it

It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way

Momma, keep on praying ‘cause I ain't changin'

I'm complicated, yeah

I'm complicated, yeah

 

Is there anybody out there?

Just like everybody out there

Just one somebody out there, Just like me

 

I'm complicated, I get frustrated

Right or wrong, love or hate it

I'm complicated, you can't sedate it

I heard that song but I won't play it

It's alright, it's okay, you wouldn't want me any other way

Momma, keep on praying, ‘cause I ain't changin'

I'm complicated, I get frustrated

Right or wrong, love or hate it

I'm complicated, you can't sedate it

Heard that song but I won't play it

 

Is there anybody out there?

Just like everybody out there

Just one somebody out there

Just like me

Is there anybody out there

Just like everybody out there

Just one somebody out there

Just like me

I'm complicated

 

 

Crazy Love

The city sounds like a symphony

A cabbie screams obscenities

The horns are honking jazz in the night

The street is lit like a Christmas tree

This place its my amphetamine

She junks me but its alright

In her summer dress she parts the sea

Her hair wrapped up in rosary beads

Everybody else is gone but her and me

 

Here she comes

Its crazy love

Here it comes again,

That crazy thing called love

Here she comes

Its crazy love

Here it comes again

 

Sittin on my stoop I lit one up

Hit the ashes in my coffe cup

And watch the world passin' me by

Throw a coat of paint on this rusty heart

Ain't it funny how life immitates art?

Saint Valentine he's got bloody knees tonight

 

But when she's walkin' down the street

The sidewalks there to kiss her feet

 

Here she comes

Its crazy love

Here it comes again,

That crazy thing called love

Here she comes

Its crazy love

Here it comes again

 

She needs me, pleads me

And wraps me in her loving charm

She'll tease me, squeeze me

But I'm the man when I'm in her arms

 

Now the angels sing a melody

They wrote for her explicitly

And no one hears but her and me

 

Now wait a minute

Wait, I can't believe my eyes

Who's that comin' round the corner?

Oh she's lookin' fine ain't she?

Get out the way!

No, no, no, no, no get out the way!

Ohh look at those high heel sneakers

 

Here she comes

Its crazy love

Here it comes again,

That crazy thing called love

Here it comes

That crazy love

Here she comes again

That crazy thing called love

Here she comes

Its crazy love

Here it comes again

That crazy thing called love

Here it comes

That crazy love

Here she comes again

That crazy thing called love

Here she comes

 

 

Damned

Lying here beside you

In someone else's bed

Knowing what we're doing's wrong

But better left unsaid

Your breathing sounds like screaming, it's all that I can stand

His ring is on your finger, but my heart is in your hands

 

Damned if you love me - Damned if you don't

It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go

Damned if you don't need me, Damned if you do

Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standing in these shoes

Damned, Damned

 

A door slams like a shotgun, you jump up to your feet

It's just the wind blowing through the secrets that we keep

Made me want to want you, God knows I need to need you

By the time this love is over, I'll be sleeping on the streets

 

Damned if you love me - Damned if you don't

It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go

Damned if you don't need me, Damned if you do

Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standing in these shoes

 

Why won't you talk to me? Cause I'm too blind to see

Why won't you look at me? Cause I'm afraid to breathe

What do you want from me? All that I can stand

The lies are on my tongue and I can't turn back I know

My soul is Damned

 

Don't worry

I ain't gonna call you or hear you say my name

And if you see me on the streets, don't wave just walk away

Our lives are getting twisted, let's keep our stories straight

The more that I resist it, my temptation turns to fate

 

Damned if you love me - Damned if you don't

It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go

Damned if you don't need me, Damned if you do

Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standing in these shoes

Damned, yeah Damned

 

Damned if you love me - Damned if you don't

It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go

Damned if you don't need me, Damned if you do

Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standing in these shoes

Damned, Damned

Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore

I walk down the street, people passing me by

They look you up and down but they don't look you in the eye

 

I'm just another stranger in my own hometown

Looking for a angel but heaven can't be found

 

I said hey are you lonely tonight

Hey I'm gonna make it

But that don't make it right

 

Does anybody really fall in love anymore

Does anybody really give their heart to somebody

Does anybody really have opened the door

I know, I know, you gotta love somebody

I know, I know, I've got to find somebody to love

 

There's a sad face in the mirror and I'm sad to say it's me

Like a ghost up in the attic only love can set you free

 

I've been running round in circles on this roller coaster ride

There's a lonely world around us, we get sucked in by the tide

 

I said hey, love ain't a crime

So why is everybody so afraid to cross the line

 

Does anybody really fall in love anymore

Does anybody really give their heart to somebody

Does anybody really have opened the door

I know, I know, you gotta love somebody

I know, I know, I've got to find somebody to love

 

I said hey, I'll be alright

Cause I know that someone somewhere's gonna

Say these words tonight

 

Does anybody really fall in love anymore

Does anybody really give their heart to somebody

Does anybody really have opened the door

I know, I know, you gotta love somebody

I know, I know, I've got to find somebody to love

 

 

Don't Do That To Me

Well if I told you once I've told you a thousand times,

That can't go around messin' with people's minds.

But you like thinkin' that you'll get by,

You're breakin' hearts one by one in a line.

 

Well you're drivin' me crazy, and I can't go on,

Makin' love to a woman that's been playin' with me all the long.

 

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore.

 

Count the times you really made me a fool,

I guess we've both got a different set of rules.

You tried, thinkin' that I'd breakdown,

I'm not sure I need you hangin' around.

 

Cause you're drivin' me crazy, I just can't go on,

Makin' love to a woman that's been playin' with me all the long.

 

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore.

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me baby.

 

I ain't your boy to kick around anymore,

I'm not a movie baby that's for sure.

No reason left for you to pretend,

I told you before and I'll tell you again.

 

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore,

Don't do that to me anymore.

 

 

Don't Keep Me Wonderin'

When I come home, it's late, I feel so all alone.

What was my mistake, baby, oh did you care at all?

Well if it's just a change in you, I might just,

But if you're true give me a sign of your trust,

If I am supposed to be true to you.

 

Don't keep me wonderin', do I still have your love.

Don't keep me wonderin', if you've given up.

 

When I come to bed, you're there, but I feel so all alone.

What can I do, short of sleepin' on the floor.

It might be so girl but I ain't dumb,

The question arises, am I the only one?

And am I supposed to be in love with you.

 

Don't keep me wonderin', do I still have your love.

Don't keep me wonderin', have you given up.

Don't you keep me baby.

 

I might be slow girl, I'm not dumb,

The question arises, am I the only one?

And am I supposed to be in love with you.

 

Don't keep me wonderin', do I still have your love.

Don't keep me wonderin', have you given up.

Don't keep me wonderin', do I still have your love.

Don't keep me wonderin', have you given up.

Don't you keep me baby.

Don't Leave Me Tonight

If I had to I would lie for you,

And baby I would cry, I'd cry for you.

Don't You Believe Him

I know it been a long time, since I called you last,

Remember all those dreams that we had, time went by so damn fast.

Said I've had other girls, I'm beggin' for your forgivness,

But the summers fly, it's nothin' new.

What's this little boy to do to get them back.

 

It broke my heart when you said good bye, bye, bye.

You believed them when they told you a lie.

Without your love baby I'm gonna die.

 

Don't you believe him (don't you believe him),

He's gonna build you up with lies.

Don't you believe him darlin', (don't you believe him),

He's gone too far this time.

 

Since you left me baby, since you gone and stole my heart,

I remember the very night, I broke down and fell apart.

Girl you don't remember, when I appeared to be,

Baby, baby don't you know, you're the biggest part of me.

 

It broke my heart when you said good bye, bye, bye.

You believed them when they told you a lie.

Without your love baby I'm gonna die.

 

Don't you believe him (don't you believe him),

He's gonna build you up with lies.

Don't you believe him darlin', (don't you believe him),

He's gone too far this time.

 

It broke my heart when you said good bye, bye, bye.

You believed them when they told you a lie.

Without your love baby I'm gonna die.

 

Don't you believe him (don't you believe him),

He's gonna build you up with lies.

Don't you believe him darlin', (don't you believe him),

He's gone too far this time.

 

Don't you believe him, don't you believe him.

Don't you believe him, don't you believe him.

 

 

Dry County

Across the border they turn

Water into wine

Some say it's the devil's blood

They're squeezing from the vine

Some say it's a saviour

In these hard and desperate times

For me it helps me to forget

That we're just born to die

 

I came here like so many did

To find the better life

To find my piece of easy street

To finally be alive

And I know nothing good comes easy

And all good things take some time

I made my bed I'll lie in it

To die in it's the crime

 

You can't help but prosper

Where the streets are paved with gold

They say the oil wells ran deeper here

than anybody's known

I packed up on my wife and kid

And left them back at home

 

Now there's nothing in this paydirt

The ghosts are all I know

Now the oil's gone

The money's gone

And the jobs are gone

Still we're hangin' on

 

Down in dry county

They're swimming in the sand

Praying for some holy water

To wash the sins from off our hand

Here in dry county

The promise has run dry

Where nobody cries

And no one's getting out of here alive

 

In the blessed name of Jesus

I heard a preacher say

That we are God's children

And He'd be back someday

And I hoped that he knew

Something as he drank his cup of wine

I didn't have too good of a feeling

As I head out to the night

 

I cursed the sky to open

I begged the clouds for rain

I prayed to God for water

For this burning in my veins

It was like my soul's on fire

And I had to watch the flames

All my dreams went up in ashes

And my future blew away

 

Now the oil's gone

And the money's gone

And the jobs are gone

Still we're hangin' on

 

Down in dry county

They're swimming in the sand

Praying for some holy water

To wash the sins from off our hand

Here in dry county

The promise has run dry

Where nobody cries

And no one's getting out of here alive

 

Men spend their whole lives

Waiting praying for their big reward

But it seems sometimes

The payoff leaves you feeling

Like a dirty whore

If I could choose the way I'll die

Make it by the gun or knife

'Cause the other way there's too much pain

Night after night after night

 

Down in dry county

They're swimming in the sand

Praying for some holy water

To wash the sins from off our hand

Here in dry county

The promise has run dry

Where nobody cries

And no one's getting out of here alive

 

 

Edge Of A Broken Heart

And there I stood, just like a soldier

I was tough, until I saw her

I said Hello, but she just turned away

 

Hey Romeo, watcha doin' with my girl,

Who are you using now, well I turn and walk away (Turn and walk away)

 

I'm gonna please her, now you can believe it

I'll be there to catch her when she falls

 

Oooo, here I am (On the edge of a broken heart)

I'm a man (On the edge of a broken heart)

Here we stand (On the edge of a broken heart)

So run if you can 'cause you know

I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

 

I'm on the outside, looking inside

You're with him, who's on the wrong side now

Do you still think of me

 

I've tried to call, but no one answers

Two silhouettes, a private dancer

Lights go dim, as the music starts to fade away (Turn and walk away)

 

I'm the one who needs you, now you can believe it

I'll be there to catch you when you fall

 

Ooo you better believe I'm the man (On the edge of a broken heart)

Here I am (On the edge of a broken heart)

And we stand (On the edge of a broken heart)

So run if you can 'cause you know

I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

 

(solo)

 

Ooohh

And when I hold out my hands I'll be reaching for you

I give it all that I've got, that's all I can do

When you're waiting for love

 

I'll be waiting for you (On the edge of a broken heart)

Only for you (On the edge of a broken heart)

Oh baby for you (On the edge of a broken heart)

So run if you can, you know

I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)

I'm on the edge (Of a broken, broken, broken, broken, broken, broken, broken)

 

 

Everybody's Broken

Welcome to the party

Come on in and disappear

You're feeling like stranger

But all your friends are here

Little lines and cracks

Around your eyes and mouth

Something's trying to get in

Something's trying to get out

 

It's okay to be a little broken

Everybody's broken in this life

It's okay to feel a little broken

Everybody's broken

You’re alright, it’s alright

It’s just life

 

Step into the deep end

Make yourself at home

When you wonder why your breathing

Know you’re not alone

It’s so hard to believe

What’s easier to doubt

You're trying to hold in

What you’re dying to scream out

 

It's okay to be a little broken

Everybody's broken in this life

It's okay to feel a little broken

Everybody's broken

You’re alright, it’s alright

It’s just life

 

Take a look around

Tell me what you see

Is who you think you are

Who you want to be

 

It's okay to be a little broken

Everybody's broken in this life

It's okay to feel a little broken

Everybody's broken

You’re alright

Keep on going

Eyes wide open

Everybody's broken

Everybody's broken

Everybody's broken

Everybody's broken

Everybody's broken

Everybody's broken

Everyday

I used to be the kind of guy

Who'd never let you look inside

I'd smile when I was crying

I had nothing but a life to loose

Thought I had a lot to proof

In my life, there's no denying

 

Goodbye to all my yesterdays

Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way

 

I've had enough of cryin'

Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'

Hear me when I say

Gonna live my life everyday

I'm gonna touch the sky

And I spread these wings and fly

I ain't here to play

I'm gonna live my life everyday

 

Strange, everybody's feeling strange

Never gonna be the same

Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning

Life, learning how to live my life

Learning how to pick my fights

Take my shots while I'm still burning

 

Goodbye to all those rainy nights

Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on

 

I've had enough of cryin'

Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'

Hear me when I say

Gonna live my life everyday

I'm gonna touch the sky

And I spread these wings and fly

I ain't here to play

I'm gonna live my life everyday

 

There ain't nothing gonna get in my way

Everyday

 

Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on

 

I've had enough of cryin'

Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'

Hear me when I say

Gonna live my life everyday

I'm gonna touch the sky

And I spread these wings and fly

I ain't here to play

I'm gonna live my life everyday

 

I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna live my life everyday

I (gonna touch the sky), oh I (spread these wings and fly), oh I

I'm gonna live my life everyday

 

 

Fear

I see you looking over your shoulder

Tell me who do you think's out there

You're reaching for your four leaf clover

But baby there ain't no luck down there

I swear that there's no heart in this city

It's here the slogan reads

"Do your time" everybody's doing

their sentence

It's just there ain't nobody here

Who knows just what's the crime

I watched my father live a lie here

I'd rather die than fade away

I read the rules

And yeah I know them

Still you ain't ever gonna

Make me play the game of

Fear

Fear

Fear

Fear

 

Running with the rats

Through the city

Makes you feel like you're

A partner in crime

Girl once you won't stop to watch

That little girl did

 

Hey baby won't you stop and hear me

Just being here we're

breathing heart attacks

We can run and chase

The setting sun we can run

And we won't ever look back

 

Take my hand I know we'll make it

I'll let nothing slow us down

I know you want to curse

This place but there's only

One thing that's stopping us now

 

Fear fear fear

Of a new thing

Fear fear fear

Of the brass ring

 

You ain't one for taking chances

You work and live and breathe that 9 to 5

Still that's what you call living

That's surviving to me

 

And surviving is living to die in

Fear

 

 

For You

You say that I'm a hopeless romantic

'Cause we've been in love before

But since the first nite I saw you

Things haven't been the same

I didn't know you had a steady guy

Always hangin' around

I want you to know baby anytime

You and to change your plans

 

For you, I would be around

For you, laughin' my life away

For you baby, I would if you let me

 

I saw you last nite at the drive-in

You looked lonely all alone

Your eyes were glued to the picture

Were you wishing you were home

Do you stay up nites like I do

Do you start dialing the telephone

Do you read a book-loves out

On the town holdin' hands

Baby foolin' around

 

For you, I would be around

For you, laughin' my life away

For you baby, I would if you let me

 

Well I want you to know darling

We could be Romeo & Juliet

Baby tonite if we go all the way

Well you and I

You just gotta say, I love you

And then we're out among the stars

 

 

Four letter word

She was waiting alone at the station praying for her train to arrive

Thinking 'bout her destination, her tattered bag had all she had in life

She turned her back on her family, she said goodbye to her friends

She turned her back on a married man when she took off the wedding band

But through her crying she said I don't need this

Through the tears she said it's all a waste

It ain't nothing like it is in the movies

Here a hit is just a slap in the face

Chorus:

And it's no big secret so forget all you heard

'cause love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

For some it's for better, for us it's for worse

Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

Nothing…

This time he said was the last time, last time he said just the same

In your heart you know that they'll be a next time

Your battered bones would have to explain

Now your bruises can ride on religion

Since you swore it was for better or worse

But how many times must you lay down and say

It's something that I deserved

Chorus:

It ain't no big secret so forget all you heard

'cause love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

For some it's a blessing, for some it's a curse

Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

Forget about your rosary beads to take you through your time of need

You'll pray I cross that line

And take it one day at a time

Still you try and make some sense of all the things that he had said

Was there something so wrong to turn eyes so blue

To fiery eyes of red again?

Chorus:

There ain't no big secret so forget all you heard

'cause love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

For some it's for better, for some it's for worse

But love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

There's no big secret so forget all you heard

Cause love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

For some it's a blessing, for some it's a curse

Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word

 

Get Ready

You need someone to make it last

No Romeos who'll love and leave you fast

They fade away

Tonight you're not gonna be alone

Making love on the telephone

Baby, baby if you can hold on

I'm gonna take you all the way tonight

I like'em down and dirty, hold on tight

 

Chorus:

Come on get ready

Come on get ready

You're looking sharp in your dancing shoes

You got the style and you got the moves

Oh you're so hot, girl and on the loose

You're caught up in a danger zone

Just seventeen but you act full grown

The nightlife is turning you on

You want to take me all the way tonight

Take my hand, you can feel the heat

Make you feel alright

 

Chorus

 

Come on

Come on

 

 

Gimme Some Loving Charlene

I don't need a credit card to buy your love

I don't need no Cadillacs to much

You leather gloves

'Cause baby I'm going crazy

take you by the hand

I need your attencion

Not some blank psycho stare

 

You gotta gimme some loving Charlene

Gimme some loving Charlene

 

I knew your mama and she don't like me

'Cause I'm not the type if boy

she wants you to see

But I wanna take you home and go for a ride

'Cause I got the poison - let me inside

 

You gotta gimme some loving Charlene

Gimme some loving Charlene

 

I like your made-up eyes - cause

They glow like fire

I like you moves, 'cause you never tire

And you're familiar with the backseat

Yake your sweet time

You build me up so hot love's a crime

 

You gotta gimme some loving Charlene

Gimme some loving Charlene

 

 

Good Guys Don't Always Wear White

You say you don't like my kind

A better picture in your mind

No it don't matter what I say

I hear ya bitchin' when I walk away

I'll never be what ya want me ta be

You tell me I'm wrong but I disagree

I ain't got no apology

 

Just because I don't looklike you, talk like you, think like you.

Judge and jury, a hangman's nuice;

I see them in your eyes...

 

CHORUS

Good guys don't always wear white

Good Guys don't always wear white

 

You judge a man who don't stand in line

Just because he ain't on your side

You know the man who wears those shoes

If you cut me don't I bleed like you?

Ya know I do

 

I don't know whatcha been told

Can't buy guts with a pot 'o gold

A rich man's poor if he got no soul

 

Rich man, poor man, begger man can

All that $h!t don't mean a thing

Do you know which one's behind those eyes?

It's always a disguise...

 

CHORUS

 

Hey baby...what side you on?

You think you got it all fired out,

Where we belong

Forget all about your dark dressed knight

Day from night,

Wrong from right...

 

CHORUS

 

Don't always wear (repeated)

Don't always wear...

White

 

 

Gotta Have A Reason

Here we stand

caught between the cradle and the grave

In a world that gives you nothing

but your name

With every step you take

you must be brave

Nothing lost is nothing gained

And I know lives are lost

for crowns and kings

We all know love is lost

for lesser things

And the angels here have broken wings

Though I know somewhere a choir sings

 

You gotta have a reason

A reason to believe

A reason just to dream

Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see

A reason to believe

 

A hot-headed hero

here you see I'm just a man

Comes a time, a time to make a stand

So here I am with heart in hand

Don't be afraid to understand

 

You gotta have a reason

One reason to believe

A reason just to dream

Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see

A reason to believe in trust,

I believe in faith

I believe in us

'Til my dying day

You gotta have a reason

You gotta have a reason

If all we've got is you and me

Then what we've got is all we need

 

You gotta have as reason

One reason to believe

A reason just to dream

But sometimes it takes blind eyes to see

One reason

You gotta have a reason

One reason to believe

A reason just to dream

But sometimes it takes blind eyes to see

One reason

Gotta have a reason

Gotta have a reason

One reason to believe

 

 

Growin' Up The Hard Way

Growin' up the hard way, we're growin' up the hard way.

 

She's got a blue tattoo on the back of her hand,

That says I love you, from the boys in the band.

She's been livin' on the run for almost a year,

Her daddy would abuse her, she's been livin' in fear.

 

She's got a diamond in her teeth and a leather beret,

She knows every city street from New York to LA.

Her little girl eyes and her heart's made of stone,

I guess you gotta grow up fast when you're out on your own.

 

Try, to hold your head up high, you live and then you die,

Can someone tell me why?

 

Growin' up the hard way, learnin' how to live with the pain,

The weight of the world on your shoulders, I guess that's just the price

that you pay.

Growin' up the hard way, it's gettin' harder every day,

Learnin' how to live in the fire, praying to God for some rain.

Growin' up the hard way.

 

He was the pride and joy of his family,

He always was the good boy they told him he'd be.

But no one knew the anger that was buildin' up inside,

He was drinking from the bottle, looked older than his years.

 

He stole a rented car off route 35,

And when he gunned it I heard him scream 'Straight to hell I'm gonna

drive'.

Cops came out of nowhere and that truck got in his way,

I'm sorry Mrs Johnson that it had to end this way.

 

Try, to hold your head up high, you live and then you die,

Can someone tell me why?

 

Growin' up the hard way, learning how to live with the pain,

The weight of the world on your shoulders, I guess that's just the price

that you pay.

Growin' up the hard way, it's gettin' harder every day,

Learnin' how to live in the fire, praying to God for some rain.

 

Growin' up the hard way, Growin' up the hard way.

Growin' up the hard way, Growin' up the hard way.

 

Try, to hold your head up high.

Growin' up the hard way, learning how to live with the pain,

The weight of the world on your shoulders, I guess that's just the price

that you pay.

Growin' up the hard way, it's gettin' harder everyday,

Learnin' how to live in the fire, praying to God for some rain.

 

Growin' up the hard way, Growin' up the hard way.

I'm growin' up the hard way, Growin' up the hard way baby.

Growin' up the hard way.

Hardest Part Is The Night

In the heat of the street of the city

A young boy hides the pain

And he walks so tall, trying to hang on

But he knows he's going down again

I know he's going down...

Darkness fades he's the prince of his city

In a place where they all know your name

You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed.

Your just a pawn in a losin' game

You lose at life it ain't no game

Hear their cries

The hardest part is the night

(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)

Stay alive

The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...

All alone in a place where the lonely

They all have to walk through the rain

And they dance on the edge where you only

Only pray that it has to end

That the night ain't no friend

Hear their cries

The hardest part is the night

(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)

Stay alive

The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...

Hear their cries

The hardest part is the night

(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)

Stay alive

The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...

These four walls they could tell you some stories

About lying and dying and fame

There's a price that you pay for the glory

About losing and choosing and pain.

Hear their cries

The hardest part is the night

In the night, hear their cries, in the night

Stay alive

In the night, stay alive, in the night

 

 

Have A Nice Day

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?

Who are you to tell me if it’s black or white?

Mama can you hear me? Try to understand.

Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man.

My daddy lived the lie, it’s just the price that he paid.

Sacrificed his life, just slavin’ away.

 

Ohhh, if there’s one thing I hang on to,

It gets me through the night.

I ain't gonna do what I don’t want to,

I'm gonna live my life.

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,

Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.

When the world gets in my face,

I say, Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day

 

Take a look around you, nothing's what it seems

We’re living in a broken home of hopes and dreams,

Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.

Everybody, pray enough to take a stand,

I knocked on every door, on every dead end street,

Looking for forgiveness,

what’s left to believe?

 

Ohhh, if there’s one thing I hang on to,

It gets me through the night.

I ain't gonna do what I don’t want to,

I'm gonna live my life.

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,

Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.

When the world gets in my face,

I say, Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

 

Ohhh, if there’s one thing I hang on to,

It gets me through the night.

I ain't gonna do what I don’t want to,

I'm gonna live my life.

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,

Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly.

When the world gets in my face,

I say, Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day.

 

When The world keeps trying, to drag me down,

I've gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground.

Well I say, Have A Nice Day.

Have A Nice Day

Have A Nice Day

 

 

Head Over Heels

I've been hell raised on leather,

Five years stood in those black boots.

Had anything any man could have wanted,

All I ever wanted was you.

 

Baby I've done whatever I wanted,

I stole the lights and I've had command,

Of the world and of the angels.

They're both sold on a single hand.

 

And I, I'm head over heels for you,

And I have to say that it's true,

I'm head over heels for you.

 

I know you've seen all those romantic movies,

How the hero comes to take you away.

Then you wake up and you're all alone,

Now that's all gonna change today.

 

Remember bein' all alone,

Remember cryin' on a rainy day.

It don't have to be that bad now,

It doesn't have to be that way.

 

And I know what it's like baby to fall in love,

Because I've fallen in love with you.

It's true, yeah it's true.

 

And I, I'm head over heels for you,

And I have to say that it's true,

I'm head over heels for you.

 

And I know what it's like baby to fall in love,

Because I've fallen in love with you.

It's true, yeah it's true.

 

And I, I'm head over heels for you, (I'm head over heels)

And I have to say that it's true, (I'm head over heels)

I'm head over heels for you. (I'm head over heels)

 

 

Heartbreak Eyes

So now you want to change sides, you say the lesson's been learned,

I can tell by your voice, baby just got burned.

I can see in your eyes, I can read it so well,

You're a master in disguise but it ain't hard to tell.

 

Anyone that's been through it before knows that look,

I can read your mind like a story book,

And there's no happy ending to this life.

 

Cause I can see the heartbreak in your eyes,

I can feel the pain that you cry, deep inside of those heartbreak eyes.

I hear you cry through the night, callin' over and over again.

 

The voices came and took advantage, now you don't wanna play,

When the word got around he gave your secrets away.

Now it's too late to cry you know the damage is done,

Dry your tears say goodbye you know he wasn't the one.

 

All your life you been livin' out of love,

Now you've folded your cards when push came to shove.

You're just another number, just a victim of love's lies.

 

I can see the heartbreak in your eyes,

I can feel the pain that you cry, deep inside of those heartbreak eyes.

You hear me cay through the night, callin' over and over again.

 

Over and over again, you hear me cry through the night,

Callin' over and over...

 

I can see the heartbreak in your eyes,

I can feel the pain that you cry, deep inside of your heartbreak eyes.

You hear them cry through the night, callin' over and over, those heartbreak eyes.

I can feel the pain that you hide deep inside, deep inside of those heartbreak eyes.

You hear the cries through the night, callin' over and over those heartbreak eyes.

I can feel the hurt inside, your heartbreak eyes,

I can hear the cries at night, over and over again.

 

 

Hearts Breaking Even

It's a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight

I can't get you off my mind - God knows I've tried

Did I throw away the best part of my life, when I cut you off

I cut myself with the same damn knife

Hide my tears in the pouring rain, had my share of hurt and pain

Don't say my name, run away, cause it's all in vain

 

My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try

Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, Hell I almost died

Both got our reasons, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye

It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

 

It's been a long, long, long, long, long time

Since I've had your love here in my hands

We didn't understand it, we couldn't understand it

But, nothing's fair in love and hate

You lay it all down and walk away, before it's too late

Danced all night as the music played

The sheets got tangled in the mess we made

There in the stains, we remain

No one left to blame

 

My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try

Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, Hell I almost died

Both got our reasons, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye

It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

 

Go on, get on with your life, yeah and I'll get on with mine

Broken hearts can't call the cops, yeah it's the perfect crime

Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning

I'm burning alive

I'm paying the price again

But I'll see the light again

 

My hearts breaking even, now there's no use we even try

Hey I cried, Yeah I lied, Hell I almost died

Both got our reasons, let's just fold the cards and say good-bye

It's all right, just two hearts breaking even tonight

Hey God

Hey God, I'm just a little man, I gotta wife and family

I almost lost my house, I bought into the dream

We're barely holdin' on, when I'm in way too deep

We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets

 

She's a workin' single mom, like a saint she don't complain

She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame

Her son just got convicted, he blew some cop away

She did her best to raise him but the world got in the way

 

Hey God - tell me what the hell is goin' on, it seems like all the good $h!ts gone

It keeps on getting harder hanging on

But hey hey hey hey God, theres nights you know I wanna scream

These days you're even harder to believe

I know how busy you must be, but hey hey hey hey God ...

Do you ever think about me?

 

Born into the ghetto in 1991, just a happy child playing beneath the summer sun

A vacant lots his playground, by 12 he's got a gun

The odds are bet against him, junior don't make 21

 

Hey God - tell me what the hell is goin' on, it seems like all the good $h!ts gone

It keeps on getting harder hanging on

But hey hey hey hey God, theres nights you know I wanna scream

These days you're even harder to believe

I know how busy you must be, but hey hey hey hey God ...

Do you ever think about me?

 

I'd get down on my knees, I'm gonna try this thing your way

I seen a dying man too proud to beg, spit on his own grave

Was he too gone to save? Or did you even know his name?

Are you the one to blame, I got something to say

 

Hey God - tell me what the hell is goin' on, it seems like all the good $h!ts gone

It keeps on getting harder hanging on

But hey hey hey hey God, theres nights you know I wanna scream

These days you're even harder to believe

I know how busy you must be, but hey hey hey hey God ...

Do you ever think about me?

 

Do you ever think about me? Hey god, hey god

Think about me

Do you ever think about me? Hey god, hey god

Think about me

 

 

Hollywood Dreams

My bed must be a dreamer, everything it sees

Runs through my mind, of given memories

Were they just put together, they seemed so long ago

Why can't you leave me, why'd you have to go

 

We're used to chasing rainbows, but they/n are hard to find

My baby used to love me, they've left it all behind

Now I've become a prisoner, like locked behind four walls

You see, that life ain't easy, but I got no life to love

Stop maybe dream, they know who I am

I've been there to the top, a lonely man

 

Those hot lights, of Hollywood dreams

They're bringing back, the love that you gave

To me, bad lines, and stormy lines

I lost you chasing those Hollywood Dreams

 

This night out for the cameras, the story you ever say

She's getting/giving my emotions, a thousand miles away

They chase me to the streets, calling out my name

I'm calling out to you, this life is driving me insane

Climbing up those stairs, knocking on the door

She don't recognize me or want me anymore

 

Those hot lights, of Hollywood dreams

They're bringing back, the love that you gave

To me, head lines, and stormy lines

I lost you chasing those Hollywood Dreams

 

Those hot lights, of Hollywood dreams

They're bringing back, the love that you gave

To me, head lines, and stormy lines

I lost you chasing those Hollywood Hot lights, of Hollywood dreams

They're bringing back, the love that you gave

To me, head lines, and stormy lines

I lost you chasing those Hollywood hot lights

 

Those hot lights can't bring back the love to me

Chasing those Hollywood

 

 

Homebound Train

When I was just a boy

The devil took my hand

Took me from my home

He made me a man

So, don't talk to me about sympathy now

Cause you can't dance if you

Take a chance on your rosary

 

I'm going down, down, down, down, down

On the homebound train

 

It's been a millions years

That I been gone

I been everywhere, now I'm heading home

Been a lot of girls, but

There's a woman I know

Said don't take no plane

Better take a train

Cause I like it real slow

 

All the way back home

On the homebound train

I'm going down, down, down, down, down

On the homebound train

 

Solo

 

I'm on my way

I'm heading home

To be with my baby

Where I belong

Coming down the tracks now

See, I done my time

I'm going back now

To that home of mine

Well, here I come baby

 

Here I come baby

Here I come baby

 

All the way back home

On that homebound train

I'm going down, down, down, down, down

On that homebound train

Everywhere around the world

Everybody's waiting for someday

Calling out around the world

Maybe someday might be tonight

 

Hook me up

I'm reaching out for you, come on

Hook me up

I know you can do it, come on

Take me on

 

Are you there?

Your fears and all your wildest dreams

Is waiting just the same way we are

Reaching out around the world

Will someone somewhere throw me a line?

 

Hook me up

I'm reaching out for you, come on

Hook me up

I know you can do it, come on

Take me on

 

Save me, save me, save me, save me

I Am

How you spend your minutes are what matters

All tomorrows come from yesterdays

When you're feeling broken, bruised and sometimes shattered

Blow out the candles on the cake

Like everything's a big mistake

 

It seems you always wait for life to happen

And your last buck can't buy a lucky break

If all we've got is us then life's worth living

And if you're in, you know I'm in

I'm ready and I'm willing

 

I am

When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you

No one's there to understand

I am

I'll be there to be that someone

When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

I am

 

We're just who we are, there's no pretending

It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin

Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending

And if you're in you know I'm in

I'm ready and I'm willing

 

Chorus: I am

When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you

No one's there to understand

I am

I'll be there to be that someone

When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

I am

 

I ain't got no halo hanging over my head

I ain't gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you

I am, I am

 

Chorus: I am

When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you

No one's there to understand

I am

I'll be there to be that someone

When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

I am

When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you

No one's there to understand

I am

I'll be there to be that someone

When you think that no one is there to hold your hand

I am

I am

I am

 

I Believe

All I know is what I've been sold

You can read my life like a fortune told

I've seen the dream, there's no land of Oz

But I got my brain and I got a heart

And courage built I won't let go

What we need right now is ....soul

 

I can't do this, you can't do that

They feed us lines but I won't act

And all good things will come to pass

But the truth is all you have to have

And would you lie for it?

(Do you) cry for it?

(Would you) die for it?

Would you

 

Chorus:

I believe, I believe

With every breath that I breathe

You and me can turn a whisper to a scream

I believe, I believe

 

You know what you came here for

You'll pay the cost,

like it's your cross to bear

Are we the ones that put it there

Would you scheme for it

scream for it, bleed for it

Would you

 

I belive, I believe

Believe we're still worth

The fight you'll see

There's no hope for this world tonight

I believe, I believe

 

Don't look up on your movie screens

In record stores or magazines

Close your eyes and you will see

That you are all you really need

 

I believe, I believe

With every breath that I breathe

You and me can turn a

whisper to a scream

I believe, I believe

 

 

I Could Make A Living Out Of Loving You

If there's something that needs fixing

I'm the man to see

Look me up, I'm listed

Just check under "B"

If you're ever on the spot

Well, I'm good with my hands

24-7 I'm your handyman

 

Odd jobs, hard jobs, anything under the sun

Big jobs, small jobs, baby

 

Chorus

I'd be a rich man, it's true

If I could make a living out of lovin' you

These two hands know what to do

If I could make a living out of lovin' you

I could make a living out of lovin' you

Until the work is finished

Well, I don't get paid

I don't mind getting dirty

That's my middle name

I'm in the service business

So I understand

Call me 24-7, I'm your handyman

 

Odd jobs, hard jobs, anything under the sun

Big jobs, small jobs, baby

 

Chorus:

I'd be a rich man, it's true

If I could make a living out of lovin' you

These two hands know what to do

If I could make a living out of lovin' you

If I could make a living out of lovin' you

 

Solo

 

Tough jobs, rough jobs, say where and when

I'll leave you my card, call when you need me again

Odd jobs, hard jobs, baby

 

Chorus

I'd be a rich man, it's true

If I could make a living out of lovin' you

These two hands know what to do

If I could make a living out of lovin' you

I'd be a rich man, it's true

I could make a living out of lovin' you

I'm a rich man

I could make a living out of lovin' you

 

 

I Don't Like Mondays (Feat Bob Geldof)

The silicon chip inside her head

Gets switched to overload

And nobody’s gonna go to school today

She’s gonna make them stay at home

And daddy doesn’t understand it

He always said she was good as gold

And he can see no reasons

'Cos there are no reasons

What reason do you need to be show-ow-ow-ow-own?

 

Tell me why

I don’t like Mondays

Tell me why

I don’t like Mondays

Tell me why

I don’t like Mondays

I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down

 

The Telex machine is kept so clean

And it types to a waiting world

And mother feels so shocked

Father’s world is rocked

And their thoughts turn to their own little girl

Sweet 16 ain’t that peachy keen

Now that ain’t so neat to admit defeat

They can see no reasons

'Cos there are no reasons

What reasons do you need?

Oh Oh Oh Oh

 

Tell me why

I don’t like Mondays

Tell me why

I don’t like Mondays

Tell me why

I don’t like Mondays

I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot

The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down

 

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now

She wants to play with her toys a while

And school's out early and soon we'll be learning

And the lesson today is how to die

And then the bullhorn crackles

And the captain tackles

With the problems and the hows and whys

And he can see no reasons

'Cos there are no reasons

What reason do you need to die, die?

Oh Oh Oh

 

Tell me why

I don’t like Mondays

Tell me why

I don’t like Mondays

Tell me why

I don’t like

I don’t like (Tell me why)

I don’t like Mondays

Tell me why

I don’t like

I don’t like (Tell me why)

I don’t like Mondays

Tell me why

I don't like Mondays

I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down

 

 

I Get A Rush

Every day of my life has been leading me here tonight

Feels like I'm coming home back to you, back to you

Every chance that I take

Every wrong turn and every mistake

Is a step on the road back to you

And I'm alive

 

Chorus:

I like it, I like it, I can't get enough

I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush

I like what I like and I like it too much

You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush

 

And my goal, I see you, you're as close as the hole in my shoe

And when I'm feeling used, I'm renewed, I get high

I can fly, I've got wings

I've got riches that money can't bring

I've got more than a king, I've got you

And baby, that's alright

 

Chorus:

I like it, I like it, I can't get enough

I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush

I like what I like and I like it too much

You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush

From you, everything you do

I call it love

Yeah, I get a rush, I get a rush

 

Every day of my life has been leading me here tonight

And wherever I roam I'm heading back home to you

Back to you

 

Chorus:

I like it, I like it, I can't get enough

I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush

I like what I like and I like it too much

You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush

I like it, I like it, I can't get enough

I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush

I like what I like and I like it too much

You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush

 

From you, everything you do

I call it love

 

 

I Got The Girl

It feels like I'm walkin' on air

Walk down our street

When the neighbors stop to watch us going by

You can hear 'em talking (let them talk)

Sometimes I think that you're the only reason

The sun still shines (when it shines)

And when this wicked world starts bringing me down

I tell myself that I'm one lucky guy

 

Chorus

I got the girl (holding all the cards)

I got the girl (she's a work of art)

I got the girl (who's gonna break my heart)

 

She likes to wear her stripe with her plaids

Won't brush her hair (I swear)

She don't like wearing shoes in December

But I don't care what she wears

 

Repeat chorus

 

If I was a holy man I'd get down on my knees

So the angels that watch over her would give a break to me

Holy Mother of saint bubble gum and Sister band-aid knees

Won't you please pray for the ones like me

 

But the truth is someday

Somebody is gonna take her from me

But the queen of hearts will always be

A five-year-old princess to me (to me)

 

Repeat chorus

 

Chorus 2:

I got the girl (she's gonna leave her mark)

I got the girl (she's a work of art)

I got the girl (she's gonna break your heart)

I got the girl, oh yeah

I got the girl, I got the girl

She’s gonna…I got the girl, yeah

I got the girl, I got the girl

I got the girl

I Just Want To Be Your Man

Hello, baby, it's only me

I know you're tired, it's been a long hard week

I was thinking maybe if you ain't got no plans

 

I just wanna be your man

Tonight I wanna be your man

 

Know what you're thinking, that you've got your doubts

I'm the only one that knows what your dreams are about

If you say no then I will understand

 

I just wanna be your man

Tonight I wanna be your man

 

And all I want is to dream out loud

We used to think we had it all worked out

I know that you don't want to be alone

The streets outside are so damn cold

 

You still ever think of you and me as 'us'?

Or another thing we let die and turn to dust?

I wasn't there to clean the cuts

I wasn't the one who got caught in the ruts

I was just thinking maybe if you got no plans

 

I…

I just wanna…

Tonight I wanna be your man

 

 

I Love This Town

I always knew that I liked this place

You don’t have to look too far to find a friendly face

I feel alive when I’m walking on this street

I feel the heart of the city pounding underneath my feet

 

Let the world keep spinning round, and round

This is where it all goes down, down, down

That’s why I love this town

That’s why I keep coming round

Say hey, say yeah

You make me feel at home somehow right now

That’s why I love this town

 

I got some good friends here

I might have broke a heart or two

It’s getting loud over there

The boys must have had a few

There’s a cop on the corner

He knows everybody’s name

And a kid with a dream singing for some spare loose change

 

Let the world keep spinning round, and round

This is where it all goes down, down, down

That’s why I love this town

That’s why I keep coming round

Say hey, say yeah

You make me feel at home somehow right now

That’s why I love this town

 

They’re shouting from the rooftops

Dancing on the bars

Hanging out the window driving in their baby’s car

You want it you got it

You ready I’m on it

Come on where we go again

 

That’s why I love this town

That’s why I love this town

No matter where you’re from

Tonight you’re from right here

This is where it all goes down, down, down

That’s why I love this town

Say hey, say yeah

I love this town

Say hey, say yeah

I love this town

Say hey, say yeah

I love this town

 

 

I Talk To Jesus

It's like trying to light a match in the rain

Trying to find a way to explain

I came to meet the face that graced me cable TV

I'm his biggest fan, 'like this, him and me

 

Has he gone out, is he in a meeting

I know that you can't tell me for security reasons

 

But, Mister, tell me are you one of the Saints

Hey, maybe I could take a number and wait

 

Chorus:

I talk to Jesus, you don't believe me

I talk to Jesus, I know he hears me

And I talk, talk, I talk to Jesus

 

See, I've got a picture of us here in my wallet

I'd really like to show you...Oh, I guess I forgot it

But, I've got this bracelet, I've got this ID

That the people down at county gave me

 

I know you think I'n special, hear it all the time

You don't have to V.I.P. me, I'm a regular guy

I'd really like to sit and talk sometimes

But, I'm taping Sally Jesse at five

 

Chorus2:

I talk to Jesus, you don't believe me

I talk to Jesus, I know he hears me

I talk to Jesus and Elvis Presley

I talk to Jesus, the king can save me

I talk, talk, talk, I talk to Jesus

 

Have you seen the papers today

If I could, I'd get down and pray

Tell me if the shepherds on the way

 

You know Elvis Presley talks to me

Through my school teacher

Jon Lennon moved in down the street

He bought the pizzeria

 

And aliens control our lives

And when we speak, they're in our minds

And Heather Locklear is my wife

And, Man ain't a lucky guy

 

Repeat Chorus2:

I talk to Jesus, you don't believe me

I talk to Jesus, I know he hears me

I talk to Jesus, the king can save me

I talk, talk, talk, I talk to Jesus

 

 

I Wanna Be Loved

I had a roof overhead

Had shoes on my feet

Yeah, sure I was fed

But no one was there when I was in need, yeah

 

So who am I now?

Who do you want me to be?

I can forgive you but I won't re-live you

I ain't the same scared kid I used to be

 

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna survive

I don't want the world to pass me by

I'm gonna dream

I ain't gonna die

Thinking my life was just a lie

I wanna be loved

I wanna be loved

 

I found a picture

Our so-called family tree, yeah

I broke all the branches lookin' for answers

Don't you know that ain't how it's supposed to be?

 

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna survive

I don't want the world to pass me by

I'm gonna dream

I ain't gonna die

Thinking my life was just a lie

I wanna give

I'm ready to try

Willing to lay it on the line

I wanna be loved

I wanna be…

 

I ain't gonna cry; I don't wanna scream

But I got so much left unsaid inside of me

 

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna survive

Don't want the world to pass me by

I'm gonna dream

I ain't gonna die

Thinking my life was just a lie

I wanna give

I'm ready to try

Willing to lay it on the line

I wanna be loved

I wanna be loved

I just wanna be loved

I wanna be loved

I wanna be loved

I wanna be loved

 

 

I Want You

The last time I saw her

Was the night she said goodbye

She said that love's a stranger

And it's sure to pass you by

As she packed up her belongings

She wouldn't look me in the eye

But I could see a tear roll off her face

As we both tried so hard

Not to cry she said

 

Chorus:

I never wanted the stars

I never shot for the moon

I like them right where they are

All I wanted was you

So baby just turn away

Because I can't face the truth

All I'm trying to say is

All I wanted was you

 

I tried so hard to remember

Where when how why love went away

I tried to drown myself in pity

But your memory kept calling your name

 

I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings

Baby all the things that money brings

And the servants to paint the skies blue

And I worked so hard seven days a week

And built a fortress for your heart to keep

If I could I'd wrap these words up for you

 

Chorus

 

I may have built for you a dreamhouse

But never thought you were alone

I filled the party up with company

But never made our house a home

All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth

All I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you

I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas

What time is it baby, is it that time again

When snow will be falling, friends will be calling

You know it's time when, there'll be carolers singing Silent Night

I love when they sing, the feeling it brings

It's warm as a fire is bright

 

Soon there'll be toys for the good girls and boys

And reindeer are heading our way

Yes, and Santa will come down the chimney above

There's one thing I wanted to say

 

I wish everyday could be like Christmas

And if I could have one wish come true

I wish everyday could be, full of peace and harmony

I wish everyday could be like Christmas, I do

 

I saw a child sit with old Mr. Clause,

Looked him in the eye and he asked old Santa what peace on earth

was

Now the old man grew cautious, on how he would say

That it's the greatest gift what you could give, every day

 

I wish everyday could be like Christmas

And if I could have one wish come true

I wish everyday could be full of peace and harmony

I wish everyday could be like Christmas, I do

 

Now the mistle-toes and the house of Lords

All the world seems at ease tonight

And all that I ask when these precious moments pass

Is why can't every day be so bright

 

I wish everyday could be like Christmas

And if I could have one wish come true

I wish everyday could be, full of peace and harmony

I wish everyday could be like Christmas, I do

Honest I do, yes I do now

Very merry Christmas

 

 

I'd Die For You

If you could see inside my heart

Then you will understand

I\'d never mean to hurt you

Baby i\'m not that kind of man

 

I might not say i\'m sorry

Yeah i might talk tough sometimes

And i might forget the little things

Or keep you hanging on the line

 

In a world that don\'t know Romeo & Juliet

Boy meets girl and promises we can\'t forget

We are cast from Eden\'s gate with no regrets

Into the fire we cry

 

I\'d die for you

I\'d cry for you

I\'d do anything

I\'d lie for you

You know it\'s true

Baby i\'d die for you

I\'d die for you

I\'d cry for you

If it came right down to me and you

You know it\'s true

Baby i\'d die for you

 

I might not be a saviot

And i\'ll never be a king

I might not send you roses

Or buy you diamond rings

 

But if i could see inside you

Maybe i\'d know just who we are

\'Couse our love is like a hunger

Without it we would starve

 

In a world that don\'t know Romeo & Juliet

Boy meets girl and promises we can\'t forget

We are cast from Eden\'s gate with no regrets

Into the fire we cry

 

I\'d die for you

I\'d cry for you

I\'d do anything

I\'d lie for you

You know it\'s true

Baby i\'d die for you

I\'d die for you

I\'d cry for you

If it came right down to me and you

You know it\'s true, Baby i\'d die for you

 

 

I'll Be There For You

I guess this time you're really leaving

I heard your suitcase say goodbye

And as my broken heart lies bleeding

You say true love is suicide

 

You say you've cried a thousand rivers

And now you're swimming for the shore

You left me drowning in my tears

And you won't save me anymore

 

Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

 

I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you

Steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can't say what love can do

I'll be there for you

 

I know you know wev'e had some good times

Now they have their own hiding place

I can promise you tomorrow

But I can't buy back yesterday

 

And Baby you know my hands are dirty

But I wanted to be your valentine

I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby

When you get drunk, I'll be the wine

 

I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you

Steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can't say what a love can do

I'll be there for you

 

Solo

 

And I wan't there when you were happy

I wasn't there when you were down

I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby

I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

 

I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you

Steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can't say what a love can do

I'll be there for you

 

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

Seven days of saturday

Is all that I need

Got no use for Sunday

'Cause I don't rest in peace

Don't need no Mondays

Or the rest of the week

I spend a lot of time in bed

But baby I don't like to sleep no

 

I won't lie to you

I'm never gonna cry to you

I'll probably drive you wild 8 days a week

 

Chorus:

Until I'm 6 feet under

Baby I don't need a bed

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Till they roll me over

And lay my bones to rest

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

 

So you're looking for some action

I got got everything you need

Better keep your motor running

'cause I was built for speed

This ain't no slumber party

Got no time for catching z's

If they say that that ain't healthy

Well then living's a disease

 

We're never gonna die baby

Come on let me drive you crazy

We'll make every night another New Year's Eve

 

Chorus

 

Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead

Gonna live while I'm alive,

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Seven days of Saturday

Is all that I need

 

Got no use for Sunday

'Cause I don't rest in peace

I was born to live

You know I wasn't born to die

But if they party down in heaven

I'll be sure to be on time

 

Until I'm six feet under

I don't need a bed

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Till they roll me over

And lay my bones to rest

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

 

I feel like I'm exploding

Going out of my head

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

 

Till I'm six feet under

And they lay my bones to rest

Gonna live while I'm alive

I'll sleep when I'm dead

 

Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead

Gonna live while I'm alive, sleep when I'm dead

 

 

If I Can't Have Your Love

Oooh

 

It's hard to remember a time

When I didn't have you

Didn't have nothing but a cold bed to come to at night

That was all I knew

Until there was you

 

And then you took my world

And turned it all around

I couldn't live without you now

 

Baby

If I can't have your love

If I can't feel your touch

I got nothin'

Baby

If I can't taste your kiss

Then I don't exist

I got nothin' yeah

 

No I can't imagine livin' life without you

I can't imagine livin' life without your love

 

I wake up with you by my side

I can't let go

I can't even bear the thought of you in another man's eyes

I would lose control

I would die

 

'Cause now you're in my heart

And I can't let you out

I gotta keep you here, somehow

 

Baby

If I can't have your love

If I can't feel your touch

I've got nothing

Baby

If I can't taste your kiss

Then I don't exist

I got nothing

If I can't be your man

I wouldn't know who I am

I got nothing, I got nothing

 

(whispered)

No I can't imagine living life without you

I can't imagine living life without your love

 

(Sung)

'Cause I can't imagine living live without you

Can't imagine living life wiouthout your love

 

Believe me baby I don't mean to doubt you

But if you ever leave

That would be the end of me

Baby, Baby

 

If I can't feel your touch I got nothin'

If I can't taste your kiss then I don't exist

Then I got nothin'

I got nothin'

 

Baby

If I can't be your man

I wouldn't know who I am

I'd be nothing

Baby

If I can't have your love

If I can't feel your touch

I've got nothin' (yeah-h)

 

No I can't imagine living life without you

No I can't imagine living life without your love

 

 

 

If I Was Your Mother

If I was your mother

Would you let me hold your hnad

Would you say you were my baby

Would you always be my friend

 

If I was your mother

Could I teach you what's right

Could I tell you stories

Maybe tuck you in

And kiss you sweet goodnight

 

Tell me what I've gotta do

To make my life mean more to you

I could get so close it's true

If I was your mother

 

Would you always believe me

'Cause I'd wake up in the middle

Of the night

Just to see if you need me

 

Tell me there's no mother

To who you're tellig your secrets

And would you tell me

'Bout all the boys you been

Bringing home to meet me

 

Tell me what I've gotta do

To make my life mean more to you

I could get so close it's true

If I was yours

 

Mother, mother

If I was your

Mother, mother

 

When love is blood

You're never on trial

Love don't get deeper

Than a mother & child

Oh baby, I got to get that

Close to you

 

Tell me what I've gotta do

To make my life mean more to you

I could get so close it's true

If I was yours

 

Tell me what I got to be

To make you a part of me

There's no one else you'd ever need

If I was your

 

Mother, mother

If I was your mother

Mother, mother

 

Mother, mother

If I was your mother

Mother, mother

 

 

If Thats What It Takes

I played the part of a broken heart upon a shelf

I played that part so lonely and so well

Thought that love belonged to someone else, not me and you

Yeah, I know that you've been shattered, you've been bruised

And we both know what it feels like when you lose

But I'd bet my life on the roll of the dice for you

 

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do

Tonite's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you

Do I have to break down, baby just to break through

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do

If that's what it takes ...

 

I bet you counted all the tears up that you've cried

I bet you swore you'd never let love back inside

Cos it hurt you way too bad to say good-bye

Now, there'll be times when I might put us to the test

And it's hard for broken hearts to just forget

But I'm driving blind, I'll lay it all on the line for you

 

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do

Tonite's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you

Do I have to break down, baby just to break through

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do

If that's what it takes, oh yeah

 

So, when you feel like jumping

Just when your heart starts pumping

When you're standing out on that ledge, staring over the edge

I'll be there to talk you down, I'll be there before you hit the ground

 

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do

Tonite's the night, I'm gonna prove it to you

Do I have to break down, baby just to break through

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do

If it takes the time to get it right

I know we'll pull through

If it took all my life, I'd prove it to you

If that's what it takes, that's what I'd do If that's what it takes ... I'd do anything baby

 

Oh yeah

I'd do anything you want me to, baby if it's me and you

It's alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Oh yeah, oh baby

 

 

In And Out Of Love

Young and wired

Set to explode in the heat

You won't tire

Cause baby was born with the beat

Take you higher than you've ever known

Then drive you down to your knees

I pick you up when you've had enough

You been burned baby lessons learned

In and out of love

Hear what I'm sayin'

In and out of love

It's the way that we're playing

In and out of love

Too much is never enough

She's gonna get ya.

Running wild

When me and my boys hit the streets

Right on time

She's here to make my night complete

Then I'm long gone I got another show

One more town, one mile to go

One endless night of fantasy

Is all she left of her with me

In and out of love

Hear what I'm sayin'

In and out of love

It's the way that we're playing

In and out of love

When we're together

In and out of love

It's too much forever

In and out of love

Hear what I'm saying

In and out of love

It's the way that we're playing

In and out of love

Too much is never enough

She's gonna get you

In and out of love...

 

 

In These Arms

You want commitment

Take a look into these eyes

They burn with a fire

Till the end of time

I would do anything

I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die

To have you in these arms tonight

 

Baby I want you like the roses

Want the rain

You know I need you

Like a poet needs the pain

I would give anything

My blood my love my life

If you were in these arms tonight

 

Chorus:

I'd hold you

I'd need you

I'd get down on my knees for you

And make everything alright

If you were in these arms

I'd love you

I'd please you

I'd tell you that I'd never leave you

And love you till the end of time

If you were in these arms tonight

 

We stared at the sun

And we made a promise

A promise this world would never blind us

These are our words

Our words were our songs

Our songs are our prayers

These prayers keep me strong

And I still I believe

If you were in these arms tonight

 

Chorus

 

Your clothes are still scattered

All over our room

The whole place still smells like

Your cheap perfume

Everything here reminds me of you

And there's nothing that I wouldn't do

 

And these were our words

They keep me strong baby

 

Chorus

 

 

Its Just Me

You know your favorite old pair of shoes

The ones with the hole in the toe you won't lose

Your favorite record that's all scratched and used

But still you love to play when your feeling blue

 

That faded rose that's all dried out

Those bukowski poems we couldn't live without

Your high school pic when you had wild hair

That stormy day on the beach that got us here

 

Oh, you better believe there's just one thing you need

Can't you see...

 

It's just me baby

It's just me baby

If there's just one thing that you should keep

In your book of dreams

It's just me baby

 

Just like a shadow 10 feet tall

Standing right behind you should you fall

I'll be the one to hold you up to walk

When this wicked world makes us want to crawl

 

Abd if your waves should ever break at sea

I'll be there waiting, I'm that sandy beach

I'm that same old dog, scratching those same fleas

I'll be by your side, you can count on me

 

It's just me baby

It's just me baby

If there's just one thing that you should keep

In your book of dreams

It's just me baby

It's just me baby

What's it gonna take to make you see

What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me

 

Oh, how my smile fades and my heart just breaks

Every time you go away

 

It's just me baby

It's just me baby

If there's just one thing that you should keep

In your book of dreams

It's just me baby

It's just me baby

What's it gonna take to make you see

What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me

 

And if someday some new memory comes along

Looking shiny new, feeling really strong

You can tell him that I'll tell him

He can just move on

I'm a fighter - I've been fighting for you all night long

It's just me baby

Its My Life

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted

No silent prayer for faith departed

And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd

You're gonna hear my voice

When I shout it out loud

 

Chorus

It's my life

It's now or never

I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life)

My heart is like an open highway

Like Frankie said

I did it my way

I just wanna live while I'm alive, It's my life

 

This is for the ones who stood their ground

For Tommy and Gina who never backed down

Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake

Luck ain't even lucky

Got to make your own breaks

 

Repeat chorus

 

Better stand tall when they're calling you out

Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

 

Repeat chorus

 

 

Joey

Joey Keys was from my neighborhood

Some would say he was bad

Joe thought bad was good

Say he got the name "Keys" picking locks

He never really robbed no one

It sure amused the cops

 

Joey's parents owned the restaurant

After closing time they'd give us almost anything we want

I never cared that Joey Keys was slow

Though he couldn't read or write too well

We'd talk all night long

 

Come, come on, come on

Whatcha gonna do with your life?

Come, come on, come on

Chasing sparks in the night

His old man said tomorrow

Is a ride that goes nowhere

But I'll pull some strings

Get blackbird wings

And break us out of here

 

Hey Joey, come on tell me 'bout your dreams

Tell me all the sights you're gonna see

Tell me who you're gonna be

Hey Joey, we're gonna kiss the girls goodnight

Sometimes you gotta stand and fight

It'll be all right

We gonna find a better life

 

See, Joe was three years younger tot he day

Acted like a little brother, but became my ball and chain

I met this girl named Rhonda, she fell for me

She said, "I might learn to like him,

But love ain't built for free."

 

Hey Joey, come on tell me 'bout your dreams

Tell me all the sights you're gonna see

Tell me who you're gonna be

Hey Joey, we're gonna kiss the girls goodnight

Sometimes you gotta stand and fight

It'll be all right

Hey Joey

 

News gets around this fading neighborhood

The old man lost his restaurant, he drinks more then he should

Its time for Joey Keys to do some good

Pick the lock off our lives

Like we always said we would

 

Hey Joey, come on tell me bout your dreams

Tell me all the sights you're gonna see

Tell me who you're gonna be

Hey Joey, we're gonna kiss the girls goodnight

You gotta stand and fight

It'll be all right

We gonna find a better life

 

Find a better life

Find a better life

Uh huh, uh huh

 

Come, come on, come on

Whatcha gonna do with your life?

Come, come on, come on

Chasing sparks in the night

Tell the old man its tomorrow

And we're off to find somewhere

Well I'll pull those strings,

Get blackbird wings to guide us out of here

 

 

Just Older

Hey, man, it's been a while

Do you remember me?

When I hit the streets I was 17

A little wild, a little green

I've been up and down and in between

After all these years and miles and memories

I'm still chasing dreams

But I ain't looking over my shoulder

 

Chorus

I like the bed I'm sleeping in

It's just like me, it's broken in

It's not old -- just older

Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans

This skin I'm in it's alright with me

It's not old -- just older

 

It's good to see your face

You ain't no worse for wear

Breathing that California air

When we took on the world

We were young and brave

We got secrets that we'll take to the grave

And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder

 

Repeat chorus

 

I'm not old enough to sing the blues

But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes

You can roll the dice 'til they call your bluff

But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose, yeah

 

Solo

 

Well, I look in the mirror

I don't hate what I see

There's a few more lines staring back at me

Now the nights have grown a little bit colder

Hey man, I gotta run

You take care

If you see coach T. tell him I've cut my hair

I kept my faith

I still believe I’m just…

Repeat chorus

 

 

Keep The Faith

Mother mother tell your children

That their time has just begun

I have suffered for my anger

There are wars that can't be won

 

Father father please believe me

I am laying down my guns

I am broken like an arrow

Forgive me

Forgive your wayward son

 

Everybody needs somebody to love

(mother, mother)

Everybody needs somebody to hate

(please believe me)

Everybody's bitching

'cause they can't get enough

And it's hard to hold on

When there's no one to lean on

 

Chorus:

Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain

Lord you got to keep the faith

Faith: don't let your love turn to hate

Right now we got to

Keep the faith

Keep the faith

Keep the faith

Lord we got to keep the faith

 

Tell me baby when I hurt you

Do you keep it all inside

Do you tell me al's forgiven

And just hide behind your pride

 

Everybody needs somebody to love

(mother, father)

Everybody needs somebody to hate

(please don't leave me)

Everybody's bleeding

'cause the times are tough

Well it's hard to be strong

When there's no one to dream on

 

Chorus

 

Walking in the footsteps

Of society's lies

I don't like what I see no more

Sometimes I wish that I was blind

Sometimes I wait forever

 

To stand out in the rain

So no one sees me cryin'

Trying to wash away the pain

Mother father

 

There's things I've done I can't erase

Every night we fall from grace

 

It's hard with the world in yours face

Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

 

Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain

Lord you got to keep the faith

Faith: don't let your love turn to hate

Right now we got to keep the faith

Faith: now it's not too late

Try to hold on, trying to hold on

Keep the faith

 

 

Kidnap An Angel

I get up every morning, drink coffee alone

My house it too quiet; I'm the only one home

I let the newspapers pile up at the door

I can't be bothered; I don't read 'em no more

The flowers are blooming, the ones you planted last spring

I can't make much sense out of anything

Chorus:

If I could kidnap an angel

I'd clip off his wings

And bring them to you

That would fix everything

I get in the car like I do every day

Wondering how in the world did it turn out this way?

It's just 'round the corner, turn left and I'm there

I'd do anything to be anywhere but here

Chorus:

If I could kidnap an angel

I'd clip off his wings

And bring them to you

That would fix everything

If I could kidnap an angel

He could teach us to fly

We'd live forever, forever

We'd never die

If I could kidnap an angel

Now the parking attendant knows my first name

These long green hallways all look the same

There's four elevators, one goes to that floor

I brace myself when I get to the door

I close my eyes and take a deep breath

Then sit down beside your hospital bed

Chorus:

If I could kidnap an angel

I'd clip off his wings

I'd bring them to you

That would fix everything

If I could kidnap an angel

He could teach us to fly

We'd live forever, forever

We'd never die

If I could kidnap an angel

If I could kidnap an angel

He'd say the word

He'd tear down these walls

People laughing like children through these hospital halls

There'd be no more tears

There'd be no more blood

There'd be nothing but smiles

Nothing but love

If I could kidnap an angel…

If I could kidnap an angel…

King Of The Heart

I know you want me but you look away, I act real cool cause you're so afraid.

You keep your distance and crave my carress, we all make our choices, we all stand

the test.

Yes I know, where you go.

 

I'm the king of the heart, I hear you callin' my name,

Here in the darkness the truth puts an end to your game.

I'm the king of the heart, you know that I know you're mine,

You have the face that's alone at the end of the line.

 

Feelin' so naked we ache for the touch, I feel your eyes on me, they swallow me up.

Show me your face and I'll put them to rest, we all make our choices we all stand the

test.

Yes I know, where you go.

 

I'm the king of the heart, I hear you callin' my name,

Here in the darkness the truth puts an end to your game.

I'm the king of the heart, you know that I know you're mine,

You have the face that's alone at the end of the line.

You know you're mine.

 

And you think you need protection, and so we build up these walls,

I'm gonna be the acception, so let's lift our voices and cry,

To the king of the heart.

 

I'm the king of the heart, I hear you callin' my name,

Here in the darkness the truth puts an end to your game.

I'm the king of the heart, you know that I know you're mine,

You have the face that's alone at the end of the line.

I'm the king of the heart.

King of the heart, king of the heart.

King of the heart.

 

 

King Of The Mountain

Listen people can't you hear the voices that are crying out.

There's a hunger burning in the heart of their souls.

Maybe now that I got you let me tell you what I'm talking 'bout

Stand up and shout tonight we'll lose control

Now we're standing undefeated.

I'm the King of the Mountain

I'm the King of the Hill

Tonight's the night they can't put you down, no one could.

I been down and mistreated

Now we're standing undefeated

I'm the King of the Mountain

I'm the King of the Hill

 

 

Last Chance Train

October leaves are fallin, so am I

A harvest moon is calling me and I know why

The traffics like a symphony in blues

In the autumn air I smell your sweet perfume

I miss you sitting cross-legged in this empty room

Yesterdays are eating me alive

 

If I'm your angel baby I've got broken wings

I can't walk I ride I can't drive until you're next to me

So the only thing

 

You gotta meet me tonight

I'm on the last chance train

Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination

Love bring me home again

 

You tried to reach me but I sailed away

You tried to read me but my words got in the way

The music's over but the dance has just begun

I wish that I could just get back to Baltimore

You know I'd scratch I'd claw I'd scream till' I'm raw,

Just to fall down at your door

 

You gotta meet me tonight

I'm on the last chance train

Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination

Love bring me home again

 

Let the scarecrow's laugh coming down the tracks,

At broken hearts that don't come back,

Cause the train has left the station with my pain,

Let em' forget my name

Oh, I'm on the last chance train

 

Sitting here, smoke my 19th cigarette

Now all that's left are ashes, buttes, and my regrets

Its your taste that I just can't forget

 

You gotta meet me tonight

I'm on the last chance train

Let the scarecrow's laugh coming down the tracks,

At the broken hearts that don't come back,

We'll be laughing at them, crying in the rain

Its you and I again

 

You gotta meet me tonight

I'm on the last chance train

Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination

Love bring me home again

 

I'm on the last chance train

Its gonna bring me home to you

On the last chance train, running through veins

This time I'm coming through

Coming through

 

 

Last Cigarette

Regrets are all you left on your lipstick stains

Take a picture of our past there in that ashtray

We had our fun, I used to light your flame

Like the dancing smoke that rose we tried to find our way

No one told me, she told me

 

Your love's like one last cigarette

Last cigarette, I will savor it

The last cigarette

Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends

But when it's gone, it's gone

The last cigarette

 

Just to breathe reminds me of what used to be

The smoke's the ghost that keeps you close when I can't sleep

Don't ask the past to last; it's about to change

The memories don't answer when I call your name

No one told me, she told me

 

Your love's like one last cigarette

Last cigarette, I will savor it

The last cigarette

Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends

But when it's gone, it's gone

One last cigarette, last cigarette

One I can't forget, the last cigarette

Right there at my fingertips, I got your taste still on my lips

Right or wrong

You're still gone, gone, gone

The last cigarette

 

No one told me, she told me

You always lose the girl in a Brian Wilson world

 

Your love's like one last cigarette

Last cigarette, I will savor it

The last cigarette

Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends

But when it's gone, it's gone

One last cigarette, last cigarette

One I can't forget, the last cigarette

Right there at my fingertips, I got your taste still on my lips

Right or wrong

You're still gone, gone, gone

The last cigarette…

 

 

Last Man Standing

Come see a living, breathing spectacle

Only seen right here

It's your last chance in this lifetime

The line forms at the rear

You won't believe your eyes

Your eyes will not believe youre ears

Get your money out, get ready

Step right up, yeah you, come here

 

You ain't seen nothing like him

He´s the last one of the breed

You better hold on to your honey

Honeys, don't forget to breathe

Enter at your own risk, mister

It might change the way you think

There's no dancers, there's no diamonds

No this boy he don't lip-synch

 

Here's the last man standing

Step right up, he's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

Come and see, hear, feel ... the real thing

 

See those real live calloused fingers

Wrapped around those guitar strings

Kiss the lips where hurt has lingered

It breaks the hart to hear him sing

Thesongs were more than music

They were pictures from the soul

Se keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk

And your digital downloads

 

Here's the last man standing

Step right up, he's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

Come and see, hear, feel ... the real thing

 

Take your seats now, folks. It's showtime

Hey, Patrick - hit the lights

There's something in the air

There's magic in the night

Now here's the band, they really play

I'll count the first one in

I don't know where it's going

We all know where it's been

 

Here's the last man standing

Step right up, he's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

Come and see, hear, feel ... the real thing

 

The last man standing

Step right up, he's the real thing

The last chance of a lifetime

Lay Your Hands On Me

If you're ready, I'm willing and able

Help me lay my cards out on the table

You're mine and I'm yours for the taking

Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking

 

What you get ain't always what you see

But satisfaction's guaranteed

They say what you give is always what you need

So if you want me to lay my hands on you

 

Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,

Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,

 

Lay your hands on me

 

I'm a fighter, I'm a poet, I'm a preacher

I've been to school and baby, I've been the teacher

If you show me how to get up off the ground

I can show you how to fly and never ever come back down

 

Everything you want is what I need

Satisfaction's guaranteed

But the ride don't never ever come for free

If you want me to lay my hands on you

 

Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,

Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me,

 

Lay your hands on me

 

Solo

 

Don't you know I only aim to please

If you want me to lay my hands on you

 

Lay your hands on me

 

 

Let It Rock

The weekend comes to this town

Seven days too soon

For the ones who have to make up

What we break up of their rules

 

Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset

Tell his boys they\'re in command

While Chino danced a tango

With a broomstick in his hand

 

He said: It\'s alright (alright) if you have a good time

It\'s alright (alright) if you want to cross that line

To break on through to the other side

 

Let it rock, let it go

You can\'t stop a fire burning out of control

Let it rock, let it go

With the night you\'re on the loose

You got to let it rock

 

We go down to the Broadway

Where everybody goes

To get on their rockin\' horse

And blast that radio

Well I saw Roxie on the table

Her girlfriend down below

They\'ll give it to the king of swing

Before it\'s time to go

 

They said: It\'s alright (alright) if you have a good time

It\'s alright (alright) if you want to cross that line

To break on through to the other side

 

Let it rock, let it go

You can\'t stop a fire burning out of control

Let it rock, let it go

With the night you\'re on the loose

You got to let it rock

 

 

Lets Make A Baby

When I look in your eyes

I can feel the fire

A see-through disguise

Can't you see the desire

I been reading your lips

They don't need no translation

They want more than a kiss

I've come to make my donation.

 

 

So turn out the lights

I'm going down slowly

Don't tell me what's right

Just tell me you want me

Oh tell you want me

 

Just tell me you want me want me want me!

Oh let's make it baby!

Well let's make it baby!

Well let's make it baby!

Let's make it baby!

 

 

Come come come a little bit closer

I want to play doctor

But it keeps getting harder harder harder to keep me away!

I want to taste the sweat

That's running off of your body

Get the sheets all wet

Yeah I want to make you

Feel naughty

 

Let's make it baby

Hey let's make it baby

Well let's make it baby

Well let's make it baby baby baby oh

 

Oh oh oh baby baby baby

 

Well turn out the lightsss

Yeah, tell me you love me

Just tell me you want me

Don't tell me you love me

Tell me you want me want me want me

Want me! Want me!

 

Let's make it baby!

Well let's make it baby!

Well let's make it baby!

Hey let's make it baby!

 

Oohh

Oohh

Oohh

 

 

Letter To A Friend

I'll be there to hold you by the hand

When you need someone to walk you home

You know that I'll be there to understand

When you call me on the phone

I'll be there to watch you when you sleep

When you close your eyes at night

And I'll be there to keep your secrets kept,

Cross my heart, hope to die

I swear each word is true

There's only one thing I wouldn't do

I'll be there when you need a real friend

I'll be there to listen to your secrets

I'll be there and give you all I've got

I'll be there when you paint your masterpiece

And I'll be right beside your every move

I'll give you my eyes so you can see

And I'll help you to find the things you've lost

When you're busting at the seams

I swear each word is true

There's only one thing I wouldn't do

I ain't gonna love you

I ain't gonna love you

Chorus:

Nobody wants you like I want you

Nobody needs you like I need you

You know I would beg and plead, get down on my knees

I'd do most anything, it's true

But I ain't gonna love you

I ain't gonna love you

'Cause I love you

I'll be there to love the things you love

I'll be the one who knows your middle name

Be the only one that you can trust

I'll give you the blood that's in my veins

I swear these words are true

There's only one thing I wouldn't do

I ain't gonna love you

Chorus:

'Cause nobody wants you like I want you

Nobody needs you like I need you

You know I would beg and please, get down on my knees

Do most anything for you

But I ain't gonna love you

I ain't gonna love

'Cause I love you

Because I love you

 

 

Lie To Me

Rumour has it that your daddy's coming down

He's gonna pay the rent

Tell me babe, is this as good as life is gonna get

It feels like there's a stranger who's standing in these shoes

But, I know I can't lose me, cos then I'd be losing you

 

I know I promised baby

I would be the one to make our dreams come true

I ain't too proud of all the struggles and the hard times we've been through

When this cold world comes between us

Please tell me you'll be brave

Cos I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away

 

If you don't love me - lie to me

Cos baby you're the one thing I believe

Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be

Right now if you don't love me baby - lie to me

 

Pour another cup of coffee, babe I got something to say to you

But I ain't got the winning ticket

Not the one that's gonna pull us through

No one said that it'd be easy, let your old man take you home

But know if you walk out on me

That darling, I'd be gone

 

If you don't love me - lie to me

'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe

Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be

Right now if you can't love me baby - lie to me

Baby - I can take it

 

It's a b**ch, yeah life's a roller coaster ride

The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes

It's hard believing that the thrill is gone

But we got to go around again, so let's hold on

 

If you don't love me - lie to me

'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe

Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be

Right now if you can't love me baby - lie to me, go on lie to me

Baby I can take it

C'mon lie to me

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Go on, lie to me

Go on, lie to me

Lie to me

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

(Ad lib to fade)
