B i o g r a p h y The Sheffield-based dance-pop duo Moloko is the end result of Irish-born singer Roisin Murphy's attempt to pick up mixer/producer Mark Brydon at a 1994 party with the come-on, "Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body." Brydon saw musical potential in her attitude, and the two formed a creative and romantic partnership. Murphy, who never sang outside of the shower before, was a newcomer to the music business. However, Brydon had many years of experience with U.K. house music acts House Arrest and Cloud 9, helped found Sheffield's Fon studios, and remixed artists like Eric B & Rakim and Psychic TV. Soon after forming Moloko, they released their debut single, "Where Is the What If the What Is in the Why?," and signed to Echo Records. The band's full-length debut, inevitably named Do You Like My Tight Sweater?, came out in 1995 and was an equal mix of Murphy's slinky attitude and Brydon's musical prowess. The album combined dance, funk, and trip-hop elements in an approach similar to Portishead or Massive Attack but with a sense of humor and sass unique to Moloko. Though the album's U.S. release occurred nearly a year later, the single "Fun for Me" was featured prominently on the Batman & Robin soundtrack and received some radio airplay. Moloko toured with kindred musical spirits such as Pulp, built a home studio, and recorded the follow-up to Do You Like My Tight Sweater?, titled I Am Not a Doctor. Released in 1998 (and late 1999 in the U.S.), the album continued in Moloko's witty, funky tradition. The group's third album, Things to Make and Do, was issued in the U.K. in the spring of 2000. |
Do
you like my tight sweater
Fun for me
I dreamt that I was dreaming, I was wired
to a clock,
Tickled by the minute hand tick tock tick tock,
I dream I'm on a train and it is making music,
I don't remember getting on clickity click clickity click,
I dreamt that I was very tall, I was bigger than King Kong,
I heard the bells the bells a'ringing a'ding dong ding dong,
I dreamt that I was sitting in the devil's company,
He gave a solemn promise fe fi fi fun for me,
I dreamt that I was chasing the monster out of me,
I caught him in the corner ha ha hee hee hee,
I dream I'm in a tunnel between here and now,
Scooby do-be where would you be bow wow wow wow,
I dream I'm at a crossroads no place left to go,
I look in each direction eenie meanie miny mo,
I dream I am an ostrich head deep in the sand,
There is a rhythm that's a playing fantastic elastic band,
I dreamt that the bogeyman went down on Mr Spock
Sugar was a flowing sock it to 'em sock
I dreamt I saw a moo cow jump across the moon
Just a flight of fantasy zoom zoom zoom
I dreamt I met a spaceman he took me to his ship,
You know he cut my hair off snip snip snip
I dreamt that I was sleeping asleep for heaven's sake
The dream that I was dreaming caused me to awake
I dreamt that I was way up I was standing on the top
With the feeling I was falling bop beep bop
I dreamt that I was jumping in a circus through a hoop,
Someone saw the lights off shoo-be-doop
I dreamt that I was fast I was never shutting up,
I was going in a hurry I was giddy-up giddy-up
I dream I'm in the park I'm standing in the nudey,
I was getting what I wanted tootie fruity tootie fruity,
I dreamt that I was dreaming, I was wired to a clock,
Tickled by the minute hand tick tock tick tock,
I dream I'm on a train and it is making music,
I don't remember getting on clickity click clickity click,
I dreamt that I was very tall, I was bigger than King Kong,
I heard the bells the bells a'ringing a'ding dong ding dong,
I dream I am an astrich head deep in the sand,
There is a rhythm that's a playing fantastic elastic band,
Fe fi fi fun for me.

Do you like my tight sweater?
See how it fits my body
Do you like my tight sweater?
Day for night
Into the night I go day for night ...
I know what you talk about in your sleep wrap yourself around me
Not just a passer by I'm gonna stay awhile,
I like your peep show magnetized I saw you in the window,
I've been watching you don't know what else to do,
Trust me I'm sensitive intensitive I'll never let you go,
No need to be afraid release yourself to me I got that heart-ache,
Hubble bubble you know my trouble I saw you on your own no need to be alone,
let me levitate relax resonate turn off the lights,
Day for night ....
I saw your eyes on fire the desire won't release you,
I go where you go to I have to follow you,
So put your honey where your mouth is look behind you,
Relax and let me hypnotize I'd like to touch mmmm,
Standing in the shadows I've had my fill of it,
Too close to the light just for the thrill of it,
Hubble buble you know my trouble turn out the lights,
Day for night...
*** Thanx to Fergus who corrected some mistakes ***
I can't help
myself
I can't help myself ...
I am the doughnut that you hold up
And I never sold up in a pie,
The hoot boot's so fly,
I always try to beat the rest to impress,
I put my tongue in my trouser press,
I got the toots baby you got the fruits,
Fruit got the loot lady you got the boots,
Don't be a mook don't get the spook,
Don't be a cry baby I only said maybe,
Shmoozin I was pressuing when like a catapult,
I did a summersault,
Going down the lazy river,
three fingers deliver,
I can't help myself...,
The reverb you just heard is resounding in the surrounding area,
It's getting scarier I've got the amp damp mangled,
got my tingle in tangle let me see what I can wangle,
In the bermuda triangle,
Gravity will be the death of me,
Terminal velocity follow the follow the vaper,
One hundred purcent proof caper,
Burst the barricades but don't drink the lemonade,
Martinis by beeard man an artizan down at the can can,
And oh yes he can can fat,
Fredies cat in seven lead boots whiskey for the whiskers the shot sure shoots,
She sells sea shells sea shells on the sea shore,
Is it true what mummy said you can't come back no more,
Oh no no no no singing a song about nothing,
Talk through my belly button,
At the inn of seventh happiness more or less,
I found you on the floor saying more more more,
Peel back the skin sonar beats like quaver,
Small bananas selected for flavour,
I can't help myself....
Circus
Couldn't carry her
Away
Lotus eaters
Spikey lady shiny queen don't you tell them what you've seen,
Plastic people silicon never let them in your home,
Don't become a middle man keep your mouth shut if you can,
Don't you tell them what you know they will go anyway the wind blows,
Be my best friend be my baby I'll be there for you maybe,
Don't get on the roller coaster ya burn your fingers on the toasters,
Just a fair weather friend gone when the summer end,
They will look into your eyes tell you pretty perfume lies,
Slinky slimy lotus eaters jeepers creepers get a load of those peepers,
Talking all that mumbo jumbo people pass in solo limbo,
See them slip see them slide but have you seen the nasty side,
With all the smiling and kissing listen to the hiss hiss hissing,
She slip she slide she don't know why she hide,
Dizzy little missy with a twinkle in her eye bye bye,
Finger lickin' good kill you if she could dig it when you're down send in the clown,
Don't let them poke don't let them peek their friendly chat is cheap
You look so fine you look so hip you're styling makes me trip,
Take your place if they could these are the people in your neighbourhood,
She slips she slides she don't know why she hide,
Poking peeking sneaking cheating sniffing sliding,
A running and hiding,
Creeping crawling feeling and mauling,
Fickle little tickles brains like pickles,
She slip she slides she don't know why she hide,
Dizzy little missy with a twinkle in her eye bye bye,
Finger lickin' good kill you if she could dig it when you're down send in the clown,
She slip she slid she don't know why she hide,
Dizzy little missy with a twinkle in her eye bye bye,
Finger lickin' good kill you if she could dig it when you're down send in the clown.
The enemy
Is gonna get me
But not today
On my horsey
Dominoid
I can't control this urge so I risk what I wager,
I lost to a chicken shit never was panty sniffer,
Got my eye on a cool hand and I wonder about his dog of a day,
Wanted to be a big shot real hot down with the domino,
You know calling on instict calling the bluff,
Telling a tale ten stories high to the operative,
I figured the numbers underpressure I played by the seat of my pants,
Then fate took a twist quietly wiley faking it waiting for a fluke,
Waiting for a sign by now boggle eyed,
If I believe I will receive leaning on the ever lasting tree,
Hanging in the hands of fate down with the domino,
I'm no, down with the domino, I'm no casino casanova with the good luck eyes,
it's hard to tell who's friend or foe when you go down like the domino,
One track mind just digging 'till I find,
The gold at the end of the rainbow just keep on going,
Though twisted up inside her fool heart takes over and jumps on for the ride,
Down with the domino,
I need the roulette to make me forget,
Rotating random eyes roll in tandem,
Lady look illusive but I do what I can better be a day as a lion,
Than a life time as a lamb down with the domino, down, you know.
Party Weirdo
God am I the only sane one around here,
Doesn't anybody else find this queer,
Oh shit oh,
A wizard approaches,
A reward for the weirdo,
Party weirdo ...
Countless times you have fallen weird one,
I'm gonna ask the judge for a party crack down,
A weirdo wack down hangin out on streets in cars in bars,
Outside my window in my pool in my bed in my head,
Party weirdo ... I'm simply ask the judge ... hello hello ...
Oh but somehow someway somewhere you get back on your partied,
Out feet, hello hello, party weirdo ...
It's just so exotic you got no where left to go, Party weirdo,
you will ask yourself who am I what am I where am I,
You will answer I am no-one probably nothing,
I know that I'm nowhere you poor crass animal ok I'm new around town,
Can anybody tell me what all these party weirdos are all about,
Someone says you must go there and check out the party weirdos,
Now all I see is a lot of young people all mixed up,
It's just not fair countless times you have fallen weird one partied out yet,
You might expect one's weirdness to subside,
But it does not subside it sort of grows and grows and grows man,
You can just go find somewhere else to go 'cos you're just not welcome here any more.
You weird
Ho humm
Humm, humm humm ...
Flash light in the dark of night,
Laissez faire devil may care quick silver,
The feline breed your ego feed,
I'm a tease if you please an infuser,
Oh but you know 'bout the juju,
I coluded with the lucid a creator,
Come to my place for some good taste,
Rise the amorous to the rapturous alligator,
Hum humm humm ...
If you please,
Call for me by humming this tune,
I only come when there's a full moon,
Ruby red lips painted finger tips,
Make your sweet heart cry and your best friends try,
Facinate like a temptress the caress,
Leaves you languishing exhilarate,
A tornado if you say so,
And I shake like a quake captivate,
Humm humm humm ...
Call for me by humming this tune,
I only come when there's a full moon.

Killa
bunnies
Sniverling little bunny bouncing up and down,
Scummy little creatures,
Run them out of town,
In the tiny tunnels scuffling under ground,
Toxic little bunny can always be found,
Danger evil rodent,
Multiplying every day,
Bunny taking over,
Get on your knees and pray,
Filthy fluffy creatures,
Teeth as sharp as knives,
The longeared ones are coming,
Run run run for your lives,
Killa bunny is a coming,
Killa bunny on his way,
Killa bunny is a coming,
Are you hearing what I say.
Boo
Do not fear me,
I bring no harm,
No one knows where I came from,
I walk on water all day long,
No one knows how far I came,
No one even knows my name,
I sometimes sing as I float,
No one ever hears a note,
I sometimes move from place to place,
No one ever sees my face,
I can't touch I can't weep I can't taste I can't sleep,
I appear I disappear I reappear I'm getting near,
I'm tired of living in my brain,
I feel no joy I feel no pain,
I don't live I just exist,
I need to know the life I missed,
I'm the only one host I'm this town,
I'm the only ghost in the lost and found,
I'm the only one if you look around,
Reappear I'm getting near.
Where is
the what if the what is in why ?
What is a god of phoney creation,
Where am I going with no destination,
What if the fish came from the sea,
What if my lover made me feel free,
What if my intake caused revelation,
What if the point was reincarnation,
What if my shoes do'nt match my jacket,
If it's not working why don't you smack it,
What if your mamma said you were fat,
If you are lost find where your at,
What is a number without any time,
You can't get higher with nothing to climb,
Why have a body if you ain't got a mind,
What is a searcher with nothing to find,
Why is the traffic refusing to stop,
Why climb the ladder if you can't reach the top,
Where is the what if the what is in why,
Where is the what if the what is in why
Where is the what if the what is in why,
What do you dream of when you sleep at night,
Wee how the blind man fills up with light,
What is a bird with nowhere to fly,
How can you leave and not say goodbye,
What is a hunter with nothing to find,
What is the goodness without the unkind,
When did the outfit fall out of fashion,
When did the lover run out of passion,
My reincarnation time a phoney creation rhyme,
With no destination mine my information's fine,
Why did the voice say don't step on the floor,
Why did the sign say so float through the door,
What is a god of phoney creation,
Where am I going with no destination,
What if the fish came from the sea,
What if my lover made me feel free,
What if my intake caused revelation,
What if the point was reincarnation,
What if my shoes don't match my jacket,
If it's not working why don't you smack it,
What if your mamma said you were fat,
If you are lost find where you're at,
Where is the what if the what is in why,
Where is the what if the what is in why,
Where is the what if the what is in why,
How did the loser get to be rich,
What is a saleman with nothing to pitch,
When did the fool het to be king,
Why did you leave when they asked you to sing,
Why loose belief if you got a dream,
What is a train that ran out of steam,
what is a spy with no-one to spy,
On who do you sleep with nothing to lie on,
What if the fruit don't fall from the tree,
What if these questions just won't let you be,
Why waste your time looking for proof,
What if the answer is never the truth.
*** Thanx a lot to Gérard who corrected some mistakes ***
It was a long night and a tall story
I nearly died of fright
Who shot the go go dancer?
Will we ever know?
I don't know
Hidden track
From here on i'd agree
You belong to me
This here extended play
I made yesterday
It had you in mind
You're there all the time
Constantly
Sugar honey sweet
You belong to me
This here house i've built
Is for me and you
The little kiddies too
Sugar honey sweet
You're coming out to play
*** Thanx a lot to Joaquim for corrected some mistakes ***
Knee deepen*** Thanx a lot to Joaquim for corrected some mistakes ***
If you hear me, baby, blink!
Do you even have the capability left to think?
There seems to be a missing link
Everybody's had a chance to see how far I can sink
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink
If you hear me, baby, blink!
You're just so uptight
I don't suppose you have the energy to put up a fight
You just might implode before I get a chance at cracking the code
Take a good look around
Milk and honey's getting thin on the ground
If you hear me then make a sound
If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink
If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink
There will be no recompense when I'm screaming in the face of your silence
Still I draw a blank
Can't go down any further than I've already sank
If you're not there at all
Someone tell me why I'm talking to the wall
Do you hear me call?
If you continue to ignore these resonable demands
I'll be drawing up a new plan
The future is in your hands
Isn't it a crying shame your little game of hide and seek
Became so tiresome to me sometime last week?
The future is bleak
If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink
If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back
The lights are off
I know you're home
I burn your letters begging me to leave you alone
Keep your privacy
Your inner thoughts mean nothing to me
If you are waiting for me to take on my fair share of the blame
Honey your efforts are in vain
If you hear me call my name
If you hear me, baby, blink!
(If you hear me call your name)
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink [repeat]
If you hear me, baby, blink!
As I try to call you back
As I try to call you back from the brink
Anybody, is there anybody in there?
Is there anybody, anybody in there?
Anybody, is there anybody in there?
Is there anybody?
*** Thanx a lot to Joaquim for corrected some mistakes ***
Tell me dearest enemy what you make of me
I didn't last, so fast you blast kinetic energy
I can't erase the memory
If I put a foot wrong
You could laugh out loud, like you've been laughing to yourself all along
Such lies, sweet hush of lullabies
In a small town loose talk it kind of gets around
I must reject all that I once believed
I've been deceived
Behind my back
I am quietly and suredly under attack
Downsized I guess I shouldn't be surprised
Two faced the time has come to be replaced
Betrayal, tiny minds
Something sinister's going on behind
You were my downfall
See me crawl, one and all
If I could only be a fly on the wall
Nothing is clear
So sincere in my ear
You look so pretty when you sneer
Behind the smile, sweet child
You were grinding your teeth all the while
Betrayed, low grade
Always delayed
Did you ever have the slightest intention to stay?
(Doo duh dee-dum doo duh doo)
*** Thanx a lot to Joaquim
for corrected some mistakes ***
Sorry
Please accept my humble apology
S should've never happened
O oh my god how could I?
R rotten thing to do
R really didn't mean it
Y why'd I have to go and do a thing like that?
I'm sorry, so sorry,
I'm so sorry darling
Sorry
Well?
When you are ready, I will surrender
Take me and do as you will
Have what you want, your way's always the best way
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully falling away
I am the zombie your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees
Can I control this empty delusion?
Lost in the fire below
And you come running your eyes will be open
And when you come back, I'll be as you want me
Only so eager to please
My little song will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I sing
(Sing it back to me)
(Sing it back to me)
No, you can't help it if you have been tempted
By fruit hanging ripe on the tree
And I feel useless
Don't care what the truth is
You will be here come the day
Truth do you hear me?
Don't try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie
If you desire to lay here beside me
Come to my sweet melody
Sing it back to me (sing it)
Bring it back (sing it)
Sing it back (sing it)
Bring it back
Sing it back to me
(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
(Sing it back to me)
Bring it back
Sing it back
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

So if I blaze a trail
Hammer the final nail
So if I shake you off my tail
How can I fail?
Down, pretty bridges burn, all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt
Nausea the vertical climb
A fatal flaw in the design
I can't be sure that you'll open the door to me
The double indemnity
(Burn... burn... burn...)
A mouthful of pleasurable sensation
Shaken by sheer anticipation
Glad you asked me, I had to dash, you see
It's been a blast
(Burn)
All my bridges burn
All my pretty bridges burn
Each one in their turn
All my pretty bridges burn
Burn, pretty bridges burn
All my bridges burn
Will I ever learn?
Watch all my pretty bridges burn
Hysterical look at this chaos
All that I had and all that I lost
You are feeling sleepy
Very very sleepy
Down, pretty bridges burn, all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt
As for the bitter taste
Let it vanish into the flames
Don't let it go to waste
All the places and the names
This is the master stroke
Raised to the ground
And it all goes up in smoke
All my bridges burn
All my bridges burn
All my pretty bridges burn
Each one in their turn
All my pretty bridges burn
Burn, pretty bridges burn
All my bridges burn
Will I ever learn?
Watch all my pretty bridges burn
Down, pretty bridges burn, all my bridges burnt
Burnt down pretty bridges burn all my bridges burnt [x3]

[Fade in chorus]
(You see, it goes like this)
Momma, don't you turn away
Just because I've gone astray
Out of the fire, into the frying pan, this is the story of a sorry man
I have been known to deviate myself from the path that is set
But let us not forget about the man who decided to dedicate his life to the jetset
He is now just a shadow of his former self
And dark clouds hover overhead
The living dead, move over, you see it goes like this
I could be a mover, I could be a shaker, don't you try to get in my way
I'm the heart breaker, the money maker, this will all be mine one day
Well
I myself do not think that such a raw ambition, his disposition
To be a sin in itself, though
Should we not forget about the mess that he got himself in
Where now stands this meek and empty man, there once was a typhoon
Earthquaking, a phenomena, higher than the rest of us
'Cause he was steppin' on us, steppin' over people
And this is how the story goes, folks
I will go undefeated, I'll be protected
You think you're big time, I'll show you big time
Hollerin' and swallowin' air, crawling in the pit of dispair
Once he got his foot in the door,
well you know he was a fast stepper, a bad taste in the mouth kind of guy,
funny fella though, always had a joke or two,
but be careful, the joke could be on you
Did you ever hear the one about the id, the ego, the super ego,
the monumental man sat back to watch his automobile grow
He was a Lamborghini kind of guy, got so high
He would swear he could touch the sky
But the sky was the limit
He was calling, he was crawling, riddled by the immensities of life,
ladies of the night would call all hours of the day, every day, all day,
calling for his mommy when the day was done
Yes, he was moving, he was shaking, so lonesome tonight,
And his eyes belied his smile awhile,
Calling for his mummy but his mummy didn't come
Once he got his foot in the door,
well you know he was a fast stepper, a bad taste in the mouth kind of guy,
funny fella though, always had a joke or two,
but be careful, the joke could be on you
Did you ever hear the one about the id, the ego, the super ego,
the monumental man sat back to watch his automobile grow
He was a Lamborghini kind of guy, got so high
He would swear he could touch the sky
But the sky was the limit
I could be a mover, I could be a shaker, don't you try to get in my way
I'm the heart breaker, the money maker, this will all be mine one day
I will go undefeated, I'll be protected
You think you're big time, I'll show you big time
Hollerin' and swallowin' air, crawling in the pit of dispair

*** Thanx a lot to Joaquim for corrected some mistakes ***
ad Am I out of my depth?
Uninterrupted multiplicity, this is where you lose me
Come again, if you please?
Aluminium lunar luminous is taking over us
Am I missing the point?
This reeling speel, forgive me if I'm wrong
But are you making this up as you go along?
And it bores me to tears
Get a handle on the dialogue
It's a one man show
It's a monologue
I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said
I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said
I can't figure it out
This cascading fountain of nothingness, you're a mess
I simply cannot believe
You met a mighty metamorphous, that's ridiculous
I am somewhat confused
Selected, collected from the gene pool
They can keep you youthful?
Well, excusez-moi, Monsieur Cosmique, je suis protoplasmique, qu'est-ce que c'est?
How can I spell it out for you
I am no ordinary fool
And even though there's nothing left to say
You go ahead and say it anyway
I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said
I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said
I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said
I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said
I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said
I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said
I could be slow I don't know
You just went over my head
I don't understand a word you just said

*** Thanx a lot to Joaquim for corrected some mistakes ***
Some of you will already know there's no place to go
This is the modern man, as good as I am
Here in the heart of the sun my memory melts
Swellegant, elephant pain, he never forgets
Should've been a beautiful thing
Could've been a beautiful thing
Pull over to the side of the road, let the bold be bold
Luxury at a low introductory price, now wouldn't that be nice?
A happy little family puts you in a trance meanwhile back at the ranch
Insatiable hand-held flexible friend, why not give him a chance?
Could've been a beautiful thing
Should've been, could've been a beautiful thing
Promises of pleasure mesmerised, but how far can we get?
At least here in the eye of the storm I won't get my hairdo wet
Some of you have already foreseen yourself undone
Some of you seem to believe you've only just begun
Try a little perjury, get rich quick
My eyes are bigger than my belly is, and it makes me sick
Attitude, so much to prove, should've been a beautiful thing
Some of you will already know, and I'm still wondering
Should've been a beautiful thing
Could've been a beautiful thing
I could've been, should've been, could've been a beautiful thing
Could've been a beautiful thing
Should've been, would've been a beautiful thing
(How we love to disguise)
*** Thanx a lot to Joaquim for corrected some mistakes ***
*** Thanx a lot to Kitty for all the last LP lyrics !! ***
Yeah.
Gotta get me some
Gotta get me instant gratification.
Gimme new kicks,
Won't you show me new tricks
Without the ramifications.
Give it a try, don't be shy.
Well you know you might like it.
Never been to keen a timekeeper
But I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.
All the way from Venus.
Invading from Mars.
Don't let that come between us.
It's written in the stars.
Save me from fading afraid.
The tears of a fool on parade.
Quietly turn into stone.
Make me flesh and bone.
Well come on, oh.
You know that you want it now
Well come on, yeah.
You know that you want it and how.
Stimulation in body and cell.
For the good and misguided.
Desperation I'm under your spell.
Misunderstood and derided.
Speculation they kiss and they
tell.
Misjudged and misquoted.
Fell into the abyss
I must have wanted this.
Another myth exploded.
Take a weight off your mind.
Trust the voice of experience.
I'll tell you little white lies.
Viva indifference.
Stoke up the fire
I'm all you require.
They won't set you alight.
Come and live your desire.
Come make me whole.
Body and soul, come make me whole ...
YEAH.
Well come on, oh, oh.
You know that you want it now.
Well come on, oh.
You know that you want it and how.
Well come yeah
You know that you want it now.
Well come yeah
You know that you want it now.
Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.
Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.
Be crime against passion
Not to itch that itch
Oh don't ask how it happened
This is it
All we have ever wanted
All we will ever need
Nothing can take his plan
It's written all over your face
Yeah
You know that you want it now
Come on
Oh ah you know that you want it how.
Come on
Yeah you know that you want it now.
Come on
Oh ah you know that you want it how.
Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.
Come make me whole
Body and soul ....
*** Thanx a lot to Linda & Joaquim who updated this one ***
Well it's a silly thing
That I've been wondering
Shall we drink a toast to
Absent minded friends
To all who turn the corner and
To those who went round the bend
Everybody raise your glasses
Drink and drown
Melancholy for the masses
Love come down
Well it's a silly thing
That I've been wondering
Maybe you will never
Bbridge the gulf
Baby you are just too sensitive
Are you numb enough?
Can we ever feel this
Impending void?
Have we become what we intended
To avoid?
Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking.
Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching
Have you ever laughed till your heart is breaking.
Well it'a a silly thing that I've
been wondering.
Love is always riddled with
Selfishness
Few will find joy In their
Big success
From the sublime to the ridiculous in the
Blink of an eye.
Funny all too funny
You're a funny guy
If it'a too much to feel
Come this way my friend
Try to keep it unreal
Feels good to let yourself descend to pretend
We can transcend our everyday existances
No distances
How did we come undone?
Became what we've become
Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching.
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking.
Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching.
Have you ever laughed till your heart is breaking.
How did we come undone?
Have you ever smiled for too long?
Till you're aching.
Became what we've become
Have you ever laughed till you cried?
Till your heart is breaking.
How did we come undone?
Have you ever smiled for too long?
Became what we've become
Have you ever laughed till your heart is breaking.
How did we come undone?
Became what we've become
How did we come undone?
Became what we've become

Hands Free
Nothing touches me
Transmit, remote, unseen, unknown.
She's glad to be so very happy.
We've placed your call into a queuing system.
Listen to the pretty musik play let it numb your fragile system.
She had a friend to call her own.
But now she spends her time alone
What of the cost of growing up
Put me on hold to shut me up.
Just being is bewildering
Disconnect me from what is mine
Call waiting, waiting on the other line.
At you leisure dear.
Come get your pleasure here
I'm so glad to be so very happy.
And if you need something, anybody, anything.
Just being is bewildering.
Call me dial l o v e.
Just being is bewildering.
I'll do as I please, I won't get down on bended knees.
Kiss and. Make up. Don't you. Hang
up.
Stay and. Play out. The whole scene.
Try to stay calm. How long.
Do you. Hold on. Do you. Dare to dream.
Just being is bewildering
Just
being is bewildering
Just being is bewildering
Just
being is bewildering
Change my face
But it won't erase
I changed my heart
When my soul changed hands
What if, when I
find myself?
Made new plans.
I don't really like myself?
Underhand.
What if when I look inside?
Change my
name.
I don't like much what I find?
But I remain the
same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.
Change my course.
But I can't change my
ways
D I V O R C E.
Will you count the days
What if,
when I find myself?
Change my tune.
I don't really like
myself?
But I stand on shifting sand.
What if when I
look inside?
When I change my name.
My heart was
changing hands.
Baby you'll never understand.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.
If I, if I could just
Slip from the net
Try to forget
I hang my head
In regret
If I, if I could just
But it's too much
Slip from my skin
I try again
Another
new beginning
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Try again, another new beginning.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
Change my name I remain the same.
I remain the same, I remain the same, I remain the same.
*** Thanx a lot to Linnea who corrected some mistakes ***
I feel like
A drop in
The ocean
Just a ripple
On expanding seas
If the shoe fits
I swear It
I will wear It
By this shining stiletto
I do decree
I'm half full and my glass is empty
Say so long and wave goodbye.
I've been searching
For new ways to get lost
There's got to be someplace
Somewhere I'll
never be found
I can fend for myself
Can pretend to myself
I will play the wild rover
Though my horse may be blind
I'm half full and my glass In
empty
Say so long and
wave goodbye
All the binds that tie are there for a reason
You won't fond the prairie. It's folly to try.
Oh Yeah... Yeah Oh Yeah
Dumb dumb. So sweet so young.
You're not supposed to swallow your bubble gum.
Chicken foot,
dim suts
Knuckle head. Knuckle head
Look what you've done
Dumb
dumbing it down
Take a look around.
You and me are free to be the dumbest in
town.
Young gun. Excuse the pun.
The pandemonium has just begun
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Got a head full of cotton wool
But life
for me. Is never dull
To fulfi you have
to fill full
I turned around and bought a
round and poured another one
Proud fool you're just too cool for school
Full
moon come soon
And when the moon is
not quite round
Where can the missing bit
be found
Be proud to be profound.
Dumb dumb
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Devoid
We are malcontent
We're not
entirely sure of our intent
Brain washed
we suffer memory loss
Ho hum play
dumb come little boy lost.
Time bomb is ticking
Quickening, quickening quickening, quickening, quickening..
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down.
Dumb dumb.
We're dumbing it down...
You're my last breath
You're a breath of fresh air to me
Hi, I'm empty
So tell me you care for me
You're the first thing
And the last thing on my mind
In your arms
I feel
Sunshine
On a promise
A day dream yet to come
Time is upon us
Oh but the night is young
Flowers
blossom
In the winter time
In your arms I feel
Sunshine
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last
You may find yourself
Out on a limb for me
Could you expect it as
A part of your destiny
I give all I have
But it's not enough
And my patience is shot
So I'm calling your bluff
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment ... last
And we gave it time
All eyes are on the clock
But time takes too much time
Please make the waiting stop
And the atmosphere is charged.
In you I trust.
And I feel no fear as I
Do as I must.
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last.
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment last
Tempted by fate
And I won't hesitate
The time is now
And I can't wait
I've been empty too long
The time is now
The tender night has gone
And the time has gone
Let's make this moment last
And the night is young
The time is now.
Let's make this moment last.
Give up yourself unto the moment
The time is now
Give up yourself unto the moment
Let's make this moment ... last.

Mother dear you'll never be my
sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Show me
Empathy
Californian sensibilities
All my problems spring from my troubled upbringing
We need to go right back to the beginning
Disposessed from the outset
What you need is precisely what you get
Mother dear it should be you that's sitting here
On this couch.
Ouch.
Mother dear you'll never be my
sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my shoulder you're a chip
On my foot you're a blister
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
So tell me what am I gonna do
They told me that maybe I could sue
And oh how the many
Were corrupted by the few
So I dance the mambo and the cha cha cha
I run you over in my beautiful car
Dearest darling mummy dearest
We can't bear to have you near us.
Mother dear you'll never be my
sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my shoulder you're a chip
On my foot you're a blister
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
The blame lies in the family name
It's not my fault I did as I was taught
Escape to Mongolia or Timbuktu
I know somehow, somewhere
I'll be bumping into you
You see, I'm
blameless
I had a mother who was shameless
No wonder my life collapsed
See I'm aimless
With all this analysis
I think I'm having a relapse
Mother dear you'll never be my
sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my shoulder you're a chip
On my foot you're a blister
Mother dear you'll never be my
sister
Seek the advice of a solicitor
Mother dear you'll never be my sister
On my shoulder you're a chip
On my foot you're a blister
We love
you
We do
We've taken advice
We may sue
You see I'm blameless
I shall remain nameless
You can't run away from the past
I know what her game is
But I've forgotten what my name is
I'm just too frightened to ask
Tell me what did you expect
What you made is precisely what you get
Precisely what you get
Precisely what you get
*** Thanx a lot to Daniel who corrected a mistake ***

Act like you don't know me

At all
Nothing seems to matter

You've got something to hide
The party is humming
Something there's something inside
Makes you act like you're slumming
All right I might give you a try
But I know that I'll live to regret it
Go on spin me a line
I have cause to expect it
Lead me then lead me astray
Romeos tend to have eyes that stray
What will you say? What will you
say?
What will you say when I ask you to stay?
Someone somewhere
There's more to you than meets the eye
Someone somewhere
Someone somewhere you left behind
Sweet child learn to relax
It's already decided
Sit back don't tamper with fate
Our stars have collided
Would you dance with me baby
The party is swinging
Don't just whistle the tune
When you should be singing
Easy momaceeta
Lay down next to me
Inside there somewhere your spirit is free
Frigid little Bridget
Lay down next to me
You're shaking, you're waking
Your spirit is free
Someone somewhere
There's more to you than meets the eye

Someone somewhere you left behind

I never doubted it
What’s for you will not pass you by

It was decided before I asked why
It’s all there ever was
And it’s all there ever will be
How could you have questioned us?
It’s yourself you deceive

Hush now
No need to say the words
At first sight you perfectly heard
Love in all its entirety
Is no less than we deserve
I saw, your face
Some place
I felt this feeling before
Is it deja vu?
Do I somehow know you?

Come on
Is this me
Breaking free
Or just breaking down ha ha
A comic vision
Don’t you feel proud
It’s such a
How do
You do
Well this is not the done thing
Dance for me Baby let’s begin the beguin
Ha ha ha ha ha
Do you remember the way we danced
I wish I could forget it
Said I’d give you the one last chance
I wish I’d never said it
Took a chance and I can’t turn back
And I’m living to regret it
Come on, come on to me
Can’t slow down
You dictate
The speed of the chase
Bitter sweet bitter’s
The way that you taste
I won’t waste this
Passion, it’s true
I’m an everyday fool
No rhyme or reason to the
Things that I do
Ha ha ha ha ha
Do you remember the way we danced
I wish I could forget it
Said I’d give you the one last chance
I wish I’d never said it
Took a chance and I can’t turn back
And I’m living to regret it
Come on, come on to me
Feed me
All your lies
Yes it’s a gas
A word to the wise
You’re blindingly obvious lately
Doctor
Cure me
Somebody take away this
Seed of the devil
In the core of his kiss
Ha ha ha ha ha
Do you remember the way we danced
I wish I could forget it
Said I’d give you the one last chance
I wish I’d never said it
Took a chance and I can’t turn back
And I’m living to regret it
Come on, come on to me
And some things
Got built in
Their own punishment
The repercussions
Will sure enough be felt
Ha ha ha ha ha
That which does not kill
Will make you stronger
No longer
In these Eyes
It’s denial
No long or short
Goodbyes
Baby you came close

Do you remember the way we danced
I wish I could forget it
Said I’d give you the one last chance
I wish I’d never said it
Took a chance and I can’t turn back
And I’m living to regret it
Come on, come on to me
No one’s stopping you
We should’ve stopped at the start
At the start
Should have parted
Do it finish me off
Ha ha ha ha ha
If it’s the end
The end
Then let me play the last tune
Begin the beguin
And play the notes of my doom
Ha ha ha ha ha
Again
Cannot contain this
Don’t put yourself down
Don’t be hard on yourself
You didn’t do wrong, baby don’t
Blame yourself
I know how you feel
I’ve been there myself
It’s what the devil my fare
What do you care
Can you control yourself?
I won’t stick around
To watch you get colder
I know I couldn’t be told,
Don’t suppose
Now I’m a little older
The fault was all mine
I don’t blame you if you blame me
I know I was wrong
I just cannot contain this
I just cannot, just cannot contain this
I just cannot, just cannot contain this
I just cannot, just cannot contain this
I just cannot, just cannot contain this
Just cannot contain this
Just cannot contain this
I just cannot contain this
Just cannot contain this
I just cannot contain this
And if it’s a crime
Then can you explain to me
Where do I belong
I just cannot contain this
Can, not
Con tain this
Just cannot con tain this
Just cannot contain this.....
I just cannot, just cannot contain this
I just cannot, just cannot contain this
I just cannot, just cannot contain this
I just cannot, just cannot contain this
I just cannot contain this
Just cannot contain this
I just cannot contain this
Just cannot contain this
I just cannot contain this
Can, not
Con tain this
Just can not.........
Statues
So goodnight my dear
Hope you’re feeling well
Hope your’re feeling very clear
In this song and rhyme
Thoughts of changes that
Keep ourselves intact
And yes
It’s hard to fake but I’m faltering
In the steps I’m about to take
I am sure it’s true
What is all for me is much the same to you
If all the statues in the world
Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl
Would they be kind enough to comfort me
The setting sun is set in stone
And it remains for me alone
To carve my own and set it free
So we wait and see
How this backward chapter reads
In verse inadvertently
And it feels like fading light
But that’s all that’s left
Only what’s left is right
If all the statues in the world
Would turn to flesh with teeth of pearl
Would they be kind enough to comfort me
The setting sun is set in stone
And it remains for me alone
To carve my own and set it free
Jumping from a balloon
A carried aloft by a parachute in June
Twisting round and round
Well I hope the ground is what you find
The setting sun is set in stone
And it remains for me alone
To carve my own and set it free
Forever more
What if I drown in this sea of devotion
Just a stone left unturned
My need is deep
Wide endless oceans
Feel it furious
The fire burns on
Let there be love
Everlasting
And it will live eternally
Will we receive without ever asking?
I’m just curious
Got to find me somebody
But there’s nobody
To love me
And it’s driving me crazy
There’s nobody to love me
Somebody tell me
How could there be nobody
To love me
And it’s driving me crazy
There’s nobody to love me
Somebody tell me
How could there be nobody
Nobody to love me
And this life is so empty
There’s nobody to love me
Endless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Endless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Endless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Endless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
And if I drown in this sea of devotion
Just a stone left unturned
My need is deep
Wide endless oceans
Feel it furious
The fire burns on
Let there be love
Everlasting
And it will live eternally
Will we receive without ever asking?
I’m just curious
Don’t want to see me crying
Just want to see me flying
I need to get so high and
Want somebody to blow my mind
Don’t want to see me crying
Just want to see me flying
I need to get so high and
Want don’t you blow my mind
Blow my mind
Blow my mind
Got to find me somebody
But there’s nobody
To love me
Anybody could love me
And it’s driving me crazy
There’s nobody to love me
Anybody could love me
Somebody to hold my hand
Someone who understands
Somebody to help me write
The poetry of life
Someone to love me
Someone who loves me
Ooh Baby
Enless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Enless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Enless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Enless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more
Got to find me somebody
But there’s nobody
To love me
And it’s driving me crazy
There’s nobody to love me
Most every feeling
To feel most every feeling
Blow by blow
I can’t forgive and
I can’t forget
It’s never simple that way
Too proud to let you know
Oh know I wish it was so
It frightens me to say
Why don’t I let sombody new
Take me home
Lately I feel so alone
Somebody new would make it easier
For me to let you go
Oh no
So be it
Let it be so
It’s better this way Baby
Well you can take me down
What a way to go
Blow by Blow
It’s how it always happens
In the throws of passion
Is it any wonder
It’s no wonder at all
Just to live a lifetime
In the space of a lifetime
Well it’s the hardest thing to do
But there’ll be nothing after you
Blow by Blow
Kill me slow
Blow by Blow
What a way to go
Hey hey hey..........
You didn’t mean those things you said
You didn’t mean those things
100%
Sure as a circle
Just keeps coming round
Sure as we’ve reached
The speed of sound
Sure as the sun will rise
In the morning sky
We’ll never say it, never say goodbye
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Je t’adore
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Just as there’s beauty
In everyday things
There is joy universal
When the bird sings
As sure as there’s changes
We will all stay the same
The immortal pose
Just pictures in a frame
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Je t’adore
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Je t’adore
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Je t’adore
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Je t’adore
Show me amore
Trust in every sign
So be gone the space between us
There’s no doubt in heart and mind
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Je t’adore
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Je t’adore
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Je t’adore
Now I know it will be
A hundred percent certainty
I’m giving you more
You can be sure
A hundred percent
Sure as a circle
Just keeps coming round
The speed of sound
Sure as the sun will rise
In the morning sky
We’ll never say it, never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
The only ones
If often in the still of night
Thoughts turn out twisted
Well unwind
Uncurl and lay the worries of the world
By any fire you find
Dreamers only believers in their sleep
Under archievers take a leap
Tell her the secrets that you keep
So close and yet too far out
Maybe someday you’ll hear
Sweet somethings whispered softly
Into your ear
To those with afflictions
Prone to addictions
To users and to losers
Doubters and their daughters and sons
Your Angel will come
Maybe she’s come and gone
Already lost the one
What have you done
You lost the only one
If you came from something
And you’re headed nowhere
Out on the run
Allow this thought to crystallise
It is better in the long run
To never get there
And let the journey decide
In all this doom and this gloom
And pessimistical visions
Came all condemned men
All fatalists in metaphysical fear
How could love be here
To those with afflictions
Prone to addictions
To users and losers
Doubters and their daughters and sons
Your Angel will come
And to those with intentions
In all three dimensions
To jokers and to the joke
Doubters and their daughters and sons
(maybe you’ve found the one)
Maybe she’s come and gone
I want you
I want you
Though you dare to deny it
I’m always reminded of you
And the more you forbid me
The more I need you to give me
Morning comes upon us
To impose another day
Though I might try to force myself to sleep
Why should I
Face up to
Another waking day
When there’s a chance you’ll come to me
In dreams
The world just keeps
Right on
Turning anyway
While I stay home and watch the shadow play
Innocence is lost into the dark
If I were dynamite would you provide the spark?
Oh
I want you
Though you dare to deny it
I am always reminded of you
And the more you forbid me
The more I need you to give me
I don’t know what to do
If you dare to deny it
I’m always reminded of you
And the more you forbid me
The more I need you to give me
If only you could see my life
Turning inside out
A heart that keeps attacking me
Always in my mouth
And if my skin were glass my love
You would see a heart that keeps on beating
Only in the hope that you’ll return, to me
I don’t know what to do
Though you dare to deny it
I’m always reminded of you
And the more you forbid me
The more I need you to give me
I want you
Though you dare to deny it
I am always reminded of you
And the more you forbid me
The more I need you to give me
I don’t know what to do
Though you dare to deny it
I’m always reminded of you
And the more you forbid me
The more I need you to give me
I want you
I am always reminded of you
I want you
Always reminded of you
Reminded of you
Always reminded of you
Over and over
No I won’t interfere
I’m the only sound you’ll ever need to hear
Listen to my breath so near
Allow me to be every noise in your ear
Since that day I wake up early
Every morning which is good
But my stomach’s churning, call me,
It would be nice if you could
Some days I question
The suggestion
You might not exist at all
Can we meet and talk it over
Would you be kind enough to call
Over and over
It’s over all over
And over and over and over
And over.....
No there’s no middle ground
Your off in another story
Or merry-go-round
No there’ll be no measured terms
You fly in the face of the way the world turns
Like a frozen tidal wave
Since that day I’m standing still
You brought me here and I accept
Though you regret I never will
Just one sweet word
And then a smile from you
Is almost worth everything
I’ve given all I had to give
But you gave up giving in
You are everywhere I go
All the places we have been
I can’t imagine where you are
For you are all I’ve ever seen
Over and over.....
All I’ve ever known
All I’ve ever seen
Places that I go
Places that we’ve been
( Beatles Cover / Live )
I read the news today oh, boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before,
Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords
I saw a film today oh, boy
The english army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had a look
Having read the book,
I'd love to turn... on
Turn... you... on...
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Ah...
I read the news today oh, boy
Four thousand holes in blackburn, lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all,
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall
I'd love to turn... on...
I'd love to... turn... you... on

Are
'Friends' electric
( Random: Gary Numan Tribute )
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
And now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this
And there's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you
So now I'm alone
And now I can think for myself
About little deals
And S.U's
And things I just don't understand
A white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you
So I open the door
It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway
'Please sit down'
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed
You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love
So I found out your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
It must be time to leave
You see it meant everything to me
Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no-one to love

Bankrupt emotionally
( Catalogue Lp )
You’re just playing with me
Bankrupt emotionally
So you sent me cold hearts and dead flowers
Can I send it back
You splash out on some fancy perfume
In a beautiful, but a rented room
And it takes bitter grapes to make it
Our finest wine.
And your far out, far-flung philosophies
Could not be further from my mind
In actuality
Bankrupt emotionally
You promised me you’d fly me to the moon
You are late, I’m still waiting
All of one we need to (?)
but seriously, that drift with me (?)
Get off my cloud
it’s reserved for an angel with darker wings
If it’s so important to you, can’t you wait
Can’t you just give in
In actuality
You’re just playing with me
The facts are there to see
Bankrupt emotionally
In actuality
You’re just playing with me
The facts are there to see
Bankrupt emotionally
In actuality
You’re just playing with me
The facts are there to see
Bankrupt emotionally
You're just playing with me
Bankrupt emotionally

Burnin'
To my surprise, one hundred stories high
People getting loose yo', getting down on the roof
The folks were flaming, out of control
It was so entertaining when the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn, disco inferno
Burn baby burn, burn that mother down
Burnin'
Satisfaction came in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody's going strong
And I flame 'til the spark goes hot
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn, disco inferno
Burn baby burn, burn that mother down
Burn baby burn, disco inferno
Burn baby burn, burn that mother down
Burnin'
Up above my head
I hear music in the air
That makes me know
There's a party somewhere
Satisfaction comes in a chain reaction
I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
The heat was on, rising to the top
Everybody's going strong,
So I have played 'til the spark goes hot
I heard somebody say
burn baby burn, disco inferno
Burn baby burn, burn that mother down
Burn baby burn
Burnin'

It's the wrong time, and the wrong place
Though your face is lovely, it's the wrong face
It's not his face, but such a charming face
That if some you're free
It's the wrong song, in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not his smile, but such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone, too?
It's the wrong game, with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting,
they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips, but they're such tempting lips
That it's alright with me
Then it's alright, yes, it's alright with me...

Do you belong to what you're hanging on to?
Are you caught in a loop?
What is wrong with you?
You keep making do
Have you given up on hope?
I could be your antidote
Are you lost in a state of anxiety?
Just let it be
Excuse me, please
I'm just so happy I could scream
Adjust your mindset, do the same
All that you lost will be regained
Never ever enough, its never enough
Is it ever enough, when its just enough?
If its never enough, why do we hang up on love?
Enough is enough, never enough
Never ever enough, its never enough
Is it ever enough, when its just enough?
If its never enough, why do we hang up on hope?
Enough is enough, never enough
Pure, we're pure as we're driven
But I know there's only one way to go
So dream, its just human kindness
If we run and we hide it will find us, theres nowhere to go
Excuse me please
I'm just so happy I could scream
Adjust your mindset, do the same
All that you lost will be regained
Never ever enough, it's never enough
Is it ever enough, when its just enough?
If it's never enough, why do we hang up on love?
Enough is enough, never enough
Never ever enough, it's never enough
Is it ever enough, when it's just enough?
If it's never enough, why do we hang up on love?
Enough is enough, never enough
I came forth to rest your fear
There to catch your falling tears
Begin and ending no more pretending
Try descending into me
When it comes to say goodbye
Say your final end desire
Well, enough is enough and youre hung up
Feel what you feel, baby
Never ever enough, it's never enough
Is it ever enough, when it's just enough?
If it's never enough, why do we hang up on love?
Enough is enough, never enough

Pins, needles and butterflies
Into deeper pools I dive
To re-emerge
Almost submerged
Ultraviolet
Is it slight of hand
Or the surest touch
You caught me as I fell
And put me on a pedestal
Can you be sure that’s right?
My king of hearts
Are we the only two
To feel so powerless
And yet so powerful
And all at once
We are all at one
So take my hand and
We’ll explore a land of mellow truthfulness
Something deep in you
Touches something
So deep in me
And suddenly destiny
Lays down in front of me
It’s what I
Was designed to do
To touch something so deep in you
And suddenly awake sleeping sensitivity
I was a run away
But what was I running too
You stopped me in my tracks
When I turned back
All I could see is you
The wind
telling tales of golden histories
Whispering among the trees
Of heaven and it’s mysteries
And soon
We two will commune
Like the spheres of sun and moon
The perfume of the rose in bloom
Something deep in you
Touches something
So deep in me
And suddenly destiny
Lays down in front of me
It’s what I
Was designed to do
To touch something so deep in you
Suddenly awake sleeping sensitivity...

Go ...
Go to the mountain if you must
Go to the burning bush
Happy would ease your troubled mind
How do the fade just stay behind?
I know you better than you think I do
Don't worry babe.. this is why i fell in love with you
The man in the looking glass
Is looking back at you at last
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide
If happy times are too few and far between
It's a pity dear, we can't erase the things we've seen
So disappear, vanish if you wish
Just go before you're swallowed up by bitterness
And the truth is you can't hide from the truth
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
I realized some time ago that I would have to let you go
May not be true to see that you would return one day
But in your present state you may as well not be here at all
You wear a thin disguise, it's from yourself you hide
Just take a look at us, we are heading for a fall
Now presiding in this quarter: hip-hop
Justice, my rap forté
Judge, jury, bailing for prosecuting D.A.
Et ceteras, paraphas
My modus operende
It's carpe diem whether the fact or word is your way
Comprende?
The people versus, you ain't no Sensi
Teaching that style of word-play
We got the words they
Regardless of what your friends say
They're all disable
Striken from the record and deemed indimissable
And this long arm of the law grabs a mighter
Shoot dope lines first and ask questions later
The death sentence of this live litagator
Close the case tighter than the jaws of a 'gator
Stenonographer, that study law again, the jargon
Let your counselors 'a barking, in hopes of a plea bargain
But when you read back verbatim
What they're saying to pursuade them
They realize exactly how i've played them
I come with the truth, whole truth and nothing but
'Cause the truth hurts just as much as fuckin' with lies will
I brew skill with free fills from now until
Plagerizing MC's get their flows distilled
Baby I don't die without you by my side
As long as you return into these arms that burn
Baby I won't die just take a look inside
Into these eyes that burn, come to these arms that yearn
I won't die, if you leave me high
I won't die if you're not by my side
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
And the truth hurts because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth, cause the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth
Because the truth is all there is
You can't hide from the truth..
