Leaving the city

Wish I was taking you with me

No more goodbyes,
No more goodbyes,
Tell me to stay home

There’s no place
No more goodbyes,
No more goodbyes,
Tell me to stay home

I’m leaving…I’m leaving

No more goodbyes,
No more goodbyes,
Tell me to stay home

I’m leaving…I’m leaving

There’s no place
I’m leaving…I’m leaving
There’s no place
No more goodbyes

No exotic country
I found my journey’s end
When I found you
Don’t let me go
Won’t leave town
Or go around
If you say so
Won’t leave you no if you say so

Can’t stay always going away
Never knowing the way home
Another hour
Another day
Surely we
Will find a way somehow

We’re leaving the city today
Leaving the city
Soon I will be gone
Leaving the city today
Soon I will be gone

Leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
I’m leaving
I’m leaving

No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
I’m leaving
I’m leaving

There’s no place
There’s no place
There’s no place
There’s no place
There’s no place

There’s no place I’d rather be
Than here dear
If I call you dear, it’s because you are

There’s no face
I’d rather see
There’s no fear
Don’t be afraid to say
Stay another day
Then another day

Don’t be afraid to say it
Or hold on
Don’t be gone too long baby
Another kiss
One more caress
An ego, no
Another yes

We’re leaving the city today
There’s something still left here to say
A D F C A F
D F C E D C D

We’re leaving the city today
Why can’t I get you to ask me stay?
Don’t you want to let the music play
D F C E D C D

We’re leaving the city today
Is there something i’ve left here to say?
Don’t you want to let the music play
A D F C A F D F C E D C D

Soon I will be gone
I’m leaving
I’m leaving
Don’t you want to let the music play?

Soon I will be gone

Sinking feeling

Deep in
Quick sand
You dive in
At the shallow end
You break your
Neck and
You’re never ever gonna get up again

The glass house that you lived in
Is deep in the quickening
Angels might call by
But fools they rush in

Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day

Here in my hand
Time is just sand
Fine lines of love and hate
There on your face
But I look at this way
In the next seven days
In the next
It might just change

How can I write
The story that
Went and wrote itself
Down on paperback
Called “the foutain of know thyself”
It’s a lonely book
Still upon the shelf

It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and ride
On the waves of a sinking feeling

Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day

Happy people don’t give into
Happy people don’t give into
That sinking feeling

It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail

It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
On the waves

It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
On the waves
Of a sinking feeling

Night of the dancing flame

Curiosity
The young and the free
There for all to see
Entranced
Burned by the flame
Have your senses taken leave
Into the fire of true belief
It’s the orgy of the free

It was at first as
If they were shadows
Shimmering visions
By the light of the dancing flame
Bodies in motion
The sound of the ocean
Came into vision
On the night of the dancing flame

What of your own free will
Bodies are writhing still
There in the moonlight
With my head up help high
Wish I could keep on walking by
But I
Find myself drawn to you
I let you do what you want to do
You had your wicked way
There on the site of the dancing flame

It was at first as
If they were shadows
Shimmering visions
By the light of the dancing flame
Bodies in motion
The sound of the ocean
Came into vision
On the night of the dancing flame

To dance around the fire
On the night of the dancing flame
To make the flame grow higher
In the light of the dancing flame

To dance around the fire
On the night of the dancing flame
To make the flame grow higher
In the light of the dancing flame

Oh that starry night
Lost my sense of time
I don’t know how I
Got my fingers burned

Maybe I got too close
To the light of the
To the light of the
To the light of the dancing flame

The light of the
The light of the
The light of the dancing flame

Through time

Now the time has elapsed
It inevitably has come to pass
That I write for you at last
A song, a rhyme
Oh, to tell you the truth of it
I’m a little confused myself
Is it through memory’s rose-tinted glass
I have come to ask
Or is it a love that was meant to last
Through time itself

Proving us wrong all along
Shouldn’t we be holding on
It’s a silly thing really
That you shouldn’t believe in
Nothing too complicated
Endlessly formulated
Foolish romantic ideals of love

Could there be such a thing
How could there be such a thing
As beautifully flawed
We’ll make mistakes and then
Life is the art of learning to live with it
Through time

But you knew it
All along
You who are wiser than I
See it coming
See it coming
See it coming
Every time

How did you predict
The end of the world
When you can’t see beyond
The end of your nose
Would you look at the life I chose
Baby it’s you I need to tell it to
Maybe no other will ever do
Through time

Shouldn’t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Shouldn’t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Shouldn’t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Shouldn’t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Proving us wrong all along

Ideals of love
Foolish romantic
Ideals of love

Could there be such a thing
How could there be such a thing
As beautifully flawed
Ideals of love

Sow into you

Sow into you
Into you
Into you

What the...
What the...
Did you do to me
Heavy cloud come down on
When all of heaven’s bliss
Is in this perfect kiss
Rain down on me

Bring me a change in the weather
Break open the sky
Heat keeps building
It’s hot in the city
And I’m not sleeping at night
Can I get relief

I am a lyrical soul
Bound to get carried away
But there’s nothing left to say
‘cept I I I I I
I am a lyrical soul
I I I I I love you

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss of rain

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you up into it
Is this how it feels to kiss the same

I chose you for your wave
Frequency
You take me up against
The freak in me
Just tell me what you
X X X expect of me
Expect of me

I am a lyrical soul
Bound to get carried away
But I think it’s fair to say
You Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Love me

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss of rain

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you up into it
Is this how it feels to kiss the same

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss of rain

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you up into it
Is this how it feels to kiss the same

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss of rain

And I think it’s here to stay
Sow into
Though I’m bound to get carried away
I’ll bring you
But I think it’s here to stay
Though I’m bound to get carried away

Dear diary

Dear diary
My dear
Got to keep it all inside
Got to keep it locked behind a
Golden wall of silence
You see I have my pride
And I won’t be telling him
Anytime soon
Too afraid to say it
I wouldn’t want to embarrass myself
Telling everybody the truth

No I
I won’t send this valentine
Violets are blue
And if you don’t receive this valentine
It doesn’t mean that is ain’t true
And I’m not thinking of you

Won’t kiss
I won’t tell
Never cross these lips
Never break the spell
I decided to go on denying myself
Living alone
Living a lie

No I
I won’t send this valentine
Violets are blue
And if you don’t receive this valentine
It doesn’t mean that is ain’t true
And I’m not thinking of you
No I

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

To never speak of it
Or hear the music of it
We’ll play a symphony
In my wildest dreams

No I
I won’t send this valentine
Violets are blue
And if you don’t receive this valentine
It doesn’t mean that is ain’t true
And I’m not thinking of you

No I
I won’t send this valentine
Violets are blue
And if you don’t receive this valentine
It doesn’t mean that is ain’t true
And I’m not thinking of you

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

If we're in love

If we’re in love
If we’re in love
If we’re in love

If we’re in love
If we’re in love
If we’re in love
We should make love

Where the sun it never sets
And where the wind forgets
I will forget you
Where the sky goes on for miles
And never ties
Of an improbable blue
When the supreme mysteries
Decide to reveal all to us
And make an endless night
Still I will come to remember

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we could make love
When will that be?

I’m gonna forget you
When the rivers stop and turn to run
To where they’ve begun
Back up the mountainside
When the sun it comes to the night to play
And like I do just sleep all day
When the moon and the stars turn to the light
Not in the dark of night
But in the morning sky
When the roses turn to bloom
Not in June
But in the bitter cold of December
There’s not a
There’s not a joy in this whole world to give
There’s not a joy
As lovely as the bird that flew away

Last night I
Last night I
I think I dreamt a
Beautiful song
But when I woke
The birds had flown
And it was gone

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we could make love
When will that be?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will that be?

If we’re in love
If we’re in love

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we could make love
When will that be?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we
If we’re in love we should make love
If we
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will that be?

Ramalama (bang bang)

Bang, bang !

Could a body close the mind out
Stitch a seam across the eye
If you can be good, you’ll live forever
If you’re bad, you’ll die when you die

Hearing only one true note
On the one and only sound
Unzip my body
Take my heart out
'Cause I need a beat to give this tune

Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of

Oh the body swayed to music
Oh the lightning glance
If I would give it all and all
Maybe you would hear me
Ask for half a chance

Hearing only one root note
Planted firmly in the ground
Undo my heart, unzip my body and
Lend to my ear a clear and a deafening sound

Unzip my heart

And if I need a rhythm
It’ll be to my heart I listen
If it don’t get me too far wrong

And if I
And if I
And if I need a rhythm
It’s gonna be to my heart I listen
If it don’t take me too far gone

Everybody smile please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography

Taking a picture of you
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture

Ruby Blue

You’d better stop
And try to think
Look what you’re doing
Oh, Ruby

You never get to give it all you got
Cause you forgot to take it to the top
Oh Ruby Blue

Why do you make a start
With no means to go on
It’s on the tip of your
Ruby, we used to love you truly
You used to make us laugh
It really was a gas
But now you’re a bore

One
Two
Three
But now you’re a bore

It was you
And them
And me
Look what you do
Oh, Ruby Blue

Check yourself
Do you get me
Do you get me
Do you get me
Do you get me
Do you get me

You’d better stop
And try to think
Look what you’re doing
Oh, Ruby

You never get to give it all you’ve got
Cause you forgot to take it to the top
Oh, Ruby Blue

Nobody cares anyway
If you play the painted lady
Four and more
Five and six
Who would have believed
It would come to this
Look what you do
Oh, Ruby Blue

Check yourself

You’d better stop
And try to think
Look what you’re doing
Oh, Ruby

You never get to
Give it all you’ve got cause you forgot
To take it to the top
Oh Ruby Blue

One

Three
Look what you’re doing
Oh Ruby
Nobody's there anyway
It was you
And them
And me

Look what you do
Oh, Ruby Blue

Off on it

You know that you like it
You know that you love it, really, ha ha
It’s just a game that we play
It’s a world away from your everyday pain
And your suffering
It’s just a game, my darling please

Please don’t go to the trouble
No no not on account of me
For I’m sure to bring double
Sure to bring double
I’ll bring you to your knees

Might you be getting off on it

You, you were asking for this
And now you’re gonna get it
You were begging me, please
Don’t be surprised if you

One big joke
Don’t be surprised if you get it
I’ll just all one big joke
It’s all mirrors and smoke
A not so elaborate hoax
You know how
One thing tends to
Lead to another
Before you know where you are
You’re there, tied to the chair
You’re going nowhere
Might you be getting off on it

It’s just a game
Not your everyday pain
It’s just a game

It’s just a game
It’s a world away from your everyday pain
And your suffering
It’s just a game

Don’t you get off on it
Don’t you get off on it
Don’t you get off on it...

Off on it
Off on it
Off on it...

It’s just a game
It’s a world away from your everyday pain
And your suffering
It’s just a game

It’s just a game
Everyday pain

It’s just a game
It’s a world away from your everyday pain
And your suffering
It’s just a game

The closing of the doors

We’re too busy
We’re just too busy
Always making predictions
Never make an exception
To the rules

Why do we fight
All through the night
Why do we fight at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Let’s just turn the whole damn thing upside down
Do you recognize
The one you knew before
The closing of the doors

Don’t you remind me of someone
Don’t you remind me
I knew you better
Don’t you remind me
Much better than that
I never loved you blindly
I knew a man who was better
Much better than that
Much better than that
Much better than that

Once you’ve said it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You can’t take it back
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I knew you’d find that note someday
So I wrote down
All the things that I couldn’t say

You and I
Up all night
Why do we fight at all

The closing of the doors
The calling of time
Don’t you remind me of someone
Don’t you remind me

Overpowered

Overpowered

When I think that i'm over you
I'm overpowered

Your data my data
The chromosomes match
Exact as in matter
A matter of fact

These amourant feelings
A cognitive state
Need the love object
To reciprocate

When I think that i'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that i'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytocin's flowing ever into my brain

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytocin's flowing ever into my brain

A chemical reason
If reason's your game
A chemical needing
Is there in the brain

With pre-programmed meanings
Like a little more pep
Alien feelings
We have to accept

When I think that i'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that i'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytocin's flowing ever into my brain

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytocin's flowing ever into my brain

I'm overpowered

You know me better

I think we waited
Long enough, baby
You know me
Only too well

I just thought someone had to mention
So don't get defensive
No, no, don't try to pretend to
Look surprised

Have you ever known me
Be too shy to jump in
But when it comes to you
I can't win
'Cause you know me better than I know myself

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

Understand it
Nobody understands you
The way that I can
Let's see this thing through
One thing remaining
Things will never be the same again
After tonight

So let's get down to it
This thing is getting stronger and stronger
We need to take it further
I can't wait no longer of waiting my turn
I've waited in line

How long have I known you
Not in all this time been untrue
I think we're more than friends
Let me see this through
You know me better than I know myself

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself

How many years can we keep going on this way
I believe
Too afraid too much at stake
Yeah I believe the friendship can survive
I believe
Maybe it won't if we do or we don't

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

You know me better than I know myself
You know me better than I know myself
You know me better than I know myself
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

Checkin' up on me

It's your uneasy mind
That's been making you blind
I won't lie to you

You've got trouble inside
Baby, I’ve nothing to hide
I've been good to you

All the way from New York City
Calling me constantly
He's asking if I’m sitting pretty
Waiting patiently

Darling, I would not forsake thee
I'm telling you honestly, yeah yeah

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a trouble mind
It's time to set me free

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a trouble mind

How can you judge
If I don't miss you enough
Any fool can see:
If you can't trust yourself
Can't trust nobody else
Did you lie to me
Yeah, did you lie to me

Even when we are together
Still the jealousy
You know, I just wanna dance forever
And you wanna take that from me

Suppose you really think you're clever
Stealing my liberty, yeah yeah

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a trouble mind
It's time to set me free

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a trouble mind

I get ready to think about
Looking into you
I need to know when you're going out
And all the things you do
You may not be guilty by default
And have the nerve to question me
When it's you who could get caught

What do you think I’m gonna find
When I’m checkin' up on you
Maybe you've got something to hide
Though I think I always knew

What do you think I’m gonna find
When I’m checkin' up on you
Maybe you've got something to hide
Though I think I always knew

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a trouble mind
It's time to set me free

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a trouble mind

(it's so strange kind of loving)
What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
(is it fair love)
Baby, you've got a trouble mind
(is it fair love)
It's time to set me free
(i know you're feigning your suffering)

What do you think you're gonna find
(is it fair love)
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a trouble mind

I can't explain your suspicions
I think it's you
Issues, you, issues
Think it's you
I think it's you

It's so strange kind of loving

Let me know

I turn the other way
I never turn you down
You turn me on
Don't speak out every meaning
I don't belong to you
You don't belong to me
So don't hold on too tightly

Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely babe

Happier now than I’ve been in the past
Gone are the days
Gone are the tears
That was the girl I used to be

The girl that you now see standing in front of you
Could keep going on
Because she believes
In setting you free

So let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby

I turn the other way
I can never turn you down
You turn me on
Don't speak out every meaning

I don't belong to you
Like you don't belong to me
So don't hold on too tightly
Let forever be

So let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby

Let me know when you're lonely babe
It might be sweet
Let me know when you're lonely baby
If we could be
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Along the way
Let me know when you're lonely baby
That could be okay

They're all the same in this cynical age
I won't be your ball and chain
I risk my reputation
Just to get a room
You always have the reservation
So come lie down beside me

So let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Beside me
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Beside me
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Beside me

So let me know when you're lonely babe
It might be sweet
Let me know when you're lonely baby
If we could be
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Along the way
Let me know when you're lonely baby
That could be okay

That could be okay

It might be sweet
If we could be
Along the way
That could be okay

Movie star

I'm a trusting soul, I’m ashamed of living dangerously
I'm a headstrong girl, I’m afraid I won't be told
I feel my destiny is only 'round the corner
Sugar daddy promised me I’ll be sitting on top of the world

He saw my naked ambitions
Said I would leave them wanting more
That could be crazy wishing
We could ever have it all
Have it all, have it all

We'll make a movie, we'll break into cinema
You'll be director, and I’ll be your movie star
We'll make a movie, the darlings of cinema
You'll be director, and I’ll be your movie star

So he's a headstrong guy and perhaps I shouldn't listen
There's a million girls wanna be in my position
If he tells me lies I’ll suspend my disbelieving
I leave it all behind, I ain't asking for permission

Feels like a new beginning
And there's so much to explore
It's not so crazy thinking
We could really have it all
Have it all, have it all

We'll make a movie, we'll break into cinema
You'll be director, and I’ll be your movie star
We'll make a movie, the darlings of cinema
You'll be director, and I’ll be your movie star

Movie star
Movie star

Primitive

From the primordial soup
Out of the din and the bloom we came
We are animal
By any of the name

From the primordial soup
Out of the din and the bloom we came
We are animal
One unbroken chain

I need to get you out of your cave, man
I need to let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

Out from under a rock
From a prehistoric sea we crawled
We are animal
Animal one and all

Out from under a rock
From the prehistoric sea we came
We are animal
Animal, one unbroken chain

I know what you're searching for
I pray that you find it on the instinct
I, I don't need you hurting, boy
Animalistic

I need to get you out of your cave, man
I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I wanna show you I ain't got no game plan

I need to get you out of your cave, man
I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I wanna show you I ain't got no game plan

If you call out tonight
And hear the call of the wild reply
You are animal
Animal not so deep inside

If you call out in vain
Everyone of us just the same
We are animal
Dare not speak its name

I know what you're searching for
I pray that you find it on the instinct
I, I don't need you hurting, boy
Animalistic

I need to get you out of your cave, man (primitive)
I'm gonna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I wanna show you I ain't got no game plan
Primitive love for me

I need to get you out of your cave, man (primitive)
I'm gonna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I wanna show you I ain't got no game plan
Primitive love for me

Footprints

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me this

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me this

Teddy bear
Baby, can we take it slowly?
'Cause I’m a junky for love
But we can still have a party

Take care
'Cause baby I’m a delicate flower
But I could still open up
Just like a beautiful orchid

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me this

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me this

Teddy bear
Can we take it softly, softly?
Just let me fix up for love
And we could still get it started

Steady there
Let me maybe talk you through it
Just 'cause this feeling's for real
Don't mean you know how to do it

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me this

Take a chance on a night romance, would you
For a change gonna do what I have to do

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me this

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me this

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me this...

Dear Miami

Behind these walls you can be so self-absorbed
Behind those eyes: no disguise. Disguise, no you can’t disguise
Behind this fortress of an address stuck in the passion void
With a little style full & for a while, but you can’t turn back time

Dear Miami
You’re the first to go
Disappearing
Under melting snow
Each and everyone
Turn your critical eye
On the burning sun
And try not to cry

Strictly, rolling, V.I.P
Strictly, rolling, V.I.P

We got it all, the empire ever falls
We got all control, untold power too
Do what you want to do
We got the moves
But there’s nothing left to prove
There's only stardust memories
We can make come true

Dear Miami
You’re the first to go
Disappearing
Under melting snow
Each and everyone
Turn your critical eye
On the burning sun
And try not to cry

Dear Miami
You’re the first to go
Disappearing
Under melting snow
Each and everyone
Turn your critical eye
On the burning sun
And try not to cry

Merry-go-round…again
(merry-go-round again)
A carousel, passionate raid
An escapade
(adventures in)

Strictly, rolling, (dear Miami) V.I.P
Strictly, rolling, (dear Miami) V.I.P
Strictly, rolling, (dear Miami) V.I.P
Strictly, rolling, (dear Miami) V.I.P

Cry baby

Things are getting heavy
Why don’t you get ready
Things are getting heavy
Why don’t you get ready

Things are getting heavy
Why don’t you get ready
Things are getting heavy
Why don’t you get ready...

Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry

Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry

To stay awake
You take a pill
You think you're moving
But you're standing still

You can't sleep
It's overkill
You think you're cruising
But it's all downhill

Maybe I could put you in the right direction
Only if you can't decide
I believe you're beyond correction
Wouldn't be the first time I made you cry

Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time

Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time

This won't hurt
No, not a bit
You'd better take your medicine
'Cause you are sick
Your blood runs cold
You won't be told
You're a bad seed already sowed

Maybe I could put you in the right direction
Only if you can't decide
Calling back to me looking for redemption
Wouldn't be the first time I heard you cry

Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time

Who do you think is to blame
Everybody but you
You couldn't care less
About the things that you do

Sick of hearing you cry
Sick of hearing those lies
Tired of wiping the tears
From your eyes

You'd better go, baby

Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby, please don't cry
Oh me, oh my
Don't cry baby all the time

Tell everybody

Hey, where'd you learn to fly
So you shoot your rocket up
Into the sky
Hey, I heard you set the pace
I never thought I’d see you back
In this old place

Are you here to stay
I never thought I’d see the day
Maybe in another lifetime
I'd see you walking away from me

Tell everybody you're my baby
Tell everybody we're not fading
Tell everybody no ifs or maybes, no, no, no
Tell everybody I’m your lady
Tell everybody it's not changing
Tell everybody you're still my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, I heard you set the tone
The day you changed the world you were
Alone
I'm at your command
You only have to clap your hands
Baby I don't understand
Why you're leaving me

Hey, I only wanna make you smile
Well, maybe it'll take a while
Maybe I’ll build a needing
If it pleases you

Tell everybody you're my baby
Tell everybody we're not fading
Tell everybody no ifs or maybes, no, no, no
Tell everybody I’m your lady
Tell everybody it's not changing
Tell everybody you're still my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

I almost remember your face
But it's fading, but it's fading fast
Now that I remember the taste
It's a memory with a life to last

Scarlet ribbons

From the cradle to the throne, my flesh & my bones
Is that the way it’s supposed to be: how the story goes?
Ribbons & bows: like a thorn on a rose
When the one man who gave it all to you has to let you go

He found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a fathers love, when another has his daughters love?
Don’t you know they’ll never be above, I’ll always be your little girl

It’s all borrowed time & you always said I would regret it
If I grew up too fast, but my heart is strong & true
I’m doing fine, the things that you said, I won’t forget ‘em
I’ll do as you ask & always play fair for you

You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a fathers love, when another has his daughters love?
Don’t you know they’ll never be above, I’ll always be your little girl

There’s a part of you in every part me
(you should know better)
Maybe you should know I won’t let that go
Long as I can cry on your shoulder won’t be growing up just older
You have got to let me go

You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a fathers love, when another has his daughters love?
Don’t you know they’ll never be above, I’ll always be your little girl

I’ll always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl

You’ve got to let it go
You’ve got to let it go
You’ve got to let it go…

Body language

Have you omitted to say those rubber bullets don’t bounce off you
Oh incry, hear it in stereo, I’ll cry after everything is done and dusted
I may convince bold and original, forgive what’s that for when you’re heading for the dance-floor
I’m here, go deep with those climb-downs branding me a heretic kind of infant-terrible
I risk I take it to the brink of it, drop you like a hot potato, everybody turn a hater

If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, i call your name
If I could hear what your body says, i wouldn’t change it
If you speak over to me

Between false and tragedy lies a human emotion for hoping it’ll turn out alright
Ah dickens, thicken now then chicken soup, and the way that you turn it
Will take you to the end of the line
But learn, speak it that body language, definition of wordplay, conditional love
You can’t contemplate, impossible to separate one from the other
Your mother, sister’s, brother’s lover

If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If i could speak, i call your name
If i could hear what your body says, i wouldn’t change it
If you speak over to me

‘Tied up for the foreseeable future’ had ended in the 70’s science fiction motion picture
‘Back in the day’ don’t cut it now anyway
Quite a different animal, don’t you wish you’d had a mission

If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, i call your name
If I could hear what your body says, i wouldn’t change it
If you speak over to me
If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, I call your name…

Parallel lives

I ring kept him on, been learning fast.
I just got you wrong, it’s not built to last, it’s not built to last
Time keeps on tripping on, though I learn my lessons fast
And it was time for me to cut and run
And if I ever do the past, you’re not the only one, we’re living

Parallel lives, oh you’re not the only one
We’re so entwined, to lose it
To the passing of time
Oh we came undone, we came untied, we came untied

We live separate lives, can’t even organise
One more meeting of minds ain’t gonna make it right, no
There’s more humanity in just letting it be now
‘Cause I can’t seem to justify when we’re living separate dreams, have we forgotten love
We’re lost in…

Parallel lives, oh you’re not the only one, we’re so entwined, to lose it
To the passing of time, oh we came undone, we came untied, we came untied
Parallel lives, oh you’re not the only one, we’re so entwined, to choose it
To the passing of time, oh we came undone, we came untied, we came untied…

We chose to give it, we chose to live it, our separate lives
Got too close to heaven, but are we too driven in a parallel light
All because we chose to live it, chose to give in, our separate lives
Got too close to heaven, well are we too driven in a parallel light
What were we destined for, to live in

Parallel lives, oh you’re not the only one, we’re so entwined, to lose it
To the passing of time, oh we came undone, we came untied, we came untied
Parallel lives, oh you’re not the only one, we’re so entwined, to choose it
To the passing of time, oh we came undone, we came untied, we came untied…

Feel Up

(Grace Jones cover / Spook feat. Roisin Murphy / Feel Up EP)

Feel up that

And you have a dream
But your dream's not real
You don't give up
You've been enough

You said you're the man
But you're just a boy
Don't play with me
Like you play with toys

And you have a dream
But your dreams are not real
You don't give up
You've been enough

You said you're the man
But you're just a boy
Don't play with me

And you're just sixteen
I'm two times that
Tell me what's your momma
Gonna think about that

You're gonna think and talk
Much more have fun
You're gonna think and walk
Why try to run

You're just sixteen
I'm two times that
Tell me what's your momma
Gonna think about that

You're gonna think and talk
Much more have fun
You're gonna think and walk
Why try to run

Feel up…

Foolish

(b-side from the single 'overpowered')

It was only yesterday
The silence broke
Of everything in every way
The silence spoke
It was on a night like this one
I heard it say
Just about any kind of anything
To make me stay

Oh foolish
Harmless
Foolish, harmless child
The body is timeless
You can't climb this
Stare after golden sky would stare

There is never any remedy
For what we've got
Just memories of memories
Too soon forgot
With every kind of ecstasy
Is what you get
Every rose upon a thorn we see
We soon regret

Oh foolish
Harmless
Foolish, harmless child
The body is timeless
You can't climb this
Stare after golden sky would stare

Oh foolish
Harmless
Foolish, harmless child
The body is timeless
You can't climb this
Stare after golden sky would stare

I'm in love and it's childs play baby
Found a door to another world
And if you don't wanna make it make sense
Any a fool will take you there

And if you don't wanna make it make sense
And if you don't wanna make it make sense

Oh foolish
Harmless
Foolish, harmless child
The body is timeless
You can't climb this
Stare after golden sky would stare

Love in the making

( Sequins EP )

There’s no forsaking
This heart’s for breaking
All there for the taking
And are you waking?

Each man must stand alone
Walk alone along a road
Of his own making
Can’t turn your back
On your particular ending

Nobody can go with you
Nobody to hold onto you

Won’t you pick yourself up?
Dust yourself down
When you reach your
Particular gate
Well, it’ll all be over

It’ll get worse before
It’ll get better
But it will get better
You’ve got to look on the
Bright side
The same rules apply for me and you
As for anyone ever going through

There’s no forsaking
This heart’s for breaking
All there for the taking
It’s love in the making

Noon according to the sundial
Time has cast a shadow
i’ve yet to discover
What’s making me tick

There is liberation in
A simple acceptance
That there will be no
No liberation from,
No liberation from,
No liberation from,
No way to transcend this

There’s no forsaking
This heart’s for breaking
All there for the taking
And are you waking

Modern Timing

(b-side from the single 'overpowered')

Got to be a modern girl
To live inside a modern world

Oh this is super real
You need to find a lot of energy
For me
No it don't come free
Cause it's the creme-de-la-creme
And it's all right

Let's take a ride
Through the city, see it come to life, oh
Straight through the light
I'll be standing my ground
Till the light's out
(close the door)

Got to be a modern girl
To live inside a modern world
Always be calm, be cool and collected

Non-stop boogie, don't stop
Non-stop living, can't stop
Non-stop boogie, won't stop
Non-stop
Modern timing

Oh to be a modern girl

Mister laser-beam
I think we have a little chemistry between
It's a crazy scene
It's gotcha gotcha doing back flips for me
I take no side
I'll do anything i have to do to survive
This modern life's about taking control
New sensations take their toll

Got to be a modern girl
To live inside a modern world
Always be calm, be cool and collected

Non-stop boogie, don't stop
Non-stop living, can't stop
Non-stop boogie, won't stop
Non-stop
Modern timing

Non-stop boogie, don't stop
Non-stop living, can't stop
Non-stop boogie, won't stop
Non-stop
Modern timing

Non-stop boogie, don't stop
Non-stop living, can't stop
Non-stop boogie, won't stop
Non-stop
Modern timing

Don't stop, won't stop
No, we can't stop
Don't stop, won't stop
Modern timing

Don't stop, won't stop
No, we can't stop
Don't stop, won't stop

Never Enough

Off And On

Now I can't get out
I'm trapped inside of it
I won't let go
Pain keeps driving it, I
I only hope and pray
That I can make you pay
Keep pushing, keep
I keep pushin' on

I did the best I could
I learned to sacrifice
I've got to make it work
This time away has done me good
It's a change from you

Keep switching me off and on and off and on and off
I've put myself back together
You've been gone too long beyond, the love is gone
You thought I could feel forever
Keep switching me off and on and off and on and off
I've put myself back together
You've been gone too long beyond, the love is gone
I've got my life back together

No, I can't turn back
I'm sick and tired of it
The love broke down
I've rewired it
I'm only human, babe
You let the feeling fade
Keep pushing
Till I've reached the other ground

I've tried to make it right
When every door was closed
Your love is all I had
I tried to make an honest man, o-o-oh
I refuse

Wired to the sun like a laser beam
Power serge, come feel the energy
And I'm letting it shine again

Keep switching me off and on and off and on and off
I've put myself back together
You've been gone too long beyond, the love is gone
You thought I could feel forever
Keep switching me off and on and off and on and off
I've put myself back together
You've been gone too long beyond, the love is gone
I've got my life back together

Pandora

( Overpowered LP I-tunes Bonus Track )

Wanton play, she’s so vague and vogue
Another beauty beyond compare
Though I remain to be remade and remote
Don’t renege or disown me, babe

You let ‘em see you naked, girl
You let ‘em look inside
You never knew you were naked, girl
You didn’t need to hide

Not one expression on that face
Will ever give her game away
No more emotion, nor a trace
And so you beg for her to stay

Where does the love of Pandora
Not leave destruction in its wake

In her innocent way unafraid she will rise
On the crest of a wave tonight
That could imitate, but could never take the place
To be the only dream we had

You let ‘em see you naked, girl
You let ‘em look inside
You never knew you were naked, girl
You didn’t need to hide

Not one expression on that face
Will ever give her game away
No more emotion, nor a trace
And so you beg for her to stay

Where does the love of Pandora
Not leave destruction in its wake

You can’t fake ‘em on broken promises
And her beauty is plain
She won’t fade on written pages
Only altered the same

Not one expression on that face
Will ever give her game away
No more emotion, nor a trace
And so you beg for her to stay

Where does the love of Pandora
Not leave destruction in its wake

Ripples

( If We're In Love promo EP )

There, There
There, There
There, There
There, There, There may be
There, There, There may be

Only so much you can know
There may be
Only so far you can go
If you can't get
Only so much you can take, all for your own sake
Don't go without
Only so much you can take, before you stop
Feeling the pain (then it will be too late)
Nobody who has ever, will ever come prepared
My love will always take you, unawares

Just let it go, let it all go
Let me take you right back to zero
Because it's dark out here in the vagueness
Let me ask you this
(Could you let it show) Put it all on show
There's nothing left to lose
Just you follow me, follow me, follow
Down that one road left to choose

There, There
There, There
There, There
There, There

Into a vast lake, still as glass, pebbles are thrown
The ripples go on and on and
The ripples go on and on and on and

Could you let it go, let it all go
Let me take you right back to zero
'Cause it's vague out here in the darkness
Let me ask you this
(Could you let it show, let it all show)
'Cause there's only so much you can know
Just you follow me, follow me, follow
Down the one road right to choose

One road, left to choose

Butterfly beats the wings
Butterfly beats the wings
Butterfly beats the wings (Repeats)
(Ripples go on and..)

(Ripples go..)
Let it in, let it all in
(Butterfly beats...)
Just let it go let it all go (Let it go let it all go)
(Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly beats the wings)
(One road left to choose)

There
There
There
There
There
There
There may be

Slave To Love

(Bryan Ferry cover / Gucci Commercial)

And tell her I'll be waiting
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
And there's no escape
And to need a woman
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor

Slave to love, slave to love
Slave to love, oh slave to love

And you're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're the restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
And the sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same

Slave to love, slave to love
Slave to love, oh slave to love

Slave to love, slave to love
Slave to love and I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

And the storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
And the spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile

Slave to love, slave to love
Slave to love and I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Slave to love, slave to love
Slave to love and I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Slave to love
Slave to love and I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

*** Thanx a lot to Jose from the forum for this one ***

Standing In The Way Of Control

( The Gossip Cover / Live 06-10-2007 )

Standing in the way of control
We live our lives
Because we're standing in the way of control
We live our lives

Your back's against the wall
There's no one home to call
You're forgetting who you are
You can't stop crying
It's part not giving in
And part trusting your friends
And you'll do it all again
And I'm not lying

Standing in the way of control
We live our lives
Because we're standing in the way of control
We live our lives, lives, lives

Standing in the way of control
We live our lives
Standing in the way of control
By the only way that you know
Because we're standing in the way of control
We live your lives
Survive the only way that you know, know
Standing in the way of control
We live your lives
Survive the only way that you know, know, know

Sunshine

( Let Me Know EP )

Hello Sunshine
Hello Kitty Cat
I had a hard time
But now my baby's back

With this candy too sweet
You make my heart sing and you know it
You leave it good in love to eat
You make me skip a beat, can't control it

Hello Sunshine
Hello Kitty Cat
I had a hard time
But now my baby's back

You make the stars shine
You make my icicle pop
These are the good times
When my bubbles rise up

Too much sugar is in my blood
Going up, down
I need vitamins in my love
Going down, up

Too much wickedness from the start
Going up, down
I can lose my teeth when I lose my heart
Going down, up

Hello Sunshine
Hello Kitty Cat
I had a hard time
But now my baby's back

You make the stars shine
You make my icicle pop
These are the good times
When my bubbles rise up

Sweet Nothings
