Well I was born an original sinner.
I was borne from original sin. And if I had a dollar bill For all the things I've done There'd be a mountain of money Piled up to my chin... My mother told me good My mother told me strong. She said "be true to yourself And you can't go wrong." "But there's just one thing That you must understand." "You can fool with your brother But don't mess with a missionary man." Don't mess with a missionary man. Don't mess with a missionary man. Well the missionary man He's got God on his side. He's got the saints and apostles Backin' up from behind. Black eyed looks from those Bible books. He's a man with a mission Got a serious mind. There was a woman in the jungle And a monkey on a tree. The missionary man he was followin' me. He said "stop what you're doing." "Get down upon your knees." "I've got a message for you that you better believe." |

You gave me such a bad time
tried to hurt me, but now I know... Thorn in my side. You know that's all you ever were. A bundle of lies. You know that's all that it was worth... I should have known better But I trusted you at first. I should have known better But I got what I deserved... To run away from you Was all that I could do. To run away from you Was all that I could do. Thorn in my side. You know that's all you'll ever be. So don't think you know better 'Cause that's what you mean to me... I was feeling complicated. I was feeling low. Now everytime I think of you I shiver to the bone... |

Underneath your dreamlit eyes
Shades of sleep have driven you away. The moon is pale outside And you are far from here. Breathing shifts your careless head Untroubled by the chaos of our lives. Another day - another night Has taken you again my dear. And you know that I'm gonna be the one Who'll be there When you need someone to depend upon When tomorrow comes... When tomorrow comes... Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea... Wait till tomorrow comes - yea yea... Last night while you were Lying in my arms And I was wondering where you were You know you looked just like a baby Fast asleep in this dangerous world. Every star was shining brightly Just like a million years before. And we were feeling very small Underneath the universe. And you know that I'm gonna be the one Who'll be there when you need Someone to depend upon When tomorrow comes... When tomorrow comes... |

Well the first time that I saw you
You were standing in the rain. You were waiting at the station For the last connecting train. Well - who will you go to When there's no-one to betray? And I said - who will you go to When your best friend turns away? Hey hey... Last time you're gonna let me down. Last time you're gonna Fool around with me... There's a garden full of roses, There's a necklace full of pearls. You have come to take the roses To give to other girls. Well - I am just a pretty thing You wanted for a day. There is nothing left between us There is nothing left to say... Hey hey... People like you Can be so mean. People like you Just don't come clean. (Chorus repeats...) |

How many sorrows
Do you try to hide In a world of illusion That's covering your mind? I'll show you something good Oh I'll show you something good. When you open your mind You'll discover the sign That there's something You're longing to find... The miracle of love Will take away your pain When the miracle of love Comes your way again. Cruel is the night That covers up your fears. Tender is the one That wipes away your tears. There must be a bitter breeze To make you sting so viciously - They say the greatest coward Can hurt the most ferociously. But I'll show you something good. Oh I'll show you something good. If you open your heart You can make a new start When your crumbling world falls apart. (Chorus repeats...) |

He was the kinda guy
I liked the way he looked. He had a red silk tie - He had a forties suit. And I said - "You're the kind of person I've been longing to adore." "You're the kind of person I've been waiting for." He said - "The time is right to take a chance 'Cause I'm looking for a brand new romance." "So come on baby let's go outside - I've got a car in the drive and we can take a ride." "So let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo." "Let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo." Well - we went driving for an hour or so Till we took the little Chevy down to Mexico. And I said - "Blue eyed boy, you know I love the way you look." "Why don't we find a preacher Who can get us hooked?" "You know the time is right to take a chance 'Cause I'm looking for a brand new romance." And the great big moon Was a shinin' down He said "Forget about the preacher man, Let's do it on the ground!" "Let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo." "Let's go - I wanna fall in love ooh hoo." |

If I could find a way
To soothe your troubled mind Then I would erase your fears And help you to unwind. I would ease the burden That you carry everyday. Oh - don't you know I'd find a cure And take your pain away. Take your pain away Take your pain away... And even though you're far from here Don't forget I'm always near. Find comfort in these words I send In this cold world. Take your pain away Take your pain away... For every aching heart For every broken soul... So give up your worries They'll only do you harm. There is no need to be concerned It's just a false alarm. (Chorus repeats...) |

There used to be a time
I wore my heart upon my sleeve. There used to be a time I'd show my gentle side to anyone Through these years of wandering I know I've been deceived. Through these years of wandering... And everytime you try to hurt me You know you'll only hurt yourself. And everytime you try to hurt me I know you'll be the one to suffer When you think you're hurting someone. A little of you - a little of me - A little of you - Is hurting someone - Don't tell me I'm the only one 'Cause I don't need that space. Don't ask for love I'll throw it back in your face. All of these promises Were only made to break. All of these promises... (Chorus repeats...) |

I could be anywhere else but here
But the rain won't let me go. There's a photograph Hanging on my wall Of a place I've never been to... I'll never make the grade (Feels like Sunday everyday) And I can't stop the rain (Feels like Sunday everyday) What do the papers say? (Feels like Sunday everyday) Get up and go now! In this town - something's gotta change. In this town - something's gotta change. I'm looking at the world - Looking for a scene - Waiting for a day - Filling in time like I'm digging My own grave... I'll never make the grade (Feels like Sunday everyday) And I can't stop the rain (Feels like Sunday everyday) What do the papers say? (Feels like Sunday everyday) Get up and go now! (Chorus repeats...) |

Well there's a colour picture
In my mind. Of all the places That I've left behind. The broken windows Where the wind blows through Empty shells of houses That have turned to ruin. Oh - we were so young. We didn't realise Just what we'd done. Oh - we were too young. And I remember you. You were the back yard boy. Hiding in the wreckage Of broken dreams. Standing by the railway line. Standing. Oh - we were so young. We didn't realise Just what we'd done. Oh - we were too young. And all the sweetness Has been taken out of this place. So many memories Are knocked down or replaced. And I can't stand to see The shifting time Taking me further - Leaving you behind. (Chorus repeats...) |
