Last night my mother said to me
I'm sick of making history There's got to be a better way But we've got all these bills to pay And they ain't just gonna go away Like a factory - about to be shut down Another factory - about to be shut down Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold You're gonna like this one, you're gonna like this one I do See if mr. botha was a man He'd tip the hat, he'd pass the can But he don't talk for you and me I saw him on the bbc His eyes looked like a factory About to be shut down His eyes looked like a factory With the lights out - about to be shut down Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold Last night my mother said to me I'm sick of making history There's got to be a better way For you to be Last night my mother said to me When you grow up what will you be If not the white minority At least protect me I'm not a factory about to be shut down Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold Sold - did you hear it? - i'm sold Sold - there's got to be a better way than this |

There might be a question
That you ask before too long I won't have the answer But I promise to be stronger You lied to me, you lied to me Like I was some fool, yes you did You lied to me, you cried for me I told you to keep your cool I asked for love But your love has gone I asked for love But your love has gone I asked for love But your love has gone I asked for love And to be strong, to be stronger There was a time I felt no shame In asking please, please me But your rejection Has brought me to my knees You lied to me, you lied to me Like I was some fool, yes you did You lied to me, but that's history I told you to keep your cool I asked for love But your love has gone I asked for love But your love has gone I asked for love But your love has gone I asked for love And to be strong, to be stronger All the people Are ready to hold your hand All the people Are ready to understand The things you do I asked for love But your love has gone I asked for love But your love has gone I asked for love But your love has gone I asked for love And to be strong, to be stronger |

I read it in the bible
I told you not to waste my time Why should I be liable For every situation, and every crime? I know it's a long way home When you haven't got a ride I know it's a long way home And you know we've been fighting for the longest time Ain't no freedom like your own Ain't no freedom like to say this is mine Ain't no freedom like your own And you know we've been fighting for the longest time I told it to some people But they said the fault was mine I know it's never easy I know it's never easy when you walk in line I know it's a long way home When you haven't got a ride I know it's a long way home And you know we've been fighting for the longest time Ain't no freedom like your own Ain't no freedom like to say this is mine Ain't no freedom like your own And you know we've been fighting for the longest time Why do we live this way Wasting our lives? Why are the things that we say Seen as a crime? I have to live my way This is my life I get on my knees and pray Most of the time Ain't no freedom like your own Ain't no freedom like to say this is mine Ain't no freedom like your own And you know we've been fighting for the longest time |

When you said that you were leaving
I thought I was gonna die But I'm sick and tired of grieving I've got to find a reason why If love is not the answer Then tell me what it's gonna be If love is not the answer Why the hell did you give it to me Because it ain't enough Just to call it love It ain't enough Just to call it love When you said that you were leaving (goodbye) I thought I was gonna die But I'm sick and tired of grieving I've got to find a reason why If love is not the answer Then tell me what it's gonna be If love is not the answer Why the hell did you give it to me Because it ain't enough Just to call it love It ain't enough Just to call it love If love is not the answer Then tell me what it's gonna be If love is not the answer Why the hell did you give it to me Because it ain't enough Just to call it love It ain't enough Just to call it love |

Here comes the little ghost
Here comes the little ghost Here comes the little ghost Oh what a bad mood he's in in the morning Acting like that is the best thing that's going Seems like he was always dancing around you And I remember him spinning all over I've been here but not for much longer Go out and get me a hand full of powder Red eyes and red lips that come up and kiss you Sun coming up on a big broken picture Here comes the little ghost Here comes the freaky boy Here comes the little ghost Angel with nothing but make-up and fab things Diamonds and fur coats and money and gold rings Pictures of people who love ya and kick things One for the blue boy and two for the dead kings Here is an angel with wings on his shoulders Very expressive cigarette holder Here is an angel with a bow and arrow Saying God doesn't know how to put on his halo Here comes the little ghost Here comes the freaky boy Here comes the Rolls Royce Here comes the little ghost Here he comes Here he comes Here comes the freaky boy Here comes the Rolls Royce Here comes the little ghost Here comes the little ghost |

Next time I sing a ballad
And they say that I'm too pop What the hell - if it gets me to the top Next time I'll be handsome Or pretty at least I will have big muscles - I'll lay on the beach Next time I'll paint pictures Like a real Van Gogh Wear little black hats - hang my cigarettes so low Sit in French cafes Drinking French Pernod Next time gigolo - Next time we go Next time, next time, next time, ooh next time, next time Next time I'll be full blooded 'Stead of half-cherokee I'll put on my warpaint - and they'll listen to me Next time I'll tell my mama With a baby on my knee (Say gay) I'll sweep and clean and dress my dream - kick that broke down washing machine Next time, next time, next time, ooh next time, next time Next time I'll be kinder And I'll be tougher too I won't worry half as much - and neither will you But for now I've got to go On and strut my stuff I'll sing my song and swing along - Tomorrow I'll be better off Next time, next time, next time, ooh next time, next time No, no next time Wop, bob a loo bop bam Next time Anyone here seen Ray Charles?

Saying sorry
Would mean I've apologised And you know I was good to you baby There were very few lies Now that you ask me I'm no saint inside The same things you feel little darling I don't try to hide When I think about the laughter Directed at me I don't give a damn anymore If they don't see what I see We've got the right to love We've got the chance to make it work We've got the right to love Yes we got the right That's where you get me, yes you do Almost every time When it comes down to making love It has to be right When I think about the laughter Directed at me I don't give a damn anymore If they don't see what I see We've got the right to love We've got the chance to make it work We've got the right to love Yes we got the right Don't put the blame on me I won't tell you no lies Don't put the blame on me Got no time for compromise We've got the right to love We've got the chance to make it work We've got the right to love Yes we got the right |
