Oh, doctor please, oh, doctor please. I drink and I take drugs, I love sex and I move around a lot, I had my first baby at fourteen, And yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways. Yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways. Oh, doctor please, oh, doctor please, I think you've made a mistake, I'm fine and I don't need people, You don't understand all my choices, But yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways, Yes, I guess I do have vagabond ways. Please, don't lock me up, Please, let me stay free. If you let me go I promise I'll never come back, I'll take a ship across the sea. I'm young and poor, and yes I'm afraid, But I'll stay myself and keep my vagabond ways. It was a long time ago, they took her child away and she was sterelized. She died of the drink and the drugs And yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways, Yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways, Yes, I guess she kept those vagabond ways. |

Do you remember me ? How we used to be helpless and happy and blind ? Sunk without hope in a haze of good dope and cheap wine ? Laying on the living-room floor on those Indian tapestry cushions you made Thinking of calling our first born Jasmine or Jade. Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it to me, Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about what it might be, Don't get up to open the door, just stay with me here on the floor, It's gonna get cold in the 1970's. You wouldn't listen, you thought you knew better, you just to had to speak to that man. Please believe me, I'll visit whenever I can. Laying in your little white room with no windows and three square sedations a day, You plead with the doctor who's running the show, |

Do you remember me, Do you remember anything ? Don't pretend I didn't make you laugh, File it under fun from the past. Well, I'm looking 'round the room Some of the people I've loved. Guess I remember everything File it under fun from the past. I could have been a contender, a contender for your love I would have given you everything if I only knew how. I would have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how, I could have been a contender, a contender for your love. File it under fun from the past, File it under fun from the past. It was only you, it was always only you. I never saw what other people bought, I never cared what they thought. Well, I'm looking 'round the room, some of the people I've loved, Guess I remember everything. File it under fun from the past. You could have been a contender, a contender for my love. I would have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how. I would have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how, You could have been a contender, a contender for my love. File it under fun from the past, File it under fun from the past. Do you remember me, Do you remember anything ? Don't pretend that it'll make you laugh, File it under fun from the past. Well, I'm looking 'round the room Some of the people I've loved. Guess I remember everything, File it under fun from the past. I could have been a contender, a contender for your love, I could have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how. I would have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how, I could have been a contender, a contender for your love.-a |

I know that woman in the mirror, not quite yours and not quite mine, Who she is can't say for sure, could be from another tide. She's the Queen of Sheba, my father's mother, Her face is low flying Africa. She says to me she is not me, So tell me, tell me who is she ? Tell me, tell me who is she ? You'd think she owns the streets of Dublin, They say she's king of Torquay island, She trades in piracy and sinning She knows where you go at night. And when you think you've finally reached her, She laughs and says, |

Think about it when you're out on the street Think about it when you've nothing to eat How could you fall so low from so high above. Think about it when you're on your own Think about it when you're leaving home You didn't see it coming, the velvet glove. Too far out on the wilder shores of love Too far out like you knew before On the wilder shores of love. Think about it from the other side Realise you've got nothing to hide There's no one left alive to give you away. Night moves in mystery, What else do you want to be ? Did no one ever show you the way ? Just found out on the wilder shores of love Just found out what you did before On the wilder shores of love. Too far out on the wilder shores of love Too far out what you knew before On the wilder shores of love. Ican feel your dangerous love around me. Do I want to go in there again ? When all I wanted was for you to drown me And love was there to make me go insane. I remember all the lies you told me, Shut my eyes and always you appear. I can't forget the way you used to haunt me, I can't forget the love that wasn't there. Too far out on the wilder shores of love Too far out like you knew before On the wilder shores of love. So far out on the wilder shores of love So far out like you knew before On the wilder shores of love. |

I cherished the night of your marathon kiss, Chemicals flying, oh I love this. What's it all for if you can't feel the ecstasy ? What's it all for if you can't touch the power, The will to live in the hour ? Don't steal what I have got, baby, 'Cause it's hardly enough for myself. Don't steal what I've got, baby, 'Cause the balance is thin like a shell. I cherished the night of your marathon kiss, Chemicals flying, oh I love this. What's it all for if you can't feel the moment ? What's it all for if you can't feel the moment, The moment of kiss. Fearless when I'm with you, Fearless when I'm with you. Fearless when I'm with you, Fearless through and through. What am I gonna wear ? I don't care. Nobody sees the inside. Oh, the radio's gonna take us out Take us out on a ride. I put on perfume and I walk in the room The world stands still with you in the room. I cross the floor and I'm high and I'm rich When I'm under your lips and your fingertips. I cherished the night of your marathon kiss, Chemicals flying into the mist. What's it all for if you can't feel the moment ? What's it all for if you can't feel the power ? What's it all for if you can't, can't live right here In the hour, in the hour, in the hour ? Fearless when I'm with you, Fearless when I'm with you. Fearless when I'm with you, Fearless through and through. |

It comes as no surprise Your face filled with lies Hovers all around me in this room. Clouds hung with my dismay A hot bed where we lay Your every kiss tasting like a tomb. If time becomes a judge, If my body holds a grudge It's just because I needed sanctuary. Your skin under my nails My curiosity that failed To save myself for something that I need. I don't wanna bleed Or bruise up black and blue. Do I deserve these things All for wanting you ? Like some virgin with her cloth I play the goddess coming through Now I play the parting slave All for wanting you. We do things 'cause we must The law of love and lust Comes together just like oil on flame. I looked into your eyes, You saw me naked for a while, How d'you like it in my little nest ? Who was really using who ? In here the scent of you Stains the sheets with memory and lust. When I get back on the street Tell everybody that I meet Maybe these aren't scars, they're only rust. I don't wanna bleed Or bruise up black and blue Do I deserve these things All for wanting you ? Like some virgin with her cloth I play the goddess coming through Now I play the parting slave All for wanting you. |

Great expectations I have to find I want to tell you what it was like My recollection is not too clear So much hope and so much fear. Long conversations into the night Not like that, oh no, not so black and white The great temptation's to try and please you Play with you thought and mind and tease you If I could tell my story in a song I'd have to make it fast, yes it's very long Many shades of grey between the right and wrong. Day for night, night for day All the stories on this way, Feel the fire burn away. So turn the lights down low, come over here Stay with me, don't go, you'll see my characters appear The storyteller's magic doesn't lie He'll make you laugh to make you cry Real for me is real for you What I say is almost true. Day for night, night for day All the stories on its way, Feel the fire burn and play. The story's ended now you're on your own Let's say a little prayer, go home. |

Well my friends have gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on I'm just paying my rent every day In the Tower of Song. I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get ? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet But I can hear him coughing all night long About a hundred floors above me In the Tower of Song. I was born like this, I had no choice I was born with the gift of a golden voice And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond They just tied me to this table right here In the Tower of Song. Well you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all I'm standing near the window where the light is strong Oh they don't let a woman kill you Not in the Tower of Song. I see you standing on the other side I don't know how the river got so wide I loved you baby, way back when And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed But I feel so close to everything that we lost We'll never , we'll never have to lose it again. Well I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window In the Tower of Song. I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window In the Tower of Song. I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window In the Tower of Song. |
