What shall we do about them When they move into your neighbourhood They take over but good They want you all body and soul Then it's just your body Then they go What shall we do about them (Chorus) What do they want What shall we do about them What do they want What shall we do about them What do they want One of them asked me to dine Then he ate me all up Got full then he blew me up I got big and round and lovable He saw I was immovable He got bored, went to war I got one baby, he's giving me more Once I swore I'd never give myself up Chorus: I know that them we are not I have loved them alot And I have loved alot of them You could say that I am experienced Enough to know that they are aliens Do you keep them away, beg them to stay Say it's O.K., do it their way I used to say I'd never give myself up Chorus |

James, Your voice is like the water When I lift this shell to my ear I can hear you pourin' out your heart to me James, The beauty of your voice Lifts us from sadness James, Let us become like water together Sing to me Sit on the edge of my bed as when we First spent nights together Your body wrapped around your guitar Let the music speak for your heart Let them combine like water and sand Let them meet the air like drops of rain And bring us together, once again |

This gray sky Is good for cryin' These November gray woods Open to the fields I came out here In the cold For my poor heart Has turned to frost I don't understand What you just told me What is all this about About just being friends It's a lousy lie And a far cry >From what goes on Between you and me Pain, in pain I'm in pain You held me close to you I didn't tell you what to do We were burnin', burnin' Burnin', burnin' You made love to me We were cryin', we were flyin' We were dyin' in these fields We'd come out here in the soft nights I was sunburned under you Pain, in pain I'm in pain So you want me to say Do you want me to say, you want me to say Say that I don't love you Do you want me to smile, try, lie And look away How far away all the stars seem And that gypsy moon Cries, "You're a fool" |

The three of us in the dark
Where do I resist One has to go One is just a guest One is all a fire One is all a spark But here I am with the two of you The three of us in the dark I didn't hear you walk in the door You'd called to me years ago I had heard Your voice before One is all a fire One is all a spark But here I am with the two of you the three of us in the dark The eerie sound of one lone fiddle The wind is finding the tune And you lying here in the middle As innocent as the moon Entangled in embraces that God will never see Do you know me Who am I talking about It all gets so confused And what would I do If I had to choose One is all a fire One is all a spark And here I am with the two of you The three of us in the dark |

You imagine when you see her
that she's nothing less that perfect That she has no aspirations Beyond driving in her car The car she looks so good in Will she ever look that good again you'll never have to know Because she's gone She passes in the left lane And you're turned on by the chase Her hair flies in the wind As your mind begins to race The grass is always greener But I wish you could have seen her Drunk and lying with the gutter in her face Take me as I am Take me as I am For the woman that I am Take me as I am You think she knows the bible And can swin the English Channel Writes novels in her spare time In a cabin in the woods You wish I'd gone to college And you wish I'd let my hair grow you wish I didn't have so many moods Take me as I am Take me as I am For the woman that I am Take me as I am Take me as I am Once you said you were in love with me And maybe you still are But the passion you once showed me Now is lost among the stars And you fancy some new fancy girl Will come and change your life around But she just turned the corner in her car While for some other dreamin' driver I am that romantic stranger Lookin' better than I am More mysterious by far Speeding through his dreams While I'm drivin' in my car Take me as I am Take me as I am For the woman that I am Take me as I am Take me as I am |

I was in the desert
Amazed by all that sand I as in a sea of white Swimming through the land Nobody shocked me Nobody locked me up Nobody took my time Nobody shook me up All that happened was the white night The endless sand in the moonlight I was in the desert In the opalescent moon Watching the horizon And waiting for the moon Nobody talked to me Nobody looked me up Nobody walked up to me Nobody shook me up All that happened was the white night The endless sand in the moonlight I was in the desert Free to live or die Looking in the mirror And seeing just the sky Nobody got to me Nobody said what to me Nobody shoved me Nobody loved me All that happened was the white night The endless sand and the moonlight |
