Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything (2005) by Todd Rundgren (보컬) on maniadb.com

It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you

So we walked along
Though I knew that there was
Something wrong
And a feeling hit me oh so strong about you
Then you gazed up at me and
The answer was plain to see
'Cause I saw the light in your eyes
Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
Till that little bell began to ring in my head
In my head
But I tried to run
Though I knew it wouldn't help me none
'Cause I couldn't ever love no one
Or so I said
But my feelings for you were just something
I never knew
Till I saw the light in your eyes
But I love you best
It's not something that I say in jest (ha ha)
'Cause you're different girl from all the rest
In my eyes
And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes

Do you remember the last time I said
If I ever thought about lying,
I'd rather think of dying instead
And maybe you remember the last time you called me
to say we were through
How it took a million tears
just to prove they all were for you
but those days are through

'Cause it wouldn't have made any difference
if you loved me
How you could you love me
when it wouldn't really make any difference,
if you really loved me
You just didn't love me

'Cause I know of hundreds of times I could be
In the most unfaithful arms that you always picture me
And maybe you remember that
through I can't always show proof I was true
No one else could change my mind or
stop me coming home to you
But those days are through

You jus did not love me enough to believe me
Enough not to leave me
Evough not to look for a reason to be unhappy with me
And make me regret ever wanting you
But those days are through

Hey baby, you're on a subliminal trip to nowhere.
You better get your trip
Together before you step
In here with us!

Full moon tonight, everything's all right
Baby come on back to Wolfman Jack
If you want yourself a day man, well I don't mind
You just ditch him when the sun goes down
'Cause the moon shines bright
And everything's all right
When the Wolfman, he creeps into town

Now you maybe want a man who throws 'round his money
But he ain't as cool as Wolfman Jack
And you might want yourself a man
Who don't act so funny
But he ain't your fool like Wolfman Jack

I don't mean to treat you evil
I'm just a good boy gone bad
But if I catch you after dark walking through the park
I'm just liable to do something mad

You maybe think you know what love is about girl
But it's nothing 'til it's Wolfman Jack
And everybody knows, you go round and shout it
That your only thrill is Wolfman Jack

Full moon tonight, everything's all right
Baby come on back to Wolfman Jack
I may miss your loving while I'm on my back
But you can't escape from Wolfman Jack
You can't do this to me

Look me in the eyes baby, now you cut that jive
You know the Wolfman's just about
The number one cat alive
You got my great big eyes spinning 'round in my head
How could you love another man instead?

I believe if I was all alone,
I would be better off in a world my own
I'd forget I ever knew of you, and this dream every
night that you put me through
We walk along a Hollywood sea
and you dance once again with me

We are close, we are friends
And our love never ends
But in the cold morning light I see
That you won't be back for me

The wound you left is healing and then
it starts itching and I scratch it open again
So the pain comes out and I give in
and indulge my imaginations, whims
We sit and drink Victorian tea
and your face wears a smile for me

I was yours, you were mine
Our hearts bound, lost in time
But in the cold morning light I see
That you won't be back
For me there can be no peace
For me there can be no rest
I believe though I've tried my best
I'm condemned it seems to a life of
restlessness and broken dreams

There's a cloud in the sky and it's raining on you
Still you try to keep dry but your troubles leak through
And you've lost all you could, feeling sad
Choose your reveries
Keep the good, leave the bad
Take a few of these, the sweeter memories
Don't forget them please, the sweeter memories
To set your mind at ease, the truest remedies
Are the sweeter memories
There's a life full of pain and a life full of glee
So you see that the rain doesn't mean much to me
For I know that it pays making light
of living's tragedies
Make your days be as bright
Take a few of these, the sweeter memories

I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
Because I know someday someone else will see it my way
And then I'll know I was not wrong
I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
They think that I'm no good
but I will make myself understood
'Cause I believe it all along

I think I'm gonna love it
I know they won't believe it
When they finally see the saving grace in me

I know the time is gonna come
When I will mean something to someone
Until that day I'm hanging on

Marlene
Marlene, you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Do you care for me at all
Marlene, I care for you
And I just don't care who knows it
and I guess that means that I love you
Marlene
Marlene, who'd believe that you're only seventeen
I'm in trouble if your folks get mean
And if they do
Then I don't care if they bust me
and I guess that means that I love you
I don't need no fantasies
Just one thing I need
I you could make it here, Marlene
Dear Marlene, Marlene
Marlene, when I think that it all is just a dream
I remember that your eyes are green
And mine are blue
They will always see each other
and I guess that means that I love you
I don't need realities
Just one thing I need
If you could make it here Marlene
Dear Marlene, Marlene
Marlene, I'm depending on you now
Marlene

I am a Viking of some note
Knut's my name and here I float
Out on the sea in a great big boat
and I'm the one who beats the drum in time
To stroke the oars that drive our galleons on
And while we rowed we had our song
And we had our god, and it may seem odd
But at least there was a cause
Caught a wind and we upped the sail
Lost two ships when it turned to a gale
Down went a third when she rammed on a whale
Though we despaired we could not fail
And through it all we never faltered
Late at night I lay on the decke
Wondering whye I risk my necke
Picture myselfe in a sinkinge wrecke
Ande downe I'me goinge notte knowinge whye
I just can't quite recall the reason why
It's such a drag to carry on
But there was a cause, but there was a reason
If you like I'll be your Viking
Sit you down to a Nordic meal
Give you strength that you might wield
A Viking sword and a Viking shield
And off we'll sail in mighty ships of yore
Perhaps we shouldn't let our hands get sore
We need someone to pull the oars
And to do the chores
So we need a cause, so we need a reason why

I went to the mirror this morning
I looked in the mirror instead
The first thing to come into focus
Was a face wrapped all around my head
There's something sticking out of the middle
I guess it's my nose (I suppose)
I just don't recognize those eyes
All these years I've been watching from the other side

The voice is now one of brutal stupefication. The underlying question is - "If
you went crazy, would you know it?"

Uh oh, here I go thinking them crazy thoughts again.
Who is that there? You mean I been walking around
in that all these years? What's it all about?
Where's it all at? I don't want to get heavy but
what am I doing here? uh

My lip has a dark spot upon it
(The voice of a mature adult who's comprehensive
capacity has suddenly been reduced to that of a
cherrystone clam)
My teeth look like plastic in chips
And there on my chin I discover
One lonely red and arrogant zit
I went about my business this morning
You got to get out of bed and make that bread
But try as I may to get away
I won't forget what I seen in the mirror today

Boogie on out to a brand new day.
Get off your back and dance!

I seen my eyes. I seen my nose. My lips. My teeth.
My, my gums. I seen my gums! I looked all the way
down my throat! I looked at my ears. I looked real
hard at my ears. I looked at my hair. I think I'm going
bald. I had hair all over the sink or something

Black Maria, you scare me so
I feel as though my heart stop dead
You're a liar, this I know
I watch you go around my head

Oh, I'm going down slow
You scare me so
Oh, you never let go
You scare me so

Gay deceiver, my eyes they burned
My insides turned, my brain it rolled
Unbeliever, but now I've learned
I took my turn, I come up cold

Keep your head and everything will be cool
You didn't have to make me feel like a fool
When I try to say I feel the way that I do
I want to talk to you
And make it load and clear
though you don't care to hear

Couldn't I just tell you the way I feel
I can't keep it bottled up inside
And could we pretend that it's no big deal
And there's really nothing left to hide

Something sure doesn't seem right to me
When you can turn your back whenever you please
And you stroll away and calmly bid me adieu
Why can't I talk with you
And put it in your ear though you don't care to hear

Hear me out
Why don't you lend me an ear
You've got no reason to fear
I'll make it perfectly clear
I love you

I don't come whining with my heart on my sleeve
I'm not a coward if that's what you believe
And I'm not afraid but not ashamed if it's true
I got to talk with you
And then I'll make it clear

Hello, it's me, I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
there's something here that doesn't last too long.
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine.
Seeing you, orseeing anything as much as I do you,
I take for granted that you're always there,
I take for granted that you just don't care.
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through.
It's important to me
that you know you are free
Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me, you know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
or if I ever need a eason to smile and spend the night if you think I should
It's important to me
that you know you are free
Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me you know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
or if I ever need a reason to smile and spend the night if youthink I should
Think of me...think of me...think of me
