Left home with a friend of mine
Gone two years and I don't know why Now I'm happy all the time I can't think and I'm feelin' fine Girl put me in a situation Going through soft core mutation Think you heard this all before Now you're gonna hear some more I know a place where dreams get crushed Hopes are smashed but that ain't much Voluntary experimentation Going through soft core mutation I'm going under Down under where the lights are low To a place where all the mutants go Doing things I never did before Inside out and coming back for more Little girls with the four red lips Never knew it could be like this You put me in a situation Goin' through soft core mutation |

Everybody it's a good thing
Everybody wants a good thing Everybody ain't it true that Everybody's looking for the same thing Ain't it true there's just no doubt There's some things that you can't do without And that's good Ain't it true as the sun that shines You got yours and you got mine And that's good Everybody just like you it's true Everybody wants a good thing too Everybody it's a good thing Everybody wants a good thing Everybody ain't it true that Everybody's looking for the same thing Ain't it true there's room for doubt Maybe some things that you can do without And that's good Everybody just like you it's true Everybody wants a good thing too Now let's have a great big hand For everybody who can understand Life's a bee without a buzz It's going great till you get stung And let us not forget to toast Everyone who might have missed the boat And to everybody else who waits Until the next one sails in again [Repeats] Everybody it's a good thing Ain't it true it's a monumental good thing |

I know I let you tell me what to do
You were confident you know best Now things aren't working like you want them to Your confidence is what I detest You got me lookin' up high You got me searchin' down low You got me I know you know You got me jerkin' back 'n' forth You told me people like to suffer You told me that's the way it is You said that things were getting better You said I should expect all this You think it's funny But what I say is true The reason that I live like this Is all because of you There is a thought that keeps me thinking Like a stone inside my shoe It is a vision reoccurring A dirty window I can see you through |

She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree She sends out an aroma of undefined love It drips on down in a mist from above She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want You hear her calling everywhere you turn You know you're headed for the pleasure burn But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue She's the real thing but you knew it all along She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want Look at you with your mouth watering Look at you with your mind spinning Why don't we just admit it's all over She's just the girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, just the girl The girl you want She sings from somewhere you can't see She sits in the top of the greenest tree She sends out an aroma of undefined lust It drips on down in a mist from above She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want Look at you with your mouth watering Look at you with your mind spinning Why don't we just admit it's all over She's just the girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl |

Crack that whip
Give the past the slip Step on a crack Break your momma's back When a problem comes along (you must whip it) Before the cream sits out too long (you must whip it) When something's going wrong (you must whip it) Now whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead Try to detect it It's not too late To whip it Whip it good! When a good time turns around (you must whip it) You will never live it down (unless you whip it) No one gets their way (until they whip it) I say whip it Whip it good! I say whip it Whip it good! Crack that whip Give the past the slip Step on a crack Break your momma's back When a problem comes along (you must whip it) Before the cream sits out too long (you must whip it) When something's going wrong (you must whip it) Now whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead Try to detect it It's not too late To whip it Into shape Shape it up Get straight Go forward Move ahead Try to detect it It's not too late To whip it Whip it good! |

Girl of my dreams, she don't love me
Always the way it seems to be My baby doll, my baby doll My baby doll, my baby doll My baby doll Light of my life, she turns it on Over my head not close enough My baby doll, my baby doll My baby doll, my baby doll My baby doll Baby doll, you look so good Baby doll, you feel so big Baby doll, you let me have it Baby doll, why did you do it, baby doll? Baby doll, baby doll Baby doll, baby doll Quick tempered queen knows what she wants And what I got is what it's not My baby doll, my baby doll My baby doll, my baby doll My baby doll Baby doll, you look so good Baby doll, you feel so big Baby doll, you let me have it Baby doll, why did you do it, baby doll? Baby doll, baby doll Why did you do it, baby doll? Baby doll, baby doll Why did you do it, baby doll? Baby doll, baby doll Why did you do it, baby doll? Baby doll, baby doll Why did you do it, baby doll? |

I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get me no satisfaction And I try and I try and I try t-t-t-t-try try I can't get no I can't get me no When I'm riding in my car And a man comes on the radio He's tellin' me more and more About some useless information Supposed to fire my imagination I can't get no uh no no no Hey hey hey that's what I say I can't get no satisfaction I can't get me no girly action When I'm watchin' my tv And a man comes on to tell me How white my shirts could me But he can't be a man 'cause he does not smoke The same cigarettes as me And when I'm flying around the world And I'm doin' this and I'm tryin' do that And I'm trying to make some girl Tells me baby better come back later next week Can't you see I'm on a losing streak ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By BARLOW, GARY/JAGGER, MICK/RICHARDS, KEITH <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Twist away the gates of steel
Unlock the secret voice Give in to ancient noise Take a chance a brand new dance Twist away the gates of steel Twist away Now twist and shout The earth it moves too slow But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way Twist away the gates of steel A man is real Not made of steel But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way Twist away the gates of steel The beginning was the end Of everything now The ape regards his tail He's stuck on it Repeats until he fails Half a goon and half a god A man's not made of steel Twist away Now twist and shout The earth it moves too slow But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way Twist away the gates of steel A man is real that's how he feels |
