Antiques !
Every other sentiments an antique As obsolete as warships in the baltic I'm driving on a straight road it never alters And the radio serenades but doesn't falter You offer infrared instead of sun You offer paper spoons and bubble gum Late sky |

I spend the days with my vanity
I'm lost in heaven and I'm lost to earth Didn't give you minutes not even moments All my life in a tower of foil Shaded feelings, don't believe you When you were there before my eyes No one planned it took it for granted I count the hours since you slipped away I count the hours that I lie awake I count the minutes and the seconds too All I stole and I took from you But Bonny don't live at home, he don't live at home Words don't hold you, broken soldiers INSTRUMENTAL I count the hours since you slipped away I count the hours that I lie awake I count the minutes and the seconds too All I stole and I took from you But Bonny don't live at home, he don't live at home Words don't hold you, broken soldiers All my silence and my strained respect Missed chances and the same regrets Kiss the thief and you save the rest All my insights from retrospect But Bonny's not coming home, he don't live at home Save your speeches, flowers are for funerals |

Please be careful is never careful
Till it hears the gun She will always pay the bills For the having big fun He talks so well, what can you do, It's pretty plain he means it too I don't want to sell you lines, I only mean to do you right But I'm a simple slave of appetite, I'm a poor slave of appetite Hunger howls, hungers red, Hungers stays till it's fed Then it some h-h-how fades, Then it somehow leaves your sight Depending on it's appetite, Depending on your appetite So if you take - Then put back good If you steal - be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite Here she is with two small problems And the best part of the blame Wishes she could call him heartache But it's not a boy's name If you grow up to be, just like him, just like me You're fighting for exclusive rights, For honeymoons each sleepless night In which case I'll call you appetite Yes I think I'll call you appetite So if you take - Then put back good If you steal - be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite So if you take - Then put back good If you steal - be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite |

My love and I, we work well together
But often we're apart Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah, Till love breaks down, love breaks down Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather The sweet September rain Rain on me like no other Until I drown, until I drown When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves, When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down, when love breaks down My love and I, we are boxing clever She'll never crowd me out Fall be free as old confetti And paint the town, paint the town When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurtin' you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves, When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurtin' you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves, When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down You join the wrecks Who leave their hearts for easy sex When love breaks down When love breaks down |

There are all kinds of things I could ask you if I choose
But I don't do I dear good intentions don't survive here No instead my requests tend to be dumb as hell Move in close, closer still, I hear the songs of Georgie Gershwin I swear at you 'cause I believe that sweet talk like candy rots teeth No Hallelujahs, or gifted voices To sing your praises I'd be walking on wheels No whoops or war cry's or caramias All translations will read Marry me now Well I sing to express my belief that sweet talk like candy rots teeth With his hand on his heart, it's a posing place While draining the mystery from your face He admits all he's chasing is the chase But you won't let him run You make him suffer for all he's gone done He'll still be hurting when the kingdom comes Move in close till you see, he only wants what he can't have So when he gets it he's good as bad Move in close, closer still, I hear the songs of Georgie Gershwin Oh Hallelujah, how I'm walking on wheels |

You surely are a truly gifted kid
But you're only good as The last great thing you did And where've you been since then Did the schedule get you down I hear you've got a new girlfriend How's the wife taking it ? If it's uphill all the way you should be used to it by now You must know me, Father it's your son And I know that you are proud of everything I've done But it's the wonders I perform, Pulling rabbits out of hats When sometimes I'd prefer Simply to wear them If it's uphill all the way you should be used to it and say My back is broad enough sir to take the strain and it's Hello mother, it's your son and aren't you proud, of all I've done But I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free, and I can't breakdance on your knee But it's "stay right there son, baby do", while I is itchin' for something new So watch me hawkeye and understand the force of will, the sleight of hand Movin' the river, I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free and I can't breakdance on your knee Movin' the river, bucket by spoon, and do you think that they'll like me when they learn what I o Movin' the river, money for jam, and it takes such an effort to stay where I am... |

It's me again your worthless friend or foe
I somehow let that lovely creature down Horsin' around, horsin' around Some things we check and double check and lose I guess I let that little vow get lost Forgettin' the cost, forgettin' the cost Quick to forgive and so slow to blame, the very thought fills me with shame But that didn't stop it happening The thrill of it - can I call it that ? - was cheap And feeling cheap's the only thing you keep It's so unsightly to walk from her arms so lightly Selling it all up the swanee Horsin' around's a serious business, last thing you'd want somebody to witness I was the fool who always presumed that I'd wear the shoes and you'd be the doormat You wonder why my hands are still shaking : In need of a cry the shoulders are taken... I deserve to be kicked so badly You deserve more than I sold you for Horsin' around, horsin' around The moral is whatever else you learn You shouldn't let that lovely creature down Lord just blind me, don't let her innocent eyes remind me Selling it all up the swanee Horsin' around, horsin' around. |

I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them
Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? They were the best times, the harvest years with jam to lace the bread So goodness, goodness knows why I'd throw it to the birds But there it is, and there we are And all I ever want to be is far from the eyes that ask me In whose bed you gonna be and is it true you only see Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? It's perfect as it stands so why then crush it in your perfect hands ? Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them So tell me you must have thought it all out in advance Or goodness, goodness knows why you'd throw it to the birds You mock the good things, you play the heart strings, play them one by one But there it is, and there we are And all I ever want to be is far from the eyes that ask me In whose bed you gonna be and is it true you only see Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? It's perfect as it stands so why then crush it in your perfect hands ? Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? In whose bed you gonna be and is it true you only see Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ?

When the angels take the angel voice away
Some lower their eyes, some of us shout cheats For cheating on the deal, pulling off the sting, Tuning up the harps, dishing out the wings If they can dance on, on the head of a pin Don't that tell you something about their skin Hard faced little bastards When the angels take the angel voice away Jealously they see the sometimes man you'd be Must get so blase, knowing you'll never die, Lounging on a cloud, polishing the sky The memories are blue, but borrowed for the day They sit around ignored, till someone goes away If they can dance on, on the head of a pin Don't that tell you something about their skin Hard faced little bastards When the angels take the angel voice away Jealously they see the sometimes man you'd be The memories are blue, but borrowed for the day They sit around ignored, till someone goes away For cheating on the deal, pulling off the sting, Tuning up the harps, dishing out the wings If they can dance, bastards When the angels take the angel voice away Jealously they see the sometimes man you'd be |

Brucie dreams life's a highway too many roads bypass my way
Or they never begin. Innocence coming to grief At the hands of life - Stinkin' car thief, that's my concept of sin Does heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ? But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. Life's a drive through a dust bowl, what's it do, do to a young soul We are deeply concerned, someone stops for directions, Something responds deep in our engines, we have all been burned Will heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ? But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. Little boy got a hot rod, thinks it makes him some kind of new God Well this is one race he won't win, 'Cos life's no cruise with a cool chick Too many folks feelin' car sick, but it never pulls in. Brucie's thoughts - Pretty streamers - Guess this world needs its dreamers may they never wake up. But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. |

I've been asking what is new, like my streetwise buddy do
Body talk seems big with him, so it's conversations in the gym Ooh enchanted ooh enchanted "Pray Forsooth" and "I Adore" ain't the ticket anymore So how'd you recognise a king ? You ask yourself can that cat swing It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Comin' down the years, plain enchantment That's the glue that binds and bonds The dying to the new, plain enchantment Ain't no purple rain quite like it Here's something to dwell upon Now we're living next we're gone, so if you've love please pass it on 'Cos it's a disbelieving world, but sensitive as any girl It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Ooh enchanted now we're living ! |

Tell me do, something true, true of you and me
That we're too busy living through, too busy to see. What is it that we do makes us what we are If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars ? Who are we ? What we got ? Are we a firework show ? Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone, I find it hard right now to name you one Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales. If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales - Instrumental Verse - Who are we ? What we got ? Are we a firework show ? Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone, I find it hard right now to name you one Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales. If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales God's a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats With a fear that is biblical under our hats Who are we ? What we got ? Are we a firework show ? Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone, I find it hard right now to name you one Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales. If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales |

They didn't need a driver
They walked a thousand miles He left her on the roadside He thumbed himself a ride He swore he'd never leave her, he meant it till he did He swore he'd never leave her, he meant it till he did Before you say you're lucky, before you say he's good Knock on wood Broke your promise, broke your word He's climbing up a ladder Heaven has begun He's found another angel She'll take him down a rung or two She swears she'll never leave him, she means it but she will She swears she'll never leave him, she means it but she will Before you say you're lucky, before you say she's good Knock on wood She swears she'll never leave him, she means it but she will She swears she'll never leave him, she means it but she will Before you say you're lucky, before you say she's good Knock on wood Broke your promise, knock on wood Broke your word, knock on wood Broke your promise, knock on wood Broke your word, knock on wood Broke your promise, knock on wood Broke your word, knock on wood |

Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings
When the distant sea blended with the sky Past Coliseum's filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glass I carried in my heart a word or two You dashing horseman all gone away Left you a stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love White and open-necked you would still play I'd resort to sleepwalking to catch the mood that fills the sails With harvest nets and tides don't ever bring But every night was Halloween, and every friend fell in between And how capricious nature ruled my mind You dashing horseman all gone away Left you a stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love White and open-necked you would still play Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings When the distant sea blended with the sky Past Coliseum's filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glass I carried in my heart a word or two But you would always make me see today You dashing horseman all gone away Left you a stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love White and open-necked you would still play I sound so different these days, I barely can believe I'm here If I didn't know better, I would swear I was someone else Lord I can't believe, I don't believe I'm me But who on earth could I be ? You dashing horseman all gone away Left you a stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love White and open-necked you would still play |

Weekday mornings find me moody
I kiss my wife goodbye, I drive the boss to work each day. At the office, no one's watching Can I catch her eye? The hours squeeze by, the boss works late Still I'll always wait and drive her home with me and say... Nancy let your hair down for me Nancy leave the office behind, then Nancy let that fall off your shoulders I'll be your husband once again Nancy Nancy I don't mind I'm happy working overtime Nancy let your hair down for me Nancy leave the office behind, then Nancy let that fall off your shoulders I'll be your husband once again Nancy let your hair down for me Nancy leave the office behind, then Nancy let that fall off your shoulders I'll be your husband once again |

The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting
There for me and all us poor Cripples, who've been in the wars End up sleeping on her floor Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah When you're scared of down and out You keep it to yourself and if anyone suspects You say "Who me? Hardly" You tell him, "Thank your stars, this isn't Derby day 'Cos it's clear you've got the gift For backing the wrong horse, Charlie" Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah When you're scared of down and out You camouflage your fear with a fakin' DJ smile And maybe some boogie dancin' But there's no need to be proud Hey, if something's hurtin' you Could be, it hurts your brothers too From Langley Park to Memphis (Last night) Last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me Singing, sometimes the job gets you down You're ashamed that the word will get 'round Well, all you poor Cripples, who've been in the wars End up sleeping on my floor Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah Now some will spin you yarns to keep you quiet for a while But you know that's not my style, who needs fancy footwork? 'Cos none of it adds up, no, it doesn't weigh a thing And it doesn't buy you beer from Langley Park to Memphis (Last night) Last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me Singing Here you are, and I won't tell you've no one else but me Every night I know you'll be here staring hungrily Well, here you are, no, I won't tell 'cos everyone I know Wanders down here every night, they've nowhere else to go The Venus of the soup kitchen is standing there over me Every night I'm gonna be here staring hungrily The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting there for me And all us poor Cripples, who've been in the wars End up sleeping on her floor |
