When we meet again
Just refer to me as "back then" Or pretend not to recall Ever knowing me at all Or hanging round my door Begging for more When you begin Playing to win That's when the losers rush in And I... I got better than you At jumping the queue To get closer to seeing Who's who... A man without a home Is never alone Well just look at what he's got The whole parking lot In those unsheltered places There's always other places Take mine for a start It's like a modern work of art Disturbing and lacking in heart And I... I got better than you At jumping the queue To get closer to seeing Who's who... It must be so wonderful Being you every day Oh, it must be so wonderful Always gettin' your way A common dialogue Is the best thing that you'll get From the woman you call wife So try not to forget To tear out and burn The things you unlearn Your future exists In her shopping list Please Call your office And I... I got better than you At jumping the queue To get closer to seeing Who's who... I got better than you I got better than you |

Went out on the balcony in the middle of the night
The hotel was dark except for just one light Television burning in the other room I couldn't sleep so I put on some of your Hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony and looked across the way Some guy was shadow boxing, he looked like sugar ray I was feeling dizzy - began to swoon Was it his punch or was it just your Hollywood perfume? I feel like a fugitive escaped from my life Seeking refuge in the sensual heat These paper-thin walls make me party to calls Of love wafting through the room The night jasmine bloom Of your Hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony to clear my head I was burning up in my queen-sized bed Down on the strip beneath the billboard moon Teenaged girls look for love in the Neon sex and doom Of your Hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony with your photograph I dropped it in the pool and that made me laugh You like your tan but you don't like to swim Meanwhile I feel like I'm drowning in Neon sex and doom The night jasmine bloom Of your Hollywood perfume |

Anger and lust my senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck? When my tongue lay inside his lip Felt like the time in the womb But I woke up with a headache that split my skull Alone in the room I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh I said baby, oh sweetheart Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile I remember the way he groaned and moved with an animal skill I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest It was all very run of the mill But I noticed his scent started to change somehow His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow I said baby, oh sweetheart Bondage to lust, abuse of facility Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee I was sure his intentions were sweet And that mine was as well But a wish is a shot in the dark When your coin's down the well I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head Up to my neck and I said, said, said dead I said baby, oh sweetheart |

Don't you go away
C'mon get close to me The hassles of the day Have made a real mess of me The moon is in the sky And the stars are out tonight They shimmer in the pools of your eyes In the moonlight You're so nice to touch Lovely to look at Touch, touch In the tradition of love Hear the summer breeze All the nighttime's listening Your eyes are sparkling now And their oceans glistening Sail upon a sea Of love filling the room Lilacs seem to be Everywhere with their perfume Love, love Love, love Love, love You can in a breath Blow the storm clouds out the sky A hurricane retreats In the blinking of your eye A flame within my heart Is ignited by your voice C'mon baby now Let's make love our final choice Ooh you're nice to touch Lovely to look at Touch, touch In the tradition of love Love, love Love, love Love, love Shri gouranga Jaya gouranga Gour gour gouranga Nam Gour gour gouranga Nam |

Nobody's perfect
Not even a perfect stranger But oh what a gal She was such a perfect stranger And you're the best in your field In your office with your girls And desk and leather chair Thought that time was on your side But now it's time the avenger Nobody's permanent Everything's on loan here Even your wife and kids Could be gone next year And with what you have left You'll be forever under pressure To support her And a lover who looks strangely Like time the avenger Time, time, hear the bells chime Over the harbor and the city Time, one more vodka and lime To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick Nobody's perfect Not even a perfect gent When your property took the a train I wonder where your manners went You were standing at the station In your briefcase Was your aftershave and underwear Can you hear the whistle blow? Sounds like time the avenger Time, time, hear the bells chime Over the harbor and the city Time to kill another bottle of wine To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick |

Hush little baby, don't you cry
When we get to tucson you'll see why We left the snowstorms and the thunder and rain For the desert sun, we're gonna be born again What's important in this world A little boy, a little girl Hush little darling, go to sleep Look out the window and count the sheep That dot the hillsides and the fields of wheat Across america as we cross america What's important here today The broken line on the highway All the love in the world for you, girl Thumbelina in a great big scary world All the love in the world for you, girl Take my hand and we'll make it through this world Hush little baby, my poor little thing You've been shuffled about like a pawned wedding ring It must seem strange, love was here then gone And the oklahoma sunrise becomes the amarillo dawn What's important in this life Ask the man who's lost his wife |

It's a thin line between love and hate
It's a thin line between love and hate It's five o'clock in the morning And you're just getting in You knock on the front door And a voice sweet and low says Who is it? She opens up the door and lets you in Never once asks where have you been She says are you hungry? Did you eat yet? Let me hang up your coat Pass me your hat All the time she's smiling Never once raises her voice It's five o'clock in the morning You don't give it a second thought It's a thin line between love and hate [2x] The sweetest woman in the world Could be the meanest woman in the world If you make her that way You keep hurting her She'll keep being quiet She might be holding something inside That'll really, really hurt you one day I see her in the hospital Bandaged from foot to head In a state of shock Just that much from being dead You couldn't believe the girl Would do something like this, ha You didn't think the girl had the nerve But here you are I guess action speaks louder than words It's a thin line between love and hate [2x] |

Show me the meaning of the word
Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it They say, "Hey, you can't live without it" Welcome to the human race With its wars, disease and brutality You with your innocence and grace Restore some pride and dignity To a world in decline Welcome to a special place In a heart of stone that's cold and gray You with your angel face Keep the despair at bay Send it away, and Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it I don't want to live without it I don't want to live without it Oh, I want love I want love I want love Welcome here from outer space The Milky Way is still in your eyes You found yourself a hopeless case One that's seeking perfection on earth That's some kind of rebirth, so Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it Don't make me live without it Oh, love I want love I want Love I want love |

When they see someone cut down in their prime It may not show when you look at me But I know I'm in mine I'm potent, baby, I'm potent Dangerous to the naked eye Rest your head on this bed of mother's pride And find out why Don't you wanna take me home? Don't you wanna take me home? Give me a sense of purpose A real sense of purpose now Give me a sense of purpose A real sense of purpose now Bully boys don't bother me I purse my lips and they run away Guys like you who are gentle and true Don't come around here everyday I'm potent, baby, I'm potent Just one swing of me would get most guys smashed But a drop of yours makes me stagger and swerve I guess I'm outclassed Everybody chokes When they see someone cut down in their prime Take this plea to your heart - lift me in mine Don't you wanna take me home?

Talk to me please, Money talk to me. Twenty gets you straight, Forty gets you other, Think of what a hundred could do. I've been gifted with the thing that you want, Who's better than who? Never underestimate a woman like me, The kids have got to eat, And man, that's reality, you see. Money talk to me. You're so deluded, You think that I'm real. You pass your hormones off as love, For five minutes you feel. You can buy a squeegy little silicone sack, But it won't feed the world like the ones that I pack naturally. Money talk to me. |

They're just millionaires
They got the money, but who cares? They'll never be like you and me Cause money can't buy poverty They think they govern our affairs They're just millionaires! When they pass us in their cars They look at us like we're from Mars Those distant eyes look sympathetic We slash their tires cause we're pathetic And we get paid for the repairs By the millionaires! They're just millionaires They got the money They got the money yeah! They're just millionaires They got the money child They got the money yeah! They're just millionaires They got the money child They got the money child yeah! If they'd just leave us in their will We'd all be dressed to kill And burn our polyester flares With the millionaires! |

In the middle of the road,
Is trying to find me. I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me.But, I got a smile For everyone I meet. Long as you don't try dragging my bay, Or dropping a bomb on the street.Come on baby, Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road, yeah.In the middle of the road, You see the darnest things. Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city, Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits. Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and Man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery. But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world, The babies just come with the scenery.Come on baby, Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road, yeah.One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.In the middle of the road, Is my private cul de sac. I can't get from the cab to the curb, Without some little jerk on my back, Don't harass me kid, Can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell, I'm not the cat I used to be, I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby. Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road |

Legalize me
Oh I want the legal right to be me Only me Legalize me Bail me, jail me But they're never gonna nail me Pharmaceutically I was sleeping like a baby in bed When I woke up To a voice in my head "We're all outta rooms Try down the road is what I said" I'm just a farmer And I grow marijuana Oh baby doll Can yo tell that I like that? Oh baby doll We're gonna rattle your combinations Up and down Legalize me Oh I gotta gotta gotta feel free Really free Legalize me Wake me, shake me If they're gonna come and take me Make it legally I been campaigning for The rights of the meek I've been holed up In a tree most the week Hey, sir, your crush boxes Are starting to leak They're saying "never" But we'll wait here Forever and ever and ever and ever Oh baby doll Can yo tell that I like that? Oh baby doll We're gonna rattle your combinations Up and down And if I want to shake my hair In the sun Don't try to flail me For offending anyone I don't take Prozac And I'll never own a gun I'm just a farmer But, I swear I'd never harm her Oh baby doll Can yo tell that I like that? Oh baby doll We're gonna rattle your combinations Up and down ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By HYNDE, CHRISSIE Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing |

I dream you are there with me Though you are far away I know you'll always be near to me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I look around me And feel you are ever so close to me Each tear that flows from my eye Brings back memories of you to me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I was wrong, I will cry I will love you till the day I die You were all, you alone and no one else You were meant for me When morning comes again I have the loneliness you left me Each day drags by Until finally my time descends on me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me |
