Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee goes cold Look over there (where?) There, there's a lady that I used to know She's married now or engaged or something, so I'm told Is she really going out with him? Is she really gonna take him home tonight? Is she really going out with him? 'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going wrong around here Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth Look over there (where?) There, here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend They say that looks don't count for much, if so, there goes your proof Is she really going out with him? Is she really gonna take him home tonight? Is she really going out with him? 'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going wrong around here Around here But if looks could kill There's a man there who is marked down as dead 'Cause I've had my fill Listen you, take your hands from her head I get so mean around the scene Hey, hey, hey Is she really going out with him? Is she really gonna take him home tonight? Is she really going out with him? 'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going wrong around here Around here Something going wrong around here Something going wrong around here Something going wrong around here Something going wrong around |

Me and number one are through There won't be too much to do Just smile when I feel blue And there's not much left of me What you get is what you see Is it worth the energy? I'll leave it up to you And if you got something to say to me Don't try to lay your funny ways on me I know that it's really not fair of me But my heart's seen too much action And every time I look at you You'll be who I want you to And I'll do what I can do To make a dream or two come true (If you'll be my) If you'll be my number two And if you got something to say to me Don't try to lay your funny ways on me I know that it's really not fair of me But my heart's seen too much action And every time I look at you You'll be who I want you to And I'll do what I can do To make a dream or two come true (If you'll be my) If you'll be my number two |

Everybody's wasting time
Everybody stands in line Think of Babe Ruth and you think of hot dogs and beer But if he could hit a home run so can you And your weight is just nowhere near Am I making myself quite clear? Is that the best you can do?

Is that the best you can do? Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it If that's the best you can do Get out of my life Be anyone's wife And do what you like, but Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, ooh Go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it Think of Babe Ruth and you think of hot dogs and beer But if he could hit a home run so can you And your weight is just nowhere near Am I making myself quite clear?

I'm in a movie where boy meets girl
What happens to me in this brave new world? Do I listen to my heart, do I listen to my head? Do I look at what I see, or remember what I read? When I tell you how I feel, do I wonder what I've said? Is there nothing we can do about it? Anyone Anyone can be so hard hearted But everyone Still everybody wants a happy ending It's not so easy, it's '84 now How tough must we be to ask for more now? Do I listen to my head, do I listen to my heart? Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we're apart? Do I think about the end when it's only just the start? Is there nothing we can do about it? Anyone Anyone can be so hard hearted But everyone Still everybody wants a happy ending I get so scared when I see the evidence against our case Each movie so far this year ends up with someone crying Or even someone dying Do I listen to my head, do I listen to my heart? Do I try to feel the same as I feel when we're apart? Do I think about the end when it's only just the start? Is there nothing we can do about it? Anyone Anyone can be so hard hearted But everyone Still everybody wants a happy ending |

These words of love so hard for me to find
How can I change my mind if you can only lie? These shattered dreams I try to build again But looks could kill again and I'm too young to die Smiling faces all around us You don't wanna make a scene Not here, not now And I don't wanna cry We drink the wine like we were really friends But can our sadness end and work turn into play? We dress so fine and step out on the town And friends may gather round but soon will turn away Smiling faces all around us You don't wanna make a scene Not here, not now And I don't wanna cry Smiling faces all around us You don't wanna make a scene Not here, not now And I don't wanna cry |

Did you do me right?
Did I do right by you? When I bare my soul it seems you do not hear Can this be true? Am I a fool to fight? I could do just what you say But I'm following my heart and that takes me another way It's not easy when there's no one giving prizes at the end Waiting in the wings Wishing that the band would start to play As the show begins Wonder what the critics have to say Waiting Waiting For the verdict Some people live so fast They're so scared of getting old Some people keep on working All they do is line their graves with gold We don't know what happens when we die We only know we die too soon But we have to try or else our world becomes a waiting room Would you testify for me? I think I'd do the same for you Waiting in the dark Waiting for the phone to ring all day My witness disappears Wonder what the jury has to say Waiting Waiting For the verdict Waiting Waiting Waiting Waiting |

Sometimes you start feeling so lost and lonely
Then you find it's all been in your mind Sometimes you think someone is the one and only Can't you see it could be you and me? But if there's any doubt Then I think I'll leave it out 'Cause I'll tell you one thing You can't get what you want Till you know what you want Said you can't get what you want Till you know what you want Sometimes you keep busy reaching out for something You don't care, there's always something there Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing If it's right you could sleep at night But it can take some time But at least I'm here in line 'Cause I'll tell you one thing You can't get what you want Till you know what you want Said you can't get what you want Till you know what you want Sometimes you can't see that all you need is one thing If it's right you could sleep at night But it can take some time But at least I'm here in line 'Cause I'll tell you one thing You can't get what you want Till you know what you want Said you can't get what you want Till you know what you want I'll tell you one thing You can't get what you want, what you want I'll tell you one thing You can't get what you want, what you want |

Turn off the TV and turn off the light
Turn off the street lamps as well Turn off the billboards that scream through the night And dream the policemen to Hell Close all the windows and close all the doors Close all the shutters and blinds Close down the churches and pray to the whores Lay down and then close your eyes It's amazing what comes into view As we're finally breaking the chains When the temperature rises We'll go to our place in the rain Take down the pictures and take out the trash Take up the tattered old rugs Take up the mattress and count all the cash And laugh with the last of the drugs Burn all the papers and burn all the wood Burn what we can't understand Run up a flag for the old neighbourhood Sit back and then take my hand It's amazing what lovers can do With just a kiss and a glass of champagne When the rivers run dry We can go to our place in the rain Pay off the piper and pay all the bills Pay for the getaway car Blow out the candles and head for the hills Pray that we make it that far Run from the poison and run from the flames Run from the maddening crowd Laugh at the whispers of who'll take the blame And sing all the sinners out loud It's amazing what crazy can do When every good citizen's sane When heaven's a desert We'll go to our place in the rain It's amazing what comes into view When you just connect your heart back to your brain When heaven's a desert We'll go to our place in the rain |

I'm either stone cold certain Or more inclined to doubt it But when you jump into the darkness Well I take off my hat You've changed They say ? You can know when to play or to hold And they think they can show all that glitters is gold And they don't care to go where you go 'cause they know you're insane When you change To the Uptown Train Well I knew ? that you were trouble You were a ten time loser Or maybe even double But you pulled some kind of rabbit From your hippie hat You've changed They say ? Take it slow when you're breaking the mold Got to pay what you owe or be out in the cold And they don't care to know what you know or to go through the pain To change To the Uptown Train |

You had a scowl like a Klingon beauty queen Old enough to stand out but too young to stand with pride So uncomfortable in your messed-up skin And the cool parties never let you in I can still relate to being left so high and dry Don't cry You're just at an awkward age We'll all be fine Disgraceful under pressure Don't tow the line You're just at an awkward age Don't cry - Just at an awkward age Don't cry You're just at an awkward... You look at me like I know what's going on I'm looking back and I wonder what went wrong I really thought by now a few things might just clarify I got a mind that goes out to lunch for days And a body that sometimes disobeys I get into the parties but I hate them 'cause I'm shy Oh my I'm still at an awkward age We'll all be fine Disgraceful under pressure Don't tow the line You're just at an awkward age Don't cry - Just at an awkward age Don't cry You're just at an awkward... We're supposed to be happy Supposed to be tough Supposed to be flawless And buy the right stuff They want us all swimming Don't care if we drown So don't let them take you down It's a scary mountain to climb up without a guide Besides ... We live in an awkward age We'll all be fine Disgraceful under pressure Don't tow the line You're just at an awkward age Don't cry - Just at an awkward age Don't cry You're just at an awkward... age |

But they're not much compared to your house Fifty feet high with barbed wire Guards on the top Aiming rifles at your lovers one by one And friends too I've come with hands above my head But I'm damned if I'll try to break your door down If you ever come out, just call me I'll still be armed With the memory of one evening when you smiled At something Sadness spreads like a black stain But I know by now That's not all there is There's a blue flame inside of you So beautiful and rare Love's not something we decide to do You'd be so hard to love If love was not just... There You tell me women get you down And as for men, well they're all bastards I wonder what world you call home And I wish I could learn their language Just enough to make you laugh Just one time Yes it was nice to see you too Although I'm never sure you mean it I'll pick up the tab, and you won't thank me Not that I mind But in my dreams it's all so different, we even kiss Imagine this Bitterness is a black hole Don't you know by now You've got more to give There's a blue flame inside of you So beautiful and rare Love's not something we decide to do You'd be so hard to love If love was not just...

You stole a wig from your sister
And a gun from your dad I guess I knew when I kissed ya You're a little bit mad You don't care if you get sick Living on a bubble gum Maybe too much lipstick Made your mouth go dumb I have to say that we were suited But you know what they say about Cupid Little bit stupid Little bit stupid So we got ourselves messed up And we did it with style And they way we were dressed up Was a little bit wild Stack heels and tiaras We were oh so redefined Or maybe too much mascara Made my eyes go blind I don't know if we were deluded But I know what they say about Cupid Little bit stupid Little bit stupid I guess to do what me and you did You have to be just a bit like Cupid Little bit stupid Little bit stupid Little bit stupid Just a little bit... |

You turned me upside down and turned my insides out
But that's alright You made me laugh then made me cry then made me shout But that's alright But something keeps on beating in there I guess my heart survived I know I said I couldn't live without you But I'm still alive Still alive Still alive You took me out there on a trip that tripped me out But that's alright I'm still confused about what it was all about But that's alright They say it's better to be travelling than to arrive But then they said I couldn't live without you But I'm still alive Still alive Still alive In the beginning we were there till the end of time It isn't sinning to prepare for the kind of murder That's not a crime I guess I knew you guessed I knew when we were through But that's alright I'd tell you what to do if I could tell what's true But that's alright I think I'd better think it over For a year or five But then I thought I couldn't live without you And I'm still alive |

I should have known you were only just fifteen
You had a scowl like a Klingon beauty queen Old enough to stand out but too young to stand with pride So uncomfortable in your messed-up skin And the cool parties never let you in I can still relate to being left so high and dry Don't cry You're just at an awkward age We'll all be fine Disgraceful under pressure Don't tow the line You're just at an awkward age Don't cry - Just at an awkward age Don't cry You're just at an awkward... You look at me like I know what's going on I'm looking back and I wonder what went wrong I really thought by now a few things might just clarify I got a mind that goes out to lunch for days And a body that sometimes disobeys I get into the parties but I hate them 'cause I'm shy Oh my I'm still at an awkward age We'll all be fine Disgraceful under pressure Don't tow the line You're just at an awkward age Don't cry - Just at an awkward age Don't cry You're just at an awkward... We're supposed to be happy Supposed to be tough Supposed to be flawless And buy the right stuff They want us all swimming Don't care if we drown So don't let them take you down It's a scary mountain to climb up without a guide Besides ... We live in an awkward age We'll all be fine Disgraceful under pressure Don't tow the line You're just at an awkward age Don't cry - Just at an awkward age Don't cry You're just at an awkward... age |

What do you want - blood?
Kids today - they're all the same All call themselves - some crazy name Monks and Rockers and Beatle freaks Punks and Skunks and Kooks and Geeks Look in a mirror but you can't see your face Look in a mirror but you can't see your face All those drugs - they can't be sane All that noise - affects their brains Sniffin' pot - smoking glue Whatever terrible things they do Smokin' LSD and such It must be the reason why they can't talk much And it's such a crime How they waste their time They can't get nowhere They've all gone Beat Crazy Beat Crazy! They say the world - is in a mess But they can talk - the way they dress See the knee through the hole in their jeans A hole in their pocket and it looks so mean Hole in the T Shirt - what's that you said? You're about as clever as a hole in the head Can't get no jobs - can't get careers With safety pins - stuck through their ears Cut your hair - dye it green See it shine - with Brylcreem A little dabble here - a little dab a day Or rub a dub it in a dreadlocks way And it's such a crime How they waste their time They can't get nowhere They've all gone Beat Crazy Beat Crazy! And if the Russians ever come They'll all be beating bongo drums Damn - beatniks rule! Dropped out of kindergarten Dropped out of school Really hot on my bongo drums Really hot on my bongo drums So who'll defend - in World War III Where could we turn - where would they be Tell her! Down the cellar - filled with smoke Laughing at the latest joke Doing the latest dance to do The Fug and the Sheeny and the Suzi Q And it's such a crime How they waste their time They can't get nowhere They've all gone Beat Crazy Look in a mirror but you can't see your face Beat Crazy! |

OK let me tell you 'bout some of the things I'm going through
I know you think that you know but how do you know That what you know is true Well maybe it's time for getting out of line It seems like the done thing to do Some people get crazy Some people get lazy Some people get hazy Some people get out Take me away I said take me away I don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Now the cocaine dens says welcome You're in college now not in school But I'm sorry to say that I'm going out to work While you're going to the swimming pool Where the L.A. sun can turn your brains To scrambled eggs it's true Some people get crazy Some people get lazy Some people get hazy Some people get out Take me away I said take me away I don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that Some people think that they know about some girls Some people think they're cool And some girls think they know about me Some girls think I'm some fool And American girls that put their tongue in your ear When they talk on the telephone And the stars only come out at night When the press and photographers moan and groan And the Playboy centerfold leaves me cold And that ain't 'cause I'm a fag So you playboys can just go play with yourself That's your style 'Cause that's a drag Take me away I said take me away I don't wanna be like that Don't wanna be like that |

It's the death rattle of this rusty old town Stop - listen again It's the sound of laughter all along the Thames Hey - what's my line Do I have to stay here 'til the end of time I'm - good lookin' and bright I wanna see life after ten at night So if they ask you where I am I'm in the back of a Transit Van In a squat on the Earls Court Road Gone down to London turning coal into gold Down to London - Down to London Gone down to London to be the King Hey - what's your name The boys back home all seem to look the same You - should stick with me and one of us will make it, just you see Stop - what's that sound Seems like the sixties are still swingin' around Hey - can you hear me back there or is there anybody left to care So if you ask me where they are They're hanging tough in a Soho bar Playing guitars in the Underground Gone down to London tryin' to chase that sound Down to London - Down to London Gone down to London to be the King So I ask you should I cry or laugh Drinking tea in a Kings Cross Caff A leather jacket against the cold Gone down to London turning coal into gold Down to London - Down to London Gone down to London to be the King |

It's the crack of noon
And I sit here watching you sleeping I only wish that I could remember your name But I know it's written on a matchbook somewhere So maybe I'll find it, and maybe you'll care Or maybe you'll fix me with one of those stares And put up a fight So when you awake I admit I'm relieved As you flash me a smile like a diamond And just for a moment I almost believe In love at first light I propose a breakfast of coffee and aspirin You laugh, suggesting a raw egg or two But oh was it ever so good being bad Like a couple of vampires, deliciously mad Saying this is the best blood that we've ever had So we drank it all night And if we untangle the webs that we weave Then maybe there's room for more laughter 'Cause just for a moment I almost believe In love at first light Feeling cold You put a robe round my shoulders Smile and pull one of your favourite books from my shelf Let's open the curtains and let out the dark And if the sun doesn't melt us and there's still a spark And we do something human like walk in the park The spark could ignite So maybe I'm moonstruck, or maybe naive But I know there's a God and a Devil So maybe I'm crazy enough to believe In love at first light |

It was on a summer night, she says, a year ago today
Packed, the place was packed The chicos lookin' for some play He wore a satin shirt and said a prayer to Yemaya And he was calm and handsome As they squeezed through to the bar The girls were in tight dresses, just like sweets in cellophane Everyone was there Sabroson from Spanish Harlem And luz from Camaguey In her hand a single rose, and in her mouth a razorblade Hot, the place was hot Too many people to be safe Who cared It was our night Watch us seize the day And dance it all away... Bailamos, esa noche, bailamos In Happyland It was on a summer night, she says - yes, it was a year ago Hot, the place was hot but where else were they gonna go And then she heard the screams And saw the smoke come down And then it really turned into the hottest club in town She remembers all the firetrucks And that maldito TV crew And he, he didn't make it So, "mi amor, this song's for you" She's got red shoes on her feet A nd a red smile on her face And people say she's loca, to go back into that place Who cared This is my night Watch me seize the day And dance it all away... Bailare, esta noche, bailare In Happyland |

Of all the stupid things I could have thought
This was the worst I started to believe That I was born at seventeen And all the stupid things The letters and the broken verse Stayed hidden at the bottom of the drawer They'd always been And now I plough through piles Of bills, receipts and credit cards And tickets and the Daily News And sometimes I just . . . Wanna go back to my home town Though I know it'll never be the same Back to my home town 'Cause it's been so long And I'm wondering if it's still there We think we're pretty smart Us city slickers get around And when the going's rough We kill the pain and relocate We're never married Never faithful not to any town But we never leave the past behind We just accumulate So sometimes when the music stops I seem to hear a distant sound Of waves and seagulls Football crowds and church bells And I . . . Wanna go back to my home town Though I know it'll never be the same Back to my home town 'Cause it's been so long And I'm wondering if it's still there Back to my home town Though I know it'll never be the same Back to my home town 'Cause it's been so long And I'm wondering if it's still there |

Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee goes cold Look over there (where?) There, there's a lady that I used to know She's married now or engaged or something, so I'm told Is she really going out with him? Is she really gonna take him home tonight? Is she really going out with him? 'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going wrong around here Tonight's the night when I go to all the parties down my street I wash my hair and I kid myself I look real smooth Look over there (where?) There, here comes Jeanie with her new boyfriend They say that looks don't count for much, if so, there goes your proof Is she really going out with him? Is she really gonna take him home tonight? Is she really going out with him? 'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going wrong around here Around here But if looks could kill There's a man there who is marked down as dead 'Cause I've had my fill Listen you, take your hands from her head I get so mean around the scene Hey, hey, hey Is she really going out with him? Is she really gonna take him home tonight? Is she really going out with him? 'Cause if my eyes don't deceive me, there's something going wrong around here Around here Something going wrong around here Something going wrong around here Something going wrong around here Something going wrong around |

Take your mind back ? I don't know when
Sometime when it always seemed to be just us and them Girls that wore pink and boys that wore blue Boys that always grew up better men than me and you What's a man now ? what's a man mean Is he rough or is he rugged Is he cultural and clean Now it's all change ? it's got to change more 'Cause we think it's getting better but nobody's really sure And so it goes ? go round again But now and then we wonder who the real men are See the nice boys ? dancing in pairs Golden earring golden tan Blow-wave in the hair Sure they're all straight ? straight as a line All the gays are macho Can't you see the leather shine You don't want to sound dumb ? don't want to offend So don't call me a faggot Not unless you are a friend Then if you're tall and handsome and strong You can wear the uniform and I could play along And so it goes ? go round again But now and then we wonder who the real men are Time to get scared ? time to change plan Don't know how to treat a lady Don't know how to be a man Time to admit ? what you call defeat 'Cause there's women running past you now and you just drag your feet Man makes a gun ? Man goes to war Man can kill and man can drink and man can take a whore Kill all the blacks ? kill all the reds And if there's war between the sexes then there'll be no people left And so it goes ? go round again But now and then we wonder who the real men are |

It's three in the morning in the pouring rain I can't find the house and i forgot the number But I gotta give her these roses to relieve her pain Don't laugh... just tell me you've been there before So we fight but we fight every evening And I tell you every morning I just love her more And life goes on... filled with disasters and friction And life can be strange But love can be stranger than fiction Only love can be stranger than fiction Excuse me operator... tell me what time it is Me and my lover been in bed all day I think I strained a muscle I didn't know I had And tell me what day it is anyway Don't laugh... just tell me you hear what I say I love her so much I don't even know what planet I'm on Love her so much I wish she'd just go away And life goes on... filled with bizarre contradictions And life can be strange But love can be stranger than fiction Only love can be stranger than fiction I know that sometimes love goes But sometimes it comes back to getcha And when love grows It grows like a flower or grows like a tumor Love shows that God has a sense of humor Life goes on... ever immune to prediction And life can be strange But love can be stranger than fiction Only love can be stranger than fiction |

At a bar on 43rd at quarter to two
Met my friend the Chinese Elvis and hoisted a few He talks like Mickey Mouse And sees with x-ray eyes Lives in a cardboard house I almost gave him the prize Until you Came along - thanks for opening my eyes Things you do - right or wrong It should come as no surprise When you live in a town where there's always somebody Stranger than you At 83rd and Amsterdam there's an Indian Jew Who pierced all his private parts with a permanent screw He sleeps on a bed of nails Which came from outer space And in my taller tales I gave him pride of place Until you Came along - thanks for opening my eyes Things you do - right or wrong It should come as no surprise When you live in a town where there's always somebody stranger than you Stranger than you I'm not complaining even though I'm not sure what you are I've got the strangest feeling (good) about this love bizarre I could have stayed in bed H iding from this freaky show I'm happy that instead I knew just where to go When you came along - thanks for opening my eyes Things you do - right or wrong It should come as no surprise When you live in a town where there's always somebody Stranger than you Are you a boy - are you a girl Are you an oyster - are you a pearl Are you a fish - are you a fowl? Are you an angel - are you from hell |

You know I'm just a small-town girl
I'm off to see the whole wide world I'm off to see the wizard too Do everything that Dorothy won't do I know I should have stayed at home tonight There's nothing happening but something might It's like a whirlpool and I get sucked in Go round and round and back where I began This town is my town, my town I'm through with their town This town is my town, my town This town's a fairground One-two-three go! One-two-three go! I like the candyfloss and all the rides And feeling inside out in my insides I guess I'm fucking nearly everyone Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever come This town is my town, my town I'm through with their town This town is my town, my town This town's a fairground One-two-three go! One-two-three go! |

Don't you feel like trying something new
Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two You don't do the things that I do You want to do things I can't do Always something breaking us in two You and I could never live alone But don't you feel like breaking out just one day on your own Why does what I'm saying hurt you I didn't say that we were through Always something breaking us in two They say two hearts should beat as one for us We'll fight it out to see it through I say that won't be too much fun for us Though it's oh so nice to get advice It's oh so hard to do Could we be much closer if we tried We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes Maybe we could last an hour Maybe then we'd see right through Always something breaking us in two |

Trying to find Chinatown
Trying to find Chinatown A hungry man Can hold out a long time For some soul food Good food, whole food I know I was that man Maybe sometimes hold out a little too long I took a right Then I took a wrong turn Someone asked me for a quarter It didn't seem to fit He didn't look much like a Chinaman Trying to find Chinatown Trying to find Chinatown An old black man Pushing a shopping trolley Filled with tin cans Avoided his glance I'm nervous and I'm lost And I don't see too many restaurants A guy laid out With a knife in his back A cop came along Told him, move on Go home and sleep it off I didn't know if I should get involved Trying to find Chinatown Trying to find Chinatown |

Take your mind back ? I don't know when
Sometime when it always seemed to be just us and them Girls that wore pink and boys that wore blue Boys that always grew up better men than me and you What's a man now ? what's a man mean Is he rough or is he rugged Is he cultural and clean Now it's all change ? it's got to change more 'Cause we think it's getting better but nobody's really sure And so it goes ? go round again But now and then we wonder who the real men are See the nice boys ? dancing in pairs Golden earring golden tan Blow-wave in the hair Sure they're all straight ? straight as a line All the gays are macho Can't you see the leather shine You don't want to sound dumb ? don't want to offend So don't call me a faggot Not unless you are a friend Then if you're tall and handsome and strong You can wear the uniform and I could play along And so it goes ? go round again But now and then we wonder who the real men are Time to get scared ? time to change plan Don't know how to treat a lady Don't know how to be a man Time to admit ? what you call defeat 'Cause there's women running past you now and you just drag your feet Man makes a gun ? Man goes to war Man can kill and man can drink and man can take a whore Kill all the blacks ? kill all the reds And if there's war between the sexes then there'll be no people left And so it goes ? go round again But now and then we wonder who the real men are |

I'm only glad they do They're gonna pay the bills for me and you People out for an evening They have a real good time But when I play I feel just like I'm miming I made a stand for the music To turn the page with ease I got the smile that says I'm here to please Me and the bass guitarist Have even shined our shoes The drummer's shoes are dirty to confuse I guess someday my kids will ask me 'bout the old days I guess that I'll tell them there ain't much to tell The waiters wore black dinner jackets and all that kind of thing And the band wore blue shirts And the music played on Then at the end of the evening They throw the suckers out Don't get me wrong, I got no beef about it I get my rates from the union I get my shirts real cheap I get my money Get home Get some sleep |

from I Write The Songs: 36 Singer Songwriters Performing... (2005)
Don't you feel like trying something new
Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two You don't do the things that I do You want to do things I can't do Always something breaking us in two You and I could never live alone But don't you feel like breaking out just one day on your own Why does what I'm saying hurt you I didn't say that we were through Always something breaking us in two They say two hearts should beat as one for us We'll fight it out to see it through I say that won't be too much fun for us Though it's oh so nice to get advice It's oh so hard to do Could we be much closer if we tried We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes Maybe we could last an hour Maybe then we'd see right through Always something breaking us in two |

from The Piano And The Song (2004)
Now ?
The mist across the window hides the lines But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine Electricity so fine Look and dry your eyes We ? So tired of all the darkness in our lives With no more angry words to say can come alive Get into a car and drive To the other side Me babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light You babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light We ? Are young but getting old before our time We'll leave the T.V. and the radio behind Don't you wonder what we'll find Steppin' out tonight? You ? Can dress in pink and blue just like a child And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile We'll be there in just a while If you follow me Me babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light You babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light Me babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light You babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light Me babe ? steppin' out Into the night Into the light |
