When I was seventeen (Tell us about it Green)
there was a world to know about (Check it out) Everyday she'd call me (What'd she say?) Is it over yet? Do you love me? Overnite - and while your trouble's away Under the stars up above - I'll build you another day Close your eyes - I'll be home before it's light And all the tears you cry - will dry in the dead of night And now I'm in between (Tell us about it Green) It all became a mystery (Check it out) Everyday she calls me (What does she say?) It is over yet? Do you believe them? Overnite - and while your trouble's away Under the stars up above - I'll build you another day Close your eyes - I'll be home before it's light And all the fears you have - will die in the dead of night Someday - maybe soon - we could show them a way I would love just to watch it falling Oh my pretty one - show me a way Overnite - I heard a satellite say There'll be a wind from the west - to blow all your dreams away Close your eyes - and maybe before it's light Oh all the hopes that you have - will die in the dead of night |

Gonna get that girl and show her the time of my life
Gonna get that girl and show her the end of the world Maybe I'll be the one thing she needs when I've found her And worn your world away Gonna get that girl and show her the time of my life Gonna get that girl and show her the end of the world She could be free of all that she sees when I've found her And worn her world away We'll believe now - in nothing at all Nothing compares with the love of the one for All we are now - and ever could be Somewhere the forces of love come to disagree Gonna give that girl a present that never arrives Gonna give that girl a future that's hard to believe She could be free of all that she sees when I've found her And worn her world away Gonna give that girl a present that never arrives Gonna give that girl a future that's hard to believe She could be free of all that she sees when I've found her And worn her world away We'll believe now - in nothing at all Nothing compares with the love of the one for All we are now - and ever could be Somewhere the forces of love come to disagree |

'n' everything is gin and roses You are new to me an' I'm so happy You can whisper and I will listen The world becomes a motion picture I got it beat oh I got it licked, yeah Rock-a-girl blue It seems so sad But the film goes dim like a faraway star A frozen frame like silver paper When the kissing gets very hard Just to try and get at something When the representatives turn to leaders As long as you know as long as you need us We'll be there You know it's true Don't they love like a rock-a-boy should Don't they rock like lonely lovers Don't they want to make the money Don't they want to be the Beatles Things ain't clear, they're just transparent The trick of the trade is to make them apparent-ly Rock-a-boy blue You know that I said that you know that I learnt to live with the beats in the bar Made me sick with repetition I learnt to love that one note samba No surprise or definition I guess I can learn to love what I'm used to If you can get used to just getting used by Rock-a-boy blue Baby, then more fool you I learnt to live with the beats in the bar That made me sick with repetition I learnt to love that one note samba No surprise or definition I guess I can learn to love what I'm used to If you can get used to just getting used by Rock-a-boy blue Baby, more fool you |

(Keep slipping
Time keep slipping) Yo, the only thing Majors don't waste is time in bed My timing is rare, take time, time to prepare No time for fear, how many times I said it this year? What time ya going to realise the time is near Call a time out Scritti Politti Majors climb down The cracks in the streets waste no time on beats Most def, mos definitely, the rap sheet The new release, time to make cream, time to take a piece, And at the same time, time to build, time is rilla I swear I bring the heat, the tracks to Val Kilmer. You know that time waits for no man, in time you'll see That you're wasting all your time while you watchin' TV And yo Scritti, I'm on it like walls to graffiti, From night sticks to punches to NYPD From new smell of B.B. King you see me fine (what) You stay away from time man just wasting your time Ya Timetables keep turning - like tinseltown You've got the both ends burning - to the boogie down (Time-time keeps slipping) They play for time And work for spaces Timetables keep turning - and clocks are wound You've got the both ends burning - and worked around And in their prime They change their faces Yeah, from boogiedown to tinseltown, I had 'em all gettin' down My baggage claim's got exotic names, I get around How I'm living now well that's a whole lot different now From where I'm sittin' at I got a whole different vision now. I play the tables hard, wild cards I was flipping down My partner's sitting pat somewhere off in prison now I'm flipping out they switch chains so suddenly The way you act today is the cause where you wanna be Your company shift when you start livin' comfortably The spotlight switch and then you get right from under me Don't front with me, I want to be perfectly clear Time is here I'm keeping yesterday in the rear A current affair most definitely Majors appear But the rock is sitting pretty with the Scritti you hear And it's a block that time sitting you could there, would you? Sit back and look cuz time ???? you Timetables keep turning - like tinseltown You've got the both ends burning - to the boogie down (Time-time keeps slipping) They play for time And work for spaces Timetables keep turning - and clocks are wound You've got the both ends burning - and worked around And in their prime They change their faces Yeah Now one time I thought I had it all Mass of broads, flash awards, cash cards, Time's a double-edged sword, One day you hear applause next day when you leave You catch an L in the C like Christopher Reeves But y'all believe that this pass through dirt in my name Give 'em time because you ain't if I ?? 'em point game At time I used to swerve now I'm learning my lane Trapped in time what a shame with no one to blame. You waste of no one cuz that's slow one, because you're no fun Standing like a shogun, ??? drinking no rum Hey Yoda, you better how do it like you closer 'Cuz time keep slipping, make no difference if you don't come It's me you want record and how he's ???? advisory Get our game and do our thing and spend these moments wisely It's time to make chase get pace, no time to waste First you on then you gone, so long, you've been replaced Timetables keep turning - like county high You've got the both ends burning - to the do or die (Time-time keeps slipping) They set their hearts And fix their courses The timetables keep turning - and dreams of dreams You've got the both ends burning up - of how it seems They steel themselves They are resources Timetables keep turning - like tinseltown You've got the both ends burning up - to the boogie down (Time-time keeps slipping) They play for time And work for spaces Timetables keep turning - and clocks are wound You've got the both ends burning - and worked around And in their prime They change their faces Timetables keep turning You've got the both ends burning up And all the lies you been learning You keep the future ?? Timetables keep turning You've got the both ends burning up And all your lies you been learning You keep the future ?? |

I took a backseat a backhander I took her back to her room
I better get back to the basics for you You gotta conscience compassion you got away with the word You gotta heart full of complacency too I don't have a purpose omission I'm empty by definition I got a lack girl that you'd love to be You wanna diva a deduction you wanna do what they do Wanna do damage that you can undo Apart from everyone away from your love A part of me belongs apart from all the hurt above I got a perfect way to make a new proposition I got a perfect way to make a justification I got a perfect way to make a certain a maybe I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy I took a day job amendment I took a liking to you I took a page out of my rulebook for you You wanna message a confession you wanna martyr me too You wanna margin of error for two Maybe tomorrow the next letter or when the weather gets better I've got to wait here for your moon to turn blue I made an offer an exception I made a sense out of you You took a good look at your book but I knew In times of tenderness in terms baby so true Until such time as I can understand all the things you do Want to forgive you for all the things that you do Wanna forget how to remember with you Maybe tomorrow the next letter or when the weather gets better I've got to wait here for your moon to turn blue This is a perfect way to make a new proposition This is a perfect way to make a justification This is a perfect way to make a certain a maybe This is a perfect way to make the girls go crazy |
