A DIFFERENT
CORNER
I'd Say Love Was
A Magical Thing
I'd say love
would keep us from pain
Had i been there
Had i been there
I i would promise you a!! Of my life
Hut to lose you would cut like a knife
So i don't dare
No i don't dare
'Cause i've never come close
In all of these years
You are the on!y
one to stop my rears
And i'm so scared
I'm so scared
Take me back in time
Maybe i can forget
Turn a different corner
And we never
would have met
Would you care?
I don't understand it
For you it's a breeze
Little by little
You've
brought me to my knees
Don't you care?
No i've never come close
In all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of
this love
And if all that there is
Is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If i could, i would, i swear.
A MOMENT WITH
YOU
(You Can't Keep Holding It In
When It's Something Good)
Hey this won't
take much time
We won't touch, we'll just
wait for signs
And nothing was
further from my mind
Than this moment with you
But if you'd
only told me baby
I would have made some other plans
If i'd only seen it sooner
But what away with your hands you had
I wanted that moment with you
I know that its wrung
But "if you need me, i'm
here", turns me on
I can't help thinking its a
miracle you're here
I can't help thinking its a
miracle
Say, you don't waste much
time
We don't touch, do we baby?
But still
my hands are tied
For that moment with you
But if you'd
only told me baby
I would have made some other plans
If i'd only seen it sooner
But what a way
with your hands you have
I wanted that moment with you
You know that i'm
strong
And i've no reason to fear, am i
wrong?
I can't help thinking it's a
miracle you're here
I can't help thinking it's a
miracle
I can't help thinking it's american
I can't help thinking it's a
miracle
I can't help thinking it's a
miracle you're here
You can't keep holding it in
when it's something good
Get up, get up
You can't keep holding it in
when it's something good
Get up,get
up
And who can you
trust? Dealing out justice
With a minimum of fuss
Who baby Dealing out justice. . .
AS
As Around The Sun The Earth
Know She's Revolving
And the rosebuds
know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love's the
cure
You can rest your mind assured that
I'll be loving you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
Hut in passing will grow older everyday
Just as ail that's born is new
You know what i say is true
That i'll be
loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that 8õ8õ8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day
As today i
know i'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past
But that i mustn't fear
I know deep in my mind
The love of me i've
left behind
Cause i'll be loving you always.
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8õ8õ8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more
Did you know that true love asks for nothing?
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day
As around the sun the earth knows
she's revolving
And the rosebuds
know to bloom in early may
For now i
know deep in my mind
The love of me i've
left behind
Cause i'll
he loving you always.
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more
CARELESS
WHISPER
I Feel So Unsure
As i take your hand
And lead you to
the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes
Chorus
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no
rhythm
Though
it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that i've
been given
So i'm never gonna dance again
The way i danced with you
Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's
no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
Chorus
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance
with me
Please stay
Chorus
Now that you've gone
Now that you've gone
Now that you've gone
Was what i did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone
COWBOYS AND
ANGELS
When your heart's in someone else's hands
Monkey see
and monkey do
Their wish is your command
You're
not to blame
Everyone's
the same
All you do is love and love is all you do
I should know by now the way i
fought for you
You're
not to blame
Everyone's
the same
I know you think that you're
safe
Mister Harmless deception
That keeps love at bay
It's the ones who
resist that we most want to kiss
Wouldn't
you say?
Cowboys and angels
They all have the time for you
Why should i imagine that i'd be a find for you
Why should i imagine
That i'd
have something to say
But that scar on
your face
That beautiful face of yours
In your heart there's a trace
Of someone before
When your heart's in someone else's plans
Things you say and things you do
They don't understand
It's such a shame
Always ends the same
You can call it love but i don't think it's true
You should know by now
I'm not the boy
for you
You're
not to blame
Always ends the same
I know you think that you're
safe
Sister Harmless affection
That keeps things this way
It's the ones who
persist for the sake of a kiss
Who will pay
Cowboys and angels
They all take a shine to you
Why should i imagine that i was designed for you
Why should i believe
That you would stay
DESAFINADO
Se Voce Disser Que Eu Desafi No Amor
Saiba que isto em mim
provocaimensa dor
So
privilegia dos tern ou vidoigual ao seu
Eu possuo a penas î que deus me deu
Se voce insiste em classificar
Î meu comportamento de anri musical
Eu mesmo menrindo possoargu mencar
Que is ãî ¸ bossa nova que is to ¸ mui to natural
Î que voce nao sabe nem siquer presente
¸ que os desafindos rambem tern coracao
Fotografei voce na minha rolleiflex
Revelouse a sua enor mein gratidao
So nao podera fatar assim do meu amor
¸ le ¸ î maior que voce pode enconirar 'viu'
Voce corn a sua musica es que ecu î principal
¸ que no peito dos desafindos
No fundo do peito bate cala do
¸ que no peito dos desafina
Dos tambem bate um coracao
DON'T LET THE
SUN GO DOWN (ON ME)
I can't light no more of your
darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing
tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
It's much to late
to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of fife
But you misread
my meaning when i met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the sun
go down on me
Although i search myself, it's always someone else i see
I'd just allow a
fragment of your life to wander free
But losing
everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find oh, the right
romantic line
But see me once
and see the way i feel
Don't discard me
just because you think i mean you harm
But these cuts i have, oh they need love to help them heal
Don't let the sun
go down on me
Although i search myself, it's always someone else i see
I'd just allow a
fragment of your life to wander free
But losing
everything is like the sun going down on me
Don't let the sun
go down on me
Although i search myself, it's always someone else i see
I'd just allow a
fragment of your life to wander free
But losing
everything is like the sun going down on me
FAITH
Well I Guess It Would Be Nice
If i could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But i've got to chink twice
Before i give my heart away
And i know all the games you play
Because i play them too
Oh but i
Need some rime off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that
love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But i'm showing you the door
'Cause i gorra
have faith....
Baby
I know you're asking me to
stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say i'm
giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who
tied me down to loverhoy rules-
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby i reconsider
My foolish notion
Well i need someone to hold
me
But i'll wait for something
more
Yes i've got to have faith....
FANTASY
One Day You Say You Love Me
The next you tell me you don't
One day you say you will
The next you tell me you won't
Hey little baby, there ain't
much point in hanging around, yeah
One day you make me feel that your love is in my hands
One day you say you'll stay
The next you're changing your plans
Hey little baby, there ain't
much point in hanging around, yeah
'
I'll rind another
fantasy
It's kind of
funny that you think
That i'm the boy to make you
cry
I can make you happy if only for a while, little baby
Oh little baby, i can give
you all the loving that your heart desires
'
I'll find another
fantasy
I said it could be the price of love
Could be the price of hate
What am i guilty of?
Why do you make me wait so long?
I don't know your intentions
Look to the skies above
I'm in the hands
of fate
Push 'til it gets to shove
I've got
to know for heavens sake is this love,
is this love or
invention
'Cos baby can't you see
I'll find another
fantasy
You hang around the people who you are sure make you
cry
And i can make you happy if
only for a while, little baby
Oh little baby, i can give
you all the loving that your heart desires
If only for a while little baby
Oh little baby, i can give
you all the loving that your heart desires
'
I'll find another
fantasy
You take someone's heart and you kick it around
Keep on picking it up so you can watch it come down
I don't know what i'm supposed to do
Why i wait fur you to make
up your mind
Could you please be so kind
When you know what to do
I'll be in the
next room
But if you leave
it too late i may be in the next state
FASTLOVE
Looking for some education
Made my way into the night
All that bullshit conversation
Well haby can't
you read the signs?
I won't bore yuu with the details baby
I don't even want to waste
your time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, i ain't mr. Right
But if you're looking for fastlove
If that's love in your eyes
It's more than
enough
Had some had luck
So fastlove is all that i've got on my mind
What's
there to think about baby?
Looking for some affirmation
Made my way into the night
My friends got their ladies,
They're
all having babies
But i just want to have some fun
I won't bore you with the
details haby
Gonna get there in
your own sweet time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, i ain't mr. Right
Chorus
What's
there to think about baby?
Get yourself some lessons in love
In the absence of security
I made my way into the night
Stupid cupid keeps on calling me
But i see nothing in his eyes
I miss my baby
I miss my baby, oh yeah
So why don't we make a little room
In my bmw babe
Searching for some peace of mind
Hey i'll help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing
The same religion
You really ought to get up now
Looking for some affirmation?
FATHER FIGURE
That's
All I Wanted
Something special, something sacred -
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes i think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this time is forever..
Say it can be
That's
all you wanted
Something special, someone sacred -
In your life
Just for one moment
To be warm and naked
At my side
Sometimes i think that you'll never
Understand me
But something
tells me together
We'd be happy
(baby) I will be your father
figure
(oh baby) Put your tiny hand
in mine
(i'd
love to) I will be your preacher teacher
(be your daddy) Anything you
have in mind
(it would make me) I will be
your father figure
(very happy) I have had
enough of crime
(please let me) I will be the
one who loves you -
Until the end of time
That's
all i wanted
But sometimes love can be mistaken
For a crime
That'sail i wanted
Just to see my baby's
Blue eyed
shine
This time i think that my lover
Understands me
If we have faith in each other
Then we can be Strong
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
I will be your father figure
I have had enough of crime
I will be the one who toves
you
Until the end of time
If you are the desert
I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger -
Hunger for me
Whatever you ask for
That's
what i'll be. .
So when you remember the ones who have lied
Who said that they cared
But then laughed as you cried
Beautiful darling
Don't think of me
Because all i ever wanted
It's in your eyes baby, baby
And love can't
lie. No...
(greet me with the eyes of a
child)
(heaven is a kiss and a
smile)
Just hold on, hold on
I won't let you go, my baby
I will be your father figure
Put your tiny hand in mine
I will be your preacher teacher
Anything you have in mind
Will be your father figure
Have had enough of crime
So i am gonna
love you)
Until the end of time
Will be your father
Will be your preacher
'Ii be your daddy
Will be the one who loves you until the end of time
FREEDOM '90
I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some
faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that i've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because i would really,
really love to stick around
Heaven knows i was just a
young boy
Didn't
know what i wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirls
pride and joy
And i guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll tv
But today the
way i play the game is not the same
No way
Think i'm gonna get me some happy
I think there's something you
should know
I think it's time i told you so
There's
something deep inside of me
There's
someone else i've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these ties and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that i don't belong to
you
And you don't
belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what
you rake
Freedom
You've gotta give for what
you take
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big-shot goodtime band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on mtv
But today the
way i play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now i'm gonna
get myself happy

HEAL THE PAIN
Let me tell you a secret
Pur it in your
heart and keep it
Something that i want you to
know
Do something for me
Listen to my simple story
And maybe we'll
have something to show
You tell me you're old on the
inside
How can the outside world
Be a place that your heart can embrace
Be good to yourself
Because nobody else
Has the power to make you happy
How can i help you
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
That you're reeling inside
Whenever you want me
You know that i will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine
He must have really hurt you
To make you say the things that you do
He must have really hurt you
To make those pretty eyes look so blue
He must have known
That he could
That you'd never leave him
Now you can't see my love is
good
And that i'm not him
How can i help you
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
Won't you let me inside
Whenever you want me
You know that i will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine
Who needs a lover
That can't be a freind
Something tells me i'm the one you've been looking for
If you ever should see him again
Won"t
you tell him you've found someone who gives you more
Someone who will protect you
Love and respect you
All those things
That he never could bring to you
Like i do
Or rather i
would
Won't you show me your heart
Like you should
Won't you let me in
Let this love begin
Won't you show me your heart now
I'll be good to
you
I can make this true
And get to your
heart somehow
I CAN'T MAKE
YOU LOVE ME
Turn Down The Light
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronise
Don't patronise
'Cause i can't
make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart
feel something that it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And i feel the power
But you won't,
no you won't
'Cause i can't
make you love me if you don't
I'll close my
eyes, then i won't see
The love you don't feel when
you're holding me
Mornin'
will come and i'll do what's right
Just give me till then to
give up this fight
And i will give up this fight
'Cause i can't
make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart
feel something that it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And i feel the power
But you won't,
no you won't
'Cause i can't
make you love me if you don't
I KNEW YOU
WERE WAITING (FOR ME)
Like a warrior that fights
And wins the battle
I know the taste of victory
Though i went through some nights
Consumed by the shadows
I was crippled emotionally
Somehow i made it through the heartache
Yes i did. I escaped.
I found my way out of the darkness
I kept my faith (i know you
did), kept my faith
When the river was deep i didn't falter
When the mountain was high i still believed
When the valley was !ow it didn't stop me, no no
I knew you were waiting. I knew you were waiting for
me
With an endless desire i
kept on searching
Sure in time our
eyes would meet
Like the bridge is on fire
The hurt is over, one touch and you set me free
I don't regret a single
moment, no i don't looking hack
When i think of all those
disappointments
I just laugh (i know you
do), i just laugh
When the river was deep i didn't fairer
When the mountain was high i still believed
When the valley was low it
didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting. I knew you were waiting for
me
So we were
drawn together through destiny
I know this love we snared
was meant to be
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting for me
I WANT YOUR
SEX I
There's things
that you guess
And things that you know
There's
boys you can trust
And girls that you don't
There's
little things you hide
And little things that you show
Sometimes you think you're gonna
get it
But you don't
and that's just the way it goes
I swear i won't
tease you
Won't tell you no lies
I don't need no bibte
Just look in my eyes

Now that we're friends
Every man's got his patience
And here's where
mine ends
I want your sex
I want you
I want your sex
It's playing on
my mind
It's dancing on
my soul
It's taken so
much time
So why don't you just let me go
I'd really like
to try
Oh i'd really love to know
When you tell me you're gonna
regret it
Then i tell you that i love you but you still say no!
I swear i won't
tease you
Won't tell you no lies
I don't need no bibte
Just look in my eyes
I've waited so
long baby
Out in the cold
I want your sex
I want your love
I want your.. Sex
It's natural
It's chemical (let's do it)
It's logical
Habitual (can we do it?)
It's sensual
But most of
all...
Sex is something we should do
Sex is something for me and you
Sex is natural - sex is good
Not everybody does it
But everybody
should
Sex is natural - sex is fun
Sex is best when it's... One
on one
One on one

father

brother

Will we ever?
Sexy baby's (sexy baby's)
Sexy body (sexy body)
Keeps me guessing
With a promise
I know we can come together
But the question
is
Will we ever?
Together - you and me
JESUS TO A
CHILD
Kindness in your eyes
I guess you heard me cry
You smiled at me
Like jesus
to a child
I'm blessed i know
Heaven sent and heaven stole
You smiled at me like
Jesus to a child
And what have i learned
From all this pain
I thought i'd
never feel the same
About anyone or anything again
But now i know
When you find a love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's
no hope in sight
Sadness in my eyes
No one guessed, well no one tried
You smiled at me
Like jesus
to a child
Loveless and cold
With your last breath you
saved my soul
You smiled at me
Like jesus
to a child
And what have i learned
From all these tears
I've waited for
you all those years
Then just when it began
He took your love away
But i still say
Repeat chorus
So the words you could not say
I'll sing them
for you
And the love we
would have made
I'll make it for
two
For every single memory
Has become a part of me
You will always be...my love
Well i've
been loved
So i know just what love is
And the lover
that i kissed is always by my side
Oh the lover i still miss...was jesus to a
child.
KILLER
So You Want To Be Free
To live your life the way you wanna
be
Will you give if we cry
Will we live or will we die
Tainted hearts heal with time
Shoot bad love so we can
Stop the bleeding
Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that
Wants to live?
Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that
Wants to give?
Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that
Wants to live?
Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that
Wants to give?
If we try to live our lives
The way we wanna
be
Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that
Wants to live?
Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that
Wants to give?
Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that
Wants to live?
Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that
Wants to give?
Racism in future kings, can only lead to no good
And besides, all our sons and daughters already
Know how that feels
KISSING A
FOOL
You Are Far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never
find
Peace of mind,
Til you listen
to your heart
People
You can never change the way they feet
Better let them do just what they will
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew i loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through
Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and ties
So goodbye
But please don't
take my heart
You are far
I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the
pieces
And mend my
heart
Maybe i'll
be strong enough
I don't know where to start
But i'll never find
Peace of mind
While i listen to my heart
People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they will,
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart
And people
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew i loved you
We could have shown them all
But remember
this
Every other kiss
That you ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
Like i always do
There's
something there
That can't compare with any
other
You are far
When i could have been your
star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Strange that i was wrong
enough
To think you'd love me too
I guess you were kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool
MONKEY
Why Can't You Do It?
Why can't you set your monkey
free?
Always giving in to it -
Do you love the monkey or do you
love me?
Why can't you do it
Why do i have to share my
baby with a monkey?
Oh i count to ten
But i don't know how and i don't know
when
To open my eyes
If you kiss me again
Like you did just
now, like you did just then -
I've had the rest
Now it's time i had the best
So you tell me
that you won't do anymore
Well i'd
write your heart a letter
But i think you know me better
If i keep on askin' baby, maybe
I'll get what i'm askin' for
Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey
free?
Always giving in to it -
Do you love the monkey or do you
love me?
Why can't you do it
Why do i have to share my
baby with a monkey?
Oh i hate your friends
But i don't know how and i don't know
when
To open your eyes
Yes the monkey's back again
Do you want him now like you
did back then?
I tried my best
But your head is
such a mess
So i guess that i don't want you
anymore
Well you say you care about me
That you just can't do
without me
But you keep on dancin' baby
'Til that monkey has you on
the floor
Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey
free?
Always giving in to it -
Do you love the monkey or do you
love me?
Why can't you do it
Why do i have to share my
baby with a monkey?
Don't look now
There's a
monkey on your back
Don't look now
There's a
monkey on you...
ONE MORE TRY
I've had enough
of danger
And people on
the streets
I'm looking out
for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
so if you love
me, say you love me
But if you don't
Just let me go
'Cause teacher, there are things
That I don't want to learn
And the last one
I had made me cry
So I don't want
to learn to hold you, touch you
think that you're
mine
because
there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who's teacher has
told him goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at
your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
Then I look in your eyes telling me no
So you say that
you love me now that you leave me
I wrote this song, I know it's
wrong
Just let me go
Cause teacher that are things
That I don't want to learn
Oh the last one
I had made me cry
So I don't want
to learn to hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
for an uptown boy
Who's teacher as
told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
So when you say
that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I knowyou're wrong you're
not that strong
Let me go
So teacher that are things
That I still have to learn
But the one
thing I have is my pride
So I don't want
to learn to
hold you, touch
you
Think that you're mine
because
there ain't no joy
for an uptown
boy
Who's just as I'm
willing to try
I'm so cold
inside
Maybe just one more try
OUTSIDE
(Let's go outside)
(Let's go outside)
Outside, Outside...
Back to nature
Just human nature
Hidden in the back
I think I'm done with the
sofa
I think I'm done with the
hall
I think I'm done with the
kitchen...table maybe
(Let's go outside)
In the sunshine
I know you want to
But you can't
say yes
(Let's go outside)
In the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best
Oh my angel she says don't you worry
About the things that they're saying Yeah
Got my friends in high places
And the game that you gave away
Was it worth playing?
(Let's go outside)
In the sunshine
I know you want to
But you can't
say yes
(Let's go outside)
In the meantime
Take me to the places that I love best
And yes I've
been bad
Doctor won't you do with me,
What you can
You see I think about it all of the time
24/7 (24...24/7)
You say you want it, you got it
I've never really
said it...before
There's
nothing here but flesh and bone
There's nothing more
Nothing more
There's nothing more
Back to nature
Just human nature
Hidden on the backdoor
I think I'm done with the
sofa
I think I'm done with the
hall
I think I'm done with the
kitchen...table baby
(Let's go outside)
In the sunshine
I know you want to
But you can't
say yes
(Let's go outside)
In the moonshine
Take me to the places that I love best
And yes I've
been bad
Doctor won't you do with me
What you can
You see I think about it all of the time
I'd service the
community
What I already have
Hey you
I've never really
said it before
There's
nothing here but flesh and bone
There's nothing more
Nothing more
There's nothing more
Let's go outside
Doesn't
own a deep dream baby?
When the moon is hard
And the grass is
joking? C'mon
Just keep on funkin?
Keep on funkin?
Just keep on funkin?
PRAYING FOR
TIME
These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate
excuses
The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us
are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll take
our chances
Because god's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us alt out to play
Turned his back and all god's children
Crept out the back door
And it's hard to
love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded
skies above say it's much too late
Well maybe we should all be praying for time
These are the days of the empty hand
Oh you hold on
to what you can
And charity is a
coat you wear twice a year
This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find
that what was over there is over here
So you scream from behind your door
Say "what's
mine is mine and not yours"
I may have too much but i'll take my chances
Because god's stopped keeping score
And you cling to
the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back
Beacuse
he has no children to come back for
It's hard to love there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded
skies above say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time
SOMEBODY TO
LOVE
Can Anybody Find Me
Somebody to love?
Each morning i get up i die a little
Can't barely stand on my feet
Take a look
in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing ro me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But i just can't get no relief, lord
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me someone to love
I work hard everyday of my life
I work till i ache my bones
At the end i take home my
Hard earned pay ail of my own
I get down on my knees and i
start to pray
'Til
the tears run down from my eyes, lord
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love
Everyday i try and i try
But everybody
want to put me down
They say i go'in crazy
They say i got a lot of
water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody to believe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, somebody
Somebody can anybody find me
Somebody to love
Got no feel, i got no rhythm
I just keep losing my bear
I'm ok, i'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just got ta get out of
this prison cell
One day i'm gonna be free, lord
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to tove
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
Somebody find me somebody
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me
Somebody to love
Find me somebody to love!
Find me somebody to love!
Find me, find me, find me, find
me.
SPINNING THE
WHEEL
You ain't
home
I can't help thinking that's
strange
Baby i just want you to know
I won't go through it again
Yes, those clouds are closing in
And i will not accept this as a part of my life
I will not live in fear
Of what may be
And the lessons i have learned...
I would rather be alone than watch you
Spinning that wheel for me
You've got a
thing about danger
Ain't
you getting what you want from me
You've got a
thing about strangers
Baby that's what we used to
be
You've got a
thing about danger baby
I guess the hungry just can't
see
One of these days
You're gonna bring some home
to me
I can't help thinking that's
strange
It seems that everybody take some home to me
I can't help thinking that's
strange
It seems that everybody takes
Their chances
These days
Oh yeah, we're standing in the rain
And i will not accept this as a part of my life etc....
How can you love me
When you are playing with my life
You say give me time and i'll
do better i swear
Give me time and i'll
lead you back to despair
And i don't want to go back there
STAR PEOPLE
'97
Star People
Counting your money rill your soul turns green
Star people
Counting the cost of your desire to be
seen
I do not count myself among you
I may be living in a dream
It's just there
seem so many of you
Can't help but hope
There's a difference between....you
and me
You're a
star
(i'm
talking to you)
You're a
star
Maybe your mama gave you up boy
(it's the same old same old)
Maybe your daddy didn't love
you enough girl
Star people
Never forget your secret's safe with me
Just look at all the wonderful people
Trying to forget they had to pay for what you see
It's a dream
With a nightmare stuck in the middle
But where would you
be
Without all of that attention
You'd die I'd die
We'd die wouldn't
we
(well wouldn't we)
Big, big, star!
Should go far!
Chorus
Talk about your mother
Talk about your father
Talk about the people
Who have made you what you are
Talk about your teacher,
The bully boy who beat you
Talk about the people who have paid
For that new sports car
Did you get off on a bad foot, baby
Do you have a tittle tale to
tell
Is that why you're a star?
Is that what makes a star?
Nothing comes for nothing, baby
That fame and fortune's heaven sent
And who gives a fuck about your problems, darling
When you can pay the rent
How much is enough?
THE STRANGEST
THING 97
Take My Life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognise
People i care for
Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyse
Please just be there for me
The things that i know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
There's a
liar in my head
There's a
thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is i cannot get my eyes open
Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That i cannot find
Inside my head
Wake me with love
It's all i need
But in all this time
Still no one said...
If i had not asked
Would you have told me
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me
There's a
liar in my head
There's a
thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is i cannot get my eyes open
Give me something i can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me,
We've wasted so
much time
So much time
TOO FUNKY

WAITING FOR
THAT DAY
Now every day i see you in
some other face
They crack a smile, talk a white
Try to take your place
My memory serves me far too well
I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
You're a
too! Boy
Why don't you go down
Find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory serves me far too well
It's not as
though we just broke up
It's not as
though it was yesterday
But somethng i just can't explain
Something in me needs this pain
I know i'll
never see your face again
C'mon now
I've got to he
strong now
Now everybody's talking about
this new decade
Like you say the magic number
Then just say goodbye to
The stupid mistakes you made
Oh my memory serves me far too weil
Don't you know that
The years will come and go
Some of us will change our lives
Some of us still have nothing to show
Nothing baby
But memories
And if these wounds
They are self inflicted
I don't really know
How my poor heart could have protected me
But if i have to carry this
pain
If you will not share the blame
I deserve to see your face again
C'mon now
You don't have to be so
strong now
Come back
Come back to me darling
I will make it worth your while
Come on back to your baby
I miss your kiss
I miss your smile
Seems to me the peace i
search to find
Ain't gonna be mine unti!
You say you will
Don't you keep me waiting for that day
I know You hear these words
that i say
You can't always get what you
want. . .
YOU HAVE BEEN
LOVED
She takes the back road and the lane
Past the school that has not changed
In all this time
She thinks of when the boy was young
All the battles she had won
Just to give him life
That man
She loved that man
For all his life
But now
we meet to take him flowers
And only
god knows why
For what's the use in pressing palms
When children fade in mother's arms
It's a cruel
world
We've so much to
lose
And what we have
to learn, we rarely choose
So if it's god who took her son
He cannot be the one living in her mind
Take care my love, she said
Don't think that
god is dead
Take care my love, she said
You have been loved
If i was weak, forgive me
But i was terrified
You brushed my eyes with angels
wings, full of love
The kind that makes devils cry
So these days
My life has changed
And i'll be fine
But she just sits and counts the hours
Searching for her crime
So what's the
use of pressing palms
If you won't keep such love from harm
It's a cruel
world
You've
so much to prove
And heaven help
the ones who wait for you
Well i've
no daughters, i've no sons
Guess i'm
the only one
Living in my life
Take care my love, he said
Don't think that
god is dead
Take care my love, he said
You have been loved
I'M YOUR MAN
Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to baby
But I know that
you're sad
And I know I'll
make you happy
With the one thing that you never had
Baby, I'm your man (don't you
know that?)
Baby, I'm your man
You bet!
If you're gonna
do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
So good...
You're
divine
Wanna take you, wanna make you
But they tell me
it's a crime!
Everybody knows where the good people go
But where we're
going baby
Ain't
no such word as no!
Baby, I'm your man (don't you
know who I am?)
Baby, I'm your man
You bet!
If you're gonna
do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
Come on baby, (ooh, take me home
Please don't leave me here,
to do it on my own...)
First class information
I'll be your
sexual inspiration
And with some stimulation
We can do it right...
So why waste time
With the other guys?
When you can have mine
I ain't
askin' for no sacrifice
Baby your friends do not need to know!
I've got a
real nice place to go
Listen,
I don't need you to care
I don't need you to
understand
All I want is for you to be there
And when I'm
turned on
If you want me-
I'm your man!
If you're gonna
do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
Now listen
If you're gonna
do it - you know what I say?
If you're gonna do it don't
throw it away
Don't throw it
baby
Because
I'll be your boy,
I'll be your man
I'll be the one
who understands
I'll be your
first, I'll be your last
I'll be the only
one you ask
I'll be your
friend, I'll be your toy
I'll be the one who brings you joy
I'll be your
hope, I'll be your pearl
I'll take you
halfway 'round the world!
I'll make you
rich - I'll make you poor
Just don't use the door
Do it with me...
