THE BIG PICTURE
Someone smashed my window
Broke into my brand new car
Last night
Caught my boyfriend lookin'
At another slender pair of thighs
Gotta make more money
Gotta get gotta get there faster
Than the rest
Knock 'em off the ladder
If they even seem to
Stand a chance
The big picture
Gotta big white cloud
The big picture
Is starin' at me
Starin' at me
Why do I feel so threatened
That somebody else will take what's mine
Babe it's only rented
No one really owns the merchandise
What about what I want
Somehow it got lost somewhere inside
My mother's on my case
I told her it's my life
Well, she just died
The big picture
Gotta big white cloud
The big picture
Is starin' at me
The big picture
On a big blank wall
The big picture
Is starin' at me
Starin' at me
When I can see
I'll try again
I've got my paints
The big picture
Gotta big white cloud
The big picture
Is starin' at me
The big picture
On a big blank wall
The big picture
Is starin' at me
Starin' at me

COOL ON YOUR ISLAND
If you don't treat me better
Baby I'll just run away
Baby I don't know what drives you
To play all these silly games
C'mon baby
I'm much stronger than you know
Sometimes I'm not afraid to let it show
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
I gotta brand new dress babe
Could it make you wanna try
I guess I didn't want to notice
The stars gone from your eyes
C'mon baby I'm much stronger than you know
Sometimes I'm not afraid to let it show
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
We could buy an airplane
Build a home in the sand
You could tell your secrets
I could understand
But then by the morning
Comes crumblin' down
And as your leavin'
Wait
When will you wake up
I want you more than the stars and the sun
But I can take only so much
Cool on your island
You're so cool on your island
Is it cool on your island
Is it cool baby
If you don't treat me better
Baby I'll just run away
If you don't treat me one day
You'll wake up cold
Then you'll know
You'll know
You'll know
You love me

FAYTH
Make it in the city
Do what you can
Wave to the boy with a gun in his hand
Lollipop girls pave the street
Stand in line to be in your limousine
You took my love
You took my money
You took my sex
Took my love
Took my money
Give me
Fayth
Help me keep my self together
With a little more
Fayth
With a little more
Fayth yeah
Fayth
I could keep
Our love together
With a little more
Fayth
I could wake up
And face the day
How do you keep the romance there
When a little French maid lives downstairs
Radio blasts as the baby cries
Run to the dragon that runs my life
You took my love
You took my money
You took my sex
Took my love
Took my money
Give me
Fayth
Help me keep my self together
With a little more
Fayth

With a little more
Fayth
I could wake up and face the day
I could wake up and face the day
Maybe I could start again
Why am I afraid of change
Maybe Fayth could understand
Darlin' I remember when I held the violets in my hand
Love can crush held too tight
We could bring it back alive
With a little more
Fayth
Fayth
Help me keep my self together
With a little more
Fayth
With a little more
Fayth yeah
Fayth
I could keep our love together
With a little more
Fayth
I could wake up and face the day

FIRE ON THE SIDE
Purple sunset, orange moon
I'm alone again without you
I knew someone had to lose
Kiss goodbye
Go back to your separate life
That you have with her
Ashes blow in the windy sky
Take my heart as you go
Baby it burns
Baby it burns
Baby it burns
To be your fire on the side
Taste my tears
See how they burn
Baby it burns
To be your fire on the side
Purple sunset, orange moon
How can the music play
When the only band is made of gold
Wrapped around your hand
That I used to hold against my chest every night
But I still can hope you will see I'm your home
Baby it burns
Baby it burns
Baby it burns
To be your fire on the side
Taste my tears
See how they burn
Baby it burns
To be your fire on the side
I knew someone had to lose
Kiss goodbye
Go back to your separate life you have with her
Take my heart as you go
Baby it burns
Baby it burns
Baby it burns
To be your fire on the side
Taste my tears
See how they burn
Baby it burns
To be your fire on the side

PIRATES
Traveled far from my home
Foreign streets paved with stone
Deep in my dreams
Moroccan sand
Now I sail my ship on dry land
There is a light that shines on the frontier
Pirates, yeah
Pirates
And on a dark night when you feel lonely
And the world just can't understand you
Pirates, yeah
Pirates
Steal the jewel
Watch it break
It cuts with an eye
I can't escape
The ruby heals
Alone I stand
When I sail my ship on dry land
There is a light that shines on the frontier
And baby someday we're gonna be there
Pirates, yeah
Pirates
And on a dark night when you feel lonely
And when the world just can't understand you
Pirates, yeah
Pirates
There is a light that shines on the frontier
Pirates, yeah
Pirates
There is a light that shines on the frontier

FLOATING CITY
You went away,
Why did you leave me?
You know I believed you.
Nothing explained,
Where are the answers?
I know I need you.
Tell me is your city paved with gold?
Is there hunger,
Do your people grow old?
Do your governments have secrets that they've sold?
Ev'ry night I wait, take me away
To your floating city.
By my window at night
I see the lights to your floating city.
Come and take me away,
I want to play in your floating city.
Yeah
Floating city, yeah
T.V. turns off
Any of us that
Say we've seen you.
Tell me are we
The only planet
That can't conceive you.
Will we be like Atlantis long ago.
So assured that we're advanced
With what we know
That our spirit never had time to grow.
Ev'ry night I wait, take me away
To your floating city.
By my window at night
I see the lights to your floating city.
Come and take me away,
I want to play in your floating city.
Yeah
Floating city, yeah
Is it weak to look for
Saviors out in space.
Little Earth she tries so hard
To change our ways.
Sometimes she must get
Sick of this place
Ev'ry night I wait, take me away
To your floating city.
By my window at night
I see the lights to your floating city.
Come and take me away,
I want to play in your floating city.
Yeah
Floating city, yeah

HEART ATTACK AT 23
Sirens wake me up, wake me up
With a cry, things we do for attention
Just a little reminder dear
I am still alive
So confused
I almost threw it all away for you
You took me higher
And you dropped me lower
Than I've ever been before
If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23
All my friends
We waste so much love on our men
Why can't I be forgiving
While he been out a-messin'
With his Argentine baby
If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23
I must be dreaming
We were together
In a land of scarlet ribbon
That tied you to me darlin'
Roll, roll, roll, roll on
But you know I'm never satisfied
With all the good things in my life
I thought I needed you to be strong
I'll still miss you when I'm gone
If I have a heart attack at 23
I'm loving you too much
If I have a heart attack at 23
Wave bye-bye
You'll miss me
You'll miss me baby
If I have a heart attack at 23

ON THE BOUNDARY
You said you wanted safer ground
But you got caught up in the river
I was there to save you boy
But you'd rather drown
You said you were unhappy
But that was alright
Better than not knowin'
What's on the other side
And you know I was always there for you
And you know I always believed in you
I guess that wasn't enough
On the boundary
On the boundary baby
On the boundary
Don't you need my love
You won't even let me
Keep from fallin'
From the boundary
That divides our love
I gave you a kingdom
That you could be Lord in
And we both know you loved
The taste of my world
But you ran back to your corner
Where you trip over your lines
Look left, look right
No room to hide
On the boundary
On the boundary baby
On the boundary
Don't you need my love
You won't even let me
Keep from fallin'
From the boundary
That divides our love
I guess that wasn't enough
I guess I wasn't enough
On the boundary
On the boundary baby
On the boundary
Don't you need my love
You won't even let me
Keep from fallin'
From the boundary
That divides our love

YOU GO TO MY HEAD
Sweet love hello
Make a slave of me
I should have more control
Little dove hello
You take full advantage
Of my open window
When the cold of the night
Has washed away
All I want is to wake in your arms
And I know that I shouldn't let you stay
But I'm a lush for your love
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go go my head
And you know I can never say no
To you and your friend
You call
Oh no (you know you want him)
Boy your heart swings in the wind
From rose to rose
Honeybee
Go home (please stay) to that warm nest
You left minutes ago
Yes I understand
You give your time
Can't you see
I've given my heart
All that light in your eyes
Is from the wine
I'm such a lush for your love
You go to my head
You go to my head
You go go my head
And you know I can never say no
To you and your friend

SKYEBOAT SONG
Maybe I'm a witch lost in time
Running through the fields of Scotland by your side.
Kicked out of France, but I still believe,
Taken to a land far across the sea.
Etienne, Etienne,
Hear the west wind whisper my name.
Etienne, Etienne
By the morning maybe we'll remember who I am.
Maybe you're the knight who saved my life,
Maybe we faced the fire side by side.
Here we are again under the same sky,
As the gypsy crystal slowly dies.
Etienne, Etienne,
Hear the west wind whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne,
By the morning maybe we'll remember who I am. Yeah
I close my eyes, see you again.
I know I've held you but I can't remember where or when. Oh
Etienne, Etienne,
Hear the west wind whisper my name.
Etienne, Etienne,
By the morning maybe we'll remember who I am .
Maybe I'm a witch, Etienne,
Whisper my name.
