How
do you do!
I see you comb your hair and gimme that grin. It’s making me spin now, spinnin’
within. Before I melt like snow, I say Hello – Hoy do you do! I love the way
you undress now, baby begin. Do you caress? Honey my heart’s in a mess. I love
your blue-eyed voice like Tiny Tim shines thru. How do you do! Well here we are,
crackin’ jokes in the corner of my mouth and I feel like I’m laughin’ in a
dream. If I was young I could wait outside your school ‘cause your face is
like a cover of a magazine. How do you do, do you do, the things that you do. No
one I know could ever keep up with you. How do you do! Did it ever make sense to
you to say Bye Bye Bye? I see you in that chair with perfect skin. Well, how
have you been, baby, livin’ in sin? Hey, I gotta know, did you say Hello –
How do you do?well, here we are in the louder part of town and it feels like
everything’s surreal. When I get old I will wait outside your house ‘cause
your hands have got the power of meant to heal. How do you do, do you do, the
things that you do. No one I know could ever keep up with you. How do you do!
Did it ever make sense to you to say Bye Bye Bye?
Fingertips
You’re sliding down a dream, o
yea. Where nights are born in blue, that’s the truth. You’re swimming in a
stream, o yea. Fish are jumping too, next to you. Suddenly you notice someone’s
at the door, you could swear you’ve been through this all before. Then she
runs her fingertips through your hair. Your life has just begun. Her fingers,
they are everywhere. You’re floating light like air, leaving the ground and
she shines on just like a sun. You’re gazing at the sky, o my. The stars are
out tonight, shining bright. You’re waving to a cloud, bye-bye. You drowning
in the smile of his eyes. Suddenly you feel there’s no time for a deal though
a voice tells you it’s for real. And she runs her fingertips through your hair.
Your life has just begun. Her fingers, they are everywhere. You’re floating
light like air, leaving the ground and she shines on just like a sun. It’s
just a sunny afternoon. Somebody’s singing songs of love, child. You love a
lazy afternoon once in a while.
The
look
1-2-3-4 Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer, she's a juvenile scam. Never
was a quitter. Tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look. Heavenly bound cause
heaven’s got a number when she's spinning me around, kissing is a colour. Her
loving is a wild dog, she's got the look. She's got the look. She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown- eyed girl turn blue. When everything I'll
ever do I'll do for you. And I go la la la la la - she's got the look. Fire in
the ice naked to the t-bone is a lover's disguise. Banging on head drum, shaking
like a mad bull, she's go the look. Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer she’s a miracle man. Loving is the ocean, kissing
is the wet sand, she’s got the look. She's got the look. She's got the look.
What in the world can make a brown- eyed girl turn blue. When everything I'll
ever do I'll do for you. And I go la la la la la - she's got the look.
The
heart shaped sea
Babe it’s tome to tell me that it’s over, tell me that it’s over, it’s
plain to see. And this time we won’t be starting over, no craing on your
shoulder into the heart shaped sea. Oh you’ve been a-running from our door and
you’ve been enchanted by the gracious voice of love. Babe it’s time to look
me in the eyes, time to say goodbye, it’s clear to me. Ant this time I won’t
let you down, you can turn around, I’ll set you free. Oh you’ve been a-sailing
from our shore and you’ve been enchanted by someone from afar. Babe it’s
time to gather all the harvest, to pray before the winter and sail the heart
shaped sea. Oh you’ve been a.running from my love and you’ve been enchanted
by the powers up above
The
rain
I was raised the northern way and my father had a norther name, I did my crying
out in the pouring rain. And a season turned into another one, I found the heart
bright like morning sun. he touched my lipf, so softly, eith his fingertips. But
I kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time. I kept the rain
falling down on me all the time, all the time. And some things in life won’t
ever change, there’s a smell of a rusty chain and of love disappearing like an
aeroplane. I’ve kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time.
I’ve kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time.
Keep
me waiting
I hit the coast with a faith of a preacherman. I saw
a ghost with a face like a madman. I had this dream I was sleeping at the Roayal
Ball. I hit the streets, hey watch me in the monitor! I saw a clone who looked
just like a senator. I check the clock, I felt that it was time to go go go…
Then came you. Why did you keep me waiting so long. Why did you keep me waiting
so long. Why did you keep me waiting so long. I was a spy, I was captured by the
enemies. I made a million selling secret fantasies. I saw my love wasted in a
pale grey zone. I was the quake shaking every monument. I had to fi-find out
what all the money meant. I checked the sun I knew that it was time to go go go…
Then came you. Why did you keep me waiting so long. Why did you keep me waiting
so long. Why did you keep me waiting so long.
It
must have been love
Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the
ground. I wake up lonely, there’s air of silence in the bedroom and all around.touch
me now, I close my eyes and dream away. It must have been love but it’s over
now. It must have been good, but I lost it somehow. It must have been love but
it’s over now. From the moment we touched ‘till the time had run out. Make-believing
we’re together, that I’m sheltered by your heart. But in and outside I’ve
turned to water like a teardrop in your palm. And it’s a hard winter’s day,
I dream away. It must have been love but it’s over now. It must have been good,
but I lost it somehow. It must have been love but it’s over now, it’s where
the water flows, it¨s where the wind blows.
Cinnamon
Street
Growing up on Cinnamon Street. Everywhere you look
there are lots of peaople to meet. It’s seven o’clock, the breakfast treat,
now the schoolbus is here, hurry up and grab a seat. All the dreams are tiny
ones, another week has just begun on Cinnamon Street. There was a girl, on
Cinnamon Street, the same age as me we shared the curiosity. I won her heart cos
I could play guitar. She promised me heaven at once and later all the stars. But
it all remained the same cos things can never change on Cinnamon street. I can
hear my heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was a lazy rest in the
sun. Later we went dancing, staying up all night long – playing all our
favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na. I say goodbye to Cinnamon
Street. Springtime is here and the air is so dry and sweet. I walk in a cloud,
the smell of Cinnamon breatd, it’s in my blood since the day I was born ‘til
I wake up dead. And the sun is smiling gently, a funny shade of red, Cinnamon
Street. I still feel my heartbeat the very first time we made love, life was a
lazy day in the sun. Later we went dancing, hanging out all night long –
singing all our favourite songs, Cinnamon songs: Oh oh na na na na na.
Never
is a long time
You build it up and tear it down, there’s no
reason to follow you. You left the song without a sound, you left the story I
made for you. Softly angels bow and cry in the stillness of the night. Never is
a long time – goodbye. No answers for the asking. It’s a long time –
goodbye. No mercy for the arching. It’s a long time – oh I see no light on
the forsaken. Never is a long time – goodbye. Let’s spend the night when
this dream has come to an end. Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry, and yes,
I’ve cried over you. You’ve left me blind in paradise. You’ve left me
hungering for the touch of you. Snow white angels run and hide in the blackness
of the night. Never is a long time – goodbye. No answers for the asking. It’s
a long time – goodbye. No mercy for the arching. It’s a long time – oh I
see no light on the forsaken. Never is a long time – goodbye. Let’s spend
the night when this dream has come to an end.
Silver
blue
I got to get a message through, I don’t know where we’re going. I wrap my
arms around your naked shoulders, take cover for the night. I see you in the
morning rain, oh step inside and lay deside me. Tender can you close my eyes and
blind me, oh give me just a smile… Before I fade to silver, Silver Blue for
you. Before I fade to silver, Silver Blue for you. I’ve turned into The Broken
One, who lost the inspiration. I want to give you all my love like water to a
blood red rose. The Passion – I can’t deal with her. The Pain – well, I
can live without him. And this is like the milky way, the ocean that only grows
and grows. And babe I fade to silver, Silver Blue for you. I turn and fade to
silver, Silver Blue for you. I wrap my arms around your naked shoulders, take
cover for the night.
Here
comes the weekend
Every shape of every word you say
that breaks the silence of an ordinary day. Every look that seems to mystify,
every single smile that spins me to the sky. It makes me wanna run, it makes me
wanna hide. Cos you’re the only one that makes me come alive. It’s getting
closer now and darker by the hour. It only goes to show that here it comes, here
comes the weekend and I’m on my own again with a Saturday in the rain. Here it
comes, here comes the weekend. The fine line from pleasure to pain is making me
cry. When will I see you again? Every breath, every vision you make. Every
chance in love you love to take. Every move that seems to alter my world. Every
dream I’ve had about this boy and this girl. It makes me wanna run, it makes
me wanna hide. Cos you’re the only one that makes me come alive and time is
running fast into a new goodbye. It only goes to show that here it comes, here
comes the weekend another walk down that lonely lane, another Sunday that feels
the same. Here it comes, here comes the weekend. The fine line from pleasure to
pain is making me cry. When will I see you again?
So
far away
In the coldest time of year, darkness all around my heart. I was alone but I
didn’t fear to wander in thel ight of stars. In the bright and silent night,
winds would knock and disappear. Still I felt the feeling near, like the first
time you were ever here. You’re so far away, so far away, you left me, you
told me you would stay. You never said goodbye and I’ll keep askin why, I keep
on asking how, oh come unto me now. I have breathed the morning air, I have
hears the four winds blow. I was weary but prepared to follow down this lonely
road. In the room where lovers sleep, winds would knock and disappeaer. Still I
felt the music near, like the first time we were ever here. You’re so far away,
so far away, you left me, you told me you would stay. You never said goodbye and
I’ll keep askin why, I keep on asking how, oh come inside me now.
Come
back (before you leave)
Never looked back on a love
affair. I never spent minutes on history, it made me sad, it made me so sad. Ind
in no time no time at all a change has begun and the name is You, I feel strange,
you made my life strange. Cos baby when you get close tome I say there’s a
certain chemistry. Come back before you leave, I haven’t got room for a broken
heart. Come back before you leave. You shouldn’t go at all, you shouldn’t go
at all. So many years and so many nights, I still can recall oh the way that you
move when you dance, do you want to dance? We’ve had our habits and attitudes,
you make remember the power when everything’s right. Please stay the night.
Cos baby when you get close to me there’s something about you I really need.
Come back before you leave, I haven’t got room for a broken heart. Come back
before you leave. You shouldn’t go at all, you shouldn’t go at all. Baby
come back before you leave, I’ll be the air for you when you breathe, I’ll
be the rising sun. close the door, let’s mako love, all God’s angels sing
above into the rising sun.
Things
will never be the same
Lay it down, pull my heart to the
ground, time’s getting cold now the leaves all turn hard and blue. And I know
when I gaze to the sun, no place to hide, I got nowhere to run from you, away
from you. Hold me now girl, I don’t know when, when we will ever meet again.
That was then, baby, this is now, I try to get over you. Losing you… Things
will never be the same. Can you hear me call your name? If we changed it back
again things would never be… in your hand. Babe I don’t understand, you’ve
got the eyes of a child but you hurt like a man always do. Oh it’s true. Touch
me now girl, I don’t know when, when we will ever meet again. That was then,
baby, this is now, time won’t get over you. Losing you… Things will never be
the same. Can you hear me call your name? If we changed it back again things
would never be the same.
Joyride
I hit the road out of nowhere, I
had to jump in my car and be a rider in a love game following the stars. Don’t
need no book of wisdom, I get no money talk at all. She’s got a train going
downtown, she’s got a club on the moon and she’s telling all her secrets in
a wonderful balloon. Oh she’s the heart of the funfair, she’s got me
whistling her private tune. And it all begins where it ends, and she’s all
mine my magic friend. She says: hello, you fool, I love you, c’mon join the
joyride, join the joyride. She’s the flower, I can’t paint her, she’s the
child of the sun, we’re a part of this together, could never turn around and
run. Don’t need no fortune teller to know where my lucky love belongs, oh no.
And it all begins where it ends, and she’s all mine my magic friend. She says:
hello, you fool, I love you, c’mon join the joyride, be a joyrider. I take on
a skyride, feeling like you’re spellbound, sunshine is a lady who rox you like
a baby.
Queen
of rain
