June
afternoon
Didn’t I tell everything is possible in this déja vu? Try the river boat, the
carousel, feed the pigeons, Bar-B-Q. look at all the people, happy faces all
around. Smiling, throwing kisses, busy making lazy sound. It’s a bright june
afternoon, it never gets dark. Wah-wah! Here comes the sun. Some folks are on
blankets, slowly daydreaming and reaching for their food. Let’s go buy an
ice-cream and a magazine with an attitude and put on a cassette, we can pretend
that you’re a star cos life’s so very simple just like la-la-la. It’s a
bright june afternoon, it never gets dark. Wah-wah! Here comes the sun.
There’s a painter painting his masterpiece. There are some squirrels jumping
in the trees. There’s a wide-eyed boy with a ted balloon. All my life I’ve
longed for this afternoon.
You
don’t understand me
I’ve been up all night,
you’ve been putting up a fight. Seems like nothing I say gets through. How did
this old bed fit a world between me and you. We said
„Goodnight” but the silence was so thick you could dut it with a
knife. We’ve hit the wall again and there’s nothing I can do. You’re the
one, yea, I’ve put all my trust in your hands. C’mon and look in my eyes,
here I am, here I am. You don’t understand me, my baby. You don’t seem to
know that I need you so much. You don’t understand me, my feelings, the reason
I’m breathin’, my love. The morning comes and you’re reaching out for me
just like everything’s the same and I let myself believe things are gonna
change. When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close, do you wonder who’s
inside? Maybe there’s no way we could feel each other’s pain. Tell my why it
gets harder to know where I stand. I guess loneliness found a new friend, here I
am. You don’t understand me, my baby. You don’t seem to know that I need you
so much. You don’t understand me, my feelings, the reason I’m breathin’,
my love. You don’t seem to get me, my baby. You don’t really see that I live
for your touch. You don’t understand me, my dreams or the things I believe in,
my love. You don’t understand me. You don’t understand me. Understand me.
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.
Dressed
for success
Tried to make it little by little,
tried to make it bit by bit on my own. Quit the job, the grey believers, another
town, where I get close to the bone. Watcha gonna tell your brother – oh oh oh
watcha gonna tell your father – I don’t know watcha gonna tell your mother
– let me go… I’m gonna get dressed for success shaping me up for the big
time, baby. Get dressed for success shaping it up for your love yea yea yea.
I’m not afraid, a trembling flower, I’ll feed your heart and blow the dust
from your eyes and in the dark things happen faster. I love the way you sway
your hips next to mine. Watcha gonna tell your brother – oh oh oh watcha gonna
tell your father – I don’t know watcha gonna tell your mother – let me go…
I’m gonna get dressed for success, hitting the spot for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success shaping it up for your love. Look sharp.
Listen
to your heart
I know
there’s domething in the wake of your smile. I get a notion from the look in
your eyes, yea. You’ve built a love but that love falls apart. Your little
pieco of heaven turns too dark. Listen to your heart when he’s calling for you.
Listen to your heart there’s nothing else you can do. I don’t know where you’re
going and I don’t know why but listen to your heart before you tell him
goodbye. Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile. The precious moments
are all lost in the tide, yea. They’re swept away and nothing is what it seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams. Listen to your heart when he’s
calling for you. Listen to your heart there’s nothing else you can do. I
don’t know where you’re going and I don’t know why but listen to your
heart before you tell him goodbye. And there are voices, that want to be heard.
So much to mention but you can’t find the words. The scent of magic, the
beauty that’s been when love was wilder than the wind. Listen to your heart
when he’s calling for you. Listen to your heart there’s nothing else you can
do. I don’t know where you’re going and I don’t know why but listen to
your heart before you tell him goodbye.
Dangerous
You pack your bag, you take
control. You’re moving into my heart and into my soul. Get out of my way! Get
out of my sight! I won’t be walking on thin ice to get through the night. Hey,
what’s your work? What’s your game? I know your business but I don’t know
your name… Hold on tight, you know she’s a little bit dangerous. She’s got
what it takes to make ends meet the eyes of a lover that hit like heat. You know
she’s a little bit dangerous. You turn around, so hot and dry. You’re hiding
under a halo, your mouth is alive. Get out of my way! Get out of my sight! I’m
not attracted to go-go deeper tonight. Hey, what’s your work? What’s your
game? I know your business but I don’t know your name… Hold on tight, you
know she’s a little bit dangerous. She’s got what it takes to make ends meet
the eyes of a lover that hit like heat. You know she’s a little bit dangerous.
She’s armed and extremely dangerous.
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.
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.
Fading
like a flower (every time you leave)
In a time, when the sun descends
alone, I ran a long long way from home to find a heart that’s made of stone. I
will try, I just need a little time to get your face right out of my mind, to
see the world through different eyes. Everytime I see you oh I try to hide away,
but when we meet it seems I can’t let go. Everytime you leave the room I feel
I’m fading like a flower. Tell me why. When I scream there’s no reply. When
I reach out there’s nothing to find. When I sleep I break down and cry.
Everytime I see you oh I try to hide away, but when we meet it seems I can’t
let go. Everytime you leave the room I feel I’m fading like a flower. Fading
like a rose, fading like a rose, beaten by the storm, talking to myself, getting
washed by the rain in such a cold cold town.
The
big L.
She’s the top she’s got the
world on a string. She makes me boogie makes me do anything, yea yea. Hey now,
touch the sky, you’ve got a certain kind of look in your eyes. Well, she’s a
miracle she’s all that I need. Like the water and the air that I breathe, yea
yea. Hey now, reach the sky, there’s a certain kind of look in your smile. And
I know what love can do. Yes I know what hearts can do. The big love is taking
the wheel, the big love goes head over heels, the big lust bring it into the
small world, the bigger the better big love waiting to catch the big one head
over heels the big one, bring it into the small world I’m building the big big
love. It’s kinda strange a bit mysterious. I gotta take it oh so so serious.
Hey now, touch the sky, you’ve got a certain kind of look in your eyes. It
used to be so hard so lonely at night. Well, she’s my baby and I’m feeling
alright. Hey now, move the sky, there’s a certain kind of look in your smile.
When I’m making love with her. When I’m making love to her yea. The big love
is taking the wheel, the big love goes head over heels, the big lust bring it
into the small world, the bigger the better big love waiting to catch the big
one head over heels the big one, bring it into the small world I’m building
the big big love. It has to be a big thing. It’s bringin’ me to my knees.
Has to be a big thing. Big thing. You what I’m saying. The big love is taking
the wheel, the big love goes head over heels, the big lust bring it into the
small world, the bigger the better big love waiting to catch the big one head
over heels the big one, bring it into the small world I’m building the big big
love.
Spending
my time
What’s the time? Seems it’s
already morning. I see the sky, it’s so beautiful and blue. The TV’s on but
the only thing showing is a picture of you. Oh I get up, and myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit, but the story’s too thin. I thank the lord above, that
you’re not here to see me in this shape I’m in. Spending my time, watching
the days go by, feeling so small, I stare at the wall, hoping that you think of
me too, I’m spending my time. I try to call, but I don’t know what to tell
you. I leave a kiss on your answering machine. Oh help me please, is there
someone who can make me wake up from this dream. Spending my time, watching the
days go by, feeling so small, I stare at the wall, hoping that you think are
missing too, I’m spending my time, watching the sun go down. I fall asleep to
the sound of „tears of a clown”, a prayer gone blind. I’m spending my time.
My friends keep telling me: hey life will go on. Time will make sure I’ll get
over you. This silly game of love - you play you win only to lose.
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?
Almost
unreal
Babe, come in from the cold, and
put that coat to rest. Step inside, take a deep breath, and do what you do best.
Yea, kick off them shoes, and leave those city streets. I do believe, love came
our way and fate did arrange for us to meet. I love when you do that hocus pocus
to me. The way that you touch, you’ve got the power to heal. You give me that
look, it’s almost unreal, it’s almost unreal. Hey, we can’t stop the rain,
let’s find a place by the fire. Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems you’ve
been in my dreams all my life. I love when you do that hocus pocus to me. The
way that you touch, you’ve got the power to heal. You give me that look,
it’s almost unreal, it’s almost unreal. It’s a crazy world out there.
Let’s hope our prayers are in goodhands tonight.
Sleeping
in my car
I’ll tell you what I’ve done, I’ll tell you what I’ll do. Been driving
all night to just to get close to you. Baby babe – I’m moving so fast.
You’d better come on. The moon is alright, the freeway’s heading south. My
heart is going boom. There’s a strange taste in my mouth. Baby babe – I’m
moving real fast. So try to hold. Try to hold on! Sleeping in my car – I will
undress you. Sleeping in my car – I will caress you. Staing in the back seat
of my car making up. So come on tonight, I’ll take you for a ride. This steamy
ol’ wagon. The radio is getting wild. Baby babe – we’re moving so fast. I
try to hang on. Try to hang on! Sleeping in my car – I will undress you.
Sleeping in my car – I will caress you. Staing in the back seat of my car
making love, oh yea. Sleeping in my car – I will possess you. Sleeping in my
car – certainly bless you. Laying in the back seat of my car making up. The
night is so pretty and so young. The night is so pretty and so young. So very
young… Sleeping in my car – I will undress you. Sleeping in my car – I
will caress you. Staing in the back seat of my car making love to you. Sleeping
in my car – I will possess you. Sleeping in my car – certainly bless you.
Laying in the back seat of my car making up. I will undress you. I will undress
you. The night is so pretty and so young.
Crash!
Boom! Bang!
My Papa told me to stay out of
trouble. „When you’ve found your man, make sure he’s for real!” I’ve
learned that nothing really lasts forever. I sleep with the scars i wear that
won’t heal. They won’t heal. Cos every time I seem to fall in love –
Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart but then I hit the wall - Crash! Boom!
Bang! That’s the call, that’s the game and the pain
stays the same. I’m walking down this empty road to nowhere. I pass by the
houses and blocks I once knew. My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow. But I
always did, and Lord, I still do. I’m still breaking the rules. I kick it
up. I kick it down. Cos every time I seem to fall in love – Crash! Boom!
Bang! I find the heart but then I hit the wall - Crash! Boom!
Bang! That’s my real middle-name. It has always been the
same. That’s the call, that’s the game and the pain stays the same. I still
feel the heat… slowly falling from the sky …and the taste if the
kissing. Shattered by rain… comin’ tumblin’ from behind ..and the
wild holy war. I kick it up. I kick it down. Cos every time I seem to
fall in love – Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the roses dying on the floor - Crash!
Boom! Bang! That’s the call,
that’s the game and the pain stays the same. That’s my real middle-name. It
has always been the same. Oh yea oh yea oh yea uh-huh. Been the same, been the
same. It has always been the same.
Vulnerable
Everywhere I look I see her
smile, her absent-minded eyes. And she has kept me wondering for so long. How
this thing could go wrong? It seems to me that we are both the same, playing the
same game. But as darkness falls this true love falls apart into a riddle of her
heart. She’s so vulnerable, like china in my hands. She’s so vulnerable and
I don’t understand. I could never hurt the one I love. She’s all I’ve got.
But she’s so vulnerable, oh so vulnerable. Days like these, no one should be
alone, no heart should hide away. Her touch is gently conquering my mind.
There’s nothing words can say. She’s coloured all the secrets of my soul.
I’ve whispered all my dreams. But just as nighttime falls this vision falls
apart into a riddle of her heart. She’s so vulnerable, like china in my hands.
She’s so vulnerable and I don’t understand. I could never hurt someone I
love. She’s all I’ve got. But she’s so vulnerable, oh so vulnerable.
Don’t hide your eyes…
She
doesn’t live here anymore
We grew up together, we’ve been here forever. Barefoot in the summer, cold in
stormy weather. She taught me all there is, like magic and love, lots of
forgotten words. But now, she doesn’t live here anymore. She’s off and
she’s gone, she doesn’t live here anymore. I’m sorry that’s all there is
to it, I’m sorry that’s all. She dressed just like a painter, a female
street Picasso and I, I will remember the heaven in her laughter. And the scent
oh her sweet parfume when we made love under an August moon. But now, she
doesn’t live here anymore. She’s off and she’s gone, she doesn’t live
here anymore. She’s gone since king, so long, she doesn’t live here anymore.
She took off and left home, she doesn’t live here anymore. I’m sorry
that’s all there is to it, I’m sorry that’s all. That’s all.
I
don’t want to get hurt
In everything I see you appear
with me, how come? How come? And everything I do involves you too. We are like
one. In my life there has been so many changes and I don’t want to be left out
in the rain. I don’t want to get hurt, I’ve done my time. All I want from
you is to tell the truth. I don’t want to get hurt no more this time. I
don’t want to go blind and find it’s falling apart all the time. In the
middle of a dream you are there for me, your face, your lips. But there’s no
way you can tell cos I hide it really well, so well. In my life there has been
loving and lying and I don’t need another reason to cry. I don’t want to get
hurt, I’ve done my time. All I want from you is to tell the truth. I don’t
want to get hurt no more this time. I don’t want to go blind and find I’m
falling apart one more time.
