unknown

Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am home again
Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am whole again

Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am young again
Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am fun again

However far away, i will always love you
However long i stay, i will always love you
Whatever words i say, i will always love you,
I will always love you

Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am free again
Whenever i'm alone with you,
You make me feel like i am clean again

However far away, i will always love you
However long i stay, i will always love you
Whatever words i say, i will always love you,
I will always love you

It's a happy day
For the water bugs have melt away
Not a bird is sitting in its tree
Not a he, she, it or me
It's a happy day
Letter gate has sprung away
Taking all the floods to sea
Leaving uncle sam and he
He was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothing really left to lose

It's a happy day
For the world has come to stay
Not a creature sleeps today
The world will not go away

It's a happy day
Let us dream and sleep tonight
Of the world in its plight
'cause i need top top find
Yes, he was an air force man
Flyin' in all the news
She was his only queen
Nothin' really left to lose
She was his only girl
She called him pop crackle
He was her only pearl
Flying out of tanger sound

It's a happy day
We are here to gather to stay
Not a person will keep us away
Our life is the greatest today

It's a happy day
This could go on all night
Let us bed by bright moonlight,
And have a good, good, good night

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that i will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no i've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And i don't know if i can do it
Oh no i've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that i heard you laughing
I thought that i heard you sing
I think i thought i saw you try

Every whisper of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no i've said too much
I set it up

Consider this,
The hint of the century
Consider this,
The slip that brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come flailing around
Now i've said too much
I thought that i heard you laughing
I thought that i heard you sing
I think i thought i saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

If you don't
Treat me better
Baby i'11 just run away
Baby i don't
Know what drives you
To play these
Silly games
C'mon baby
I'm much stronger
Than you know
Sometimes
I'm not afraid
To let it show


Chorus:
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


Repeat chorus


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


Chorus:
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'11 just
Run away
If you don't
Tredt me
One day
You'll wake up cold
Then you'll know
You'll know
You'll know
You'll love me

i want to live
I want to give
I want to live
I want to give
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold
It’s these expressions i never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And i’m getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And i’m getting old
I’ve been to hollywood
I’ve been to redwood
I crossed an ocean for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
I’ve been to hollywood
I’ve been to redwood
I crossed an ocean for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And i’m getting old
I said i am getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold

And i’ma always be here for you no matter what happens
You’re all i got in this world
I would never give you up for nothin
Nobody in this world is ever gonna keep you from me
I love you
C’mon hai-hai, we goin to the beach
Grab a couple of toys and let da-da strap you in the car seat
Oh where’s mama? she’s takin a little nap in the trunk
Oh that smell da-da musta runned over a skunk
Now i know what you’re thinkin - it’s kind of late to go swimmin
But you know your mama, she’s one of those type of women
That do crazy things, and if she don’t get her way, she’ll throw a fit
Don’t play with da-da’s toy knife, honey, let go of it
And don’t look so upset, why you actin bashful?
Don’t you wanna help da-da build a sand castle?
And mama said she wants to show how far she can float
And don’t worry about that little boo-boo on her throat
It’s just a little scratch - it don’t hurt, her was eatin
Dinner while you were sweepin and spilled ketchup on her shirt
Mama’s messy isn’t she? we’ll let her wash off in the water
And me and you can pway by ourselves, can’t we?
Just the two of us..
Just the two of us..
Just the two of us..
See honey.. there’s a place called heaven and a place called hell
A place called prison and a place called jail
And da-da’s probably on his way to all of em except one
Cause mama’s got a new husband and a stepson
And you don’t want a brother do ya?
Maybe when you’re old enough to understand a little better
I’ll explain it to ya
But for now we’ll just say mama was real real bad
She was bein mean to dad and made him real real mad
But i still feel sad that i put her on time-out
Sit back in your chair honey, quit tryin to climb out
I told you it’s okay hai-hai, wanna ba-ba?
Take a night-night? nan-a-boo, goo-goo ga-ga?
Her make goo-goo ca-ca? da-da change your dia-dee
Clean the baby up so her can take a nighty-nighty
Your dad’ll wake her up as soon as we get to the water
Ninety-seven bonnie and clyde, me and my daughter
Me and my daughter
Me and my daughter
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Just the two of us
Wake up sweepy head we’re here, before we pway
We’re gonna take mama for a wittle walk along the pier
Baby, don’t cry honey, don’t get the wrong idea
Mama’s too sweepy to hear you screamin in her ear
That’s why you can’t get her to wake, but don’t worry
Da-da made a nice bed for mommy at the bottom of the lake
Here, you wanna help da-da tie a rope around this rock?
We’ll tie it to her footsie then we’ll roll her off the dock
Ready now, here we go, on the count of free..
One.. two.. free.. wheeeeee!
There goes mama, spwashin in the water
No more fightin wit dad, no more restraining order

No more step-da-da, no more brother
Blow her kisses bye-bye, tell mama you love her (mommy!)
Now we’ll go play in the sand, build a castle and junk
But first, just help dad with two more things out the trunk
Just the two of us

Toodles mr. jim
You cherry picker
Toodles i say, so long
Hear that your grave's a little warm you stickler
Sing 'em all your happy song
It's today, today someday
By your grave

I say toodles mr. jim
You cherry picker
Taught me so well
How to spell those red in
And
And
Hey
You know she deserved that nose
Splattered and swattered blood in my hands
Not a nice day for your little girl
But you came to my aid instead
But, now it's toodles mr. jim
You cherry picker
Build that ladder well
Teach me just where those boys can climb
When they've got a spell

Toodles mr. jim
You are my sweet favourite neighbor of them all
Let them girls go to their parties
I don't care cause i'm with you, still

"that was toodles mr. jim
Mr. jim died, two weeks ago
And he taught me how to pick cherries
And i punched his daughter in the nose
Because she was mean
Mr. jim was good"

Master shaman, i have come with my dolly from the shadow side
With a demon and an englishman. i'm my mother, i'm my son
Nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
Nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade

But all the angels and all the wizards, black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And i can even see sweet marianne

Sister janet, you have come from the woman clothed with the sun
Your veil is quietly becoming none. call the wanderer, he has gone
All those up there are making it look so easy
With your perfect wings
A wing can cover all sorts of things

Hey, yes this again, well i think i could try this once again

But all the angels and all the wizards, black and white
Are lighting candles in our hands
Can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
And i can even see sweet marianne

And you know you're gonna
Lie to you
In your own way

Know know too well
Know the chill
Know she breaks
My siren

Never was one
For a prissy girl
Coquette
Call in for
An ambulance
Reach high
Doesn't
Mean she's
Holy
Just means
She's got a cellular handy
Almost
Brave
Almost
Pregnant
Almost in love "vanilla"

And you know you're
Gonna lie to you
In your own way

i’m not in love, so don’t forget it
It’s just a silly phase i’m going through
And just because i call you up,
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made
I’m not in love, no no, it’s because...
I like to see you, but then again,
That doesn’t mean you mean that much to me
So if i call you, don’t make a fuzz
Don’t tell your friends about the two of us
I’m not in love, no no, it’s because...
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain still lying there
It hides a nasty stain still lying there
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain still lying there
It hides a nasty stain still lying there
So don’t you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn’t mean that much to me
I’m not in love, no no, it’s because...
Ooh, you’ll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you’ll wait a long time
Ooh, you’ll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you’ll wait a long time
I’m not in love, it's just a silly phase i'm goin through
And just because i call you up,
Don’t get me wrong, don’t think you’ve got it made
I’m not in love
I’m not in love

Daisy dead petals that is her name.
She's in the phone booth phase, so
Underneath the shade of a peppermint tray,
She can turn it out with a heel on she just rides into town
Knowing what they'll say, knowing they're around the corner.
Got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.

Daisy dead petals, that is her name.
So maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid, well,
These dead petals, honey, brought me here.
She said "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."

Dancing on a dime, hearing mother cry,
Maybe she's around the corner

Got a crack in, got a crack in some strange places.
On my back with, on my back with some dirty dishes

Falling down, falling down, all over the river
Falling down, falling down, falling down

And since we're down might as well stay,
Might as well fry some eggs
And wave to the shade of the peppermint tray.
She's a new friend not a skeleton to ride into town.
Knowing what they'll say, knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid, but

"these dead petals, honey, brought me here."
She said "these dead petals, honey, brought me here."

the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody’s gonna go to school today
She’s gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn’t understand it
He always said she was good as gold

And he can see no reason
'cause there are no reason
What reason do you need to be shown

Tell me why
I don’t like mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like mondays
I don’t like
I don’t like
I don’t like mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
Down, down, shoot it all down

All the playing’s stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys awhile
And school’s out early and soon we’ll be learning
That the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see no reason
Cos there are no reason
What reason do you need to die

Tell me why
I don’t like mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like mondays
I don’t like
I don’t like
I don’t like mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like mondays
I don’t like
I don’t like
I don’t like mondays
I don’t like mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
Whole day
Whole day
Whole day
Down

Hey kid, i've got a ride for you.
They say, your brain is a comic book tatoo
And you'll never be anything.
What will you do with your life, oh,
That's all you hear from noon till night.

Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby, where the sea is the sky.
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out of sight.
Flying dutchman are you out there?
Flying dutchman are you out there, flying dutchman?

Straight suits, they don't understand.
She tried that one with the alligator boots but the other side drew her in.
Heart falling fast when she left, even the milky way was dressed in black.

Take a trip on a rocket ship, baby, where the sea is the sky.
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out of sight.
Flying dutchman are you out there?
Flying dutchman are you out there, flying dutchman?

'cause they can't see what you're born to be.
They can see me.
They can't be
What they can't believe.
They can see what you see.

They keep the boys spinning in their own little world.
Tie him up so he won't say a word.
They keep the boys spinning in their own little world.
So afraid he'll be what they never where.

Cheese and onion sandwiches on derby chinaware
Fiddles and jigs and woogie my dog and tv havin' a swear
Takin' my dad for a pint or two, a sunday morning stroll
Licorice pipes and baggy suits, glen hoddle scorin' a goal
Catchin' a pike and ridin' my bike on wooden wheels and a bowl of eels
Yes... that's what i like, boy
That's what i like

Pie and mash and liquor, walking about in the rain
William brookes and comical looks, pianos, trams and trains
Colds and cockles and thunderstorms, place on the wireless and now
Grandfather clocks and coke and brandy, fountain pens and beano and dandy
That's what i like, i said
Hey, that's what i like

Little pubs out in the country, mother pearl and bernard faire
The sound of a banjo, barbershop singing and having a kip in the chair
Burnt toast, a beer from the wood and old jerry thomas' teeth
Jerry and chuck and cannon and ball, a banjo pickin' bill keith
And old bank loads, wood burnin' stoves and shirley maclaine
And petticoat lane

That's what i like, i said
That's what i like, yes boy
Yes, that's just, ohh

Bubble and squeak and jumble sales, little richard and jerry lee
Bonfire night and south and that's paddlin' in the sea
Polished brass and copper, salvation army bands
Violins and old coach inns and colored elastic bands
Tea in the mornin' and winter beginnin' and fishin' lines
And frogs and spurs are winning
Yes that's what i like
Hey, that's what i like

A day at the races, cover the bases, goin' out hoppin in kent
A new pair of braces, little kids faces sleeping under the tent
And wagons, chickens and pickin' blackberries and swallows and sledges
And devon and derries
And haddock and trotters and horses and knickers and swatters and stickers
And banjo, and kippers
Yeah, that's what i like, boy
That's what i like

Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailin'
Can the people hear, oh
What the little fish are sayin'

Oh, oh, the people turned away
Oh, the people turned away

Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racin', racin'
No time left, no-no
To pass the time of day

Hey, hey, yeah, the people turned away
The people turned away
So far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run,
See how they run, see how they run
Run-run, run-run, run-run

Do you still do the twist
Do you find you remember things that well
I wanna tell you
Some folk twistin' every day
Though sometimes it's awful hard to tell
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, oh

Out in the country
Hear the people singin'
Singin' 'bout their progress
Knowin' where they're goin'
Yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
Yes, the people turned away

Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for lady nature
And she will come back again
Yes she will, yes she will

Oh, oh, oh, the people turned away
The people turned away

Don't they know that they're goin'

She needs to sleep like the ocean
She needs to dream like that boy down in the stratum
Don't know what he's all about but
I'm sure he knows one of the spots
I need to be in this body
I need to breathe
I need no one but one
And it's gonna be here like it never was
Like it never was
He's got girls on his fingers
Little dough eyes making ringers ring off the phone
Tell her you know what she's been thinking
'cause i need only one, only one sugar
I said you are gonna see
I'm ready to be just with the one
With the blue blue notions of motions

take your mind back
I don’t know when
Sometime when it always seemed
To be just us and them
Girls that wore pink
And boys that wore blue
Boys that always grew up better men
Than me and you
What’s a man now, what’s a man mean
Is he rough or is he rugged
Is he cultural and clean
Now it’s all change, it’s got to change more
We think it’s getting better
But nobody’s really sure
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are
See the nice boys, dancing in pairs
Golden earring, golden tan
Blow-wave in the hair
Sure they’re all straight, straight as a line
All the gays are macho
Can’t you see their leather shine
You don’t want to sound dumb, don’t want to offend
So don’t call me a faggot
Not unless you are a friend
Then if you’re tall, handsome, and strong
You can wear the uniform and i could play along
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are
Time to get scared, time to change plan
Don’t know how to treat a lady
Don’t know how to be a man
Time to admit what you call defeat
‘cause there’s women running past you now
And you just drag your feet
Man makes a gun, man goes to war
Man can kill and man can drink
And man can take a whore
Kill all the blacks, kill all the reds
And if there’s war between the sexes
Then there’ll be no people left
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are
And so it goes, go round again
But now and then we wonder who the real men are

Coughing from the smoke of a black roof chimney
Marching to the beat of a hot roof over me
Hey, ho, here we go, we're off to work again
Bells are ringing, we are singing
Joyous in our industry

I love my job
He loves his job
Pull that lever
Start the engine
Pump the water
Build the pressure
Push the piston
Press the button

Pump the water
Build the pressure
Push the piston
Press the button

It's the perfect job

Happy workers
Happy workers
Happy workers

When you said you'd marry me
I thought you meant you'd wanted too
Then i thought you'd like to
Maybe on a tuesday

All the dead are coming
I heard they'll be dressing
Something kind of maggoty
Rolling with a froppity

In the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
And not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken

The three men i admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died

They were singing "bye bye miss american pie"
I drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singing "this'll be the day that i die, this'll be the day that i die"

And the three men i admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died

The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and i want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what i'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

Oh oh come take my hand
Driving out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh thunder road, oh thunder road
Oh thunder road

Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me

You may consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the scylla and charibdes
Hypnotized by you if i should linger
Staring at the ring on your finger
I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they wouldn't teach me in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Mephistopheles is not your name
But i know what you're up to just the same
I will listen hard to your tuition
And you will see it come to its fruition

I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger
I'll be wrapped around your finger

Devil and the deep blue sea behind me
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
I will turn your face to alabaster
Then you will find your servant is your master

And you'll be wrapped around my finger

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


Chorus:
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


Chorus:
The big picture
Gotta big white cloud
The big picture
Is starin' at me
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'11 try again
I've got my paints
Repeat second chorus

"lie, lie, lies ev'rywhere," said the father to the son
Your peppermint breath, gonna choke 'em to death,
Daddy watch your little black sheep run
He's got a knives in his back ev'ry time he opens up
You say "he gotta be strong if he wanna be a man"
Mister, i don't know how you can have

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Land, land of liberty
We're run by a constipated man
When you live in the past
You refuse to see when your
Daughter comes home nine months pregnant
With five billion points of light
Gonna shine 'em on the face of your friends
They got the earth in a sling
They got the world on her knees
They even got your zipper between their teeth

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
You say, you say that you have 'em i say that you're a liar
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Go on, go on, go on dream
Your house is on fire
Come along now

Well, well summer wind been catching up with me
"elephant mind, missy you don't have
You're forgettin' to fly
Darlin when you sleep"
I got a hazy lazy susan

Takin' turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes runnin' through my body
Funny how they all have my face
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

So some say she got green enough field
And some say she got too many strings
With petticoats out and goin' hall gown

The sweetest nylon no not where she's gone
Gonna raise his tail and wrangle his wings

Some say she got plenty of stark
Some say she got some divas and kramer
Why all this spare then shaking her tail

The sweetest nylon no not where she's gone
Gonna raise his tail and wrangle his wings
Until the little chicken come home

i'll sing to the sun in the sky
I'll sing to the sun rises high
Carnival time is here
Magical time of year
And as the time draws near
Dreams fill my heart
I'll sing while he plays his guitar
I'll sing as the night wakes the dawn
Will love come my way
On this magical day
And will love stay in my heart

I'll sing while he plays his guitar
I'll sing in my dream from afar
Will love come my way
On this magical day
And will love stay in my heart

Will true love come my way
On this magical day
Or will i live alone in my dreams
Will true love come my way
On this magical day
Or will love only live on my dreams

Stay, stay in me, in my heart
You
I say it again
The way you walk and i know the way you can
The way you're telling me you're not a dangerous man
I said it again, i'll say again
I'm not that kind of woman
The way you're telling me
Whoa
What you can do
What you can do to me
What you can do...you

Have yourself a merry little christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little christmas
Make the yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And, have yourself a merry little christmas, now

trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death
I said
She said
Death will be their acquisition
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me
Fall into me the sky’s crimson tears
Abolish the rules
Abolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away
Raining blood
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now i shall reign in blood

one day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
She’d run to the town one day
Leaving home and the country fair
Just beware
When you’re there
Strange little girl
She didn’t know how to live in a town that was rough
It didn’t take long before she knew she had enough
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she’s feeling old
And she found all things cold
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
You really should
You really should be going
I know you wish you were
I know you wish you were
One day you see a strange little girl look at you
One day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
Walking home in her wrapped up world
She survived but she’s feeling old
Cuz she found all things cold
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl
Where are you going?
Strange little girl

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
Your limousine


You took my love
You took my money
You took my sex
Took my love
Took my money
Give me


Chorus:
Fayth
Help me keep
Myself 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


Repeat chorus


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
Repeat chorus

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby i could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey i know, i know, i know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you to
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain purple rain
Purple rain purple rain

If you know what i'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand

Purple rain purple rain

I only want to see you, only want to see you
In the purple rain

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


Chorus:
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's been out
A-messin'
With his argentine baby


Repeat chorus


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


Repeat chorus

Running down abbey road
Don't stop the ocean
I need to feel a tidal wave
So close
So close to a family way
To a family way
Don't stop bringing her around
See how tough i can be
When you're making me smile sweetly
Don't keep bringing her around
I need to see
See the changing of the leaves
Of the guard
Of your guitar
As it's leaving
Running down abbey road
No shoes
It's colder than bermuda
Colder than my days in the sugar cane
And johnny man, be as quick as you can
I said johnny man, we know you like haley mills
Like those boys are singing still
Catch me if you can
Oh, catch me if you can
Be my sugar cane
My
Running down abbey road
I know i thought we'd almost be
In the family way
I guess not today
I guess not today

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


Chorus:
On the boundary
On the boundary baby
On the boundary
Don't you need my love
You won't even let me
Keep you 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 can back
To your corner
Where you trip
Over your lines
Look left, look right
No room to hide


Repeat chorus


I guess that wasn't enough
I guess i wasn't enough


Repeat chorus

You need coolin', baby, i'm not foolin'
I'm gonna send you back to schoolin'
Way down inside honey, you need it
I'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you my love
Wanna whole lotta love (x4)

You've been learnin', baby, i been learnin'
All them good times, baby, baby, i've been yearnin'
Way, way down inside honey, you need it
I'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you my love

You've been coolin', baby, i've been droolin'
All the good times i've been misusin'
Way, way down inside, i'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you every inch of my love
Gonna give you my love

Way down inside, woman, you need, love

Shake for me, girl, i wanna be your backdoor man
Keep it coolin', baby

I took my love, i took it down
Climbed a mountain and i turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can i sail through the changing ocean tides
Can i handle the seasons of my life

Well, i've been afraid of changing
'cause i've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And i'm getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Will the landslide bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

Stinky soul, get a little lost in my own,
Hey general, need a little love in that hole of yours.
One ways, now, and saturdays and our kittens all wrapped in cement.
From cradle to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as i can and
Is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried

Daddy dear, if i can kill one man why not two?
Well, nurses smile when you got iron veins
You can't stain their pretty shoes and pom poms and cherry blondes
And their kittens still wrapped in cement.
From god's saviors to gumdrops
Got me running girl as fast as i can and
Is it right, butterfly, they like you better framed and dried.

Got a pretty, pretty garden, pretty garden, yes.
Got me a pretty, pretty garden, a pretty garden, yes.
Got me a pretty, pretty garden, a pretty garden

jodie wears a hat although it hasn’t rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like eve marie saint in on the waterfront
She reads simone de beauvoir in her american circumstance
She’s less than sure if her heart has come to stay in san jose
And her neverborn child still haunts her now
As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police
Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
She’s obvious despite herself
She looks like eve marie saint in on the waterfront
She says all she needs is therapy
All you need is love is all you need
Jodie never sleeps ‘cause there are always needles in the hay
She says that a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like eve marie saint in on the waterfront
As she reads simone de beauvoir in her american circumstance
Her heart, heart’s like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front
She says ooh, it’s so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment

Count those rattlesnakes
She says a girl needs a gun these days
On account of all the rattlesnakes
Hey on account of all the rattlesnakes

Don't know where
But i'm sure we'll soon find out
Where we're going i said
Don't know, reruns of caddyshack
Omla bomla, bi de li day
Don't know where the dhali lama is today
Don't know where my heart is roaming to
Before you turn around
Before you turn around
I think i know a little boy
With each day now
I'm tasting the snow beneath my soul
Beneath the souls of my souls
With each day now
You're in me now
Said, omla bomleigh
Said love that bus ride wherever it's taking me
And johnny and mister p hold my hand
Just hold my hand
Omla bomleigh

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now i sure is found
Was blind but now i see
'twas grace mother that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did ever your grace appear
The hour i first believed
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as his sun
I know that grace sweet grace has appeared
And now she'll bring me home

God i love to turn my little blue world upside down
God i love to turn my little blue world upside down
Inside my head the noise, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
You see i'm afraid
I'll always be still coming out of my mother upside down

Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
Oh i know you love to turn this little blue girl baby upside down
But my heart it says
You been shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter, shattered
And i know you're still a boy
Still coming out of your mother

But when you gonna stand on your own ?
I say the world is sick
You say "tell me what that makes us darlin'"
You see, you always find my faults
Faster than you find your own
You say the world is getting rid of her demons
I say "baby what have you been smoking ?"

Well i dreamed, i dreamed, i dreamed i loved a black boy
My daddy would scream
Oh yeah

Don't you love to turn this little blue girl upside down
Any kind of touch i think is better than none even upside down
But you see i'm tangled up
Got a kitten, kitten, kitten, kitten in my hair
Cincinnati, i like the word
It's the only thing we can seem to turn upside down

Well i found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay
I said i found the secret to life
I found the secret to life
I'm okay when everything is not okay
Is not okay

Oh, we turn and we turn our little blue world upside down
I said, don't we love to turn our little blue world baby upside down ?
Inside my head a voice chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter, chatter
And it says girl you're all the same,still coming out of your mothers
Still coming out of your mothers, upside down

In my head i found you there
And running around and following me
But you don't, oh, dare, now.
But i find that i have, now, more
Than i ever wanted too

So maybe thomas jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to when she has left
You there, you, all here in my head and
Running around and calling me come back
I'll show you the roses and brush off the snow and
Open their petals again and again and you know that
Apple green ice cream can melt in your hands i can't so...

I, i held your hand at the fair and
Even forgot what time it was
And even thomas jefferson wasn't born
In your backyard like you have said and
Maybe i'm just the horizon you run to
When she has left you and me here alone on the floor,
You're counting my feathers as the bells toll
You see the bow and the belt and the girl from the south all
Fav'rites of mine you know them all well
And spring brings fresh little puddles that makes it all clear makes it all...
Do you know, hey, do you know, what this is doing to me?
Here in my head

You went away
Why did you
Leave me
You know
I beleived 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


Chorus:
Every 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 that 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


Repeat chorus


Is it weak
To look out for
Saviors out in space
Little earth
She tries so hard
To change our ways
Sometimes she
Must get sick
Of this place


Repeat chorus
