Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Hold that tiger
Where's that tiger?
Where's that tiger?
Where's that tiger?
Where's that tiger?
Where's that tiger?
Where's that tiger?
Where's that tiger?

2. _ Out Of Style
Well, i wear this leather jacket just to try and beat the cold
Well, i know it's not the thing but then it's all of two years old
Though i never was a punk - i'm sure you'll understand
But a sixty-five pound leather, you just cannot throw away
So i'll wear it just from a to b but not on saturdays
At the meeting of the cult - i'll be a different man
Out of style
That's what i hear them saying - inside my head
Oh yes, it looks real cool but is it out of style this week?
All the world's so full of problems i just don't know what to do
Should my jacket have three buttons? - am i out of style with two?
Is my hair too long? - 'cause i think i feel a change
I guess i should be ready for it, i look younger than my age
And i think there's something stirring in the corner of the page
Of the nme - and i let them lead the way
Out of style
That's what i hear them saying - inside my head
Oh yes, it looks real cool but is it out of style this week?
Out of style
That's what i hear them saying - inside my head
Oh yes, it looks real cool but is it out of style this week?

3. _ Tilt
Sunday evening down the penny arcade
I see your face in the pinball game
Put in a quarter and it starts to fade
Tell myself it won't appear again
But this is just another game i've played so badly
Right from the start
And through the bells and buzzers you're still singing sadly
It tears me apart
The higher you fly
The farther you gotta fall
Tilt - you're pushing too hard
Try just another ball
Tilt - so why's it so hard
Keeping it under control
Take it easy take your time, you said
Take me home i'll see you soon enough
You say i'm pushing but it's in your head
I feel so helpless, you say i'm so tough
And now we fight it out until i just can't hear you
I can't understand
When all i want is just permission to be near you
Holding your hand
But nobody said
The lights would keep flashing red
Tilt - you're pushing too hard
Try just another ball
Tilt - so why's it so hard
Keeping it under control

4. _ Blue Flame
I've got some walls around me, too
But they're not much compared to your house
Fifty feet high, with barbed wire
Guards on the top, aiming rifles at your lovers one by one
And friends, too
I've come with hands above my head
I'm damned if i'll try to break your door down
If you ever come out just call me
I'll still be armed with the memory of one evening when you smiled
At something
Sadness spreads like a black stain
But i know by now that's not all there is
There's a blue flame inside of you so beautiful and rare
And love's not something you decide to do
You'd be so hard to love if love was not just there
You tell me women get you down
And as for men, they're all bastards
I wonder what world you call home
And i wish i could learn their language just enough to make you laugh
Just one time
Yes, it was nice to see you, too
Although i'm never sure you mean it
I pick up the tab and you won't thank me
Not that i mind, but in my dreams it's all so different - we even kiss
Imagine this
Bitterness is a black hole
But you know by now you got more to give
There's a blue flame inside of you so beautiful and rare
And love's not something you decide to do
You'd be so hard to love if love was not just there
Impossible to love if love was not for some strange reason there

5. _ Drunk Song
The hands on the clock stopped moving a long time ago
To the horror of cops and mothers and daughters
But i've made it to 2am
Now it's nothing to do with them
It's my life - or funeral
Another round for me, and those old friends
I know it might appear to be lonely
So here's to the ___ on
Let's drink till the stone is gone
Then start over again
A man raises his hat, and says, "johnnie walker" to you
He ___ stands guard for the tower of london
There's heroes and villians here
Captain morgan and belvedere
And queen victoria
Wild turkeys and bass abound in this ____ oon
And even the grouse is said to be famous
Flying through mars to bed
Triennals and stars of red
Swirling into the air
Let's ride a white horse all the way from sambucca to rome
____ack the back on the mythical centaur (sator?)
______ strike on the harp
We sail on the ______
Over the air _____

6. _ El Blanco
Uptown - downtown
No se enredan - soy el blanco
Black, white - day, night
No se enredan - soy el blanco
Se dijo que loco estoy
Vagando por este barrio
Mire que tenga cuidado
Pero para que sirve
Se que nadie soy
Pero por donde ande
Me pudieram sonreir
Dar la mano y matarme
Uptown - downtown
No se enredan - soy el blanco
Black, white - day, night
No se enredan - soy el blanco
Se dijo que loco estoy
Viviendo en loca ciudad
Le digo que son vagos
O se nada, o se unde
Yo se lo, que hago,
Feliz dia tras dia
Pero pasa algo
Y un cobarde soy
Uptown - downtown
No se enredan - soy el blanco
Black, white - day, night
No se enredan - soy el blanco

7. _ Jenny Jenny
Every time i think of you
Yeah, even this much later
I wish there was something i could do
But i guess you're still the same
You do almost anything but stop the fight
Never surrender, you just tough it out all night
And i think of the little things we used to do
And i think of the way that he's been treating you
And i'll ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?
How can you stand for what you put yourself through?
And i think of the little things we used to do
And i think of the way that he's been treating you
And i'll ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?
With your picture in my hand
I don't even know what i'm feeling
I'll stop trying to understand
I just wish i could reach out to you
Reach out so far across the sea
And sometimes as the baby sleeps i know you think of me
And you think of the little things we used to do
And you can't understand the way he's treating you
So i'll ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?
How can you stand for what you put yourself through?
When i think of the way we always used to be
And you know that he'll never love you more than me
So i'll ask you once again
Jenny jenny, what happened to you?

8. _ For Your Love
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
I'd give you everything and more, and that's for sure.
For your love.
I'd bring you diamond rings and things right to your door.
For your love.
To thrill you with delight, i'll give you diamonds bright.
There'll be things that will excite,
To make you dream of me at night.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love, for your love,
I would give the stars above.
For your love, for your love,
I would give you all i could.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
I'd give the moon if it were mine to give.
For your love.
I'd give the stars and the sun 'fore i live.
For your love.
To thrill you with delight,
I'll give you diamonds bright.
There'll be things that will excite,
To make you dream of me at night.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.
For your love.

9. _ Don't Ask Me
I got ideas but i don't know it all
And when i speak you know my voice is small
And when i'm walking down the street
I never smile at folks i meet
Cause i know they won't smile at me
Now ask yourself why this should be
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Don't ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Don't ask me
I got feelings but they don't count for much
And i shake my fist but i got no power as such
But if i tell you what i see
Don't throw my words right back at me
Cause i can't shout and i can't moan
Cause i got problems of my own
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Don't ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Don't ask me
Someday soon i gotta learn enough
To justify my actions
Until then i want you all to try
To share my gut reactions
Gut reactions
But if you want the answers
If you want the answers
Don't ask me
If you want the answers
If you want the answers
Don't ask me

10. _ You Got The Fever
Well, things are getting bad now
Since your woman left you, just can't do without it
The other day you even read a book
That tells you how to go about it
It says to join an evening class
Or hang around in zoos and railway stations
And gives you lots of lines to use
And how to make the best of situations
You know it's just a bunch of crap, you used to do okay
But that was long ago and far away
You got the fever
You got the fever
You gotta love her
And you gotta leave her
It's something you can't fight [hey hey hey]
Let's call it something polite
Like the fever of love
Fever of love
The girls that want you you don't want
The girls you want they never seem to want you
The girls at work are married
And the girls at dances never seem to want to
The girls in bars are always with a friend
Or waitin' for their new fianc

11. _ Rhythm Delivery
I'm gonna ring your bell
Because i got your number
I'm gonna knock as well
We got a rhythm delivery
I'm gonna stomp and yell
We gonna bring a drummer
We gotta beat that swell
We got a rhythm delivery
Babe, i'm gonna cheer you up
Set your table, fill your cup
Don't you think i should come up
Check that i got what you wanted
So get it while it's hot
And get it while it's jumpin'
Cause if you're in or not
We got a rhythm delivery
Yes, i'm gonna rock your soul
You will go to high from low
You from swell will go to hip
But honey, don't forget my tip
So get it while it's hot
And get it while it's jumpin'
Cause if you're in or not
I got a rhythm delivery

12. _ Statue Of Liberty
The first time i saw you standing in the water
You must have been all of a thousand feet tall
Nearly naked - unashamed like herod's daughter
Your love was so big
It made new york look small
You've been the subject of so many dreams
Since i climbed your torso
Oh!
My statue of liberty
Boo boo
Impaled on your hair
What do you do
Do do to me
Boo boo
I leaned right over to kiss your stoney book
A little jealous of the ships with whom you flirt
A billion lovers with their cameras
Snap to look and in my fantasy
I sail beneath your skirt

13. _ Enough Is Not Enough
Slow down, you know you're leaving me behind
You seem to think that you can read my mind
You think i'm rich, you think i'm free
You wanna change your place with me
Be a leader then the blind can lead the blind
Happens all the time
Can't you understand . . .
Enough is not enough, it's not enough . . .
It's not enough
I've been filled with culture, i've been filled with lies
And compliments from people i despise
Shake my hand and sing along
Always getting one line wrong
Shout for more when i know i just died
Died . . .
Can't you understand . . .
Enough is not enough, it's not enough . . .
It's not enough
So - when i think i know my way around
I'm gonna take a bus to the other side of town
I'm gonna stay out all night long
Gonna sing some strange new song
Lose myself and hope i don't get found
Don't ask me how
Can't you understand . . .
Enough is not enough, it's not enough . . .
It's not enough

14. _ (he's A) Shape In A Drape
There's a guy going round the town
You got to check what he is puttin' down
Just one look you know the story is great
He's the guy the chicks love
And the cats can't hate
He's a shape in a drape
A shape in a drape
He's a shape in a drape
And you can dig that he is stookin'
Now some say he's a clipster and a tailor's toad
And he could hype a miserman for all his gold
Some say he's a hipster and some say nix
But everyone's solid when he gets his kicks
He's a shape in a drape
A shape in a drape
He's a shape in a drape
And he is sure alive and kickin'

15. _ The Harder They Come
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when i die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them lord, they know not what they've done
'cause as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
And i keep on fighting for the things i want
Though i know that when you're dead you can't
But i'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall,
One and all

16. _ Different For Girls (new Recording)
He: what the hell is wrong with you tonight?
I can't seem to say or do the right thing
Wanted to be sure you're feeling right
Wanted to be sure we want the same thing
She said:
She: i don't believe it
You can't - possibly mean it
Don't we - all want the same thing?
Don't we?
Who said anything about love?
He: no, not love, she said
She: don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
He: no, not love, she said
She: don't you know that it's different for girls?
Both: you're all the same
He: mama always told me: save yourself
Take a little time and find the right girl
Then again don't end up on the shelf
Logical advice gets you in a whirl
I know - a lot of things that
You don't - you wanna hear some?
She said:
She: just give me something
Anything
Give me all you got but not love
He: no, not love, she said
She: don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
He: no, not love, she said
She: don't you know that it's different for girls?
You're all the same
He: you're all the same
She: you're all the same
He: you're all the same
She: you're all the same
He: you're all the same
She: you're all the same
He: you're all the same
She: give me anything but not love
He: no, not love, she said
She: don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
He: no, not love, she said
She: don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
He: no, no, no, not love, she said
She: don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
He: no, not love, she said
She: don't you know that it's different for girls?
Both: you're all the same

17. _ Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries
People are queer, they're always crowing, scrambling and rushing about;
Why don't they stop someday, address themselves this way?
Why are we here? where are we going? it's time that we found out.
We're not here to stay; we're on a short holiday.
Life is just a bowl of cherries.
Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious.
You work, you save, you worry so,
But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go.
So keep repeating it's the berries,
The strongest oak must fall,
The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you've never owned?
Life is just a bowl of cherries,
So live and laugh at it all.
Life is just a bowl of cherries.
Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious.
At eight each morning i have got a date,
To take my plunge 'round the empire state.
You'll admit it's not the berries,
In a building that's so tall;
There's a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss;
Get thousands a week just for crooning like this:
Life is just a bowl of . . . aw, nuts!
So live and laugh at it all!
