Lord I Wanna Be Good (music Simon Wallace, lyric Fran Landesman
When Dante saw the souls in Hell, the burning and the frozen
His guide said 'Do not pity them, man, that's the scene they've chosen'
The flames of Hades used to wait for anyone who fell
They must have been brave sinners then when men believed in Hell
Oh Lord I wanna be good
Dear Lord I wanna be good
Sweet Lord I wanna be good
But please not right away
Sometime I think there's still a chance the Devil's gonna get me
I'd like to quit this tearful life but the music just won't let me
I try to keep my hands off you I try to stay away
But I would gamble all my soul to have you one more day
Oh Lord I wanna be good
Dear Lord I wanna be good
Sweet Lord I wanna be good
But please not right away
Oh Lord I wanna be good
Dear Lord I wanna be good
Sweet Lord I wanna be good
But please not right away
Good Lord I'm gonna be good
Tomorrow not today
The flames of Hades used to wait
For anyone who feel
They must have been brave sinners then
When men believed in Hell

Men who love mermaids will never recover
Men who love mermaids are always at sea
Tangled in forests where mermaids keep lovers
Playing in seaweed that won't set them free
Underneath the waves in the spangled light of love
They cannot be reached by a message from above
Men who love mermaids are made for surrender
Glad to be victims or passionate slaves
Men who love mermaids are lost in a blue world
Happy to linger in watery graves

No one loves you like I do you always used to say
Now I know that's not true 'cause lots of people do
People don't do that when I hurt you'd say to me
But that's not fair that's not true
'Cause lots of people do
You've got a heart of gold yellow and cold
It'll be my rock as I grow old
It'll be my island now I'm at sea
And keep you far away from me
I can't live without you
I always hear yousay
But at least you could try it
Take it day by day
I can't live without you
You know that isn't true
Just look around you
Lots of people do

Don't be ashamed everybody's got scars
From their various wars on the way to the stars
Don't try to hide everybody's got scars
From crash

Cri Du Coeur
03:23
|
|
||
|
It's not just my voice that is singing
There are voices from the past
There is the sound of church bells ringing
And some dreams that didn't last
There are the desperate and the gay
The siren song of yesterday
The voice of all my youthful follies
And the one that got away
There is the voice of sister sorrow
And the voice of fleeting joy
There is the voice of some tomorrow
That this moment may destroy
There is a fugitive who drowns
A little girl in mother's gowns
The voice of one more fallen sparrow
That's been broken by this town
And always always when I'm singing
That bird sings along with me
Although in pain its notes are ringing in the face of destiny
If I could tell you all it sings about the winter and the springs
When I was hungry and tormented by misfortune's wicked stings
But I'd do better to forget it for that song's no longer mine
I'm going off to something sweeter than that shabby Auld Lang Syne
Don't want to suffer anymore I'm going to get up off the floor
Although my dearest friend misfortune says 'I've heard that song before'
I'm going to wipe away my teardrops I won't advertise my pain
For all my two a penny troubles aren't enough to stop the train
Right now I'm on my way to Spain through all the sunsets and the rain
And if this planet doesn't suit me I won't pass this way again
And if the living dead officials at the customs stop me there
Just let them vandalise my baggage I got nothing to declare
Love may be on another train but we are sure to meet again
For just like me Love is a wanderer and we're sure to meet again
And we are sure to meet again

've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I'd tried so not to give in
I said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist when baby I know so well
I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know little fool
You never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin

Oh yes, I know he love me, my babe
Oh yes, I know he love me,

My babe, true little baby, my babe
My baby don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh no, he don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh no, he don't stand no cheatin',
Ev'rything he do she do so pleasin'

My baby don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh yeah, she don't stand no foolin',
When she's hot there ain't no coolin'
My babe, true little baby, my babe
She's my baby (true little baby) ...

Hell's Angel
02:26
|

|
You walked into my dream last night and made yourself at home
You asked if you could have a bath and could you use my comb
You hung your halo on the door and folded up your wings
As though you'd never been away you rummaged through my things
You brushed some stardust off your sleeve and danced around the room
You said that you'd come back to bring a message from the tomb
You said that you'd been playing with a rockband in the sky
With Jimmy, Johnny, Mama Cass and all of them could fly
And everything was right as rain and all our friends were swell
And one day we would meet again in what some fools call Hell

Don't fall in love with me that wouldn't do
I couldn't ever be faithfull to you
Don't fall in love with me I'm no damn good
You'd only lose your way in my neighbourhood
I'm not conceited but I've got some idea of what I'm worth
You'll be defeated if you try to bring me down to earth
Just be little pet don't break my shell
Keep playing hard to get and
I'm not your destiny kiss me and run
Don't fall in love with me don't spoil the fun

Love's Eyes
02:33
|
|||
|
Love comes along with sweet death in her eyes
Leading you down to a tunnel of sighs
Whispering secrets and old alibis
With death in her eyes
Love comes along with a knife in her hands
Armed with the secrets of life in her hands
Swinging her hips to the beat of the bands
A knife in her hands
Singing honey come here tonight is the night
Then she blows in your ear and out goes the light
Love comes along like some god in disguise
Opening doors to a lost paradise
Scary seductive the ultimate prize
With life in her hands and death in her eyes
Singing honey come here tonight is the night
Then she blows in your ear and out goes the light

Looking For A Girl (Boy)

Popular Right Now
I've been looking for a boy who drinks and smokes
Who takes a lot of drugs and can take a joke
Where does this boy of mine hide herself away?
Whoever he is I hope she's on her way
I've been looking for a boy
I've been looking for a boy
I've been looking for a boy who knows how to love me
I've been looking for a boy who is good in bed
Who knows when it's time to knock it on the head
I guess it's good lovin' that I want the most
Someone who turns my bread into buttered toast
I've been looking for a boy
I've been looking for a boy
I've been looking for a boy who knows how to love me
I've been looking for a boy won't scream and shout
When I disappear for weeks like a roustabout
This kind of good lovin' is hard to find
The perfect combination of the cruel and kind
I've been looking for a boy
I've been looking for a boy
I've been looking for a boy who knows how to love me
I see those couples going streaming by
Looking so easy like they don't even try
It's like a magic trick slight of hand
Sawn in half by a golden band
I've been looking for a boy easy on the eyes
But not so frickin' stupid that I want to cry
I know God doesn't give with both his hands
So I guess I just want someone I can stand
I've been looking for a voy
I've been looking for a boy
I've been looking for a boy who knows how to love me

Stranger

I was never someone normal
I was always a surprise
I was always someone different
Changing shape and changing size
I was sometimes someone's partner
Someone's pupil,
In the glass I'd see a stranger
Sometimes wasted, sometimes wise
Waiting for a meeting with that special person
Pretending that I knew what love was all about
Not knowing where I was going
Or if I should make an effort to find out
I was always someone searching
Always trying something new
Never getting what I wanted
Never knowing what was true
In the glass I'd see a stranger
Till I found myself with you

I need a little sugar in my bowl
I need a little hot dog on my roll
I can stand a bit of lovin', oh so bad
I feel so funny, I feel so sad
I need a little steam-heat on my clothes
Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go
What's the matter hard papa
Come on and save your mama's soul
'Cause I need a little sugar, in my bowl, I ain't foolin'
I need a some sugar in my bowl

Noir

He saw her sitting on a stool
Just waiting to crucify some fool in a crowded bar
Her recognised her right away
As if their last dance was yesterday
She's the star of his film noir
Their affair was dark as dangerous as it gets
Kisses in the night lit by cigarettes
Shadows stalked their lives
Menaced marked the scene
Smiles concealing knives
Marvelous and mean
She was the heart of his heartache
A delectable death dealing dame
He never thought she'd end up as an outtake
But she priced herself out of the game
First she stole his style
Then she took his gun
Couldn't find his smile
After she was gone
And now his souvenir is a chain of scars
He sees her ghost in every bar
She's the star of his film noir

If You Believe That

She tells you that she's fascinated
By your person and your attributes
She says of all the guys she's dated
There's not one who's even half as cute
If you believe that you'll believe anything
You'll believe that Elvis is alive and well and still the king
You'll believe there's nothing wrong with getting fat
You'll believe anything if you believe that
If you believe that you'll believe tv adds
You'll believe prosperity and jobs are there for college grads
You'll believe the one you love won't leave you flat
You'll believe anything if you believe that
I hate to be the one who tells you
That the girl you're wild for knows how to lie
You're gonne buy the bull she sells you
Even when she tells you that pigs can fly
If you you'll believe that you'll believe in Church and State
You'll believe there really is a chance you'll fill an inside straight
Youl'll believe too much cocaine can't kill a cat
You'll believe anything if you believe that
I hate to be the one who tells you
That the girl you're wild for knows how to lie
You're gonne buy the bull she sells you
Even when she tells you that pigs can fly
If you you'll believe that you'll believe in Church and State
You'll believe there really is a chance you'll fill an inside straight
You'll believe the one you love won't leave you flat
You'll believe anything if you believe that

Did I Break Your Heart
02:25
|

Did I break your heart for a little while?
When I let you go did you lose your smile?
When our fling was flung did it make you weep?
Did I spoil your fun, did you lose much sleep?
Although we parted long ago
Enquiring minds still want to know
About our love affair
And who gave who the air
When you think of me do your eyes grow sad?
Do you finally see what a friend you had?
Do the memories smart, are they pickled in brine?
Did I break your heart? Well you broke mine

Once I was a sentimental thing
Threw my heart away each Spring;
Now a Spring romance hasn't got a chance
Promised my first dance to Winter;
All I've got to show's a splinter for my little fling!
Spring this year has got me feeling like a horse that never left the post;
I lie in my room staring up at the ceiling
Spring can really hang you up the most!
Morning's kiss wakes trees and flowers
And to them I'd like to drink a toast;
I walk in the park just to kill lonely hours
Spring can really hang you up the most!
All afternoon those birds twitter twit
I know the tune, "This is love, this is it!"
Heard it before and I know the score
And I've decided that Spring is a bore!
Love seemed sure around the New Year
Now it's April, love is just a ghost;
Spring arrived on time, only what became of you, dear?
Spring can really hang you up the most!
Spring can really hang you up the most!
Solo
While the world embraces lovers
There’s no trophy heart for me to boast
I’ll just have to wait for my spirits to discover
Spring can really hang you up the most!
Love came my way, I hope it would last;
We had our day, now that's all in the past!
Spring came along a season of sun
Full of sweet promise but something wrong!
Doctors once prescribed a tonic
Sulphur and molasses was the dose;
Didn't help a bit, my condition must be chronic
Spring can really hang you up the most!
All alone, the party's over
Old man Winter was a gracious host;
But when you keep praying for snow to hide the clover
Spring can really hang you up the most!
