Notorious

No-no-notorious No-no-notorious I can't read about it, burns the skin from your eyes I'll do fine without it, here's one you don't compromise Lies come hard to disguise Let me to fight it out, not wild about it Lay your seedy judgements, who says they're part of our lives You own the money, you control the witness I hear you're lonely, don't monkey with my business You pay the profits to justify the reasons I heard your promise, but I don't believe it That's why I'll do it again No-no-notorious Girls will keep the secrets, so long as boys make the noise Fools run rings to break up, something they'll never destroy Grand notorious slam And who really gives a damn for a flaky bandit Don't ask me to bleed about it, I need this blood to survive You own the money, you control the witness I hear you're lonely, don't monkey with my business You pay the profits to justify the reasons I heard your promise, but I don't believe it That's why I'll do it again No-no-notorious Notorious You own the money, you control the witness I hear you're lonely, don't monkey with my business You pay the profits to justify the reasons I heard your promise, but I don't believe it You own the money, you control the witness I hear you're lonely, don't monkey with my business You pay the profits to justify the reasons I heard your promise, but I don't believe it That's why I'll do it again No No-no That's why I'll do it again No-notorious Yeah, that's why I'll do it again No-no-notorious |

American Science
|
|
It's a little bit late now, but there is times you will Get a little bit out of hand making all of a spill And if we can lay this down, you're going all the way Take a look and I'll check it out, 'cause I can always find it Such a lonely place This room without your face Oh, American science All night long she can two-step and sway Oh, it's such poor manners Don't keep me waiting, come lay down beside me A little megalomania becomes you evidently There ain't a thing you can't acquire with your cling-wrap plaything Just look at this state, I crawl around in a daze Like symptomatic case of your soul persuasion Such a lonely place It moves me into place Oh, American science All night long she can two-step and sway Oh, it's such poor manners Don't keep me waiting, come lay down beside me Oh, it's a little bit later now There's times you will let it all get out of hand When you feel you'll be I just wished on the operation Such a lonely place It moves me into place Oh, American science All night long she can two-step and sway Oh, it's such poor manners Don't keep me waiting, come lay down beside me |

Skin Trade
|
|
Working on the weekend, baby, she's working all through the night A jump into the deep end gave her the evidence she required Take five, she's got pearls Don't fake it when it comes to making money So she smiles, but that's cruel If you knew what she'd think, if you knew what she was after Sometimes she wonders and she laughs in her frustration Would someone please explain The reason for this strange behaviour In exploitation's name We must be working for the skin trade Doctors of the revolution gave us the medicine we desired Besides being absolutely painless, it's a question of compromise You've got steel, it's so cool Get angry at the weekend, then go back to school So big deal, it's what rules When it comes to making money, say yes, please, thank you Sometimes you wonder and you ask yourself the question Would someone please explain The reason for this strange behaviour In exploitation's name We must be working for the skin trade Would someone please explain The reason for this strange behaviour In exploitation's name We must be working for the skin trade I know the answer, but I'm asking you the question Would someone please explain The reason for this strange behaviour In exploitation's name We must be working for the skin trade Would someone please explain The reason for this strange behaviour In exploitation's name We must be working for the skin trade |

A Matter of Feeling
|
|
How does it feel, when everyone surrounds you How do you deal, do crowds make you feel lonely What do you say when people come and try to pin you down Aquaintainces smile, but that's no understanding How after a while you keep falling off the same mountain Try to explain it, but nothing really gets that high Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you It's a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new Just a matter of feeling, this moment's madness sure to pass And tears will dry as you're leaving, who knows you might find something to last Emotion's a game saved up for a rainy Monday But you laugh just the same, 'cause it's been pouring on Sunday Call up your numbers and never let the zeros let you down How does it feel, is time to heavy to hold Whatever you decide for the moment is holy whenever you slow down to see life is passing by Steal away in the morning, love's already history to you It's a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new Just a matter of feeling, this moment's madness sure to pass And tears will dry as you're leaving, who knows you might find something to last You can steal away in the morning, love's already history to you It's a habit you're forming, this body's desperate for something new Just a matter of feeling, this moment's madness sure to pass And tears will dry as you're leaving, who knows you might find something to last A matter of feeling A matter of feeling |

Hold Me
|
|
Shall we walk, shall we run Through my head you understand Does the body you conceal need the touch of someone's hand Ashes, violations, who would they burn for In your isolation, why can't you see I wonder if the lights are out I wonder if they're listening Hold me, lay your shame away Show me, where your lovers stay Hold me, lay your ghosts away Show me for yourself You are lost and alone, but a prisoner of your pride When the passions you ignore, you can never hide One of these days you're going to find out 'Cause one of these days you're going to try And what did I say to make you wind up with this spear of guilt inside I wonder if the lights are out I wonder if they're listening Hold me, lay your shame away Show me, where your lovers stay Hold me, lay your ghosts away Show me for yourself Hold me Show me Hold me, lay your shame away Show me, where your lovers stay Hold me, lay your ghosts away Show me for yourself |

Vertigo (Do the Demolition)
|
|
Hey you guys, turn it up to get sleazy Twist it in a vice Nobody said it was easy Just use your naked eyes How to see and how to hide it How to save it, well, maybe, maybe, maybe You can take it and eat it and chew your life supply Where's the real life in your illusion On the dark side, your powers and confusion Do the dance, do the demolition And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen Don't you feel edgy Bite your lips and bleed Conversation is empty Abandoned in the breeze Freedom is your condemnation Free to say, well, maybe, maybe, maybe You can take it or leave it just need a little hit tonight Where's the real life in your illusion On the dark side of power and confusion Do the dance, do the demolition And lose the chance to hear, 'cause you don't listen You can try to believe it Just need a little help tonight Where's the real life in your illusion On the dark side of power and confusion You do the dance, do the demolition And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen Hear it when you listen You can't hear when you don't listen Hear it when you listen You can't hear when you don't listen |

So Misled

I, I, I, I, so misled In the summer of London life, "gold", she said Was a month before I realized, sold instead Hey, it's such an awful choice, gonna break my back Take it easy now, you're weeping boy, don't wanna feel the crack Bust my head to say you lose it, now my body's gotta use it I, I, I should not be so misled I, I, I should not be so misled Saw an advert in a magazine, "safe", it said With the satisfaction guaranteed, to cool your head I can see the solution to this state of confusion I, I, I should not be so misled I, I, I should not be so misled So misled So misled |

Meet El Presidente
|
|
Miss November Tuesday Bend your rubber rules Take your time, but don't take Off your high heel shoes She's in demand at dinner time She's on the factory wall And when the gentlemen retire Guess who's in control She blew your money On taking a cruise If that isn't funny Well, watch out teacher Oh oh, when the chamber's empty She said, "Oh, oh, meet El Presidente" Dress in flimsy clothing Use your lipstick line To cover fear and loathing With a pink disguise You never refuse when she lies back Put a stripe on the union and a star on the jack She's on the case at dinner time She's on the evening news And if you dare step out of line You're going to be abused You may not like it You may not be scared But hell has no fury Like a young girl's ego Oh oh, when the chamber's empty She said, "Oh, oh, meet El Presidente" You might adopt an attitude Look on the moral side But if police are after you Where's the best place to hide For this production They gave her a gun Ain't no director So watch out actors Oh oh, when the chamber's empty She said, "Oh, oh, meet El Presidente" |

Winter Marches On
|
|
The trade's on She drains emotion To drink from Her breast of fortune Dreams have frozen Crystal in the morning Birthtime rose A thorn for coronation All arise from your rest We'll find enough there to feed you Soon you'll belong to the blessed Spare us your lives while we need you Loud is the music, the crowd is ringing Out of my head as the winter marches on Loud is the music the sky is bringing Out of my head as the winter marches on Loud is the music, the crowd is bringing Out of my head as the winter marches on Loud is the music the sky is ringing Out of my head as the winter marches on And on Winter marches on |

Proposition
|
|
"Bring back that child", she said, "spare me the price of freedom Cold is my baby's head blown by the wind of reason" Even the rage behind cries out to see We're still standing under the closing edge Pay for the crime of feeling When all your pride is dead You must be scared instead A quiet word is my proposition A promise made of a fierce day A body bleeds for this coalition Without surrender if you stay "Show me my youth", she cried, "wasted for desolation" Hold up the sacrifice, pull down your institutions Resting while anger flies, question's the same: who's deciding After the clouds have lain shame on your generation When all your guilt lies dead You must be scared instead A quiet word is my proposition A promise made of a fierce day A body bleeds for this coalition Without surrender if you stay When all your pain lies dead You must be scared instead A quiet word is my proposition A promise made of a fierce day A body bleeds for this coalition Without surrender if you stay Proposition |
