Love Is a Stranger
|
|
Love is a stranger In an open car To tempt you in And drive you far away And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession Love is a danger Of a different kind To take you away And leave you far behind And love love love Is a dangerous drug You have to receive it And you still can't Get enough of the stuff It's savage and it's cruel And it shines like destruction Comes in like the flood And it seems like religion It's noble and it's brutal It distorts and deranges And it wrenches you up And you're left like a zombie And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession It's guilt edged Glamorous and sleek by design You know it's jealous by nature False and unkind It's hard and restrained And it's totally cool It touches and it teases As you stumble in the debris And I want you And I want you And I want you so It's an obsession |

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
|
|
Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused Hold your head up Keep your head up Moving on |

Who's That Girl?
|
|
Who's that girl? The language of love Slips from my lover's tongue Cooler than ice cream And warmer than the sun Dumb hearts get broken Just like china cups The language of love Has left me broken on the rocks But there's just one thing (Just one thing) But there's just one thing And I really wannna know Who's that girl Running around with you? Tell me Who's that girl Running around with you? The language of love Has left me stony grey Tongue tied and twisted At the price I've had to pay Your careless notions Have silenced these emotions Look at all the foolishness Your lover's talk has done |

Right by Your Side
|
|
Give me two strong arms To protect myself Give me so much love That I forget myself I need to swing from limb to limb To relieve this mess I'm in 'Cause when depression starts to win I need to be right by your side No one seems to touch me In the way you do Nothing seems to hurt me When I'm close to you I'm so full of desire When you set my head on fire I need to be right by your side Every single one of us needs Love, love, love Everybody needs to give and receive love Every single day can drag us Down, down, down But there's nothing left to fear When love gets into town I'm so full of desire When you set my head on fire I need to be right by your side |

Here Comes the Rain Again
|
|
Here comes the rain again Falling on my head like a memory Falling on my head like a new emotion I want to walk in the open wind I want to talk like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean Is it raining with you So baby talk to me Like lovers do Walk with me Like lovers do Talk to me Like lovers do Here comes the rain again Raining in my head like a tragedy Tearing me apart like a new emotion Oooooh I want to breathe in the open wind I want to kiss like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean Is it raining with you So baby talk to me Like lovers do Here comes the rain again Falling on my head like a memory Falling on my head like a new emotion (Here it comes again, here it comes again) I want to walk in the open wind I want to talk like lovers do I want to dive into your ocean Is it raining with you |

There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)
|
|
No-one on earth could feel like this. I'm thrown and overblown with bliss. There must be an angel Playing with my heart. I walk into an empty room And suddenly my heart goes "boom"! It's an orchestra of angels And they're playing with my heart. Must be talking to an angel No-one on earth could feel like this. I'm thrown and overblown with bliss. There must be an angel Playing with my heart. And when I think that I'm alone It seems there's more of us at home. It's a multitude of angels And they're playing with my heart. Must be talking to an angel I must be hallucinating Watching angels celebrating. Could this be reactivating All my senses dislocating? This must be a strange deception By celestial intervention. Leavin' me the recollection Of your heavenly connection. |

Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves
|
|
Now there was a time when they used to say That behind every - "great man." There had to be a - "great woman." But in these times of change you know That it's no longer true. So we're comin' out of the kitchen 'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you (we say) Sisters are doin' it for themselves. Standin' on their own two feet. And ringin' on their own bells. Sisters are doin' it for themselves. Now this is a song to celebrate The conscious liberation of the female state! Mothers - daughters and their daughters too. Woman to woman We're singin' with you. The "inferior sex" got a new exterior We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too. Everybody - take a look around. Can you see - can you see - can you see There's a woman right next to you. Sisters are doin' it for themselves. Standin' on their own two feet. And ringin' on their own bells. Sisters are doin' it for themselves. Now we ain't makin' stories And we ain't layin' plans 'Cause a man still loves a woman And a woman still loves a man (Just a same though) |

It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back)
|
|
It's alright - baby's coming back And I don't really care where he's been. It's alright - baby's coming back And I won't turn him around this time. I'll be your cliff (you can fall down from me). I'll be your ledge (you can lean upon me). I'll be your bridge (your flowering tree) You can still depend on me... And I'll be (the ticking of your clock). And I'll be (the numbers on your watch). And I'll be (your hands to stop the time). I'll even be your danger sign. It's alright - baby's coming back And I don't really care where he's been. It's alright - baby's coming back And I won't turn him around this time. And I'll be (your grace your dignity). And I'll be (your night your destiny). And I'll be (your comfort and your ease). I will be your storm at seas... And I'll be (your sharp intake of breath). And I'll be (your work I'll take no rest). And when the world falls to decline I'll be yours and you'll be mine. It's alright - baby's coming back And I don't really care where he's been. It's alright - baby's coming back And I won't turn him around this time. (Make it easy on yourself tonight). |

When Tomorrow Comes
|
|
Underneath your dreamlit eyes Shades of sleep have driven you away The moon is pale outside And you are far from here Breathing shifts your careless head Untroubled by the chaos of our lives Another day, another night Has taken you again my dear And you know that I'm gonna be the one Who'll be there When you need someone to depend upon When tomorrow comes (Wait till tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes (Wait till tomorrow comes) Last night while you were lying in my arms And I was wondering where you were You know you looked just like a baby Fast asleep in this dangerous world Every star was shining brightly Just like a million years before And we were feeling very small Underneath the universe And you know that I'm gonna be the one Who'll be there When you need someone to depend upon When tomorrow comes (Wait till tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes (Wait till tomorrow comes) And you know that I'm gonna be the one Who'll be there When you need someone to depend upon When tomorrow comes (Wait till tomorrow comes) When tomorrow comes (Wait till tomorrow comes) |

You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart
|
|
Take me to the desert Where there's got to be A whole heap of nothing For you and me Take me to the desert Take me to the sand Show me the colour of your right hand. Love is a temple Love is a shrine Buy some love at the five and dime A little bit of love From the counter store Get it on credit if you need some more. I'll be the figure of your disgrace A criss cross pattern upon your face A woman's just too tired to think About the dirty old dishes in the kitchen sink. I wish I was invisible So I could climb through the telephone When it hurts my ear And it hurts my brain And it makes me feel too much Too much too much too much. Don't cut me down When I'm talking to you 'Cause I'm much too tall To feel that small. Love is a temple Love is a shrine Love is pure And love is blind Love is a religious sign I'm gonna leave this love behind. Love is hot and love is cold I've been bought and I've been sold Love is rock and love is roll I just want someone to hold. |

The Miracle of Love
|
|
How many sorrows do you try to hide In a world of illusion that's covering your mind I'll show you something good I'll show you something good When you open your mind you'll discover the sign That there's something you're longing to find The miracle of love Will take away your pain When the miracle of love Comes your way again Cruel is the night that covers up your fears Tender is the one that wipes away your tears There must be a bitter breeze to make you sting so viciously They say the greatest coward can hurt the most ferociously But I'll show you something good I'll show you something good If you open your heart you can make a start When your crumbling world falls apart The miracle of love Will take away your pain When the miracle of love Comes your way again |

Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)
|
|
Can I take this for granted With your eyes over me? In this place This wintery home I know there's always someone in Sexcrime Sexcrime Nineteen eighty four And so I face the wall Turn my back against it all How I wish I'd been unborn Wish I was unliving here Sexcrime Sexcrime Nineteen eighty four I'll pull the bricks down One by one Leave a big hole in the wall Just where you are looking in |

Thorn in My Side
|
|
Thorn in my side You know that's all you ever were A bundle of lies You know that's all that it was worth I should have known better But I trusted you at first I should have known better But I got what I deserved To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run) To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run) Thorn in my side You know that's all you'll ever be So don't think you know better 'Cause that's what you mean to me I was feeling complicated I was feeling low Now everytime I think of you I shiver to the bone To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run) To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run) Run, run, run, run Run, run, run, run To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run) To run away from you (Run, run, run, run) Was all that I could do (Run, run, run, run) |

Don't Ask Me Why
|
|
Miracle of miracles Look what the night dragged in - It's a pocket full of misery And trouble on the wind You spoiled the best years Of your life You took them all in vain Now you think that you're forgiven But you can't be born again And you say Why? You say why? You say why? Don't ask me why - I don't love you anymore I don't think I ever did And if you ever had Any kind of love for me You kept it all so well hid... Promises sweet promises You kept them from your mind Like all the lost forgotten things You never seemed to find Like all the disappointments You displayed upon your shelf Now you've got no-one to turn to You've got no-one but yourself And you say Why?... |

Angel
|
|
Underneath this canopy of snow Where fifty-seven winters Took their toll Where did you go? And I believed in you I believed in you Like Elvis Presley Singing psalms on a Sunday (Where did you go?) Well she's gone to meet her maker Back to where she came from Come to save her soul... Come to save her soul... Come to take her home 'Cause it's late and past Your bedtime Well past bedtime Angel My angel Fly over me Angel... She took her life Within her hands She took her life Within her own two hands And no-one can tell her What to do now And I believed in you I believed in you Like Elvis Presley Singin live from Las Vegas (Where did you go?) Well she's gone to meet Her maker Back to where she came from Come to save her soul... |

Would I Lie to You?
|
|
Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you honey? Now would I say something that wasn't true? I'm asking you sugar Would I lie to you? My friends - know what's in store. I won't be here anymore. I've packed my bags I've cleaned the floor. Watch me walkin'. Walkin' out the door. Believe me - I'll make it make it Tell you straight - no intervention. To your face - no deception. You're the biggest fake. That much is true. Had all I can take. Now I'm leaving you Believe me - I'll make it make it Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you honey? Now would I say something that wasn't true? I'm asking you sugar Would I lie to you? Watch me - watch me! |

Missionary Man
|
|
Well, I was born an original sinner I was borne from original sin And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin My mother told me good, my mother told me strong She said "Be true to yourself and you can't go wrong" "But there's just one thing that you must understand" "You can fool with your brother, but don't mess with a missionary man" Don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man Well, the missionary man, he's got God on his side He's got the saints and apostles backing up from behind Black eyed looks from those Bible books He's a man with a mission, got a serious mind There was a woman in the jungle and a monkey on a tree The missionary man, he was following me He said "Stop what you're doing, get down upon your knees" "I've a message for you that you better believe" Don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man Well, I was born an original sinner I was borne from original sin And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done There'd be a mountain of money Don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man |

I Need a Man
|
|
I don't care if you won't Talk to me You know I'm not that kind of girl. And I don't care if you won't Walk with me It don't give me such a thrill. And I don't care about the way you look You should know I'm not impressed 'Cause there's just one thing That I'm looking for And he don't wear a dress. I need a man... I need a man... Baby baby baby Don't you shave your legs Don't you double comb your hair Don't powder puff Just leave it rough I like your fingers bare. When the night comes down I can turn it round I can take you anywhere. I don't need love Forget that stuff You know that I don't care I need a man... I need a man... I don't need a heartbreaker Fifty-faced trouble maker Two timing time taker Dirty little money maker Muscle bound cheap skate Low down woman hater Triple crossing double dater Yella bellied alligator... I don't care if you won't Talk to me You know I'm not that kind of girl. And I don't care if you won't Walk with me It don't give me such a thrill. And I don't care about the way you look You should know I'm not impressed 'Cause there's just one thing That I'm looking for And he don't wear a dress. |
