Modern Love
|
|
I catch a paper boy But things don't really change I'm standing in the wind But I never wave bye-bye But I try, I try There's no sign of life It's just the power to charm I'm lying in the rain But I never wave bye-bye But I try, I try Never gonna fall for Modern love - walks beside me Modern love - walks on by Modern love - gets me to the church on time Church on time - terrifies me Church on time - makes me party Church on time - puts my trust in god and man God and man - no confessions God and man - no religion God and man - don't believe in modern love It's not really work It's just the power to charm I'm still standing in the wind But I never wave bye bye But I try, I try Modern love - walks beside me Modern love - walks on by Modern love - gets me to the church on time Church on time - terrifies me Church on time - makes me party Church on time - puts my trust in god and man God and man - no confessions God and man - no religion God and man - don't believe in modern love Modern love - Modern love Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me Modern love - Modern love, walks on by |

China Girl
|
|
I could escape this feeling with my China Girl I feel a wreck without my little China Girl I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder Saw they stars crashing I'm a mess without my little China Girl Wake up mornings where's my little China Girl I hear her heart's beating, loud as thunder Saw they stars crashing down I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando When I look at my China Girl I could pretend that nothing really meant too much When I look at my China Girl I stumble into town just like a sacred cow Visions of swastikas in my head Plans for everyone It's in the whites of my eyes My little China Girl You shouldn't mess with me I'll ruin everything you are I'll give you television I'll give you eyes of blue I'll give you men who want to rule the world And when I get excited My little China Girl says Oh baby just you shut your mouth She says sh-sh-shhh |

Let's Dance

Let's dance Put on your red shoes and dance the blues Let's dance To the song they're playin' on the radio Let's sway While colour lights up your face Let's sway Sway through the crowd to an empty space If you say run, I'll run with you And if you say hide, we'll hide Because my love for you Would break my heart in two If you should fall Into my arms And tremble like a flower Let's dance For fear your grace should fall Let's dance For fear tonight is all Let's sway You could look into my eyes Let's sway Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight And if you say run, I'll run with you And if you say hide, we'll hide Because my love for you Would break my heart in two If you should fall Into my arms And tremble like a flower Let's dance Put on your red shoes and dance the blues Let's dance To the song we're playin' Let's sway Let's sway Under the moonlight, the serious moonlight Let's dance |

Without You
|
|
Just when I'm ready to throw in my hand Just when the best things in life are gone I look into your eyes There's no smoke without fire You're exactly who I want to be with Without you What would I do And when I'm willing to call it a day Just when I won't take another chance I hold your hand There's no smoke without fire Woman I love you Without you What would I do |

Ricochet
|
|
Like weeds on a rock face waiting for the scythe Ricochet - ricochet The world is on a corner waiting for jobs Ricochet - ricochet Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall And who can bear to be forgotten And who can bear to be forgotten March of flowers, march of dimes These are the prisons, these are the crimes Men wait for news while thousands are still asleep Dreaming of tramlines factories pieces of machinery Mine shafts things like that March of flowers, march of dimes These are the prisons, these are the crimes Sound of thunder, sound of gold Sound of the devil breaking parole Ricochet - it's not the end of the world Sound of thunder, sound of gold Sound of the devil breaking parole Ricochet - ricochet These are the prisons, these are the crimes Teaching life in a violent new way Ricochet - ricochet Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall And who can bear to be forgotten And who can bear to be forgotten March of flowers, march of dimes These are the prisons, these are the crimes Early, before the sun, they struggle off to the gates In their secret fearful places they see their lives Unraveling before them March of flowers, march of dimes These are the prisons, these are the crimes Sound of thunder, sound of gold Sound of the devil breaking parole Ricochet - it's not the end of the world But when they get home, damp eyed and weary They smile and crush their children to their heaving chests Making unfulfillable promises For who can bear to be forgotten |

Criminal World
|
|
You never told me of your other faces You were the widow of a wild cat And now I know about your special kisses And I know you know where that's at I guess I recognize your destination I think I see beneath your makeup What you want is so separation This is no ordinary This is no ordinary What a criminal world The boys are like baby-faced girls What a criminal girl She'll show you where to shoot your gun What a typical mother's son The only thing that she enjoys Is a criminal world Where the girls are like baby-faced boys You've got a very heavy reputation But no-one knows about your low-life I know a way to find a situation And hold a candle to your high-life disguise You caught me kneeling at your sister's door That was no ordinary stick-up I'm well aware just what you're looking for I am no ordinary I am no ordinary What a criminal world The boys are like baby-faced boys What a criminal girl She'll show you where to shoot your gun What a typical mother's son The only thing that she enjoys Is a criminal world Where the girls are like baby-faced boys Baby-faced boys Baby-face What a criminal world What a criminal Criminal |

Cat People (Putting Out Fire)
|
|
See these eyes so green I can stare for a thousand years Colder than the moon Feel my blood enraged It's just the fear of losing you Don't you know my name Well, you been so long And I've been putting out fire With gasoline See these eyes so red Red like jungle burning bright Those who feel me near Pull the blinds and change their minds It's been so long Still this pulsing night A plague I call a heartbeat Just be still with me But it wouldn't believe what I've been through You've been so long Well it's been so long And I've been putting out the fire with gasoline Putting out the fire With gasoline See these tears so blue An ageless heart that can never mend Tears can never dry A judgment made can never bend See these eyes so green I can stare for a thousand years Just be still with me You wouldn't believe what I've been through Well you've been so long It's been so long And I've been putting out fire with gasoline Putting out fire with gasoline Putting out fire We've been putting out fire Well it's been so long so long so long Yes it's been so long so long so long I've been putting out fire Been so long so long so long And putting out fire Been so long so long so long Yeah yeah putting out fire |

Shake It
|
|
I feel like a sail-boat Adrift on the sea It's a brand new day So when you gonna phone me I could take you to heaven I could spin you to hell But I'll take you to New York It's the place that I know well Sitting on a flagstone talking to a faceless girl And I wondering what to say but my eyes do the talking so well Duck and I sway - what's my line Shoot at a full moon - what's my line So what's my line - shake it baby 'Cause love is the answer Love's talking to me I'd scream and I'll fight for you You're better than money We're the kind of people who can shake it if we're feeling blue When I'm feeling disconnected well I sure know what to do Shake it baby Ah shake it shake it I duck and I sway - what's my line I shoot at a full moon - what's my line So what's my line - shake it shake it baby Shake shake it Shake it baby |
