This Town
|
|
It's closing time the boys are all together at the bar Staring in their glasses Looks like another layoff at the yard Yesterday I heard union hall come down They hit it with a wrecking ball And they try but nothing changes in this town Cap in hand stood in line Your family ties are the chains that bind The endless wheel goes round and round Chances are you'll never leave this town Oh oh no Like a river now the empty streets are flooded out with rain It's falling on the playground While the kids get wet playing the same old games Locked away so many things remind them of war They tap the pavement with their canes The good old days ain't so good no more |

Cry to Heaven
|
|
I found a black beret on the street today It was lying in the gutter all torn There's a white flag flying on a tall building But the kids just watch the storm Their dirty faces pressed on the windows Shattered glass before their eyes There's a mad dog barking in a burned out subway Where the sniper sleeps at night No birthday songs to sing again Just bricks and stones to give them Wrap them up in your father's flags And let them cry to heaven There are many graves by a cold lake As the beds were when your babies are born And your rag doll sits with a permanent grin But the kids just watch the storm I saw a black cat tease a white mouse Until he killed it with his claws Seems a lot of countries do the same thing Before they go to war |

Soul Glove
|
|
You say today was not so easy Pressure tends to get the best of you Well don't let them break your spirit Keep the faith and you will come on through And I'll head home for the weekend You're tired and you know I'll understand Just be waiting on the front steps baby when I get there And take a giant step into my hands And slip into my soul glove Pull it on we got a tight fit Never take it off And baby if the seam's rough And honey if the skin's soft You and me we go together Oh like a soul glove Look at me don't you believe me Cheating hangs a noose around your neck To shave in someone else's mirror Is one desire I haven't dreamed of yet But I'll head home for the weekend You're tired and you know I'll understand Just be waiting on the front steps baby when I get there And take a giant step into my hands |

Nikita
|
|
Hey Nikita is it cold In your little corner of the world You could roll around the globe And never find a warmer soul to know Oh I saw you by the wall Ten of your tin soldiers in a row With eyes that looked like ice on fire The human heart a captive in the snow Oh Nikita, you will never know anything about my home I'll never know how good it feels to hold you Nikita, I need you so Oh Nikita, is the other side of any given line in time Counting ten tin soldiers in a row Oh no, Nikita, you'll never know Do you ever dream of me Do you ever see the letters that I write When you look up through the wire Nikita do you count the stars at night And if there comes a time Guns and gates no longer hold you in And if you're free to make a choice Just look towards the west and find a friend Oh Nikita, you will never know anything about my home I'll never know how good it feels to hold you Nikita, I need you so Oh Nikita, is the other side of any given line in time Counting ten tin soldiers in a row Oh no, Nikita, you'll never know |

Too Young
|
|
Your mother's eyes look straight through me Whenever we meet Your father swears it'll never be As long as he breaths And how many times have they told you That you're too young How, how I've ached to hold you But you're too young If we don't buy what's right or wrong Then we are sinners We were never two to tag along But we were always winners And how many people, have told you That you're too young And how many jealous hands would love to hold you Cause you're too young Well you're too young to love me And I'm too old for you At least that's what they tell us It's in their book of rules That you're too young, too young baby you're too young We could try it for a while But they'd get us in the long run They say that you're too young, baby you're too young |

Wrap Her Up

|
There are ladies, illegal X's Mona Lisa's, well connected They may be shady, English roses Blue blooded, turn up noses Money talks, see what it catches Postage paid, no strings attached She's a honey, she's a tramp Roaring twenties, molls and vamps Wrap her up, I'll take her home with me Wrap her up, she is all I need Wrap her up, I only got one chance Beast and beauties, but they all can dance Wrap her up, I'll take her home with me Wrap her up, she is all I need Wrap her up, give her to me Wrap her up Is she foreign, legs eleven Italian girls, take me to heaven You pretty babies, from Paris France Crazy horses, love to dance Wrap her up, I'll take her home with me Wrap her up, she is all I need Wrap her up, I only got one chance Beast and beauties, but they all can dance Wrap her up, I'll take her home with me Wrap her up, she is all I need Wrap her up, give her to me Wrap her up Give her to me, wrap her up I'll take her home with me, wrap her up She is all I need, wrap her up I only got one chance, beast and beauties But they all can dance Wrap her up, I'll take her home with me Wrap her up, she is all I need Wrap her up, give her to me |

Satellite
|
|
Well you come on like a comet, ideas in your head Starving for affection, waiting to be fed Crazy like a full moon, eyes open wide Taking in everything you need to stay alive Who leads who, who knows where If you leave me now will I see you again I'm telling you love bites Like a satellite Going round and round It's something, something you can't fight Oh in the daylight And even in the dark night I want you to surround me Surround me like a satellite Oh you move like a shadow of your own design Do you want to trap me in between the lines I don't walk on water if you think I can If you want a miracle call up a Superman Are we there Is this love Is this a space race That we're both part of |

Tell Me What the Papers Say
|
|
I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies Tell me what the papers say Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday At least that's what the papers say Coal mines closed down Nobody's working underground today More jails, peace for sale Japanese still killing whales Teen dreams On two inch screens Lipstick boys all look like queens Least that's what the papers say I spy headlines, newsprint tells lies Tell me what the papers say Save lives don't drive, everybody's got to die someday Least that's what the papers say Dope and pills, guns kill Death just buys cheap thrills Coal mines, closed down Nobody's working underground today Teen dreams, on two inch screens Lipstick boys all look like queens Least that's what the papers say |

Candy by the Pound
|
|
Well I'm keeping off the streets since you came to town Since you claimed my heart from the lost and found I have said goodbye to my fooling around Now you and me babe we got candy by the pound You and me babe we got candy by the pound Well I never knew it could feel so good Be the king of the hill in my neighbourhood Rain on my roof what a sweet sound Oh with you underneath it's like candy by the pound With you underneath it's like candy by the pound You can tell everybody that this girl of mine Is sweeter than the grapes hanging from the vine Love like wine honey drinking till I drown Keep it coming baby like candy by the pound Oh no what's come over me If I am dreaming then let me sleep Oh wow I'm heaven bound Love is getting sweeter than candy by the pound Now I'm ducking in the alley of common sense Hiding from the claws of my old girl friend She's screaming murder beating my door down While I'm right behind it I'm eating candy by the pound I'm right behind it eating I'm candy by the pound |

Shoot Down the Moon
|
|
Oh no I don't want it You can take it all I'll put my money where my mouth is Put your suitcase in the hall Oh you robbed me blind Of what little hope remained You put a gun to my head A bullet through my brain You can't shoot down the moon Some things never change We can build a bridge between us But the empty space remains You can't shoot down the moon Some things never change We can build a bridge between us But the empty space remains Just as long as you're around We live on borrowed time I'll put my money where my mouth is You're guilty at the scene of the crime I never say more than I need The mystery runs deep The dangers buried below The secrets that you keep |
