Discothèque - (5:19)
You can reach,
But you can't grab it...
You can hold it, control it
You can't bag it...
You can push,
But you can't direct it...
Circulate, regulate, oh no,
You cannot connect it...
You know you're chewing bubblegum,
You know what that is,
But you still want some,
You just can't get enough,
Of that lovei dovei stuff...
You get confused,
But you know it,
Yeah, you hurt for it, work for it, LOVE...
You don't always show it...
LET GO LET'S GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
GO GO... LET GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
Looking for the one,
But you know you're somewhere else instead...
You want to be the song,
The song that hear in your head...
LOVE...
It's not a trick...
You can't learn it...
It's the way you don't pay, that's okay,
'Cause you can't earn it...
You know you're chewing bubblegum,
You know what that is,
But you still want some,
You just can't get enough,
Of that lovei dovei stuff...
LET GO LET'S GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
GO GO... LET GO... DISCOTHÈQUE
Looking for the one,
But you know you're somewhere else instead,
I want to be the song,
Be the song that you hear in your head...
LOVE
Your Love won't be enough,
I don't need your love,
Soon you will be done...
But you take what you can get,
'Cose it's all that you can find,
Oh, you know there's something more,
But tonight, tonight, tonight...
Discothèque
Discothèque I can't get in, I paid, not enough... Boom Cha Discothèque I can't get in, I paid, not enough... Boom Cha Discothèque I can't get in, I paid, not enough... Boom Cha
Do You Feel Loved - (5:07)
Take these hands,
They're good for nothing...
You know this hands have never worked a day,
Take these boots they're going nowhere...
You know theese boots they don't want to stray,
You got my head filled with songs,
You got my shoelaces undone,
Take my shirt go on take it off me...
You can tear it up,
If you can tie me down...
DO YOU FEEL LOVED ?
DO YOU FEEL LOVED ?
TAKE THE colours of my imagination,
TAKE THE scent hanging in the air,
Take this tangle of a coversation,
And turn it into your own prayer...
With my fingers as you want them,
With my nails in your hide,
With my teeth at your back,
And my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies...
DO YOU FEEL LOVED ?
DO YOU FEEL LOVED ?
AND IT LOOKS like the SUN BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE RAIN...
Love's a bully pushing and shoving,
In the belly of a woman...
Heavy rhythm taking over,
To stick together,
A man and a woman...
Stick together,
Man and woman...
Stick together...
DO YOU FEEL LOVED ?
DO YOU FEEL LOVED ?
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUN,
BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE RAIN,
And THERE'S HEAT IN THE SUN TO SEE US TROUGH THE RAIN...
Mofo - (5:47)
Lookin' for to save my save my soul,
Lookin' in the places where no flowers grow,
Lookin' for to fill that GOD shaped hole...
Mother mother sucking rock and roll...
(Been around the back... Been around the front...)
Holy dunc, spacejunk comin' in for the splash,
White dopes on punk staring into the flash,
Lookin' for baby Jesus under the trash...
Mother mother suckin' rock and roll...
Mother (scat singing) rock and roll...
Mother am I still your son,
You know I've waited for so long to hear you say so...
Mother you and made me someone,
Now I'm still a child but no one tells me no...
Lookin' for a sound that's gonna drown out the world,
Lookin' for the father of my two little girls...
Got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade,
Still looking for the face I had before the world was made...
Mother mother sucking rock and roll
Bubble poppin' sugar droppin'Rock and roll
(Scat singing)
Woo me sister,
Move me brother,
Soothe me mother,
Rule me father,
Show me mother...
Days passing around each other...
If God Will Send His Angels - (5:22)
Nobody else here baby,
No one else here to blame,
No one to point the finger...
It's just you and me and the rain...
Nobody made you do it,
No one put words in your mouth...
Nobody here taking orders
when love took a train heading south...
It's the blind leading the blond,
It's the stuff the stuff of country songs...
HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS,
AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN,
AND IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS,
Would everything be alright ?
God has got his phone off the hook babe,
Would he even pick up if He could ?
It's been a while since we saw that child hangin' round this neighbourhood...
See His Mother dealing in a doorway,
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl,
Jesus sister's eyes are blister...
THE HIGH STREET never looked so low...
It's the blind leading the blond...
It's the cops collecting for the cons...
So where is the hope and where is the faith...
And the love ?
What's that you say to me,
Does love... Light up your Christmas tree ?
The next minute you're blowing a fuse,
And the cartoon network turns into the news...
HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS,
AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN,
AND IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS...
WHERE DO WE GO...
Jesus never let me down,
You know Jesus used to show me the score...
Then they put Jesus in show business,
Now it's hard to get in the door...
It's the stuff it's the stuff of country songs,
But I guess it was something to go on...
HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS,
I SURE COULD USE THEM HERE RIGHT NOW,
WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS...
WHERE DO WE GO...
(Scat singing)
Staring At The Sun - (4:37)
SUMMER stretching on the grass...
Summer dresses pass,
In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me,
Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue...
It's going to get stickier too...
It's been a long hot summer,
Let's go undercover,
Don't try too hard to think...
Don't think at all...
I'm not the only one starin' at the sun,
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside...
Not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun,
Not the only one who's happy to go blind...
There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear,
It's gonna itch and burn and sting...
Do you want to see what the scratching brings ?
Waves that leave me out of reach,
Breaking on your back like a beach...
Will we ever live in peace ?
'Cause those that can't do often have to,
Those that can't do often have to...
Preach...
To the ones staring at the sun...
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside...
Not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun...
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind...
Intransigence is all around...
Military is still in town,
Armour plated suits and ties...
Daddy just won't say goodbye,
Referee won't blow the whistle,
God is good but will HE listen ?
I'm nearly great,
But there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free,
Though you never really belonged to me...
You're not the only one staring at the sun,
Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside...
I'm not sucking my thumb,
I'm staring at the sun...
Not the only one who's happy to go blind...
Last Night On Earth - (4:46)
She feels the ground is giving way
BUT she thinks WE'RE better off that way
"The more you take the less you feel,
The less you know the more you believe,
The more you have the more it takes today"...
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
She DOESN'T CARE WHAT IT'S worth,
SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH...
She's not waiting on a saviour to come,
She's at a bus-stop with the NEWS OF THE WORLD...
AND THE sun sun here it comes,
She's not waiting for anyone...
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
She knows just what it's worth,
SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH...
Slipping away... slip slide... The clock tells her that time is slipping... The world turns and we get dizzy, Minute hands and second sticking... Slipping away... There's something going on she, Might be missing... The world turns and we get dizzy... Is it spinning for you the way it's Spinning for me ?
She's living living next week now,
You know she's going to pay it back somehow...
The future is here at last,
The past is too uncomfortable...
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY
She ALREADY knows that hurts,
SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH...
Last NIGHT ON EARTH...
LAST NIGHT ON EARTH...
Gone - (4:27)
You get to feel so guilty got so much for so little,
Then you find that feeling just won't go away...
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly,
'Till there's nothing left for you anyway...
GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS,
I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN,
ANDNOTCOMINGDOWN... IMNOTCOMINGDOWN...
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN...
You wanted to get somewhere so badly,
You had to loose yourself along the way...
You change a name but that's okay... it's necessary...
And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway...
GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS,
I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN,
ANDNOTCOMINGDOWN... IMNOTCOMINGDOWN...
IMNOTCOMINGDOWN...
AND I'M ALREADY GONE,
FELT that way all along,
Closer to you every day,
Didn't want it that much anyway...
You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy,
Then you get to like the way it feels,
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover...
Then you discover...
What you thought was freedom is just greed...
Goodbye... no emotional goodnight...
I'll be up WITH the sun
Are you still holding on ?
I'm not coming down...
I'm not coming down...
Miami - (4:53)
Weather 'round here choppin' and changin',
Surgery in the air...
Print shirts and southern accents,
Cigars and big hair...
We got the wheels and petrol is cheap,
Only went there for a week...
Got the sun got the sand,
Got the batteries in the handycam...
Her eyes all swimming pool blue,
Dumb bells on a diving board...
Baby's always attracted to the things she's afraid of...
Big girl with the sweet tooth,
Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot...
Freshmen squeaky clean,
She tastes of chlorine...
MIAMI MY MAMMY
Love the movies...
Love to walk those movie sets...
Get to shoot someone in the foot,
Get to smoke some cigarettes...
No big deal we know the score,
Just back from the video store...
Got the car and the car chase,
What's he got inside the case...
I want a close up of that face,
Here comes the car chase...
MIAMI MY MAMMY
MIAMI
I bought two new suits... Miami...
Pink aND BLUE... MIAMI...
I TOOK A PICTURE OF YOU... Miami
Getting hot in a photo booth... Miami...
I said you looked like a madonna,
You said... Maybe...
Said I want to have your baby... BABY...
WE COULD MAKE something beautiful,
Something that wouldn't be a problem,
At least not in... Miami...
Some places are like your auntie,
But there's no place like...
MIAMI MY MAMMY
The Playboy Mansion - (4:41)
If Coke is a mystery,
And Michael Jackson... History...
If beauty is truth,
And surgery the fountain of youth...
What am I to do ?
Have I got the gift to get me through
The gates of that mansion ?
If OJ is more than a drink,
And a Big Mac bigger than you think...
If perfume is an obsession,
Then talk shows... confession...
What have we got to lose ?
Another push and maybe we'll be through
The gates of that mansion...
I never bought a lotto ticket,
I never parked in anyone's space,
And the banks feel like cathedrals,
I guess casinos took their place...
LOVE 'COME ON DOWN'...
Don't wake her she'll come around...
Chance is a kind of religion,
Where you're damned for plain hard luck...
I never did see that movie,
And I never did read that book...
Love come on down...
Let my numbers come around...
Don't know if I can hold on,
Don't know if I'm that strong,
Don't know if I can wait that long,
'Til the colors come flashing,
And the lights go on...
Then will there be no time of sorrow,
Then will there be no time for shame,
And though I can't say why,
I know I've got to believe...
We'll go driving in their pool,
It's who you know that gets you through,
The gates of the Playboy Mansion...
The Playboy Mansion,
The Playboy Mansion...
Then will there be no time of sorrow...
Then will there be no time for pain...
Then will there be no time of sorrow...
Then will there be no time for shame...
If You Wear That Velvet Dress - (5:15)
Tonight the moon is playing tricks again,
Feeling sea sick again...
And the whole world could just dissolve...
Into a glass of water...
I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to,
do you really want me to be blue as you...
It's her daylight that gets me through...
We've been here before...
Last time you scratched at my door...
The moon was naked and cold I was like a two year old,
Who just wanted more...
If you wear that velvet dress...
If you wear that velvet dress...
Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains,
It's a private show no one else going to know...
I'm wanting...
Sunlight sunlight fills my room,
It's sharp and it's clear,
But nothing at all like the moon...
It's okay... the struggle for things not to say,
I never listened to you anyway,
And I got my own hands to pray...
But if you wear that velvet dress...
But if you wear that velvet dress...
Tonight the moon is a mirrorball,
Light flickers from across the hall,
Who'll catch the star when it falls...
If you wear that velvet dress...
Please - (5:02)
So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace,
And you never felt wanted 'till you had someone slap your face,
So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away...
You had to win,
You couldn't just pass,
The smartest ass,
At the top of the class...
Your flying colours,
Your family tree,
And all your lessons in history...
Please... please... please get up off your knees...
Please... please... leave me out of this... please...
So you never knew how long you'd stoop to make that call,
And you never knew what was on the ground 'till they made you crawl,
So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole...
Your catholic blues,
Your convent shoes,
Your stick on tattoos,
Now they're making the news...
Your holy war,
Your northern star,
Your sermon on the mount,
From the boot of your car...
Please... please... please get up off your knees...
Please... please... leave me out of this... please...
So love is hard and love is tough,
But love is not what you're thinking of...
September... streets capsizing... spilling over, down the drain
... shards of glass splinters like rain but you could only feel your own pain...
October... talking getting nowhere... November... December... remember...
Are we just starting again... ?
Please... please... please get up off your knees...
Please... please... please...
So love is big bigger than us,
But love is not what you're thinking of...
IT'S what lovers deal it's what lovers steal,
You know I've found it hard to recieve,
'Cause you my love I could never believe...
Wake Up Dead Man - (4:52)
Jesus, Jesus help me...
I'm alone in this world,
And a fucked up world it is too...
Tell me, tell me the story,
The one about eternity,
And the way it's all gonna be...
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN...
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN...
Jesus, I'm waiting here boss...
I know you're looking out for us,
But maybe your hands aren't free...
Your Father, He made the world in seven,
He's in charge of Heaven,
Will you put in a word for me...
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN...
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN...
Listen to your words they'll tell you what to do,
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you,
Listen to the reed in the saxophone,
Listen over the hum in the radio,
Listen over sounds of blades in rotation,
Listen through the traffic and circulation,
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme,
Listen over marching bands playing out their time...
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN...
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN...
Jesus, were you just around the corner ?
Did You think to try and warn her ?
Or are you working on something new ?
If there's an order in all of this disorder,
Is it like a tape recorder ?
Can we rewind it just once more...
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN...
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN...
