- Angel
She comes home to me after a hard night's work
Falls into my arms and sleeps like a bird
And startled, wakes up, like she don't know me
Draws her arm back like she's going to slug me
Who are you anyway, and what are you doing to me?
She's an angel, but she can't feel it
She got wings, she can't see 'em
- Bad
We met, we smiled
I put my arm around you
The camera flashed and it was over
My face was flushed
You turned and walked away
But in my pocket was your number
And I'm thinking
- Blocking Brainwaves
Do you want to be happy?
Do you want to have fun?
Take on buried treasure
I could be the one...
Hear me, out here... hear me, out.
I can't describe
Just can't subscribe
I'm telling vision
- Call 911
The sun no longer shines on your side
Remember this cold
When the fog won, lift in your town
And you turn old
I heard you killed your only friend last year
You such a disease
You can buy your other friends
But you can buy me
- Civilized Man
There are walls just to get to you
You can hit me if you don't mind black and blue
You set me up
Not gonna fall
Run away
Went to sleep a long time ago
Several years since I hurt anybody
- David Letterman
Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favorite t.v. personality?
Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,
five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman...
I know he knows you look up to him,
but you don't visit his sleep,
- Every Man Thinks God Is On His Side
Every mornin'
Under the big yellow sun
A boy named Pedro
He's the lucky one
Can't read or write
Never been to school
Pedro picks coffee in Brazil
He no fool
- Finer Than Gold
I forgot what you looked like
I forgot your skin
I wanted to stand up
and make you a mountain.
I wanted to gather,
some stars in my hand.
And drop them before you,
like they were sand.
- For What I Need
I'm goin' swimmin' now
Get up your stream, baby
Gonna get wet yeah
For what I need
What I need
Is you baby
- German, Jewish.
I'm German, you're Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I've got this problem, that seems to linger
Everytime I find myself around your finger.
This would make more sence, in another time
Not in America where we're westernized.
But if we were, what would I do
What would I have said to what we've gone through?
- Good Night Sweet Girl
Are we done for now?
Or is this for good?
Will there be something in time?
With us there should
Only girl for me is you
There can be no other one
If I didn't have faith
I would come undone
- Goodbye
I don't care what people're gonna say about it
I'd just wanna sit here and drink your sweet wine
Know you're gonna say you're too young for me but
Maybe if I kiss you that would be fine
Know how it's gonna end before it ever starts now
Gonna give me love sweeter than pie
Part your lips as if you're gonna kiss me
- If this is love
If this is love
Why are you standing there
Across a room looking away
I've loved you since i met you
time ago...
If this is love
Why won't you look at me
- Liar
Lyrics by Charlie DeMars
I don't mean to sound mean when
I talk about the day
I believed every single word she'd say, but, things changed like she'd changed
Something's not the same
Found the things she said, did you?... were never true 'cause
She's a liar
Who won't expire
- Looking At You
Every day I take you
dancing in the garden
you could be my woman
that would be fine
if you'd be my baby
I would drive you crazy
every night and day
all of the time
- Moonshot
Down, I'm falling down
Want you to catch me
But you're not here around
If you'd come around
I know you could save me
With the touch of your soft hand
- No Promises
Hope I meet you on a good day
When I'm feeling all myself
Don't be startled if I runaway
Especially if you smile and really ring my bell
Hope you take it in a good way
When I show myself to you
I wouldn't worry about it anyway
I have soft skin and scars are nothing new
- Patricia
She has a piano
And her hands dance lustily on the keys.
She has a pen and a paper,
And she draws her favourite people and one is me.
She wasn't supposed to be cool,
Now I'm her fool, but I don't care.
She's given me a passkey that has led me
- Smile
In, I'm falling in
I didn't want to
Not so fast, boy
Slow,
Don't wanna hurt the girl
Give her a pretty box
You better feel it
And I get blinded when she opens the door
- Valerie
Got an old Smiths' record
and I put it on endlessly.
To mourn a lethal fascination
of a girl named Valerie.
She got a XXX rating
and maybe someday she'd have married me.
But, she was born to keep me waiting.
- Vehicles Shock Me
So you caught me all alone
Did you think I'd care at all
Now I'm sitting by the phone
Waiting for you to call
It rang a million times
Before I picked it up
I wear a stupid smile
Saying that I'm stuck
- When I Was A Baby
When I was a baby
mama called my name
said baby baby
baby James
you'll sing the blues
you'll sing the blues
I hex you
whoa whoa whoa yeah
