MELODY MAKER: "I Verve tornano sotto i riflettori ancora più arrabbiati... e durante 'Come On', Richard sbatte a terra il microfono... mentre le luci di Wigan splendevano sopra di lui... non un 'cerchio perfetto', ma un concerto perfetto"
Why don't you shut the door, and close the curtains, cos you're not going anywhere. He's coming up the stairs, and in a moment he'll want to see your underwear.
You couldn't stop it now. There's no way to get out. He's standing far too near. How the hell did you get here. Semi-naked in somebody else's room. I'd give my whole life to see it. Just you, stood there, only in your underwear.
If fashion is your trade, then when you're naked, I guess you must be unemployed yeah. Cos once it's underway, there's no escaping, the fact that you're a girl and he's a boy.
You couldn't stop it now. There's no way to get out. He's standing far too near. How the hell did you get here. Semi-naked in somebody else's room. I'd give my whole life to see it. Just you, stood there, only in your underwear.
If you close your eyes and just remember, that this is what you wanted last night. So why is it so hard for you to touch him. For you to go and give yourself to him?
I couldn't stop it now. There's no way to get out. He's standing far too near. How the hell did you get here, semi-naked in somebody else's room. I'd give my whole life to see it. Just you, stood there, only in your underwear.
Do, do do do do. Do, do. Do, do. Do, do, do, do, do. Do, do. Do, do.
Oh yeh,
I want to see you. Want to see you standing in your underwear.
The trouble with your brother, he's always sleeping with your mother. And I know that your sister missed her time again this month. Am I talking too fast or are you just playing dumb? If you want I can write it down. It should matter to you, cos aren't you the one, with your razzmatazz and the nights on the town?
Oh you knew it, and you blew it didn't you babe? I was lying when I asked you to stay. Now no-one's gonna care, if you don't call them when you said. And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed. And all those stupid little things, they ain't working, no they ain't working any more.
You started getting fatter, three weeks after I left you. And now you're going with some kid who looks like some bad comedian. Are you gonna go out? Or are you sitting at home eating boxes of Milk Tray? Watch TV on your own, aren't you the one, with your razzmatazz and your nights on the town?
And your father wants to help you doesn't he babe? But your mother wants to put you away. Now no-one's gonna care, if you don't call them when you said. And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed. And all those stupid little things, they ain't working, no they ain't working any more.
Oh well I saw you at the doctor's, waiting for a test. You tried to look like some kind of heiress, but your face is such a mess. And now you're going to a party, and you're leaving on your own. Well, I'm sorry, but didn't you say, that things go better with a little bit of razzamatazz?
And now no-one's gonna care, if you don't call them when you said. And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed. Now it's half past ten in the evening, and you wish that you were dead, cos all those stupid little things, they ain't working, no they ain't working any more.
I’m in to myself On uncertain terms I put gin in my milk To kill all the germs As I pray for the day That life will return And I pray for myself But I never learn No I never learn
See I really like you But I’m nothing like you I try oh so hard But don’t get so far You get my respect But we don’t connect Were in it together So I’ll love you forever I love you forever
And so it rains on No one gives a fuck about the values I would die for Not the faceless civil servants The rudimentary crack whore No one gives two fucks about the values I would kill for Give them something to die for Give me something to die for
You won’t really see me I live in old movies Cloaked tightly in sin So they won’t come in
Its like spying on cities Through cracks in the floor Thought I knew what the blag was But now I’m not sure What do I know anymore?
And no one gives a fuck About the values I would die for Not the baseist civil servant The rudimentary crack whore And no one gives two fucks About the values I could kill for Give them something to die for Give me something to die for
Still I’m into myself On uncertain terms. I put gin in my milk It kills all the germs As I pray for the day That life will return And I pray for myself But I never learn No I’ll never learn
No one gives a fuck About the values I would die for Not the faceless civil servant A rudimentary crack whore No one gives two fucks About the values I would kill for Give me something to die for Give me something to die for
No one’s too perturbed About the things that I would cry for I’ve been trying all my life Until there’s nothing left to try for No one’s too perturbed About the things that I would live for Give me something to try for Give me something to try for
I've been told if you want to make it in this game You got to have the luck You got to have the look
To make what I quite like to make it through the night My heart beats slow fast, I dont feel right With a sleight of hand I might die What about you over there? Don't you think I care?

But my heart has gone astray I watched friendship slip away But it wasn't s'posed to be that way I lived my dreams today I lived it yesterday And I'll be living yours tomorrow Anything else to say? I lived my dream today I lived it yesterday And I'll be living yours tomorrow So don't look at me that way! What's about you man, Nancy my dear What's about you man, Nancy my dear What's about you man, Nancy my dear
What will you do when she comes here? Oh she'll kill me Oh, I don't wanna kill me And to the man who would be king I would say only one thing And to the man who would be king I would say only one thing la la la-la-la-laa la la la-la-la-laa
Perish the day when they heed what you say They'll take you away if they don't like what you say They don't like what you say
So what's the use between death and glory? I can't tell between death and glory. Happy endings, no they never bore me. Happy endings, they still don't bore me. but they, they have a way, A way to make you pay. And to make you tow the line. Though I sever my ties. Because I'm so clever, But clever ain't wise.
And fuck forever, If you don't mind. Oh, fuck forever, If you don't mind, don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind.
So what's the use between death and glory? I can't tell between death and glory. New Labour and Tory, Purgatory and the happy family.
One and the same, One and the same, No, it's not the same. It's not supposed to be the same.
You know about that way, The way they'll make you pay, And, the way, they make, you tow the line. I'll sever my ties. Oh I'm so clever, You're so clever, but you're not very nice.
So fuck forever, If you don't mind, Oh, I'm stuck forever, In your mind, your mind, your mind.
Go ahead and know about that way To make you feel anxious and make you pay. Annnnnnnd... To make you tow the line, line. I sever my ties, Oh and I'll never, Sever the ties,
And fuck forever, If you don't mind, See I'm stuck forever I'm stuck in your mind, your mind, your mind, your mind.
They'll never play this on the radio, No, They'll never play this on the radio.
Her green plastic watering can For her fake chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth. That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself. It wears her out, it wears her out.
She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns. He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins. And it wears him out, it wears him out. It wears him out, it wears him out.
She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love. But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run. And it wears me out, it wears me out. It wears me out, it wears me out.
And if I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted All the time, all the time.
Sometimes I feel like I don't know Sometimes I feel like checkin' out I want to get it wrong Can't always be strong And love it won't be long...
Oh sugar, don't you cry Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes You know I need you to be strong And the day is as dark as the night is long Feel like trash, you make me feel clean I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby...light my way (oh, come on) Baby, baby, baby...light my way
You bury your treasure Where it can't be found But your love is like a secret That's been passed around There is a silence that comes to a house Where no one can sleep I guess it's the price of love I know it's not cheap
(oh, come on) Baby, baby, baby...light my way Baby, baby, baby...light my way
I remember when we could sleep on stones Now we lie together In whispers and moans When I was all messed up And I had opera in my head Your love was a light bulb Hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby...light my way Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Love is blindness I don't wanna see Won't you wrap the night Around me? Oh my heart Love is blindness In a parked car In a crowded street You see your love Made complete Thread is ripping The knot is slipping Love is blindness
Love is clockworks And cold steel Fingers too numb to feel Squeeze the handle Blow out the candle Love is blindness
Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me? Oh my love Blindness
A little death Without mourning No call And no warning Baby, a dangerous idea That almost makes sense
Love is drowning In a deep well All the secrets And no one to tell Take the money Honey Blindness
Love is blindness I don't want to see Won't you wrap the night Around me? Oh my love Blindness
Love Is Blindness + Can't Help Falling In Love (U2)

And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten-ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight Take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care, I don't care And in the darkened underpass I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last (But then a strange fear gripped me and I Just couldn't ask)
Take me out tonight Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care, I don't care Driving in your car I never never want to go home Because I haven't got one, Oh, I haven't got one

Don't know what you got till it's gone no Don't know what it is I did so wrong Now I know what I got It's just this song And it ain't easy to get back Takes so long
Waiting at the station Tears filling up my eyes Sometimes the pain you hide Burns like a fire inside Look out my window Sometimes it's hard to see The things you want in life Come and go so easily
She took the last train out of my heart ooo, ooo She took the last train And now I think I'll make a brand new start She took the last train out of my heart
Watching the days go by Thinking 'bout the plans we made The days turn into years Funny how they fade away Sometimes I think of those days Sometimes I just hide away Waiting on that 9:20 train Waiting on a memory
She took the last train out of my heart ooo, ooo She took the last train And now I think I'll make a brand new start She took the last train out of my heart
My lady's on the fly and she's never coming back My love is like a steam train rolling down the tracks yea, yea
She took the last train out of my heart ooo, ooo She took the last train And now I think I'll make a brand new start She took the last train out of my heart
She took the last train ooo, out of my heart She took the last train And now I think I'll make a new start Last train out of my heart
Vanno vengono ogni tanto si fermano e quando si fermano sono nere come il corvo sembra che ti guardano con malocchio
Certe volte sono bianche e corrono e prendono la forma dell’airone o della pecora o di qualche altra bestia ma questo lo vedono meglio i bambini che giocano a corrergli dietro per tanti metri
Certe volte ti avvisano con rumore prima di arrivare e la terra si trema e gli animali si stanno zitti certe volte ti avvisano con rumore
Vanno vengono ritornano e magari si fermano tanti giorni che non vedi più il sole e le stelle e ti sembra di non conoscere più il posto dove stai
Vanno vengono per una vera mille sono finte e si mettono li tra noi e il cielo per lasciarci soltanto una voglia di pioggia
I barboni mi guardano mentre mastico la lucertola anche oggi è domenica tutta d'oro la gente luccica mentre osserva le anatre inventandosi la felicità la sorvolo e capisco che maledice la mia diversità ma nel parco ci abito è la vita mia esser simbolo di paura e di morte, sono tenebre i miei abiti
I bambini sorridono "mamma guardalo, che bestiaccia è?" gli alberi mi consolano apro le ali e resto immobile gli studenti li evito preferisco le ricche vedove con gli anelli di platino sono un ladro ma fine gentleman
Io sono il corvo Joe faccio spavento state attenti lasciatemi stare solo certi poeti del male mi sanno cantare!
I borghesi si siedono e poi leggono il giornale i ragazzi si baciano, mezzogiorno sta per scoccare senza grazia e gracchiando mi avvicino e poi li supplico se soltanto per oggi fossi libero di parlare "piacere: corvo joe, c'è da mangiare? solo sassi sapete lanciare meritate di andare per me nell'eterno dolore"
Io sono il corvo Joe faccio paura state attenti lasciatemi stare solo certi poeti del male mi sanno cantare! Ma vi perdono perchè in fondo portate nel cuore sangue che è destinato a seccare vivete a morire
There's a song playing on the radio Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays And as I open the blinds in my mind I'm believing that you could stay
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fields away We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun Oh if you stay We'll be the wild ones, running with the dogs today
There's a song playing through another wall All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day Cos on you my tattoo will be bleeding and the name will stain
But oh if you stay we'll ride from disguised suburban graves We'll go from the bungalows where the debts still grow each day
And oh if you stay I'll chase the rainblown fears away We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun oh if you stay We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today

Socrates ain’t got nothing on me when it comes to overthinking Paranoid that’s how I prefer to be into the ground I’m sinking Then you call And you say To me in your ordinary way That you can’t Help me out Of the ordinary

Transport, motorways and tramlines Starting and then stopping Taking off and landing The emptiest of feelings Disappointed people clinging on to bottles And when it comes it's so so disappointing
Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around
Shell smashed, juices flowing Wings twitch, legs are going Don't get sentimental It always ends up drivel
One day I'm going to grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and...
Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around
Let down again Let down again Let down again
You know, you know where you are with You know where you are with Floor collapsing Floating, bouncing back And one day....
By starlight I'll kiss you And promise to be your one and only I'll make you feel happy And leave you to be lost in mine And where will we go, what will we do? Soon said I, will know Dead eyes, are you just like me? Cause her eyes were as vacant as the seas Dead eyes, are you just like me? And all along, we knew we'd carry on Just to belong By starlight I know you As lovely as a wish granted true My life has been empty, my life has been untrue And does she really know, who I really am? Does she really know me at last Dead eyes, are you just like me?
can't sleep tonight Everybody saying everything's alright Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Found on:
The Man Who Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself I'm being held up by an invisible man Still life on a shelf when I got my mind on something else
Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go? And why is it raining so? It's so cold I can't sleep tonight Everybody's saying everything's all right Still I can't close my eyes I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights
Sunny days Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest From all the unborn chicken voices in my head What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
When I am king, you will be first against the wall with your opinion which is of no consequence at all What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android) What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly Kicking, screaming gucci little piggy You don't remember You don't remember Why don't you remember my name? Off with his head, man Off with his head, man Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does...

When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all I'm on your side When times get rough And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine When you need a friend I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, Such are promises, all lies and jest, Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest, hmmmm
When I left my home and my family, I's no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared, laying low, Seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go, Looking for the places only they would know.
Li la li...
Asking only workman's wages, I come lookin' for a job, But I get no offers, Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue. I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there.
La la la...
And I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone, goin' home Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me, leadin' me, goin' home.
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him 'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains.
You've been lying in bed for a week now Wondering how long it'll take You haven't spoken or looked at her in all that time For that was the easiest line you could break
She's been going round her business as usual Always with that melancholic smile But you were too busy looking into your affairs To see those tiny tears in her eyes
Tiny tears make up an ocean Tiny tears make up a sea Let them pour out, pour out all over Don't let them pour all over me
How can you hurt someone so much you're supposed to care for Someone you said you'd always be there for But when that water breaks you know you're gonna cry, cry When those tears start rolling you'll be back
Tiny tears make up an ocean Tiny tears make up a sea Let them pour out, pour out all over Don't let them pour all over me
You've been thinking about the time, you've been dreading it But now it seems that moment has arrived She's at the edge of the bed, she gets in But it's hard to turn the opposite way tonight
Tiny tears make up an ocean Tiny tears make up a sea Let them pour out, pour out all over Don't let them pour all over me
I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the lord but you don't really care for music, do you well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth the minor fall and the major lift the baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof you saw her bathing on the roof her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you she tied you to her kitchen chair she broke your throne and she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch but love is not a victory march it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Well there was a time when you let me know what's really going on below but now you never show that to me do you but remember when I moved in you and the holy dove was moving too and every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Well, maybe there's a god above but all I've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you it's not a cry that you hear at night it's not somebody who's seen the light it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'Til your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your isle And you sang Sail to me Sail to me Let me enfold you Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you hare when I was fox? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks, For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow: O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"
I am puzzled as the newborn child I am troubled at the tide: Should I stand amid the breakers? Should I lie with Death my bride? Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you: Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you
Song To The Siren (Tim Buckley)
On video, Song To The Siren, This Mortal Coil cover version.
"You know who I am," he said The speaker was an angel He coughed and shook his crumpled wings Closed his eyes and moved his lips "It's time we should be going"
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, driven by the night Till you come (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, see it in my eyes Till you come
No one seemed to hear him So he leafed through a magazine And, yawning, rubbed the sleep away Very sane he seemed to me
(Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, driven by the night Till you come (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) Look back in anger, feel it in my voice Till you come
(Waiting so long, ahhh...) (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) (Waiting so long, I've been waiting so, waiting so) (Waiting so long, ahhh...)
I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here Are you my destiny? Is this how you'll appear? Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes? Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
As you've been moving surely toward me My soul has comforted and assured me That in time my heart it will reward me And that all will be revealed So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built Out of longing great wonders have been willed They're only little tears, darling, let them spill And lay your head upon my shoulder Outside my window the world has gone to war Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
O we will know, won't we? The stars will explode in the sky O but they don't, do they? Stars have their moment and then they die
There's a man who spoke wonders though I've never met him He said, "He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in" I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting And how every little thing anticipates you All down my veins my heart-strings call Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
All the towers of ivory are crumbling And the swallows have sharpened their beaks This is the time of our great undoing This is the time that I'll come running Straight to you For I am captured Straight to you For I am captured One more time
The light in our window is fading The candle gutters on the ledge Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running Straight to you For I am captured Straight to you For I am captured Once again
Gone are the days of rainbows Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars For the sea will swallow up the mountains And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks Straight at you But I'll come a-running Straight to you But I'll come a-running One more time
Heaven has denied us its kingdom The saints are drunk howling at the moon The chariots of angels are colliding Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running Straight to you For I am captured Straight to you For I am captured One more time
Get down, get down, little Henry Lee And stay all night with me You won't find a girl in this damn world That will compare with me And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee I can't get down and I won't get down And stay all night with thee For the girl I have in that merry green land I love far better than thee And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee She leaned herself against a fence Just for a kiss or two And with a little pen-knife held in her hand She plugged him through and through And the wind did roar and the wind did moan La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee Come take him by his lilly-white hands Come take him by his feet And throw him in this deep deep well Which is more than one hundred feet And the wind did howl and the wind did blow La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee Till the flesh drops from your bones For the girl you have in that merry green land Can wait forever for you to come home And the wind did howl and the wind did moan La la la la la La la la la lee A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Do you remember a guy thats been In such an early song I've heard a rumour from ground control Oh no, dont say its true

The shrieking of nothing is killing Just pictures of jap girls in synthesis and I Aint got no money and I aint got no hair But I'm hoping to kick but the planet its glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know major toms a junkie Strung out in heavens high Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself I'll stay clean tonight But the little green wheels are following me Oh no, not again I'm stuck with a valuable friend I'm happy, hope you're happy too One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things I never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh Want an axe to break the ice Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know major toms a junkie Strung out in heavens high Hitting an all-time low
My mother said to get things done Youd better not mess with major Tom My mother said to get things done Youd better not mess with major Tom My mother said to get things done Youd better not mess with major Tom My mother said to get things done Youd better not mess with major Tom
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago, Turned around backwards so the windshield shows. Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse. Still, it's so much clearer. I forgot my shirt at the water's edge. The moon is low tonight.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night. I'm not sure all these people understand. It's not like years ago, The fear of getting caught, Of recklessness and water. They cannot see me naked. These things, they go away, Replaced by everyday.
Nightswimming, remembering that night. September's coming soon. I'm pining for the moon. And what if there were two Side by side in orbit Around the fairest sun? That bright, tight forever drum Could not describe nightswimming.
You, I thought I knew you. You I cannot judge. You, I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly underneath my breath. Nightswimming.
The photograph reflects, Every streetlight a reminder. Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night.
Excuse me but can I be you for a while My dog won't bite if you sit real still I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again Yeah I can hear that Been saved again by the garbage truck I got something to say you know But nothing comes Yes I know what you think of me You never shut-up Yeah I can hear that
But what if I'm a mermaid In these jeans of his With her name still on it Hey but I don't care Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice And it's been here Silent All These Years
[So you found a girl Who thinks really deep thougts What's so amazing about really deep thoughts Boy you best praya that I bleed real soon How's that thought for you My scream got lost in a paper cup You think there's a heaven Where some screams have gone I got 25 bucks and a cracker Do you think it's enough To get us there
Cause what if I'm a mermaid In these jeans of his With her name still on it Hey but I don't care Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice And it's been here Silent All These...]
Years go by Will I still be waiting For somebody else to understand Years go by If I'm stripped of my beauty And the orange clouds Raining in head Years go by Will I choke on my tears Till finally there is nothing left One more casualty You know we're too easy Easy Easy
Well I love the way we communicate Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape Let's hear what you think of me now But baby don't look up The sky is falling Your mother shows up in a nasty dress It's your turn now to stand where I stand Everybody lookin' at you here Take hold of my hand Yeah I can hear them
But what if I'm a mermaid In these jeans of his With her name still on it Hey but I don't care Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice I hear my voice I hear my voice
And it's been here Silent All These Years I've been here Silent All These Years
Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert happening this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades. You can all dial in if you want to answer a couple of questions, namely, what is Todd's favourite cheese. Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort. We'll see about that...
Give us a ring-ding-ding! It's a beautiful day.
Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-a-dinging, want those three Bran Van tickets man. Waddya think? Todd, you there?
I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes, When Mike came over with a script surprise. A Mafioso story with a twist, A "Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hitch, Get your ass out of bed, he said: I'll explain it on the way.
But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day, and I say: What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26? I got the fever for the flavour, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us, As we rode on the ten down to Venice again. Flaring out the G-Funk, Sipping on a juice and gin, Just me and a friend. Feeling kinda groovy, Working on a movie. (Yeah right!)
But we did nothing, absolutely butkis that day, and I say: What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
With my mind on my money and my money on my... Beer, beer!
I know that life is for the taking, so I better wise up, and take it quick.
Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic's.
Some men there wanted to hurt us, And other men said we weren't worth the fuss. We could see them all bitching by the bar, About the fine line, between the rich and the poor. Then Mike turned to me and said: "What do you think we got done son?"
We've found a conclusion, and I guess that's something, so I ask you: What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26? I got the fever for the nectar, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
We need to fix you up, call me Monday and maybe we'll fix it all up.
Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.! ...
So I ask you: What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
"I think it's dark and it looks like rain" You said "And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world" You said "And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead" And then you smiled for a second "I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain" You said "And it's all running out like it's the end of the world" You said "And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead" And then you smiled for a second
Sometimes you make me feel Like I'm living at the edge of the world Like I'm living at the edge of the world "It's just the way I smile" You said
Oh I miss the kiss of treachery the shameless kiss of vanity the soft and the black and the velvety up tight against the side of me and mouth and eyes and heart all bleed and run in thickening streams of greed as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece
Oh I miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss before I feed the stench of a love for a younger meat and the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep the holding up on bended knees the addiction of duplicities as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece
I never said I would stay to the end so I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs pictures of trickery stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery songs about happiness murmured in dreams when we both us knew how the ending would be...
So it's all come back round to breaking apart again breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again making it up behind my back again holding my breath for the fear of sleep again holding it up behind my head again cut in deep to the heart of the bone again round and round and round and it's coming apart again over and over and over
Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone crying for sympathy crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone dropping through sky through the glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth through the mouth of your eye through the eye of the needle it's easier for me to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again
I never said I would stay to the end I knew I would leave you with babies and everything screaming like this in whole of sincerity screaming it over and over and over I leave you with photographs pictures of trickery stains on the carpet stains on the memory songs about happiness murmured in dreams when we both of us knew how the end always is
I don't care if Monday's blue Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too Thursday I don't care about you It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart Oh, Thursday doesn't even start It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday, wait And Sunday always comes too late But Friday, never hesitate...
I don't care if Mondays black Tuesday, Wednesday - heart attack Thursday, never looking back It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday, you can hold your head Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed Or Thursday - watch the walls instead It's Friday, I'm in love
Saturday, wait And Sunday always comes too late But Friday, never hesitate...
Dressed up to the eyes It's a wonderful surprise To see your shoes and your spirits rise Throwing out your frown And just smiling at the sound And as sleek as a shriek Spinning round and round Always take a big bite It's such a gorgeous sight To see you eat in the middle of the night You can never get enough Enough of this stuff It's Friday, I'm in love
I don't care if Monday's blue Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too Thursday I don't care about you It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart Thursday doesn't even start It's Friday I'm in love
