"The Thrill Of The Grill"

"The Thrill Of The Grill"


She works real hard in an all night café
She says she loves her job
Wouldn't have it any other way

And he walks in wearin' cheap cologne
She says, "I'll take off early
If you'll take me home"

And he says
"Come on, honey, say you will
Jump on into my Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill"

His hair was slick and he was slicker
His touch was radioactive
And it made her shiver
And when he emptied his pockets
They were filled with champagne
He held out his hand
As he called out her name

And he said,
"Come on honey say you will
Jump on into my Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill"

Sideways, oh my God, I'm sideways
Half-crazed, I said I'm dizzy
Dazed and waylayed

The boss said, "Phyllis have you gone mad
Hon, you're the best short order that I ever had
Don't throw it all away on a one night fling
Ah, don't be a fool for a foolish thing"

So she tore off her apron
Threw down the pan
She said, "Buzz it boss
You just don't understand
I've waited all my life
To feel the thrill
To be carried away
On the thrill of the grill"

So come on honey yes I will
I'll jump on into your Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill

Come on honey yes I will
I'll jump on into your Coupe De Ville
There's a Mexico sunset standing still
Fall in love to the thrill of the grill
Let's fall in love to the thrill of the grill

"The Universal Song"

"The Universal Song"


The neon sign lights up the room
She lifts the shade to feel the night
The universal song is playing again

And out across the boulevard
The cafe racers find their mark
Closes the door
She going looking for romance

You find it on the radio
You feel it in the air
The universal song is everywhere
You feel it in a heartbeat
And everyone's the same
The universal song is playing again

She sees his face across the street
He turns his head and looks her way
The universal song is playing again
He lifts her up and whirls her round
It's in the touch
It's in the sound
The universal song is starting to play

You find it on the radio
You feel it in the air
The universal song is everywhere
You feel it in a heartbeat
And everyone's the same
The universal song is playing again

The neon sign lights up the room
She lifts the shade to feel the night
The universal song is playing again

And out across the boulevard
The cafe racers find their mark
Closes the door
She going looking for romance

"To Love Somebody"
(originally by Bee Gees)

"To Love Somebody"
(originally by Bee Gees)



There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring now
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you

Baby, you don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

In my brain
I see your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind, so blind
Don't you know I'm a woman
Can't you see what I am
I live and breathe for you
But what good does it do now
If I ain't got you
If I ain't got you

Baby, you don't know what it's like
Baby, you don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

"Touch And Go"

"Touch And Go"


Sometimes it hurts so much that I wonder
What kind of spell I am under
That makes me feel this way
I know the ways of love aren't easy
You try your best to please me
But I still have to say

You drain my emotion
But I will not let it show
Cause you just want to wind me up
But you cannot stand to watch me go
Why do your reactions always seem so slow
For tonight tonight it could be touch and go

It seems that mothers words still linger
Beware the moving finger
And keep yourself quite pure
In time a man will come and he'll bring
A promise and a ring
But till that day be sure

And hide your emotion
And never let it show
Cause you just want to wind me up
But you cannot stand to watch me go
Why do your reactions always seem so slow
For tonight tonight it could be touch and go
For tonight tonight it could be touch and go

"Tubin'"

"Tubin'"


I could retire on a Caterpillar tire
Somewhere on a river in the great US
The world slidin' by
Every day is July
Just tubin' down the river with my mind at rest

Now man wasn't made to stay locked up in a cage
And workin' all day ain't that much fun to do
It's gonna come to pass
I'll leave the steel and the glass
Floating down the river down the tube with you

Reuben Reuben let's go tubin'
Won't you take me far away
We could live on love forever
And you know that life should be that way

Now maybe tomorrow find some time I can borrow
A dream just needs a window you can climb on through
Don't wanna wake up some day to find that I passed away
Before I floated on a river down the tube with you

Floatin' down the river got my mind at rest
Down a lazy river now I'm living' my best
Sunshine on a river down the tube with you

"Under My Thumb"

"Under My Thumb"


Under my thumb
Is the guy who once had me down
Under my thumb
Is the man who once pushed me around

It's down to me
Yes it is
The way he does just what he's told
Down to me, the change has come

He's under my thumb
Under my thumb
The squirmin' dog who's just had his day
Under my thumb

Is the guy has just changed his ways
It's down to me, yes it is
The way he speaks when he's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come

He's under mu thumb
Under my thumb
Is the man who once pushed me around
It's down to me

Yes it is
The way he does just what he's told
Down to me, the change has come
He's under my thumb

Under my thumb
Is the guy who once had me down
Under my thumb
Is the man who once pushed me around

It's down to me
Yes it is
The way he does just what he's told
Down to me, the change has come

He's under my thumb
It's down to me
He's under my thumb

"Undertow"

"Undertow"


Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Can anybody hear me
Does anybody know
Know the way to break out of the undertow

When you need to hear your heartbeat
Just to know that you're alive
When someone's crying help me
You can see it in their eyes
Circumstance is deadly
Too afraid to know
The moment that we wake up
Caught in the undertow

Has anybody seen her
We've searched the city high and low
We've even heard her calling
From a place that no one knows
Listen you can hear her calling
I will never let you go
You're caught in the undertow

Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me

"Voyeur"

"Voyeur"


When voices from the thin walls
Speak of aberrant behavior
And the video (videos)
Her only savior

She turns it on when they're all gone
Then she turns an slips her high heels on
Shadows fill the room
And she starts movin'

Voyeur, voyeurs are ya' hot tonite
Dance, dance, dance
Till it makes ya' feel good
Voyeur, voyeur, who ya' got tonight?
Where love is still alive
It's just locked up inside

Lingerie and loveliness
Still lookin' for a strange and sweet caress
Her love life's hot
But her life's a mess
Says she's got no minor vices
And she makes no excuses
And she concedes
That she's the one she pleases

Voyeur, voyeur are ya' hot tonight
Dance, dance, dance
Till it makes you feel good
Voyeur, voyeur who ya' got tonight?
Where love is still alive
It's just locked up inside

"Waiting For The Pain To Go Away"

"Waiting For The Pain To Go Away"


I'm waiting for the pain to go away
I though maybe that this would be the day
At noon I tried a little smile
Then I sat down and cried a while
Just waiting for the pain to go away

If I could only get you off my mind
But these old memories treat me so unkind
The way you laughed your gentle smile
Still makes me love you oh so much
I know that I can't get you off of my mind

I see happy lovers everywhere I go
Sharing dreams in a world for two
He holds her hand and she holds his
They never know how good love is
We lost the only chance for me and you

So I'm waiting for the pain to go away
But I'm afraid the blues are here to stay
Not many loves like ours around
So easily lost so rarely found
Just waiting for the pain to go away
To go away
