"I'm So Proud"

"I'm So Proud"


Prettier than all the world and I'm so proud
I'm so proud of you
You're only one fellow's girl and I'm so proud
I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you

And it would hurt, hurt to know
If you ever were untrue
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
And I'm so proud girl
I'm so proud of you

Compliments to you from all the people we meet
Yes, and I'm so proud
Believe me, I love you too
I'm so proud of being loved by you

I'm so proud of being loved by you
And it would hurt, hurt to know
If you ever were untrue
Sweeter than the taste of a cherry so sweet
Yeah, and I'm so proud
I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of being loved by you

"I've Got Your Love"

"I've Got Your Love"


I don't need no fortune
I'll tell you the reason why
I've got more than anything
Money can buy
I've got your love love love
That's more than anything
Money can buy

Cause money can't buy that kind of love no

I was lost
I was drifting
That I won't deny
Till you gave your heart to me
Said let's give love a try
I've got your love love love
Here to hold me
Against the tide
Against the tide

You know a man sworn to nothing
Can make you wanna cry
I came to my senses
Baby dry your eyes
I've got your love love love
That's more than anything
Any old anything
Mmmmm

I was lost
I was drifting
That I won't deny
Till you gave your heart to me
Saying let's give love a try
I've got your love love love
Here to hold me
Against the tide
Against the tide
Against the tide

Got love
Got love more than anything
Hey hey hey hey
Money can buy
Hey money can buy

"Illusion"

"Illusion"


All he can do
Is turn the other way
Although he'd love to love you

Your eyes deceive
Your lovers leave
And you go crawling again
Into your shadows and then

Run away
Why don't you just run off
And hide once again
In your damned illusion

Nights so sweet
The perfume beats
Into your veins and then
It's all insane again

Feelings burn
The blues return
Those lips are calling
And you go falling and falling and falling

Run away
Why don't you just run off
And hide once again
In your damned illusion.. yeah

Run away
Why don't you just run off
and hide once again
In your damned illusion

You can run off baby but you know that
You just can't hide no more
From your lowdown ways
Can't get away from your damned illusions
Ooh aint it hard babe just to get through the night
When you can't see the light for your damned illusion

You can run off babe
Once again your fooling around
In your damned illusion.. yeah.. yeah

Once again you will fall into you damned illusion

"Invitation"

"Invitation"


You and your smile
Hold a strange invitation
Somehow it seems
We've shared our dreams
But where...

Time after time
In a room full of strangers
Out of the blue
Suddenly you... are there

Wherever I go
You're the glow of temptation
Glancing my way
In the grey of the dawn

And always your eyes
Smile that strange invitation
When you are gone
Where oh where have you gone

How long must I stay
In a world of illusion
Be where you are
So near yet so far... apart

Hoping you'll say
With a warm invitation
Where have you been
Darling come in... into my heart

[Bridge]

Wherever I go
You're the glow of temptation
Glancing my way
In the grey of the dawn

And always your eyes
Smile that strange invitation
When you are gone
Where oh where have you gone

How long must I stay
In a world of illusion
Be where you are
So near yet so far... apart

Hoping you'll say
With a warm invitation
Where have you been
Darling come in.. into my heart

"Isn't It Time"

"Isn't It Time"


Last time this happened
Thought it wouldn't happen anymore
But that was before
And now once again
As it happens
Well why do I listen anymore
Facing the door
I wonder again

(Isn't it time you got the news)
Isn't it time you knew
(There's someone else up here with you)
There's someone else
And you can trust in me

Think back and remember
All the disappointments you've been through
Well I felt them too
And all I can say
Is crazy stories
Really shouldn't get the best of you
I want you too
So I wouldn't let them

(Isn't it time you got the news)
Isn't it time you knew
(There's someone else up here with you)
There's someone else
And you can trust in me

(Isn't it time you got the news)
Isn't it time you knew
(There's someone else up here with you)
There's someone else with you
(You can trust in me)
Its me

(Isn't it time you got the news)
Isn't it time you knew
(There's someone else up here with you)
(You can trust in me)
You can trust in me.. well

(Isn't it time.. you got the news.. isn't it time)
(Isn't it time.. you got the news.. isn't it time)

"It All Went Down The Drain"

"It All Went Down The Drain"


We had so many good times
And some bad
We shared the happiness
Shared the sad
We suffered all..
All the miseries
Back when I had you girl
You had me
But when you saw something fresh
You wanted next to your pretty little flesh
Like a sewer in the rain
It all went down the drain
You and I

My life is so empty
What can I do
I ain't got nobody hey nobody
To take the place of you
And I'm not so strong
Honey as I used to be
Back when I had you baby
And you had me
Then you saw something fresh
You wanted next to your pretty little flesh
Like a sewer when it rains
It all went down the drain
You and I
You and I

You played the game
Pick and choose
Yesterday I sang a love song baby
Now I'm singing the blues
And I'm not so strong
As I used to be
Back when I had you baby
You had me
But when you saw something fresh
You wanted next to your pretty little flesh
Like the sewer in the rain
It all went down the drain
You and I
For you and I

What can I do
What can I do
To take the place of you
Like a sewer when it rains
You know it all went down the drain
You and I
You and I
Mmmmm you and I

"It's Over"

"It's Over"


(Best of friends never part
Best of fools has love forever
From the bottom of his heart)

So why pretend
This is the end
You'll have to find out for yourself
Go on ask somebody else

Why can't you just get it through your head
It's over it's over now
Yes you heard me clearly now I said
It's over it's over now

I'm not really over you
You might say that
I can't take it I can't take it
Lord I swear I just can't take it no more

(Go away)
Go away
(Far away)
So far away
It's too late to turn back now
And it don't matter anyhow

Cos you were right
I'm to blame
Can't go on the same old way
Can't keep up the same old game

Why can't you just get it through your head
It's over it's over now
Yes you heard me clearly now I said
It's over it's over now

I'm not really over you
You might say that
I can't take it I can't take it
Lord I swear I just can't take it no more

(Why can't you just get it through your head
It's over it's over now)
Yes you heard me clearly now I said
It's O O O O
Why can't you just get it through your head
It's O O Over
Yes you heard me clearly now........

"Jump Street"

"Jump Street"


Dawn came sneaking
Like a skinny snake
The harder they go
The harder I ache
Get so high
Got so low
Somebody tell me
'Bout this debt I owe

West side bomber
Looked like a comer
Looked like I'll be back at school
Put two on the nose
And look how she goes
Little trained squeeze
Look like a fool
Rock on..

And I'm gone
Stone gone
Said you can forget about me
And I'm gone
Stone gone

Working girls
Just tryin to get ahead
Somebody's bound
To end up dead
And honey
You better stop coming down on me
On me
Stop

Jump Street

Sally comes creeping
At the break of dawn
Can't figure out
Whose side I'm on
Bomber comes back
Like a ringin' a bell
Knows a good thing
And she knows it well

Well enough best left alone
Wish your mamma
Had kept you at home
Wish your mamma
Had kept the evidence
Worryin' about the Feds
Has crucified me for dead
She wish I was dead
Well I wish I was dead

But I'm gone
Stone gone
As gone as I can be
And I'm gone
So gone

Don't look much
Like a Saturday night
Honey
Don't look for those flashing lights
But baby
You'd better stop coming down on me
Stop coming down on me
I don't need it
Stop coming down.. on me

OW!

Jump Street

And I'm gone
Stone gone
You can forget about me yeah
I'm gone
Stone gone
So long

Workin girls
Just tryin' to get ahead
Somebody's bound
To end up dead
Honey
You better stop comin' down on me
Stop your comin' down
Stop comin' down on me yeah
Stop comin' down on me

Look out funk........

Jump Street.... [etc]

"Just Go"

"Just Go"


Take what you need
Just leave me a key and go
I'm all out of answers
Except where I don't know

This hanging around
Is dragging us down you know
Everything changes
I guess we let it go

Take care of yourself
You'll learn to live again
Wary but wiser in the end
Perhaps.... oh well

Just go
I'm all out of answers
But yes... the answers no

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Ooooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

Here comes old chaos
Now there's a friend
And he'll have us laughing in the end
But crying now

Just Go
Everything changes
Oh yes well there you go... there you go
