"Best In The West"

"Best In The West"


Best in the west, that's your name
Makin' love's your claim to fame
Better than the best, oh everyone say
How'd he learn to love that way

You're the best in the west
You're a tough sharp shooter
And you aim to win
And I wish you'd love me now
Like you did then
You're the best in the west
You're the best I've ever had
A naughty boy
And the memory of you fills me with joy
Let's do it again, let's do it again

Best in the west, when you were five
Kissed the girls and made them cry
Better than the best, oh you built your place
Lovin' is a symphony

You're the best in the west
You've been a ladies man with class
Since way back when
And you stand so high above all the men
You're the best in the west
And your lovin' seemed to fell me
From the start
And the fantasy of you is in my heart
Let's do it again, let's do it again
Let's do it again, (Ooh let's do it, baby)
Let's do it again
(The way you do it, baby's good to me yeah)

Well I'm pretty damn good myself
But I must confess
when it comes to makin' love
Baby, your the best in the west

[Chorus:]
Best in the west, that's your name
When you gonna love me again
Let's do it again

[Chorus]

Better than the best, everyone say
How'd he learn to love that way
Let's do it again

[Chorus]

Better than the best and everyone say
How'd he learn to love that way
Best in the west, that's your name
Makin' love's your claim to fame
Let's do it again
Better than the best and everyone say
When you gonna love me again
Let's do it again
Better than the best and everyone say
How'd he learn to love that way
Let's do in again

"Betcha I"

"Betcha I"


[Chorus:]
I betcha I
Betcha I can
Betcha I can love
Betcha I can love ya
Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before

Betcha I, Betcha I, Betcha I [2x]

I betcha I can woo ya

And make you think you're havin' fun
Betcha I can choose ya
Betcha I can lose ya
I betcha I can drop you like a smokin' gun

Betcha I can tease ya
Betcha I can freeze ya
Betcha I can warm you like the mornin' sun
Betcha I can flirt ya
Betcha I can hurt ya
Betcha I can do ya till you're dead and done
Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before

[Chorus]

I betcha I can hold you
Betcha I can mold you
Betcha I can take you or leave you alone
Betcha I can kiss you
Don't you know that I can dismiss you
And you're dismissed now
Like a rolling stone
And how does it feel?

Betcha I can love you like you've never been loved before

"Castles Made Of Sand"

"Castles Made Of Sand"



Down the street you can hear her scream you're a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually

A little indian brave who before he was ten,
Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends
And he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior indian cheif
Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle
But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually

There was a young girl, who's heart was a frown
cause she was crippled for life,
And she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she could stop living,
So she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more
But then a sight shed never seen made her jump and say
Look a golden winged ship is passing my way

And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually

"Caught In The Act"

"Caught In The Act"


Suspicions rising, answers aren't clear
I thought we made a promise, now you've disappeared
You seem to lead two lives at a time
Do I still fit in, I thought you were mine
Sitting at the bar in our favorite cafe
I turn and see ya laughin' with her and your smile fades away
Didn't surprise me, there's nothin' left to say
I caught you red-handed now and you can't walk away

[Chorus:]
You were caught in the act
When you thought I wasn't lookin' at ya
C.I.T.A., I can see what you're doin'
Caught in the act, and I can't stand to hear your lies
Caught in the act, don't you try and change my mind

You called me the only, you said, "she's only a friend"
Don't pretend you're sorry, my heart will mend
Don't you come back to me, don't you try to call
You couldn't hold my heart with love, now you can't hold me at all

[Chorus]

Caught in the act, caught in the act
Caught in the act, C.I.T.A.
Caught in the act, caught in the act
Caught in the act, C.I.T.A.

"Chinatown"

"Chinatown"


Yin yang
A feeling's evolving through me
Sweet and sour
Is the taste you bring

When I said goodbye, you loved me
When I turned to you, you turned away
When I was so gung-ho
He said 'let me go'

He begged me to stay, stay, stay
If I try to find out what's on your mind
I'll find out in Chinatown

[Chorus:]
Chinatown
I don't know how to read you
Upside down
The signs will all mislead you
Like this town
You're such a mystery to me
Chinatown
I don't know how to read you
Upside down
The signs will all mislead you

I'll track you down
And you'll go crazy for me
So much smoke I can't get through to you
Eyes that I can't see

They stare me down
Here I'm chasin' you
Some crazy Fu Manchu
And it feels so wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

When I try to find out what's on your mind
I'll find out in Chinatown

[Chorus]

"Clouds"

"Clouds"



Clouds
Different shapes and sizes
Hiding the horizon

Clouds
In the distance
Coming to change my plans
All my dreams will melt like sand

Clouds
The moment that you say good-bye
They're gonna rush right to the sky

Whoa...
Baby, baby, please don't go

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain down tears
Of heartaches and fears

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
I know for sure
'Cause you don't reach for me no more

It's gonna rain
It's gonna rain
There in the distance
Is that number one pain

Clouds
Thunder is the warning
So dark and so alarming

Clouds
Go away, go away
Go, don't take away my sunny days

Clouds
Leave me be
Getting so dark out
I just can't see

"Coltrane Dreams"

"Coltrane Dreams"


Coltrane [repeat]

Round and round we'll chase
Like a silver train
Focused in a storm
Comin' through the rain
Avalanche of notes
Ships of crystal clear
On this earth they fall
But nobody seems to hear

Coltrane [repeat]

Round and round we'll chase
Like a silver train
Focused in a storm
Comin' through the rain
Avalanche of notes
Ships of crystal clear
On this earth they fall
But nobody seems to hear

When I dream I fly
Through this stormy world
Ships of sound I ride
Far from pain and fear
To Coltrane's sound so clear

Coltrane

"Come 2 My House"

"Come 2 My House"



I've got this feelin' inside
And it won't go away
It'll take time for it to subside
And oh by the way

Come to my house
Where we can play
Like I'm your flower
We'll hide and seek
Then we will find
Love's highest power

Could you stop by for some really good beer
Or a glass of wine
There's no threat, there's no danger here
If you forego go the time

A look in your eyes
And you remind
Me of my daddy
I can't say why
I decided tonight
Yes, you can have me

Love will surrender
Oh, when the heart cries out don't leave me standin' here
Not here
Not now

 

[fox69]

"Crazy"

"Crazy"



I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I know
You'd love me as long as you wanted
Then someday
Leave me for somebody new

Worry
Why do I let myself worry
Wond'ring
What in the world did I do
Crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for crying
I'm crazy for trying
I'm crazy for loving you

"Democrazy"

"Democrazy"



I got a problem with democracy
Don't know what it really means
A livin' lie, devoid of honesty
Where nothing's really what it seems

I'm in a funky situation
Doom is lurkin' ever nearer
I'm waiting for a revelation
Each day the signs are getting' clearer

Lies to my left, wrong to my right
Compassion unknown
This must be the twilight zone
A grizzly affair
Caught unaware
Why am I so scared
Where have all the flowers gone?

I've got a problem with democracy
So where exactly do I stand?
Who is this dark cloud hangin' over me?
It ain't from God; it must be a man
He is the one that you will seldom see
The new world order is his name
He's got a plan in mind for you and me
There are no winners in this game

Lies to my left, wrong to my right
Compassion unknown
This must be the twilight zone
And I'm standin' here
Tryin' to lose the fear
For this I would die
The truth will open up my eyes

Love will set you free from democracy

Supreme power invested in the people
Is a bit extreme
The highest rank of authority
Only God is Supreme!
