"The Book Of Love"

"The Book Of Love"


In the book of love come of age
When you lose your love, you turn the page
Hey-ho the book of love,
Life is written in your own blood
Say forever and it all sounds fine
When you're holding hands,
With the hands of time
Hey-ho the book of love
Laugh at the dead but tomorrow you cry

My broken hearts from a to z
Do's and don'ts on bended knees
Change of lovers endlessly
And this book of love is writing me

Chapter 2 you walk away
But in chapter 3 a man made me stay
Hey-ho the book of love
Why don'tcha look up
All the games you played

My broken hearts from a to z
Do's and don'ts on bended knees
Change of lovers endlessly
And this book of love is writing me

They'll be sweet love in a darkness
But the book of love
Is a story of your loneliness

Finger tipped it on a holy night
And a page is ripped for a name of life
Check the back cause the date'll be due
When they'll throw the book of love at you

They are broken hearts from a to z
Do's and don'ts on bended knees
Disappointed right to be
Celebrate a celebrity
K-i-s-s-i-n-g
Ah stupid cupid set me free
Took a look and what'll I see
This book of love is writing me
This book of love is writing me
This book of love is writing me
This book of love is writing me

"The Cruel War"

"The Cruel War"


The cruel war is raging
Sonny has to fight
I want to be with him
From morning till night

I want to be with him
It grieves my heart so
Won't you let me go with you
No my love no

Tomorrow is Sunday
Monday is the day
That your captain will call you
And you must obey
Your captain will call you
It grieves my heart so
Won't you let me go with you
No my love no

I'll tie back my hair
Men's clothing I'll put on
I'll pass as your conrad
As we march along
I'll pass as your conrad
No one will ever know
Won't you let me go with you
No my love no

Oh Sonny oh Sonny
I feel you are unkind
I love for better
Than all of mankind
I love you for better
Than words can ever express
Oh won't you let me go with you
Yes my love yes

"The Fall (Kurt's Blues)"

"The Fall (Kurt's Blues)"


Never even knew you
But I heard your note today
You talk about injustice
And how we look the other way
I knew full well your meaning
But my world just moves too fast
It's a shame about your future
It's a crime about your past

Was there no one who could save you
From the prison of each breath
Like Rapunzel in her tower
Isolation equals death
Was there no one who could rescue you
From the prison of your pain
Am I tougher or just lucky
Our fate didn't end the same

But my heart has run on empty
Since I heard the fuckin' news
We're a heartless, Godless culture
We'd walk nowhere in your shoes

For me it's 6:30 in the morning
And my moods as black as rain
I am 30 light years older
But I understand your pain
They'll all hate you
'Cause you left them here
To struggle on their own
I'm sorry you saw no choice
'Til death chilled you to the bone

But my heart has run on empty
Since I heard the fuckin' news
We're a heartless, Godless culture
We'd walk nowhere in your shoes
Well the good news if there's any
Is you ever lived at all
But our country kills its heroes
We just raise them for the fall

"The First Time"

"The First Time"


Oh I heard a rooster crow
I think I better go
Never been out this late before
Please don't think I'm a bore
But will I see you anymore

Say have you got a comb that I can use
I'm sure I look like real bad news
Like I really been abused
Don't get me wrong when I ask before
If I'll see you anymore

I don't know if I should laugh or cry
Do you want to kiss me goodbye?
Or was I just another try
You're a funny kinda guy
Don't know what I'll say
When they ask me why

Oh I heard a rooster crow
I think I better go
Never been out this late before
I know when I walk outside your door
I won't see you anymore

"The Girl From Ipanema"

"The Girl From Ipanema"


Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes a-a-h!

When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes a-a-h!

Ooh but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see
She never sees me

Ooh but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but she doesn't see

"The Greatest Song I Ever Heard"

"The Greatest Song I Ever Heard"


Now the greenest green I've ever seen
Was the grass on which you laid
And the bluest blue was in my eyes
When you said you couldn't stay
And the biggest lost I ever took
Was losing what we've begun
And the greatest song I ever heard
Was the one we never sung

Now the reddest red I've always said
Is the sunset coming down
Soon the blackest night that kills the light
Is the only thing around
And the downest down I ever been
Is when I knew my race was run
And the greatest song I ever heard
Was the one we never sung

Time will kill the pain they say
And we'll live to love another day
If you wanna win you got to play the game
Now the greatest break came on the day
We were standing in the rain
And the hardest hurt I've ever know
Was when you tried to ease my pain
And the longest day in history
Waiting till my crying's done
And the saddest song I ever heard
Was the one we finally sung

I don't know why you hurt inside,
Or what was said to make you cry.
I hope that you can see,
You are the greatest thing to me.

I don't wa-wanna waste another day,
Without telling you that, baby, you're great.
And I can see it written on your face,

To heal your permanently broken heart (broken heart),
Baby, you're the greatest to me,

"The Gunman"

"The Gunman"


When I enter a room
I will only sit facing the door
It's love I'm looking for as I search every face
I start to wonder is this the place?

For love is a gunman and no mercy has he
He'll hunt you down until the day death sets you free
Love is a gunman and he's coming to town

You'll meet his glaze both barrels blaze staring you down
Love is the gunman and no mercy has he
This time his sights are set on me

You can run, you can hide
You can even saddle up and ride
But love won't be deny you can wear a disguise
But it isn't fooled by alibis

For love is a gunman and no mercy has he
He'll hunt you down until the day death sets you free
Love is a gunman and he's coming to town

You'll met his glaze both barrels blaze staring you down
Love is the gunman and no mercy has he
This time his sights are set on me

For love is a gunman, love is a gunman
Love is a gunman and no mercy has he
This time his sights are fixed on me

"The Long And Winding Road"
(originally by The Beatles)

"The Long And Winding Road"
(originally by The Beatles)



The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear oh well
I've seen the road before
And it always brings me here
Leads me to your door

The long and winding road
That the rain washed away
That left a pool of tears
I cried all the days.
Why leave me standing here
Oh let me know the way
As many times I will amould
And many times I've cried
And many times you won't know
And many times I've tried still
They lead me back

To that long and winding road
That left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me standing
Here take me to your door.

But still they lead me back
To that long and winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Oh please don't leave me here alone
Take me to your door

"The Man I Love"

"The Man I Love"


Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big so big and strong
The man, the man that I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay

He's gonna look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He's gonna grab, he's gonna grab my hand
And though I know it seems obscure
I know it won't say
We won't say a word

[Chorus:]
Maybe I shall meet him sunday
Maybe monday maybe not
Still I'm gonna meet him one day
Cause maybe tuesday will be
My good news day
He'll build a little home meant just for 2
From which I'll never, never run with you
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love

He's gonna look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He's gonna grab, he's gonna grab my hand
And though I know it seems obscure
I know it won't say
We won't say a word

[Chorus]
