You Take It All

You Take It All



Every place that we ever knew
Just a time we held on to
Every space that we ever made
Just a piece of ourselves we saved

Every light that we ever held
Just the fire from a dark, dark spell
Every love that we ever crave
Just a thing to be kept and caged

(And sometimes)
Ooh, you take it all
Like the sea takes the land from under my feet
(And sometimes)
Ooh, you take it all
Like the sea takes the land from under my feet

Every dream that we ever ride
Just a place for our souls to hide
Every fear that we ever chase
Just the fear of the truth we face

(And sometimes)
Ooh, you take it all
Like the sea takes the land from under my feet
(And sometimes)
Ooh, you take it all
Like the sea takes the land from under my feet

"(Just Enough To Keep Me) Hangin' On"

"(Just Enough To Keep Me) Hangin' On"


It's true, you got me wrapped around your finger
Ah honey, it seems that's where I belong
You know how to hold me, thrill me and control me
Just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Ah honey, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
My heart is like a yo-yo string
I'm tied to you, I'm tied to you right or wrong
My love keeps on growing
Cause your love keeps right on showing
Just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Oh baby, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
A love as true as mine will make you do most anything
Like hiding tears and heartaches
And dreaming all those silly dreams
Ah honey, you got me, you got me where you want me
And you keep me stringing along
Just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Ah baby, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Ah honey, just enough, just enough to keep me hangin' on
Oh tell me why, just enough

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"
(originally by Otis Redding)

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"
(originally by Otis Redding)



Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time

Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same

I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

"88 Degrees"

"88 Degrees"


Stuck in L.A., ain't got no friends
And so Hollywood nuts,
Too many dead ends
Life on the streets is no where to live
Do I pack my bags or dare switch
Just sold my car, I sold it for junk
I can't pay my rent so I take the bus
It's the first time
I been in such a cold place
Where the temperature is 88

88 degrees
Lord it's so hot, so damn hot
Trying to make a deal
But somehow I'm stopped
Cause the pace is so heavy
Maybe it cause the weather
Yeah, yeah

I'm set in the mood for you
You remember the time
You remember the time

Yes, I'm the deal for a whole lot of dough
I'm hoping success turns ten years to gold
Finally I'm happening and I set in the press
You ask me what it's like to be famous

88 degrees
Lord it's so hot, so damn hot
Trying to make a deal
But somehow I'm stopped
Cause the pace is so heavy
Maybe it cause the weather
Yeah, yeah

Remember the time
Cause when in your face
You could start to get angry
Is it me or just this place
One thing is for sure
You got to work so hard
Sure feels this ain't no place
For broken hearts
Just ask me tomorrow if you love you

88 degrees
Lord it's so hot, so damn hot
Trying to make a deal
But somehow I'm stopped
Cause the pace is so heavy
Maybe it cause the weather
Yeah, yeah

Stuck in L.A., ain't go no friends
And so Hollywood nuts,
Too many dead ends
Life on the streets is no where to live
You ask me what it's like to be famous

88 degrees
Lord it's so hot, so damn hot
Trying to make a deal
But somehow I'm stopped
Cause the pace is so heavy
Maybe it cause the weather
Yeah, yeah

"A World Without Heroes"

"A World Without Heroes"


A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a pace
A pointless thing devoid of grace

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes

In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know

In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me

"A Young Girl (Une Enfante)"

"A Young Girl (Une Enfante)"


She left her neighborhood in which
Everyone was filthy rich
She left her parents at home
And strayed with a bagabond
Who made vows of love she never heard
And she believed his every word
She left no forwarding address
She just took her youth and happiness
And with the boy she vanished in
The secret sweetness of their sin

A young girl
A young girl of sixteen
Child of springtime still green
Laying there by the road

He told her love-demanded space
So they roam place to place
Although she realized she sinned
She threw caution to the wind
As she followed him around
While he slowly dragged her down
So overpowering was the love
That he had made
It captured all the young girl's hearts
And soul and mine
In another words love drove her blind

A young girl
A young girl of sixteen
Child of springtime still green
Laying there by the road

Too much emotion for a girl
She let her heart become her world
A world that God has never wrought
That brought us under we are taught
Had she'd been wise and she had known
She could of fed him love alone
She should've know the day would come
When he would quit her for fun
He needed fresh young meat to carve
And left her heart and mind to starve

"Again"

"Again"


Again evening finds me at your door
Here to ask you just once more
If we could try again
I don't know quite what to say
Never was too good that way
So won't you help me again

I don't know what made me leave
If you just take me back you see
How much I love you

Again don't stand crying in the door
If you believe your eyes once more
You see I'll never lie again

"Alfie"
(originally by Cilla Black)



What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give,
Or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it is wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,
Will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe, there's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even non-believers can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love we just exist, Alfie.
Until you've found the love you've missed
You're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk, let your heart lead the way.
And you'll find love any day, Alfie.
Alfie.

"All Because Of You"

"All Because Of You"


Sometimes, a heart has a mind of it's own
Sometimes, I can tell myself
That I'm better off bein' alone
Sometimes, but this time

I can't hide from the thought of it
It's around every corner I turn
Like there in lights, black and white
Starin' at me

It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because, all because of you

Tonight, I can't feel any magic inside
Tonight, 'cause I can't reach out for the stars
Lookin' up, at the moon on my own
No signs of life, no nothings right
Since you've been gone

It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because, all because of you

I can't sleep at night
Oh no, I can't sleep at night
And there ain't no rest
From this ill damn days
Without your love

You don't know what it's like to feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because

It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
All because of you
All because of you

It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
All because of you
All because of you, yeah
All because of you

"All I Really Want To Do"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"All I Really Want To Do"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



Now I ain't lookin'
To compete with you
Beat on, cheat on, mistreat you
Simplify you, classify you
Deny, defy, mystify you

All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

Now I ain't lookin'
To fight with you
Frighten you or uptight you
Drag you down or drain you down
Chain you down or bring you down

All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

I ain't lookin' to block you up
Dock or rock or lock you up
Analyze you, categorize you
Finalize or advertise you

All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

I don't want to straight-face you up
Race or chase or track or trace you
Or disgrace you or displace you
Or define you or confine you

All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you

Now, I don't want to meet your kin
Make you spin or do you in
Or select you or dissect you
Or inspect you or reject you

All I really want to do
Is baby, be friends with you
Baby, be friends with you
