"Boom Boom"

"Boom Boom"


Take a look what's be going on behind me
I swear to God this ain't no making of my own

That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now she's dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home

'Cos when I see that angel walking past my window
When I see that angel walking past my door
I know what this tired old heart's been waiting, waiting for
Boom boom
Boom boom

And I can't win
There ain't no us denying
So many years of experience
Tell me it's so

That stupid cupid arrow
Lost for years and never found me
Now she's dancing on my history
And she drives the dagger home

'Cos when I see that angel walking past my window
When I see that angel walking past my door
I know what this tired old heart's been waiting, waiting for
Boom boom
Boom boom

"Born Bad"

"Born Bad"


Take care of the way he's smiling
You can see so easily
The Devil's in him deep deep down
Oh that man's got the baddest blood you'll see
When he smiles you got to pray
He stays that way and don't mad
Cos there ain't no good inside him
He was born bad

Oh the maddest dog he fears him
And his woman she looks so sad
She knows he was born bad
He was born bad
Oh yeah he was born bad

Don't you look for a little piece that's good
Thinking you can't save his soul
Don't you ever try to trust him
Or for sure he'll take control
And when he smiles you got to pray
He stays that way and don't mad
Cos there ain't no good inside him
He was born bad

Oh the maddest dog he fears him
And his woman she looks so sad
She knows he was born bad
He was born bad
He was born bad

Oh the maddest dog he fears him
And his woman she looks so sad
She knows he was born bad
He was born bad
He was born bad

"Born To Lose"

"Born To Lose"


Love started out like fresh April dawn
Dreams I have left faded and torn

I was born to lose baby
I was born to lose baby

There was this woman when I was a boy
She was my queen and I was her toy

I was born to lose baby
I was born to lose baby

Now I could not give what the rich man could give no
Only myself for as long as I live

I was born to lose baby
Oh I was born to lose baby

Born to lose
Born to lose
Born to lose

"Boss Man Cut My Chains"

"Boss Man Cut My Chains"


Well the boss man cut my chains and set me free
Now I don’t know, I don’t know what will come of me
I don’t know nothing except the way I live …
Now the boss man cut my chains
And set me free

My father was a working slave
Just like me
You learn to keep your head down
Don’t look to see
What’s going on all around you
All my life been that way
Now the boss man cut my chains
And he walk away

Now I can’t write and I can’t read
I have no school
And here I’m standing in the world
Like a worn out mule
I don’t know what is going to come now
Or what will be
Well now the boss man cut my chains
Says him free

What can I do
What’s going to become of me?
I don’t know nothing
Except these working fields I see
Oh now I’m standing on the outside
With a fear inside me
Now the boss man cut my chains
And said I’m free

"Bows And Bangles"

"Bows And Bangles"


Born and raised in wilderness
Of suburban shops and schools
How she tried and tried to be satisfied
With a job on the typing pool
She hated the smell of carbon paper
The office so smoky and dry
How she longed for the day she would make her get away
And say her last goodbye

Bows and bangles on her fingers
And silver bells on her toes
That lady has music where she wonders
That lady has music where she goes

Married a guy with prospects
And so became his wife
And that my friend is the end of the story
'Cos that was the rest of his life
She could have been a movie star
She could have made the scene
Right or wrong she still hangs on
Each night to her favourite dream

Bows and bangles on her fingers
And silver bells on her toes
That lady has music where she wonders
That lady has music where she goes

"Break Another Piece Of My Heart"

"Break Another Piece Of My Heart"


Girl you're driving me crazy
Girl you're making me blue
Why do you give me such a run-around
Oh babe what am I gonna do
Cos when I think it's all over
Past and gone
We're gonna make a new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart

All our friends want to know
They all want to know the reason why
You say we're made for each other
That there'll never be another
Then you make me cry
Cos when I think it's all over
Past and gone
We're gonna make a new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Oh there you go
Break another piece of my heart

Now I don't want anybody else but you
And my love is so straight and true
But every promise that you make
Is a promise that you break
I don't know what I'm gonna do
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
Break another piece of my heart
Now I don't want anybody else but you
But when I think we got a brand new start
There you go
Break another piece of my heart
There you go
Break another piece of my heart

"Breaking Point"

"Breaking Point"


No one saw it coming
The breaking point
There'd been heartaches before

But never a breaking point
What made him turn
What made him turn and walk away
Last time we saw him
He had nothing much to say

Now I guess we'll never know
The breaking point

He never said nothing
Cause he had nothing left to say
Never known to quite
Deep down, something snapped and broke away
There'd been heartaches before
We always laughed at the price of love we pay
I wonder
The breaking point

They say when you break down
You are the last to know
No cries for attention
Seems like he just let it go

The breaking point
The breaking point

The heart of a lion
Always known for his smile
If somebody needed
He'd always go the extra mile
The smallest of cracks
And the difference it makes
When you're close to the edge
A sweet small kiss is all that it takes
They saw him walking away
And take one last look
Now all we can do is pray
And wonder what it took

But I guess we'll never know
I guess we'll never know
The breaking point
Ah, the breaking point
Oh, the breaking point
God save us from the breaking point
God save us from the breaking point
Yeah, yeah

"Burning Feet"

"Burning Feet"


No standing with these burning feet
I got to kill the the fire
Got to kill the heat
I see a road and a river
I gotta go
'cos there's fire in my shoes
And you're moving too slow
For these burning feet

I got to move
Burning feet
Need a cool groove
Burning feet
Win or lose
Looking to kill the heat
Oh these burning shoes

One day they'll find me in pieces,
By the side of the track
Smoke trail behind me,
Flames from my back
This is what made me,
Yeah how I was made
Forever, in the heat
And never in the shade
Of these burning feet

Burning feet
I got to move
Burning feet
Need a cool groove
Burning feet
Win or lose
Looking to kill the heat
Oh these burning shoes

 

[fox69]

"Call On Me"

"Call On Me"


Oh child
Why did you do yourself so much harm
Don't you know don't you know
There's such a long way to go
If I could turn every scar and pain
Into some kind of help for you
I would give anything and everything
To show the way for you
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting

I know what you're thinking
I hear what you say
The pain that you're feeling
You say won't go away
But I got the wisdom
Of a thousand broken bones
And I would break every one of them one more time
If that's what it takes to get you home

Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me
I got some good times waiting
Call on me

"Can't Get Through"

"Can't Get Through"


Radio speaker - radio bleep
Put it on hard disc -
See it on your pc
Everybody moving - cos
their so afraid of losing
You gotta pull the straps
Till it can't fight back

Say you gotta pull straps
Till it can't fight back
Press it down, press it down

What's going on,
Oh what's going on
There was a time,
When all I could see
was a sun in the sky
There was a place I knew where we
We used to run, run with
the wind in our faces

I look to the left, I look to the right
Can't get through
Press it down, I can't get through
Look to the left, I look to the right
I can't get through

I can't get through
I can't get through

Radio play, radio scream
Coming up through
All the crap on my windscreen
I can't get through
I can't go back
Laugh (too scared)
I might have a heart attack
I say I might have a heart attack

I can't get through
I can't get through
