"Selfish One"

"Selfish One"


Selfish one, why keep your love to yourself
It's like a souvenir that just sits on a shelf
It seems like you built a fence around your heart
Afraid that sharing might tear it apart
You pass up every chance at the start of romance

Selfish one, why keep your love in store
You think it's still that keeps forever more
You feel as I do when I ache
My heart could break down in a lonely stage
You better let your heart find a mate before it's too late

You let so much time pass by
I find myself still giving you the eye
You must have realised much to my surprise
You're making eyes at me
Is it really you

Now selfish one, you're walking me to my door
Selfish one, you never did this before
Without a chance to resist, your lips get mine
You're beginning to let your love light shine
I can see that you're really on the ball

You're not selfish at all
No, not at all
The way you hold me, the way you squize me
No you're not selfish
No, no, no
You're not selfish at all, not at all

The way you hold me, the way you squize me
You're not selfish at all
No not at all
The way you hold me
You're not selfish at all

"Shadows Of Society"

"Shadows Of Society"


Rich man and poor, beggar and thief
Searching in the darkness
For a light to show the way
Each seeking his identity

Protect me from my brother please
They pray
Afraid and so alone
Tell me where have all the loving people gone

They're lying here with you and me
Buried in the shadows of society

Young mothers' faces filled with shame
It's not enough to give her baby life, they say
Each child must have a proper name
Or they'll never be allowed to see the light of day

Wrong, right or wrong
Tell me where has understanding gone

Where have all the loving people gone
Where has understanding gone
Here they are with you and me
Buried in the shadows of society

Once someone said
'Let there be light'
What good is light
If we've forgotten how to see

It's gone
The light is gone
Where is the light of love
To lead us on

As I rush through the shadows
Seeking me
May the torch of love
Light my way

Where have all the loving people gone
Where has understanding gone

Once someone said
'Let there be light'
What good is light
If we've forgotten how to see

It's gone
The light is gone
Where is the light of love
To lead us on

As I rush through the shadows
Seeking me
May the torch of love
Light my way

"Shine"

"Shine"


Ooh I'll remember those old love letters
Plagued with memories I can't forget us
Trying to fight it
Trying to hide it

Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out boy
It never ended
Trying to fight it
Trying to hide it
Your love it shines

In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good
Someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines

Here in this appartment with oh too many rooms
Pearls once meant something they brought me only gloom
Trying to fight it
Trying to hide it

Rekindled flames are not recommended
But it never went out boy
It never ended
Crime can fight it
Lies can hide it
Your love it shines

In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good
Someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines

You'd better shine it up
You'd better shine it up
You'd better shine it up
You'd better shine it up

In a cruel hard world
It's a miracle to find
Someone good
Someone whose love it shines
Your love it shines

"Shockwaves"

"Shockwaves"


Bloodpressure's rising
Can't catch my breath
Everytime I hear footsteps coming nearer
These strange vibrations
I can't resist
The feeling scares me so
I lose control

My head is shaking
And my knees are weak
I feel the ground moving under me

You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves

This strong sensation
Is burning in me
Everytime I hear you whisper in my ear
Got to have hold of my heart
Like gravity I can't try to hide it
No way to fight it

My hands are shaking
And my knees are weak
I feel the ground moving under me

You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
You're sending
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves
You're sending me
You're sending me shockwaves, shockwaves

Heaven knows I tried
To keep my sanity
But mama never told me
What a man like you could do to me

Hey shockwaves
Hey shockwaves

You're sending, you're sending me shockwaves
You're sending, you're sending me shockwaves
You're sending, you're sending me shockwaves
You're sending, you're sending me shockwaves

"Sleepin'"

"Sleepin'"


Johnny's been runnin' hard all his life
'Cause life never treated him right
Well he ain't running now
You see his eyes are closed
They can't hurt him tonight

Sleepin', he's sleepin'
Just let him be for a while
Don't wake him, don't take him
To where the people don't smile

Sleepin', my man is sleepin' nice now
Please let him stay here with me
I promise, I'll keep him
At home, where he's supposed to be

He's been out there
In the streets you know
And strugglin', scufflin'
Trying to survive
Out there in a richman's world
And now you say my Johnny is not alive
But you're wrong, can't you see

Sleepin', he's just sleepin' mister
He doesn't rest very much
He lives hard and he gives hard
And I'll just die for his touch

Sleepin', he's sleepin'
Without a care to his name
He's peaceful
He's quiet
He's tired of runnin' his game

He's been out there
In the streets you know
With all the pain and all the suffering
Out there
Where you fight like hell
He never learned a fix don't fix a thing
Don't touch him

Johnny put too much in his vanes
And now you're trying to tell me he's gone
I don't believe you
I'm just gonna sit here
And rock him in my arms

Sleepin', he's sleepin'
He doesn't rest very much
You see he lives hard and gives hard

"Slide Some Oil To Me"

"Slide Some Oil To Me"


Slide some oil to me
Let it trickle down my spine
If you don't have S.T.P.
Crisco will do just fine
Slide some to my elbows
And to my fingers if you would
Slide some oil to me, girl
Whoo! Don't that feel good!
Slide some oil to my feet, look
I got toes again
Come on and slide some oil to my knees
And let me see if I can bend
Slide some oil to me
I'm beginning to feel just fine
Slide some oil down my throat
And let me lubricate my mind
Slide some oil to me
Go ahead, hit my shoulder blades
Those who don't have to lubricate
Sure got it made
Slide some oil to me
Let it slip down my side
Laying there in one position
Sure does make me tired
Now watch me dance!
And let me lubricate my mind

"Smile"

"Smile"


Smile,
Though your heart is aching
Smile,
Even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by

If you smile,
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile,
And maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near

That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you,
Just smile

That's the time
You must keep on trying
Smile,
What's the use of crying
You'll find that life
Life is still worth while
If you just smile

"So Close"

"So Close"


So close
When I look into your eyes
So close
I feel I'm hypnotized
I wanna stay here
For the rest of my life
So close
When you smile at me that way
So close
It takes my breathe away
I love you more
With every beat of my heart
Ooh, I remember the night we met
I knew I'd never, ever be the same
Ooh, I remember the night you said you loved me
In and instant my whole world changed
So close (closer and closer)
Feel your body next to mine
So close (closer and closer)
(closer and closer and closer)
I'll lose a sense of time
I wanna stay here for the rest of my life
I wanna stay here for the rest of my life
Ooh, I remember the night we met
I knew I never ever be the same
Ooh, I remember the first time you said you loved me
I love you darling
In an instant my whole world changed
So close (closer and closer)
Being here with you
So close
And there's nothing I'd rather do
Than make you stay here
And I'll keep you always so close
Closer and closer
Come on closer to me boy

"So They Say"

"So They Say"


When I think about all the love and fun that we used to have
There's no doubt that I do miss your touch
And all the good times and the bad
But I, I realize that we were not meant to be
So I'll set you free 'cause what they say doesn't apply to you and me
Some good things did come to an end
If you're ever down and out of need
I will be right here always, you have a friend in me
So call on me, even though we're apart
Even though we're apart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
So they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and I'll get mine
People used to say one day you were gonna away
And break my heart in two
But it's all in the game of love
Sometimes you win or lose
Do what you gotta do
Can't say I regret that things that I got and didn't get
I knew all alone
Inside I saw all the signs yet and still I
Went along for the ride
Some good things do come to an end
If you're ever down and out of need
I will be right here, always you have a friend in me
So call on me, even though we're apart
Even though we're apart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
You'll always have a special place in my heart
So they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and I'll get mine
So they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and I'll get mine
They say, so they say, so they say
If it's right, it'll come back your way
I cannot lie, not this time
You've got yours and I'll get mine

"So You Wanted To See The Wizard"

"So You Wanted To See The Wizard"


So you wanted to meet the wizard
Let me tell you that you've come to the right place
Shall i make you a frog or a lizard
You should see the strange expression on your face

If the way i come on is frightening
That's the way i felt like coming on today
Have you ever been kissed by lightning?
Let me tell you that will make you go away!

I fly, and the magic of my power takes me higher
To a level where the clouds turn into fire
In the warmness of the fire
I feel fine

Just keep your eyes open and the magic you will see
It will whistle on the wind
As it emanates from me
It's a strong and true vibration,
You can feel it on your skin

Now come and take my hand
And we will dance
Upon the wind
So you wanted to meet the wizard!!
