"Cold, Dark And Yesterday"

"Cold, Dark And Yesterday"



The sun beats down so slow
I feel my body heating up inside
I watch the danger zone
For signs of life but not a soul alive
Try every trick I know
To keep my temperature from blowing sky high
Check on the time to go
Lay my spirit down to fantasize
Disembark disconnect possibilities unknown
On the edge of a heading for heavy weather
I suspect I can tell I can feel it in my bones
All not well but you never know...
Cold Dark and Yesterday

Glamorama all around me
Friendly natives turning back to brown
I keep my shades well down
They cannot penetrate what can't be found
Feel the fever start to rise
Slip away in indiscreet disguise
How can a man survive when the weak meet the soft
And the heat blinds your eyes
Left to right up and down it's picture postcard time
Hear the sounds save the image in my mind
Cold Dark and Yesterday

"Crazy Eyes"

"Crazy Eyes"


Pardon the crazy way I behave
And the things I say
Maybe I'm too young to know the score
But there's something inside not right
Wish I could vocalize
If I screamed would you realize
Feeling like a child without his toys
But just want to tell you...

[Chorus:]
Everything's all right
I'm just looking at you through
Crazy eyes toniqht
So if I'm acting kind of strange
I'm just looking through crazy eyes

Cloudy day say it looks like rain
What's the use, I know it's all the same
Read a magazine, electric light
Is keeping me from my dreams
How do I sound to you?
Like a fool, a little cuckoo too
I only wish I know what I should do
Believe me when tell you

[Chorus]

Everything seems to have changed
I don't even know my name
I wish I could place the blame on someone
But there's no one -

[Chorus]

"Crime Pays"

"Crime Pays"



I know you know all the pros and cons
They help you get to everything you want
Greasing policemen bending all the rules
Make them an offer that they can't refuse
One crime baby I can't forgive
The kind that hurts where I live
I'm a nice guy I try to wait and see
If you'll get caught or go free

You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seem like crime pays
Crime pays

Beat the heat but you couldn't pay me off
You're staying cool no matter what it costs
You get caught you'll never do the time
I have to say you've got a way with one crime baby I can't forgive
The kind that hurts where I live
It's all too clear but I still don't see
Why all the guilty go free

You stole my heart and left me blue
It look like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seems like crime pays
Crime pays
It seems like crime pays
Crime pays

Catch a thief and let her go
You won't get back the love she stole
Shake her down but she don't mind
'Cause she commit the perfect crime OK, OK
You know I know you're a pro and con artiste
Oh baby you're a false alarm
Why do I try to play it by the rules
I was the victim but I'm not a fool

You stole my heart and left me blue
It looks like crime pays for you
You do it and you get away
It seems like crime pays

"Delayed Reaction"

"Delayed Reaction"



You strike a low blow
You fight a dirty fight
Right to the heart you're putting me away
Time was movin' slow
But I was in control
There were so many things I should've said
But couldn't think of one word
(Delayed reaction) oh yeah
At first I was ashamed
Then I was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Say that (delayed reaction) oh no
At first I was alright
And then I had to fight
I wanted to hurt you
I wanted to hurt you so

It was a backlash
No I couldn't let it pass
I was so mad I couldn't keep it down
I made it real tough
Ooh I had to blow you off
I couldn't stand it having you around
I couldn't stand the sound, no
(Delayed reaction) oh yeah
At first I was ashamed
And then I was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Say that (delayed reaction) oh no
At first I was alright
And then I had to fight with you
I wanted to hurt you
I wanted to hurt you so
But if the rage is right
Then you better be wrong
'Cause if I force a fight well then I'm twice a fool
Ooh, I could've listened more
Was that what you were waiting for?
I can't imagine why
I can't imagine why
I can't imagine why you'd wanna let it go
I didn't wanna blow but
(Delayed reaction) oh yeah
At first I was ashamed
And then I was inflamed
I wanted to hurt you
Say that delayed reaction oh no
At first I was alright
And then I had to fight with you
I wanted to hurt you so
(Delayed reaction) oh yeah
Ooh I had to fight, fight, fight you
(Delayed reaction oh no)
Just had to let the love blow to fight a dirty fight
9Delayed reaction oh yeah)
What good is saying I lost my head I didn't mean it girl
(Delayed reaction) oh no
Ooh baby, ooh baby
I can't imagine why you want to let it go
(Delayed reaction)
Ooh, yeah the boys are fine and I'm twice the fool
(Delayed reaction) oh no
I can't imagine why, I can't imagine why

"Did It In A Minute"

"Did It In A Minute"



When you find yourself alone
And when going out is coming home
Well, you can count on the kid
'Cause there's nobody waiting around
Oh-oh, if you're not an easy mark
It's a shot in the dark that hits the heart
And I know, I know, I know, I know
When it's coming
(I thought so anyway)
Some things stay the same
And some are due for change
I thought I had them all nailed down
But you turned it around

Oh you did it
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute
(You did it)
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
I know you did it
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute
(You did it)

Well I still can't say I know
When a love is real or touch and go
And if two can be one
Who is the one two becomes, oh-oh
Am I quick enough to see
When I'm ready and it's right for me
I say, I say, I say, I say that I want it
I think so anyway
Everybody always laughs at love
But what they want is to be proven wrong
Then you came along

Oh you did it
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute
(You did it)
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
Oh-ooooh-oh
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute
(You did it)

(I know, I know, I know, I know)
I know you did it, you did it, you did it
You did it, you did it in a minute
(You did it)
I didn't really plan it
But you did it, you did it, you did it
You did it, you did it in a minute
(You did it)
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
Oh-ooooh-oh
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it, you did it in a minute
(You did it)
I want someone to prove I'm wrong
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it, you did it in a minute
(You did it)
(I know, I know, I know, I know)
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it, you did it in a minute
(You did it)
You're messing with my love life
(You did it, you did it, you did it)
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it in a minute

"Diddy Doo Wop (I Hear The Voices)"

"Diddy Doo Wop (I Hear The Voices)"



Look at me, I'm running
Ooh, what have I done
Oh, I must have hurt someone
Dark in subway station
Gimme place to hide
Oh, I hear the Voices deep inside
And the Voice is singing

Diddy Doo Wop Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Diddy Doo Wop
Well, it starts in my head and it ends when I stop
Keep singing Diddy Doo Wop

Charlie liked the Beatles
Sam, he liked Rich Girl
I'm still hung up on the Duke of Earl
Reaching for the handle
Slicing through the air
Oh, the Doo Wop Voices everywhere
Oh, the Duke is singing

Diddy Doo Wop Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Diddy Doo Wop
Well, it starts in my head and it ends when I stop
Diddy Doo Wop
I hear the Voices

"Do It For Love"

"Do It For Love"



I would fly ten thousand miles
In the pouring rain
Just to see your face
I'd bare my soul to a total stranger
Just to say your name
And I'm not ashamed

Just to love you into every morning
I would change my name
And run away

I won't do it for money
I won't do it for pride
I won't do it to please somebody else
If it don't feel right

But I'll do it for you
And at least I'll try
I don't need any other reason
Than I feel it deep inside

I'll Do It For Love
I would write your name across the sky
So the world could see
What you mean to me
I'd sing songs at the top of my voice
In an empty room
Just to dance with you

And to love you into every morning
I'll leave the world behind
And I'll slow down time

I won't do it for money
I won't do it for pride
I won't do it to please somebody else
If it don't feel right
But I'll do it for you
And at least I'll try
I don't need any other reason
Than I feel it deep inside

I'll Do It For Love

What I do for love can take us anywhere at all

"Do What You Want, Be What You Are"

"Do What You Want, Be What You Are"


Do what you want girl, but be what you are
There ain't no right er wrong way
Just a play from the heart
It ain't a sign of weakness to give yourself away
Because the strong give up and move on,
While the weak give up and stay

[Chorus:]
So do what you want to do
But be what you are...

Do you believe in hot cars,
Leather bars, or movie stars
Is that what's real
Payin' dues, Earth Shoes, Chicago blues
Is that how you feel?
You can change, but you can't conceal
What's deep inside you
It's your game, it's your deal

[Chorus:]
So do what you want to do
But be what you are...

"Don't Blame It On Love"

"Don't Blame It On Love"



Mighty high or low down
Change around the words and they say
Low is not the last one
Cause you know, if you know
You'd be learning from a hit lip
Success is sitting fat and limp
But don't blame it on the system
It's only natural only natural
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on me
But don't blame it on love
Who d'ya think your heroes are?
Failures everyone
But you all love them for their innocence
When they fall when they fall
The loser's always deified
Winner only takes home the prize
But don't blame it on the system
It's only natural it's only natural
For you to blame it on yourself
Blame it on me
But don't blame it on love

 

[fox69]

"Don't Change"

"Don't Change"



I turned around and you were standing there
More than a little high
More than a little crazy
So beautiful I had to stare
And I knew you had the power to change me
Scarlet woman, you've come for me
Your timing's great, 'cause I've been
waiting so long
The only thing I want to say
Now that you've got me, please-
Don't Change my life
You know I love you but I hate your friends
They got dollars but they ain't got sense
If the time comes and you go away
I hope I've changed and yet stayed the same
Scarlet woman you've come to me
Your timing's great 'cause I've been
waiting so long
Only thing I want to say
Now that you've got me, please-
Don't Change my life
