"I Want You"

"I Want You"


The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.

[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep,
They wait for you.
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask me to
Open up the gate for you.

[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

Now all my fathers, they've gone down
True love they've been without it.
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it.

Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid.
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her.
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see.
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter.

[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit,
He spoke to me, I took his flute.
No, I wasn't very cute to him,
Was I?
But I did it, though, because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I ...

[Chorus]
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.

"I'll Be Your Man"

"I'll Be Your Man"


Too many voices
Too many noises
Invisible wires keeping us apart.
So many choices,
But they're all disappointments
And they only steal me away from you.

Climb into our own private bubble
Let's get into all kinds of trouble

Slide over here, let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
Girl, stop your talking
Words just get in the way
I'll be your man

So baby come over
From the end of the sofa
I'll be your man
I'll be your man

So many faces
Staring at their shoelaces
When all anyone wants is to be seen
So tonight let's be honest
We all want to be wanted
And darlin' you've got me wantin' you

Everything that I'm trying to say
Just sounds like a worn out cliche.

Slide over here, let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
Girl, stop your talking
Words just get in the way
I'll be your man

So baby come over
From the end of the sofa
I'll be your man
I'll be your man

What are we all looking for?
Someone we just can't ignore
It's real love dripping from my heart,
You've got me tripping
What are we all looking for?
Oh....

Slide over here, let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
Girl, stop your talking
Words just get in the way
I'll be your man

Slide over here, let your hands feel the way
There's no better method to communicate
Girl, stop your talking
Words just get in the way
I'll be your man

So baby come over
From the end of the sofa
I'll be your man
I'll be your man

I'll be your man
I'll be your man

I'll be your man.
I'll be your man.

"I'll Take Everything"

"I'll Take Everything"


Oh these feet carry me far. Oh my body. Oh so tired.
Mouth is dry. Hardly speak. Holy Spirit rise in me.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone when I die.
Have my body. Have my mind. Have my coat. Take my time.
These I borrow. Borrow so far. Turn to dust. Fall apart.
Here I swear, forever is just a minute to me.
I'll take everything in this life.
I'll join everyone and understand.
'Cause all men die. 'Cause all men die.
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone since I'm gonna die
I'll take everything in this life
I'll join everyone 'cause all men die

"If There's Any Justice"

"If There's Any Justice"


If there's any justice in the world,
I would be your man,
You would be my girl,
If I'd found you first you know its true,
He would be alone,
I would be with you.

When you decide, don't let me down,
Coz there's nothing to be certain in my life,
And you've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world

If there's any justice in your heart,
You love really changed,
Ease it into heart,
Why don't you remember how it feels,
Not to give a damn,
For anyone but me

I cant believe you'd be decieved,
Changing memories from truth to fantasy,
Where there's nothing left but tears,
there's not much justice in the world

Just because he's wrapped around your finger,
Don't fool yourself with dreams that might appear,
Everytime you'll stop and trust your feelings,
The truth is out there somewhere
It's just blowing in the wind

If there's any justice in the world,
I would be your man,
You would be my girl,

If I'd found you first you know its true,
He would be alone,
I would be with you,

When you decide, don't let me down,
Coz there's nothing to be certain in my life,
And you've seen a thousand times
There's not much justice in the world

If I should lose you girl you know,
That there's not much justice in the world

"If Time Is All I Have"

"If Time Is All I Have"


When you wake up
Turn the radio on
And you'll hear this simple song

That I made up
That I made up for you

When you're driving
Turn the radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
Hard these days
To get my message through

If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

When you marry
And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up, that it isn't me

When you're older
The memories fade
But I know I'll still feel the same
For as long as I live

But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name, one time
Please just say my name

But if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you

Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken-hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Of silences keeping me awake

Won't you say my name
When the song is over

"Into The Dark"

"Into The Dark"


Love is madness that's quick to burn
And lying in the embers is where we are
And if my promise is unreturned
Before the day is over I will depart

If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark

Love is blindness I cannot see
Underneath our roots are tangled and buried deep
When the leaves have fallen from the trees
Do we grow together entirely

If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark

If I could choose I'd have you stay
But I gave my heart to you and it's yours to break
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark
Before my fears tear us apart
Won't you follow me into the dark

"Kiss This Love Goodbye"

"Kiss This Love Goodbye"


My one, true love,
You can guess what I've been thinking of?
God knows, we've tried
To stay together while our hearts divided
Put my boxes in the hall
I leave my keys behind
It might not be the end but now
Oh it's time, to kiss this love goodbye
To kiss this love goodbye

You get, our friends
I will find a little place to rent
Out here now, doing fine
And I’ll pretend you never crossed my mind
So take my photo off the wall
And renovate your life
One day we might meet but now
Oh it's time
To kiss this love goodbye
To kiss this love goodbye

I give you back your life
Darling please don’t cry
Just put my boxes in the hall
I leave my keys behind
It might not be the end
But now its time
To kiss this love goodbye
To kiss this love goodbye
My one, true love,
You can guess what I've been thinking of?

"Love, Love, Love"

"Love, Love, Love"


I'm not looking for us
And neither should you.
Absolutely gorgeous,
Then nothing I say is true.
You won't find yourself
In these guilty eyes

'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me
And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.

Love, love, love
I can't take your
Love, love, love

And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.

I will wrap my body
In other women's arms.
Make love in a hurry,
Feel better than I am.
Hope you find yourself
In someone else's eyes

'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me
And so I say I don't love you,
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.

Love, love, love
I can't take your
Love, love, love

And so I say I don't love you

'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe (Love, love, love)
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me (Love, love, love)
And so I say I don't love you, (Love, love, love)
Though it kills me
'Cause it's a lie

'Cause I love anybody who's fool enough to believe (Love, love, love)
And you're just one of many who broke their heart on me (Love, love, love)
And so I say I don't love you, (Love, love, love)
Though it kills me
It's a lie that sets you free.

"Miss America"

"Miss America"


Did someone give you something to help you ease the pain?
Like the liquor in the bottle, we watched you slip away
And I feel as if I know you through the bars of a song
Always surrounded but alone

But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America
We watched you fly, but nothing's free, Miss America
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
Was it so hard to breathe?

Was the picture in the paper not the face you recognize?
Did the make-up never make up for the pain behind your eyes?
'Cause I feel as if I know you when you're on my silver screen
But I don't know the dark places that you've been

But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America
We watched you fly, but nothing's free, Miss America
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
Was it so hard to breathe?

Does another voice sing in Heaven's choir tonight
To fill the silence left behind?
And I don't know what goes on in your mind
But I'm sure it's enough to make me cry

Someday we'll find you lived forever

But no goodbyes, you'll always be Miss America
We watched you fly but nothing's free, Miss America
And as you fall apart, we just call it art
Was it so hard to breathe?

"Next Time I'm Seventeen"

"Next Time I'm Seventeen"


It was the year of 91
Freddy Mercury was gone
And Nevermind was playing on our radios
We were only 17
I would park out on your street
Wait for dark to see you climbing out your window
Something's gone wrong with the weather
There's a storm out in the desert
But to us that all seemed very far away

Sometimes, when I
Think about those days it makes me wonder
What went by
Oh yeah, left me breathless
She was so damn wild
Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Ohh)
We were young and reckless
Too soon, out of time
Next time I'm 17
I won't be left behind
She would still be mine
She would still be mine

While the Iron Curtain fell
We were lying in a field
Shared the gin and cigarettes I'd stolen from my dad
We both knew what would happen next
In my cherry red AX
Did she know she was the best I'd ever had
Said we'd always be together
That we'd stay this way forever
The future seemed so very far away

Sometimes, when I
Think about those days it makes me wonder
What went by
Oh yeah, left me breathless
She was so damn wild
Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives. (Ohh)
We were young and reckless
Too soon, out of time
Next time I'm 17
I won't be left behind
She would still be mine

You must be married now
In some suburban house
Are you happy now?
Do you ever think back to those times?
It was so innocent
Do you ever meet me in your mind?

Oh yeah, she left me breathless
She was so damn wild
Sometimes I think those were the best days of our lives.
We were young and reckless
Too soon, out of time
Next time I'm 17
I won't be left behind
She would still be mine

(Oh yeah, she was)
She'd still be mine
(Sometimes)
Still be mine
(Best days of our lives)

We were young and reckless
Too soon, out of time
Next time I'm 17
I won't be left behind
She would still be mine.
