"I've Come For Your Daughter"

"I've Come For Your Daughter"

Hello, Mr Brown
How do you slumber?
I know your street
I've got your number
Your sweet young girl
She's got the yen
Your lack of sleep
Has just begun

I've come for your daughter
I've come for your daughter
I'm crazy about that child
We drive each other wild

Believe your fears
I'm no invention
I'm on your stairs
There's no prevention

I've come for your daughter
I've come for your daughter
I'm crazy about that child
We drive each other wild

"If I Could Start Today Again"

"If I Could Start Today Again"

All the kings and queens in the bible
They could not turn back time
So what chance have I of a miracle
In this life of mine?
I only want one day
To unsay the things I said
Undo the thing I did
Twenty-four little hours
Oh God! Please wipe them all away
And I promise I will change
If I could start today again

I know I'm not the milk and honey kind
Today I proved it true
When the red mist falls around my eyes
I know not what I do
Please give me back today
And I won't say the things I said
Or do that thing I did
Every minute, every hour
The replay's just the same
And I can't stand the shame
Oh, let me start today again

I only want one day
One lousy day, that's all
Of every day that's been before
Since time began
I know my prayer's in vain
But for a second I'll pretend
That I can start today again

"Incident On South Dowling"

"Incident On South Dowling"

My baby was dying
Turning so blue
Four feet from me dying
My head was like glue

I couldn't save my baby
(He couldn't save his baby)

Loaded and sinking
To the vegetable zone
She just kept on sinking
Now she's mineral and bone

I couldn't save my baby
(He couldn't save his baby)

We lived on the first floor
We lived in two rooms
Now my poor baby
She lives with the worms

A head full of rocks
Is a heavy, heavy head
I was watching a movie
Night of the Living Dead
Now people they whisper
Now people they stare
They say I couldn't save her
Even though I was right there

I couldn't save my baby
(He couldn't save his baby)

We lived on the first floor
We lived in two rooms
Now my poor baby
She lives with the worms

"Invisible Me"

"Invisible Me"

Flying through the air tonight, way up in the sky
I can see lights below me as I'm passing by
Swooping down from cruising clouds, aiming for your street
Slipping through your window, moving with no feet

Invisible me
You might feel something brushing
It's only nothing
Just invisible me

Floating in the air tonight, high inside your room
And my eyes adjusting slowly to the gloom
Looking down I see a form and I know it's thee
Sleeping so softly but sleeping not with me

Invisible me
You might feel something rushing
It's only nothing
Just invisible me

"It Started With A Kiss"

"It Started With A Kiss"

It started with a kiss, in the back row of the classroom
How could I resist the aroma of your perfume
You and I were inseparable, it was love at first sight
You made me promise to marry you, I made you promise to be my bride
But you were only eight years old and I had just about turned nine
I thought that life was always good, I thought you always would be mine

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this

I remember every little thing, like fighting in the playgournd
Some good looking boys had started to hang around
That boy hurt me so bad but I was happy 'cause you cried
Still I couldn't help but notice that new distant look in your eyes
Then when you were sixteen I had just turned seventeen
I couldn't hold on to my love, I couldn't hold on to my dream

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this

You don't remember me do you?
You don't remember me do you?

Walking down the streets again, the star of my love sotry
And my heart began to beat so fast, so clear was my memory
I heard my voice call out your name as you looked then looked away
I felt so hurt, I felt so small, it was all that I could say

You don't remember me do you?
You don't remember me do you?

It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this
It started with a kiss, I never thought it would come to this

"It's All Downhill From Here"

"It's All Downhill From Here"

I was born in a crowded taxi
Daddy scooped me right up off the floor
And he carried me up the path through the big, swinging doors

I was taught not to speak to strangers
But strangers always seemed to know my name
And they bought and sold my pleasure, my disgust and my shame

Now I've got debts to pay
I've got scores to settle
Dreams at break of day
Long nights in the saddle
It's all downhill from here

Every day brings changes in the mirror
Every hand that touches me is kind
When I think of home it sparkles and so brightly shines

But I've got debts to pay
I've got scores to settle
Dreams at break of day
Long nights in the saddle
It's all downhill from here

"Just About To Break"

"Just About To Break"

Handle me with care
I'm the answer to your prayer
I, come from the great nowhere
Step back! Give me some air
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

I've been dreaming some
I'm a sleeping time bomb
When I wake it won't take long
I'll hit from here to kingdom come
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

They're gonna want to analyse me
Canonise and demonise me
Buy the rights and serialise me
Moralise and sermonise against me
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

I'm gonna rock your head
Start a burning in your bed
I'm making gold from lead
Multiplying fish and bread
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

My philosophy's eclectic
Things round here are gonna get hectic
There's no defence 'cause I got no tactics
I sing the body electric
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

The thunderstorm is just above
Every heart one day must cry enough
I'm heaven sent to spill my stuff
My heart, my heart is full of love
I'm just about to break
I'm just about to break

I'm just about to break

"Just Like Animals"

"Just Like Animals"

It's a sunny Sunday but we don't want to get out of bed
So we unplug the telephone-we've got better things to do instead
There's no one home-nobody with a name

We're just like animals, just like animals
Rolling and tumbling on and on
Just like animals, just like animals
And her loving comes on so strong

It's a long, long Monday, working my fingers down to the bone
When I get a little minute I call her up on the telephone
She says hurry home, please hurry home

We're just like animals, just like animals
Rolling and tumbling on and on
Just like animals, just like animals
And her loving comes on so strong

Driving through the crosstown traffic
No matter how I try every single light turns to red
So I turn up the radio
And watch her dancing inside my head
She moves so fine, moves so fine

We're just like animals, just like animals
Rolling and tumbling on and on
Just like animals, just like animals
Yeah her loving comes on so strong

"Keep It To Yourself"

"Keep It To Yourself"

I've been sleeping on my own
Ever since you've been away
You've been moving all around
You came home today
Maybe you've been with someone
You met after the show
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Baby I don't want to know

If you're guilty in your heart
Just try and hold your tongue
If you want to let it out
Baby save it for a song
I don't want your honesty
Or descriptions blow by blow
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Baby I don't want to know

Look around you! We're living in amazing times
They're not so important-your little crimes

I've been sleeping on my own
But I don't sleep all of the time
Twenty-four hours in one day
And sleeping's less than nine
There are many places in the sun
And many corners without you
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
And I'll keep my secrets too

"Keep On Driving"

"Keep On Driving"

Oh, the night is young
And the road is long
There’s a hanging moon
And you and me we got a thousand songs
Now the city lights are a distant glow
And the only thing, the only thing we gotta do is go
So keep on driving, keep on driving

Well, I loved a girl from spring to fall
But it’s over now and I really don’t mind at all
Such a beautiful catastrophe
And there aint no doubt she sure is glad to see the back of me
So keep on driving, keep on driving

Through the piney woods, across the rolling downs
See the church spires high above the sleeping towns
Getting closer now with every passing sign to the borderline
I’m so happy that you’re by my side
I’m so happy that you’re by my side
So keep on driving, keep on driving
