"Wasted"

"Wasted"

Her eyes are blue and her skin so white
her emails read just like a porno site
she wears her tank top way too tight
yeah, she knows it.
If she could lose her polaroids from that weekend
if she'd quit tryin' to make every boy her boyfriend
man, I think she could be president.
But it's wasted. And just like me you erased it. (oh no)

[CHORUS:]
You had the power to save my soul
I had the power to make you whole
We had the power and we had control, but we blew it.

The s--- you pulled goes 'round my head
I still see your face in every face in my bed
Tell me, was it something I said?
At the lake you lost my pretty toe ring
but in the grand scheme it doesn't really mean a thing;
you just spread your wings and you forget about it.
But, it's wasted. Like so many things, you erased it. (oh no)

[CHORUS:]
You had the power to defy my soul
I had the power to make you whole
We had the power and we had control, but we blew it
You had the power to save my soul
I had the power to make you whole
We had the power and we had control, but we blew it

You always call me when I'm at home
I try my best to drop the phone
but I'm drawn to you like a dog to a bone
And it's wasted.

"Weep No More"

"Weep No More"

You left the room, without a sound
And as you both walked out, the people still
were dancing 'round
And when you touched, did it feel so bad
You didn't pull away, but now you wish you had
My baby's sad

Weep no more, I'm here beside you, even though
you let me down
Weep no more, let my love guide you, shelter
you from all around
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Naaaaah, Na

Were you wrong? Did you go too far? Sitting with
him in the back seat of the car
Though you were young, I guess he thought you knew
Now it's just a little while before the baby's due
My baby blue

Weep no more, I'm here beside you, even though
you let me down
Weep no more, let my love guide you, shelter
you from all around
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Naaaaah, Na

"We’re Gonna Have A Good Time"

"We’re Gonna Have A Good Time"

We're gonna have a good time, it's gonna be a rock 'n' roll night
We're gonna have a good time, we're gonna play the music all night.

Come on now, get the music on
We're gonna dance and sing till the night is gone
I'm feeling good, I'm feeling better now
You can really do it and I'll show you how.

So come on, can't you hear me saying ?
Don't you think about yesterday.

We're gonna have a good time, it's gonna be a rock 'n' roll night
We're gonna have a good time, we're gonna play the music all night.

Ooh, sit down, I don't want you rocking the boat
You got your high heels shoes and your overcoat
I believe things are better now, if you just let go, I can show you how.

So come on, it's no time for sorrow
Don't you think about tomorrow.

We're gonna have a good time, it's gonna be a rock 'n' roll night
We're gonna have a good time, we're gonna play the music all night.

We're gonna have a good time, it's gonna be a rock 'n' roll night
We're gonna have a good time, we're gonna play the music all night.

We're gonna have a good time, it's gonna be a rock 'n' roll night
We're gonna have a good time, we're gonna play the music all night.

We're gonna have a good time, it's gonna be a rock 'n' roll night
We're gonna have a good time, we're gonna play the music all night.

"What Child Is This?"

"What Child Is This?"

What Child is this, who laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear: for sinners here,
The silent Word is pleading.
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,
The Cross be borne, for me, for you:
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
Come peasant, king to own Him.
The King of Kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Raise, raise, the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

"What Kind Of Fool Am I"

"What Kind Of Fool Am I"

I wonder who she's seeing tonight
Is she really going out with him
He's not her type
And doing all the things
She used to do with me
Well, I'd say something to her
But I get so jealous
When I think of her loving someone else
And I can't think why we ever let go
We must have been crazy
Tell me what kind of fool am I
To just let go,To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I, To lose you
She was cold sometimes
But she made me feel alive
She was such a spoiled baby
But baby she could love
And she loved me like nobody
Ever will again
I thought we'd be together
When the world ran down
When the curtains fell
And the lights came up
But the gods or whatever
Make the world go 'round
Shuffled when they should've cut
Tell me
What kind of fool am I
To just let go, To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
To lose you
Did it come to easy to the two of us
Did we go to wrong to ever make it right
Were we too busy checking out the left hand
That we didn't see the right
Tell me
What kind of fool am I
To just let go, To just let go like that
What kind of fool am I
Oh baby please, Oh baby please come back
I meant to say in time
Baby we can work it out
But I never meant to say goodbye
Tell me
What kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
What kind of fool am I
To lose you

"What Would The Children Think"

"What Would The Children Think"

She wakes up in the morning with the new sunrise
Looks at her husband sleeping still
Inside she cries

She makes the children breakfast
Gets them on their way
Watching them through the window
She prepares to face another day

Then her husband tells her
That he won't be home 'til late
There's so much work he'll have to stay behind

But she knows it isn't work that's on his mind
But still he'll never leave her

Cause what would the children think
Where would the children go
What would the children do
If they knew the way it was
But they'll never learn because
What would the children think
Where would the children think

At the gate she kissed him
And watched him walk
Hoping this small charade
Will stop the neighbors talk

She turns to hide a tear
Inside her gilded cage
She cries for the love she could not hold
And lost to someone half her age

Then her pride and breakin' heart
Tell her to run away
But she values what she's got a little more
Two kids, one 9 and nearly 4
And she would never leave them cause:

What would the children think
Where would the children go
What would the children do
If they knew the way it was
But they'll never learn because
What would the children think
Where would the children think

What would the children think
Where would the children go
What would the children do:.

"What's Victoria's Secret?"

"What's Victoria's Secret?"

Tell me her name, cause I really want to see her
Tell me her game, cause I need an exit strategy, oh what a tragedy
But I know she's not what's best for me and I know she'll cause me harm
And I know she'd rather fly away to someone else's arms
Oh it's true the world wants a mystery
But I need to know one thing

What's Victoria's Secret? Tell me if the clothes she wears will expose
all of my weakness, woman I just can't let go till I know
Victoria's secret, whispering her love song in my ear
Victoria's secret, will haunt me today
Do I really need to know her name

Show me that face, is it really what it claims to be
Show me that brain, is it really based in fantasy, oh it's vanity
Yeah she seems to get the best of me, of what little there is left
And it seems that she's controlling me, like a robot in a trance
And it's true we don't learn from history
But I got to know one thing

What's Victoria's Secret? Tell me if the skin she bares will expose
all of my weakness, woman I just can't let go till I know
Victoria's secret, whispering her love song in my ear
Victoria's secret, will haunt me today
Do I really need to know her

Will I find
Peace of mind
in a photograph of holidays
That little girl from yesterday
What was that name, did I ever really know her

What's Victoria's Secret? Tell me if the clothes she wears will expose
all of my weakness, woman I just can't let go till I know
Victoria's secret, whispering her love song in my ear
Victoria's secret, will haunt me today
Did I ever really know her
Victoria's secret, will haunt me today
Will you ever really know her
Victoria's secret, will haunt me today
Can we ever really know her name

"When The Lights Go Down"
(performed by Graham Parker)

"When The Lights Go Down"
(performed by Graham Parker)

What you don't know can't hurt you
What you can't see can't get in the way
You turn out the light, things get clearer
I know there'll be a night
when you can't find the switch
I'm half awake, I can't come to
My hands start to shake
As you're shaking me down

And then you give yourself away with your kiss
Up until now it was something that I missed
I get the picture, but I just can't resist
And you imagine someone else

[CHORUS]
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down

What's on your mind isn't in your arms
What's in your hands isn't really mine
I'm not really here
They're not my lips you kissed
I'm just a slave or a catalyst
Something's out of sync
Don't tell me
I'm just a link that gets pulled from the chain

And every time I get you on your own
I still feel as though I'm all alone
It's just as well I'm not made out of stone
As you imagine someone else

[Repeat Chorus]

And then you give yourself away with your kiss
Up until now I thought it was something that I missed
I get the picture, but I just can't resist
And you're seeing someone else

[Repeat Chorus]

When the lights go down
When the lights go down
When the lights go down

What you don't know can't hurt you...

"Where's All The Love"

"Where's All The Love"

My love, I was talking with a new friend
And she seemed to understand all my pain
She said, " I'll make you feel alright,
And we won't talk of money 'til the morning light"
And as I rose to leave her she said'
"I'm sorry Blue, I've got to make my living too"
And then she turned away

Where's all the love they sing about in all those love songs?
Where's all the love they talk about in all those movies?
I'd be your fool if only I could find you
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?

I lived in a mirrored resemblance of another phase...
And I miss you more and more but I go on
Living other people's lives and drifting in and out
Of bed with lawyers' wives
And all the time I know just what I'm looking for
'Cause once you lead me to the door
But I was turned away

Where's all the love they sing about in all those love songs?
Where's all the love they talk about in all those movies?
I'd be your fool if only I could find you...

Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?
Where is the love, where is the love, where is the love?
