"Archangel"

"Archangel"



Angel, just tell me that you'll never leave, understand
Though I know it can't always be the way we planned
I don't think about tomorrow, I just thank God
You're my angel
And you saved my life and I was suddenly free
I don't know how you came like an archangel
But now it's just you and me
I was running scared for much too long
'Til you put me back on straight

Archangel, God knows what I'd do without you
My angel, never leave me, always love me
Like an angel, Archangel

Tears drop like diamonds from your golden eyes
Weep for me archangel and wash away the lies
I've run with demons much too long
Now I thank God you're mine

Archangel, God knows what I'd do without you
My angel, never leave me, always love me
Like an angel, Archangel
Archangel, archangel, archangel, archangel, ooh-ooh

"Away In A Manger"

"Away In A Manger"



Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing,
The poor Baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus,
No crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus;
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus;
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray!
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care,
And fit us for Heaven
To live with Thee there.

Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.

"Bad Boy"

"Bad Boy"



I woke up from the drink I had
The room was dark and suddenly began to swirl
I should of heeded mother's words
She said she'd heard it said you were a naughty girl
But what does a mother know
That we really need to know
And what would she say if she knew

Na na na na you're just a Bad Boy
Who, who, who
Na na na na they'll drive you mad boy
Who, who, who
But mother, what a way to go

I looked out as the sun came up
I shook my head and said I really should be gone
I grabbed my shoes and daily news
And walked out in the heat beneath the summer sun
But father was there outside with no place to run and hide
He looked most upset as he said "Where've you been?"

Na na na na you're just a Bad Boy
Who, who, who
Na na na na they'll drive you mad boy
Who, who, who
But mother, what a way to go

But what if she'd walked in and caught us
Do you think she'd have been shocked
The way that she talked you'd think I was a daughter
Anyway the door was locked

I know that mother disagrees
But I would really like to see you again
And if you want to see me too
Then meet me in the bushes at the river bend
And no one will find us out
'Cause no one will be about
But still I can hear them all say

Na na na na you're just a Bad Boy
Who, who, who
Na na na na they'll drive you mad boy
Who, who, who
But mother, what a way to go

"Baker Street"
(originally by Gerry Rafferty)



Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold,
Its got so many people but its got no soul
And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin', you're tryin' now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin' now

Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door
He's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down
It's a quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin'
'Cause he's rollin'
He's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
The sun is shining it's a new mornin'
And you're going, you're going home

"Beautiful Feelings"

"Beautiful Feelings"



Things get stuck in my head
And they're taking me nowhere
And sometimes it's hard
Just to find what you need

But lately I'm feeling
Something good's come around
Cause she just takes me way up
And she won't let me down

And Beautiful Feelings are starting again
And all of my heartaches are starting to mend
And Beautiful Feelings are there 'til the end
So I open them up and I let them in

Well I needed to feel
That I'm destined for something
And I need to get down on my knees
More and pray
And I need to feel a warm body near mine
When I wake in the morning
Suddenly to find

That Beautiful Feelings are starting again
And all of my heartaches are starting to mend
And Beautiful Feelings are there 'til the end
So I open them up and I let them in

I get feeling guilty
For climbing too high
I'm looking for problems
That just don't apply

And Beautiful Feelings are starting again
And all of my heartaches are starting to mend
And Beautiful Feelings are there 'til the end
'Til Beautiful Feelings die

"Beautiful Prize"

"Beautiful Prize"



The father giveth, and the father taketh away,
Johanna prays in her bed,
He drinks his beer to the TV chatter,
thinks dark thoughts in his head.
When the house that he keeps with his hard won pay,
is finally asleep after his brutal day.
He turns his eyes on his beautiful prize.
Johanna watches her door open just a crack,
And a hand that once held her runs down the length of her back,
Her fallen angel lies down on her bed
So much confusion in her beautiful head,
Johanna closes her eyes.

In a house full of secrets the truth doesn't matter,
Johanna buries her shame and dreams of redemption
They just scatter, she grows numb to the pain
She can't remember how it was before
She doesn't know who she is anymore
She's in disguise as his beautiful prize.

Johanna watches her life from the outside
and she dreams that one day she'll fly free from this mess,
She's a hawk trying to soar with a broken wing,
She doesn't talk anymore about anything
She just closes her eyes.

She just can't stand his anger, she just can't bear his heat,
She takes a long hard look at life on the street, yeah
In a house full of secrets the truth doesn't matter
Any dreams of salvation, they just shatter

Johanna watches the world from the outside,
and she dreams of the day she'll fly free of this mess,
She doesn't know what she's waiting for,
Because there's nothing left in this house anymore
and in his eyes she's just a beautiful prize.

"Beautiful You"

"Beautiful You"


Met her on a Monday, I probably should have stayed in bed
But Cupid came to stay, and he set up shop inside my head

[Chorus:]
Beautiful you
You don't have a clue
You star in the story of my life
Beautiful you
Beautiful you
You took me down on my own knife

Bareback, my black, bloody celebration day
On your body, thank God I never had the nerve to say

[Chorus:]
Beautiful you
You don't have a clue
You star in the story of my life
Beautiful you
Beautiful you
You took me down on my own knife

And you make me feel
But I thought it was real
Beautiful you

Feels like a Sunday I think I'll just stay in bed

[Chorus:]
Beautiful you
You don't have a clue
You star in the story of my life
Beautiful you
Beautiful you
You took me down on my own knife

[Chorus:]
Beautiful you
You don't have a clue
You are the writer in my head
Beautiful you
Beautiful you
You took me down on my bed

Feels like a Monday I think I'll just stay in bed

"Believe In Me"

"Believe In Me"



They'll be a time when everyone is left alone,
and I'll have mine
There is no doubt when everyone has worn me out and gone
When everybody's had their fill, she'll be waiting,
she's waiting still
And though she doesn't know I know,
I know she wouldn't mind

Cause having someone believe in me, is all I need to know
And standing all alone, is not the way I want to go

And if I get to be a star, or maybe no where near that far
I know that either way it doesn't matter much to her
And if I'm on my dying bed and suddenly my life is bled away from me,
I know she'll shed a tear because she cares

Cause having someone believe in me, is all I need to know
And standing all alone, is not the way I want to go

And if I get to be a star, or maybe no where near that far
I know that either way it doesn't matter much to her
And if I'm on my dying bed and suddenly my life is bled away from me,
I know she'll shed a tear because she cares

Cause having someone believe in me, is all I need to know
And standing all alone, is not the way I want to go

"Big Beautiful Friday Night"

"Big Beautiful Friday Night"



Another day passes like a ghost
Wishing you were any place but here
From your prison cell of flesh and bone
you send a prayer on it's suicide last flight
into the air - into the rain
and it sends you nothing back again

Hey Maria its a big beautiful Friday night
Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah

Day to day and coast to coast
everything seems anything but clear
Inside your skin of steel and stone
your need for somebody wakes you late at night
but there's something there you can't explain
as you come in bed alone again.

Hey Maria, it's a big beautiful Friday night.
Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah
Hey Maria, why don't we drink like we just don't care tonight?
Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah

Life is a perfect song with a fractured beat.
Yeah its a one way sign on a dead end street.

Hey Maria you sure look beautiful tonight

Hey Maria it's a big beautiful Friday night
Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah.
Hey Maria don't let it be so complicated tonight.
Yeah Maria - hey na na hey na na na yeah.

"Black Is Black"

"Black Is Black"



Black Is Black, I want my baby back
And gray is gray since she went away
Oh oh, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue

If I had my way, she'd be here today
But she'd go in time and leave me to cry again
Oh no, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue

I can't choose, there's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me
Then I can't go wrong

Bad is bad, that I feel so sad
It's time, it's time, that I found peace of mind
Oh oh, what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue

I can't choose, there's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Maybe if she would come back to me
Then I can't go wrong

Black Is Black, I want my baby back
And gray is gray since she went away
Oh oh what can I do, cause I, I'm feeling blue
Cause I, I'm feeling blue, cause I, I'm feeling blue
