"Long Walk Home"

"Long Walk Home"


Baby
You can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love unchains your soul
And you'll take the long walk home

Hello baby
Haven't seen you for a while
There's a shadow on your face
A lie in your smile
You sent the world away
Everything's just fine
But there's a cry for help
Behind your eyes

Baby
You can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love unchains your soul
And you'll take the long walk home

Another 5 A.M.
The cancer crawls
And you're pressed against
An invisible wall
And all the bottles are dry
And the CD's stuck
Keep hearing Johnny sing
All you need is love

Baby
You can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love unchains your soul
And you'll take the long walk home

And you can sleep the longest night
I believe you'll wake in time
To open the window wide
And breathe the brilliant light

Baby
You can pack away the moon
And pour away the ocean
You can take apart the sun
And run from everyone
You can blow out all the stars
But I know the day will come
When love unchains your soul
And you'll take the long walk home

Baby
You can light the fires of hell
And wrestle with the angels
You can pull down heaven's blue
And tear yourself in two
Before we blow each candle out
Reach into the dark
There'll be a hand to hold
And we'll take the long walk home

Baby gonna walk so slow
Through the clear white snow
I won't let your soul be broken

Baby gonna walk so slow
Through the clear white snow
I won't let your soul be broken
Yeah

"Losers"
(feat. Lissie)

"Losers"
(feat. Lissie)



There will always be someone better than you
Even if you're the best
So let's stop the competition now
Or we will both be losers

I'm ashamed I ever tried to be higher than the rest
But brother I am not alone
We've all tried to be on top of the world somehow
'Cause we have all been losers

I don't wanna be laid down
No I don't wanna die knowing
That I spent so much time when I was young
Just trying to be a winner

So I wanna make it clear now
I wanna make it known
That I don't care about any of that shit no more

Don't care about being a winner
Or being smooth with women
Or going out on Fridays
Being the life of parties
No, no more, no

There will always be someone worse than you
Sister don't let it get to your head
'Cause you won't be on top of the world so long
In constant competition

This ain't about no one in particular
But I could list a few
I'm removing myself from the queue

Don't care about being a winner
Or being smooth with women
Or going out on Fridays
Being the life of parties
Don't care about being hotter
Or being Daddy's favorite
Or if you think I'm a mimic
Or if I am a loser

Don't care about being a winner
Or being smooth with women
Or going out on Fridays
Being the life of parties
Don't care about being hotter
Or being Daddy's favorite
Or if you think I'm a mimic
Or if I am a loser

No, no more
No more
No more
No more
No more
No more

"Louise"

"Louise"


[Human League cover]

When he saw her getting of the bus
It seemed to wipe away the years
Her face was older, just a little rough
But her eyes were still so clear
He drank his coffee and he hurried out
Across before she walked away
Then he approached her like a little child
Too scared for what he had to say

"Hello, Louise,
Remember me?
Now should we part
Or stay awhile?
As if we were still lovers"

She took a moment just to recognise the man she'd known so well before
And as he started to apologise
Lose any bitterness she bore
She gently put her finger on his lips
To let him know she understood
And with her suitcase standing on the floor
Embraced him like a lover would

He told louise
"You look so good
It's just you see
You make me feel
As if we were still lovers"

It's not always true that time heals all wounds
There are wounds that you don't wanna heal
The memories of something really good
Something truly real, that you never found again

And though they talked for just a little time
Before she said she had to go
He saw the meeting as a tiny sign
That told him all he had to know

And so Louise
Waved from the bus
And as she left
She gave that smile
As if they were still lovers

"Love Calling Earth"

"Love Calling Earth"


This is love calling earth
Do you know how much it hurts?
I didn't die overnight
In the wind I had candlelight
I'm controlled by my fear
All the voices in my head
That I can hear

Please don't hurt me

How do I learn
To give love and be loved in return
If this is heaven I'm falling
I'd rather jump and run away
Than see it burn
I feel I could die
Before I sleep I kiss your cheek
And say goodbye

I'm so sorry
Please don't hurt me

This is love calling earth
Do you know how much it hurts?
I didn't die overnight
In the wind I had candlelight

I'm controlled by my fear
And all the voices in my head
That I can hear

I'm so sorry
Please don't hurt me

If you could see me through my mother's eye
Only then would you begin to realise
All the places I have ever been
Have scared me half to death or
Somewhere in-between

I'm so sorry
Please...

"Love Cheat"

"Love Cheat"


It's the end of the night
I want to know you
Get the phone, call a cab and take you home yeah
I think there's something you should know
I'll send my boys an order through Interflora
Tell you lies like "I love you" and "I adore you"
I think there's something you should know

I'm a Love Cheat
And you look so sweet
Can take you home where I live
Lay you by the fire
Love me, lady
I'm a liar

The curtain's closed
And the night is fun
I think it's time for me to not be home alone
I think I'll put the cat out and give the dog a bone
I hardly know you but I like your figure
Suppose I'll read about you in The Mirror
I think there's something everybody should know

I'm a Love Cheat
And you look so sweet
Can take you home where I live
Lay you by the fire
Love me, lady
I'm a liar

I'm a Love Cheat
And you're looking so sweet
Can take you home where I live
Lay you by the fire
Love me, lady
I'm a liar

You love me
You love me
You love me
You need me
I'm a liar
You want me
You need me
You want me
And I'm a liar

"Love Is You"

"Love Is You"


If life is a shrine
I hook on temp for the divine
If not for my spine
I wouldn't see it through

Now I like the peace
Am waiting for a heart to speak
Oh girls and freaks so'd love to you

Cos love is you, love is what you put me through
I am lost, you are too
Love is you

One minute that you fight
Then love would go and change its mind
I have lost all this truth
Loving you

Thought I had to say something
What I should have said is nothing
Kept it swept under the rug

You know I smear cos I'm in pain cos I made you sad
And you still don't understand at all

Love is you, love is what I'm going through
I have lost, you have too
Love is you

For me that you fight
Then love would go and change its mind
I have lost all that's true
Loving you

Cos love is you, love is what you made me do
I have sinken, you were too
Love is you

One minute that you fight
Then love would go and change its mind
I have lost all that truth
Loving you

"Love Somebody"

"Love Somebody"


Always and forever is forever young
Your shadow on the pavement
The dark side of the sun
Gotta dream the dream all over
And sleep here tight
You don't wanna sing the blues
In black and white

And it's hope that spring's eternal for everyone
If it ain't broken then brake it, oh, the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
There's just no pleasing me
Trying to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Lady lay your love on me

Violet in the rainbow just melt away
There's not enough minutes in the hour
Or hours in the day
The song played in a circle that never skips a beat
The stranger in a country that I have yet to meet

And it's hope that springs eternal for everyone
Got a lifetime in a second oh the damage done

Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Guess there's just no pleasing me
I want to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Lady lay your love on me

It'll come in your sweet time, Lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, Lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free

I wanna love somebody
Wanna love somebody right now
There's just no pleasing me
I wanna love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Lady, lay, lay your love on me

It'll come in your sweet time, Lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, Lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free

"Lovelight"

"Lovelight"


[Lewis Taylor cover]

What am I supposed to do
To keep from going under
Now your making holes in my heart and yes it's starting to show
I've been holding back
Is it any wonder?
Since you walked right into my life and interrupted the flow

[CHORUS]

I wanna know
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're foolin'?
Making me feel so sure
Turnin' your lovelight down again
Why don't you let me be
You don't know what you're doin'
Making me feel so sure
And turnin' your lovelight down again

Did it again, did it again
Baby I've got to know
Are we gonna make it?
Lay it down right beside me tonight and do whatever you feel
Baby your in control
Where you gonna take it?
Don't you think that I'll do you right you know darn well that I will

[CHORUS]
I wanna know
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're foolin'?
Making me feel so sure
Turnin' your lovelight down again
Why don't you let me be
You don't know what you're doin'
Making me feel so sure
And turnin' your lovelight down again

Do it again, do it again
Do it again, do it again

Baby you turn your lovelight down
And I don't know, just how long I can stick around
Gonna need more, and it ain't just physical
I dunno what I can do, if I've found that
It ain't love this time around
Keep turning down your lovelight, did it again [x4]

[CHORUS]

When ever you...
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're foolin'?
Making me feel so sure
Turnin' your lovelight down again
Why don't you let me be
You don't know what you're doin'
Making me feel so sure
And turnin' your lovelight down again

[REPEAT AND FADE]

"Mack The Knife"

"Mack The Knife"


Oh the shark babe has such pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has ol’ MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight

You know when that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears ol’ MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, Oh Sunday morning don’t you know
Lies a body just oozing life
And Someone's sneaking around the corner
Could that be our boy Mack the knife?

From a tug boat down by the river don’t you know
Lays a cement bag just dropping on down
That’s cement's there, it’s there for the weight, dear
I’ll get you ten ol’ Macky is back in town

Did you hear bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawing out all his hard earned cash
And know MacHeath spends, he spends just like a, like a sailor
Could it be, could it be, our boy did something rash?

[2x]
Jenny Diver Oh Sukey Tawdry
Look out Miss Polly Peachum and Oh Lucy Brown
Yeah the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Macky is back in town

"Make Me Pure"

"Make Me Pure"


So I sing a song
To reel 'em in
It's a song I sung before
And a song I'm gonna sing again
I mean every word
I don't mean a single one of them
Oh Lord, make me pure
- but not yet

Tell a joke
Tell it twice
If no-one else is laughing then why am I
I split my sides both times and laugh till I cry
Oh Lord, please make me pure
- but not yet

I don't have to try
I just dial it in
I've never found a job that for me was worth bothering
I got a ton of selfish genes and lazy bones
Beneath this skin
Oh Lord, make me pure
- but not yet

Smoking kills
Sex sells
I've got one hand in my pocket but the other one looks cool as hell
I know I'm gonna die so my revenge is living well
Oh Lord, make me pure
- but not yet

I stopped praying
So I hope this song will do
I wrote it all for you
I'm not perfect but you don't mind that, do you?
I know you're there to pull me through, aren't you?

So I look for love
I like the search
And I'll be standing for election all across the known universe
Every president gets the country she deserves
Oh Lord, make me pure
- but not yet

And I've been seeing
Somebody's wife
She said she'd leave him for me and I said that wasn't wise
You can't lie to a liar because of all lies
Oh Lord, please make me pure
- not yet
