"Spanish Moon"

"Spanish Moon"



One two
Well the night that I got into town
Was the night that the rain froze on the ground
Comin' down the street I heard such a sorrowful tune
Comin' from the place they called the spanish moon

Well I stepped inside, and I stood by the door
While dark-eyed girls sang and played the guitar
Hookers and hustlers, filled up the room
This was the place they called the spanish moon

Whiskey and bad cocaine
Got me on ?? train
If that don't kill me soon
The women will down at the spanish moon

Well I sold my watch and I pawned my ring
Just to hear that girl sing
'bout the news my whole ?? rose soon
'bout the news down at the spanish moon

Whiskey and bad cocaine
Got me on ?? train
If that don't kill me soon the women will down at the spanish moon
Oh oh give it

What if I said, can you get to the end it's a ?? situation
If that don't kill me soon
The women will down at the spanish moon
Oh oh, give it to me please, whoa

Well I stepped inside, and I stood by the door
A dark-eyed girl sang and played the guitar
Hookers and hustlers, filled up the room
This was the place they called the spanish moon

Whiskey and bad cocaine
Got me on ?? train
If that don't kill me soon
The women will down at the spanish moon

"Spellbound"

"Spellbound"



Spellbound, obsessed, I'm entranced, possessed
I swear by stars above
I've never been so much in love

Caught up, entwined, in your embrace, it's so divine
You are my all
No lookin back, too far to fall

Spellbound
Baby don't you know, you got me spellbound
Spellbound
Wrenched an unknown feeling from my heart
baby doll you know you keep me spellbound
I'm so high on love I won't come down

Oh oh what do we do?
You fell for me I fell for you
Bewitched, but adored
I never loved like this before

I had a dream
My wish was granted
We got a love, I never thought I'd find
Under your spell, I stay enchanted
You cast a charm
Our love is so sublime

Spellbound
Baby don't you know, you got me spellbound
Spellbound
Wrenched an unknown feeling from my heart
Baby doll you know you keep me spellbound
I'm so high on love I won't come down

Your kiss is ecstacy, so much intensity
I swear by stars above
I've never been so much in love

Spellbound
Baby don't you know, you got me spellbound
Spellbound
Wrenched an unknown feeling from my heart
Baby doll you know you keep me spellbound
I'm so high on love I won't come down

Spellbound
Baby don't you know, you got me spellbound
Spellbound
Wrenched an unknown feeling from my heart
Baby doll you know you keep me spellbound
I'm so high on love I won't come down

Spellbound
Baby don't you know, you got me spellbound
Spellbound
Wrenched an unknown feeling from my heart

"Style Kills"

"Style Kills"



I see you got yourself a brand new bag
You had enough of the imitation drag
Although you're leaping to the latest thing
You can't ignore the suspicion of a hallow ring

Big bills
Cheap thrills
Style kills

You say you set your standards way too high
So you convincingly effect a compromise
Some unsuspecting body's gonna pay
When you discover that you can't always
Have your way
Big pain, big pills, style kills
If he won't you will style kills
You say your lover's gotta a lot of nerve
'Cause he won't keep you in the style that you deserve
You kid yourself you're only marking time
Till you fulfill the revenge in the back
Of your mind
Clear out, no frills, style kills
You never take the blame for your mistakes
Why should you give anyone an even break
If he won't - you will style kills

"Sulky Girl"

"Sulky Girl"



Go tell your sister about it
Go tell your brother the same
Bet they'll only look at you sideways
And call you insane

Don't tell your mama about it
She won't see the funny side
She's only seen all her life
In terms of staying alive

Well you paint a picture
Of the whole wide world
But nobody's buyin' from
(such a sulky girl)

She wants a new brand of make-up
She can't decide what to wear
She's feels run down and
She can't do a thing with her hair

You kept me out of your payments
You got three things on the boil
You see the practice of fun
As an endless toil

Well you paint a picture
Of the whole wide world
But nobody's buyin' from
Such a sulky girl
(such a sulky girl)

Nobody gives you no leeway
They sure got a lot to learn
If they won't give you no sympathy
Wait ¡®till it's their turn

She enjoys messing her grievance
And so she pouts all day
She won't ever a smile past her lips
Until things go her way

Well you paint a picture
Of the whole wide world
But nobody's buyin' from
Such a sulky girl
(such a sulky girl)

Sulky, sulky, sulky girl
Sulky, sulky, sulky girl
Sulky, sulky, sulky girl
Sulky, sulky, sulky girl

"Sweet Lies"

"Sweet Lies"



We tell sweet lies, fooling one another
(We gain a fake upper hand)
We get outsmarted when we rediscover
We underplay

You took me in – I never minded
You broke the rules – I saw through you then

What a surprise when we turn into lovers!
(The tables turn on us)
All those sweet lies tear away the covers
And now we know not to underestimate
What hearts can do
You keep an eye on me
I'll keep an eye on you

You took me in – I never minded
You broke the rules – I saw through you then

What a surprise when we turn into lovers!
(We never guessed it could be)
All those sweet lies tear away the covers
The tables turn

"Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming"

"Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming"



Tell me I'm not dreaming
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Midnight
Images of you
You slipped
Slipped into my room
Oh, could be magic
Could be fantasy
Could it be that we're in love
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Oh your voice
Whispers in the dark
You know, you're talk
Talking to my heart
Are you with me?
Am I here with you?
Are we paradise?
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Or are you
Too good to be true
I wanna know,
Are you ooh baby
Too good to be true

Tell me I'm not dreaming
The light took me by surprise
The light coming from your eyes
Are you with me?
Am I here with you?
Are we in paradise?
Tell me I'm not dreaming
I know I've been here before
You go then and you come back for more
Oh it's a mystery
How you disappear
Like a shadow in the night
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Are you, ooh baby
Too good to be true?

Tell me I'm not dreaming
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Ohwhen the morning comes
Wake me with your love
Let me know that
I'm not dreaming baby
Will you tell me
This is real
Tell me how you feel
Say it's what we both believe in
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Are you too good to be true?

"Tennis"

"Tennis"



Lovers advantage - nobodies faults
Obeying it's a tie-break
Please don't try to overrule it
If you give me the advantage I can make a
Return off my favours

Lovers advantage - nobodies faults
Man drivin' at open
There's a hole in the rocket and a wreckage in
My package I'm swoping
She's wishing I'm hoping
Lovers advantage - nobodies faults
Make it proficient - pose in your court

Asserted four aces now it's deuce
And match and I think I really put it through a paces
Quiet please, spectators

Lovers advantage - nobodies faults
Make it proficient - pose in your court
Obeying it's a tie-break
Please don't try to overrule it
If you give me the advantage I can make a
Return off my favours

Lovers advantage - nobodies faults
Make it proficient - pose in your court
Lovers advantage - nobodies faults
Make it proficient - pose in your court
Lovers advantage - nobodies faults
Make it proficient - pose in your court

"The Long And Winding Road"

"The Long And Winding Road"



The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road

You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door

"The Silver Gun"

"The Silver Gun"


[Translation to English]
They say a man's best friend is his horse
But I say it is his gun
For what can a horseman do without a gun?
I sold my silver barrelled gun
And bought a brocade gown for my beloved
But she could not accept it
She returned it
Now I have no gun and no love

No, but with wet lashes and a charming smile
I could tell her heartache was more terrible than mine
I could stand the heartache
If I could see you again
Until then, I am alone, city to city
Walking the streets
With a heavy heart.
