"Best Of Both Worlds"

"Best Of Both Worlds"



We want the best of both worlds
We want it slow and hot
We like to taste revenge, yeah
But we can't waste the shot

We want to see from both sides
We like it cool and fast
We want to get it over
We like to make it last

Keep it on
It's getting closer
The best of both worlds
Double fun

We'll make the most, girl
To get the best of both worlds
We must obey the law
What good's a place to stand up
Without a place to fall?

Two and one
Fast and slow girl
The best of both worlds
Double fun
I'd like to now propose a toast
To the best of both worlds

I think about the war that is no fight at all
I think about the peace that is a fight for all
The best of both worlds
Keep it on
Fast and slow girl
The best of both worlds
Tight as a drum, loose as a gun holster
Yeah, it's getting closer

Why do we waste our breath, child
On what we like the most
Seeing as we've wound up here
We ought to do them both

Back and forth
We get the most
Yeah, the best of both worlds
South and north
I'd like to now propose a toast
To the best of both worlds
Two and one
Fast and slow girl
The best of both worlds
Double fun
We'll make the most girl to get the best of both worlds

"Between Us"

"Between Us"



Hold me now; 'til the world turns away
Show me how here in this dream
We might always stay
We belong to each other
One embrace sealed our fate,
Here in your arms, feeling the love
That we generate everytime we caress
Look around; -there's a will, there's a way
Dream while I ever so tenderly kiss your face,
All the love passing between us
Hold me now; 'til the world turns away
Show me how here in this dream
We might always stay
To this love we surrender

"Big Trouble"

"Big Trouble"



Don't move...

Just one false move and you're dead meat
You know you're running out of luck
You won't admit it when you're beat
You see me comin' better duck

Big trouble, I'll lay you to waste
Big trouble, gonna pick a bone with you
Big trouble, gonna drop the bomb, baby
Big trouble, runnin' out of patience
Big trouble, eat away at your nervous system

You know I've got you in my sights
Saw your emotions run amok
Had an anxiety attack
You were surprised when panic struck

No ammunition, a war of nerves
I'll steal your thunder
War of attrition, watch you submerge

You're goin' under
You need it, you lose it, you love it, you gotta have it

I'm gonna find your breaking point
You like to practice self-deceit
I'll knock your nose right out of joint
The demolition of your whole world
War of attrition

Big trouble, this is the right place
Big trouble, come on, do your worst
Big trouble, rub me up the wrong way
Big trouble, punch a hole in your argument

I see you're spoiling for a fight
I'll pick you off and rub you out
All your big talk is obsolete
No one to hear you scream and shout
I'll give you fire, a war of nerves
War of attrition, the demolition of your whole world
I'll steal your thunder

"Blackmail"

"Blackmail"


Well you told me that you weren't infectious
So I brought no precautions with me
And you said your old man was in texas
And anyway he'd forgotten his key
So I put my cassette in your bathroom
And threw all my clothes on your floor
Next thing, door burts open
And there I am caught in the raw
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don't think it's funny
The way you've been badgering me
So I'm hiding out in the basement
Wondering how on earth I'm gonna survive
Well your old man hollers
I've got ten thousand dollars for you
Coz I know you can provide
Leaving me with grounds for my divorce
Pulls out his chequebook and starts to endorse
Two benjamin franklins
And before I can thank you mama
??
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Rendering you a service
Makes me feel real nervous
Trying to get me into your sceams
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don't think it's funny
Way you done the dirty on me
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don't think it's funny
The way you've been badgering me
Blackmail
You're blackmailing me
Spongeing all my money
I don't think it's funny
Way you've done the dirty on me

"Can We Still Be Friends"

"Can We Still Be Friends"


We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends?
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know, it's all gone
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends?
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends?
It's a strange sad affair
Sometimes seems that we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together
Dannana [etc],
Can we still be friends
Can we still get together sometimes?
Hey babe, can we still go on?
We awoke from our dream,
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad, old song
Dannana [etc],
Can we still be friends

"Captured"

"Captured"



Easier said than done
I should have known that the best was yet to come
As the object of my affection
Would I dare confess to you?
Fantasies that haunt me
Dreams of how our passions could be set free
Magic nights we'd share
I never knew you'd care
Quite like you said you did

You captured my heart

How many times did I try to say
It will be easier just to walk away
But at the mercy of my obsession
Didn't dare confess to you
How I long for you to want me
To my fantasies you hold the key
Passions that we'd share
I never knew you'd care quite like you said you did

You captured my heart

You dazzled me blind
Oh we're flying high
A perfect love to find

You captured my heart

Oh please say you want to stay with me forever
How I long to kiss your lovely face, pretty baby
Every night you haunt my dreams
There's no need to fantasize, you're here with me
Since I captured your heart

Captured captured my heart
Captured my heart

Captured captured my heart
Captured my heart

Captured captured my heart
Captured my heart

Captured captured my heart
Captured my heart

"Casting A Spell"

"Casting A Spell"



LA'-LA-E/LA-LA'-E'
Oi
Maria mondou me dizer
Maria mondou me dizer
Nao (eu) quero falar com voce
Oi

She's just testing her wings
And if you give in to her, you'll be
Just another feather in her cap
She'll drop you in a flash

She's casting a spell
She's casting a spell
Well if she's casting a spell
I can cast one as well

So I said, no no no
I ain't falling for this

This girl is built to tease
She's only testing
The efficiency of her kiss

She's casting a spell
Well if she's casting a spell
I can cast one as well

She wants to check out how
You check out on her test-bed
Will you get in her book
Or will you go right to her head

She's casting a spell
Well if she's casting a spell
I can cast one as well

And so I cast it right back on her
Don't you know my luck
She fell under the influence
And then the thunder struck

Now we're casting a spell
We're casting a spell
You can cast one as well

"Chance"

"Chance"



Fate, light as air
So, I suppose
Chance follows you everywhere

No self-reproach
So self-contained
Say, how you move, love was true

Chance follows you everywhere

"Change His Ways"

"Change His Ways"



Deep in the jungle, he lost her favour
Another gambit-he would have made her
He gave her perfume-she used his razor
And decided to change his ways
She was a gambler-he didn't blame her;
She had a dimple in her favour
At the last minute, he always chased her
And decided to change his ways
Life would be so much more exciting
If we could live it day to day
We could at least adjust the lighting
To illuminate the way
He took the loving that she'd been craving
She took advantage of the saving;
It almost ruin her reputation
And decided to change his ways
She wasn't crazy 'bout his behaviour;
She read it somewhere in the paper;
He was seducing a ballerina
And decided to change his ways

"Charanga"

"Charanga"



Gamble everything on the feeling
You'll win every time
You'll find that Charanga leaves you
Reeling like a case of wine

(We'll dance Charanga all day time and night time)
(We'll dance Charanga the rest of our lives)
(Ay Charanga dance the night away)
(Ay Charanga come on yeah)
(Charanga ...)

Throw your caution into the wind and let it fly
Come on let your worries all disappear
Take a chance and let the wheel spin
Let your bet ride
Don't you wish the night would
Go on for years?

(Come dance the Charanga, yeah now)
(A little bit closer)
(Let's groove on this all-night party)
(As much as the law allows)
(Charanga ...)

Do something that'll make her
Feel real good
Say something that'll make her smile
Say something that'll make you understood
Do something with a little style

(Girl you're such a sexy thing)
(Ooh you make my spirit sing)
(And your close proximity)
(Oh it has affected me)
(I can feel this rhythm swing)
(With no encouraging)
(And your sensuality)
(Mm - it overpowers me)
(Charanga ...)
