"Party Heart"

"Party Heart"


You've got a party heart, a gay time party heart
You're only happy when the party's going on
And it makes me sad because I know that party's have to end
And when this party's over, you'll be gone

I love your party heart your playful party heart
But though you make me laugh you also make me cry
Cos I know you only think of me as just a party friend
And when the party's done you'll say goodbye

A playtime girl like you plays lots of thrills in life it seems
But oh, what I'd ever give to be the playboy of your dreams
I'd tame your party heart, your fickle party heart
And someday that's just what some party boy will do

But I love you so, I guess that I'll cry just as much as you
When someone breaks your party heart in two
When someone breaks your party heart in two
When someone breaks your party heart in two...

"Penny Arcade"

"Penny Arcade"


A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
And, stirring the night, loud music played
The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade.

"Step up and play," each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the penny arcade.
"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
And you'll make all the coloured lights cascade."

And music played in the penny arcade.
Yes, it played and it played, played all the time
"Roll up and spend your last dime!"

At first I thought it a dream that I was in.
Lost , lost in a sea of glass and tin.
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans,
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines.

"Step up and play," each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the penny arcade.
"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
And you'll make all the coloured lights cascade."

"Step up and play," each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the penny arcade.
"Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
And you'll make all the coloured lights cascade."

"Roll up and spend your last dime!
Roll up and spend your last,
Roll up and spend your last,
Roll up and spend your last dime!"

"Pistolero"

"Pistolero"


Pistolero Pistolero, where do you ride?
Pistolero Pistolero, you ride alone tonight.
One of brothers five one day vowed to try to make his way,
Joined the cattle drive to Mexico, threw in with some bandidos,
Here he learned the lingo, killed the man they call him Pistolero.
Five thousand pesos they put on your head.
Five thousand pesos to get you alive or dead.
Ride on ride hard in vaquero, fast as you can to her side.
Ah, but por mucho dinero, el noveno por nada have died.

Pistolero Pistolero, where do you roam?
Pistolero Pistolero, on your way home.
Everytime a candle burns, waiting there for your return.

The candle is out Pistolero, I see the cabin down below.
Pistolero let her go, tonight you're mine Pistolero.
Five thousand pesos they put on your head.
Five thousand pesos to get you alive or dead.
Ah Pistolero look around you, your son has set in the sky.
Oh Pistolero I found you, kiss Maria tell Maria goodbye.
Pistolero Pistolero, lay your head down.
Pistolero Pistolero, six feet underground.

"Plain Jane Country"

"Plain Jane Country"


I read your letter just this morning
The first you've wrote since you've been gone
You've finally found yourself a home

You've bought a new car, a great big red one
With a top that rolls right down
You must be something in san fransisco
A dressed up, painted country clown

You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell
You're plain jane country come to town
The pace is too fast and you're out of your class
You're plain jane country come to town

You know I love you, at least you ought to
I've loved you all of my livin' days
You got no business makin' changes
Yeah girl, I love your country ways

Go sell that red car, catch an airplane
And I'll be waiting when you land
Yeah, get a white dress, find a preacher
We'll get some rings to fit your hand

You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell
You're plain jane country come to town
The pace is too fast and you're out of your class
You're plain jane country come to town
You're plain jane country come to town
You're plain jane country come to town

"Poor Baby"

"Poor Baby"


Glittery eyes; witchy smiles
A good time is all you are after
Skin tight thighs; little white lies
Put you in the center of the laughter

But your reign of queen is over
Your fortress has been broken down
You're still the center of the laughter
But your role has changed to the clown

[Chorus:]
Ooh poor baby
Someone broke your heart in two
Ooh poor baby
Who would have thought it could happen to you
Poor baby

A pretty face; sweet talkin' ways

Got you a part of the action
A come-over-touch, glances and such
You always had to be the main attraction

Now you're the one who's crying
You lost at your own lonely game
You're still the center of attraction
But now I'm gone, you've got yourself to blame

[Chorus]

Ooh poor baby
Someone broke your heart in two
Ooh poor baby
You let someone get much too close to you
Poor baby
Poor baby, poor baby
Poor baby, poor baby

"Pretty One"

"Pretty One"


Hey there, pretty one,
Take a look at what you've done.
You've broken my heart in two.

You told a hundred lies
To as many other guys,
Oh lovely, unfaithful pretty one.

Someday,when you're older
And your future has past,
You will find that your beauty
And loveliness won't last.

When the traces of time
Show in every line,
Remember I still love you
Pretty one, pretty one, pretty one.

Hey there pretty one,
Take a look at what you've done.
You've broken my heart in two.

You told a hundred lies
To as many guys,
Oh lovely, unfaithful pretty one.

Someday, when you're older
And you future has passed
You will find that your beauty
And your loveliness won't last.

When the traces of time
Show in every line,
Remember I still love you
Pretty one, pretty one, pretty one.

"Pretty Paper"

"Pretty Paper"


(The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by

Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

"Problem Child"

"Problem Child"


Well my heartbeat is running wild
Because of you my problem child
Oh-oh baby, don't be running wild
Well cool off baby, don't be a problem child

Well don't you see this shakin' spree
Is bound to be the death of me
Oh baby, don't be running wild
Well cool off baby, don't be a problem child

Well my heartbeat is runnin' wild
Because of you my problem child
Oh baby, don't be running wild
Control yourself, don't be a problem child

Well don't you see this shakin' spree
Is bound to be the death of me
Oh baby, don't be running wild
Well cool off baby, don't be a problem child

Well then I'm gone, that's all she wrote
You'll sing this same song
Oh baby, don't be running wild
Control yourself, you're a problem child

Ooh, Problem child, running wild
Problem child, running wild
Problem child, running wild
Problem child, running wild
Oh baby,you're a problem child

Slow down girl, down
Slow down girl, down
down girl, down
Slow down girl, down...

"Rainbow Love"

"Rainbow Love"


I looked behind a silver cloud, I found a pretty rainbow there
I walked out to the rainbow's end and found a rainbow love
The one that I was looking for, the dream that I was dreaming of
There, down at the rainbow's end I found a rainbow love

I found my pot of gold, my rainbow love
Just you and all your loving, charming rainbow love
I searched, hoped someday I'd find someone to bring me peace of mind
I found what I've been dreaming of when I found my rainbow love

I found my pot of gold, my rainbow love
Just you and all your loving, charming rainbow love
I searched, hoped someday I'd find someone to bring me peace of mind
I found what I've been dreaming of when I found my rainbow love
