How Could I Fall

How Could I Fall

How could I fall for someone so superficial?

Funny how the things that you can never have
Needle you more
Tired of standing in the rain
Praying for sunshine again

I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
How could I fall
If I could

Our love was like the wind
We blew it away
Tired of dealing with your games
Praying I'll never need you again

I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
We could have loved so much
Why didn't we try to make it right
Would it have been enough
If I could

I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
How could I fall
If I could

I Won't Feel Bad

I Won't Feel Bad

If I said you were evil
You'd knock me off my feet
If I said you're a good girl
You'd bore me off my seat
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men

I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine

I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad

It's written in the books
In the literature that I've read
Temporary blindness
Breezing through the fog again
You'll never see me walking
Down a guilty middle-class street
I'm frequently appalled
By them pretending to be poor men

I'd give you all I can now
I don't have enough arms for you
Ask the people with the real cash
Institutions who are taking yours and mine

I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad

I never get enough of it

I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad
I won't feel guilty, I won't feel bad

Bad Bad Bad!!!

If You Don't Know Me By Now

If You Don't Know Me By Now

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

All the things
That we've been through
You should understand me
Like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference
Between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing
To break up our happy home
Don't get so excited
When I come home
A little late at night
Cos we only act like children
When we argue fuss and fight

If you don't know me by now
You will never never never know me

We've all got our
Own funny moods
I've got mine,
Woman you've got yours too
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye

If you don't know me by now
You will never
Never never know me

Infidelity

Infidelity

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

Your call has been registered
It'll be returned when I get back home
I've been out loving all night long
I can't help it, that love it makes me strong

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

Ask me all the questions you need
I don't tell lies, my conscience don't bleed
You'll get all the time I can give
As long as you respect my freedom to live

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

I just can't be trusted

A kick in the ribs for the arrival late at night
So late in the evening you could see the morning light
When you're sat up alone and you wonder where I've been
You can pick up my belongings and tell me where I can take them

When a man just can't be trusted
And again he's gone and lost it

I just can't be trusted

Infidelity

Money In My Pocket (Plan B Mix)

Money In My Pocket (Plan B Mix)

Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
I'm praying for
A girl to be my own

Soon you said she coming but I don't believe a word she say
Cause she run away and left me one rainy day
She made me had in mind
That her love would never die
And now I'm alone, so alone
So alone, yeah, yeah

Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
Money in my pocket but I just can't get no love
The love I had in mind
Was very, very hard to find

It's hard for a man to live without a woman
And a woman needs a man to cling to
You'll see what love can do
After making me feel blue
Ain't that a shame, whoa baby
Ain't that a shame
To make me feel blue

I've got money in my pocket

Money's Too Tight To Mention

Money's Too Tight To Mention

I been laid off from work
My rent is due
My kids all need
Brand new shoes

So I went to the bank
To see what they could do
They said son - looks like bad luck
Got-a hold on you

[Chorus:]
Money's too tight to mention
I can't get an un-em-ploy-ment ex-ten-sion
Money's too tight to mention

I went to my brother
To see what he could do -
He said bro-ther like to help you
But I'm unable to
So I called on my fa-ther fa-ther
Oh my fa-ther
He said

[Chorus:]
Money's too tight to mention
Oh mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
I can't even qual-i-fy for my pension

We talk a-bout rea-gan-on-ics
Oh lord down in the con-gress
They're passing all kinds - of bills
From down cap-it-ol hill - (we've tried them)

[Chorus:]
Money's too tight to mention
[spoken] cut-back!
Mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' 'bout the dollar bill
Now what are we all to do
When the mon-ey's got a hold on you?
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
Oh mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey mon-ey
Mo-ney's too tight to mention
A-mero - mon-ey oh yeah
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey
We're talk-in' a-bout mon-ey mon-ey:..

Remembering The First Time

Remembering The First Time

Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling

Sitting here glad as I am
With your photograph, I hold it in my hands
Aching for a vision of you, you're right in front of me
Looking at the photograph, and the way you were looking at me

I was just remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love

Sitting here looking at the table
It's just like a photograph
There's you and me, fruit, drink, good food
Oh the things we did, the things we did
From the shower we took to the very first look

Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love

You're rich, you're beautiful, you're in love
How wonderful life can be
Just the way you wanted it to be
Yet I am the colour of the night
I am the colour of the night
If you could only make it right
If you could only make it right

Remembering the first time we made love
I was just recalling
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
I will never forget you girl
Remembering the first time we made love
Remembering the first time we made love
Love you, love you, love you girl
Remembering the first time we made love

Something Got Me Started

Something Got Me Started

Something got me started
You know that I will love you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you

I'd give it all up for you
(Yes I would)

Totally broken-hearted
Guilty of what I did to you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you

I'd give it all up for you
(Yes I would)

You've got to help me, help me,help me

Words For Girlfriends

Words For Girlfriends

Do I feel jealousy when you're free without me?
Maybe
Do I feel that my love will stay with you forever?
Hopefully
In memoriam of my lovers will you sleep with me forever?
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you

You surround yourself with trinkets like they're meaningful possessions,
baby
Like some squirrel in the garden with expensive permutations,
Save me
They'll outlive you in the end will be your final realisation
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you

Words for girlfriends parading as songs
to be living with songs, yet without you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
'Though I never ever really did doubt you, no...

As we search our lives forever for perfection in relations,
Ladies
I can dream of love and scheme of love with all its complications,
Shakily
Ideals are fine for beauty but for love they fool relations
Oh most certainly I never did doubt you

Words for girlfriends parading as songs
to be living with you, yet without you
Words for girlfriends parading as songs
'Though I never ever really did doubt you,
No I never ever really did doubt you

As we search our lives forever for perfection in relations,
Ladies
I can dream of love and scheme of love with all its complications...

They're just words, only words

It's Only Love

It's Only Love

It's only love
It's only love

Don't be afraid to touch me babe
Girl let's be real
There's nothing wrong
With the way we're carrying on
So enjoy and live
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're giving

I wanna stay with you night and day
Until the end of time
It's OK when you lay
Lay your body next to mine
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're giving
