"Make Me Stay A Bit Longer"

"Make Me Stay A Bit Longer"


When you look at me tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words, or do they go straight through you?

We get it together now and then
But I can feel we won't again
Still I can't stop this endless strain of you

Listen to my words and talk the sadness that I bring you
I'll leave you today, 'cos I am nothing to you

Oh-oh make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
Make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone

When you look at me tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words, or do they go straight through you?

Oh-oh make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
Make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone.

"Making Waves"

"Making Waves"


When I was a young boy nothing much mattered to me
You were a girl and a half and you saw yourself a mystery
We got together for a while, I did everything you wanted me to
Well I tried and you lied, I was left here back in the blue

If you're gonna run, are you gonna run today?
Is it because I'm out on the road?
You never had it good, you never had it anyway
More more more making waves

I was always right there when you wanted to play
You were living in a scene from a dream every night and day
And I never found a way to make it better for you
Oh I tried and I tried but you left me back in the blue

If you're gonna run, are you gonna run today?
Is it because I'm out on the road?
You never had it good, you never had it anyway
More more more making waves

What you gonna do now? Nothing left, nothing to say
Well I must have been a fool to believe in you anyway
When I tried to find a way or something that I could do
You threw it all in my face and you left me back in the blue

If you're gonna run, are you gonna run today?
Is it because I'm out on the road?
You never had it good, you never had it anyway
More more more making waves

If you're gonna run, are you gonna run today?
Is it because I'm out on the road?
You never had it good, you never had it anyway
More more more making waves

"Man Overboard"

"Man Overboard"


There's a hole in my bed where I ain't seen you for days
Got a pain in my head 'cos I'm back to my bad old ways
I can't get out, you won't come in
And you can't see the state I'm in
On top of it all, my A string's gone again

Everyday I'm a-wasting away, it's oh so bad
My mind's gone dead and my eyes are red, it's oh so sad
Nobody calls, they've had enough
I've got to stop myself drinking this stuff
On top of it all, my A string's gone again

Oh no, oh no, man overboard you know, and I'm gonna drown
Oh no, oh no, I'm wrecking myself and I'm running around

Save my soul, I said save my soul
Ooh save my soul, I'm losing my grip
I think I'm gonna slip, oh

I gotta do something or I might as well be living in hell
I gotta find someone who can break me away from this spell
It's getting to me, it's bringing me down
I'm cold and I'm lonley since you ain't around
And on top of it all, my A string's gone again

Oh no, oh no, man overboard you know, and I'm gonna drown
Oh no, oh no, I'm wrecking myself and I'm running around

Save my soul, save my soul
Save my soul, I'm losing my grip
I think I'm gonna slip, oh

"Marguerita Time"

"Marguerita Time"


Captured my heart, captured my memory
Captured a time for me, I could see
A time for me was gonna be
Deep in my heart, deep in my memory
Deep in a part of me, heart of me
Meant to be history
Could it be that I'm still wondering

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

Picture a dream, picture a fantasy
Picture the mood of me, mystery
You and me, a mystery
Lost in a dream, lost in a fantasy
Lost in what seemed to be dreams to me
Seemed to be, had to be
Couldn't find no other reason

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

Let's have a drink, it's Marguerita time
It's Marguerita time, after nine
Summertime, anytime
You'll still always find me wondering

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

"Mean Girl"

"Mean Girl"


Now I'm a sad one, and she was a bad one
A mean, mean girl
I never had one as greedy as that one
A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
She said I was the first but there were many more

She was a big one, a met-at-a-gig once
A mean, mean girl
I felt a sick one, she was a quick one
A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
She said I was the first but there were many more

Now I'm a sad one, and she was a bad one
A mean, mean girl
I never had one as greedy as that one
A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
She said I was the first but there were many more

She was a big one, a met-at-a-gig once
A mean, mean girl
I felt a sick one, she was a quick one
A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
She said I was the first but there were many more

"Memphis Tennessee"

"Memphis Tennessee"


Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry-home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, and information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

"Mister Mind Detector"

"Mister Mind Detector"


Hey Mr. Mind Detector
Use your power to find what's going on
Hey Mr. Mind Detetctor
Gonna blow my mind before too long
Gotta find a way to learn infinity
Gotta find a way to make you save my sanity

Look into my mind an you will
Find a world of magic mystical
Images of endless beauty
Hypnotising, motorising shadows
Gotta find a way to let her know I'm here
Gotta find a way to make her want to have me near

Hey Mr. Mind Detector
Use your power to find what's going on
Hey Mr. Mind Detetctor

"Money Don't Matter"

"Money Don't Matter"


Beat life, I'm doing it all
Looking after number one is the call
What's life doing for you?
Shouldn't we be asking what we can do?
That's life, we give and we take
It's how it should be, not "I want it now"
Won't someone please show me how
We can get to it, place our bet, do it
We can get to it now

Money don't matter, money don't matter
Money don't matter, tell it to your brother
Money don't matter, money don't matter
If money don't matter, tell me why we bother

No time, and don't understand
Why won't everybody do what they can
This time running away
Isn't gonna make it better today
Next time, making your day
Isn't gonna be so easy to say
Won't someone show me the way

We can get to it, place our bet, do it
We can get to it now

Money don't matter, money don't matter
Money don't matter, tell it to your brother
Money don't matter, money don't matter
If money don't matter, tell me why we bother

Money don't matter, money don't matter
Money don't matter, tell it to your brother
Money don't matter, money don't matter
If money don't matter, tell me why we bother

It makes me mad
And sometimes sad
It makes me think that what has been done so far
Makes no difference at all

Money don't matter, money don't matter
Money don't matter, tell it to your brother
Money don't matter, money don't matter
If money don't matter, tell me why we bother

Oh, money don't matter, money don't matter
Money don't matter, tell it to your brother
Money don't matter, money don't matter
If money don't matter, tell me why we bother

"Mortified"

"Mortified"


Got to keep your nose clean
Got to keep your underwear dry
Rooted to the spot here
Never ever never say die
Ticket's in my passport
Passport's on the bedroom floor
Money's in my sneakers
Sneakers's what I'm looking for

Can't get in, I can't get in
I can't get in, my key's inside
I can't break in, I can't break in
I can't break in, I'm mortified, oh-oh

Got to find a spare part
Got to keep it spinning round
Think I'm getting cold feet
Think I'll take it lying down

Mummy's in the bath tub
Daddy's losing money at darts
Need a can of wotsname
Reaches all the other parts
Got to keep your nose clean
Got to keep your underwear dry
Rooted to the spot here
Never ever never say die

I can't get in, I can't get in
I can't get in, my key's inside
Can't break in, I can't break in
I can't break in, I'm mortified, oh-oh

Can't get in, I can't get in
I can't get in, my key's inside
I can't break in, I can't break in
I can't break in, I'm mortified, oh-oh
I can't get in, I can't get in
I can't get in, my key's inside
I can't break in, I can't break in
I can't break in, I'm mortified, oh-oh
