"They Are All In Love"

"They Are All In Love"

Where do you walk on sunny times
When the rivers gleam and the buildings shine
How do you feel goin' up hallowed halls
And the summer clothes brighten gloomy halls

And they're all in love
And they're all in love

Where do you fit in zzzzip magazine
Where the past is the hero and the present a queen
Just tell me right now where do you fit in
With mud in your eye and a passion for gin

And they're all in love
And they're all in love

Hey, goodbye all you punks
Stay young and stay high
Hand me my checkbook
And I'll crawl out to die

But like a woman in childbirth
Grown ugly in a flash
I'm seen magic and fame
Now I'm recycling trash

And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love

"They Made My Dream Come True"

"They Made My Dream Come True"

People died where I performed
People cried when Glass deformed
Shots rang out as the singer yawned
The band played on until the dawn

Lies and drunks and drugs and fools
Tricks and stunts disguise the tools
Was the victim dead, was the blood in pools
Was this not part of show-biz rules?

They made my dream come true

The holiday's forever

"Too Much Of Anything"

"Too Much Of Anything"

I think these hands have felt a lot
I don't know, what have I touched
I think these eyes have seen a lot
I don't know, maybe they've seen too much

I think this brain has thought a lot
Searching, trying to find the crutch
I think this heart has bled once too often
This time it's bled a bit too much

Too much of anything is too much for me
Too much of everything gets too much for me

I can't remember before '49
But I know '48 was there
My ears let in what I should speak out
Hmmm, there's something in the air

I've overloaded on my way
Bye bye, you better keep in touch
I think your ears hear a whole lot of music
And like me you've heard a bit too much

Too much of anything, is too much for me
Too much of everything gets too much for me

I think these hands have felt a lot
I don't know, what have I touched?
I think these eyes have seen a lot
I don't know, maybe they've seen too much

I think this brain has thought a lot
Searching, I've tried to find the crutch
I think this heart has bled once too often
This time it's bled a bit too much

Too much of anything, is too much for me
Too much of everything gets too much for me

"Trick Of The Light"

"Trick Of The Light"

Wide awake in the middle of the night
I wonder how she's feelin'
Is it just a trick of the light
Or is her ceiling peeling?

She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her head
At a copy of "True Confessions"
Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale
To a woman of her profession

But was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
Or was it just another trick of the light?

But was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
Or was it just another trick of the light?

Come on, tell me
What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this?
They don't make girls like you no more
And I'd like to get to know you
On closer terms than this
But I guess you've heard it all before

Lady of the night
Won't you steal away with me?
Lady of the night
Won't you steal away with me?

The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at me
Shakes her head and sighs
Out of time, out the door
Red light shinin' in my eyes

But was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

All right?
But was I all right?
All right?

"Trilby's Piano"

"Trilby's Piano"

Your mother loves her brother
But her brother loves his lover
And his lover is my cover
My one and only other - my angel

My angel Trilby
Who said I will be
What I should still be
Genius would fill me - she loves Hymie

Only one Hymie
No one else on earth could ever blind me - like this
Or even find me - such bliss
If you were gone
You'd still be here

Only one Hymie
Why can't they see that life excites me
This boy ignites me
His family fights me
But he's still here

Only one Hymie...

"Two Thousand Years"

"Two Thousand Years"

Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Have I waited

To ask if I have loved you
To know if I have served you
To find if I've obeyed you
To know if I've betrayed you

Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousnad years
Have I waited

Then find I can't be perfect
Not even a perfect snake
To know that we are hated
You suffer for my sake

Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Two thousand years
Have I waited

And so I have a chance to love
As you intended
You really lived and died for me
Is the waiting really ended

Two thousand years
Long, long years
Long, long, long, long years
I have waited
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years
Two thousand long, long years

"Unholy Trinity"

"Unholy Trinity"

Three kids from the neighborhood
Three different lives
Three different ways to be
The identical smiles

We're not the same
But we can talk
We kiss and link our arms
We take a walk

We watch the tide ever way
Carry our ides through the sea
We hear the music
Remember being free

We are unholy trinity
And love forever
But we are the sea
We are the ocean
We are the free
We are unholy trinity

"Water"

"Water"

The foreman over there hates the gang
The poor people on the porch get it so rough
The truck driver drives like a devil
The policemen - they're acting so tough
They need water
Good, good water
We need water
And I'm sure there ain't one of us here
Who'd say, "no" to somebody's daughter
(No... no.... no... no... no...)

Sampson seems sorta sweaty
The draftsmen- they smudged their work
The captain of a ship is swimming
Then just wore off a keen bank clerk

We need water
Good, good water
We need water
And maybe somebody's daughter

C'mon, gimme good water
C'mon, gimme good water
C'mon, gimme good water
Please don't refuse me, mister
I've seen your daughter at the oasis
And I'm beginning to blister

A Chevrolet just made steam
Your crop is laying foul
My grass skirt's lost its green
I'm alive, but I don't know how

We need water
Good, good water
We need water
And maybe somebody's daughter

Gimme good water

Indian Lake is burnin'
New York's skyline is hazy
The River Thames is turnin' dry
The whole world is a-blazin'

We need water
Good, good water
We need water
And maybe somebody's daughter

Ah, gimme what I need

Please, water, water, water, water, water, water

Gimme water
Water
Water
(Water...)
And I'm sure there ain't one of us here
Who'd say "no" to somebody's daughter
(Oh, no)
Whoa...
No, no, no, no, no...
No, whoa
