MAMA

MAMA


Mama, I don't love you anymore
Money's got me crawlin' on the floor
Lover, I'm so ashamed that I must go
Funny somehow I thought by now you'd know

Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."

Mama, please throw me out in the cold
Woman, the love you bought was never sold

Girl you'd better take my hand
And say what you mean to say
(And she said)
"Stay as long as you can
But don't wait till you're thrown away."

Mama, I don't love you anymore
Sorry I'm not the boy you're looking for

(See the girl with they eyes on fire
Now he know she's the one he desires)

MANUELA RUN

MANUELA RUN


Don't look now
You better watch that sword that's hanging over you
It's a long hard road and they will spit you out
When they get through with you

Don't hang your head
So the wise man said
Or boy you'll soon be dead

You better run, run Manuela-uela run
They're gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun
You better run, run Manuela-uela run, Manuela run

There's no more time for living out your life
Yur sky is falling down
Don't close your eyes or make a wish on three
'Cause they will still be 'round

Don't hang your head
So the wise man said
Or boy you'll soon be dead

You better run, run Manuela-uela run
They're gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun
You better run, run Manuela-uela run, Manuela run

[Instrumental break]

Don't hang your head
So the wise man said
Or boy you'll soon be dead

You better run, run Manuela-uela run, you better run, run Manuela-uela run
You better run, run Manuela-uela run
(gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun)
You better run, run Manuela-uela run, you better run, run Manuela run
You better run, run Manuela run
(gonna shoot you in the back with your own gun)
You better run, run Manuela run

MELANIE

MELANIE


Watching
Driving through the night
I'm all alone
Empty
Endless road
A thousand miles to go
Midnight
Five million thoughts
Passing in a row
Will you
Still be waiting there?
God only knows

I can still see your face in my mind
With every turn I take
And the wind through my heart feels so cold
As it calls out your name

[Chorus:]
Melanie
Nothing but the touch of your hand can rescue me
Melanie
Reach inside this emptiness and you will set me free

Morning
Sun's in my eyes
I'm tied to your soul
One chance
One solitary life
How could I let you go?

Got a phonecall or was it a dream
A voice spoke to me
I could swear it was you that I heard
Crying desperately

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

I can still see your face in my mind
With every turn I take
And the wind through my heart feels so cold
As it calls out your name

[Repeat chorus two times]

MINDFIELDS

MINDFIELDS


There's a rumour of a midnight man
So silent in disguise
And every time he looks your way
You can see it in his eyes
Like a window to the storm
He just invades your paradise
Don't you buy what he is selling
It's just lies

When he says:
"These hearts are willing"
The story goes:
That these dreams are free

Only takes a moment
But you must acclimatize
Don't you buy what he is selling
it's just lies

Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield

[Chorus:]
We're walking through mindfields
You see an angel as she takes you by the hand
We're walking through mindfields
Her lips are moving like she's praying
We're walking through mindfields
She speaks so softly and you want to understand
What she's saying

There's a stairway leading to the sun
I walk it in my sleep
And a ship of fools above the sky
Who've gotten into deep
With a doorway into nowhere
And the path is way too steep
Don't loose your angry soul
It's yours to keep

Where it ends
It's the beginning
And it stays
Right to the end

The reason is unclear my friend
It almost makes me weep
So don't loose your angry soul
It's yours to keep

Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield

MISS SUN

MISS SUN


Been thinking 'bout you all night
Guess you got me in your spell
But I think that I'll be alright
Even if I don't get well

Hey, Miss Sun, what could I say
I tried to hold you
But the Moon got in the way
It won't be long before
The morning has you back in my arms

I can still remember
What you told me with your eyes
One kiss, now it's down to this
Guess it's time you realize

Hey, Miss Sun, what could I say
I tried to hold you
But the Moon got in the way
It won't be long before
The morning has you back in my arms
Has you back in my arms

Hey, Miss Sun, what could I say
I tried to hold you
But the Moon got in the way
It won't be long before
The morning has you back in my arms
In my arms

Hey, Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you
But the Moon got in my way
It won't be long before
The morning has you back in my arms

[Inaudible]

One kiss is what I need
One kiss, give it to me
It won't be long until
The morning has you
Won't be long until
The morning has you back in my arms

One kiss, I realize
One kiss, I can see it in your eyes

Oh, it won't be long until
The morning has you back in my arms

MODERN EYES

MODERN EYES


She know you bad
You don't sing songs of love
She treats you right, she treats you like a web of love
You know who's of the heart, her notions of societies
You belong to know and just like our sophiaties

[Chorus:]
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, to see what you want to see
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, she'll paint you with the modern eyes

What you look for in people is not hard to recognize
Black man, white man, short man
They're all the same in size
You breath the air, you feel the sea and the sand and the skies
When nighttime comes you blind men with modern eyes

[Repeat chorus]

She'll paint you with the hupskin on
She'll paint you with the fire in your eyes
She'll paint you with the modern eyes

[Repeat chorus]

MR. FRIENDLY

MR. FRIENDLY


Get out I won't even listen
I can't hear a single word you say
Enough of your intimidation
Don't tell me 'bout the price I pay
Take off don't want your kind of trouble
Don't wanna see you hangin' 'round my place
It's late and here's the situation
I never wanna see your face

You just drag me down
And I've got the scars to show
I think you oughta know

[Chorus:]
You got the best of me
Mister Friendly
You got the best of me

Don't ask can't promise any favors
Don't want to owe you in anything again
Bad luck it's your occupation
Can't you see you are your own worst friend
I'm gone the masquerade is over
I'm cashin' in the silver tray
So long I can't buy this evil game you play

You just drag me down
And I've got the scars to show
I think you oughta know

[Repeat chorus]

He's standing in your way
You smile like it's okay
Knowing you'll show him somehow
You're running out of time
Too late to change your mind
No one can save you now

[Repeat chorus]

MRS. JOHNSON

MRS. JOHNSON


Know these words are wrong to say
Need you more and more each day

[Chorus:]
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Give me your answer as fast as you can
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Don't you know I really love you

Here's my life, it's yours today
Help me chase the blues away

[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Know these words are wrong to say
Need you more and more each day

[Repeat chorus two times]

MUSHANGA

MUSHANGA


I can't forget you, my little Mushanga, I keep a place in my heart for you
The days of waiting, they keep getting longer, and not a thing I can do
I was a poet, a magazine writer, sent to report on political views
It was by chance, through a lens that I met you, a Capetown girl with no shoes

You were runnin' down the road, I was going your way
I stopped and turned around, and lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering, I didn't understand,

You broke into my heart, I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart, like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart, had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start, and all my tears belong to you
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh

I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
And loss of lives mining white man's gold

I had to leave and go back to Manhattan
Where all my stories are bought and sold
I know the city would surely be saddened, if what I knew could be told

It's been so long since I last heard your laughter
So many letters and still no news
I hope you find all the things that you're after
You know my heart is with you

Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh (repeats 3x)

MYSTERIOUS WAYS

MYSTERIOUS WAYS


I must have aged twenty years in the last seven days
Living on emotion, disbelieve and rage
I found out the hard way life is what you make
Sometimes you gotta learn to give yourself a break

You can go where you wanna go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all
If you just believe

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancing to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways

[Chorus:]
Accidents can happen and they always do
It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you
I was in the wrong place at just right time
I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine

You can do who you wanna do
You can screw who you want to screw
In the end it's the fantasy
But not reality
That will set you free

[Chorus]

Once it's inside of me
It's like a symphony
On a cloud and I can't come down
It's like a dream then you come around

[Instrumental break]

You can go where you wanna go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe

[Chorus]

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancing to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious
Time moves in mysterious
Time moves in mysterious ways
