"Backstage Girl"

"Backstage Girl"


Wanna hear some music
Wanna feel it
Play it nice 'n' loud
Will you be my sweetheart
Come backstage
Hang out with the crowd
Guess who's back in town

Her name is Lucille
She knows the words to all the songs
She talks in pictures
Can't stand her tongue
Lucille's back in town
She loves to rock you

She's goin' backstage
Gonna steal my heart away
Backstage girl, staged to love
She's goin' backstage
She's gonna burn away
Burnin' my stage
To steal my heart

Wanna taste my lovin'
Sure got candy rock'n'roll
Will you be my angel
Oh, Lucille of love
Backstage girl in town
She loves to rock you

"Bad Bad Man"

"Bad Bad Man"


In this supermarket city
Among the native smiles
You have to pay for attention
And do the best you can
There's a raging silence
And it's charged with action
Got no time for weakness
'Cos I'm a bad bad man

Down the streets of darkness
Where they know my name
Lies a force of evil
And a destructive plan
There's no time for questions
When you run into danger
Don't get too close to me
'Cos I'm a bad bad man

I'm working for the LA division
To stop the inner city collision
I'm bringing law and order
To the twenty-first century

I don't care for politics
You can keep your point of view
You're better off without it
I got my own bad plan

A tough cop has a lonely existence
A reputation of the highest resistance
A mean runner bringing order
To the twenty-first century

I don't believe in passion
Don't believe in feelings
I take peace from the wicked
Run and hide while you can
I got no time for small talk
Got no time for off-the-wall talk
Don't care who I tread on
'Cos I'm a bad bad man
Bad bad man...

"Bad Blood"

"Bad Blood"


Desperate man, desperate times
Desperate heart, once she was mine
Bad blood, cold sweat
The more I give, the less I get
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone

Bad blood, runs through her veins
She's got bad blood, she'll never change
Held on, long as I could
But that girl, bad blood

Perfect crime, no clues
That girl's just bad news
Held on, long as I could
Bad girl, bad blood
She cuts clean to the bone
Tight jeans, danger zone

Bad blood, runs through her veins
She's got bad blood, she'll never change
Held on, long as I could
But that girl, bad blood

Glass heart, fools gold
Her blood is stone cold
Held on, long as I could
But that girl's just no good
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone

Bad blood, runs through her veins
She's got bad blood, she'll never change
Held on, long as I could
But that girl, bad blood

"Beautiful Dream"

"Beautiful Dream"


Sail down the stream, such a beautiful dream
Never stopping never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you with a breath of the Spring

Far from the crowds, way above the clouds
We can take you to the edge of the day
And show you living in a new kind of way
We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream
We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream

"Been Away Too Long"

"Been Away Too Long"


Ho yeah

I'm coming home
I've been away for too long
I'm leaving it up to you to understand

You may wonder why
When it was me who said the last goodbye
But can I change my mind one more time

It's high time
I can't wait any longer
It's my time to find out who I belong to
It's breaking my heart, waiting for another day

When the time comes you won't see me around
I've been patient, stand in my ground
Got to see you and hold you
Hear what you have to say

Do you wake up in the morning wanting me
The same old way I always wanted you
And in the same breath you keep holding me
Does it ever occur to you

I've been without love too long
To stop now
I've been away too long

If you've ever cried
Then you know the pain you felt inside
Just like me you pay, it's all untrue

But time along will tell
If you have learned life's lessons well
And maybe then you know what I should do

"Been Hurt"

"Been Hurt"


At the age of eighteen
I had had enough
And by twenty-one
I decided to get tough
And then I found the door
??

And I've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt
And I've lost my way
I still think I have a chance
To find your love

Well, I tried to love you
One day at a time
Each day waiting, hoping for the sign
It was clear I needed luck
More than this time

And I've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt
Well, I've lost my way
I still think I have a chance
To make you mine

My empty heart is
Counting all the ways
Fire and desire
Sat and count days
Will you, won't you
When and where
Do you, don't you, do I care
That same eternal question
Is always there
It's always there

"Believe"

"Believe"


With the light of the world upon us
There’ll be nothing to come between us
Something up ahead worth fighting for

You’re thinking that life is easy
There’s no danger that you cannot see
Do you know who is coming through your door?

To be one and free that’s all we need
Let the morning sunlight take away your fear

Better believe you’ll come alive again
If you believe that all the world will change
For me and you
Better believe you’ll come alive again
‘Cos when you believe it, then it will happen

You will find that there’s so much giving
Look for help and see how we’re living
It’s all the things you’ve never done before

If you’re one and free that’s all we need
Let the morning sunlight take away your fear

Better believe you’ll come alive again
If you believe that all the world will change
For me and you
Better believe you’ll come alive again
‘Cos when you believe it, then it will happen

Now I have your concentration
Now I’ve got you imagination
In a word I could not ask for more

When you’re dealing with your frustration
All you need is determination
There is so much life worth fighting for

Better believe you’ll come alive again
If you believe that all the world will change
For me and you
Better believe you’ll come alive again
‘Cos when you believe it, then it will happen

"Between Two Worlds"

"Between Two Worlds"


You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight

And there are many
Who will say it's speculation
We need to focus on
The sleeping generation
The healing vision
That extends beyond the pain
Will take you there and back again

I can remember
You were no stranger
As you came to me
Dreamers walking
And in that moment
Between two worlds
I saw the furthest star
Exploding all around you

And through the journey
You spoke in silence
And you made it clear
Walk in peace now
Then you touched me
Revealing all upon your way
Inside the burning fountain of time
Of time ...

A time so real as the one
We share each day
The same dimension
Just a heartbeat away
In every part of you
There's so much exploration
Out on the edge of space and time

"Bird Of Prey"

"Bird Of Prey"


I can see that look that says beware
Try to move in closer if you dare
So I must sit and play my waiting game
And for a while I know she'll do the same
Fly away

Watches like an eagle from its eerie
Then like a bird of prey she captures me
But I am older and more wise than you
Bird of prey straight into me you flew
Fly away

Now every time I've tried to set her free
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me
But if I knew she didn't want to stay
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey

"Blind Eye"

"Blind Eye"


Stranger than the sunrise
Darker than the night
Fiercer than a rainstorm
This is man's delight
This is man's delight.

Weaker than a moment
And hot as any fire
Blinder than the blind eye
This is man's desire
This is man's desire.

I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my life to the sun
But when I woke up one day the sun
Had gone.

I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my whole life to the sun
It was good for a while, I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day the sun
Had gone.
Had gone had gone had gone had gone

So what of my meaning
What am I trying to say
What of my caution
...I'm a man anyway, I'm a man anyway
I'm a man anyway, I'm a man anyway
I'm a man anyway, I'm a man anyway.
