An outlaw stand in a peasant land, in every face see Judas. The burden of love is so strange. The stubborn beast and the priest, are hiding from the captians. The burden of love is so plain. Are they happy to see you? No, you always bring trouble. Cast a shadow on Mexico-denial doesn't change facts. Like most I'll cone when I want things done, please God don't let that change. The anguish of love at long range. Should've been a doctor, oh, then they can see what they're getting. Oh no, don't blame Mexico, that's the feast that the whisky priest may yet have to forego. Rob me a colour, make the sound duller, but never go away. Trough teeth of sharks the Autumn barks, and Winter squarely bites me. Don't ever do this again. Dawn breaks in the Southern States, and blindfolded he rests, the burden of loves last request. That's the feast that the whisky priest may yet have to forego. Oh no, don't blame Mexico, they ask for more than you bargained for and then they ask for more. Oh no, don't blame Mexico, that's the feast that the whisky priest may yet have to forego. They ask for more than you bargained for and then they ask for more. Rob me a colour, make the sound duller, but never go away. |

BO BO BEE, BO BEE, BO BO-BO BEE, BO BEE, BO I couldn't bear to be special, I couldn't bear, couldn't bear. I couldn't bear, right ? BO BEE, BO BEE, BO So don't look at me and say, that I'm the very one, who makes the cornball things occur, the shiver of the fur. Don't expect so much of me, I'm just an also-ran, there's a mile between the way you see me and the way I am. So, don't stare at me that way, of course it gives me pride, but I won't take on the risk, of letting down the sweet sweet side Did you mean to humble me ? So you did it unsuspectingly ! Oh words are trains, for moving past what really has no name. BO BO BEE, BO BEE, BO I couldn't bear to be special, I couldn't bear, couldn't bear. So, don't look at me and say, that I'm the very one, who makes the cornball things occur, the shiver of the fur, right ? |

My love and I, we work well together But often we're apart Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah, Till love breaks down, love breaks down Oh my, oh my, have you seen the weather The sweet September rain Rain on me like no other Until I drown, until I drown When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves, When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down, when love breaks down My love and I, we are boxing clever She'll never crowd me out Fall be free as old confetti And paint the town, paint the town When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurtin' you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves, When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurtin' you When love breaks down The lies we tell, They only serve to fool ourselves, When love breaks down The things you do To stop the truth from hurting you When love breaks down You join the wrecks Who leave their hearts for easy sex When love breaks down When love breaks down |

Antiques ! Every other sentiments an antique As obsolete as warships in the baltic I'm driving on a straight road it never alters And the radio serenades but doesn't falter You offer infrared instead of sun You offer paper spoons and bubble gum Late sky Like an all night radio station Without morning Like stumbling on pearl harbour Without warning You offer infrared instead of sun You offer bubble gum You give me faron young four in the morning You give me faron young four in the morning Every mother's son's romantic Every mother's son's frantic ! The sunset makes a fence out of the forest But here I am with head inside the bonnet I've lost just what it takes to be honest You offer infrared instead of sun You offer bubble gum You give me faron young four in the morning You give me faron young four in the morning Forgive me faron young four in the morning Forgive me faron young four in the morning |

Please be careful is never careful Till it hears the gun She will always pay the bills For the having big fun He talks so well, what can you do, It's pretty plain he means it too I don't want to sell you lines, I only mean to do you right But I'm a simple slave of appetite, I'm a poor slave of appetite Hunger howls, hungers red, Hungers stays till it's fed Then it some h-h-how fades, Then it somehow leaves your sight Depending on it's appetite, Depending on your appetite So if you take - Then put back good If you steal - be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite Here she is with two small problems And the best part of the blame Wishes she could call him heartache But it's not a boy's name If you grow up to be, just like him, just like me You're fighting for exclusive rights, For honeymoons each sleepless night In which case I'll call you appetite Yes I think I'll call you appetite So if you take - Then put back good If you steal - be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite So if you take - Then put back good If you steal - be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite |

Brucie dreams life's a highway too many roads bypass my way Or they never begin. Innocence coming to grief At the hands of life - Stinkin' car thief, that's my concept of sin Does heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ? But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. Life's a drive through a dust bowl, what's it do, do to a young soul We are deeply concerned, someone stops for directions, Something responds deep in our engines, we have all been burned Will heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ? But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. Little boy got a hot rod, thinks it makes him some kind of new God Well this is one race he won't win, 'Cos life's no cruise with a cool chick Too many folks feelin' car sick, but it never pulls in. Brucie's thoughts - Pretty streamers - Guess this world needs its dreamers may they never wake up. But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ?

Guess what ! Summer's arrived I feel the world's on my side The Brooklyn Bridge stretches below me A billion souls all dying to know me Well here I am ! Loaded with promise And knee deep in grace What I want is here on my face and I feel like I own the whole damn place Hey Manhattan ! Here I am ! Call me star-struck Uncle Sam. Strolling Fifth Avenue - Just to think Sinatra's been here too These myths we can't undo they lie in wait for you We live them till they're true, Manhattan doobie doo. Hey Manhattan doobie doo. Someday's you've got to get outside - Look there's "The Carlyle" That's the place where Kennedy stayed, And where were you when he died ? (Yeah some things are slow to fade.) There they were - Loaded with promise Knee deep in fate - When what you want shows on your face All that's left litters the whole damn place Hey Manhattan ! Here I am ! Call it bad luck Uncle Sam. Scrounging Fifth Avenue - Just to think the poor could live here too But what are they to do ? These myths belong to you, We live them till they're true, Manhattan doobie doo. Hey Manhattan doobie doo |

Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings When the distant sea blended with the sky Past Coliseum's filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glass I carried in my heart a word or two You dashing horseman all gone away Left you a stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love White and open-necked you would still play I'd resort to sleepwalking to catch the mood that fills the sails With harvest nets and tides don't ever bring But every night was Halloween, and every friend fell in between And how capricious nature ruled my mind You dashing horseman all gone away Left you a stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love White and open-necked you would still play Once upon a time I stalked the streets on raining evenings When the distant sea blended with the sky Past Coliseum's filled with brass on pavements carved from toasted glass I carried in my heart a word or two But you would always make me see today You dashing horseman all gone away Left you a stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love White and open-necked you would still play I sound so different these days, I barely can believe I'm here If I didn't know better, I would swear I was someone else Lord I can't believe, I don't believe I'm me But who on earth could I be ? You dashing horseman all gone away Left you a stable bill to pay And now the golden calf has turned to clay All my feelings dressed in gloves Couldn't touch your windswept harbour love White and open-necked you would still play |

If you're looking for Atlantis
You should cast your eye on me Put your two and two together Don't you know who built Atlantis Then returned to the sea Don't you know who owns the weather ? Rain or shine Sure is good to seek a challenge Sure is fine to set your sights Sure is foolish to be blinded There are legions out there churching Searching for the holy grail Isn't one of them can find it All this time You should be loving someone And you know who it must be Cause you'll never find Atlantis Til you make that someone me You should be loving someone And you know who it must be Cause you'll never find Atlantis Til you make that someone me Say you do find your volcano and the darn thing is still hot Lesson one : Child don't waste it Lesson two : The world's your cherry But tomorrow ? Maybe not Lesson three : Come on and taste it All this time You should be loving someone And you know who it must be Cause you'll never find Atlantis Til you make that someone me You should be loving someone And you know who it must be Cause you'll never find Atlantis Til you make that someone me |

There was that girl I used to know
She'd tease me about my name Fan the embers long enough I sometimes catch her flame The soothing voice of distance tells me ""That was just a fling"" Other music fills my ears But I still hear her sing : She sings : Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe Don't you remember me ? How long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe Don't you remember me ? How long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go free There was a boy I used to be I guess that he was cold If she came to buy him now How cheaply he'd be sold But the light is gone and it is dark What used to be the sky Is suddenly embarrassing To the naked eye You see : Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe Can't face this memory How long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe Can't face this memory How long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go Long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go Long ago one stupid night We let the stars go free We let the stars go free We let the stars go free We let the stars go free We let the stars go free |

Cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free, then takes you away from me. There is no Chicago urban blues, more heartfelt than my lament for you. I'm a liberal guy, too cool for the macho ache, with a secret tooth, for the cherry on the cake. With a pious smile, a smile that changes what I say. While I waste my time, inregretting that the days, went from perfect to just O.K. Lordy, What would I do? Don't call me possessive, but God if he's smoochin' with you. I's a jealous boy root, -the world shoyuld be free, but don't you go following suit my heart is aligned- it couldn't be neutral, I couldn't be that way inclined. Its hard to defend, ba ba ba, ba, ba ba, these feelings tuppentup friend. Its cruel, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba Its cruel, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba Its cruel, its crueler than cruel. But cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free, then takes you away from me. Should a love be tender, and bleed out loud? Or be tougher than tough, and prouder than proud. If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt, am I guilty of every male inflicted hurt? But I don't know how to describe the Modern Rose, When I can't refer to her shape against her clothes. With the fever of purple prose. But cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free, then takes you away from me. Cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free, then takes you away from me. -My contribution, to urban blues. |

You surely are a truly gifted kid But you're only good as The last great thing you did And where've you been since then Did the schedule get you down I hear you've got a new girlfriend How's the wife taking it ? If it's uphill all the way you should be used to it by now You must know me, Father it's your son And I know that you are proud of everything I've done But it's the wonders I perform, Pulling rabbits out of hats When sometimes I'd prefer Simply to wear them If it's uphill all the way you should be used to it and say My back is broad enough sir to take the strain and it's Hello mother, it's your son and aren't you proud, of all I've done But I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free, and I can't breakdance on your knee But it's "stay right there son, baby do", while I is itchin' for something new So watch me hawkeye and understand the force of will, the sleight of hand Movin' the river, I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free and I can't breakdance on your knee Movin' the river, bucket by spoon, and do you think that they'll like me when they learn what I o Movin' the river, money for jam, and it takes such an effort to stay where I am... |

It's me again your worthless friend or foe
I somehow let that lovely creature down Horsin' around, horsin' around Some things we check and double check and lose I guess I let that little vow get lost Forgettin' the cost, forgettin' the cost Quick to forgive and so slow to blame, the very thought fills me with shame But that didn't stop it happening The thrill of it - can I call it that ? - was cheap And feeling cheap's the only thing you keep It's so unsightly to walk from her arms so lightly Selling it all up the swanee Horsin' around's a serious business, last thing you'd want somebody to witness I was the fool who always presumed that I'd wear the shoes and you'd be the doormat You wonder why my hands are still shaking : In need of a cry the shoulders are taken... I deserve to be kicked so badly You deserve more than I sold you for Horsin' around, horsin' around The moral is whatever else you learn You shouldn't let that lovely creature down Lord just blind me, don't let her innocent eyes remind me Selling it all up the swanee Horsin' around, horsin' around. |

Doesn't it just little boy There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait" There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours See the smile on her young face Watch life casually erase it Now I know she's all grown up She wears a look I can't quite place yet What makes you cry little girl ? Maybe I'm scared little boy There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait" There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors Naked and afraid, cowering we crawl on all fours There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates I'll say "after you" you'll say "I don't mind the wait" |

You ask yourself can that cat swing It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Comin' down the years, plain enchantment That's the glue that binds and bonds The dying to the new, plain enchantment Ain't no purple rain quite like it Here's something to dwell upon Now we're living next we're gone, so if you've love please pass it on 'Cos it's a disbelieving world, but sensitive as any girl It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Ooh enchanted now we're living ! |

Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That" Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ? - I remember that Name me one little thing, you'll be wanting to keep As you give up the ghost as you sink into sleep Maybe her face in the morning, maybe his in the evening Maybe words never spoken, aren't they the ones worth hearin' ? Say I remember that Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That" Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ? - I remember that Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That" Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ? - I remember that 'Cos that's all we can have, yes it's all we can trust It's a hell of a ride but a journey to dust And there's nothing pathetic listing clothes she'd wear If it proves that I had you, if it proves I was there Say I remember that Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That" Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ? - I remember that Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That" Like a bolt out from the blue, did you feel it too ? - I remember that Did you feel it too ?... I remember that Did you feel it too ?... I remember that... (chorus adlib) |

Tell me do, something true, true of you and me That we're too busy living through, too busy to see. What is it that we do makes us what we are If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars ? Who are we ? What we got ? Are we a firework show ? Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone, I find it hard right now to name you one Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales. If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales - Instrumental Verse - Who are we ? What we got ? Are we a firework show ? Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone, I find it hard right now to name you one Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales. If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales God's a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats With a fear that is biblical under our hats Who are we ? What we got ? Are we a firework show ? Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone, I find it hard right now to name you one Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales. If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales |

They say the spirit moves in mysterious ways Sometimes the way it moves looks plain berserk But two things you should be slow to criticize A mans choice of woman and his choice of work Some work'll earn you top dollar In this here tinsel town That's where I started thinkin' of something else Cos they couldn't film the spirit From the waist on down Sometimes I don't sleep too well, But one day I know : End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning And all those books about me Well there wasn't much love in 'em boys I'm tellin' you if I'd taken all that medication Man, I'da rattled like... one o' my lil girls toys Now they call me a recluse Been in the desert so long Layin' on my back bidin' my time I'm just waitin' for the right song Then I'm comin' back Sometimes I don't sleep too well, But one day I know : End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning Jordan sweet Jordan Hand me any cup you find that's lyin' spare Lord I've long time been a thirstin' for a share Jordan waiting for me there End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning Jordan sweet Jordan Hand me any cup you find that's lyin' spare End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning Jordan sweet Jordan Hand me any cup you find that's lyin' spare End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning Jordan sweet Jordan Hand me any cup you find that's lyin' spare |

Jesse was a renegade danced to his own drum Growin' wise could wait 'til tomorrow Took to a road signposted sorrow Jesse was a hooligan jumped right off the rail There in the cards there in the tarot Born to despise the straight and the narrow Jesse was a connoisseur Home cookin' tasted stale Jesse James bolero is a dance upon the run Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son Jesse James is waiting For the cheap music to stop Don't goodbye deserve some Bach not barbershop ? Jesse didn't hear the drum suddenly lose time All his plans crafted, clever Fated unborn - Unfinished forever Jesse didn't hear the drum stop outside his door In his dreams destiny towered In the cold light of day it came as a coward Jesse didn't hear the drum At the age of thirty-four Jesse James bolero is a dance upon the run Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son Jesse James is waiting For the cheap music to stop Don't goodbye deserve some Bach not barbershop ? Jesse James bolero is a dance upon the run Every step proclaims that he's a wayward son Jesse James is waiting For the cheap music to stop Don't goodbye deserve some Bach not barbershop ? |

There is a door we all walk through
And on the other side I'll meet you Reunion in the air - A cappella meets pure prayer Somewhere : I can't wait to meet you there Somewhere : I can't wait to meet you there If there ain't a heaven that holds you tonight They never sang doo-wop in Harlem If there ain't a heaven that holds you tonight They never sang doo-wop in Harlem There is a door it may seem locked But in a little while - Don't be shocked Above the noise, behind the glare I know you're listening out there - Somewhere Somewhere : I can't wait to meet you there Somewhere : I can't wait to meet you there If there ain't a heaven that holds you tonight They never sang doo-wop in Harlem If there ain't a heaven that holds you tonight They never sang doo-wop in Harlem If there ain't a heaven that holds you tonight They never sang doo-wop in Harlem If there ain't a heaven that holds you tonight They never sang doo-wop in Harlem |

Say, what you doing' sleeping ? Hey half the day is gone Get a move on Life's a miracle, let me tell you why If you look above you, there are no more stars Like this one in the sky Life's a miracle, we gotta make the most Of the passing moment, Gotta do our best, there'll be time enough to rest Gotta do our best, there'll be time enough to rest Tell someone you them, there's always a way And if the dead could speak I know what they would say To you and me - don't waste another day Show someone you love them don't be scared And if they fall into your arms you'll be surprised to find The weight that you can bear, because Life's a miracle, we gotta do our best Before it's time to rest Life's a miracle - it's a Summer's day It's a passing moment Enjoy the sky, be a brilliant butterfly ! Tell someone you them, there's always a way And if the dead could speak I know what they would say To you and me - don't waste another day Show someone you love them don't be scared And if they fall into your arms you'll be surprised to find The weight that you can bear, because Life's a miracle Life's a miracle Life's a miracle |

Swans and their partners they stay Faithful forever or die on the water Foxes are only good for Ruffling feathers, leading lambs to the slaughter Swans - effortlessly beautiful take care ! You ought to be aware of foxes hiding Go on - there's time for you to sail back to his side While I forget I ever saw you gliding Swans and their partners they stay Faithful forever or die on the water Swans - effortlessly beautiful take care ! You ought to be aware of foxes hiding Go on - still time for you to sail back to his side While I forget I ever saw you gliding Swans, swans |

We're building a home on the side of a mountain
Above the clouds, next to the sky And after our labors the stars will be neighbors We'll take our place with them in space We're not using concrete or plaster or wood They'd lower the tone of our new neighborhood And mortar will crumble with age and neglect We're building our home upon love and respect And when we've built it we'll call it Andromeda Heights When we've built it we'll call it Andromeda Heights When we've built it we'll call it Andromeda Heights We're building a home on the side of a mountain Above the clouds, next to the sky Our plans are ambitious, a blueprint of wishes That will come true and when they do Folks in the valley will look up and say "You've finally built it can we come and stay ?" And cynics will marvel and say "we confess, There were times when we thought it was just an address ! But now that we've seen it we know it's Andromeda Heights Now we've seen it we know it's Andromeda Heights Now we've seen it we know it's Andromeda Heights." We're building a home on the side of a mountain Above the clouds, next to the sky And after our labors the stars will be neighbors We'll take our place with them in space |

Maybe other streets are wider
Than these narrow streets I know Still you'll find here, ties that bind here Where the heart is Maybe other lights are brighter Than these streetlights row by row All I know is, this is home it's, where the heart is Maybe other grass is greener And what if it is? I belong here, right or wrong here's Where the heart is Maybe other grass is greener And what if it is? Well get by here, laugh and cry here Where the heart is We'll thrive here, it's alive here's Where the heart is |
