I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry Well, I could've been an actor, but I wound up here I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around We got the bubble-headed bleach-blonde who comes on at five She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet? You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry You don't really need to find out what's going on You don't really want to know just how far it's gone Just leave well enough alone, keep your dirty laundry Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around (Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down) (Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down) (Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down) (Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around) Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry (Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down)... |

Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone I'm driving by your house, Oh No, you're not home But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy, remember how I made you scream Now I don't understand what happened to our love But, babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun I see you walking real slow and smiling at everyone And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone Out on the road today, I saw her dead head stick out of a Cadillac A little voice inside my head said, "don't look back, you can never look back" I thought I knew what love was, what did I know? Those days are gone forever, I should just let 'em go, but I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun You got the top pulled down and the radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone |

They're pickin' up the prisoners
And putting 'em in a pen And all she wants to do is dance, dance Rebels been rebels Since I don't know when And all she wants to do is dance Molotov cocktail, the local drink And all she wants to do is dance, dance They mix 'em up right In the kitchen sink And all she wants to do is dance Crazy people walkin' round With blood in their eyes And all she wants to do is dance, dance, dance Wild-eyed pistol-wavers Who ain't afraid to die And all she wants to do is All she wants to do is dance And make romance She can't feel the heat Comin off the street She wants to party She wants to get down All she wants to do is All she wants to do is dance Well the government bugged the men's room In the local disco lounge And all she wants to do is dance, dance To keep the boys from sellin' All the weapons they could scrounge And all she wants to do is dance But that don't keep the boys From makin' a buck or two And all she wants to do is dance, dance They still can sell the army All the drugs that they can do And all she wants to do is All she wants to do is dance And make romance Well, we barely made the airport For the last plane out As we taxied down the runway I could hear the people shout They said, "Don't come back here, Yankee" But if I ever do I'll bring more money 'Cause all she wants to do is dance And make romance Never mind the heat Comin' off the street She wants to party She wants to get down All she wants to do is All she wants to do is dance And make romance All she wants to do is dance |

Sometimes I wonder where it is love goes
I don't know if even Heaven knows But I know you had some dreams that didn't quite come true And now I'm not the one, little girl, who's keeping you I was either standing in your shadow or blocking your light Though I kept on trying I could not make it right For you girl- There's just not enough love in the world I know people hurt you so bad They don't know the damage they can do, and it makes me so sad- How we knock each other down just like children on a playground Even after that ol' sun went down- I was either standing in your shadow or or blocking your light Though I kept on trying I could not make it right For you girl- There's just not enough love in the world Oh darlin', this is still a shady little town And sometimes it's so hard to smile- For the world, for the camera- And still have something left You don't have to prove nothin' to nobody Just take good care of yourself I'm not easy to live with- I know that it's true You're no picnic either, babe And that's one of the things I loved about you But a time will come around when we need to settle down Got to get of this merry-go-round I was either standing in your shadow or blocking you're light Though I kept on trying I could not make it right For you girl- There's just not enough love in the world |

Let's go down to the Sunset Grill
We can watch the working girls go by Watch the basket people walk around and mumble Stare out at the auburn sky There's an old man there from the old world To him, it's all the same Calls all his customers by name Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill You see a lot more meanness in the city It's the kind that eats you up inside Hard to come away with anything that feels like dignity Hard to get home with any pride These days a man makes you somethin' And you never see his face But there is no hiding place Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Respectable little murders pay They get more respectable every day Don't worry, girl I'm gonna stick by you And someday soon We're gonna get in that car And get outta here Let's go down to the Sunset Grill Watch the working girls go by Watch the basket people walk around and mumble Gaze out at the auburn sky Maybe we'll leave come springtime Meanwhile, have another beer What would we do without all these jerks anyway? Besides, all our friends are here Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill |

Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky Didn't have a care in the world With mommy and daddy standin' by But "happily ever after" fails And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers dwell on small details Since Daddy had to fly But I know a place where we can go That's still untouched by men We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by And the tall grass waves in the wind You can lay your head back on the ground And let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence O beautiful, for spacious skies But now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king Armchair warriors often fail And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales The lawyers clean up all details Since Daddy had to lie But I know a place where we can go And wash away this sin We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by And the tall grass waves in the wind Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair spill all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence Who knows how long this will last Now we've come so far, so fast But, somewhere back there in the dust That same small town in each of us I need to remember this So baby give me just one kiss And let me take a long last look Before we say goodbye Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the innocence |

I know you broke up with him
And your heart's still on the shelf It's been over two years for me And I'm still not quite myself You can't be with someone new And you can't go back to him You're beginning to realize That it's sink or swim I see you around sometimes And my heart just melts You're lookin' like if you had your wish You'd be somewhere else And it just breaks my heart To see you here this way Someday I'll get the nerve To walk up to you and say This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance To show you how to love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Cause I'll be there When your broken heart is on the mend Every night it's the same old crowd in smokey rooms You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes But it never blooms I've been around this block a time or two And I've made some big mistakes But girl I promise you, I promise you This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance To show you how to love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Cause it won't be long Til your little heart is on the mend (time, time, tickin, tickin, tickin away) (time, time, tickin, tickin, tickin) (time, time, tickin, tickin, tickin away) (time, time, tickin, tickin, tickin) People inside their houses With the shades pulled down God knows we could use some romance In this sleepy bedroom town I know you're still afraid to rush into anything But there are just so many summers, babe And just so many springs And this is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend, baby Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance To show you love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend Cause it won't be long Til your little heart is on the mend That you'll have to spend Just gimme a chance, darlin To show you how to love again This is the last worthless evening That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long Til your little heart is on the mend |

Harry got up, dressed all in black
Went down to the station, and he never came back They found his clothing scattered somewhere down the track And he won't be down on Wall Street in the morning now He had a home, love of a girl But men get lost sometimes as years unfurl One day, he crossed some line, and he was too much in this world But I guess it doesn't matter anymore In a New York minute, everything can change In a New York minute, things can get pretty strange In a New York minute, everything can change In a New York minute Lying here in the darkness, I hear the sirens wail Somebody going to emergency, somebody's going to jail You find somebody to love in this world, you better hang on tooth and nail The wolf is always at the door In a New York minute, everything can change In a New York minute, things can get a little strange In a New York minute, everything can change In a New York minute And in these days, darkness falls early And people rush home to the ones they love You'd better take a fool's advice than take care of your own One day they're here, next day they're gone Pulled my coat around my shoulders, took a walk down through the park Leaves were falling around me, groaning city in the gathering dark On some solitary rock, a desperate lover left his mark "Baby, I've changed, please come back" What the head makes cloudy, the heart makes very clear I know the days were so much brighter in the time when she was here I know that somebody somewhere can make these dark clouds disappear But until that day, I have to believe, I believe, I believe In a New York minute, everything can change In a New York minute, you can get out of the rain In a New York minute, everything can change In a New York minute |

Woke up with a heavy head
And I thought about leavin' town I could have died if I wanted to-- Slipped over the edge and drowned But, oh no baby, I won't give up that easy, no Too many tire tracks in the sands of time Too many love affairs that stop on a dime, well Ooh baby, think it's time to make some changes 'round here Yeah, I'm gonna tear it up Gonna trash it up I'm gonna round it up gonna shake it up Oh no baby, I will not lie down I'm brave enough to be crazy I'm strong enough to be weak I see all these heroes with feet of clay Whose mighty ships have sprung a leak And I, want you to tell me darlin' Just what do you believe in now? Well, c'mon over here baby You 'bout to gimme a heart attack wanna wrap my lovin' arms Around the small of your back Yeah, and I'm gonna pull you, pull you, pull you Pull you right up close to me, yeah Yeah, we're gonna tear it up We gonna trash it up Gonna round it up Gonna shake it up Oh, no no no, I will not lie down Turn this thing around I will not go quietly I will not lie down I will not go quietly I will not lie down I will not go quietly I will not lie down No, I will not lie down, no Well, don't you ever get lonely? Don't you ever get down? Don't you ever get tired Of all the wicked tongues in this town? Oh baby, just wanna take you away from here I ain't no tiger I ain't no little lamb Suppose you tell me mama Who do you think I think I am? oooh baby, don't you give a damn?

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone She said you found someone And I thought of all the bad luck, And the struggles we went through And how I lost me and you lost you What are these voices outside love's open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more? I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore These times are so uncertain There's a yearning undefined And people filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms And the work I put between us, You know it doesn't keep me warm I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you, Baby The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore There are people in your life who've come and gone They let you down you know they hurt your pride You better put it all behind you, baby; 'cause life goes on You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore |

It was a pretty big year for fashion
A lousy year for rock and roll The people gave their blessing to crimes of passion It was a dark, dark night for the collective soul I was somewhere out on Riverside By the El Royale Hotel When a stranger appeared in a cloud of smoke I thought I knew him all too well He said: "Now that I have your attention I got somethin' I wanna say You may not wanna hear it I'm gonna tell it to ya anyway You know, I've always liked you, boy 'Cause you were not afraid of me But things are gonna get mighty rough Here in Gomorrah-By-The-Sea" He said: "It's just like home It's so damned hot, I can't stand it My fine seersucker suit is all soakin' wet" And the hills are burning The wind is raging And the clock strikes midnight In the Garden of Allah "Nice car......... I love those Bavarians.....so meticulous Y'know, I remember a time when things were a lot more fun around here When good was good, and evil was evil Before things got so.......fuzzy Yeah, I was once a golden boy like you I was summoned to the halls of power in the heavenly court And I dined with the deities who looked upon me with favor For my talents; my creativity We sat beneath the palms in the warm afternoon And drank the wine with Fitzgerald and Huxley They pawned a biting phrase From tongues hot with blood And drained their pens of bitter ink Vainly reaching for the bottle of empty Edens Branded specially for the ones Who had come with great expectations To the perfumed halls of Allah For their time in the sun" We were stokin' the fires and oilin' up the machinery Until the gods found out we had ideas of our own And the war was coming And the earth was shaking And there was no more room In the Garden of Allah "Today I made and appearance downtown I am an expert witness, because I say I am And I said, 'Gentleman....and I use that word loosely...I will testify for you I'm a gun for hire, I'm a saint, I'm a liar Because there are no facts, there is no truth, just data to be manipulated I can get you any result you like....what's it worth to ya? Because there is no wrong, there is no right And I sleep very well at night No shame, no solution No remorse, no retribution Just people selling t-shirts Just opportunity to participate in this pathetic little circus And winning, winning, winning" It was a pretty big year for predators The marketplace was on a roll And the land of opportunity Spawned a whole new breed of men without souls This year, notoriety got all confused with fame And the devil is downhearted Because there's nothing left for him to claim He said: "It's just like home It's so low-down, I can't stand it I guess my work around here has all been done" And the fruit is rotten The serpent's eyes shine As he wraps around the vine In the Garden of Allah |

Title: Everybody Knows That The Dice Are Loaded Album: Actual Miles: Greatest Hits Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over And everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor and the rich get rich That's how it goes And everybody knows Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling That their father or their dog just died Everybody talkin' to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates And a long stem rose And everybody knows ( chorus ) Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes, and everybody Everybody knows that you love me baby Everybody knows that you really do Everybody knows that you've been faithful Give or take a night or two Everbody knows that you've been discret There were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes And everybody knows Everybody knows that it's now or never Everybody knows that it's me or you Everybody knows that you live forever When you've done a line or two And everybody knows that the deal is rotten Old black joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows ( chorus x2 ) Everbody knows that the plague is comin' Everybody knows that it's movin' fast Everybody knows that the naked man and woman Are just a shining artifact of the past Everybody knows that the scene is dead, But there's gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose, What everybody knows Everybody knows that you're in trouble Everybody knows what you've been through From the bloody cross on top of calvary To the beach at malibu And everybody knows it's coming apart Take one last look at this sacred heart Before it blows, And everybody knows ( chorus ) All lyrics are the property and copyright of their owners.
