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 drivin' by your house Though I know you're not home But I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And 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's happened to our love, But baby when I get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone 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 a DEADHEAD sticker on 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 them go but- I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that 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- |

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 |

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? Yeah I'm gonna tear it up gonna trash it up gonna round it up gonna shake it up Oooh hoh baby 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 I will not lie down |

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 |

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.

(Larry John McNally)
For my wedding, I will dress in black And never again will I look back Ah, my dark angels we must part For I've made a sanctuary of my heart To want what I have To take what I'm given with grace For this I pray On my wedding day For my wedding, I don't want violins Or sentimental songs about thick and thin I want a moment of silence and a moment of prayer For the love we'll need to make it in the world out there To want what I have To take what I'm given with grace For this I pray On my wedding day On my wedding day I dream, and my dreams are all glory and light That's what I've wanted for my life And if it hasn't always been that way Well, I can dream and I can pray On my wedding day So what makes us any different from all the others Who have tried and failed before us Maybe nothing, maybe nothing at all But I pray we're the lucky ones; I pray we never fall To want what we have To take what we're given with grace For these things I pray On my wedding day On my wedding day |

I hate to tell you this, but I'm very, very happy
And I know that's not what you'd expect from me at all I'm not the kind to smile and bow out gracefully I always wanted to take it to the wall But I found somebody with a heart as big as Texas I found an angel with the golden wings She saw me down here in the dark somehow And everything is different now Yeah, I miss the old crowd sometimes And the wild, wild nights of running You know, a starving soul can't live like that for long You go around in circles that just keep getting smaller You wake up one morning and half your life is gone I got so tired of that, I got so lonely I dropped down and I called out to Heaven "Send me someone to love." And Heaven shot back, "You get the love that you allow." And everything is different now Oh, and it's sweet to know The wisdom that living brings Since I got a telegram from the god of simple things She said "I don't care what you do for a living." She said "I don't care what kind of car you drive." "All I want to know right now is what you believe in And what it means to you to be alive. Will you stand here in this fire with me? Are you ready for another life?" So I bit that bullet, and took that vow And everything is different now Everything is different now |

before you came I had my friends and my freedom I had my name Still there was sorrow and emptyness till you made me glad oh and this love i found strength never knew i had And this love Is like nothing i have ever known Take my hand Im taking you home Taking you home There were days, lonely days When the world Wouldnt throw me a crumb But i kept on believin That this day would come And this love Is like nothig like i have ever known baby Take my hand Im takin you home Im taking you home Where we can be with the ones who really care Home Where we can grow old together Keep you in my heart forever Oh and this love Is like nothing i have ever known Take my hand Taking you home Taking you home Yes I am |
