I'm the adultress
But i didn't want to be and i'm convenient And i make good tea I stand accused Of the worst crime in history That's my mystery I'm the adultress I go to the park With a bag of crumbs for the birds That's where we meet without words He takes my hand And stares into the wood There's nothing to understand It's understood I'm the adultress Look at the fool Made up to go out She's desperate and lonely But she's puttin' it about Look at the spinster Comin' down off the shelf She's in love and she hates herself Don't try to stop me Don't get in my way It's too late I've made my play Does misery love company I'll be in the bar You'll find me |

Now the reason we're here
As man and woman Is to love each other Take care of each other When love walks in the room Everybody stand up Oh it's good, good, good Like brigitte bardot Now look at the people In the streets, in the bars We are all of us in the gutter But some of us are looking at the stars Look round the room Life is unkind We fall but we keep gettin' up Over and over and over and over and over and over Me and you, every night, every day We'll be together always this way Your eyes are blue like the heavens above Talk to me darlin' with a message of love Now the reason we're here Every man, every woman Is to help each other Stand by each other When love walks in the room Everybody stand up Oh it's good, good good Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you Talk to me darlin' |

When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me Though you are far away I know you'll always be near to me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I look around me And feel you are ever so close to me Each tear that flows from my eye Brings back memories of you to me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I was wrong, I will cry I will love you till the day I die You were all, you alone and no one else You were meant for me When morning comes again I have the loneliness you left me Each day drags by Until finally my time descends on me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me |

I wrote a letter to you my friend
So many letters that I never send I think about you at the day's end The time that we had I laughed in my bed The stupid things you said We were two birds of paradise When I was a little girl With clay horses and lambs on the shelf I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves My friends and I had a world unto ourselves No grownups could find us when we Made our plans so secretly To run away and fly to be With the two birds of paradise Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders Back in the room the things I remember One time when we took off our clothes But you were cryin', cryin' You said nothing lasts forever We were happy together I thought about you in stockholm and rome Me in my hotel room You in your home This is the life they say that Dreams are made of Don't forget Please do forgive me I still have something you did give me Come into my dream with me and dream Please don't forget Do forgive me I still have something you did give me Come into my dream with me and dream Oh dream of paradise |

Anger and lust my senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck? When my tongue lay inside his lip Felt like the time in the womb But I woke up with a headache that split my skull Alone in the room I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh I said baby, oh sweetheart Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile I remember the way he groaned and moved with an animal skill I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest It was all very run of the mill But I noticed his scent started to change somehow His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow I said baby, oh sweetheart Bondage to lust, abuse of facility Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee I was sure his intentions were sweet And that mine was as well But a wish is a shot in the dark When your coin's down the well I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head Up to my neck and I said, said, said dead I said baby, oh sweetheart |

Such a drag to want something sometime
One thing leads to another I know Was a time wanted you for mine Nobody knew You arrived like a day And passed like a cloud I made a wish, I said it out loud Out loud in a crowd Everybody heard 'twas the talk of the town It's not my place to know what you feel I'd like to know but why should i? Who were you then, who are you now? Common labourer by night, by day highbrow Back in my room I wonder, then i Sit on the bed, look at the sky Up in the sky Clouds rearrange Like the talk of the town Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday You've changed your place in this world You've changed your place in this world Oh but it's hard to live by the rules I never could and still never do The rules and such never bothered you You call the shots and they follow I watch you still from a distance then go Back to my room, you never know I want you, I want you but now Who's the talk of the town? |

Anger and lust my senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck? When my tongue lay inside his lip Felt like the time in the womb But I woke up with a headache that split my skull Alone in the room I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh I said baby, oh sweetheart Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile I remember the way he groaned and moved with an animal skill I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest It was all very run of the mill But I noticed his scent started to change somehow His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow I said baby, oh sweetheart Bondage to lust, abuse of facility Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee I was sure his intentions were sweet And that mine was as well But a wish is a shot in the dark When your coin's down the well I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head Up to my neck and I said, said, said dead I said baby, oh sweetheart |

You guys are the pits of the world!
Oh, this is no place for me Burnin' down the interbelt, from jacuzzi to jacuzzi It's all right for you man Gettin' smashed, gettin' suntanned But i know my place Where's my suitcase? Pack it up or throw it away What i can't carry, bury Oh you remember me, i remember you But that was a long, long time ago When i was passin' through All my family, all my friends, my lover I got to find them My enemies, my new family, my new friends My future enemies, i got to flush them out Pack it all up, nothing goes in storage I'm burnin' every bridge Burn, baby, burn I see your dog got shot Well, hell, never mind That's show biz, big boy You've got to be cruel to be kind Oh, give over and admit it I've been tearing down the interstate Like some kind of bleeding cat It's all right for the boss His gain's my loss That gets me down, it really gets me down So pack it up and cut the crap When the clock starts talkin', i start walkin' When you pass in your porsche Please don't offer me a ride I may be a skunk But you're a piece of junk, and furthermore I don't like your trousers Your appalling taste in women And what about your mind Your insipid record collection That dumb home video center The usual pronography And all you scumbags around the world You're the pits of the world! |
