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 fin |

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. |

Some expressions take me back, like ""Hair of Gold"" and
""Sweet Mary"" and ""Running to Me"". The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes - nostalgia supplies. Loredo hihgstreet buried me - beneath an oak tree. As This Is To Me: then so to you is something else, that keeps you up long past your bedtime, tearing hair. The sweetest moment comes at last - The waitings over, in shock they stare and cue fanfare. When Bobby Fischer's plane - plane plane - touches the ground - plane plane he'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town. The sweetest moment comes at least - the waitings over, in shock they stare and cue fanfare. When Bobby Fischer's plane - plane plane - touches the ground - plane plane he'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town, playing for blood as grandmasters should. Some obsessions take me back, like ""Hair of Golf"" and ""Sweet Mary"" and ""Running to me"". The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes - nostalgia supplies.

Stella Matter, light is failing, making such a fool of thee,
when you'd love to be someone... This is the time, I've set aside. From selling old rope, and tellingbad jokes, and cul de sac pride. I've learnt today, while falling apart, the most eloquent way, to speak or to pray, is straight from the heart. Oh but to shine like Joan of Arc, you must be prepared to burn. Take two kinds of look, and one wedding day, now isn't it clear, there's nothing they'll hear, that you'd want to say. Forget the style and choose from twelve notes, in itself it's ajoy, wether it soothes or annoys, a song starts in the throat. And if you've no new clothes to wear, then simply wash and com you hair. And little green Isaac, you're gonna walk backwards through the room, does that mean I won't see you? It means you're gonna walk backwards through the room. And little green Isaac, I hear you're still wet behind the ears, Isaacs a soft name, it sounds like a pockeful of rain. Well up that stairway he rose, and down that stairway he goes. GGGGreen Isaac GGGGreen Isaac GGGGreen Isaac. |

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. |

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.

I'm not looking to disturb you,
Just a little to unnerve you. I have nothing about games And always looking back. After the last unholy row I never, ever play basketball now. It joins a list of things I'll miss Like fencing foils and lovely girls I'll never kiss. Leave it behind on an overcrowded desk Where the in-tray is higher Than the OUT ever will be. Before the tea rooms fill With flirting couples call. Remember to call. And FLOW, it skips like a river And it rolls flow, You'll swear it's a chapel Isn't that so? Think of all the things that grew here, Long before we moved here All of it good and strong, And all of it gone. After that last unholy row I never, ever play, basketball now It joins the list of things I'll miss Like fencing foils, and lovely girls I'll never kiss. You may say I've got plenty, But no one knows how long Things stay big Roger D. |

Sitting alone when her work is through,
These days she's listless Though that spring sky is blue. Her parents try but it's not much use. Her boyfriend left home, It was late Summertime, Life was good, they were young, But glory is purblind, How could a future like that go wrong? I know the Mayor Of this hysterical town, He worked himself up From the dirt on the ground. Now everyone asks him questions and so on. People consider they've a right to be told, He just can't imagine What it is he should know, People naturally wonder What it's all leading to Oh Anne Garland, You can't call this heartbeat a man. Too sad you bet We're all caught in history's web. But don't cry too soon, You might as well fall In love with the Moon. Oh Anne Garland, We win or we lose at his hand. Cars collide and they kill the groom, Death's neatly spruced for his honeymoon. Find an answer while I leave the room. Man made the neon And he learned how to fly, But God made the stars While he fashioned the sky, Perhaps I should learn To shut my mouth. |

There are those who own,
The world around your own. And say you want to swan, one to one Hey kid they own the pond. There are those who rest, And those who make the beds, And should you seek redress Can't you guess? Hey child they own this mess. So if these star-dust memories, fail to please, If you confuse this dinner dance with elegance, If you suffer lack of due respect, Take comfort from the guessing game aspect, That she is least where you expect. Please be ashamed that you're afraid, Equating elegance and real estate. When all the bullion in the world, Cannot transform what's simply second rate. But will yea no come assess me Boastfully. I'll not be bought By your silver plated come to me. So don't you do come try me. Because these star-dust memories, fail to please. They're not alike this dinner dance, This elegance, And if you want to swan, one to one Kid you don't need the pond. There are those whose time, Is due for steep decline. If you can't find the spot, Where their time stops, Just ask who built the clocks. |

Her husband works in Jodrell Bank,
He's home late in the morning, Had he been a lawyer, He wouldn't work for pennies. In the morning I go walking, It helps the hurting soften, I've seen a lot of places, Cause I miss her very often. But I could never work there, What a shame that I'm not clever, It's for men with horn rimmed glasses, And four distinguished A Level passes. What chance so long ago, I buried something I should know. Verse and chapter they unfurl, And sprinkle it upon the world. Name it. Technique! Their eyes don't fill With wonder when you speak, And I loathe the stilted Way you make me speak. Without recourse to Lying distortion or cheating. Technique! Their eyes don't fill With wonder when you speak, And I loathe the stilted Way you make me speak. |

One dance whose steps I never could learn
It's called the wedding march The grace that it takes, the grace you deserve, Require a lighter touch I know you love dancing. Oh, I know that you love dancing so much I know you love dancing. Music's a wild thing with mischief to prove I can't adjust to the way that you move Music's a wild thing whatever the groove Some music isn't for dancing One dance whose steps I never could learn It's called the wedding march The grace that it takes, the balance and poise, I still find a mystery I know you love dancing.

Hello Johnson your mother once gave me
A lift back from school That's no reason to get so excited I'd been playing football with the youngsters, Johnson says don't dramatize And you can't even spell salacious In a caravette with such a pretty widow, But wheels aren't there to be looked at. And it's cheap to say that she's delicious When she's someone's daughter Horse chimes so stupid and so mean On the offensive all wolf whistle and jeans Horse chimes they neigh they never bell All straw and piss they never kiss but tell Horse chimes Coarse times are here And don't I know it, and I'm ashamed And you won't say it, that we're to blame And I must change There is a saying tailor made for her she is the apple of your eye Lord don't smother her in soapy feelings You buy a pedestal only to rest it in a wheelchair Beauty can't be beauty 'till it's dying And I think I'll die unless I kiss you, please don't murder me Hark I hear the ghost of feeling leaving And you know what pushed her Horse chimes so stupid and so mean On the offensive all wolf whistle and jeans Horse chimes they neigh they never bell All straw and piss they never kiss but tell Horse chimes Coarse times are here And don't I know it, and I'm ashamed And you won't say it, that we're to blame And I must change |

What could make a girl believe The wicked things he'd say?

What could make a girl believe The wicked things he'd say? Like by the grace of God He'll be the bugle boy on judgment day Why must honest Joe reap The wicked seed they sow?

Who does not adore the sound
Of music in the name of towns To build a city on such picturesque ground That takes some sort of flair We draw a line the ink is fear You stay that side we'll stay here It's far harder to keep it up Than to tear it down Does it take you back to the kind of world Hindsight calls the good old days? Now that there's no room in an Einstein world For simple cause and effect Dublin Dublin home of pretty Coleens Dublin Dublin, nurse of such bitter dreams Behind the soft and peachy skin Where D.N.A. or God begin Where sub-Gaelic rot sets in With stories from your mother In myths and less exalted forms The heady cocktail glory is born You know it's not a bottled storm So why do you indulge it?

Time is the healer, time was on my hands
The bus stopped at tiffany's So i went to hear the band I saw Cinderella, then the curtain dropped Time hung heavy on my hands but today The clock just stopped I heard the music saw those pictures on the wall I fell in love with tiffany's i thought it said it all Soothed by your saxophones i thought you'd understand I'd love to sing my songs for you but i don't know if i can Said don't know if i can, don't know if i can Midnight is striking there's a pumpkin by the door It's five o'clock and the streets are clear am i alone once more ? I watched the dawn in an electric storm my compass blew haywire There she stands with a slipper in her hand And her eyes were the colour of fire I saw you crying from that doorway for sometime It's no use drying your eyes 'cause i see those tell tale signs I saw you crying from that doorway for sometime It's no use drying your eyes 'cause i see those tell tale signs I see those tell tale signs, i see those tell tale signs Time is no healer in truth she plays no part When money's got you in your pocket where can she put your heart ? She led a charmed life so i believe Before she left she wrote a note and this is how it reads I saw you crying from that doorway for sometime It's no use drying your eyes 'cause i see those tell tale signs I saw you crying from that doorway for sometime It's no use drying your eyes 'cause i see those tell tale signs I see those tell tale signs, i see those tell tale signs |

The world careering nightmare somewhere it is her arms reach out And stop the savagery at least they do for me Her eyes china blue saucers she's born that way She tastes of apple strudel you can tell she does With arms that hold sweet william to her breast I wish that it were true our family includes you Even though you're warped and unattractive I see I've made you cry by saying here comes the bride There's always some sweet petticoat grabs the eye That's why the boys and girls love diana Looking for a star, looking for a star Looking for a star is fine. if we don't find it here If we don't find it now what are we going to say What are we going to say ? Her eyes china blue saucers she's born that way She tastes of apple strudel you can tell she does With arms that hold sweet william to her breast The darling of, the darling of, creation of the editor I guess that's what, suppose that's what she's for I hope they're crying in their sleep for promises they cannot keep For disappointments rooted deep That's why the boys and girls love diana |

Wearing your death's head grin - even the fishes are thin When the boat comes in Things are better now - things are better now We've education I doff my cap to a life that lets you Dream a poor man's dream But he can't have his coffee with cream Till the cows come home |

Feel the sun upon your back
Someone somewhere wants to steal it Pray each night you'll catch the thief But while you sleep he comes and takes it Does that make you think little girl ? 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" |

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 |

I spend the days with my vanity
I'm lost in heaven and I'm lost to earth Didn't give you minutes not even moments All my life in a tower of foil Shaded feelings, don't believe you When you were there before my eyes No one planned it took it for granted I count the hours since you slipped away I count the hours that I lie awake I count the minutes and the seconds too All I stole and I took from you But Bonny don't live at home, he don't live at home Words don't hold you, broken soldiers INSTRUMENTAL I count the hours since you slipped away I count the hours that I lie awake I count the minutes and the seconds too All I stole and I took from you But Bonny don't live at home, he don't live at home Words don't hold you, broken soldiers All my silence and my strained respect Missed chances and the same regrets Kiss the thief and you save the rest All my insights from retrospect But Bonny's not coming home, he don't live at home Save your speeches, flowers are for funerals |

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 |

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 |

There are all kinds of things I could ask you if I choose
But I don't do I dear good intentions don't survive here No instead my requests tend to be dumb as hell Move in close, closer still, I hear the songs of Georgie Gershwin I swear at you 'cause I believe that sweet talk like candy rots teeth No Hallelujahs, or gifted voices To sing your praises I'd be walking on wheels No whoops or war cry's or caramias All translations will read Marry me now Well I sing to express my belief that sweet talk like candy rots teeth With his hand on his heart, it's a posing place While draining the mystery from your face He admits all he's chasing is the chase But you won't let him run You make him suffer for all he's gone done He'll still be hurting when the kingdom comes Move in close till you see, he only wants what he can't have So when he gets it he's good as bad Move in close, closer still, I hear the songs of Georgie Gershwin Oh Hallelujah, how I'm walking on wheels |

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. |

I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them
Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ?

I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? They were the best times, the harvest years with jam to lace the bread So goodness, goodness knows why I'd throw it to the birds But there it is, and there we are And all I ever want to be is far from the eyes that ask me In whose bed you gonna be and is it true you only see Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? It's perfect as it stands so why then crush it in your perfect hands ? Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them So tell me you must have thought it all out in advance Or goodness, goodness knows why you'd throw it to the birds You mock the good things, you play the heart strings, play them one by one But there it is, and there we are And all I ever want to be is far from the eyes that ask me In whose bed you gonna be and is it true you only see Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ? It's perfect as it stands so why then crush it in your perfect hands ? Desire as a sylph figured creature who changes her mind ?

Lying is killing the good things in me
Ask me what the time is baby, ask me honey My eyes shift and slide Sure there are reasons for acting like this But reasons are kill kill killing the everything we do Who said we'd be happy the more that we knew ? Oh don't come a calling with answer me eyes All you'll get my baby are blueberry pies But your being lovely, And your being good Only depresses me, Knowing how oddly I'm behaving Hello stranger (The) stranger I've become I'm an air raid Leaving both us orphans and four fifths afraid So if I come begging with take me back eyes All you have to tell me All you have to tell me are blueberry, blueberry pies. |

When the angels take the angel voice away
Some lower their eyes, some of us shout cheats For cheating on the deal, pulling off the sting, Tuning up the harps, dishing out the wings If they can dance on, on the head of a pin Don't that tell you something about their skin Hard faced little bastards When the angels take the angel voice away Jealously they see the sometimes man you'd be Must get so blase, knowing you'll never die, Lounging on a cloud, polishing the sky The memories are blue, but borrowed for the day They sit around ignored, till someone goes away If they can dance on, on the head of a pin Don't that tell you something about their skin Hard faced little bastards When the angels take the angel voice away Jealously they see the sometimes man you'd be The memories are blue, but borrowed for the day They sit around ignored, till someone goes away For cheating on the deal, pulling off the sting, Tuning up the harps, dishing out the wings If they can dance, bastards When the angels take the angel voice away Jealously they see the sometimes man you'd be |

All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts
And they're coming round the track to haunt me. When she looks at me and laughs I remind her of the facts I'm the king of rock'n roll completely Up from suede shoes to my baby blues Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque The dream helps you forget you ain't never danced a step You were never fleet of foot, hippy. All the pathos you can keep for the children in the street For the vision I have had is sweeping - New broom, this room, sweep it clean Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ; Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ; Now my rhythm ain't so hot, but it's the only friend I've got I'm the king of rock'n roll completely All the pretty birds have flown now I'm dancing on my own I'm the king of rock'n roll completely - Up from, suede shoes to my baby blues Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ; Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ; Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque |

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 ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. |

Nothing sounds as good as "I Remember That"

I've been asking what is new, like my streetwise buddy do
Body talk seems big with him, so it's conversations in the gym Ooh enchanted ooh enchanted "Pray Forsooth" and "I Adore" ain't the ticket anymore So how'd you recognise a king ? 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 ! |
