I'll be your slave, maybe you'll be my priestess. I'd live in a cave and
We'd meet where all eyes are turned away. Where we can lay, where we can
Play... and forget the storm. Will you weep while I slip away... at Golden
Dawn?
You drew a star, and I drew a circle. We hid in the car, we crossed our
Fingers and hurtled down the street. The fog was creeping slow, the
Deathbird peeping through the window. We drove on and found our way to
Golden Dawn.
I read the news and you heard the sirens. We packed, then we flew to an
Island which no-one else could find. Where we could hide and watch the tide
Slide in at twilight. We made love... on and on 'til Golden Dawn.
This goes out to that guy on emusic who hated it when I posted lyrics, yet made 'friends' with me on lastfm nonetheless.
I hope it makes you spitting mad, I jiggled between U2 and Madonna and settled on this:
Oooooooh, how do you like your love
Oooooooh, how do you like your love
But if you want to know how I really feel
Get the cameras rollin'
Just get the action goin'
Baby, you know my love for you is real
So take me where you want to
Me and my heart you steal
More, more, more
How do you like it, how do you like it
More, more, more
How do you like it, how do you like it
More, more, more
How do you like it, how do you like it
Oooh, how do you like your love
Oooh, how do you like your love
But if you want to know how I really feel
Just get the cameras rollin'
Get the action goin'
Baby you know my love for you is real
So take me where you want to
Me and my heart you steal
How do you like it, how do you like it
More, more, more
How do you like it, how do you like it
More, more, more
How do you like it, how do you like your love
More, more, more
[Instrumental Interlude]
But if you want to know how I really feel
Get the cameras rollin'
And get the action goin'

How do you like it, how do you like it

More, more, more
How do you like it, how do you like it

Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest of the world go by.
Hold your breath. Hold your breath. Close your eyes.
Rocks and stones. Broken bones.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.
Please forgive me if I fall sort of your mark.
But there are things still buried in my heart, pause
Heart pause. Heart pause. Then vanish. Then vanish.
Unstoppable time. All the things you left behind.
In the night. In the night.
Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest if the world go by.
And when the tears fall from both my eyes
They fall from my right eye because I love you
And they fall from my left eye cause I cannot bear you.
Rocks and stones. Broken bones.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.
Comes crawling. In the night. Comes crawling. In the night.
Comes crawling home. In the night. In the night.
Dr.Mutex, excellent,I think I'l fall over at your posting here. Please visit more often! Avalon is one of my faves.
These lyrics are not correct. I apolgize in advance, yours, the lryics whore, Xat.
take me now, baby, here as I am
hold me close, try and understand
desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
love is a banquet on which we feed
come on now, try and understand
the way I feel when I'm in your hands
take my hand, come under cover, they
can't hurt you now (3x)
because the night belongs to lovers
because the night belongs to lust
because the night belongs to lovers
because the night belongs to us
have my doubt when I'm all alone
love is a ring, the telephone
love is an angel, disguised as lust
here in our bed until the morning comes
come on now, try and understan
The way I feel under your command
take my hand, blabbla
with love we sleep,
with doubt the vicious circle
turns, and turns
without you, I cannot live, forgive the yearning
burning
I believe in love
too real to feel, touch me now, touch me now
strangely, almost all my favorite lyrics this year are raunchy or dirty.
O I love me some sexed-up lyrics. I notice you didn't post any! C'mon, c'mon.
I had a hankering earlier....to post some real live bleeding fingers stuff from back when I used to get drunk every night...but I think I'll listen to Pump Up the Volume dance music, instead:

I used to wake up to this song about every day when I was 9
A long long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
...
soBye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The Jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
Landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
I'm writing 'bout the
Book I read
I have to sing about the
Book I read
I'm embarassed to admit it hit the soft spot in my heart
When I found out you wrote the
Book I read so
Take my shoulders as they touch your arms I've
Got little cold chills but I feel alright The
Book I Read was in your eyes oh oh
Oh...I'm living in the future.
I feel wonderful.
I'm tipping over backwards
I'm so ambitious
I'm looking back I'm
Running a race and you're the book I read so
Feel my fingers as they
touch your arms
I'm spinning around but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na

Oooooh...I'm living in the future
I feel wonderful
I'm tipping over backwards
I'm so ambitious
I'm looking back I'm
Running a race and you're the books I read so
Feel my fingers as they touch you arms I'm
Spinning around and I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Na na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na na
Na na na na...oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh..
I'd sell your heart to the junkman baby
For a buck, for a buck
If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch
You're out of luck, you're out of luck
Ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
It's a job, it's a job
Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It's all over, it's all over
It's all over
There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away on business, business
Godddamn there's always such a big temptation
To be good, to be good
There's always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby
It's a deal, it's a deal
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
Hey, Eddie, can you lend me a few bucks
And tonight can you get us a ride
Gotta make it through the tunnel
Got a meeting with a man on the other side
Hey Eddie, this guy, he's the real thing
So if you want to come along
You gotta promise you won't say anything
'Cause this guy don't dance
And the word's been passed this is our last chance
We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie
'Cause man, we got ourselves out on that line
And if we blow this one
They ain't gonna be looking for just me this time
And all we gotta do is hold up our end
Here stuff this in your pocket
It'll look like you're carrying a friend
And remember, just don't smile
Change your shirt, 'cause tonight we got style
Well Cherry says she's gonna walk
'Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it
But Eddie, man, she don't understand
That two grand's practically sitting here in my pocket
And tonight's gonna be everything that I said
And when I walk through that door
I'm just gonna throw that money on the bed
She'll see this time I wasn't just talking
Then I'm gonna go out walking
Hey there, people, Im bobby brown
They say Im the cutest boy in town
My car is fast, my teeth is shiney
I tell all the girls they can kiss my heinie
Here I am at a famous school
Im dressin sharp n im
Actin cool
I got a cheerleader here wants to help with my paper
Let her do all the work n maybe later I'll rape her
Oh God I am the american dream
I do not think Im too extreme
An Im a handsome sonofabitch
Im gonna get a good job n be real rich
(get a good
Get a good
Get a good
Get a good job)
Womens liberation
Came creepin across the nation
I tell you people I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of freddie
She made a little speech then,
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick
Oh God I am the american dream
But now I smell like vaseline
An Im a miserable sonofabitch
Am I a boy or a lady...i don't know which
(I wonder wonder
Wonder wonder)
So I went out n bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but Im still kinda cute
Got a job doin radio promo
An none of the jocks can even tell Im a homo
Eventually me n a friend
Sorta drifted along into s&m
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
Long as I gets a little golden shower
Oh God I am the american dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An I'll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin, thank you, fred!
Oh god, oh god, Im so fantastic!
Thanks to freddie, Im a sexual spastic
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down,
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down, etc.
Yeah. I'm repeating. CanNOt get enough of this Dandy Warhols song ~ a bit different than Brighternow's last posting, this is all about the character rather than the put-down
I suspect I might post some U2 lycis next winkly
Hey, I said you were Godless then
It seems like you're a soulless friend.
As thoughtless as you were back then,
I swear that you are Godless.
Hey, I guess you're lonely, when
I gave, you only took, So then
It's stranger then its ever been.
I guess it's what you wanted.
Of late, it seems that
lonely I will be.
I beg, I bleed,
but this is all that I've gotten.
Hey, as for today, my friend,
To hope that you could ever bend,
I swear you are, I swear you are,
I swear that you are Godless.
Hey, I said you're Godless then.
Hey, and you're a soulless friend,
Hey, I said you're Godless and
I swear, I swear
Now Jamie wouldn't say, "All right", ah, she knew he'd forget her
'N' so they said goodnight, ah, oh, 'n' now he's gone forever
She wants to send him a letter, uh yeah yeah
Uh just to try to make herself feel better
It said "Gimme (gimme a call sometime")
But she knows what that'll get her
Now Jamie's been in love before (ahhh)
And she knows what love is for (ahhh)
It should mean, a little, a little more (ahhh)
Than one night stands, whoo
She want's to send him a letter, uh yeah yeah
Just to try to make herself feel better
It said "Gimme (gimme a call sometime")
But she knows what that'll get her

The night are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart My heart

getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life
that i choose
sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback
and a torture tattoo
and i been riding on a ghost train where the cars
they scream and slam
and i don't know where i'll be tonight but i'd
always tell you where i am
in a screaming ring of faces i seen her standing
in the light
she had a ticket for the races just like me she
was a victim of the night
i put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and
let it roll
i had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow
through my heart and my
soul
and the big wheel keep on turning neon
burning up above
and i'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
it's just the danger when you're riding at your
own risk
she said you are the perfect stranger she said
baby let's keep it like this
it's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up
and say
hey mister give me two give me two cos any two
can play
and the big wheel keep on turning neon
burning up above
and i'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
well it's been money for muscle another whirligig
money for muscle and another girl i dig
another hustle just to make it big
and rockaway rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it
always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it
always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
she took off a silver locket she said remember me
by this
she put her hand in my pocket i got a keepsake
and a kiss
and in the roar of the dust and diesel i stood
and watched her walk away
i could have caught up with her easy enough but
something must have made me
stay
and the big wheel keep on turning neon
burning up above
and i'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
and now i'm searching through these carousels and
the carnival arcades
searching everywhere from steeplechase to
palisades
in any shooting gallery where promises are made
to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley
bay out to rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always
did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
Thank you for words and
all their gathering forms;
I love their angry mobs
and their beautiful choirs;
I love their subtle depth
and double lives.
Thank you for introducing them
to music.
Thank you for the song and for
those who know how to use it.

We'd meet where all eyes are turned away. Where we can lay, where we can
Play... and forget the storm. Will you weep while I slip away... at Golden
Dawn?
You drew a star, and I drew a circle. We hid in the car, we crossed our
Fingers and hurtled down the street. The fog was creeping slow, the
Deathbird peeping through the window. We drove on and found our way to

Great to dance to!
Let the rest of the world go by.
Hold your breath. Hold your breath. Close your eyes.
Rocks and stones. Broken bones.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.
Please forgive me if I fall sort of your mark.
But there are things still buried in my heart, pause
Heart pause. Heart pause. Then vanish. Then vanish.
Unstoppable time. All the things you left behind.
In the night. In the night.
Concentration. Empty your mind.
Let the rest if the world go by.
And when the tears fall from both my eyes
They fall from my right eye because I love you
And they fall from my left eye cause I cannot bear you.
Rocks and stones. Broken bones.
Everything eventually comes crawling home.
In the night. In the night.
Comes crawling. In the night. Comes crawling. In the night.
Comes crawling home. In the night. In the night.
My Right Eye - Laurie Anderson
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?
As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning?
More than this, you know there is nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, there is nothing
It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going?
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning?
More than this, you know there is nothing
More than this, tell me one thing
More than this, now there is nothing
More than this, nothing
More than this
More than this, nothing

Mutex, haha, what do YOU have in your lyrics archive? Puhleeze. Share.
A long long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
...
soBye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But that's not how it used to be
When the Jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh and while the king was looking down
The Jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
Landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With the Jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
I stand here at the bar, I hold an empty glass
I think I gave the artist's names at the start.
But I do know the chafing feeling of 'what was that song'.
When I'm queen, everthing will be properly tagged. When I'm not the queen, it won't. Tra la la.
He said that..not me
Book I read
I have to sing about the
Book I read
I'm embarassed to admit it hit the soft spot in my heart
When I found out you wrote the
Book I read so
Take my shoulders as they touch your arms I've
Got little cold chills but I feel alright The
Book I Read was in your eyes oh oh
Oh...I'm living in the future.
I feel wonderful.
I'm tipping over backwards
I'm so ambitious
I'm looking back I'm
Running a race and you're the book I read so
Feel my fingers as they
touch your arms
I'm spinning around but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na

Na na na na...oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oooooh...I'm living in the future
I feel wonderful
I'm tipping over backwards
I'm so ambitious
I'm looking back I'm
Running a race and you're the books I read so
Feel my fingers as they touch you arms I'm
Spinning around and I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Na na na na na...na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na na
Na na na na...na na na na na na na na

Na na na na...oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh..
For a buck, for a buck
If you're looking for someone to pull you out of that ditch
You're out of luck, you're out of luck
Ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
It's a job, it's a job
Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It's all over, it's all over
It's all over
There's a leak, there's a leak in the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves and lawyers
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away on business, business
Godddamn there's always such a big temptation
To be good, to be good
There's always free cheddar in a mousetrap, baby
It's a deal, it's a deal
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
I narrow my eyes like a coin slot baby
Let her ring, let her ring
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
God's away, God's away
God's away on business, business
Can make your world go 'round
(love)
Can really bring you down
(love)
It's such a state of mind
(love)
Can take a long long time
(love)
I've got to figure out love
(love)
It's such a tricky thing
(love)
Can include diamond rings
(love)
Will make you scream and shout
(love)
If there is no way out
(love)
And tonight can you get us a ride
Gotta make it through the tunnel
Got a meeting with a man on the other side
Hey Eddie, this guy, he's the real thing
So if you want to come along
You gotta promise you won't say anything
'Cause this guy don't dance
And the word's been passed this is our last chance
We gotta stay cool tonight, Eddie
'Cause man, we got ourselves out on that line
And if we blow this one
They ain't gonna be looking for just me this time
And all we gotta do is hold up our end
Here stuff this in your pocket
It'll look like you're carrying a friend
And remember, just don't smile
Change your shirt, 'cause tonight we got style
Well Cherry says she's gonna walk
'Cause she found out I took her radio and hocked it
But Eddie, man, she don't understand
That two grand's practically sitting here in my pocket
And tonight's gonna be everything that I said
And when I walk through that door
I'm just gonna throw that money on the bed
She'll see this time I wasn't just talking
Then I'm gonna go out walking
Hey Eddie, can you catch us a ride ?
"Meeting Across the River", Bruce Springsteen

Womens liberation
Came creepin across the nation
I tell you people I was not ready
When I fucked this dyke by the name of freddie
She made a little speech then,
Aw, she tried to make me say when
She had my balls in a vice, but she left the dick
I guess it's still hooked on, but now it shoots too quick
Oh God I am the american dream
But now I smell like vaseline
An Im a miserable sonofabitch
Am I a boy or a lady...i don't know which
(I wonder wonder
Wonder wonder)
So I went out n bought me a leisure suit
I jingle my change, but Im still kinda cute
Got a job doin radio promo
An none of the jocks can even tell Im a homo
Eventually me n a friend
Sorta drifted along into s&m
I can take about an hour on the tower of power
Long as I gets a little golden shower
Oh God I am the american dream
With a spindle up my butt till it makes me scream
An I'll do anything to get ahead
I lay awake nights sayin, thank you, fred!
Oh god, oh god, Im so fantastic!
Thanks to freddie, Im a sexual spastic
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down,
And my name is bobby brown
Watch me now, Im goin down, etc.

Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away

And life is so cruel without you here beside me

When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart My heart

that i choose
sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback
and a torture tattoo
and i been riding on a ghost train where the cars
they scream and slam
and i don't know where i'll be tonight but i'd
always tell you where i am
in a screaming ring of faces i seen her standing
in the light
she had a ticket for the races just like me she
was a victim of the night
i put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and
let it roll
i had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow
through my heart and my
soul
and the big wheel keep on turning neon
burning up above
and i'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
it's just the danger when you're riding at your
own risk
she said you are the perfect stranger she said
baby let's keep it like this
it's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up
and say
hey mister give me two give me two cos any two
can play
and the big wheel keep on turning neon
burning up above
and i'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
well it's been money for muscle another whirligig
money for muscle and another girl i dig
another hustle just to make it big
and rockaway rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it
always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it
always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
she took off a silver locket she said remember me
by this
she put her hand in my pocket i got a keepsake
and a kiss
and in the roar of the dust and diesel i stood
and watched her walk away
i could have caught up with her easy enough but
something must have made me
stay
and the big wheel keep on turning neon
burning up above
and i'm just high on the world
come on and take a low ride with me girl
on the tunnel of love
and now i'm searching through these carousels and
the carnival arcades
searching everywhere from steeplechase to
palisades
in any shooting gallery where promises are made
to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley
bay out to rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always
did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did
like the spanish city to me when we were kids
Tunnel of love, dire straights, whoa
By the way u parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
See you're the kinda person
That believes in makin' out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb
'Cuz U had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And U say what have I got 2 lose?
And honey I say
Little red corvette
Baby you're much 2 fast
Little red corvette
U need a love that's gonna last
I guess I shoulda closed my eyes
When U drove me 2 the place
Where your horses run free
'Cuz I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not
I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it all right
And U say, "Baby, have U got enough gas?"
Oh yeah

The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.
Thank you for words and
all their gathering forms;
I love their angry mobs
and their beautiful choirs;
I love their subtle depth
and double lives.
Thank you for introducing them
to music.
Thank you for the song and for
those who know how to use it.
