I'll never write another song
For someone who just comes along -
The very thought of losing you
Is too much for me to.
The other day when you got mad,
It made you...
Well, you know the boss was a good man,
But kindness on its own don't pay.
"You can figure you're part of the cut-back"
Was all that he could say.
Hard times,
Wel...
Sit down, girl, beside me,
Come tell me 'bout your lights.
Got so much to talk about,
Yeah, we could stay out all night.
Long time ago we were lovers
Like no one e...
In another time and space
You meet your maker face to face.
You know who cast the spell
And turned his eye on you,
Can't lose sight of it,
Never fading out,
Fading ...
Why does love have to?
Where does it go to
Outta my door?
How much have you got?
Is it enough for me
Or will i want more?
Oh,oh, you tell me you just want so...
She was a lonely girl without a dream,
Then one day a flash of light, down by that stream,
Far away, on a silver screen, she saw an image of herself
She'd never seen.
No more l...
I got home about three A.M.,
Working my fingers to the bone.
My woman's waiting up for me,
Gonna put me through the third degree.
"Where you been? Who you seen?"
Is all s...
When I was just a boy at school
The kids all said that I was cool.
Even said I could go far, just me and my guitar.
I combed my hair in a big El quiff,
Lots of grease to make i...
Blue skies in my rear-view mirror,
Well, I've got you on my mind.
Road sign says I'm getting nearer,
And now it's just a matter of time.
Well, now I get to wonder,
I first saw you on the center spread of my favorite magazine -
Not too shy, but you stirred the ghost inside of my machine,
Made me forget about Einstein and his time of sense.
Are y...
I was somewhere on the open road,
Between the East and the West -
It was a no man's land,
And rumor says that it was a wilderness.
Forty days it took me, forty nights,
I'...
What can I say?
My position is clear
When it comes to you
I got the right idea.
I just can't stand you
For one more day -
When daylight breaks
I'll be miles a...
I thought I had been every place a man could be,
'Till I met a lady who brought me to my knees.
The day I stop loving is the day that I die,
But now I'm running from her game 'cause ...
Hey, Mama, hey,
I got a fix for your despair
I said, hey, Mama, hey,
I got connections everywhere.
Anything you want, I got.
Do you want to know the score?
Right h...
Like a fighter that lost his will to kill
You knew it was time to go,
But as i lay in a state of surrender
You chose me to say your last hello.
Like a fighter that lost his wil...
Checked in tonight, when I noticed the red light.
Picked up the phone and I called the operator -
She said a lady left a name and a number.
Hey, operator, don't you think you could c...
I'm amazed at the way you do,
You do the things that they want you to.
Can't you see there's a turning tide?
It's going to turn into a landslide.
The ground will fall f...
When I was a stranger to you in the night
And the feeling tells you, out of sympathy,
To open up your wings, turn your head to the sky,
Take off like a bird, let your heart be free. ...
Underworld, the queen of pearls
Catches the light that's in your eyes.
She has desires, and has to get higher,
Trying to love the whole world.
Mother of pearl
She...
I was a long way from home, on the streets of shame,
Where the women in cages play any kind of game.
That's when I saw her, and I looked into her eyes -
I don't speak the language, b...
