 1. SALLY WORKS IN A CHINESE TAKE OUT Its Sunday afternoon, I'll try to keep my cool And tell her how much she means to me So I walk into the store, shaking like the week before And she says, 'May I take your order please?' Chorus Sally works in a Chinese take out She only works on Sunday I wake up every Monday with Sally on my mind Can't wait for this week to go by Cause Sally's everything I buy the same each week, but its just to see Sally For my heart, yeah, it speeds from MSG But its worth it all to me, Sally's my Fujian Queen For her smile, I'd sail the China Sea Chorus Bridge Yeah, she flies behind the counter Oh, she's bagging up the orders And I talk, but she don't hear me Oh, you she's just so busy Chorus
Sure hope she shows
For I've been waiting here so long And I'm feeling out of place in this cafe I know she knows That with just one little smile She could steal your heart away forever more Chorus And some day I'll tell her that I love her Some day I hope she feels the same But I don't know Time goes so slow And the waitress looks at me And she knows that I'm in need of company I make believe that she's sitting here with me And I'm living in a world of fantasy Chorus Chorus Sure hope she shows For its getting so damn late And at home my bed is waiting there for me I'll leave a note On this table I will write How I waited here all night all alone Chorus

My Lonely Mind
 1. PARADISE Well I woke up One day in bed Blinked my eyes And shook my head The world I knew Before I slept Was not the same As what I left Chorus Eyeballs to the sky, this must be paradise All was wrong turned right, now life is paradise Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh something changed in me I'm glad at last, happy at last I must have dreamt it in my sleep That life's too short for me to weep So don't worry about anything How life will be, well let it be Chorus Bridge Well I used to carry the weight of the world Overly concerned, when will I ever learn? But now I wouldn't waste a grain of sand From the hourglass of my life For things beyond control I'll tell you cause I know Chorus Something changed in me
Although we've only met, I want to tell you everything
Speaking quicker than my lips My words must sound like gibberish If I seem insecure its just that I want you to want me With eyes I can't forget I'd love to show you everything Acting like we're best of friends you must think I'm an idiot You can call it like it is as long as you don't reject me Chorus I feel like an idiot, a perfect idiot, would you consider it To have have a perfect idiot? A perfect idiot in your life? I'm sure you think I'm strange to come on like a speeding train But life is quick to change and this would be a perfect way What more can I say? I just want for you to want me Chorus Bridge Ain't it like Hollywood, Gone With The Wind, African Queen Breakfast at Tiffany's, it would work out perfectly Chorus A perfect idiot in your life
Heartbeat louder and harder, deeper and faster Its getting late, I gotta get to sleep I feel lost in the memory, fearing the future She'll never know how much she means to me Chorus Take it slow, the best I know, waiting for this night to go I hear her voice, I feel her lips, there's no one there Its just a myth in my lonely mind Heartbeat, each word that she said lingers in my head Spinning in my mind with disbelief When she wakes in the morning, she'll be well rested Never giving any thought to me Chorus Bridge I don't have to tell you how hard it is for me Cause honey when I see you my world falls out under my feet Chorus My lonely mind In my lonely mind, my lonely mind In my lonely mind, my lonely mind In my lonely mind, my lonely mind
Give me love and lust and all of that stuff
I live my life only for the good times Show me crazy girls who don't give a damn Don't wait all night before they take chances Gotta make the night a shot in the dark Want to find a girl whose looking for a good time Show me a sign of an open mind I can't waste time, you know you got to take chances Rings on my fingers only turn them green Love and lust don't cost me anything Give me love and lust and all of that stuff I live my life only for the good times Show me crazy girls who don't give a damn Don't wait all night before they take chances Gotta make the night a shot in the dark Want to find a girl whose looking for a good time I gotta have a good time Live life only for the good times Live life only for the good times Live life only for the good times Yeah Give me love and lust and all of that stuff I live my life only for the good times Show me crazy girls who don't give a damn Don't wait all night before they take chances Gotta make the night a shot in the dark Want to find a girl whose looking for a good time I gotta have a good time Live life only for the good times Live life only for the good times Live life only for the good times Live life only for the good times Live life only for the good times Live life only for the good times
I ain't young anymore, there's no time to change my dreams I am what I am and thats all that I'll be But I've got fish to fry, I got my arrogance So what you get is what you see But I wanted to be your hero, I thought I'd save your day But do you look at me now as a loser Whose life you couldn't change? I got the world by the balls, cause I've see it all so don't think You'll put one on me that easily, cause I've been kicked around And stumbled on the ground and smiled through tears of grief But I wanted to be your hero kind of like James Dean But do you look at me now as some dreamer Who dreamed his life away? Yeah, I tend to drink a lot, but what else do I got? And yeah, my life's the way I want, won't have it no other way I ain't young anymore so there's no time to change my dreams I am what I am and that's all that I'll be It took me years to get what's inside this head And I'll take it when I leave But I wanted to be your hero in every single way But I guess I'm just some loser who dreamed his life away A life you couldn't change I dreamed my life away
Must be my lucky day, according to the stars
ItÕs been so many years, I wondered where you've gone It feels, it feels, so surreal, to finally see you now More than just my needs fulfilled To make it all worthwhile Tears and dreams, what I know best With shameful eyes, I do confess Did you wear that cute red dress for me? Chorus You fall, I'll fall, hide behind the garden wall I will catch you if you wish And keep you safe and warm within without Its easier said than done to try to read your mind Following my heart let memories lead me on But through the years, I'm sure we've changed And memories run disarray Did you wear that perfume just for me? Chorus Bridge Cold winter's night cries out to the moonlight Stars filled with wishes that linger in your eyes There hasn't been a day gone by I haven't thought about you my dear Tears and dreams that I know best With shameful eyes I do confess Say you wore that cute red dress for me Yeah, say you wore it for me, baby, I know you did Chorus
Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop
Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop Its like Pop-Rock, but its really just a word from the wise Its not Hip-Hop, so who am I to give you any advice? Everywhere itÕs all the same A sucker born a day with a fool on the way Who would confess? Which words fit them the best? Sing it loud if you know how Chorus Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop Its like Disco, of course it talks about the shallow and weak Its not Smooth-Jazz, cause you canÕt spit it out in the sink Real is real, but you can fake it Fools take a fall where the wise never make it Are you tricked yet? These words you will obsess Sing it loud if you know how Chorus Bridge Well its coming up fast so IÕll give it a shot Some shoot dope and some smoke pot Heads up baby when the hammer drops Hide your sugar and cover your rocks Clever are the spies for the hiding in the bushes Camouflage hats and the cameras a-clicking Smiling in your face but they know who theyÕre tricking So you better stay sharp for they do it with conviction Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop Bop-bop-boppa-bop-shoo-wop Its like Glam-Rock For you have to dress the part to survive Its not Folk-Rock For they never sing with tears in their eyes Slide your way down to salvation You gotta stand in line So you better be patient And keep your head So let the truth be said Sing it loud if you know how Chorus
We live in a house made of glass
You can look right in and see the furniture is old We live in a house made of glass We can look right out and see what we donÕt have But itÕs all right because weÕre used to it And we wonÕt say a word about anyone Yeah itÕs all right because weÕre used to it So donÕt say a word against anyone I feel your strength, I feel so weak The armies roll in desert heat And where's the god that's never seen? You must be sleeping Yeah it's all right because we're used to it And we won't say a word about anyone Yeah it's all right because we're used to it So don't say a word against anyone Cause you can't hide because we see through it And you must come to terms with what's really true We live in a house made of glass You can look right in and see the furniture is old
As if made of tin stand the old grey men
Drunk again at Rush's Tavern With beers in their hands In the window they stand Watching the world that ignores them Years came and went for the old grey men Lost in the memories between them You can hear them sigh How life has passed them by Memories is all that is left them There's old Fred, his wife is ten years dead Chad in his day was a boxer Andy in his prime ran the race in record time But now he gets on with a walker Look in their eyes, see the fools, see the wise Dreams and misunderstanding Happiness and pain, the love lost and gained Drinking their days till the sunset But each day ends the way that it begins Talking of the things as they once were Between repeated lines, stories intertwine Followed by sad eyes of silence Life took a spin for the old grey men Across they stand from Rush's Tavern Rush's was sold and then it was closed Leaving the lost souls to wonder
I'll leave tonight with bright red skies
That fade to amber gray While Emily, she's fast asleep Starring in a dream Oh, a year has passed Since our lips met last Oh, Emily, she lives in Ireland And I won't live my life without her So, Emily, I'll be there in Kildare Holding you tenderly She works a job at Temple Bar That's how we met last year Who would of thought our distant love Would never disappear? I wear her kiss on my lonely lips Oh, Emily, she lives in Ireland And I won't live my life without her So, Emily, I'll be there in Kildare Holding you tenderly I relive the day we said goodbye On a bench in Steven's Green I held her heart and she held mine As the misty Irish rain came down Oh, Emily, she lives in Ireland And I won't live my life without her So, Emily, I'll be there in Kildare Holding you tenderly My Emily, she lives in Ireland And I won't live my life without her So, Emily, I'll be there in Kildare Holding you tenderly Emily lives in Ireland

Blind Love Sees Tears 1. SPEAKS LITTLE ENGLISH
Happy as we go, walking down the road in Tokyo Muki is her name and I met her on the train for Kyoto Chorus I know she loves me, she tells me with her eyes Speaks little English In the USA, we want to build a life on enchantment Counting all the stars that shoot across the eastern skys Chorus Bridge I took a plane across the world to meet a girl that loves me more than I could ever love myself and feels the way I want someone to feel I know she loves me True eyes could never lie Speaks little English Bridge Chorus
I can't make the teardrops stop To build a wall around my heart I can't make the teardrops stop To build a wall You never could be in my world Not that I'd want you to I never would be in your world Not that I think I should I'm lazy, so crazy Yeah, I'm no fuckin' good So boring and stupid Well then, I'm just like you Two worlds never meant to meet Two worlds colliding And as I struggle to my feet I look inside them Always above me With your life so rich It takes a fool to tell you You're just a clueless bitch Ahhhh, I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding Chorus My world is only what you see No hidden valleys Your world is sinking in the sea Of perfected lying Nothing to tell me Nothing left to say I wash my dreams out In a velvet rain Chorus What do you feel? How do you think? Are you sincere with each word you speak? Yet, at times, I can't help think, inside you're shallow Nothing to tell me Nothing left to say I wash my dreams out In a velvet rain Chorus
3. NEW YORK MINING DISASTER (1941)
(Barry, Robin, & Maurice Gibb) Nothing to hold them
No need to try, say 'So long' It was just what it was But weren't they so continental Doing everything just right There's no need to feel sentimental When the common dream divides Nothing to hold them Not like before Its so wrong No words could calm the storm But weren't they so 'Romeo and Juliet' Token lovers of our time But now it seems as though they're always arguing Like little kids with selfish minds Bridge All those years of trust and respect Turn to scars of regret Wishing they never met Were they so continental Doing everything just right? There's no need to feel sentimental When the common dream divides Nothing to hold them Nothing to hold them Nothing to hold them Say 'Goodbye' To look inside a selfish mind
Where every day you're the center No one can make you something that you're not And if I try to, where would I start? As we define wrong from right Its all a play, for nothing's changing If I could tell you, would you have me say Words to convince you, not to break the chain? Chorus Now she walks by like a stranger Her eyes show no emotion Shame on me, I lost my closest friend Shame on me, I lost my closest friend Shame on me, I lost my closest friend These walls they speak, so honestly Like movie scenes, how my mind wonders Each day grows longer but never long enough To find the answers to bring us back as one Chorus Bridge Acting as if I could care less Outsides all right, insides a mess Well I feel, yes, I feel so lost Chorus The last on line for my affection
Aging myself, now I understand Never said your name with importance Though life has left you silent Can you hear? Chorus This is just a song for Cecelia Elizabeth Busy painting rainbows in the sky If you ever saw my Cecelia Elizabeth It is raining lovedrops from her eyes Held me near, those infant years, and sang her heart High lee high low, the monsters ran away Gave herself and never wanted nothing Protected me when I was so afraid Chorus Bridge Her hair was silver gray Strands of red from younger days Slowly fade with age An empty kitchen chair An apron torn that needs repair An old man's eyes in tears Chorus I met her drunk on the dance floor
Fell on her bag walking out the door We started to talk, got to know each other better I took her home and I called her later Chorus Oh yeah You know I met a beauty Just like in the movies And love don't fool me Uh huh, loving time So we'll start as best of friends I'll take my time before I move in You gotta take it easy or she'll think you're sleazy I hope some day that girl will need me Chorus All I can see is you and me I think about you, think about you, think about you Sooner or later you know I'm gonna getcha But as for now, I'm glad I metcha You better dig me baby or I'll drive you crazy I'll tell you now I don't give up easy Chorus Don't feel ashamed, its not your fault
I know losing's hard to take You could fill an ocean with your tears Then slowly sail away I've tried to warn you countless times Have you learned by now? To see what's true and what's a lie You'll find Chorus Blind love sees tears Blind love sees tears Blind love sees tears Nothing sincere to hold on It will never be the same Pondering the dream, although its gone Thinking loudly, you say She'd never leave me, but if she did How will I go on? Making the best of what there is Inside Chorus Haven't I tried to fill your needs To make you want no one but me? A side of you I've never seen The biggest fool you've made of me Don't feel ashamed, its not your fault I know losing's hard to take You could fill an ocean with your tears Then slowly sail away With every stary moonlit night Roams the searching souls Making the best of how they feel Inside Chorus Do as I say, not as I do
And life will be my gift to you You'll understand when you come of age By then I know my name will fade Chorus So dream your dreams Let them be wild You have my eyes My only child In your new world every day is a game And how I wish I could watch you play To see you grow through changes and stages As I live with mistakes that I've made Chorus And when I look around All that I see are promises that I can't keep Promises Do as I say, not as I do Well its a quarter to three
I'm drunk as can be But I think I'll have one more before home So stinkin' from drink But still on my feet I stumble in the Buffalo Bar And there she was The queen of lonely love Sluggin' beer out of a jug Well I'd admit I ain't no Brad Pitt But I'm not going home with a mutt Chorus 'Cause if its better than nothing, then I'll take nothing If its better than nothing, I'll take nothing, yeah I'm like a caveman from the prehistoric time But I make up my mind on my own Well she said to me, as she drooled in my drink 'Would you like to take a sweet lady home?' I started to think, if I had more to drink, She'd become the queen of the prom But I would die with the morning sunrise And the booze ran thin in my veins Well I'd admit I'm lonely as shit But I could do much better than this Chorus Well she grabbed on me like an old dog in heat And I tripped and I fell to the floor And then with her hands, grabbed on me like a man I was making my way out the door Chorus Sorry, a word to dry your eyes
One word to heal your heart inside I was lonely and you weren't there She said words that led me to her bed I'll be incredibly lonely Please don't leave me Sorry with each forgiving kiss Ones that, if you leave me, I will miss Sweetheart we've known each other years And I would be lost without your tenderness I'll be regretfully lonely Please don't leave me Life would be an empty place Shades of sadness from my mistake I'll make it up to you some way Darling don't you leave Can you still love me? Sorry, a word to dry your tears One word not often said sincere But I'll say to you til your eyes dry Sorry sorry sorry

1. Stone to Throw |
Insides 1. Stone to Throw Young and dumb, and crazy as they come Selfishly naive, you'll get yours yet When dreams fall short and time goes fast You'll wonder what is real, or in your head Chorus Worry about yourself, don't worry about me I cut my path by trials and schemes I walked alone and I paved the road I'm just a stone for you to throw Eyes so bright with fool's insight The picture perfect world so often fades And when you think you got it made The dreams you held so near slip away Chorus Lay it down Its not the same old thing Your mother lies asleep While you run wild enraged So let's go out, yeah go crazy Don't stay home you'll grow fat and lazy Cause the night it filled with heated passion Buy a gun 'cause its in fashion, yeah Chorus
2. Eleanor Rigby
(Lennon & McCartney) Some make it easy to put it over
4. Just Say LoveI gotta find a conversation line See the pretty ones dressed in leathers I'm goin' out to see what I could find Chorus Rap, rap line, yeah that's what I need Talk at the right time, knowing just what to say You can't be too shy, you look out of place And little white lies is all you need to say Love doesn't fool me like infatuation My situation is love to find I'm in a race with no beginnings But your eyes are blue and tonight you could be mine Chorus Blue, blue, see the moon glow Hot lonely summer night Hear the echoes of a heartbeat Deep in love, infatuated There ain't a diamond that could shine bright enough for you The world is empty without you in it Nights in solitude Chorus I'll come running, just say love Each night seems the same thing Sit talking to myself Everybody's got a baby Some dream of lovers maybe's. Words can't be spoken That could break a heart like yours in two Yet mine is aching without you near me Crying out for you Chorus Like a roller coaster now And I feel it going down She'll lose out, I know somehow Oh it hurts me, yes it hurts me Well I feel good, yeah I feel great
6. Freedom's BloodThe sun is high, the night awaits Sidewalks burn like coals on fire So you could dance now with your sneakers on We can go down on the streets through this valley of stone Chorus We'll dance 'cause we want to Dance 'cause we need to Can't tell us not to dance So we do our sidewalk dance I'll sidewalk dance with you Sidewalk dance Well I don't care what they say We could dance our lives away While the shark-eyes watch by with desires They're too square to dance at all Hey let's go down on the streets through this valley of stone Chorus Well I feel good, yeah I feel great The sun is high, the night awaits And the sidewalks burn like coals on fire Cause we could dance our lives away. Statue stands high Goddess of democracy Students hold signs Tanks are rolling down the street Will we survive? Or will we die with our dreams? Hear mothers cry As their children bleed Chorus Freedom's blood Freedom's blood Lying down on the ground in Beijing Soldiers stand 'round As night falls on a turmoil town Students yell loud Democracy will rule our future now But all of their voices Turn to silent tears The government forces Attacked with Satan's spears Chorus You can't control the mind You can't control someone's feelings (free as my soul) I'd rather wake up dead than to live under suppression And as the sun rided on a shattered town For all of those who died A page in history now Chorus 7. When I Met You Love, love, so in love
8. Walk in CirclesFeel, feel, feeling love Chorus Every dream that I had came true When I met you Soft and warm, are your eyes As mine gaze in joy they cry Chorus Wherever I go you're always with me Locked deep in my heart And any time you feel lonely Call on me, call on me You can call on me Love, love, so in love Feel, feel, feeling love Chorus
Come with me my love
9. ZipporaCome with me right now Come with me my love Come with me right now Have you seen the fields Through these lonely eyes? Can you hear the forest cry? Late at night your name it whispers Chorus Well it's strange to think nothing on earth Could ever fill the void In a daze I walk in circles Asking myself why she left me Come to me my love Come to me right now Come to me my love Come to me right now I'll build you a house (A house to live) In your favorite town Diamond rings and gowns All the things that young girls dream of Chorus Zippora, Zippora
10. The Sky is BlueLocked in your bedroom I'm downstairs, lying on the sofa With my invisible girl The blocks in the ceiling Remind of Zippora I count them all Feeling like I used to You know the feeling only when you want to Chorus Love is love Love is love Whoa, oh, oh... If this is love, why can't I find it? Down in the valley Of make believe Sallys My mind's linked to a single heartbeat That pounds so hard on my wall Imagining that I'm Tucked tightly by your side I'll say the word hoping for the right time The night is old, we could watch the sunrise Chorus Love is love Love is love Whoa, oh, oh... If this is love, why can't I find it? Gonna find it. In your mind Where am I? Whoa, oh, oh... If this is love, why can't I find it? If this is love, I'm gonna find it. If this is love, why do I? The sky is blue
And the world spins round Life stands still In a shell looking out It could take forever to learn to love yourself The sky is blue And the world spins fine No clouds in the sky Though it rains in my mind If there is a rainbow It seems so hard to find The sky is blue All alone with my feelings And they'll never subside Solitude plays a tune And I don't understand why The sky is blue And the whole world smiles No face with a frown Or eyes to the ground If the world can't feel the sadness Then its only in my mind The sky is blue I see their sad eyes They seem so empty No one to love them Who has feelings? I dream my dreams were meaning nothing Losing feeling slowly lying |
