Don't Bore Us - Get To The Chorus

June Afternoon

Didn't I tell you everything is possible in this deja vu? Try the river

boat, the carousel, feed the pigeons, Bar-B-Q. Look at all the people,

happy faces all around. Smiling, throwing kisses, busy making lazy sounds

It's a bright June afternoon, it never gets dark. Wah-wah! Here comes the

sun. Get your green, green tambourine, let's play in the park. Wah-wah!

Here comes the sun Some folks are on blankets, slowly daydreaming and

reaching for their food. Let's go buy an ice-cream and a magazine with an

attitude and put on a cassette, we can pretend that you're a star cos

life's so very simple just like la-la-la It's a bright June afternoon...

There's a painter painting his masterpiece. There are some squirrels

jumping in the trees, There's a wide-eyed boy with a red balloon. All my

life I've longed for this afternoon.

You Don't Understand Me

I've been up all night, you've been puttin' up a fight. Seems like nothin'

I say gets through. How did this old bed fit a world between me and you.

We said "Goodnight" but the silence was so thick you could cut it with a

knife. We've hit the wall again and there's nothin' I can do. You're the

one, yea, I've put all my trust in your hands. C'mon and look in my eyes,

here I am, here I am You don't understand me, my baby. You don't seem to

know that I need you so much. You don't understand me, my feelings, the

reason I'm breathin', my love The mornin' comes and you're reaching out

for me just like everything's the same and I let myself believe things are

gonna change. When you kiss my mouth and you hold my body close, do you

wonder who's inside? Maybe there's no way we could feel each other's pain.

Tell me why it gets harder to know where I stand. I guess loneliness found

a new friend, here I am You don't understand me... You don't seem to get

me, my baby. You don't really see that I live for your touch. You don't

understand me, my dreams or the things I believe in, my love. You don't

understand me. You don't understand me. Understand me.

The Look

1-2-3-4 walking like a man, hitting like a hammer, she's a juvenile scam.

Never was a quitter, tasty like a raindrop, she's got the look. Heavenly

bound cause heaven's got a number when she's spinning me around, kissing

is a colour. Her loving is a wild dog, she's got the look. She's got the

look. She's got the look. What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl

turn blue. When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you and I go: la la la

la la she's got the look. Fire in the ice naked to the t-bone is a lover's

disguise. Banging on the head drum, shaking like a mad bull, she's got the

look. Swaying to the band, moving like a hammer she's a miracle man.

Loving is the ocean, kissing is the wet sand, she's got the look. And she

goes: na na na na na na na na.

Dressed For Success

Tried to make it little by little, tried to make it bit by bit on my own.

Quit the job, the grey believers, another town where I get close to the

bone. Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh whatcha gonna tell your

father? - I don't know! Whatcha gonna tell your mother? - Let me go... I'm

gonna get dressed for success shaping me up for the big time, baby. Get

dressed for success shaping it up for your love yea yea yea. I'm not

afraid, a trembling flower, I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from

your eyes and in the dark things happen faster. I love the way you sway

your hips next to mine. Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh... I'm

gonna get dressed for success, hitting a spot for the big time, baby. Get

Listen To Your Heart

I know there's something in the wake of your smile. I get a notion from

the look in your eyes, yea. You've built a love but that love falls apart.

Your little piece of heaven turns too dark. Listen to your heart when he's

calling for you. Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do. I

don't know where you're going and I don't know why, but listen to your

heart before you tell him goodbye. Sometimes you wonder if this fight is

worthwhile. The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea. They're

swept away and nothing is what is seems, the feeling of belonging to your

dreams. And there are voices that want to be heard. So much to mention but

you can't find the words. The scent of magic, the beauty that's been when

love was wilder than the wind.

Dangerous

You pack your bag. You take control. You're moving into my heart and into

my soul. Get out of my way! Get out of my sight! I won't be walking on

thin ice to get through the night. Hey, where's your work? What's your

game? I know your business but I don't know your name... Hold on tight,

you know she's a little bit dangerous. She's got what it takes to make

ends meet the eyes of a lover that hit like heat. You know she's a little

bit dangerous. You turn around, so hot and dry. You're hiding under a

halo, your mouth is alive. Get out of my way! Get out of my sight! I'm not

attracted to go-go deeper tonight. Hey, what's your word? What's your

game? I know your business but I don't know your name... Hold on tight...

She's armed and she's extremely dangerous...

It Must Have Been Love

Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground. I wake up

lonely, there's air of silence in the bedroom and all around. Touch me

now, I close my eyes and dream away. It must have been love but it's over

now. It must have been good but I lost it somehow. It must have been love

but it's over now. From the moment we touched 'til the time had run out.

Make-believing we're together, that I'm sheltered by your heart. But in

and outside I've turned to water like a teardrop in your palm. And it's a

hard winter's day, I dream away. It must have been love but it's over now,

it was all that I wanted, now I'm living without. It must have been love

but it's over now, it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.

Joyride

i hit the road out of nowhere, i had to jump in my car and be a rider in a

love game following the stars, don't need no book of wisdom, i get no

money talk at all. she has a train going downtown, she's got a club on the

moon and she's telling all her secrets in a wonderful balloon. oh she's

the heart of the funfair, she's got me whistling her private tune. and it

all begins

where it ends, and she's all mine, my magic friend.she says: hello, you

fool, i love you, c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride. she's a

flower, i can paint her, she's a child of the sun, we're a part of this

together, could never turn around and run. don't need no fortune teller to

know where my lucky love belongs oh no.cos it all begins again when it

ends, and we're all magic friends. she says: hello, you fool, i love you,

c'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider. i take you on a skyride, a felling

like you're spellbound. the sunshine is a lady who rox you like a baby.

Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)

in a time where the sun descends alone, i ran a long long way from home to

find a heart that's made of stone. i will try, i just need a little time

to get your face right out of my mind, to see the world through different

eyes. every time i see you oh i try to hide away but when we meet it seems

i can't let go. every time you leave the room i feel i'm fading like a

flower. tell me why? when i scream there's no reply, when i reach out

there's nothing to find, when i sleep i break down and cry. every time i

see you oh i try to hide away but when we meet it seems i can't let go.

every time you leave the room i feel i'm fading like a flower. fading like

a rose, fading like a rose, beaten by the storm, talking to myself,

getting washed by the rain, it's such a cold cold town.

The Big L.

she's the top, she's got the world on a string. she makes me boogie, makes

me do anything yea yea. - hey now, touch the sky, you've got a certain

kind of look in your eyes. well, she's a miracle, she's all that i need

like the water and the air that i breathe yea yea. - hey now, reach the

sky, there's certain kind of look in your smile. and i know what love can

do. yes i know what hearts can do. the big love is taking the wheel, the

big love goes head over heels, the big lust, bring it into the small

world, the bigger, the better. big love, waiting to catch the big one,

head over heels, the big one, bring it into the small world. i'm building

the big big love, i'm building the big big love. it's kinda strange, a bit

mysterious, i gotta take it oh so so serious. - hey now, touch the sky,

you've got a certain kind of look in your eyes. it used to be so hard, so

lonely at night, well, she's my baby and i'm feeling alright. - hey now,

move the sky, there's a certain kind of look in that smile. when i'm

making love with her. when i'm making love to her yea. it has to be a big

thing. it's bringing me to my knees. has to be a big thing, big thing, ya

know what i'm saying...

Spending My Time

what's the time? seems it's already morning. i see the sky, it's so

beautiful and blue. the tv's on but the only thing showing is a picture of

you. oh i get up and make myself some coffee. i try to read a bit but the

story's too thin. i thank the lord above that you're not here to see me in

this shape i'm in. spending my time, watching the days go by. feeling so

small, i stare at the wall, hoping that you think of me too. i'm spending

my time. i try to call but i don't know what to tell you. i leave a kiss

on your answering machine. oh help me please, is there someone who can

make me wake up from this dream? spending my time, watching the days go

by. feeling so small, i stare at the wall, hoping that you are missing me

too. i'm spending my time, watching the sun go down. i fall asleep to the

sound of "tears of a clown," a prayer gone blind. i'm spending my time. my

friends keep telling me: hey, life will go on, time will make sure i'll

get over you. this silly game of love - you play, you win only to lose.

How Do You Do!

I see you comb your hair and gimme that grin. It's making me spin now,

spinnin' within. Before I melt like snow, I say Hello - How do you do! I

love the way you undress now. Baby begin. Do your caress, honey, my

heart's in a mess. I love your blue-eyed voice, like Tiny Tim shines thru.

How do you do! Well, here we are crackin' jokes in the corner of our

mouths and I feel like I'm laughing in a dream. If I was young I could

wait outside your school cos your face is like the cover of a magazine.

How do you do, do you do, the things that you do. No one I know could ever

keep up with you. How do you do! Did it ever make sense to you to say Bye

Bye Bye? I see you in that chair with perfect skin. Well, how have you

been, baby, livin' in sin? Hey, I gotta know, did you say Hello - How do

you do? Well, here we are spending time in the louder part of town and it

feels like everything's surreal. When I get old I will wait outside your

house cos your hands have got the power meant to heal. How do you do...

Almost Unreal

Babe, come in from the cold and put that coat to rest. Step inside, take a

deep breath, and do what you do best. Yes, kick off them shoes and leave

those city streets. I do believe love came our way, and fate did arrange

for us to meet. I love when you do that hocus pocus to me. The way that

you touch, you've got the power to heal. You give me that look, it's

almost unreal. It's almost unreal. Hey, we can't stop the rain, let's find

a place by the fire. Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems, you've been in

my dreams all my life. I love when you do that hocus pocus to me. The way

that you touch, you've got the power to heal. You give me that look, it's

almost unreal. It's almost unreal. It's a crazy world out there. It's a

crazy... Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight. Oh, I love when

you do that hocus pocus to me. The way that you touch, you've got the

power to heal. You give me that look, it's almost unreal. It's almost

unreal, so unreal. Yea come on and do the hocus pocus to me. The way that

you touch, you've got the power to heal. You give me that look, it's

almost unreal. It's almost unreal, yea. It's almost unreal. Do the hocus

pocus to me. Do the hocus pocus...

Sleeping In My Car

I'll tell you what I've done. I'll tell you what I'll do. Been driving all

nite just to get close to you. Baby Babe - I'm moving so fast.You'd better

come on. The moon is alright. The freeway's heading south. My hard is

going Boom! There's a strange taste in my mouth. Baby Babe - I'm moving

real fast. So try to hold on. Try to hold on! Sleeping in my car - I will

undress you. Sleeping in my car - I will caress you. Staying in the back

seat of my car making up. So come out tonight. I'll take you for a ride.

This steamy ol' wagon. The radio is getting wild. Baby Babe - we're moving

so fast. I try to hang on. Try to hang on! Sleeping in my car - I will

undress you. Sleeping in my car - I will caress you. Staying in the back

seat of my car making love, oh yea! Sleeping in my car - I will possess

you. Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you. Laying in the back seat of

my car making up. The night is so pretty and so young. The night is so

pretty and so young. So very young... Sleeping in my car - I will undress

you. Sleeping in my car - I will caress you. Staying in the back seat of

my car making love to you. Sleeping in my car - I will possess you.

Sleeping in my car - certainly bless you. Laying in the back seat of my

car making up. I will undress you. I will undress you. The night is so

pretty and so young.

Crash! Boom! Bang!

My Papa told me to stay out of trouble. "When you've found your man, make

sure he's for real!". I've learned that nothing really lasts forever. I

sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal. They won't heal. Cos every

time I seem to fall in love, Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart but then

I hit the wall, Crash! Boom! Bang! That's the call, that's the game and

the pain stays the same. I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere. I

pass by the houses and blocks I once knew. My Mama told me not to mess

with sorrow. But I always did, and Lord, I still do. I'm still breaking

the rules (I kick it up, I kick it down). Cos every time I seem to fall in

love, Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart but then I hit the wall, Crash!

Boom! Bang! That's my real middle-name. It has always been the same.

That's the call, that's the game and the pain stays the same. I still feel

the heat (slowly fallin' from the sky) and the taste of the kissing.

Shattered by rain (comin' tumblin' from behind) and the wild holy war. (I

kick it up, I kick it down) And every time I seem to fall in love, Crash!

Boom! Bang!. I find the roses dying on the floor, Crash! Boom! Bang!

That's the tall, that's the game and the pain stays the same. That's my

real middle-name. It has always been the same. Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea

Uh-huh. Been the same, been the same. It has always been the same.

Vulnerable

Everywhere I look I see her smile, her absent-minded eyes. And she has

kept me wondering for so long. How this thing could go wrong. It seems to

me that we are both the same playing the same game. But as darkness falls

this true love falls apart into a riddle of her heart. She's so

vulnerable, like china in my hands. She's so vulnerable and I don't

understand. I could never hurt the one I love. She's all I've got. But

she's so vulnerable. Oh so vulnerable. Days like these no one should be

alone. No heart should hide away. Her touch is gently conquering my mind.

There's nothing words can say. She's coloured all the secrets of my soul.

I've whispered all my dreams. But just as nighttime falls this vision

falls apart. Into a riddle of her heart, yea. She's so vulnerable, like

china in my hands. She's so vulnerable and I don't understand. I could

never hurt someone I love. She's all I've got. But she's so vulnerable. Oh

so vulnerable. Don't hide your eyes...

She Doesn't Live Here Anymore

We grew up together, we've been here forever. Barefoot in the summer, cold

in stormy weather. She taught me all there is, like magic and love, lots

of forgotten words But now, she doesn't live here anymore. She's off and

she's gone, she doesn't live here anymore. I'm sorry that's all there is

to it, I'm sorry that's all. She dressed just like a painter, a female

street Picasso and I, I will remember the heaven in her laughter. And the

scent of her sweet perfume when we made love under an August moon But now,

she doesn't live here anymore. She's off and she's gone, she doesn't live

here anymore. She's gone since long, so long, she doesn't live here

anymore. She took off and left home, she doesn't live here anymore. I'm

sorry that's all there is to it, I'm sorry that's all. That's all.

I Don't Want To Get Hurt

In everything I see you appear with me, how come? How come? And everything

I do involves you too. We are like one. In my life there has been so many

changes and I don't want to be left out in the rain I don't want to get

hurt, I've done my time. All I want from you is to tell the truth. I don't

want to get hurt no more this time. I don't want to go blind and find it's

falling apart all the time In the middle of a dream you are there for me,

your face, your lips. But there's no way you can tell cos I hide it really

well, so well. In my life there has been loving and lying and I don't need

another reason to cry I don't want to get hurt... I don't want to go blind

and find I'm falling apart one more time.
