1. It's the last time I'm ever gonna take you Out with your shoes on in Malibu And it's just a crime to hear a surf song Inside a car with a roof on We drove the wrong way all around the blonde waves And stopped at Jack's down by the sea He said "Excuse me, I can't sell you Stüssy*, your suit's not wet enough for me"
Carrie came round, sat a long time at the bar Said she could get off with the way I talk And she said Candy'd be my friend But candy on Laguna Beach costs a lot less Ali saw a blonde babe Fell off his roller blades Said "she was looking at me!" We laughed the whole way down Ventura Highway And stopped at Carrie's for tea
Hey, hey Malibu We're going down with you Hey, hey Beverley Come out and dance with me
[solo]
Carrie rang the Air Bel Candy found the stairwell free And I just lost my way I watched the MTV but all the chicks for free Must have been home that day
|
Hey, hey Malibu I missed the Caines' house too Hey, hey Beverley What does bodacious mean?
So I say goodbye, Malibu We had a good time, Malibu I had to try hard, Malibu To stay three shades lighter than you We walked the line in Malibu All the words rhyme in Malibu Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Beverley Don't need to mean a thing to me

Back on Sunset Candy said meet Juliet Carrie told me Holly would be waiting Ali said "Man, it's like Electric Ladyland And by the way this call's for you"
She talked the talk Said she was a wild girl And she could get around Inside a red red red car She walked the walk, man Turned up to maximum That car could take you all the way
I felt Candy bend Ali told me Sodom and Gomorah Could be just the same at weekends It's like a shark attack He said you can't look back You'd turn into a pillar of cocaine
Holly worked at Ray's Candy gets a cameo She could be on TV Late late late at night Juliet could play I said I'd be Romeo I'd cross the line with you tonight
Ch: Like castaways stuck on a wave The ride's amazing Let the sun go down on you Everyday's a Saturday And we went crazy When we went back to Malibu

Solo Carrie Caroo Did we play a mind game? I'm stuck inside of you Get 999 You're stuck inside of me I need a razor blade I need to cut myself away
Like castaways stuck on a wave The ride's amazing Let the sun go down on you Everyday's a Saturday And we went crazy When we went back to Malibu
Down on the bay I catch a ray I'm in a Passion-play Can't stop and I'm not trying to Everyday's a day When everyone goes crazy When we go back to Malibu
Like castaways stuck on a wave The ride's amazing Let the sun go down on you Everyday's a Saturday And we went crazy When we went back to Malibu |

1. I never let you know Never let my picture fall apart Never let it go And you sit alone Calling for a love song of your own I got a girl who says I left love on the rack I just make her face turn red And she don't need a lover like that And she said hey Hear what I say Sing me a love song You don't sing me love songs everyday Hear what I say I'm telling you straight
2. Don't lose control Don't let the broken hearted people make you low They never let you go And they can't remember love songs anymore You don't need to break into my head Trying to find a space of your own I know I leave a lot unsaid But I don't have a heart of stone And I said hey What can I say? I try to sing you love songs This might be a love song I can play
Break:

3. We could lose control I say don't talk all the talk Just sing along Put that gun away This could be our love song for today I met a girl who said We made it with a little contact Now she's on the phone instead And I don't need a lover like that
So I say hey What can I say? This song is my love song What do you say? And she said hey Let me hear you play You call this a love song anyway? And I said hey [Don't get me wrong] What can I say? [Just sing my song] It's my only love song for today She said hey [This can't go on] Well that's OK [I'll sing this song] This could be a love song Let it play
Hear what I say Hear what I say.................... |

1. Tonight we all slip out of stream Danny looks right, Patty looks right They copied from a magazine The stuff was tailor-made But it never fitted anyway And when it all came away We laughed like a drain And it was real amour Lights out on the second floor And we were really gone We jumped right overboard Yes we were really gone For just one moment of our own 2. Looking at the handbags, take a little drag Staying out of the light that's green Danny said "Isn't that the girl?" "Yes", I said - I don't need a go-between She knows we know And all her friends know it too We don't need a tarot To say it's just me and it's you |
3. We got a ride in Ken and Betty's car And Kenny shook his furry dice And Patty took us down the Rock Lobster bar And Betty had hers with rice Everybody split the tab And Danny left his magazine Patty took a radio cab And I watched it on TV Just like real amour Lights out on the second floor And they were really gone They jumped right overboard Yes they were really gone For just one moment of our own |
SALLY IS DAMN GOOD NOW click for Real Audio

Sally took my last words into the night Thought I saw emotion stopped in the half-light Stopped in the half-light, Sally's there shining bright I should've known you never hold hands with a jewel She'll take you for a fool As she marches another boy, fast toy All around the pool that I'm crying into Thought we were strangers in love Perfect strangers Trying to arrange for a love To invade us All around the world People say the word Falling for the girl And coming out and saying it first I could feel the moment slip out of my hands People tell me Sally's started living in London now I can feel my fingers touch the dial Trying to touch that smile And bring it back somehow |
People say she cut a dash standing in the hall Walking to the door on the arm of an American boy with a new toy And a big American car She was a stranger to love Perfect stranger Just re-arranging for love To evade her All around the world People say their love is true But I just found a girl Who couldn't say it too Just another nearly-made-it filed away SOLO All around the world People say the word Falling for the girl And coming out and saying it first All around the world People tell me Sally's damn good now And in another world I made it come true |

Out on the street tonight Wish I had another love song To sing tonight After all it took me so long For the time of my life It was too easy walking Just holding hands Easy just talking avoiding your eyes There must be another song Another song I could sing Bring words and music to me And I'll show you love Let you know, let it show Show you what love can bring The thin line of smoke from my cigarette Writes all the words we should've shared Before they break up and drift away Reaching out further than I could Calling to you like I never would There must be another song Yes there's another song I can sing Bring words and music to me And I'll show you love Let you know, let it show Show you what love can bring |
SOLO For the million years I live tonight I will dream another Dream of light I see the arms reach from our sides Lips touching lips and eyes touching eyes And I sing a different song I sing the song that lovers sing My words and music fill me And show me the love That I show you that I can bring I'll show you what love can bring [With a different song] I'll show you what love can bring [Had it inside all along] I'll show you what love can bring |
|
Walking the street I only repeated the words I should've said while I could be heard It was too easy just holding hands while your eyes Told me it could never survive There must be another song Another song I could sing Bring words and music to me And I'll show you love I'll show you what love can bring The thin line of smoke from my cigarette Writes all the words we should've shared Reaching out further than I ever could Calling to you like I never would There must be another song Yes there's another song I can sing Bring words and music to me And I'll show you love I'll show you what love can bring SOLO |

In the half-light telling me vaguely she's heaven sent Looking like nothing but just a little more than the minimum content Asking me to take a little step to the left of my better judgment (They) all got turned over like So many playing cards Can't hold, they just fold They just fall apart Somebody told me I Could lose my way tonight I cried it's one-sided Shooting at 'em from both sides Where is Fay? She feels like light years away And it was only a day Before I stepped on the plane
|
On the rack just listening to the soundtrack, uninspired This could be love or I could be just hot-wired Like a loco, thinking in slow-mo, wheels on fire Can't even use my ticket, it just expired I let the time go by Bye mister, goodnight I left my ticket and my clean shirt on the outside I just got taken there I lost my reservation I came without a gun And I was shot by both sides Where is Fay? She feels like light years away And it was only a day Before I stepped on the plane |

1. I look outside - wish I could look inside Wish I could be the one Jump out of line, step out of time If I could make it I might try The radio tracks me down And it's almost yesterday Conspiring to break my heart And I just can't get away I thought I heard the tower of pictures and words But they can't say nothing at all I'm alive in the city branded with eyes To watch me a thousand times over You got it made if you can capture the woman in shades And tell her it's not like that at all She wouldn't smile between the sand and the ice If she ever stepped out into this side of paradise 2. Standing under I look up and wonder if I could be the one Rain in my eyes, wish I was holding her hand in the sun The stones, the plastic skin and bones They speak to me every day "If I can't take your heart I'll just take your life away" Why don't you come dancing out of the walls And boxes and paper parades Can you wait 'till the streetlight touches the nerve And breaks up the folded arms |
I wanna start, I wanna tear that woman apart Lay her naked across the street See what she's got to say She wouldn't smile between the sand and the ice If she ever stepped out into this side of paradise Didn't want to tell the difference Didn't want to know Didn't want to let my picture show We could've been home by now We could've been We could've been home SOLO Why don't you come dancing out of the walls And boxes and paper parades Can you wait 'till the streetlight touches the nerve And breaks up the folded arms I wanna start, I wanna tear that woman apart Lay her naked across the street See what she's got to say She wouldn't smile between the sand and the ice If she ever stepped out into this side of paradise |

I'm in double vision wishing I could tell you that it's you But the words won't - but the words won't Still I can't understand What I meant when I said it was a run-through I just want to see white lines Lips touching lips and tired eyes We're taking the long way round Still not in town BREAK Oh - Take me out of this loneliness Take me out of this lo - GUITAR BREAK [2] Be my Venus, my Venus in mufti Be my Venus, my Venus in mufti Be my Venus, my Venus in mufti, mufti Yeah - ooh, ooh, ooh |

She said "You know it might be him" - well, maybe I'm looking at you look at me strangely Looking for a look or a sign Oh - he always talked at me so coldly Now he's trying to be the one and only Doing it all like there might not be a next time Someone said it's just a game, boy No, it really can't be you Playing with a little time before you lose Well I'm staying just a little insane, boy I know it's too good to be true Look me in the eye - say you don't want it too Only the lights still shine bright in the night It's just the same in the room with my name |
I can find myself a mystery lady But she can never call me baby Cos I can only sing her the lines I get it one way or another It's like I'm working undercover Going through the stop sign - working every line - playing double time Yes it's just a game, girl - it's crazy but it's true Tonight you found me here and I found you We can get a little insane girl We can start it on a count of two You don't need me any more - than I need you |
