REAL AMOUR click for Real Audio

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 |

J'ai besoin de quelqu 'un Besoin de paillason Si on va faire la bringue, fais la noce, fais la nouba Voila le m'as-tu-vu Comme il est bien foutu Pas comme ci, fais comme ca On peut faire la foire, la bomboula I hear you talking I hear you shout about it I see the light flash in your eyes I mean that walking I can't get by without it Let it take us over tonight Let my arms hold you tight Let's go faster than light Say goodbye to the world Let's get out of control Entre tes bras J'ai le béguin pour toi La danse et la chanson Un amour de rencontre It took us over tonight
|
SOLO Now stop that talking I can't make out that inflection I say the whole thing's out of sight And let's stop stalling Take a step in my direction It'll take us over tonight Let my arms hold you tight Let's go faster than light Say goodbye to the world Let's get out of control Entre tes bras J'ai le béguin pour toi La danse et la chanson Un amour de rencontre It took us over tonight |

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 |

This is my shotgun seranade It's a song about pills and lemonade And the fire-line firing pin people In the hair-trigger shaky shade Now now poor crazy Lee And he lived so close that he couldn't see And they took him away to make him happy And he ran away free But he fell down the stairs And he tilted his head Now he's drunk in a warehouse With his fingers all red Let's go where the criminals go And we can do murders And no-one will know Let's go where the criminals go And we can do murders And no-one will know |
|
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 |
|
I saw a girl looking so pert Looking so nervous Going for a headline Going past bedtime Getting turned over But all those tears you cried All those tears lied Just playing was a game of suicide Thought it was only a moment of passion Then there was another day You make out till you can't Make out a thing they say Don't try to hide your pain inside Until love slips away I know it ain't easy I know you're out of luck
|
Come back baby, when you grow up I saw a man holding out a hand Smiling on purpose Watching for a tell tale sign For the time to take you To the circus All happened so fast And it was so unreal Now you couldn't tell me more than what you feel Turned into a new disaster Every night it's a different game They tell me they recall the face but not the name Come back baby, when you grow up |

SHE'S WASHING HER HAIR TONIGHT
|
I was sitting here all alone I called my girl on the telephone I said come on baby won't you come out tonight We could take a drive in the respray Hot back seat love on a Saturday Two straws and a coffee in the old cafe (but her momma said) She's washing her hair tonight She's washing her hair tonight She's washing her hair tonight Tonight Just a bottle on my lips tonight Only my jeans holding me tight Tonight Got no chance for a fast show Can't go slow dance rubbing in the disco Solo - how can I get by on my own?
|
In the street cold-sweating at a call box One more chance - gonna give it my best shot But her momma said she don't want anything I got Now I'm stuck half-standing by the handbag set Sucking on a low-tar cigarette Looking for anything I can get (Cos her momma said) She's washing her hair tonight She's washing her hair tonight She's washing her hair tonight Tonight Just a bottle on my lips tonight Only my jeans holding me tight Tonight Got no chance for a fast show Can't go slow dance rubbing in the disco Solo - how can I get by on my own?
