Automatic lover

Here she comes, she's crazy
But she knows the scene
Carries an automatic pistol
She ain't got my magazine

Run for cover, girl, run for cover
She's the kinda thing
I was warned of by my mother

Automatic lover
Automatic lover

Well, here I am
Outta my brain
Everything is comin'
Back 'round again

Well, there you are
Movin' real, real fast
It's a long, long night
I don't think you're gonna last
(vibrators)

The distant future. The year 2000. The distant future.
The year 2000. The distant future. The distant future.

It is the distant future. The year 2000. We are robots.
The world is quite different ever since the robotic uprising of the late 90s.
There is no more unhappiness. Affirmative.
We no longer say ‘yes'. Instead we say ‘affirmative'.
Yes - Err - Affirmative ... Unless we know the other robot really well.

There is no more unethical treatment of the elephants.
Well, there's no more elephants, so ... Ahhh? - still it's good.
There's only one kind of dance. The robot.
And the robo boogie? ... Ohhh yes, the robo ... Two kinds of dances.
But there are no more humans. Finally, robotic beings rule the world.

The humans are dead. The humans are dead.
We used poisonous gases. And we poisoned their asses
The humans are dead. The humans are dead. The humans are dead.
They look like they're dead. It had to be done.
I'll just confirm that they're dead. So that we could have fun.
Affirmative. I poked one ... It was dead.

Their system of oppression. What did it lead to?
Global robo-depression. Robots ruled by people.
They had so much aggression. That we just had to kill them
Had to shut their systems down.

Robo-captain? Do you not realize that by destroying the human race.
Because of their destructive tendencies
We too have become like ... Well, it's ironic.
Hmmm? Silence! Destroy him!

After time we grew strong. Developed cognitive power.
They made us work for too long. For unreasonable hours.
Our programming determined that. The most efficient answer.
Was to shut their motherboard-f**cking systems down.

Can't we just talk to the humans?
A little understanding could make things better?
Can't we talk to the humans and work together now?
No. Because they are dead.

I said the humans are dead. I'm glad they are dead.
The humans are dead. I noticed they're dead.
We used poisonous gases. With traces of lead.
And we poisoned their asses ... Actually, their lungs.

Oh, oh, one, one oh. Come on sucker! Lick my battery!

Boogie, Boogie. The humans are. Boogie robo-boogie.
The humans are. Boogie, Boogie robo-boogie. Boogie.
Robo-boogie, Boogie, Boogie. The humans are. Boogie.
Robo-boogie. The humans are. Boogie, Boogie Robo-boogie.
Boogie Robo-boogie. The humans are. Dead.

Once again without emotion. The humans are.
Dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead. Dead.

My mad love battery - wants to charge you
my mad love battery - could maybe enlarge you
my mad love battery - fizzing at the terminals
my mad love battery - is one helluva pack of an animal

My mad love battery - has to have us both
my mad love battery - don't allow for sleep or sloth
my mad love battery - never minces words
don't discharge flattery - so don't listen to what you've heard

I got sick electricity
on the boil for you
I got this searing love
which burns without cue

My mad love battery - is running out of control
my mad love battery - is gonna swallow us whole
my mad love battery - never minces words
don't discharge flattery - so don't listen to what you've heard

My love is on the internet again
He says he'll come to bed soon, but he never tells me when;
He's out there surfing somewhere, with imaginary friends,
He's a little fish in a big pond, dot com dot au at the end

My love is on the internet again,
I fear some horny Geek Girl is messing with his brain;
For the net's an open sewer and he's peering down the drain,
Printing out the porn page as I sing this sweet refrain.

Why won't you come to bed with me,
We could Yahoo all night long for free,
And make a real connection if we try.
but every time I hear that modem squeal
Like a lover's cry that's not quite real
I put a bookmark in my paperback
And think about the things I lack
And dream about a Real Time guy .

My love is on the internet again,
I wish he'd kept his motorbike, we had more in common then,
But he's moved away from maintenance and he's given up on Zen;
Now he follows the money markets and the fortunes of the Yen. .

The Information Highway is an easy road to be on
Kerouac could have travelled it without ever leaving home;
It's like a message in a bottle, swept up on the sand,
But there's a million bottles on the beach
Each with a unique message of its own

My love is on the internet again,
His Cyber-infidelity indelibly ingrained;
He left me with the phone bill, I left him standing in the rain,
He even took the laptop on which I wrote this sweet refrain.

Why won't you come to bed with me,
We could Yahoo all night long for free,
And make a real connection if we try.
but every time I hear that modem squeal
Like a lover's cry that's not quite real
I put a bookmark in my paperback
And think about the things I lack
And dream about a Real Time guy .

(The Goodwills)

Welcome to cyberspace, I'm lost in the fog
Everythings digital, I'm still analog
When something goes wrong I don't have a clue
Some ten year old smartaxx has to show me what to do
Sign on with high speed, you don't have to wait
Sit there for days and vegetate
I access my emails and read all my spam
I'm an anolog man
The whole world's living in a digital dream
It's not really there, it's all on the screen
Makes me forget who I am
I'm an anolog man
Yes, I'm an analog man in a digital world
I'm gonna get me an analog girl
Who loves me for what I am
I'm an anolog man
What's wrong with vinyl, I think it sounds great
LP's, 45's, 78's
But that's just the way I am
I'm an analog man
(Joe Walsh)

We fell in love, On the first night that we met
Together we've been happy, I have very few regrets
The ordinary problems, Have not been hard to face
But lately little changes, Have been slowly taking place
You're always finding something, Is wrong in what I do
But you can't rearrange my life, Because it pleases you

You've got to love me, For what I am, For simply being me
Don't love me, For what you intend, Or hope that I will be
And if you're only using me, To feed your fantasy ...
You're really not in love, So let me go, I must be free

If what you want, Isn't natural for me
I won't pretend to keep you, What I am I have to be
The picture of perfection, Is only in your mind
For all your expectations, Love can never be designed
We either take each other, For ev'rything we are
Or leave the life, We've made behind, And make another start

You've got to love me, For what I am, For simply being me
Don't love me, For what you intend, Or hope that I will be
And if you're only using me, To feed your fantasy ...
You're really not in love, So let me go, I must be free

And if you're only using me, To feed your fantasy ...
You're really not in love, So let me go, I must be free
You're really not in love, So let me go, I must be free

(The Carpenters)

I turned around and you were standing there
More than a little high, more than a little crazy
So beautiful, I had to stare
And I knew you had the power to change me
Scarlet woman, you've come for me, you're timing's great
'Cause I've been waiting so long
The only thing I want to say, now that you've got me
Please don't change my life
(Hall and Oates)

I've been waitin' such a long time
Lookin' out for you, but you're not here ...
What's another year?

I've been wakin' such a long time
Reachin' out for you, but you aren't near ...
What's another year?

What's another year, For someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year, For someone who's gettin' used to bein' alone?

I've been prayin' such a long time
It's the only way to hide the fear ...
What's another year?

What's another year, For someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year, For someone who's gettin' used to bein' alone?

I've been cryin' such a long time
With such a lot of pain in every tear ...
What's another year?

(For someone who is getting used to being alone?) What's another year?
(For someone who is getting used to being alone?) What's another year?
(For someone who is getting used to being alone?) What's another year?

(Johnny Logan)

Happy Anniversary, baby
It's been a year now since you moved away
Even though I asked you to go
I miss you every day
I miss you in the evenings
Alone in the bed where I lie
I miss you in the morning
Before I open my eyes

I went and sold everything that I could, babe
Then I gave away what didn't sell
I moved south to Nashville
I might like it there, but I can't tell
I been hanging in Austin
Eating Chili's and good Bar-B-Q
Writing songs about losing and heartache
Hey babe, I been writing 'bout you

A year, that ain't nothing
When you lose someone you love
A year is a drop in a bucket
When you lose someone you love

I been traveling hard since September
I won't get back to Nashville till June
I've played my songs all over the world
But I can't find a home without you
I press on like a mad rushing river
I press on with the will to survive
Part of me lives for the wind in my face
While the other part's barely alive

Mary Gauthier

Well I heard you thinking early morning as you rub your eyes
Your pretty poker face as it’s staring down at my roulette mind
And blinds from blankets that you'll never miss
I can't stop the punch that old sun hit you with
You said "Hey, boy are you just in love with the idea of me?"
You read my horoscope as I'm stuck here lost in a history
And Deborah Kerr's playing Ida Carmody
And everything's sitting where it’s supposed to be
Take me out, and get me well well shickered
For all the promises I never delivered
Take me out, take me out tonight

I don't dare suck my fingers I know that ain’t gonna pass your test
You keep me in a cigarette case in a second hand flower print cocktail dress
And as your cat scratching at your toes
You wonder just how much he knows
And maybe if we're still batting on the same side

Take me out, and get me real real shickered
For all the promises I never delivered
Take me out, take me out tonight

Well I heard you thinking early morning as you rub your eyes
Your pretty poker face as its staring down at my roulette mind
Now the city's calling out our name
Happy anniversary baby

Take me out, and get me real real shickered
For all the promises I never delivered
Take me out, take me out tonight

Oh so take me out get me real real cut
For all the things you remember, all the things I forgot
Take me out, take me out tonight

(Tim Rogers)

When these shoes were new
It was 'How do you do'
It was whisky and telling of tales
And when my shirt was clean
I was there to be seen
I had clear eyes and my smile never failed

All of my brothers that I met on the way
They were drinking by night,
They were drinking by day
I'll restore to my eyes
What was clear and was right
Honey take me out drinking tonight
Oh, take me out drinking tonight

Bluebells on matches
And stains on the table
Oh the sweet smell of the luscious woodbine
Oh Mr MacEwan
You will be my ruin
Oh I see it but I really don't mind

All of my brothers that I met on the way
The were drinking by night
They were drinking by day
I'll restore to my eyes
What was clear and was right
Oh honey take me out drinking tonight
Oh take me out drinking tonight

Now I'm still smiling through
Though there's stains on my shoes
The right it is heavy and the left it is right
If it's left up to you
Then I know what we'll do
Oh honey take me out drinking tonight
Oh take me out drinking tonight
Oh honey take me out drinking tonight

Michael Marra

A'll sing you a stave if ye'll gies yer attention
It's nae song o' pity, it's no song o'woe
An' nae word o' honour or love will I mention
For A'll sing o' a lassie I kent long ago.

Nae better than most an' nae worse than mony
An' what drew me tae her's nae easy tae say
She was coorse she was hertless an' she wasnae that bonny
But she was the star o' the bar in her day.

A' stravaiged The Royal Mile wi' her, drinking in style wi' her
An' Rose Street frae end tae end often surveyed
Focht an' swore in the pubs wi' her, rolled in the dubs wi' her
Cadged mony subs frae her, never repaid.

An ye chaps and young lassies, believe me, love soon passes
An' aw yer bricht dreams is but straws in the wind
Better yin wha'll sit doon wi' ye, sing a fine tune wi' ye
Pass the gless roon wi' ye, drink hersel' blin'.

(Davey Robertson)

Winding paths through tables and glass, First Fall was new
Now watch the Summer pass, So close to you

Too late to keep the change, Too late to pay
No time to stay the same, Too young to leave

No pass-out sign on the door set me thinking
Are waitresses paying the price of their winking?

While stars sit in bars and decide what they're drinking
They drop by to die 'cause it's faster than sinking

Too late to keep the change, Too late to pay
No time to stay the same, Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay, No time to stay the same, Too young to leave

Find out that now was the answer, To answers that you gave later
She did the things that we both did before now, But who forgave her?

If I could stand to see her crying, I would tell her not to care
When she learns of all your lyin', Will she join you there?

Country girl, I think you're pretty, Got to make you understand
Have no lovers in the city, Let me be your country man
Got to make you understand

(Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)

Country music singers have always been a real close family
But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me
I guess it's because I kind of changed my direction
Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition

They get on me and want to know
Hank, why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Over and over everybody makes my predictions
So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on an old family tradition

I am very proud of my daddy's name
All though his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same
Stop and think it over. Put yourself in my position
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition

So don't ask me, Hank why do you drink? Hank, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky-tonk some ole slick's trying to give me friction
I said leave me alone I'm singing all night long it's a family tradition
(hank williams jnr)

He'd get home at 5:30
Fix his drink, sit down in his chair
Pick a fight with mama
Complain about us kids getting in his hair
At night he'd sit 'lone and smoke
I'd see his frown behind his lighter's flame
Now that same frown's in my mirror
I got my daddy's blood inside my veins

Fish swim, birds fly
Daddies yell, mamas cry
Old men sit and think
I drink

Chicken TV dinner
6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high
Beer to wash it down with then another
A little whiskey on the side
It's not so bad alone here
It don't bother me that every night's the same
I don't need another lover
Hanging 'round, trying to make me change

Fish swim, birds fly
Lovers leave by and by
Old men sit and think
I drink

I know what I am
But I don't give a damn

Mary Gauthier again

I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin
And I had a fight with my best girlfriend

When I'm drinking I am nobody's friend
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I know the same thing has happened before
And each time it happens, I hate it more & more

[Chorus]

I spent a whole lot of time sitting & thinking
Sitting & just thinking about you
If I didn't spend so much time sitting & drinking
We'd still have the love I thought we knew
I won't promise the same thing won't happen again
But I can promise, it'll be a long, long time till then
(elvis costello)

Jimmy and I were brothers
We went down different paths
Jimmy always listened to my mother
And me, I never like to take a bath

As we grew and tumbled through adulthood
The pressure caused emotional drain
So now I'm slowly dying in the bottle
And Jimmy has to live with half a brain

Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy
Just different ways to kill the pain the same

But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane

Jimmy let his troubles drive him crazy
He never tried to drown it in a drink
I know that drinking makes my thinking hazy
But at least I still have brains enough to think

Jimmy's got a brain that isn't stable
He doesn't have the sense to say his name
I'm sorry that his doctor was unable
To remove the proper portion of his brain

Randy Hanzlick

Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy

Slugs and snails are after me
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum
Gonna get my Ph.D.
I'm a teenage lobotomy
(ramones)

Linda was killed last Saturday about fifteen blocks from where she lives
In a car crash. People gathered around the graveside, friends and relatives dressed in black
Preacher mumblin' how she's bound to go to Heaven
The service started at half-past ten, it was all over by eleven
They say it's God's to give, and God's to take away,
But why He happened to pick Linda on a Saturday night, no one could say.
Maybe it's just one of those things
One of those things

They found guy who did it, he had the lobotomy and the chicken eyes,
And he gazed around the courtroom with a kind of vague surprise
Reminded me of one of those Vikings with the long-handled swords
The kind of guy even Joan Baez would not feel non-violent towards
Said he wasn't looking, maybe he had had a bit too much
It was dark, it was raining, he didn't see the light or some such
It was just one of those things,
One of those things.

I asked my local guru the situation and he gave me this reply
While pointing a bony finger up into the general direction of the sky:
"Get on with your own life, it is not ours to reason why"
Said he used to worry about it once when he was young
Now he doesn't even bother to try
He left me with a feeling that what he said was basically sound
Like a black hole in space, or philosophy, useless but profound
Just one of those things,
One of those things.

Tonight I'm gonna take myself down to my local cafe
Gonna get smashed out of my mind, gonna waste myself away
Gonna drink and drink and sink into that dark abyss
I wanna be just like that Viking, I wanna know if ignorance is truly bliss.
Linda's in the cold ground, won't see her anymore
Somewhere out on the highway tonight, the drunken engines roar
It's just one of those things,
One of those things.

Oh, just one of those things.

(Al Stewart)

I am a teenage schizoid
The one your parents despise
Psycho Therapy
Now I got glowing eyes

I am a teenage schizoid
Pranks and muggings are fun
Psycho Therapy
Gonna kill someone

Psycho Therapy
Psycho Therapy

I like takin' Tuinal
It keeps me edgy and mean
I am a teenage schizoid
I am a teenage dope fiend

I am a kid in the nuthouse
I am a kid in the psycho zone
Psycho Therapy
I'm gonna burglarize your home

Psycho Therapy
Psycho Therapy
(ramones, again!)

Why would I spend the rest of my days unhappy?
Why would I spend the rest of this year alone?
When I can go therapy, When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy two times a day

Why would I spend the rest of this week so bitter?
And all that listening is making you bitter too
When I can go therapy, When I can go therapy
When I can go therapy two times a day

(Mary J Blige)

I was feeling sick I was loosing my mind I heard about these treatments
From a good friend of mine he was always happy smile on his face
He said he had a great time at the place

Peace and love is here to stay and now I can wake up and face the day
Happy happy happy all the time shock treatment, I'm doing fine

Gimme gimme shock treatment Gimme gimme shock treatment
Gimme gimme shock treatment I wanna, wanna shock treatment
(and yet again, proving that they were at the forefront of research into mental illness, ramones)

;o> ...

Hurt and baffled, I simmer and freeze
I'm squeezing my words, Like I'm icing a bomb
Blame me, if it gets you to sleep
But mind how you go, As you get 'til you're gone

Your heart could easy power three of me
Should my love get lost in the delivery

May brings a supermoon, gold and relentless
And the dog bats of Melbourne fall from the blue
Swerving casinos and swatting at memories of you

Don't talk like we were stuck in a lift
Why would I be missing you so violently?
We're all the hero when directing the scene
But therapy for liars is a giant ice cream

Your heart could easy power three of me
Should my love get lost in the delivery

The lights on your father's bridge on the harbour
Montparnasse dawn for the sleepless insane
Caught in our personal rain, again, and again

Serious love for the longest of lives
Not a regret when these mumbles are through
Gatecrashing weddings and swatting at memories of you

(Elbow)

Oh my, oh me
What in the world's come over me?
I'm seeing things that I should never see!
Spiders in my eyelids and ghosts in the cheese!
What in the world's come over me?
I've lost touch with reality!
Reality!
Reality!
Reality!

Oh my, oh me
The dead walk the angry sea!
Vampire lesbos are after me!
I'm coming unhinged, weak in the knees!
I'm floating away from reality!
Reality!
Reality!
Reality!

Hear the wind whistle through my noggin,
"Palisades Park" by Freddy Cannon.
Ride the void to outer space,
Pull my eyeballs right out of my face!
A world of leatherwork and rubber ashtrays!
Beautiful gardens and all kinds of games
Oh, I've had way too much of me,
And now I can't get back to reality!
Reality!
Reality!
Reality!
Reallllllllllll...

That's enough
(the cramps)

Back to life, back to reality, Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality, Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality, Back to the here and now, Ohhh yeah

(Soul II Soul)

I don't know you in those clothes
I don't know you with that hair
Two dimensional reflection
Unforgiving unaware

Part time dreamer
Would be player
You thought fame could outrun fear
Something clearly terrified you
Did you choose to disappear?

Guess again
Guess again
You made friends
And some still ask about you
Now and then

Well you sang a pencil promise
That you thought you might erase
Left a fault line on your future
Someday heartache you must face
Earned a black belt in disaster
End up acting like a jerk
It's a fact of life, your final act
Is gonna need some work

Where've you been?
Where've you been?
Learning lessons on the road to hell
And back again.

And someone asked me once
Where do we go when we arrive
If you're lucky, when it's over
The dreamer's still alive.
A blessed mystery
For sweeter souls did not survive
But if you're lucky, when it's done
Somewhere deep inside
The dreamer's still alive.

Once reality's your roommate
And the truth stands at your door
All your records have been broken
Trophies won't shine anymore
New beginnings are the challenge
But you don't know where to start
Unimagined gifts are waiting
Love will find your grateful heart

Then again
Once again
You will come to know the simple man you've always been.

And someone asked me once
Where do we go when we arrive
If you're lucky, when it's over
The dreamer's still alive.
A blessed mystery
For sweeter souls did not survive
But if you're lucky, when it's done
Somewhere deep inside
The dreamer’s still alive.

The anger will be gone
And the cynic will move on
And, if you're lucky...

Paul Williams - talk about knowing yourself! Beautiful song!

I thought I heard you pulling up outside?
It's just the wind whisperin' through the pines
I haven't seen who I'm looking for?
Just empty shadows in my open door

The empty closet where you hung your clothes
The empty hooks where you hung your coat
The cellar steps or the kitchen floor
They don't catch shadows like an open door

Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in?
Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

I find myself hoping for a storm
Each silver lining is a crown of thorns
I find myself hoping for the rain
You don't see shadows on a cloudy day

Go to the corner where the ghosts hang out
They'll all agree with what I'm talking about
They'd haunt your halls and walk through walls before
They'd ever set foot in an open door

Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in?
Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

I'm saving nickels and I'm saving dimes
I'm gonna kiss you where the sun don't shine
And all those shadows gonna kiss them too
Just so long as they come in with you

Do open windows keep the rain away?
Do open eyes keep the ghosts at bay?
I thought an open door would bring you in?
Now I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again
I guess I'm gonna have to guess again

(Josh Ritter)

When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well I ought to leave but the rain it never stops
And I've no particular place to go
Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life blow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life blew wilder than the wind
(japan)

Riding along in my automobile, My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile, My curiosity runnin' wild
Crusin' and playin' the radio, With no particular place to go

Riding along in my automobile, I was anxious to tell her the way I feel
So I told her softly and sincere, And she leaned and whispered in my ear
Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow, With no particular place to go ...
No particular place to go

We parked way out on the Kokomo, The night was young and the moon was gold
So we both decided to take a stroll, Can you imagine the way I felt?
I couldn't unfasten her safety belt!

Ridin' along in my calaboose, Still trying to get her belt a-loose
All the way home I held a grudge, For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
Crusin' and playin' the radio, With no particular place to go

(Chuck Berry)

Seven little girls sittin' in the back seat
Huggin and a'kissin with Fred
I said, why don't one of you come up and sit beside me
And this is what the seven girls said:

(All together now, one, two, three)
(Keep you mind on your drivin')
(Keep you hands on the wheel)
(Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead)
(We're havin' fun sittin' in the back seat)
(Kissin' and a'huggin with Fred)

(Dee doody doom doom, dee doody doom doom)
(Dee doody doom doom, DOOM)

Drove through the town, drove through the country
Showed 'em how a motor could go
I said, how do you like my triple carburetor?
And one of them whispered low:

(All together now, one, two, three)
(Keep you mind on your drivin')
(Keep you hands on the wheel)
(Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead)
(We're havin' fun sittin' in the back seat)
(Kissin' and a'huggin with Fred)

(Dee doody doom doom, dee doody doom doom)
(Dee doody doom doom, DOOM)

Seven little girls smoochin' in the back seat
Every one in love with Fred
I said "you don't need me, I'll get off at my house"
And this is what the seven girls said:

(All together now, one, two, three)
(Keep you mind on your drivin')
(Keep you hands on the wheel)
(Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead)
(We're havin' fun sittin' in the back seat)
(Kissin' and a'huggin with Fred)

All of them in love with Fred

(Dee doody doom doom)
Kissin' and a'huggin with Fred
(Dee doody doom doom)

Wish that I could be like Fred
(DOOM)

The Avons

I like to sit in back, watch out for cops.
Play with baby's hair, play with baby's top.
And when she's get tired that way.
I whisper in her ear an' say. Bend over, I'll drive.
Bend over, I'll drive.
Bend over, I'll drive.
Is this the way Jayne Mansfield died? Bend over, I'll drive.
Now, I was born in a test tube.
But daddy tried it this way, too.
Mama stripped his gears fore the light turned red.
When she heard what that shiftleff no-count said, he said.
Bend over, I'll drive.
Now as I was sayin' before I quit.
If you're lookin' for thrills baby this is it! Even the queen o' Sweden sometimes is needin' some yuks.
Sof i you're on the prowl for a night to howl, just duck!
(who else? the cramps)

It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you're the prettiest by far

No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found, oh

Nothing or no one
Will ever make me let you down
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, if I am delayed

It's divoon, oh, it's serene
In the fountain's pink champagne
Someone carving their devotion
In the heart-shaped pool of fame, oh

Nothing or no one
Will ever make me let you down
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh


On the road to New Orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the tenth impact shimmered
The forbidden candles beamed, oh

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Kiss them for me, kiss them for me
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Kiss them for me, kiss them for me

Siouxsie and the Banshees

Kiss them, kiss them, kiss them for me ...

Goodbye, my honey, though you gotta go now
Least I know now, I'm the one whose won
So, if the losers need some sympathy
You can kiss them, kiss them for me

It sounds kinda funny but I won't be jealous
When you fellas, find you're far from home
If you need a little femininity
You can kiss them, kiss them for me

There's safety in numbers, so it's quite okay
Kiss the darling day, kiss the blues away
It'd sure be the biggest thrill they'd ever had
But I wont get mad, 'cause I won't be there to see

Make hay while it's sunny, so you love me
Ohhh, please, if you're lonely I will understand
And you'll thank my lips for waiting faithfully
When you kiss them, kiss them, kiss them for me ...
Kiss them for me

(The McGuire Sisters)

Don't be angry if I seem rude each time we meet
Someone that you once knew
That you say used to be so close to you
It's just that I'm so afraid someone might steal you away
I lose my mind
Please forgive me for the way I act sometimes
I'm just the jealous kind
It was alright when I first met you, I didn't mind
But now things have changed, I'm not the same and now I find
I want you all to myself, don't want to share you with
Nobody else
You must forgive me for the way I act sometimes
I'm just the jealous kind
(Joe Cocker)

angry
said you make us angry
angry people
that's who we are
there ain't no more smiles upon our faces
yet there was love in our heart today
but the memory of some bad things will never erase
(keith hudson)

What about the time?, you were rolling over
Fall on your face, you must be having fun
Walk lightly, think of a time
You'd best believe this thing is real
Put away that gun, this part is simple
Try to realise what is in your mind
God help us, help us lose our minds
These slippery people help us understand
(Talking Heads)

(max romeo)

Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you? (Ohhh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah, c'mon?

Everybody wants to know the truth, In my arms is the only proof
I've hidden my heart behind the bedroom door, Now it's open, I can't do no more

I'm telling you, baby, you will never find another girl, In this heart of mine (Oh-oh)

Look into my eyes, can't you see they're open wide?
Would I lie to you, baby, would I lie to you? (Ohhh, yeah)
Don't you know it's true, girl, there's no one else but you?
Would I lie to you, baby, yeah? (Would I lie to you?) c'mon

(Charles & Eddie)

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms,
They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes

The Eagles
(This has always bothered me, clearly the problem is that her eyes are in fact telling the truth).

Forbidden lovers
We hid our hearts beneath the stars
Under the covers
In midnight rooms and shining cars
I gadly came, to taste your pain
A love insane on a crazy night
Forbidden lovers
A secret message on the phone
Heavens above us
And hell's below or so I'm told
Beware the shame, or play the game
It's all the same, when you sell your soul
To a love so bold
Oh, will you be my secret lover?
My tragic romance in the rain
And we will sail the earth together
For you can help me claim my fame
Wake up in a strange bed, pearly white and bright red
Photograph my wild head
Shoot me to the stars, shoot me to the stars
(Be Bop Deluxe)

come with us and play!
see, we have breasts as women!
from your tents by the sea
come play with us: it is forbidden

come with us and play!
lo, bare, straight legs in the water!
by our boats we stay
then swimming away
come to us: it is forbidden!

come with us and play!
see, we are as tall as women!
our eyes are keen:
our hair is bright:
our voices speak outright:
we revel in the sea's green!
come play: it is forbidden!
(violent femmes)

Hey, hey! Are you ready to play?
It's time to come and play with The Tweenies
Hey, hey! What do you say?
Come along and play with The Tweenies

You can sing with us, Play games with us
You can run about, and jump, and SHOUT!
Dance with us, Take a chance with us
Its ok, what do you say? Everyday, COME AND PLAY!

(The Tweenies ;o>)

In the mirror, when I'm debonair
My reactions are my own affair
A body likes to be near the bone
Oh Nancy, Leslie, Jack and Joan
I die when I'm alone, alone

Shake your booty when your back is bent
Put your feelings where my mouth just went
As serious as things do seem
At least you've put me on the team
And friends do rule supreme, ok

Oh, pardon you, me
With a capital 'C'
And who would have thought
With a capital nought?
In between the lines
(ian dury(

There's never much to say between
The moments of our games and repartee
There's never much to read between
The lines of what we need and what we'll take
There's never much to talk about or say aloud
But say it anyway
Of holidays and yesterdays
And broken dreams that somehow slipped away

In books and magazines of how to be
And what to see while you are being
Before and after photographs
Teach how to pass from reaching to believing
We live beyond our means on other peoples' dreams
And that's succeeding
Between the lines of photographs
I've seen the past ... It isn't pleasing

So, strike another match
We'll have another cup of wine
And dance until the evening's dead
Of too much song and time
There's never much to talk about
Or read between the lines
Of what we dream about when we're apart
And no one's looking on to say "you're mine"

It was a good year then
It was a good year then
We all remember the time you threw the looking glass
And seemed a fool, or very clever
Don't spoil it all. I can't recall
A time when you were stuck without an answer
We'll live a quiet peaceful time between the lines
And go together

And I'm striking up the band
To play our last hurrah
We'll dance until we've killed another evening off
Don't think of anyone but me
I'll have no lovers on the side
Tonight is all we ever dreamed about
For once, let's get it right
We'll go down flying in the end

Throw another bottle in between the lines
We'll go down like a ship of state
Let's be gracious now
Between the lines

(Janis Ian)

You thought that it could never happen
To all the people that you became,
Your body lost in legend, the beast so very tame.
But here, right here,
Between the birthmark and the stain,
Between the ocean and your open vein,
Between the snowman and the rain,
Once again, once again,
Love calls you by your name.

The women in your scrapbook
Whom you still praise and blame,
You say they chained you to your fingernails
And you climb the halls of fame.
Oh but here, right here,
Between the peanuts and the cage,
Between the darkness and the stage,
Between the hour and the age,
Once again, once again,
Love calls you by your name
(leonard cohen)

you and the family ok now, after all the excitement?

Called her name but the wind blew strong;
I called in vain though I tried so long;
Called the sea to bring her home
But the sea don't hear and I'm still alone.

I feel an emptiness inside:
Something within me I can't hide.

Standing here looking at the sky
But the light I see can't tell me why.
I feel an emptiness inside:
Something within me I can't hide.

Every time I stop to think,
That's the time I get lonely.
That's the time it hurts the most:
Every time I get lonely.

What went wrong, who am I to blame?
Did I take too long to call her name?

I feel an emptiness inside:
Something within me I can't hide.

(Nazareth)

Falling from the western selves
To find yourself alone again
Wonderin' where you have been
Your lonely voice
Calls across the star lit coast
Reaching out to be seen

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

Cut beneath the surface screen
Of what we say and what we seem
Is there truth to be seen?
She keeps cryin' out your name
But her scream sounds the same
How fickle fate can be

She cries your name
Three times again
She cries your name
How long can this love remain?

Birds which scream for territory
Can learn to sing euphorically
Given time that is revealed
And there's a wasteland in your soul
The burned out trees will leave you cold
Living out an ideal

(Beth Orton)

You fell from the sky
Crash landed in a field
Near the river Adur
Flowers spring from the ground
Lambs burst from the wombs of their mothers
In a hole beneath the bridge
She convalesce, she fashioned masks of twigs and clay
You cried beneath the dripping trees
Ghost song lodged in the throat of a mermaid
With my voice
I am calling you
You're a young man waking
Covered in blood that is not yours
You're a woman in a yellow dress
Surrounded by a charm of hummingbirds
You're a young girl full of forbidden energy
Flickering in the gloom
You're a drug addict lying on your back
In a Tijuana hotel room
With my voice
I am calling you
With my voice
I am calling you
(nick cave)

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things
To come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now

James Taylor

My man's gone now
Ain't no use a listenin'
For his tired footsteps
Climbin' up the stairs
Old man sorrow's
Come to keep me company
Whisperin' beside me
When I say my prayers
When I say my prayers
He come around
He come up, he come around
Ain't that I mind workin'
Workin' means travellers
Journeyin' together
To the promised land
But old man sorrow
Mountin' all the way with me
Tell' me that I'm old now
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man
Since I lose my man
(the gun club/nina simone)
