SOMETHING GOOD


Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new guy in the neighbourhood, whoa
yeah,
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good.

He's the kind of guy who's not too shy
And I can tell he's my kind of guy.
He danced close to me like I hoped he would, whoa yeah,
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good.

We only danced for a minute or two,
He stuck to me the whole night through.
Last night we fell in love,
He's everything I'm dreamin' of.

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good.

We only danced for a minute or two,
He stuck to me the whole night through.
Last night we fell in love,
He's everything I'm dreamin' of...

He walked me home and I held his hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see him again and he said I could.
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good.

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good,
Something good, whoa yeah, something good
Something good, whoa yeah, something good

IN THE FACTORY


It's hard to believe,
In the factory,
How they made you
And they made me

Made of ideas,
Made to think and feel
Do you feel too much,
Do you feel too real

You're so full of life,
What do you want with mine
How I loved you once,
How I loved you twice

Did I have to pay
Such a heavy price
How I loved you more
Than my own life

Just to be, you and me
Almost real, almost free

It's hard to believe
In the factory
How satin feels
And the diamonds gleam

How they made our eyes
Made our hearts and minds
How they built us too
Leave it all behind

Just to be, you and me
Almost real, almost free

Just to be, you and me
Almost real, almost free

THAT'S HOW EVERY EMPIRE FALLS


Caught a train from Alexandria
Just a broken man in flight
Running scared with his devils
Saying prayers all through the night
Oh but mercy can't find him
Not in the shadows where he calls
Forsaking all his better angels
That's how every empire falls

The bells ring out on Sunday mornng
Like echoes from another time
All our innocence and yearning
and sense of wonder left behind
Oh gentle hearts remember
What was that story? Is it lost?
For when religion loses vision
That's how every empire falls.

He toasts his wife and all his family
The providence he brought to bear
They raise their glasses in his honor
Although this union they don't share
A man who lives among them
Was still a stranger to them all
For when the heart is never open
That's how every empire falls

Padlock the door and board the windows
Put the people in the street
"It's just my job," he says "I'm sorry."
And draws a check, goes home to eat
But at night he tells his woman
"I know I hide behind the laws."
She says, "You're only taking orders."
That's how every empire falls.

A bitter wind blows through the country
A hard rain falls on the sea
If terror comes without a warning
There must be something we don't see
What fire begets this fire?
Like torches thrown into the straw
If no one asks, then no one answers
That's how every empire falls.

GUILT


I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt.
I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt.

I feel bad, so bad,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad.
I feel bad, so bad,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel bad.

I never lied to my lover,
But if I did I would admit it.
If I could get away with murder
I'd take my gun and I'd commit it.
I never gave to the rich, I never stole from the poor,
I'm like a curious child, give me more,
More, more, more, more, more, more.

I feel blood, I feel blood,
Though I feel it in my veins, it's not enough.

I feel blood, I feel blood,
Though it's streaming through my veins it's not enough.

I never stole a scarf from harrods,
But if I did you wouldn't miss it.
I never stole a doll from lovecraft,
But if I did you know I'd kiss it.
I never stole from the rich, I never gave to the poor,
I'm like a curious child, just give me more,
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more.

I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I know I've done no wrong I feel guilt.
I feel guilt, I feel guilt,
Though I ain't done nothing wrong I feel guilt.

Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt
Guilt, guilt, guilt, guilt...

SOMEBODY LOVES YOU


It's been a long time since you went away,
I stop to think of you most every day
With all my heart I'm hoping you're ok.
Guess who loves you?
Somebody loves you.

I couldn't reach you by the us mail,
You didn't leave a very easy trail
I tried to telephone to no one bail
Guess who loves you?
Somebody loves you?? I do.

Na na na na na na na na na na
Oh, oh.
Na na na na na na na na na na
Oh.
Na na na na na na na na na na
Someone loves you,
Somebody loves you.

Mind over matter is the game I play
I'll never each you any other way.
So I send this one thought to you every day:

"guess who loves you?
Somebody loves you?? I do."

Na na na na na na na na na na
Oh, oh.
Na na na na na na na na na na
Oh.
Na na na na na na na na na na
Someone loves you
Somebody loves you?? I do.

I couldn't reach you by the us mail,
You didn't leave a very easy trail
I tried to telephone to no one bail
Guess who loves you?

Na na na na na na na na na na
Oh, oh.
Na na na na na na na na na na
Oh, oh.
Na na na na na na na na na na
Someone loves you,
Somebody loves you.

LOVE LIFE AND MONEY


Love you made me pay an awful price,
I tried to gamble with you, but you were using crooked
dice.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some
pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall
on me.

Money you made me some very good friends.
Just like you make them, you're gonna break them in the
end.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some
pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall
on me.

I've had my share of love, life and money.
I lost it all three ways and I'm here to tell ya it
sure ain't funny.
Me and my money parted, so did my love and I,
Life don't mean a thing, and I wish that I could die.

In life you make a whole lotta fools,
'Cause you're always teaching something that they never
teach in schools.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some
pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall
on me.

Love, you made me pay an awful price,
I tried to gamble with you, but you were using crooked
dice.
Somebody's gotta suffer, somebody's gotta feel some
pain.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall
on me.
If it's gonna rain down misery, why it's all gotta fall
on me.

IT TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH IT TAKES A TRAIN TO CRY


Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby,
Can't buy a thrill.
Well, I've been up all night,
Leanin' on the window sill.
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it,
You know my baby will.

Don't the moon look good, mama,
Shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama,
Flagging down the "double e"?
Don't the sun look good

Going down over the sea?
But don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?

Well, the wintertime is coming,
The windows are filled with frost.
I went to tell everybody,
But I could not get across.
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby,
I don't wanna be your boss.
Don't say I never wanted you
When your train gets lost.

DREAMIN' MY DREAMS


I hope that I won't be that lone anymore
Maybe I've learned this time.
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for,
The way that is easin' my mind.

Some day I'll get over you,
I'll live to see it all through,
But I'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.

But I won't let it change me, not if I can,
I'd rather believe in love.
I'll give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of.

Some day I'll get over you,
I'll live to see it all through,
But I'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.

La, la la, la la la, la la,
La la, la la, la la.
La la la la, la la la la la,
La la, la la, la la.

Some day I'll get over you,
I'll live to see it all through,
But I'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.

But I'll always miss
Dreamin' my dreams
With you.

SWEET LITTLE SIXTEEN


They're really rockin' in boston, pittsburgh, pa,
Deep in the heart of texas and 'round the frisco bay.
All over st. louis, 'way down in new orleans,
All the cats gonna dance with sweet little sixteen.

Sweet little sixteen, she's just got to have
About a half a million signed autographs.
Her wallet's filled with pictures, she gets 'em one by
one,
She gets so excited, watch her, look at her run.

Oh mommy, mommy, please may I go?
It's such a sight to see somebody steal the show.
Oh daddy, daddy, I beg of you,
It's all right with mommy, it's all right with you.

'cause they'll be rockin' on bandstand, in pittsburgh, pa
Deep in the heart of texas, 'way down in frisco bay.
All over st. louis, 'way down in new orleans,
All the cats gonna dance with sweet little sixteen.
