WILDER SHORES OF LOVE


Think about it when you're out on the street
Think about it when you've nothing to eat
How could you fall so low from so high above?

Think about it when you're on your own
Think about it when you're leaving home
You didn't see it coming, the velvet glove

Too far out on the wilder shores of love
Too far out like you knew before
On the wilder shores of love

Think about it from the other side
Realize you've got nothing to hide
There's no one left alive to give you away

Night moves in mystery
What else do you want to be?
Did no one ever show you the way?

Just found out on the wilder shores of love
Just found out what you did before
On the wilder shores of love

Too far out on the wilder shores of love
Too far out what you knew before
On the wilder shores of love

I can feel your dangerous love around me
Do I want to go in there again
When all I wanted was for you to drown me
And love was there to make me go insane?

I remember all the lies you told me
Shut my eyes and always you appear
I can't forget the way you used to haunt me
I can't forget the love that wasn't there

Too far out on the wilder shores of love
Too far out like you knew before
On the wilder shores of love

So far out on the wilder shores of love
So far out like you knew before
On the wilder shores of love

CRAZY LOVE


Hated by all and everywhere he goes
Blazing contempt for human life and lies
Murder as art and what he knows he knows
From life and fear in other people's eyes

Crazy love is all around me
Love is crazy love is kind
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind

She walks the boulevard without a care
Knowing too much but having come so far
Pretending life is just a game you play for nothing
Loving no-one and no-where

Crazy love is all around me
Love goes crazy given time
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind

She looks as if expecting a surprise
Maybe an encounter that will change her life
Not knowing hot from cold or good for bad
If life is just a joke or if it makes her sad

Crazy love is all around me
Love is crazy love is kind
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind

Crazy love is all around me
Love goes crazy given time
But I know somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy love is blind

MARATHON KISS


I cherished the night of your marathon kiss,
Chemicals flying, oh I love this.
What's it all for if you can't feel the ecstasy?
What's it all for if you can't touch the power,
The will to live in the hour?

Don't steal what I have got, baby,
'cause it's hardly enough for myself.
Don't steal what I've got, baby,
'cause the balance is thin like a shell.

I cherished the night of your marathon kiss,
Chemicals flying, oh I love this.
What's it all for if you can't feel the moment?
What's it all for if you can't feel the moment,
The moment of kiss.

Fearless when I'm with you,
Fearless when I'm with you.
Fearless when I'm with you,
Fearless through and through.

What am I gonna wear? I don't care.

Nobody sees the inside.
Oh, the radio's gonna take us out
Take us out on a ride.
I put on perfume and I walk in the room
The world stands still with you in the room.
I cross the floor and I'm high and I'm rich
When I'm under your lips and your fingertips.

I cherished the night of your marathon kiss,
Chemicals flying into the mist.
What's it all for if you can't feel the moment?
What's it all for if you can't feel the power?
What's it all for if you can't, can't live right here
In the hour, in the hour, in the hour?

Fearless when I'm with you,
Fearless when I'm with you.
Fearless when I'm with you,
Fearless through and through.

THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE


The first time ever I saw your face
I saw the sun rise in your eyes
That the moon and stars were a gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt the earth move close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love,
That was there at my command.

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine,
I thought our joy would never end
And would last till the end of time, my love,
And would last till the end of time.

I HAVE A LOVE


I have a love and it's all that I have
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
I love him, I'm his,
And every thing he is
I am, too.

I have a love and he's all that I need,
Right or wrong, and he needs me, too.
I love him, we're one.
There's nothing to be done.
Not a thing I can do

But hold him,
Hold him forever.
Be with him now
Tomorrow and all of my life.

When love comes so strong
There is no right or wrong.
Your love is your own.

TIMES SQUARE


In a tired part of the city
Hiding from the fast talk
Watch 'don't walk' to 'walk'
Easy when you're dreaming
Staring at the movies
Standing in a circle,
Laughing at the wrong time.

If alcohol could take me there.
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour.

Take a walk around times square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the tv.

In a car taking a back seat
Staring out the window
Thinking about danger.
Playing in a wrong world
Fighting? but I'm not free.
Talking on the telephone

Talking about you and me.

If jesus christ could take me here
I'd fall dawn on my knees,
Have no questions to his answers.

Take a walk around times square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the tv.

Alcohol could take me there.
I'd take a shot a minute
And be there by the hour.

Take a walk around times square
With a pistol in my suitcase
And my eyes on the tv.

And if I die gaining my senses
Wake up in a hotel
Staring at the ceiling.

PIRATE JENNY


You lads see me wash the glasses, wipe the floors,
Make the beds, I'm the best of servants.
You can kindly throw me pennies and I'll thank you very
much.
When you see me ragged and tattered in this dirty shit
hotel,
You don't know in hell who's talking,
You still don't know in hell who's talking.
Yet one fine day there will be roars from the harbour
And you'll ask, "what is all that screeching for?"
And you'll see me smiling as I dunk the glasses
And you'll say, "what's she got to smile at for?"
And the ship, eight sails shining,
Fifty-five cannons wide, sir,
Waits there at the quay.

You say, "work on, wipe the glasses, my girl."
And just slip me a dirty six-pence.
And your pennies will be taken, and your beds will be
made,
(but I doubt if forty winks will come anybody's way)
And you still don't know in hell who's talking,
You still don't know in hell who's talking.
Still one fine day there'll be a loud bang from the
harbour,
And you'll ask, "jesus christ, what was that bang?"
And you'll see me standing right behind the window,
And you'll say, "why has she got the evil eye?"
And the ship, eight sails shining,
Fifty-five cannons wide, sir,
Will be aimed at this town.

So then lads, it's time for tears, no more laughs at
the bar,

For the walls will be at your ankles.
And look out, lads, the town will be flat as the
ground,
This dirty shit hotel will be spared wrack and ruin
And you'll say, "who is the fancy bitch lives there?"
You'll say, "who is the fancy bitch lives there?"
There'll be rows of people running round the hotel
And you'll ask, "why should they have spared this
hovel?"
And you'll see me in the morning leaving lightly
And you'll say, "that one, her , she lived there?"
The same ship, eight sails shining,
Fifty-five cannons wide, sir,
Flies crossbones and skull.

In the midday sun a hundred men will step ashore
All tramping where shadows crawled.
They'll lay their hands on men, hiding shit-scared
behind doors
Lead them in chains here before this silent woman,
And they'll say, "well, which ones shall we kill?"
They'll say, "which ones shall we kill?"
Come the dot of twelve, it will be still in the
harbour,
When they ask me, "well, who is going to die?"
And you'll hear me whispering, oh, so sweetly, "all of
them!"
And as the soft heads fall, I'll say, "hop-l?quot;
That same ship, eight sails shining,
Fifty-five cannons wide, sir,
Disappears with me.

The Salomon Song

20TH CENTURY BLUES


Why is it that civilized humanity
Can make the world so wrong ?
In this hurly-burly of insanity
Our dreams cannot last long.

We've reached a deadline,
A press headline,
Every sorrow.
Blues value
Is news value
Tomorrow.

Blues
Twentieth century blues
Are getting me down.
Blues
Escape those weary
Twentieth century blues.

Why,
If there's a God in the sky,
Why shouldn't He grin
High
Above this dreary
Twentieth century din ?

In this strange illusion,
Chaos and confusion,
People seem to lose their way.
What is there to strive for,
Love or keep alive for,
Say, 'Hey, hey!'
Call it a day ?

Blues
Nothing to win or to lose,
It's getting me down.
Blues
Escape those weary
Twentieth century blues.

We've reached a deadline,
A press headline,
Every sorrow.
Blues value
Is news value
Tomorrow.

Blues
Nothing to win or to lose,
It's getting me down.
Blues
Escape those dreary
Twentieth century
Blues.

ANNABEL LEE


It was many and many a year ago,
In a a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me;

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea:
But we loved with a love that was more than love ?
I and my ANNABEL LEE;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me;

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful ANNABEL LEE;
So that her high-born kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me ?
Yes! ? that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my ANNABEL LEE;

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we ?
Of many far wiser than we ?
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE,

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling ? my darling ? my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea

NOBODY'S FAULT


Treated you like a rusty blade
A throwaway from an open grave
Cut you loose from a chain gang
And let you go

And on the day you said it's true
Some love holds and some gets used
Tried to tell you I never knew
It could be so sweet
Who could ever be so cruel,
Blame the devil for the things you do.
It's such a selfish way to lose
The way you lose these wasted blues,
These wasted blues.

Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.

Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.

When the moon is a counterfeit
Better find the one that fits
Better find the one that lights
The way for you.

When the road is full of nails,
Garbage pails and darkened jails
And their tongues are full of heartless tales
That drain on you
Who would ever notice you
You fade into a shaded room ?
It's such a selfish way to lose
The way you lose these wasted blues
These wasted blues.

Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.

Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
