"Pay The Price"


I try to keep your name
And still get rid of your face
I hate to be by myself
All locked away in this place
You turn me inside out
You turn me outside in
Around and upside down
A rollercoaster within

Pay the price of love
When he calls for you
You've got to
Pay the price of love
When he calls for you

I grab my big black book
And call the numbers I know
Something is melting this town
Like it was all made of snow
You turn me inside out
You turn me outside in
Around and up and down
The elevator within

Pay the price of love (ooh la la la)
When he calls for you
You've got to
Pay the price of love (ooh la la la)
When he calls for you

Spending the evening alone
With the 10 o'clock news
Looking at you through the holes
In the soles of my old brown shoes

"Cooper"


Cooper went out late last night
I heard the slam from her door
Foggy ways, November daze
All the white wolves were smiling

Cooper went out walkin' the clouds
She left everything in a mess
"Shut your mouth when you talk to me"
Her words were always so small

And there's a sound from the telephone
When can I say she's coming home?
Leave me the number you're dialing from
And may I ask who's calling?
May I ask who's calling?

Cooper went out, 3 o'clock sharp
I heard the bells from the church
Someone said they saw a car
Picking her up by the stations

Cooper went out and that's all there is
I'm just no one from next door
Everything will be alright
When all the flowers have cried

Then there's a voice on the telephone
When can I say she's coming home?
Leave me the number you're dialing from
And may I ask who's callin'? (Who's calling?)
May I ask who's calling? (Who's calling?)
May I ask who's calling?

"Staring At The Ground"


I'm staring at the ground
I'm bloodless, thrown away from the sun
What's lost cannot be found
I can't return your tears
If I ever live to be a thousand years

I'm staring at the ground
I never wished you a broken heart
Coincidence put you down
He won't withdraw those tears
If you ever lived to be a thousand years

What do I have to say to make you stay?
What do I have to do to make you happy?

I'm staring at the ground
I wish I could bring the spring to your door
To the coldest side of town
I carry your wounded dreams
Like the devil's deeds in the pocket of my jeans

What do I have to say to make you stay?
What do I have to do to make you happy?

"Beautiful Things"


Beautiful things
Are comin' my way
Beautiful things
I want them to stay
But after a while
My beautiful things
Don't seem beautiful at all

Terrible things
Like when you wake up
And all of your dreams
Seem to crack up
Like things you have done
Like breakin' my heart
For you it don't seem
Terrible at all

Is there someone I can talk to?
Someone on the line?
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind?

Beautiful things
Like leaves on a tree
Beautiful things
The sky and the sea
Since you've been gone
No beautiful things
Seem beautiful to me

Is there someone I can talk to?
Someone out there on the line?
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind?

Make the grass grow in the garden
When the rain is passin' by
Does anybody want to know
What's on my mind?

"Real Sugar"


Right in the front door I recognized the perfume
The scent was perfect in the dusk by the moon
There must be many ways to ask her to my room
Why didn't I dare?

Well, every hour I try to get somethin' done
Out in the weekend when I'm just havin' some fun
I'm windin' up with none, just zeroes, no 1's, just space with no air

I get: "Bye-bye baby-baby bye baby-baby bye-bye:"
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what I want and what I need
That's what I need.

Yeah, every Friday I'm gettin' ready to roll
I want her blue eyes start sayin' "Hi" and "Hellow"
but I can always tell she'd rather be alone with some other guy

I get: "Bye-bye baby-baby bye baby-baby bye-bye:"
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what I want and what I need
Real sugar, I don't wanna climb the walls
Real sugar, that's what I want or none at all
Real sugar, sweet as a sweet can be
Real sugar, that's what you've got so what's for me?
Hey, what's for me?

I turn myself in, turn turn turn
I turn myself out, outside and in
Gimme gimme real sugar
I don't wanna climb the walls.

"The Center Of The Heart (Is The Suburb To The Brain)"


What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of the heart is the suburb to the brain?

You wear them so well, those innocent eyes
You're putting on a wonderful disguise.
I want you so bad, I'm pushing my luck
It feels like being hit by a truck.
This is no place special, don't know why I came
If someone has a minute, won't you explain?

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?

Singing: "Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na"

Beeing with you, dealing with fire
Oh, won't you come around (come out) come out (today) and play
I want you so bad, answer my calls
Let's spend the night within these walls
This is no place special, nothing for the same (nothing for the same)
If someone's got a minute, do please explain!

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?

Singing: "Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na"

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me...
(tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me)
What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain? Tell me,
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?

Singing: "Na na na na na na, Na na na na na na"

What am I gonna do now?
What am I gonna do when I get a little excited a little in vain?
The center of my heart... yeah, yeah, yeah!
What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon hoooooooo!
Na na na na na na
What am I gonna do now?

What am I gonna say when I find the center of my heart is the suburb to the brain?

"Milk And Toast And Honey"


Milk and toast and honey make it sunny on a rainy Saturday, he-he-hey
Milk and toast, some coffee take the stuffiness out of days you hate, you really hate
Slow morning news pass me by
I try not to analyze but didn't he blow my mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind?

(Here he comes)
To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the hurt inside
Is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want in life

Milk and toast and honey
Ain't it funny how things sometimes look so clear and feel so near
The dreams I dream, my favourite wishful thinkin'
Oh, he's bookmarked everywhere, everywhere
True love might fall from the sky
You never know what to find but didn't he blow my mind this time
Didn't he blow my mind?

(Here he comes)
To bring a little lovin', honey
To take away the pain inside
Is everything that matters to me
Is everything I want from life

Oh lay a little lovin', honey
To feel you're gettin' close to me
Is everything that matters to me
Is everywhere I wanna be

"Jefferson"


Jefferson was always out of luck
I remember when we both grew up
Jefferson got hit by a westbound truck
I guess that didn't make him look like a million bucks
That night when Sally really stole the show
And every boy was captured diggin' for gold
Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul

Jefferson is always on my mind
When him and me were runnin' out of time
Jefferson was sure enough left be behind
The cops came in and took him by surprise
That night when Sally really showed her game
The neighbourhood would never be the same
Poor old Jefferson got the blame

Ooooh
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
Yeah
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul

I do believe he didn't do wrong
I say a prayer for someone I care for
I do believe he didn't do wrong
I say a prayer for someone I care for

That night where Sally really gave it all
And made us small boys look quite tall
Poor old Jefferson left the ball

Yeah
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
a-a-a-a-ah [X3]

"Little Girl"


Once upon a time there was a little girl
Once she was mine
In my heart the only one
I wonder where you are
I know you're somewhere in me
I can see your smile when I close my eyes

Oh, little girl
Where did you go, little girl
I miss you so
I remember when she was mine

Once upon a time there was a little voice
Singing loud and clear
In my heart the only one
Once upon a times there was so many dreams
Once they were mine
Where did you go, little girl
I miss you so
I remember when she was mine

"Looking For Jane"


Where did she go?
Where did she go from here?
The last time I saw her
she made all the clouds disappear
She said, with a smile,
yea, the weather's alright
She left her coat at home that night

Where do I begin today?
Where do colours never fade?
In the sunshine, in the rain
it's quite the same
It's never gonna change
I'll be looking for Jane

Why did she come?
Why did she come to me?
There must have been millions
in the world she'd rather see
At least in my mind
as time has gone by
it's always harder to laugh then to cry

Where do I begin today? (ba-ba-ba)
Where the colours never fade (ba-ba-ba)
In the sun and in the rain
it's quite the same
It's never gonna change
I'll be looking for Jane

Where do I begin today? (ba-ba-ba)
Where the sunshine never fades (ba-ba-ba)
In the sun and in the rain
it's quite the same
It's never gonna change
I'll be looking for Jane

Where do I begin today?
Where the colours never fade
In the sun and in the rain
it's quite the same
It's never gonna change
I'll be looking for Jane

Where do I begin today?
Where the sun will never fade
In the sun and in the rain
it's quite the same
It's never gonna change
I'll be looking for Jane

In the sunshine in the rain
it's quite the same
It's never gonna change
I'll be looking for Jane
