Don't Call Me Up

Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me on the telephone

I am the Captain,
But you just don't give a damn about my fantasy
You dial my number,
When I'm dreaming' of the places that I like to be
I have been all over in the world
From east to west - I've seen those smiling' Geisha girls
A place beyond the boundaries of Hell -
Mansions you've never seen or smelled

Don't call me up...

Don't call me up when you're alone
Don't call me up...

Don't call me on the telephone

I am the Captain,
I'll remind you of the fact I don't need no company
I don't want to buy ya
To release me from my daydream, and this fantasy
I have been upon the 7 seas
I've seen the world and all its treasuries
Let me introduce you to the members of the band...
Oh, I forgot...they're sitting dry - on land.

Don't call me up...
Don't call me up - Don't call me up

Hey...
Don't call me on the telephone

I have been all over in the world
From east to west - I've seen, I've seen those smiling' Geisha girls
A place beyond the boundaries of Hell -
Mansions you've never seen or smelled
So don't call me up

Don't call me up - Don't call me up
NO! He's...I'm...no I'm not home...
Just leave me alone...
Don't call me up when you're alone
Please, don't call here again...

Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me up when you're alone
Don't call me up - Don't call me up
Don't call me on the telephone...
Don't call me up

Eggs + Coffee

How can you say
You're giving all your love to me now
When I can feel
Nothing real from you when you're around
Who visits you when I'm away from home
You're alone
What's going' on? I'm past gone...
My mind is not in place
I am trying carefully to keep
My act together now
I cannot give up
You can tell me anything, but please...
Don't say you'll leave me

(If we can just pretend) Hey!
That we're in love again...
(And make it work out)
Just give it time...
(If we can just pretend) Hey!
That we're in love again...
(And make it work out)
I see no crime...

Hearts full of darts
Can heal
Then heal if there's a chance...
Less romance
I'll love you more
Than before
We'll go our seas alone
No...

I am trying carefully to keep
My act together now
I cannot give up
Tell me anything, but please...
Don't say you'll leave me

(If we can just pretend) Hey!
That we're in love again...
(And make it work out)
Just give it time...
(If can just pretend) Hey!
That we're in love again...
(And make it work out)
I see no crime...

I Want To Know (International Lady)

Listen to me now
I saw you on the street the other day
It could've been Paris or L.A.
I knew right away that I should make you mine
Love ain't that easy to find
Picked up the phone
Looked at the dial
I think I'll give this damn thing one more try tonight

Let's spend the evening together
...together

I chased your shadow all around the world
New York to London... won't you slow down, girl
Hey taxi driver, won't you follow her...
...that who, Ferrari and no other car...
You got away, I stand alone
I'll find ya even if I have to roam the world...

Let's spend the evening together
...together

I want you now
(I want you now)
I need you here
(I want to make sweet love to you)
I want you now
(I want you now)
I dream of you it's all I do when I...(ooOOh)

I finally tracked you down in Florida...
A Martini dried up on the sand.
You were the talk of our society
I'd give it all to hold your hand.
I looked at you, you gave a smile...
You know, I've searched for you, girl, all the while tonight...

Let's spend the evening together
...together (together) together

I want you now
(I want you now)
I need you here
(I want to make sweet love to you)
I want you now
(I want you now)
I dream of you it's all I do when I...(ooOOh)

Now, this is the thing about it, baby...
I searched for you...
I tracked you down...
I went all around the world, I spanned the globe.
You wanted me just as bad as I wanted you...
But now I've got you right here where I want you.
We're in this tropical paradise, in this hotel room
We're holding each other tight, and it feels...
...and it feels like... (oh, oh... whoa)

All right... all right...
Baby... baby...
You know I want you, girl
Shake it down, whooo!

I want you now
(I want you now)
I need you here
(I want to make sweet love to you)
I want you now
(I want you now)
I dream of you it's all I do when I...

I've been a long time on my journey now...
You say let's go, I'm in a hurry...
I'm facing my dream because you're in my arms.
International Lady are you married?

You tell me "yes,"
I ask you why?
"Who said the game was fun?"...
Was your reply...

Let's spend the evening together
...together, together, together

I want you now
(I want you now)
I dream of you...
It's all I la-la ever do...
I want you now
You see, baby I need you here with me
I want you now...
I dream of you - its all I do

Let Her Down Easy

You're top man on the scene
You don't think life comes in between
But hey, she's just seventeen
She feels that she's a worldly girl
But man you've been around the world
She is just some worried daddy's girl
Even though there's nothing I can say
To cheat you and nature any way

Let her down easy
Her heart is on a dime
Let her down easy
And you'll grow up in time

In her strawberry eyes
The way she sees you signifies
That she's susceptible to your velvet lies
But if you must lay her down
May a butterscotch glow be her dressing gown
And please do not lead her on when you leave town
Even though there's nothing I can say
To cheat you and nature any way

Let her down easy
Her heart is on the line
Let her down easy
And you'll grow up in time

She's a woman now
With a daughter to make her proud
In her crayon world of paper clouds
She still remembers you
The first boy that she gave it to
And she laughs at how little then she knew
Her daughter's five and her grandfather adores her (of course)

Let her down easy
Her heart is on the line
Let her down easy
And you'll grow up in time

Seasons

I won't say goodbye
I don't want to use that exit line
Please don't make me lie
I have no excuse for you this time
'Cause sometimes
(It's alright for a season)
But then it's time to go

The verses of my life are moving past
And so now the chorus I must hear
I've got to define my life and times
Before I can give you more than tears
'Cause sometimes
(It's alright for a season)
But then it's time to go

Your heart was stretched to the point of breaking
Your tears are etched and your sorrow is waking

This complicated curse
Causes you to freeze our love in time
If I awaken that first
It's only 'cause you lost yourself in mine
Please don't let me see you cry
'Cause sometimes
It's alright for a season
But then it's time to go

I Still Love You

I couldn't sleep last night wondering where were you?
In your mind I mean
Why didn't you scream?
Though I say the wrong thing now and then
I still love you

In my hour of passionate thought
You know I say things that I ought (not to)
And though we may not stay together
I still love you

All alone now long down the line
And still these tear storms loneliness finds
But like the tide that rises
Slaps against the beach and falls
And though it's no longer my pail to pull and all
And though the weight of all our years
Their silent whispers call

I still love you
I still love you
I still love you

Succumb To Me

Whoever you are come forth
Come forth
These are the days that must happen to you
Come forth

I am a spirit
Up above your head
Though I rest in you
As though you were a bed
In a molecular world
In an electric state
I sing the praise of angels
And I sit and wait for you

Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me
Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me

Give me your tears
I'll keep them in a glass
I'll store them with the treasures
That I've amassed
Give me your ears
I have secrets to tell
I will make you hear the delicate bell
All around you

Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me
Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me

Give me your anger
And I'll soften the tone
I am the kiss that grows
Where love is shown
I am the mirror
That reflects your flickering flame
So follow me through your mirror frame

Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me
Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me
These are the days that must happen to you
Whoever you are come forth

I have not revealed myself to you
To be another statistic
I have come to you to be my mystic

Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me
Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me
Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me
Baby, baby, baby
Succumb to me

Whoever you are come forth
These are the days that must happen to you
These are the days that must happen to you

Are You Happy?

I know that it's your own life
I tell you this
With an eye on your future
Yes I know
Mind my own business
But I am here
As an aid and a comfort
I can see what you're going through
'Cause we've all been there before
But all in all
Here's that I'm wondering
I want to know
Are you happy?
Look me in the eye
And answer my question
I want to know
Are you happy?
Or are you afraid
Of decisions that you need to make?

I know that life's about choices
But making a wrong one
Will not stop the world
When in doubt just live the questions
And someday you will grow into the answer
You're allowed as many mistakes
As you need to learn and move on
Well, well, well now ponder this
'Cause my heart is ringing a bell
I want to know
Are you happy?
I'm coming to you from Heartbeat Avenue
I wanna know
Are you happy,
Or are you running
From decisions that you need to make?

I wanna know
Are you happy?
Can I be of service?
What can I do to help you now?
I know life's a bitch sometimes
But you got to take it in
Chew it up
And spit it out again
You got to accept the pain
You can't get around it
You can't get under it
But you can get over it

"T.I.T.S."/"F&J"

You lead a life inside of your mind
That has nothing to do whatsoever with my time
She stated very clear
She made it very plain

Your subplot world is so cavalier
Yet you knew the tension inside the sweetness was so near
She stated very clear
She made it very plain
In a way that needs no refrain

Frankie and Johnny were lovers alright
A man and a woman toughened by the weight of time
But not quite as hard as they seem
Because they both have hearts awaiting dreams

Frankie, a tough gal when she needs to be
Johnny, a city hard street man
A softer side seen eventually
But they'll both be ok even with a heartbreak yesterday

Oh when a gentle breeze takes love liberties
When a breath of air
Blows your heart a pair
Of kisses where
You wait for her

Frankie and Johnny were lovers alright
And the tempered scale of experience
Cannot forever indict
Two hearts looking to belong in the heat
Of the sun as opposed to night

No, I wouldn't worry about them
'Cos people in love cannot condemn
Those who are in love too
Frankie and Johnny were lovers alright

Castilian Blue

She was a paragon of soft scented chinois curls
She stood with nothing on
As we watched my flag unfurl
We fell in love so fast
That it spun my head around
Her coffee tawny skin
Sent my blood pressure up and down
Castilian blue
Castilian blue
I never ever thought
I'd be so taken by a girl like you

Lavender scented pillows
Gave a smell to her room
That when I smell it now
Sends my heart into a sad mood
Black men and her commitments
She had a problem with
And the mention of her father
Would cause her to get very miffed at me
Castilian blue
Castilian blue
I never ever thought
I'd be so taken by a girl like you

Bon bons and fishnet stockings
Used to settle any score
Till one day I felt the breeze awake me
Coming in through an open door
Recurring dreams
I see her in Mirabella Magazine
Multi-coloured babies
Running round behind her knee
She's long, long, gone
Castilian blue
Castilian blue
I never ever thought
I'd be so taken by a girl like you
