"Blackeye"


Hey come old Blackeye
He's looking for me again
He's got a hard head
He's always stinkin' of gin
If he thinks he owns me
He better think again
He likes to hurt me
He don't love me at all
He never phones me
He's never there when I call
He's a low down dirty dog
It's time I leave him that's all
Bye bye Blackeye

He's a low down dirty dog
I don't need him at all

(Hey watch what I'm saying man!?)

Hey where you goin' Blackeye ?
When will you win?
You still got your shoulder holster
You still packin' yo' little friend
Well one thing's for certain
You're never gonna wipe that smile off my face again

Oh yeah

"Can You Hear What I'm Saying"


The world is precious, a gift to you and me
I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity

Everybody's looking for some peace of mind
If you seek the truth then you will surely find
Everybody wants to have global peace
Whilst the press of a button can shake the world to its knees

[Chorus:]
Can you hear what I'm saying, can you hear what I'm saying

Those who say might is right, I beg to disagree
I say we all unite and redirect our destiny

Everybody's looking for a quick solution
Our longs are choking from breating in air polution
I say put down your guns and stop the revolution
And say this time we make a restitution

[Repeat chorus]

[Repeat chorus two times]

Can you hear me now, I am calling right out for you
(Can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out to you)

There's so much starvation, so much say untruth
So much prejudice, there's so much liquidation - oh how long, how long

Can you hear what I'm saying

Africa, America, Eurasia, Latin Africa

"Can't Stand It Any Longer"


Standin' on thin ice
Walkin' on a fine line
Never seem to buy, enough for you
If you're lookin' for a way out
Then you're headed for the right place
Givin' up is something I can't do

Ooh you got sharp claws
Always got your back up
Venom in your eyes, and blood so blue
Hangin' on a black tie
Sippin' on a half shell
Holdin' all the cards, and a joker too

[Bridge:]
You should have told me sooner
I would have let you go
Now you're driving me crazy

I can't stand it any longer
When you pay the price for freedom
It ain't wrong girl
I can't stand it any longer

Dancin' on hot coals
Playin' with a live wire
Sneakin' out the back door, you're so cool
If you really wanna move on
Then there's nothing left to say
Here's a ticket for the bus stop
I'm no fool

[Bridge:]
You should have told me sooner
I would have let you go
Now you're driving me crazy

I can't stand it any longer
When you pay the price for freedom
It ain't wrong girl
I can't stand it any longer

[Instrumental brake]

I can't stand it any longer (I can't take it anymore)
When you pay the price for freedom
It ain't wrong girl
I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I can't stand it any longer

I can't stand it any longer (I can't take it anymore)
When you pay the price for freedom
It ain't wrong girl
I can't stand it anymore
I can't take this anymore no

"Carmen"


Last night she ran away
Left a letter by the telephone
She didn't take the time to say goodbye
He knows he has to find her
Find a way to make her come back home
She stretched her wings and learned to fly

Carmen
Carmen, don't you care for me
Carmen
Carmen, don't you care
Carmen, don't you care for me

He calls but there's no answer
Operator, ring it one more time
He thinks of her and shuts his eyes
She wears the ring he gave her
Something magic, and it once was mine
Will she be thinking of him tonight?

Carmen
Carmen, don't you care for me
Carmen
Carmen, don't you care
Carmen, don't you care for me

He has to find her
I really miss that girl
He steals into the night
He'll go mad without her
I'm really mad about her

Carmen
Carmen, don't you care for me
Carmen
Carmen, don't you care
Carmen, don't you care for me

"Caught In The Balance"


What happened to me
It seems so long ago
The cuts run deep
But the scars still show
I live in the shadows
Where it's been so hard to grow
I'm still a servant in a nobleman's robes

You know my weakness girl
You know my kind
You helped me see when I was blind

[Chorus:]
It's a crime to live my life without you
Serve out my years in darkness
Inside these walls I'd die without you
And when I close my eyes I'm caught in the balance

Afraid of the hurricane I hide in my domain
I need release from all this pain
Please don't forsake me
In these ruins I call home
I can't wait forever
Don't leave me alone

I have a secret if you wanna learn
I will surrender in return

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

You know my weakness girl
You know my kind
You helped me see when I was blind

[Repeat chorus two times]

"Change Of Heart"


I got your letter stating I'm the only one
Are you forgetting all the damage that I've done
Are you waiting, contemplating why you changed your mind
Can't push my luck, good ones are getting hard to find

I'm wond'ring now if everything will be the same
I feel so empty knowing I'm the one to blame
And all along I never thought I stood a chance
Those lonely hours, mem'ries of you did enhance

[Chorus:]
Deep in the night when I need you so
You are the light, I can't let you go
You've been the one from the very start
You've got the power girl, to change a heart
You've got the power girl, to change a heart

The timing's right for all our diff'rences to end
We've come so far from all the places that we've been
My heart is telling me that you're my closest friend
It's alright, hold on tight, and do it all again

[Repeat chorus two times]

"Could This Be Love"


There was a young girl
Ridin' on the wind
She had all of the answers
Didn't need to pretend
I remember - she was the only friend
I ever needed

Now I wonder
How to work it all out
My hands are tremblin'
I've got this feelin' now

There's a bit of thunder
Pounding in my heart
A little uncertainty
That's been there from the start
Don't tell me all the looks you gave
Were the ones that I misread
'Cause all I hear now
Is a voice inside my head

Could this be love
That I hear calling
Could this be love
That I hear calling

Got a fast education
Holding you in tears
Someone finally hurt you
After all these years
Got to get my message to you somehow

Now you're lookin' in my eyes for courage
Too late to think this through
Baby
There must be something we can do

There's a bit of thunder
Pounding in my heart
A little uncertainty
That's been there from the start
Don't tell me all the looks you gave
Were the ones that I misread
'Cause all I hear now
Is a voice inside my head

Could this be love
That I hear calling
Could this be love
That I hear calling

[Instrumental brake]

There's a bit of thunder
Pounding in my heart
A little uncertainty
That's been there from the start
Don't tell me all the looks you gave
Were the ones that I misread
'Cause all I hear now
Is a voice inside my head

Could this be love
That I hear calling
Could this be love
That I hear calling

"Cruel"


What you've got
You had to steal
That's the reason
For how you feel
Considering what
You've done so far
I'm rather amazed
At where you are

Lift your head up babe
Pull yourself together
Nothing's worse than dying slow
There's no reason darling
Reason whatsoever
That we can't end this game of touch and go

It's such a cruel world
When you have to think twice,
And you're caught up in this roundabout
It's such a cruel world
When your back's against the wall
And there's no way out

You're not giving it up,
But you're giving it out
Seems to me,
You got a little too much doubt
Augmentation,
Is what you need
Your generosity
Looks alot like greed

You might call me crazy
If you don't understand it
There's no way for you to know
You say love is hazy,
And you don't demand it
Can't we end this game of touch and go

It's such a cruel world
When nothing goes right
And the plans you made
Start falling 'round you
It's such a cruel world
Well, just throw me the rope babe
And pull me out

You've got that kind of love
It flows like a fountain
But sometimes love can be unkind
My kind of love you know
It's higher than a mountain
But love can be so hard to find

Lift your head up babe
Pull yourself together
Nothing's worse than dying slow
There's no reason, darling
Reason whatsoever
That we can't end this game of touch and go

It's such a cruel world
When you have to think twice
And you're caught up in this roundabout
It's such a cruel world
When your back's against the wall and there's no way out

It's such a cruel world
It's such a cruel world out there baby
It's such a cruel world
It's such a cruel cruel world and there's no way out

What love
Get you right
Wanna get you right

Oh I - I see darkness in your future babe
Oh I - It's a tunnel black as night
Oh I - See a rich man with his hand out babe
Oh I - Know a seer with no sight
Oh I - Watch fire burn those bridges babe
Oh I - Feel wrong turn into right
Oh I - Yeah
Oh I - Do you understand me babe
Oh I - Ooh

"Don't Chain My Heart"


Tired and frozen
I'm under your spell
I thought I knew you
But now I know you well
I wake up beside you
Move across your killing floor
I need my freedom and I see an open door
The room is getting smaller and the walls are closin' in
No one's leavin' and nobody's gettin' in

I try to run
I try to hide
I try to tell you what I'm feelin' inside
Should I stay
Should I go
You know I wanna touch you
But there's nothing left to hold

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go

Looks like trouble
The signs are everywhere
I bend a little but you take more than your share
Crimes of passion
Crimes of mortal men
It's a deadly attraction and I won't be fooled again, baby
The storm is coming
The winds begin to rise
Please release me from this house of compromise

All day
All night
Your love is like an outlaw waiting till the time is right
Nobody's wrong
No one's to blame
Maybe it's just too hot because we're standin' in the flame

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go

I'm a victim of your pain and jealousy
I feel like a prisoner and you hold the lock and key
We lost our vision
We lost our paradise
But there's still a part of me I refuse to sacrifice

[Instrumental break]

I try to run
I try to hide
I need to tell you what I'm feelin' inside, baby
Should I stay
Should I go
You know I wanna touch you
But there's nothing left to hold

Don't chain my heart
Don't chain my soul
Don't chain my heart
'Cause you got to let it go
[repeats 2x]

"Drag Him To The Roof"


They keep looking through the window
A cathode glaze across their eyes
Now that I've been betrayed
I must be well behaved
I'll drink corruption with their lies

Why was I hiding out?
What am I running from?
Why are they waiting?
Have I always been the choosen one?

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

I wish that lady would defend me
I can't abide by all the laws
I'll buy the magistrate
Can't be a second late
I anxiously await his call

Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
When I have fallen through the cracks?

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

[Instrumental brake]

It's not a pretty thing to see

Drag him to the roof

I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see

Drag him to the roof
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me
