THE PUNK STAR

No more heroes they saidIt’s time to get out of bedAnd dye my hair infraredAll I want is to be ahead

Make me make me the punk star I deserve to be

Burn cars smash windowsPogo all night drink beerSafety pins zipped pantsGod saved the queenAnd the facist regime


Sid never gave up While Nancy stood upGive me back that public imageThat city ain’t a villageLet’s turn to guerilla We better not taste like vanilla

WHAT I KNOW SO FAR

Encyclopedia got me to MariaAnd Wikipedia gave me amnesia The billionaire in meMy cousin at first degreeYou thought you’d be meI realized I could be you

Hang out on a Friday nightFrench kissing is no fightOh no, who dumped who?Oh Debbie is that you?

For French kiss here’s some tipsLock your eyes and lick your lipsTake it slow and close your eyesNow you’re there no more lies

Clubbing on a Saturday nightFrench kiss in the lightOh well, if only I knewFor you it’s no taboo

For French kiss here’s some tipsLock your eyes and lick your lipsTake it slow and close your eyesNow you’re there no more lies

Degrees Of Love

30

DEGREES OF LOVE

Anguish was my beliefUntil I came to griefSorrow is my lonelinessFor all that sadness

Madness is my only pleaI love you baby do not leave me

I tried an intimate discourseBut insomnia got me of courseI have that burning desireThat deep friendship could not fire


All my sincere affection Went from love to attentionDeep affection could not put me at restAs my liking interest was my best


And this youthful zealPassionate love could not fillI thought that this deep attachmentWas just Infatuation for detachment

Hothouse Flower


Excessive love may be bewitchmentAbsurd fondness is not a commitmentSubmission as you know babyIs love sickness as you see


31

NO REGRETS

It was just a a bowl of cherries And your portrait that I used to cherishYou’re no longer the handsome animal When we dated at the mall

I have no regretsJust a few sunsetsI’ll forget your silhouetteNo, no regrets

BARRY

I kind of bleed up thereTo make you feel what’s in the airNight after night you need magicRight in my stomach no panic

Witty lyrics, moving lyricsA lot of anger, a lot of rhythmI like that I like thatBut how long can this last

Take me back to CopacabanaOne last time amanhã (pronounce amaña)Together you and IUntil the sun rises amanhã (pronounce amaña)

Don’t go too far into thisWay too personal to dismissMandy was so honest and vulnerable Too much trouble I’m so miserable

Take me back to CopacabanaOne last time amanhã (pronounce amaña)Together you and IUntil the sun rises amanhã (pronounce amaña)
