Something I don't know

Tell me your secrets or tell me your lies Don't matter which one for you to decide Tell me something Something I don't know Tell me something Something I don't know Speaking the words that she spoke on the train Some of the best things are best unexplained Tell me something Something I don't know Tell me something Something I don't know She's a daffodil on my bonnet top Sitting on me in the parking lot Time to shit or get off the pot But hell I don't want this thing to stop Oh no...

And still she goes She wants to fight all this war on her own Three legged horse at a million to one Tell me something Something I don't know Tell me something Something I don't know She's a daffodil on my bonnet top Sitting on me in the parking lot Time to shit or get off the pot But hell I don't want this thing to stop Oh no... And still she goes Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? oh oh oh oh oh... I don't know...

Damn Honey

Patterns on the wall when there's no one talking Juniors at the ball with a girl he's stalking I don't know anybody who gets around like you She’s talking like an angel biting devil When she's caught in a corner made of stone or metal With nowhere else to turn Damn honey ya got it all going on tonight Damn honey ya got it all going on tonight Times are changing but her habits aren't breaking Love loss trust and a word that's taken Her this far She got caught in the moment Get stuck in further Learn to run or die for another cause Ain't worth a second thought Damn honey ya got it all going on tonight Damn honey ya got it all going on tonight She wants it, She needs it I’m begging on my knees just to see her She comes and goes... You gotta keep on movin' Stop your talkin'

You don't know what's it's like You gotta keep on movin' Stop your talkin' You don't know what's it's like Damn honey ya got it all going on tonight Damn honey ya got it all going on tonight Got fiery eyes and hair to match it Move fast on your feet if ya wanna catch that Beauty soaked skin Now tell her if ya want it tell if ya need it Tell her sweet things gonna end up on your knees now Like all of the rest Damn honey ya got it all going on tonight Damn honey ya got it all going on tonight She comes and goes... You gotta keep on movin' Stop your talkin' You don't know what's it's like You gotta keep on movin' Stop your talkin' You don't know what's it's like…

Never Really Cried

Moonlight shines to light your way Morning comes to wash it all away Oh baby, I never really cried for you You were lost inside your world I tried to help, I was ignored Oh baby, I never really cried for you Oh give me a reason babe Tonight, today Give me a reason now to throw it all away Give it up to your teasing babe Lead me astray Never knew that love could ever feel this way Oh now baby, I never really cried for you Oh baby, I never really cried for you Silent message in the form of a blush She's got to give it And she gets it too much Oh now baby, I never really cried for you And when the closeness goes and you grow apart You got to get right back to the start And now baby, I never really cried for you Oh give me a reason babe

Tonight, today Give me a reason now to throw it all away Give it up to your teasing babe Lead me astray Never knew that love could ever feel this way Oh now baby, I never really cried for you Oh baby, I never really cried for you Baby, I never really cried for you Oh baby, I never really cried for you Silent message in the form of a blush She's got to give it if she gets it too much And now baby, I never really cried for you When the closeness goes and you grow apart You got to get right back to the start Oh now baby, I never really cried for you Oh baby, I never really cried for you Oh baby, I never really cried for you I never oh baby, I never really cried for you I never, never cried I never really cried for you I never cried I never really cried for you

Plastic Compass Well I read all my maps but I still don't know where I'm at This plastic compass gave up a mile before you joined us Got one foot dug but I'm trying hard not to get stuck Broken white lines on a road that brings you no luck I was a wild card child in a hand jokers love to play But sooner or later jokers loose their way Sound of my cogs on a mission, cryin' to stop These weary old bones need rest from the tick tock clock, tick tock! Now I don't care I don't need you No I don't care I don't need you

Jacked on the side with nowhere else to go No lights between us, no whispers, no guarantee known If I changed my route and I started all over again Would you be my passenger, my only friend? Now I don't care I don't need you No I don't care I don't you Drivin' the line, show me the way to go... No whisper no, no mission no, guarantee of goin’ home... Got one foot dug but I'm trying hard not to get stuck Broken white lines on a road that brings ye no luck

Won't Let Go

You call me up just to let me down Words were lost, never found Get me a place where I feel my own space To get you off my mind Well you left me out in the pounding rain Soaked to the bone, were you ashamed To hold me by the hand and whisper in my ear Your always on my mind? I should have known, you would not show I should have known, you would not show

Your love, will not let go Your love, will not let go Your love Won't let go, let go No no Now you can buy me a house or buy me a car Not much different cause your gone too far Aint gonna walk a path were the sun don't shine Your always on my mind I should have known, you would not show...

Waters Edge

(The Baptism) Hold me down To the ground Break these chains So I can feel you space I wanna run to the water’s edge --------------------- Hold my hand Through the night Fall down slow Juices flow I wanna run to the water’s edge That's where I'll rest my head I wanna run to the water’s edge Sail with me

The seven seas Feel her breeze Watch her tease I wanna run to the water’s edge That's where I'll rest my head I wanna run to the water’s edge Underneath The cherry tree Life begins A rose that sins I wanna run to the water’s edge That's where I'll rest my head I wanna run to the water’s Oh to the edge She runs, runs away But I know her name…

Tired Of Tryin’

I'll never be your number one But I sure as hell am tired of tryin’ Her face demands so much attention Got the walk and the perfect dimensions The story stays the same I'm waiting for a change I'll never be your lover But I sure as hell am tired of tryin’ Got the poems that you love to read at night Just a shame you never call me by flashin’ your light The story stays the same Waiting for a change I'll never be your party But I sure as hell am tired of tryin’ Well I'm drinking almost every morning Just to ease the pain of not being wanted The story stays the same

I'm waiting for a change I'll never be the sun on your tan But I'm sure as hell am never gonna fight that man I'll never be your Valentine Grab me by the collar throw me back in line Got the words of a silent operation Got the time but I need a location I got the feeling that something is missin’ This ain’t love if its love in submission The story stays the same I'm waiting for a change I'll never be the sun on your tan But I'm sure as hell am never gonna fight that man I'll never be your Valentine Grab me by the collar throw me back in line Tired of tryin’...

Love Don’t Work

I tried to love you As you did me and a lil bit more But things can get ye Bring ye some place ye never been before But love don't work like that, no more Once you’re gone It’s not hard to do it wrong I was gone Gone one day far too long But love don't work like that, no more We had fun But it melted down like a bleeding sun I remember what you said

In November Love don't work like that, no more Oh I only wanna chi-cha, chi-cha, chi-cha I only wanna chi-cha, chi-cha, cha-chi Love when you look at me I love you Please don't say Love don't work like that, no more In the end I had to run away I could not stay When things get heavy Certain type of men say certain type of things Like love don't work like that, no more No more...

Memphis

Annie got a camera there ain’t no subject in mind Julie’s got a ring but a man she can not find Jeffery’s wants a bicycle to ride right out of town Marta sits there wishing, she was found But I’ll be waiting for the pictures in the paper blow on through Because when the sun comes up I’ll be watching on Memphis for you Danny got a new car, his friends and neighbours admire With a deep hidden streak of darkened desires While Angie graduated from college in psychology She asked Annie to take a picture She said Annie you got a subject in me But I’ll be waiting for the pictures in the paper blow on

through Because until the sun comes up I’ll be watching on Memphis for you I will be holding on, holding on I will be holding on, holding on I will be holding on, holding on I will be holding on, holding on And I hope some day we can, clarify that true love really can shine Because when the sun comes up I’ll be watching on a Memphis for you Because when the sun comes up I’ll be watching on Memphis for you

Outside Looking In

Nothing in this life is free I think you'd disagree You've been hangin’ round too long Autumn came leaves all changed Winters in the snow begins Your footsteps climbing in the door You can look from the outside In But you'll never look from the Inside out All you can do is hope and pray You can look from the outside in But you'll never look from the inside out How much longer you gonna stay? Pearly white teeth and blossom cheeks Legs and feet to the beat If only these walls could talk I'm sure that you'd love her too Real tattoo and cheap perfume Coat hangin’ firmly on the door

You can look from the outside in But you never look from the inside out All you can do is hope and pray You can look from the outside in But you'll never look from the inside out How much longer you gonna stay? I thought it was just a phase One that would fade away But now I hear she's bigger ever day I said that she'd never win But sometimes love can change the wind Now it seems I'm the one looking in You can look from the outside in But you'll never look from the inside out All you can do is hope and pray You can look form the outside in But you'll never look from the inside out How much longer you gonna stay?...

Time To Go

Dressed like a doll, swearing like a sailor When the foghorn blows, she knows its time to go Waving goodbye, not for the first time Not for the last time, her face, it fades away Till nothing else remains From songs that she sings Come roses in Spring Sits on the wind The joy they both bring Saying hello, not for the first time Not for the last time, she walks back in again Its slowly all begins Don't throw it away Rome wasn't built in a day Now I don't want you to change Don't tell me you feel the same No more I wait, no more I'll stay cause Everything we ever said was turned and used like fighting soldiers aiming at each other’s heads

Everything we ever said was turned and used like fighting soldiers aiming at each other’s heads The roses in Spring I fed with love are dead! Waving goodbye, not for the first time Not for the last time, her face, fades away Till nothing else remains Don't throw it away Rome wasn't built in a day Now I don't want you to change Don't tell me you feel the same No more I wait, no more I'll stay ‘cause Everything we ever said was turned and used like fighting soldiers aiming at each other’s heads Everything we ever said was turned and used like fighting soldiers aiming at each other’s heads The roses in Spring I fed with love are dead!
