The best things in life are free
My boss is always tryin' to make me believe
But every club wants an admission fee
to hit a blocked door isn't fun to me
Monday I have to pay the rent
Month's hardly started but my dough's almost spent
Cheap dinner on a tuesday night
I'll have my butter without bread if the budget's too tight
I need more money
work night and day
And badly need to get me somewhat a raise
No bossy thank you's
Or flower bouquets
You only need to give me a raise
Why would I want to go on holidays?
No matter what the sun will shine anyway
Don't need to visit any sunny bays
So why do I feel like running away?
Wednesday, I wake up with a fever
No time for that, I'm a high achiever
On Thursday night, all my friends will come over
I hope they don't expect me to live in clover
I need more money
work night and day
And badly need to get me somewhat a raise
No bossy thank you's
Or flower bouquets
You only need to give me a raise
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me
Friday's what they call the weak end
But I need a strong drink to comprehend
why everybody says that love is free
but if you don't have no money there's no company
I need more money
work night and day
And badly need to get me somewhat a raise
No bossy thank you's
Or flower bouquets
You only need to give me a raise
I need more money
work night and day
And badly need to get me somewhat a raise
No bossy thank you's
Or flower bouquets
You only need to give me a raise
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me
M-O-N-E-Why don't you give it to me

Wait till he calls back (they say)
Wait till he calls back
Empty faces hide a trail
blazed by loss and regret (loss and regret)
When it rains it pours
but I don't fear getting wet
I've played all my cards right (played all my cards right)
Can't blame the one who mixed the deck
Bitter drinks are the best (swallow it down)
Bitter drinks are the best (down down)
It's not hard to let your guard down
The mask only makes me sweat (so fucking wet)
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
You can't hedge all bets
with me
What you see is what you get (what you see's what you get)
Birds of a feather (birds of a feather)
flock together (together) (make sure you take the safe route)
But when your grey geese fly away
this gosling will stay
Riding high in May (so high)
Riding high in May (high as the sky)
I take so many pictures
before the scene fades away (to shades of grey)
When the bartender gives the last call
I'll gladly accept
it's only sad to go home
when you ain't seen nothing yet (you ain't seen nothing yet)
I'd rather keep it simple
what you see is what you get (what you see's what you get)

Gipsy Woman
02:47
|
|||
|
I'm a gypsy woman
with no working spell
The only kind of magic
that I can do well
will put you in a groove
put your hands on my hips
your body starts to move
till the record skips
what's your favorite song?
if you ain't got soul there is no
way that we'll get along
They say she's out looking for romance
I'm not sure bout that
what I know is that she likes to dance
Drums are calling me
I'm ready to go
they're gonna drag me to a
place I don't know
Flocks in the dark
leaking garbled sounds
I'm breathing hard
am about to drown
such a lovely spin
Is it you or the music? who knows
I'm about to give in
They say she will never ever take her chance
I'm not sure bout that
what I know is that she likes to dance

Rain For Me
02:37
|
|||
|
chocolate ice-cream for breakfast
sink my teeth in a brand new day
don't want to wait till it starts to melt
there is nothing too vanilla bout me anyway
there were clouds in my coffee
open the window
make it rain for me
bathroom mirror's damp with haze
I haven't seen my face for days
feels weird to be sober
wine and cigars make a great lunch why don't you come over
there's a lump in my throat not in my tea
open the window and
make it rain for me
(git solo)
I feel it's getting harder to breathe
open the window
make it rain for me

Linger With You
03:22
|
|||
|
I don't like miracles they're way too few and far between (unless you have a miracle machine)
They have a tendency to make you doubt what you have seen (that's really mean! Ooh ooh ooh
ooh)
don't want to wait for magic (things that don't exist)
my position's far from tragic
I know what bliss is
Would you mind if I linger with you?
(linger with you)
I know I seldom say the words that you long to hear (unless it's 'would you like another beer')
But that's just me, no need to attribute it to pride or fear (I'm being sincere, ooh ooh ooh ooh)
don't judge me by a letter (spelling's meant for school)
You know what really matters is
You make me drool
Would you mind if I linger with you?
(linger with you)
Write on my skin what time can't erase (you better keep your pencil sharp)
Paint a big grin all over your face
All men are equal when the currency we use is time (unless you count the seconds dime per dime)
don't want to steal but if you gimme yours, I will give mine (let us combine, ooh ooh ooh ooh)
don't care for shiny presents (those will fade away)
I am not bound for heaven
I would love to stay
Would you mind if I linger with you?
(linger with you)

Dizzy

Help me baby
I think I'm drowning in your smile
I feel so dizzy
Oh my, what if I fall?
This is worse than alcohol
I suddenly feel ten feet tall
And I wonder why the sky's still blue, ooh
What can I do? Honey what can I do
(I'm) so in love with you
Your smile could make the stars fall from the sky
There's nothing left in this whole universe 'cept you and I
Sometimes I wonder if I'm gonna die
If I should ever lose you, would you lose me too?
Won't you stand by me baby
Cause I'm trembling deep inside
Oh I wanna look at your pretty face all the time
Even when I sleep
I'm an open book for you
and I hope you read me all the way through
I don't care how it ends just as long as we're together
I think I love you
Oh I love you forever
I wake up in the morning but I'm still asleep
I've been dreaming of you, all the day through
You're so wonderful, ooh, You-oohh
Your smile could make the stars fall from the sky
There's nothing left in this whole universe 'cept you and I
Sometimes I wonder if I'm gonna die
If I ever lose you, would you lose me too?
Your smile could make the stars fall one by one from the sky
There's nothing left in this whole universe 'cept you and I, you and I, you and I
Sometimes I wonder if I'm gonna die
If I ever lose you baby, would you lose me too

Skinny Dipping
02:43
|
|||
|
Lips move without a sound
the room seems to swirl around
the noose around my neck feels tight
it will feel so much better at night
Chasing thoughts that aren't there
is like throwing stones at the air
I love it when the sun shines bright
But I can see better at night
Quiet is the lake in your eyes
at night we don't need no disguise
there's no need to hide
when everything is dark outside
let's go skinny dipping in minds as bright as daylight
Morning sun highlights my age
still I feel far from being sage
I'm two steps left of being right
I guess it doesn't matter tonight
Slowly fade into black
it's so much fun to lose track
I love it when two stars collide
it's so much easier to see at night
Quiet is the lake in your eyes
at night we don't need no disguise
there's no need to hide
when everything is dark outside
let's go skinny dipping in minds as bright as daylight

All Across The Sky
02:58
|
|||
|
The meadow was green
No clouds to be seen
We played hide and seek on a lovely day
But birds wouldn't sing
While waiting for spring
The smile in your eyes just wilted away
Hush now
there's nothing that you need to say
I can feel the icy gale freezing my naked face
and these words you think are all across the sky
Goodbye
Your hand on my thigh
Virgin alibi
We danced in the snow till the music died
Hush now
there's nothing that you need to say
I can feel the icy gale freezing my naked face
and these words you think are all across the sky
Goodbye
(All across the sky)
(Goodbye)

Nothing But Mirrors
02:44
|
|||
|
The hands of the clock when it's later than it seems
The smile on my face when I wake up from my dreams
There's something in the air that dyes all my skies blue
It is you
The subtle melody when I try to speak
Work out so hard but still my knees are week
I swear I didn't put some blush on my cheeks
It is you
The world's a kaleidoscope
we're nothing but mirrors in different hues
but if I had to choose one of these filters
to pass a whole lifetime through
it makes such a lovely picture
when the one I add is you
The ripple in the water where the river bends
The tune that lingers when the movie ends
I get the feeling that they wrote this one for someone
and it's you
(such a lovely hue)
it is you
(so glad I met you)
it is you

Play With Me
02:38
|
|||
|
Swampy heat when the sun's at peak
sweaty skin tastes salty sweet
children laugh and the birds they sing
I'm waiting for you to push my swing
play with me (come out to play)
like a little child (play with me)
sometimes I'm being sweet (oh so sweet!)
sometimes I'm being wild (oh so wild!)
play with me (come out to play)
like a little child (play with me)
sometimes I wanna play sweet (oh so sweet!)
sometimes I wanna play wild (oh so wild!)
pa and the dog play hide and seek
on the roundabout boys turn the wheel
I'm sitting on the backseat of your tiny bike
cotton candy breeze take me for a ride
play with me (come out to play)
like a little child (play with me)
sometimes I'm being sweet (oh so sweet!)
sometimes I'm being wild (oh so wild!)
play with me (come out to play)
like a little child (play with me)
sometimes I wanna play sweet (oh so sweet!)
sometimes I wanna play wild (oh so wild!)

Ghost In Your Closet
02:37
|
|||
|
You make me use the back door
Cause your lady will be leaving through the front door soon
Mind the smell of me on the crumbled sheets
There's a ghost in your closet and it's me
Pour me some red wine
You can drink it from my lips, slowly rocking your hips
There'll be no holding hands on a crowded street
There's a ghost in your closet and it's me
Dressed in white
We were innocent then…
Now we know
Even though roads may be blocked you can't help but go
(Let it show
Like Bordeaux so red in the snow)
Dried stains
The ink on a paper that nobody reads
There'll be no rose petals on an apple tree
There's a ghost in your closet and it's me
Dressed in black
Time will sand all these years…
Until we won't know
Even the names of the flowers we used to sow
(Let it show
Like Bordeaux so red in the snow)

Déjà Vu
02:21
|

|
You want to take me places
Small dark café
I know just where my space is
I'm with the Tanqueray
Don't get me wrong
I really want you more each day
But I do love the view of your backside
when you go away
(too much noise in my head)
(too many words that you said)
We went to see a movie
Wasn't my idea
Images slipped right through me
The words weren't quite clear
Don't get me wrong
I really want you more each day
But I do love the view of your backside
when you go away
I wanna see you dance
Maybe in Paris, France?
Just not tonight, baby, please don't hold my hand
As long as skies are blue
I can be good to you
(now turn around for a nice deja vu)
You put your hand on my head
and leaned in for a kiss
I turned around instead
now all I do is reminisce
Don't get me wrong
I really want you more each day
But I do love the view of your backside
when you go away

Lip Service
02:22
|
|||
|
You fill my cup (release me)
Fill it all up (shoo wop shoo wop)
Till there's no frown (hey hey hey)
I'm about to drown
(Sweaty palms on a muggy day
Why don't you wash my sins away!)
Glory and grace (raise me up)
Light on your face (shoo wop shoo wop)
Walk down the aisle (on your knees and pray)
To make you smile
I swear this is no lip service
You really make me nervous
Closed eyes and open mouth
let me please ya
Till the bells chime in
and the angels sing
and the gates of heaven burst
with your love
Let me confess (for I have sinned)
my heart is stressed (shoo wop shoo wop)
Redeem my soul (let love reign)
and make me whole
I swear this is no lip service
You really make me nervous
Closed eyes and open mouth
let me please ya
Till the bells chime in
and the angels sing
and the gates of heaven burst
with your love
