Tender is my name
04:12
|
|||
|
No man is no island
The ocean is ahead of me
Though no man is no island I'm not a man, I'm an island
I'll be tender with you
I used to be taller
I used to be slick
I used to be a talker
Now you're the broom and I am the stick

God gave rocknroll to me
Now I give it to you
Jesus, what is a man to do with a girl like you?
Now I give you freedom
I gave you my heart, now I want it back
And mine are shoulders to lean on
but they are not concrete
And now, I'm feeling broke down
But am I lonely?
No

Damn, I love you
02:58
|
|||
|
Oo, you sweet talk
Whisper in my ear
Say the words I like to hear
Mm, undress now
Slow but not too slow
I´m eager, don't you know?
Damn, I love you
I really love you
Yes, I do
When the day breaks and your future meets my past
I'll be the king of expectation at last

Years ago
04:06
|
|||
|
Years ago somebody told me so
That what you reap you have sown
Must have been years ago somebody told me so
You were made by a mother
I was made by another
Even though we might disagree, we could be brothers
I depend on my mother
You pretend it's another
And even though we might disagree, we could be brothers

I give you music - you give me head
Achy breaky the charts could never go wrong
Achy breaky my heart

Dr Helpless
03:01
|
|||
|
Man, the fruit of a vine
That tree is divine - my Dr Helpless
Me, I'm just a child
Not so divine as my Dr Helpless
Oo, we're riding the breeze
of the birds and the bees
My Dr Helpless
Child, of woman you're born
but beaten and torn
Please Dr Helpless
Riding on the wind of Hollywood
Flying high on the wings of Hollywood
The man show you your eyes
The skill of the mind
My Dr Helpless

I want you
01:58
|
|||
|
You know what life's about
Good looks and a stretched mouth
These things I came without
I want you
Sentences I hear you say
Chapters come and go away
You talk like wounded prey
I want you
You carry all that load
Thinking the world is you alone
I know why you always moan
I want you
The lack of strength within
And those rememberings
Some people always win
I want you

(I'm on) the highway
02:33
|
|||
|
If you like to walk, you're walking to slow
This might be a good time letting you know
I'm on the highway
I'm not a dancer and I don't like to dance
I'm a lover and this is your chance
Step on the highway
Well, I'm meaning well and you will be home for christmas
Jump aboard and let the wind wipe that tear away
We're getting along
I'm on the highway and you isn't

Perfect fool
02:09
|
|||
|
A time to remember
A time to forget
A time to be a friend
A time to regret
When nobody dance
And nobody listens
Nobody gives a damn about what they're missing
Now here is a clue
Here is a lead
I'm the perfect fool for you
First things first
Then I'll be the angel
Is it me that you see when you're lost in a dream, little stranger
|

11. |
In a new form
01:47
|
|||
|
Back in a new form
Sharp shaped as a uniform
Say you love me even more
I'm back in colour
Handsome as a a dollar
Say you love even more

In the meantime
02:36

I'm so tired of the game
Depression is its middle name
I'm so tired of the game
It always seems to be the same
I'm so tired of the game
I feel I'm always getting framed
Oo, the blue skies used to be blue
Now every cloud looks like you
In the meantime I'm growing old
In the meantime I slip what I should hold
And it makes me so tired of the game
To keep my heart in a coat of mail
I never exaggerate or give away
How come I always sing her name?

Boogie boy

Boogie boy
There goes a lonely child
Kind of strange but so is I
And we both don't know why
Boogie boy
He walks a certain
way
Seems to have no goal today
Yet tomorrow
Tomorrow can wait
Riddles and fences overflewn
Maybe he's taller than we knew
All the little things just pass him by
And he don't know why
Is he one to praise or sent to fake
Give away to all what he can take
He's kind of strange but so is I
And I don't know why
Boogie boy
Is he a fruit or vine
Man, is he an open shrine that we just don't define
Always land on at least one feet
Dancing through the streets
He's given up what we take for granted
Him to eager for final sin
On a suitcase he's balancing
And take for granted what we've given up

Angels
03:24
|

|
If I lose my faith
I'll go with angels
I'll go where the angels go
And where do the angels go
Maybe to a stranger they go
I don't know
If I fall asleep
Somebody will wake me
A stranger will awake me
For when the angels go
They're walking through the ages
And they could walk for ages or more
And more than anything now I want to be saved
What if I died and fell down today?
I'm losing you
If I go along
But this dream could be the answer if there's another shore
Believe
So if I lose my faith
I'll go with a stranger
Maybe he's an angel like you
