Eye cream and thigh cream
how 'bout a get high cream? Nothing I do smoothes out the feelings of being used The Ballad of a Ladyman Freak that I am Live in Japan Let's rock with the tough girls in this part of the world Take a photograph Portrait of a Ladyman Are we holding on to our pride a bit too long Are we breaking on guitars Are we breaking you apart They say I've gone too far with the image I've got and they know I'd make a mint with new plastic skin and a hit on the radio! Oh, temptations of a ladyman I could be demure like girls who are soft for boys who are fearful of getting an earful but I gotta rock! I'd rather be a ladyman Are we holding on to our pride a bit too long Are we breaking on guitars Are we breaking you apart How many times will you decide how many lives will you define how much control should we give up of our lives (You sit at home with an alibi in case they call and ask you why all you do is go "ooh ahh ohh" you're out of control but saying "ooh ahh ooh") Are we holding on to our pride a bit too long Are we breaking on guitars Are we breaking you apart How many times will you decide how many lives will you define how much control should we give up of our lives (You sit at home with an alibi in case they call and ask you why all you do is go "ooh ahh ohh" you're out of control but saying "ooh ahh ooh") Ballad of a Ladyman |

You went down in the very first round
sitting ringside in a tiny town Knock out, knock out First round, first round When you call you will call the loudest When you fall you will fall the hardest This could be our very last stand The Monitor and the Merrimac too bad, too bad You're ironclad, ironclad When you call you will call the loudest When you fall you will fall the hardest Who do you love, who do you love, who do you love? What would you kill, what would you kill, what would you kill? to make a heart stand still, heart stand still, heart stand still? What would you pay, what would you pay, what would you pay? to make the hate go away, hate go away, hate go away? When you call you will call the loudest When you fall you will fall the hardest Why battle-cry, dry your eyes no one can hear you Once iron made heart or spade no one can steal you |

You can't get to heaven in a silver spoon
You can polish everything except for the mark on you, you Come be the first in line To shake the hand of mine Come be the first in line To shake the hand of (They call you out and up) All Hands on the Bad One, all Hands on the Bad One We would be no better, we would be no better All Hands on the Bad One, all Hands on the Bad One We would be no better, we would be no better You can't get to heaven in your Sunday best When the night before they were calling it your cocktail dress Come be the first in line To shake the hand of mine Come be the first in line To shake the hand of (They call you out and up) All Hands on the Bad One, all Hands on the Bad One We would be no better, we would be no better All Hands on the Bad One, all Hands on the Bad One We would be no better, we would be no better All Hands on the Bad One, all Hands on the Bad One We would be no better, we would be no better All Hands on the Bad One You can't get to heaven with a three chord song They called you a sinner but the people want to sing along |

Acid tooth
It's got nothing to do with you but if you wanna watch me chew my teeth are cutting you out Stomachache Well it must be in your head It must be something that I did Food just doesn't seem to work out Am I rotting out? Daddy says I got my mama's mouth I'm all about a forked tongue and a dirty house Mom has said yes this happened to me long ago But no one would believe me when I said: Close my mouth Was I born to accommodate I'm so good at playing dead words just don't seem to come out Should I eat something sweet instead wash away all those things we said 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 how many doctors will it take Oooh Oooh befoe I disintegrate |

You're no rock n' roll fun
Like a party that's over Before it's begun You're no walk in the park More like a shot in the dark With clues left for no one All the boys in the band Know how to get down Fill our Christmas socks With whiskey drinks and chocolate bars When the evening ends We won't be thinking of you then Although the best man Won't hang out with the girl band The girl band You're no rock n' roll fun Like a piece of art That no one can touch Your head's always up in the clouds Writing your songs Won't you ever come down? All the boys in the band Know how to get down Fill our Christmas socks With whiskey drinks and chocolate bars When the evening ends We won't be thinking of you then Even if your song Is playing on the jukebox The jukebox You wanna party with the lights on Come on I like the dark You always wanna hear the same old song Come on play another song Coz you're no rock n' roll fun Like a party that's over Before it's begun You're no walk in the park More like a shot in the dark With clues left for no one You're no rock n' roll fun (repeat x4) |

There is a sound
they don't want you to own Arrest every word that escapes from your throat They hand you the world's smallest microphone It's still too loud and you're asked to go home She can stay as long as she swears that when she breathes it will be her own air She'll state her case and take up space and that suffocates- The professional There is a sound that they want you to hear To drown out the voice that plays in your ear They hand you the world's biggest razor blade an amateur bleeds but she hardly gets paid She can stay as long as she swears that when she breathes it will be her own air She'll state her case and take up space and that suffocates- The professional You better watch what you, you better watch what you say, no way They're coming after you, they'll get in your head, your head, your head, head She can be mad but they'll let her know the scorched earth allows nothing to grow and she'll be blamed but feel no shame 'Cuz she'll have stopped- the professional |

He's got a perfect face
Turn away before you go and turn me on I cannot look away I'm stunned it's that Je ne sais quoi uh huh He talks to me in my sleep Does he write my songs for me? Should I try to play just like him? Kick it out, could you show me your riffs? You always measure me by him Don't get me wrong I'm not opposed to something big I'm so sick of tests Go ahead and flunk my ass You don't own the situation, honey You don't own the stage We're here to join the conversation and we're here to raise the stakes Now do you hear that sound as the Model breaks Take the stage! Let the image of him fade away Go back and tear the pictures from the page It's time for a new rock n' roll age History will have to find a different face and if you're ready for more I just might be what you're looking for You don't own the situation, honey You don't own the stage We're here to join the conversation and we're here to raise the stakes Now do you hear that sound as the Model breaks Take the stage! |

I wonder how you looked the day you were erased
To look down at your heart and watch it fade Did you disappear or were you just misplaced Left behind with no one else to blame It's all gone but something lingers on a place i used to call home Now me, you, and the ghost Looking for thing we lost Laughing at the way it was, Looking for the one we lost (are you letting go? Thinking clearer now that it's over There's no one to blame As we walk away Why is it I just feel so heavy What do I take away?) When you're in a room it's all that i can feel Get so used to loving what's not real There's nothing I can hold, No real tears to cry You can't breath life back into lie |

14 Rue de Savoy
that's where the flat was let We shacked up in Paris two days after we had met Eighteen bars of the sonata and you were mine This music gig doesn't pay that well but the fans are alright Darling come home I can't take the apartment alone You left your beret behind and your croissant is getting cold Visa, Mastercard, discovered that I was spent Took my heart, my best jeans, and left me with paying the rent A user, abuser, a loser but I didn't care I've always been a guy with a sweet tooth and that girl was just like a king-sized candy bar Pick up the phone Meet me at the Sorbonne You keep turning me on With those French words I can't pronounce Milkshake n' honey yeah Milkshake n' honey yeah Milkshake n' honey yeah Milkshake n' honey yeah Milkshake n' honey yeah Milkshake n' honey yeah Milkshake n' honey yeah Milkshake n' honey yeah Ma petite, comment ca va? |

And then one fine morning
she woke, she knew one long look at her life It was you (What you want you might never have Wait for it until it forms a scar) Come hell or high water Her heart was made No friend and no lover Will get in the way For six long years happiness spoke but then the time was up the spell was broke (Take your time, no hurry up Change your mind, go back to the start) She said that I have done to get my way What I have done to get this day Fortune weary love Fortune weary love Baby don't you dare give up on me now Baby don't you dare give up on me now You're gonna find out You're gonna get low It's gonna darken your soul You're gonna find out You're gonna get low It's gonna darken your soul You're gonna fall down You're gonna grow old It's gonna darken your soul Fortune weary love Fortune weary love Baby don't you dare give up on me now Baby don't you dare give up on me now |

The swimmer is so far from the distant shore
The only time she never feels alone On the land her body distorts In the water lines are true to her mind I can hardly see you now Are you getting closer and Do you know you're the one? They will never understand How washed up you feel on land The spot light of the sun, it shines on The Swimmer knows she'll never touch the floor She can float unharmed by murky wars And the land is as plain as her skin But the water shines like the star in her mind I can hardly see you now Are you getting closer and Do you know you're the one? They will never understand How washed up you feel on land The spot light of the sun, it shines on |
