Well the room was pink and the signs were serious
Paperback dolls being slammed delirious Feeling like a joke in the bar underneath And it was Saturday night in the year of the good thief Well I tumbled up the stairs the wrong way round I hit my head on the ceiling when my feet hit the ground And then the big dumb blonde in the gold fish bowl cried Ella's in the band but she's got no soul My friend John was a serious one Buttoned up the back and a job half done Lazy old boy when the good girls turn His teeth get itchy and his rubber souls burn When will he ever learn? Well the night was spent and my money was young And then I had to get home before my neck was wrung And everybody danced in the same old way And if I'm feeling old and desperate I'll be back some day My friend John was a serious one Buttoned up the back and a job half done Lazy old boy when the good girls turn His teeth get itchy and his rubber souls burn When will he ever learn? |

Pull me up a chair and keep your money
There's no guarantees Wont you please forgive me But you know cold blooded women make me sneeze And I'll kick you out the door If for just one minute you lie And they'll come crashing though the wall And leave you crawling till the minute you die Pour yourself a drink or three And maybe we'll think clearer for a while You may be an embarrassment But I love the way your clothes are never in style Living's much too easy And dying would be some kind of bore Well you swear that you're original But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before So steal the watch from off my wrist Oh and shake me by the hand We could disappear for days And they wouldn't understand Gypsy blood will get you far And they will not miss you when you go Tear another hole in my brown shoes And we can all sleep for a while Well I told you once before I love your braces and your hesitant smile But please don't get me wrong it's only right That you can stamp on my heart Well I've seen you and your friend some place You know I just can tell you apart And though they'll hunt you like a dog They wont take you alive Coz you've made them piles of money Stacked up twenty stories high And the boys in every bar They will not miss you when you go So steal the watch from off my wrist Oh and shake me by the hand We could disappear for days And they wouldn't understand Gypsy blood will get you far Though it's far away from me Look me up when you get home And maybe then we'll see Well they'll hunt you like a dog But they wont take you alive Coz you made them piles of money Stacked up twenty stories high And the boys in every bar Well they'll miss you when you're gone You can tell a heady tale And we'll both keep screaming on la la..... |

Well there's nothing more to add before I leave
This thing of ours is dead but don't you grieve Is it me or are they younger every night? Just because they can it doesn't make it all right I'm hangin by my teeth, waiting on quick relief While the kids don't sleep for days I could die in a hundred odd ways And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried Well it terrifies the life from out of me It's really such a lazy way to be Hiding in the bedroom, climbing up the walls You've got to kick it out of me gently Till it begs and pleads and crawls And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried And I'm so sick of hearing how your love for this has died But don't tell me you could do it if you tried It's a shame or a sham he's half as old as I am But don't tell me he could look good if he tried And wont you make sure my mother gets half my weight in gold Tell her I just did what I was told Grab your expensive coat and bury it inside But don't tell me you could do it if you tried |

Well look out sunshine here they go
They've got yesterdays heroes in last nights clothes You're a game old boy judging by the way you walk Well there's no use telling me to leave I've seen a half a dozen ghosts but I don't believe I'm a cynical cunt and I'm much too lazy to change And tell my friends I'll be around Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah And sing that old song, how does it go? Look out Sunshine here's the punch line No one gets you any more Well look out Sunshine here they come But they only play for money, you better not run It's the sell out show that no one wants to go to, yeah Well there's none so blind as them that don't agree They steal the money from your pockets almost viciously You're a sane old boy and you're much to crazy to change And tell my friends I'll be around Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah And sing that old song how does it go? Look out Sunshine here's the punch line No one gets you any more And what do you mean You were born to love this scene And they would string you up gladly If they knew just how lazy you'd been And tell my friends I'll be around Getting nowhere, sleeping somewhere With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah And sing that old song how does it go? Look out Sunshine here's the punch line No one gets you any No one needs you any No one gets you any more |

She can't help it, the girl can't help it
You can find her scratching around in the dark Just another candle chasing a spark You can find her screaming along with the ghosts Reminds you she's the one you needed the most And then you're out there on your own again No one believes you when you lie I still see all the old girls now and then Catching the moonlight as they cry She can't help it, the girl can't help it.... The wrong way round's the right way up when she calls And can laugh but it won't mean nothing at all Yes you can find her scratching away in her room Stumblin' round by the light of the stragglers moon And then you're out there digging holes again Six million people can't be wrong Some day you'll buy the perfect soul and then you can get back where you belong And then you're out there on your own again No one believes you when you lie I still see all the old girls now and then catching the moonlight when they cry |

Babydoll,
Do you believe they'll catch you when you fall? And when morning comes The sun is gonna shine Don't forget your minor key's Your half lit cigarette Cause when morning comes God knows that you'll be mine So let me in I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins Not leave it to chance And sweet coincidence Well that's just crazy And you know it's true Well they said you was long gone I just laughed and said alright Bring her home tonight And I heard you was graciously put on I just laughed and said good night Guess it's alright Babydoll, The men who hang like flowers in you're hall Are asking when you're love is gonna show And who knows why The love you need will always pass you by Well I heard it's true You're love is gonna grow So let me know Cause I can stay or honey I can go Just to wherever you tell me so And find my place there and there I'll stay Well they said you was burned out I just laughed and said come on She's not burned she's just gone And it took me too long till I found out Faces that you know the best Oh well I guess And they laughed when you said you was leaving Everybody knows you well Cept for me, can't you tell And you watched from the wings of the late show Roses by you're feet, of red All for me you said Babydoll |

Well once I was peruaded to open up my head I told them how it was and went and got it wrong instead I said would you believe me if you only knew I'd been stealing everything this conversations through And the boy cried hang him at three I saw him on the front page laughing at me He worked in a fairground in a tall hat He's a liar he's a liar and a good one at that Say what you want to say what you will Write your number on my telephone bill Walk like a monkey kick like a mule I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel So I told them all I could about what could they expect But I lost my sense of smell and I gained myself respect They told me I was curious I told them they were slow They asked me were I get this stuff I told them I don't know And the boy cried whoopy de dee There's a woman with a mustache who won't let me be Though she was born on a monday She's a hundred and four She's a liar she's a liar and a little bit more Say what you want to say what you will Write your number on my telephone bill Walk like a monkey kick like a mule I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel And the boy cried hang him at three I saw him on the front page laughing at me He worked in a fairground in a tall hat He's a liar he's a liar and a good one at that Say what you want to say what you will Write your number on my telephone bill Walk like a monkey kick like a mule I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel |

to moonn6pence from shootingstar(papayeverte)
Tell me where you been to Point me to the door I've seen you around But I really can't be sure If all the action men are busy Climbing up the wall Banging on the window Tearing down the hall And the last chance girl In her first dance swirl Lays her head down on the wooden floor Won't be dancing any more And where do they go when the thrills have gone The last song plays down in Babylon Five hundred kids shout "what's the deal?" It's a very confusing way to feel The radio is silent Except for wicked bands Sounded like the last one Always in demand And now the city is off limits To everyone in blue Nothing's getting in there No-one's getting through And it's no surprise When the last guy dies And the girl upon the wooden floor Won't be dancing any more And where do they go when the thrills have gone The last song plays down in Babylon Five hundred kids shout "what's the deal?" It's a very confusing way to feel 김태홍님께... |
