INNER CITY BLUES
(M. Gaye - J. Nyx) MINDLESS MOONSHOTS, SPEND IT ON THE HAVE-NOTS, MONEY, WE MAKE IT, BEFORE WE SEE IT YOU TAKE IT. OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, THIS AIN´T LIVING. THIS AIN´T LIVING. INFLATION, NO CHANCE TO INCREASE FINANCE, BILLS PILE UP, SKY HIGH. SEND THAT BOY OFF, TO DIE. OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, THIS AIN´T LIVING. HANG UP, AND LET DOWNS. BAD BREAKS, SET BACKS. NATURAL FACT IS, OH HONEY THAT I CAN´T PAY MY TAXES. OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, AND THROW UP BOTH MY HANDS. OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, AND THROW UP BOTH MY HANDS. CRIME IS INCREASING, TRIGGER HAPPY POLICING, PANIC, IS SPREADING, GOD KNOWS WHERE WE´RE HEADING OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, AND THROW UP BOTH MY HANDS. OH, MAKE ME WANNA HOLLA, THE WAY THEY DO MY LIFE, THIS AIN´T LIVING. (RAP:) I´VE BEEN WORKING ALL NIGHT, AND I´VE BEEN WORKING ALL WEEK, AND I DON´T KNOW HOW I´M GONNA MAKE ENDS MEET. BUT THE PEOPLE I MEET ON THESE LONDON STREETS, THEY SAY YOU GOTTA GET HIP WITH A BRAND NEW BEAT. IT´S A MOONSHINE, IT´S A HARD TIME, IT´S A RHYTHM IN RESISTANCE, WITH A STORY LINE, OF A BETTER TIME, THAT´S COMING SOON, IF YOU FACE THE FACT, THAT YOU´VE GOTTA FIGHT BACK, WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE, AND A HOPE IN YOUR SOUL, IT´S THE INNER CITY BLUES. |

There ain't no such thing
As a free lunch my friend, You've always got to pay, When they stand there In your way. And there ain't no such thing As a rich man's charity, You've got to understand, When he gives That helping hand, That there ain't no such thing As a cut price ambition. It's sweet nothing, You're left with Nothing at all. There's no easy road To a new life my friend, Sometimes you face the pain, Pick yourself up, start again. But the love that you find In the darkness of the night, You can take it in your arms, Feel it in your heart. If you hold it and trust it, It'll cost you the price of Sweet nothing. Sweet nothing. You're left with nothing Gotta find a friend, With you to the end, More than just a trend, That won't leave you On the shelf. Gotta realise, What you've got inside, Better than a lie, Help you have faith In yourself. Living on the line, Gotta grab the time, Now that you will find, It's more than Fame and wealth. And hoping and loving Can cost you the price of Sweet nothing. Boy, have faith in yourself, Boy, believe in yourself, Don't let them take Your freedom, It's with you till the end. Believe in yourself. |

WHO´S FOOLING WHO? (lyrics: L. Stabbins, S. Booth) (music: L. Stabbins) HOLD STEADY ON A SOUL JAZZ GROOVE, HOLD STEADY, THAT´S WHAT YOU DO. HOLD STEADY ON A SOUL JAZZ GROOVE, HOLD STEADY, THAT´S WHAT YOU DO. HER EYES HAVE A FIRE, THAT WOULD BURN EVERYONE IN SIGHT, A LOVE OF LIFE SO INTENSE, IT´LL SET YOUR SOUL ALIGHT. SHE FEELS THE MUSIC THAT RUNS THE TEST OF TIME. SHE´S A DANCER AND A MOVER OF A VERY SPECIAL KIND. I CAN SEE HER EFFECT ON YOU, BUT I CAN´T TELL YOU WHAT´S THE BEST THING TO DO. SHE WALKS INTO A CLUB, CASTS HER SPELL AROUND. HER SOUL CONNECTS LIKE YOU CAN´T UNDERSTAND. WHO´S FOOLING, WHO´S FOOLING, WHO´S FOOLING, WHO´S FOOLING WHO? SHE MOVES IN A WORLD FULL OF WARMTH OF THE SHARPER KIND, WITH NOTHING TO LOSE, SHE´LL PLAY AS HARD AS YOU CHOOSE TO KNOW. THE SOUND OF HER VOICE ON THE PHONE, BRINGS A CHANGE IN YOU. THAT SECRET SMILE ON HER LIPS MEANS A CHANGE IN A VIEW. THE GIRL´S SENSE OF TIMING, DANCE YOU OFF THE FLOOR. SHE´S SMARTER THAN YOU THINK, THAT YOU CAN´T IGNORE. THE FIRE IN HER EYES, CUT THROUGH YOUR LIES, NO NEED TO HIDE, SHE´LL JUST TAKE OFF AND FLY. WHO´S FOOLING, WHO´S FOOLING, WHO´S FOOLING, WHO´S FOOLING WHO? HOLD STEADY ON A SOUL JAZZ GROOVE, HOLD STEADY, THAT´S WHAT YOU DO. SHE KNOWS ALL ABOUT MURPHY´S LAW ON A MONDAY NIGHT. CHARLOTTE STREET´S ALWAYS JUMPING WHEN FRIDAY COMES AROUND. THE AUTUMN BOYS HAVE GOT FASTER FEET, WHEN IT COMES TO A LATIN TUNE, BUT SHE LIKES HER BEAT ROCK-STEADY WITH A SOUL - JAZZ GROOVE. IT´S AN ALL-NIGHT BUS THAT YOU´VE MISSED AGAIN. IT´S A WALK HOME LATE IN THE POURING RAIN. IT´S A HEARTFELT BEAT THAT´LL TURN YOU AROUND. LISTEN BOY, YOU´VE NEVER HOLD HER DOWN. WHO´S FOOLING, WHO´S FOOLING, WHO´S FOOLING, WHO´S FOOLING WHO? -- |

THOUGHT I´D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN (lyrics: Stabbins/Booth) (music: Stabbins) HOT NIGHTS TURN THE LIVING UP LOUD, BUT NOW THE PARTY´S OVER. SUMMER DAYS DRINKING WINE IN THE SUN, THEN YOU HAD TO GO. I THOUGHT I´D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN, I THOUGHT I´D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN. SHARPEST PLEASURE BRINGS THE SWEETEST OF PAIN, YOU CAST ME INTO SHADOW, LONGER NIGHTS AND THE SITTING ALONE, WONDERING WHERE CAN YOU BE. I THOUGHT I´D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN, I THOUGHT I´D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS OVER, I THOUGHT IT WAS TO GOOD TO LAST. I THOUGHT I´D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN. YOU´RE MY LOVER, YOU´RE MY BEST FRIEND TOO. WITH THE PASSING OF TIME, I´M GETTING CLOSER TO YOU. YOU´RE MY LOVER, YOU´RE MY BEST FRIEND TOO. WITH THE PASSING OF TIME, I´M GETTING CLOSER TO YOU. EYES CLOSED AT THE END OF THE DAY, I NEED YOU´RE BODY NEXT TO MINE, NOW I KNOW WE´LL BE TOGETHER AGAIN I´M WAITING FOR YOUR CALL. I THOUGHT I´D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN, I THOUGHT I´D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN. HOT NIGHTS TURN THE LIVING UP LOUD, [THAT´S WHAT YOU ARE TO ME] SUMMER DAYS DRINKING WINE IN THE SUN, [THAT´S WHAT YOU ARE TO ME] WHITE SANDS, SCENT OF PINE IN THE SUN [THAT´S WHAT YOU ARE TO ME] BLUE WATER MEETING ENDLESS SKIES [THAT´S WHAT YOU ARE TO ME] SWIFTS CALLING IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY, [THAT´S WHAT YOU ARE TO ME] YOU´RE MY LOVER SWALLOWS HUNTING IN THE EVENING HAZE, [THAT´S WHAT YOU ARE TO ME] YOU´RE MY LOVER FULL MOON ON A ENDLESS SEA, [THAT´S WHAT YOU ARE TO ME] YOU´RE MY LOVER JOBBING SINGING ALL NIGHT AND ALL DAY. [THAT´S WHAT YOU ARE TO ME] YOU´RE MY LOVER HOT NIGHTS WITH NO SLEEP BEFORE DAWN, [THAT´S WHAT YOU ARE TO ME] YOU´RE MY LOVER! -- |

AUTUMN BOY (lyrics and music: Stabbins/Booth) AUTUMN BOY STANDING IN THE SUNDAY RAIN, CLIMBS A HILL, WATCHES STARLINGS FLYING HOME AGAIN. AUTUMN BOY GOT WINTER IN HIS EYES, BUT THERE´S LOVE UNDERNEATH THAT COLD BLUE SKY. WATCH THAT BOY, ´CAUSE HE´S BURNING UP INSIDE, HE´S SEEN HIS TOWN FADE AWAY AND SLOWLY DIE. ONCE THAT BOY TRIED TO HITCH A RIDE, LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND, FORGET THE PAIN INSIDE. IT´S NOT THAT HE´S GROWING OLD, OR FEELING THE CHANGE, HE WANTS TO KICK IT ALL DOWN, AND BUILD IT UP AGAIN. (Instrumental) HE LOOKS AT HIS FATHERS´S HANDS, ALL DUSTY AND GREY, HE LOOKS AT HIS MOTHER´S EYES THAT HIDE FROM THE DAY. AUTUMN BOY… (instrumental) AUTUMN BOY WANTS TO READ EVERY BOOK IN SIGHT WANTS TO RUN SO FAST, WANTS TO TOUCH EVERY SHAFT OF LIGHT. AUTUMN BOY IS NOBODY´S FOOL, BECAUSE WHEN WINTER COMES THAT BOY WILL STILL LOVE YOU. -- |

SOLO (lyrics: Stabbins/Booth) (music: Stabbins) THE STRONGEST FEELINGS RUN THROUGH LONELIER HOURS, FALLING FROM LOST TOWERS. A SWEETER TRUTH TURNS ON THE STRANGER OF POWERS, COMING AFTER HOURS. HE´S CALLING HER NAME, BUT SHE CAN´T HEAR A THING. THERE IS A VOICE INSIDE, SO CLEAR AS IT RINGS OUT: TRUST IT SOLO, TAKE IT SOLO, MAKE IT SOLO. SHE LIVES A LIFE THAT IS SO HARD TO COMPLETE, SINGING THROUGH THE END, A SUN-BURST CHILD, CAUGHT IN A FRAGMENT OF FLAME, NEVER PLAYED THE GAME. THE DRUMMER´S RIDING AND THE SAXOPHONE´S SOARING RHYTHM CANDESCENT, KEEPS ON FALLING AROUND HER: SHE SWINGS IT SOLO, SHE FEELS IT SOLO. (INSTRUMENTAL) SHE´S STRONGER THAN YOU´VE EVER FOUND, SHE´S HAD ENOUGH MESSING AROUND. SHE PACKS HER BAGS BEFORE SHE TRAVELS BY NIGHT, CAT´S EYES GIVE HER SIGHT. SHE TELLS OF STRANGE FRUIT ON THE WATER FRONT. LOVER COME BACK TO ME. SHE´S BATHED IN FLOODLIGHT ON THE STAGE OF CONVENTION. THE PUBLIC GAZE HOLDS OFF THE DEVILS INSIDE. AS SHE TAKES THEM SOLO THEY FEEL IT SO SLOW. -- |
