In the middle of the road,
Is trying to find me. I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me.But, I got a smile For everyone I meet. Long as you don't try dragging my bay, Or dropping a bomb on the street.Come on baby, Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road, yeah.In the middle of the road, You see the darnest things. Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city, Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits. Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and Man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery. But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world, The babies just come with the scenery.Come on baby, Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road, yeah.One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.In the middle of the road, Is my private cul de sac. I can't get from the cab to the curb, Without some little jerk on my back, Don't harass me kid, Can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell, I'm not the cat I used to be, I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby. Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road |

I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
You had hijacked my world at night To a place in the past we've been passed out of, o-o-oh, o-o-oh Now we're back in the fight We're back on the train, yeah O-oh, back on the chain gang Circumstance beyond our control, o-o-oh, o-o-oh The phone, TV and the news of the world Got in the house like a pigeon from Hell, o-o-oh, o-o-oh Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies And put us back on the train, yeah O-oh, back on the chain gang The powers that be That force us to live like we do Bring me to my knees When I see what they've done to you Well, I'll die as I stand here today Knowing that deep in my heart They'll fall to ruin one day For making us part I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh Those were the happiest days of my life Like a break in the battle was your part, o-o-oh, o-o-oh In the wretched life of a lonely heart Now I'm back on the train, yeah O-oh, back on the chain gang |

Nobody's perfect
Not even a perfect stranger But oh what a gal She was such a perfect stranger And you're the best in your field In your office with your girls And desk and leather chair Thought that time was on your side But now it's time the avenger Nobody's permanent Everything's on loan here Even your wife and kids Could be gone next year And with what you have left You'll be forever under pressure To support her And a lover who looks strangely Like time the avenger Time, time, hear the bells chime Over the harbor and the city Time, one more vodka and lime To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick Nobody's perfect Not even a perfect gent When your property took the a train I wonder where your manners went You were standing at the station In your briefcase Was your aftershave and underwear Can you hear the whistle blow? Sounds like time the avenger Time, time, hear the bells chime Over the harbor and the city Time to kill another bottle of wine To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick |

Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it They say, "Hey, you can't live without it" Welcome to the human race With its wars, disease and brutality You with your innocence and grace Restore some pride and dignity To a world in decline Welcome to a special place In a heart of stone that's cold and gray You with your angel face Keep the despair at bay Send it away, and Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it I don't want to live without it I don't want to live without it Oh, I want love I want love I want love Welcome here from outer space The Milky Way is still in your eyes You found yourself a hopeless case One that's seeking perfection on earth That's some kind of rebirth, so Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it Don't make me live without it Oh, love I want love I want Love I want love |

Hush little baby, don't you cry
When we get to tucson you'll see why We left the snowstorms and the thunder and rain For the desert sun, we're gonna be born again What's important in this world A little boy, a little girl Hush little darling, go to sleep Look out the window and count the sheep That dot the hillsides and the fields of wheat Across america as we cross america What's important here today The broken line on the highway All the love in the world for you, girl Thumbelina in a great big scary world All the love in the world for you, girl Take my hand and we'll make it through this world Hush little baby, my poor little thing You've been shuffled about like a pawned wedding ring It must seem strange, love was here then gone And the oklahoma sunrise becomes the amarillo dawn What's important in this life Ask the man who's lost his wife |

It's a thin line between love and hate
It's a thin line between love and hate It's five o'clock in the morning And you're just getting in You knock on the front door And a voice sweet and low says Who is it? She opens up the door and lets you in Never once asks where have you been She says are you hungry? Did you eat yet? Let me hang up your coat Pass me your hat All the time she's smiling Never once raises her voice It's five o'clock in the morning You don't give it a second thought It's a thin line between love and hate [2x] The sweetest woman in the world Could be the meanest woman in the world If you make her that way You keep hurting her She'll keep being quiet She might be holding something inside That'll really, really hurt you one day I see her in the hospital Bandaged from foot to head In a state of shock Just that much from being dead You couldn't believe the girl Would do something like this, ha You didn't think the girl had the nerve But here you are I guess action speaks louder than words It's a thin line between love and hate [2x] |

So many letters that I never send I think about you at the day's end The time that we had I laughed in my bed The stupid things you said We were two birds of paradise When I was a little girl With clay horses and lambs on the shelf I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves My friends and I had a world unto ourselves No grownups could find us when we Made our plans so secretly To run away and fly to be With the two birds of paradise Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders Back in the room the things I remember One time when we took off our clothes But you were cryin', cryin' You said nothing lasts forever We were happy together I thought about you in stockholm and rome Me in my hotel room You in your home This is the life they say that Dreams are made of Don't forget Please do forgive me I still have something you did give me Come into my dream with me and dream Please don't forget Do forgive me I still have something you did give me Come into my dream with me and dream Oh dream of paradise |

I went out on the balcony in the middle of the night
The hotel was dark except for just one light Television burning in the other room I couldn't sleep so i put on some of your Hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony and looked across the way Some guy was shadow boxing, he looked like sugar ray I was feeling dizzy - began to swoon Was it his punch or was it just your Hollywood perfume? I feel like a fugitive escaped from my life Seeking refuge in the sensual heat These paper-thin walls make me party to calls Of love wafting through the room The night jasmine bloom Of your hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony to clear my head I was burning up in my queen-sized bed Down on the strip beneath the billboard moon Teenaged girls look for love in the Neon sex and doom Of your hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony with your photograph I dropped it in the pool and that made me laugh You like your tan but you don't like to swim Meanwhile i feel like i'm drowning in Neon sex and doom The night jasmine bloom Of your hollywood perfume |

I'll come in your car to talk business,
No business, no money talk. Zero in on my full of intentions, I think you got it because you pulled up and stopped. If money is the root of all evil, I'm begging at the feet of the devil. Talk to me please, Money talk to me. Twenty gets you straight, Forty gets you other, Think of what a hundred could do. I've been gifted with the thing that you want, Who's better than who? Never underestimate a woman like me, The kids have got to eat, And man, that's reality, you see. Money talk to me. You're so deluded, You think that I'm real. You pass your hormones off as love, For five minutes you feel. You can buy a squeegy little silicone sack, But it won't feed the world like the ones that I pack naturally. Money talk to me. |

In Some Hotel Without My Set Of Keys Coming To, Remembering The Way Your Turned Me Out When I Was On My Knees You Think That Was One Up For You But I Know I Scored Something Too When I See The Way You Have To Struggle Just To Do A Little Simple Thing I Feel Apologetic Just Because I'm Not Particularly Suffering So I Let You Take Me Down I'm Like Your Rent-A-Clown When I Saw My Baby Cry I Knew That He Loved Me That Was Some Great Victory He Cried Because Of Me He Hit Me With His Belt But His Tears Were All I Felt When I Saw My Baby Cry I Knew He Loved Me When You Try And Cut Me Down And Push Me Back If I Attack Your Attitude I Rise Up To The Challenge 'cause I Like To Taste The Sugar Of Your Violent Mood Just Like A Stormy Sea You're Natural Poetry To Me When I Saw My Baby Cry I Knew That He Loved Me That Was Some Great Victory He Cried Because Of Me He Hit Me With His Belt But His Tears Were All I Felt When I Saw My Baby Cry I Knew He Loved Me I Knew He Loved Me |

Cats like me and you
Have got laws That they adhere to Laws outside the laws As laid down By those we don't subscribe to The world is getting stranger But we'll never lose heart We can't just wait for the Old guard to die Before we can Make a new start Bring on the revolution (keep the pressure on) I wanna die for something Bring on the revolution I wanna die for something Bring on the revolution I wanna die for something Bring on the revolution I don't wanna die for nothing For every freedom fighter I wanna hold on tighter To the hope and will you gave You were the brave You were the brave And one day When i hear your children sing Freedom will ring Freedom! When we watch the children play Remember How the privileged classes grew And from this day We set out To undo what won't undo Looking for the grand In the minute Every breath justifies Every step that we take To remove what the powers that be Can't prove And the children will Understand why Bring on the revolution (keep the pressure on) I wanna die for something Bring on the revolution I wanna die for something Bring on the revolution I don't wanna die for nothing Bring on the revolution I wanna die for something |

I was born with my hand in a fist
And my eyes shut tight Any wonder that I cannot resist Punchin' blindly in a fight The first time I saw swans flyin' to the sun I wanted to be one Like every mother's son When I saw my life had begun I wanted to be someone Like my brother and my one and only father And like every mother's son I was raised within a cause With a purpose to fulfill I was taught to defend what was mine And instructed not to kill My small mortal eyes can see eternity In the clouds that dissolve and then regroup endlessly Like every mother's son When a man showed me how to use a gun I wished I'd never need one Like my brother and my one and only father And like every mother's son Everything in domesticity Assumes it's role better than me I'm a displaced person whose culture let me down I raise my own daughters in a pornographic town Like every mother's son I've lost some and some I've won Now I'm waiting for a new dawn Like my brother and my one and only father And like every mother's son |

Anger and lust my senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck? When my tongue lay inside his lip Felt like the time in the womb But I woke up with a headache that split my skull Alone in the room I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh I said baby, oh sweetheart Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile I remember the way he groaned and moved with an animal skill I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest It was all very run of the mill But I noticed his scent started to change somehow His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow I said baby, oh sweetheart Bondage to lust, abuse of facility Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee I was sure his intentions were sweet And that mine was as well But a wish is a shot in the dark When your coin's down the well I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head Up to my neck and I said, said, said dead I said baby, oh sweetheart |

I dream you are there with me Though you are far away I know you'll always be near to me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I look around me And feel you are ever so close to me Each tear that flows from my eye Brings back memories of you to me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I was wrong, I will cry I will love you till the day I die You were all, you alone and no one else You were meant for me When morning comes again I have the loneliness you left me Each day drags by Until finally my time descends on me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me |

You'll get, get, gettin' what you don't need Stand back, take a look and take heed All the children in god's kingdom bleed See the networks of concrete and steel They've no mystery but what they reveal Tells a story of a future that's void Of the beauty and the majesty that life on Earth is meant to be Talk, talk, talk, talk about the government And not a word about political favour Everything touched is my political choice The life you take is your political voice The sacred cows come crashing to their knees Golden harvest reaped without intelligence There's no chance between the heavens and the seas In a blood bath don't laugh Grab your piece of golden calf Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not Do unto others as you wish be done to you There's a million lies 'round everything true You slaughter when you feast You disrespect the beast Make our beds and lie there, take your share Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Pick it up and eat it Waste not want not |

Anger and lust my senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck? When my tongue lay inside his lip Felt like the time in the womb But I woke up with a headache that split my skull Alone in the room I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh I said baby, oh sweetheart Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile I remember the way he groaned and moved with an animal skill I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest It was all very run of the mill But I noticed his scent started to change somehow His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow I said baby, oh sweetheart Bondage to lust, abuse of facility Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee I was sure his intentions were sweet And that mine was as well But a wish is a shot in the dark When your coin's down the well I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head Up to my neck and I said, said, said dead I said baby, oh sweetheart |
