Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise

Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice

With a step to your left and a flick to the right

You catch the mirror way out west

You know you're something special and you look like you're the best.

 

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

And when she shines she really shows you all she can

Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV

Two of a billion stars, it means so much to me -

Like a birthday or a pretty view

But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you.

 

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

And when she shines she really shows you all she can

Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

(bridge)

 

Hey now (woooo), look at that.

Did he nearly run you down?

At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive,

You make me feel alive, alive, alive

I'll take my chance, 'cause luck is on my side

Or something, I know what you're thinking

I tell you something, I know what you're thinking

 

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Just like that river twists across the dusty land

And when she shines she really shows you all she can

Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande

 

Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand

And I might find her if I'm looking like I can

Oh Rio Rio hear them shout across the land

From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

If I were to say to you

 

"Can you keep a secret?"

 

Would you know just what to do

 

Or where to keep it?

 

Then I say"I love you"

 

And foul the situation

 

"Hey girl I thought we were

 

The right combination".

 

 

 

Who broke my heart?

 

You did, you did

 

Bow to the target,

 

Blame Cupid, Cupid

 

You think you're smart

 

Stupid, Stupid.

 

 

 

_ chorus:

 

 

 

Shoot that poison arrow through my heart

 

Shoot that poison arrow

 

Shoot that poison arrow through my heart

 

Shoot that poison arrow

 

 

 

No rhythm in cymbals

 

No tempo in drums

 

Love on arrival

 

She comes when she comes

 

Right on the target

 

But wide of the mark

 

What I thought was fire

 

Was only the spark

 

The sweetest melody

 

Is an unheard refrain

 

So lower your sights,

 

Yeah but raise your aim

 

Raise your aim

 

 

 

Who broke my heart?

 

You did, you did

 

Bow to the target

 

Blame Cupid, Cupid

 

You think you're smart

 

Stupid, Stupid

 

 

 

_ chorus

 

 

 

I thought you loved me but it seems you don't care

 

I care enough to know I can never love you

 

 

 

Who broke my heart

 

You did, You did

 

Bow to the target

 

Blame Cupid

 

You think you're smart

 

That's stupid

 

Right from the start

 

When you knew we would part

 

 

 

_ chorus to end

Pasolini is me

'Accattone' you'll be

I entered nothing and nothing entered me

'Til you came with the key

And you did your best but

 

As I live and breathe

You have killed me

You have killed me

Yes I walk around somehow

But you have killed me

You have killed me

 

Piazza Cavour, what's my life for?

 

Visconti is me

Magnani you'll never be

I entered nothing and nothing entered me

'Til you came with the key

And you did your best but

 

As I live and breathe

You have killed me

You have killed me

Yes, I walk around somehow

But you have killed me

You have killed me

 

Who am I that I come to be here...?

 

As I live and breathe

You have killed me

You have killed me

Yes I walk around somehow

But you have killed me

You have killed me

 

And there is no point saying this again

there is no point saying this again

But I forgive you, I forgive you

Always I do forgive you.

Cool kids never have the time

On a live wire right up off the street

You and I should meet

Junebug skipping like a stone

With the headlights pointed at the dawn

We were sure we'd never see an end to it all

 

And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues

And we don't know

Just where our bones will rest

To dust I guess

Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

 

Double cross the vacant and the bored

They're not sure just what we have in store

Morphine city slippin' dues down to see

 

That we don't even care as restless as we are

We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts

And poured cement, lamented and assured

To the lights and towns below

Faster than the speed of sound

Faster than we thought we'd go

Beneath the sound of hope

 

Justine never knew the rules,

Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls

No apologies ever need be made

I know you better than you fake it to see

 

That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues

And we don't know just where our bones will rest

To dust I guess

Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

The street heats the urgency of now

As you see there's no one around

I can hear the groove

I can hear the words

I can climb the scale

I can ride the curvess

I can hit the note

I can beat the beat

I can dance the jump

I can tap my feet

Say you!

 

Getting closer

Stop me dreaming

Wanna feel you

You're so close

Ah can't write now

Wanna feel a hit

Ah can't drive now

Wanna phone you

 

Can't play it very well

But it is what I want

And what I want is what it takes

It could be slick

It could be fake

 

Can't play it very well

But it is what I want

And what I want is what it takes

It could be slick

It could be fake

Say you!

 

Can't hear you

You're so close

Wanna feel you

You're so close

Ah can't write now

Wanna feel a hit

Ah can't drive now

Wanna phone you

Say you!

 

I can hear the groove

I can spell the words

I can climb the scale

I can ride the curves

I can hit the note

I can drop the beat

I can dance and jump

I can tap the feet

Can't play it very well

But it is what I want

And what I want is what it takes

I could be slick

It could be fake

Say you!

 

Can't hear you

You're so close

Wanna feel you

You're so close

Ah can't write now

Wanna feel a hit

Ah can't write now

Wanna phone you

Getting Closer

Stop me dreaming

Wanna feel you

You're so close

Ah can't write now

Ah wanna feel a hit

Ah can't drive now

It seems like a day

A day that I call smooth

When you came into my heart I knew

The love was overflowing

And I say

La la la la la!

 

The day was so long and the night was still

And you kept coming over

To my hill

I would weep for the day

Without you, all the way

You wanted to be free

And doubt would overflow

Just come running to me

'Cause you knew I'd take you home

 

Then you came into my heart

We knew for a start

Each word like a book

With your spirit flowing ...over me

Don't bother to close your heart

Let's drink honey in the park

Swap hats and go for free

To our secret garden

I find you in the morning... after dreams of distant signs

You pour yourself over me like the sun through the blinds

You lift me up and get me out

Keep me walking but never shout

"Hold the secret close", I hear you say

 

You know the way it throws about.

It takes you in and spits you out

It spits you out when you desire

to conquer it, to feel you're higher

To follow it you must be clean,

with mistakes that you do mean

Move the heart, switch the pace

Look for what seems out of place

 

Yeah on and on it goes, calling like a distant wind

Through the zero hour we'll walk... cut the thick and break the thin

No sound to break, no moment clear

when all the doubts are crystal clear

Crashing hard into the secret wind

 

You know the way it twists and turns

Changing colour, spinning yarns

You know the way it leaves you dry

It cuts you up, it takes you high

You know the way it's painted gold

Is it honey? Is it gold?

You know the way it throws about.

It takes you in and spits you out

 

 

It spits you out when you desire

to conquer it, to feel you're higher

To follow it you must be clean,

with mistakes that you do mean

Move the heart, switch the pace

Look for what seems out of place

 

And now I find the special kind

You, yourself, like sun through blinds

You lift me up and get me out

Keep me walking but never shout

It's okay... it goes this way

The line is thin, it twists away

Cuts you up, It throws about

Keep you walking, but never shout.

Few of the sins of the father,

Are visited upon the son

Hearts have been hard,

Hands have been clenched in a fist too long

Our sons need never be soldiers,

Our daughters will never need guns

These are the years between

These are the years that were hard fought and won

 

Now our contracts torn at the edges,

Old signatures stained with tears

Seasons of war agrees,

These should not be forgotten years

Still it aches like tetanus,

It reeks of politics

How many dreams remain?

This is a feeling too strong to contain

 

The hardest years,

The darkest years,

The roarin' years,

The fallen years

These should not be forgotten years

The hardest years,

The wildest years,

The desperate and divided years

We will remember,

These should not be forgotten years

 

Our shoreline was never invaded,

Our country was never in flames

This is the calm we breathe,

This is the feeling too strong to contain

Still it aches like tetanus,

It reeks of politics

Signatures stained with tears,

Who can remember?

We've got to remember

 

The hardest...

Forsaking aching breaking years,

The time and tested heartbreak years

These should not be forgotten years

The blinded years,

The binded years,

The desperate and divided years

These should not be forgotten years,

remember

Bad weather gathers all along the coast

When the storm clouds gather and my blood runs cold

If we can't go further when we get to the shore

Then we have to turn around and fight some more

 

We'll go together I have room in my soul

That's enough of watching people trading hearts for gold

I can see you on the beach on your knees

Spilling more salt in an already dead sea

 

We'll feel the wind and the rain in our face

You can it do yourself but I heard of a place

It's got to be now and it better be together

When spirits make a meeting you can feel it forever

 

Bad weather gathers all along the coast

When the storm clouds gather and my blood runs cold

I can see you on the beach on your knees

Spilling more salt in an already dead sea

 

Run away with me again

Time for us to grow

Run away with me again

All of us alone

Now it's come to this

It's like we're back in the Dark Ages

From the Middle East to the Middle West

It's a world of superstition

 

Now it's come to this

Wide-eyed armies of the faithful

From the Middle East to the Middle West

Pray, and pass the ammunition

 

So many people think that way

You gotta watch what you say

To them and them, and others too

Who don't seem to see to things the way you do

 

We can only grow the way the wind blows

on a bare and weathered shore

We can only bow to the here and now

In our elemental war

 

We can only go the way the wind blows

We can only bow to the here and now

Or be broken down blow by blow

 

Now it's come to this

Hollow speeches of mass deception

From the Middle East to the Middle West

Like crusaders in a holy alliance

 

Now it's come to this

Like we're back in the dark ages

From the Middle East to the Middle West

It's a plague that resists our science

 

It seems to leave them partly blind

And they leave no child behind

While evil spirits haunt their sleep

While shepherds bless and count their sheep

 

Like the solitary pine

On a bare wind blasted shore

We can only grow the way the wind blows

How many times

Do we tire of all the little battles

Threaten to call it quits

Tempted to cut and run

How many times

Do we weather out the stormy evenings

Long to slam the front door

Drive away into the setting sun

 

Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn

We could be down and gone

But we hold on

 

How many times

Do we chafe against the repetition

Straining against a fate

Measured out in coffee breaks

How many times

Do we swallow our ambition

Long to give up the same old way

Find another road to take

 

Keep holding on so long

'Cause there's a chance that we might not be so wrong

We could be down and gone

But we hold on

 

How many times

Do we wonder if it's even worth it

Theres got to be some other way

Way to get me through the day

 

Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn

We could be down and gone

But we hold on

Tough times demand tough talk

demand tough hearts demand tough songs

demand-

 

We can rise and fall like empires

Flow in and out like the tide

Be vain and smart, humble and dumb

We can hit and miss like pride

 

We can circle around like hurricanes

Dance and dream like lovers

Attack the day like birds of prey

Or scavengers under cover

 

Look in-

To the eye of the storm

Look out-

For the force without form

Look around-

At the sight and the sound

Look in look out look around-

 

We can move with savage grace

To the rhythms of the night

Cool and remote like dancing girls

In the heat of the beat and the lights

 

We can wear the rose of romance

An air of joie de vivre

Too-tender hearts upon our sleeves

Or skin as thick as thieves'

 

rising falling at force ten

we twist the world and ride the wind

 

Look in- look the storm in the eye

Look out- to the sea and the sky

Look around- at the sight and the sound

Look in look out look around-

 

 

First song of the day. cool.gif

What'll I tell him

When he comes to me for absolution

Wouldn't you know it

Hope I don't make a bad decision

 

'cos I'd like to believe

That there is a god

Why sinful angels

Suffer for love

I'd like to believe

In the terrible truth

In the beautiful lie

 

Like to know you

But in this town I can't get arrested

If you know me

Why don't you tell me what I'm thinking

 

Hey don't look now

But there goes god

In his sexy pants

And his sausage dog

And he can't stand

Beelzebub

'cos he looks so good in black, in black

The smile of dawn

Arrived early May

She carried a gift from her

home

The night shed a tear

To tell her of fear

And of sorrow and pain

She'll never outgrow

 

Death is the first dance, eternal

 

There's no more freedom

The both of you will be

confined to this mind

 

I was told there's miracle for

each day that I try

I was told there's a new love

that's born for each one that

has died

I was told there'd be no one to

call on when I feel alone and

afraid

I was told if you dream of the

next world

You'll find yourself swimming

in a lake of fire

 

As a child, I thought I could

live without pain without

sorrow

As a man I've found it's all

caught up with me

I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid

 

Somewhere like a scene from a

memory

There's a picture worth a

thousand words

Eluding stares from faces

before me

It hides away and will never be

heard of again

 

Deceit is the second without end

 

The city's cold blood teaches us

to survive

Just keep my heart in your eyes

and we'll stay alive

 

The third arrives...

 

Before the leaves have fallen

Before we lock the doors

There must be the third and

last dance

This one will last forever

Metropolis watches and

thoughtfully smiles

She's taken you to your home

 

It can only take place

When the struggle between

our children has ended

Now the Miracle and the

Sleeper know that the third

is love

 

Love is the Dance of Eternity

Holy Mother of God

You've got to go faster than that to get to the top.

Dirty old mountain

All covered in smoke, she can turn you to stone

So you better start doing it right

better start doing it right.

 

You're halfway up and you're halfway down

And the pack on your back is turning you around.

Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember

You don't look back whatever you do.

Better start doing it right.

 

On your left and on your right

Crosses are green and crosses are blue

Your friends didn't make it through.

Out of the night and out of the dark

Into the fire and into the fight

Well that's the way the heroes go, Ho! Ho! Ho!

 

Through a crack in Mother Earth,

Blazing hot, the molten rock

Spills out over the land.

And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away. Hey! Hey! Hey!

If you don't want to boil as well.

B-B-Better start the dance

D-D-Do you want to dance with me.

 

You better start doing it right.

 

The music's playing, the notes are right

Put your left foot first and move into the light.

The edge of this hill is the edge of the world

And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right

better start doing it right.

 

You better start doing it right.

 

Let the dance begin.

Two lovers

forbidden from one another

a war divides their people

and a mountain divides them apart

 

They built a path to be together

 

yeah I forget the next couple of lines, but then it goes

 

SECRET TUNNEL

SECRET TUNNEL

 

THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN....

 

SECRET

End up in some disco dancin' all night & day.

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking

When I said I'd like to smash every tooth

In your head

 

Oh ... sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking

When I said by rights you should be

Bludgeoned in your bed

 

 

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt

Now I know how Joan of Arc felt

As the flames rose to her roman nose

And her Walkman started to melt

Oh ...

 

 

Bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la ...

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place

With the Human race

 

 

Oh, bigmouth, la ... bigmouth, la

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place

With the Human race

 

 

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt

Now I know how Joan of Arc felt

As the flames rose to her roman nose

And her hearing aid started to melt

With the Human race

Oh ...

 

 

Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place

With the Human race

Oh ...

 

 

Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place

With the Human race

Oh ...

 

 

Bigmouth, oh ... bigmouth, la ...

Bigmouth strikes again

And I've got no right to take my place

With the Human race

Oh ...

You have never been in love,

Until you've seen the stars,

reflect in the resevoirs

 

And you have never been in love,

Until you've seen the dawn rise,

behind the home for the blind

 

We are the pretty petty thieves,

And you're standing on our street..

 

...where Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand

and the first to do time

the first of the gang to die. Oh my.

Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand

and the first to do time

the first of the gang to die. Oh my.

 

You have never been in love,

Until you've seen the sunlight thrown

over smashed human bones

 

We are the pretty petty thieves,

And you're standing on our street..

 

...where Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand

and the first to do time

the first of the gang to die. Such a silly boy.

Hector was the first of the gang

with a gun in his hand

and a bullet in his gullet

and the first lost lad to go under the sod.

 

 

And he stole from the rich and the poor

and the not-very-rich and the very poor

and he stole all hearts away

he stole all hearts away

he stole all hearts away

he stole all hearts away

Dear hero imprisoned

With all the new crimes that you are perfecting

Oh, I can't help quoting you

Because everything that you said rings true

And now in my cell

(Well, I followed you)

And here's a list of who I slew

 

Reggie Kray - do you know my name ?

Oh, don't say you don't

Please say you do, (oh) I am :

 

The last of the famous

International playboys

The last of the famous

International playboys

And in my cell

(Well, I loved you)

And every man with a job to do

Ronnie Kray - do you know my face ?

Oh, don't say you don't

Please say you do, (oh) I am :

 

The last of the famous

International playboys

The last of the famous

International playboys

 

In our lifetime those who kill

The newsworld hands them stardom

And these are the ways

On which I was raised

These are the ways

On which I was raised

 

I never wanted to kill

I AM NOT NATURALLY EVIL

Such things I do

Just to make myself

More attractive to you

HAVE I FAILED ?

 

Oh... .

 

Oh, the last of the famous

International playboys

JONEE WENT TO THE PAWNSHOP

BOUGHT HIMSELF A GUITAR

NOW HE'S GONNA GO FAR

YOU GOTTA LOVE 'EM AND LEAVE 'EM

SOMETIMES YOU DECEIVE 'EM

YOU MADE HER CRY

JONEE YOU'RE BAD

YOU'RE GONNA MAKE HER SAD

JONEE JUMPED IN HIS DATSUN

DROVE OUT ON THE EXPRESSWAY

WENT HEAD-ON INTO A SEMI

HIS GUITAR IS ALL THAT'S LEFT NOW

HE MADE HER CRY

NOW SHE CALLS HIS NAME

JONEE YOU'RE TO BLAME
