elven_sorceress and numerous others
1:A dark sunken night i see another pale sunrise, surrounded by soldiers glued to the screens hold back the invaders, their infernal machines,we fight to survive, running to stay alive, our bodies aching and tired, there's no where to hide, our covers' been blown away
2:I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection!
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension! '
3:I saw a welcoming light and stopped to rest for the night.
And that is when I saw her as I pulled in outside of a small motel, she was there. And so I walked up to her, asked where I could get something to eat and she showed me where'
4:Pizza all day And every day This cheese 'round the clock
Is gettin' me blocked And I sure don't care For irregularity
Tell me Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated?
5:I hear a lot of stories I suppose they could be true
All about love And what it can do to you
High is the risk of striking out The risk of getting hurt
And still, I have so much to learn
6:Hang on to your hopes, my friend That’s an easy thing to say, but if your hopes should pass away Simply pretend That you can build them again
Look around, the grass is high The fields are ripe, it’s the springtime of my life'
7: Walk out,Girl don’t you walk out We’ve got things to say
Talked out, let’s have it talked out Things will be okay Girl
I don’t want to find That I’m a little bit wrong And you’re a little bit right I said girl You know that it’s true'
8:How gentle is the rain That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high up on the trees Serenade the clouds with their melody
Oh! See there beyond the hill The bright colours of the rainbow
Some magic from above Made this day for us, just to fall in love'
9:She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,' though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly that my anger straightway died'
10:You’re so hot, teasing me So you’re blue but I can’t take a chance on a chick like you That’s something I couldn’t do
There’s that look in your eyes I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild Ah, but girl you’re only a child
11:What is this phase that I am going through O these precious years
Please take my hand and let me breathe again Young depressive tears
We stumble blindly chasing something new and something sinful
You take my time you live my life for me What have I done to rate this penalty You suck me dry My body cries
12: Of all the pirates on the seas The worst of them was blackbeard
So damnable a fiend from hell He was the one they most feared
Any man who sailed with him Was taking quite a chance
He’d hang them from the gallows Just to see if they could dance (ha! ha!'
13:He brought that camel to a screeching halt At the rear of Fatima's tent jumped off Clyde, Snuck around the corner and into the tent he went
There he saw Fatima laying on a Zebra skin rug Wearing rings on her fingers and bells on her toes And a bone in her nose ho, ho.'
14:You took your time to come back this time The grass has grown under your feet In your absence I changed my mind And someone else is sitting in your seat. I know that I said that there'd be no-one else I know that I said I'd be true But baby - I burned Cupid's arrow And here's the short and narrow
I've nothing left to offer you'
15:I never had any time And I never had any call But I went out of my way just to hurt you The one I shouldn't hurt at all I thought I was being cool
Yeah, I thought I was being strong But it's always the same old story
You never know what you've got 'til it's gone'
16: When I wake up in the morning she is there,With her sleepy smile and a long night of windy hair, And when I hold her close beside me,
Well it feels so good,That I’d like to stay here all day long,
If there’s a way that I could;'
17:In a little while from now,If I'm not feeling any less sour.
I promised myself, to treat myself, And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top, Would throw myself off,
In an effort to, make clear to whoever, What it's like when your shattered
18:Child, touch my soul with your cries And the music will know what we've found I, hear a hundred good-byes But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now Now now now now now now now Young bird flying, and a soft wind blowing Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing'
19:In the back of my Cadillac A wicked lady sittin' by my side
Sayin' 'Where are we' Stop at Third and Forty-three Exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy This place was meant for me Feels so good tonight
Who cares about tomorrow So baby, you'd better believe '
20: Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good and right And wherever you are and wherever you go
There's always gonna be some light But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together When it's over you know
We'll both be so alone'
