Dig if you will the picture Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me Can you my darling
Can you picture this?
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat The heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold) Maybe you're just too demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold (Ya know he's too bold)
Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother)
She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other (Why do we scream, why)
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
how can you say I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved just like everybody else does
I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and the heir of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
how can you say I go about things the wrong way I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does
There's a club if you'd like to go
you could meet somebody who really loves you so you go, and you stand on your own
and you leave on your own and you go home, and you cry and you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen "now" well, when exactly do you mean?
see I've already waited too long and all my hope is gone
You shut your mouth
how can you say I go about things the wrong way I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does
How Soon Is Now? The Smiths 1984
You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something Me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living
See my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way
So remember when we were driving driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
So remember when we were driving driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving
So remember when we were driving driving in your car Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way
Fast Car Tracy Chapman 1988
Come on Eileen Come on Eileen
Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried Sang along Who'd blame them?
You've grown (you're grown up) So grown (so grown up). Now I must say more than ever
Come on Eileen
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye And we can sing just like our fathers
Come on Eileen Oh, I swear (what he means) At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress My thoughts I confess Verge on dirty
Oh, come on Eileen
Come on Eileen
These people 'round here
Wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces They're so resigned to what their fate is
But not us (no, never) No, not us (no, never) We are far too young and clever
Remember
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye Eileen I'll hum this tune forever
Come on Eileen Oh, I swear what (what he means)
Ah, come on let's take off everything Pretty red dress Eileen (tell him yes)
Ah, come on let's Ah, come on Eileen
Pretty red dress
Eileen (tell him yes) Ah, come on let's Ah, come on Eileen, please
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Now you're all grown Now you have shown Oh, Eileen
Say, come on Eileen These things they are real
And I know how you feel Now I must say more than ever Things 'round here have changed
I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means) At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress, My thoughts I confess Verge on dirty
Ah, come on Eileen
Ah, come on Eileen Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything You in that dress, My thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen
Come On Eileen Dexy's Midnight Runners 1987
Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design It's my own remorse Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world Say that you'll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it ? Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody Wants To Rule The World Tears For Fears 1985
