Oblivious

From the mountain tops down to the sunny street
A different drum is playing a different kind of beat
It's like a mystery that never ends
I see you crying and I want to kill your friends

I hear your footsteps in the street
It won't be long before we meet
It's obvious
Just count me in and count me out and
I'll be waiting for the shout
Oblivious

Met Mo and she's okay, said no one really changed
Got different badges but they wear them just the same
Down by the ballroom I recognized
That flaming fountain in those kindered caring eyes.

I hear your footsteps in the street
It won't be long before we meet
It's obvious
Just count me in and count me out and
I'll be waiting for the shout
Oblivious

I hope it haunts me 'til I'm hopeless
I hope it hits you when you go
And sometimes on the edge of sleeping
It rises up to let me know it's not so deep
I'm not so slow

They're calling all the shots
They call and say they phoned
They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone
And like a funny film, it's kinda cute
They bought the bullets and there's no one left to shoot.

I hear your footsteps in the street
It won't be long before we meet
It's obvious
Just count me in and count me out and
I'll be waiting for the shout
Oblivious... 

Wake up and make love with me

You I come awake
With the gift for womankind
I'm still alseep
But the gift don't seem to mind
Rise on this occasion
Halfway up my back
Sliding down my body
Touching my behind

If I look so self-possessed
Oh please disturb my rest
It's lovely when I'm sleeping
But wide awake is best

Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't wanna make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love

I come awake
In a horny morning mood
And we'll have a proper wriggle
In the naughty, naked nude
Roll against my body
Ooh, get me where you want me
What happens next is private
It's also very rude

I'll go and get the post
And make some tea and toast
You have another sleep luv
It's me that needs it most

Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't wanna make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love

Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up 

Anne, I'm not your Daddy

They say that all is fair in love and war and child, believe it
When mama stayed in St. Tropez, she had a fall or two
And I'm telling it to you straight
So you don't have to hear it in another way

Oh Annie
I'm not your daddy
Oh Annie
I'm not your daddy

They say that out of sight is out of mind and child, believe it
Your mama was in search of love, but all she got was used
And I'm telling it to your face
So you don't have to hear it in another place
Bring it to me gently now
Don't forget, I'm just a child

Oh Annie
I'm not your daddy (mama's baby's papa's baby)
Oh Annie
I'm not your daddy (mama's baby's papa's baby)

See, if I was in your blood then you wouldn't be so ugly
Oh!

I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a

Yes, I'm telling it to you straight
So you don't have to hear it in another way
Bring it to me gently now
Don't forget, I'm just a child

Oh Annie
I'm not your daddy (mama's baby's papa's baby)
Oh Annie
I'm not your daddy (mama's baby's papa's baby) 

Promise me

You light up another cigarette and I pour the wine
It's four o'clock in the morning and it's starting to get light
Now I'm right where I wanna be, losing track of time
But I wish that it was still last night

You look like you're in another world but I can read your mind
How can you be so far away, lying by my side
When I go away I'll miss you and I will be thinking of you
Every night and day

Just promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon

When I go away I'll miss you and I will be thinking of you
Every night and day
Just promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too

And I'll be home, I'll be home
Promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon

Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon 

Get it right next time

Out on the street I was talkin' to a man
He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand"
You shouldn't worry I said that ain't no crime
Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.

You need direction, yeah you need a name
When you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the same
After a while you can recognize the signs
So if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.

Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat
It'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet
No use complainin', don't you worry, don't you whine
Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.

You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakes
You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awake
When you believe there's no mountain you can climb
And if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.

Next time, you-hum 

Good year for the roses

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin' cold the way you left 'em, but at least your lips caressed them while
You packed
Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it, that's so much more than I can say
For me

What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin'
Funny I don't even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
It's been a good year for the roses

After three full years of marriage, it's the first time that you haven't
Made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talkin', there's so little left to say we
Haven't said
While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind, I find I haven't said a word
From the bedroom the familiar sound of a baby's cryin' goes unheard

What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin'
Funny I don't even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
It's been a good year for the roses 

Broken stones

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones
They're all trying to get home

Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone
Yeah, trying to get home

As another pitch shatters
Another little bit gets lost
What else really matters?
Oh, at such a cost

Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, he's lost and alone
Yeah, a lot of folks stay home
(Yeah, now you go home)
(Yeah, now you go home)

And another pitch shatters
Another little bit gets lost
Tell me what else really matters
Oh, at such a cost

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones
They're all trying to get home

Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, he's lost and alone
Yeah, trying to get home

Trying to get home
Trying to get home
Like broken stones
Oh, trying to get home
Trying to get home
Like broken stones 

Alone again or

Yeah, I said it's all right
I won't forget
All the times I waited patiently for you
I think you'll do (just what) you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love, with almost everyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear

Yeah, I heard a funny thing
Somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear 

Jackie Wilson said (I'm in Heaven when you smile)

Jackie Wilson said it was reet petite
I kind of love you
Yes it knocks me off my feet
Let it all come down
Oh let it all come down
And you know I'm so wired up
I don't need any more tea in my cup
Let it all come down
Oh let it all come down

Now watch this

Toodle langa langa Toodle langa fang
Toodle langa langa Toodle langa fang
I'm in heaven
I'm In heaven
I'm In heaven when you smile

And when you walk across the street
It makes my heart go boom boom boom
Let It all come down
And every time I stop to think about It
Well little child you simply make my day
Let It all come down
Oh let It all come down

Toodle langa langa Toodle langa fang
Toodle langa langa Toodle langa fang
I'm in heaven
I'm In heaven
I'm In heaven when you smile 

Nobody but you

I really care a lot
although I look like I do not
Since I was shot
there's nobody but you

I know I look blase
Party Andy's what the papers say
At dinner I'm the one who pays
for a nobody like you

Nobody but you
a nobody like you
Since I got shot
there's nobody but you

Won't you decorate my house
I'll sit there quiet as a mouse
You know me I like to look a lot
at nobody but you

I'll hold your hand and slap my face
I'll tickle you to your disgrace
Won't you put me in my proper place
a nobody like you

Sundays I pray a lot
I'd like to wind you up and paint your clock
I want to be what I am not
for a nobody like you

The bullet split my spleen and lung
the doctors said I was gone
Inside I've got some shattered bone
for nobody but you

Nobody but you
a nobody like you
Shattered bone
for nobody but you

I'm still not sure I didn't die
and if I'm dreaming I still have bad pains inside
I know I'll never be a bride
to nobody like you

I wish I had a stronger chin
my skin was good, my nose was thin
This is no movie I'd ask to be in
with a nobody like you

Nobody like you
a nobody like you
All my life 

I only want to be with you

I dont know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
Cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see?
That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

It doesnt matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
Its crazy but its true
I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me
And asked if Id care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didnt stand a chance
Now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as were together, honey, I dont care
Cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see?
That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Oh, oh, you stopped and you smiled at me
And asked if Id care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didnt stand a chance
Now hear me tell you
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as were together, honey, I dont care
Cause youve started something
Oh, cant you see?
That ever since we met
Youve had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
I said no matter, no matter what you do

I only want to be with you
