Poem To A Horse
Youre too far to bring you across
Too high to see below
Just hanging on your daily dose
And you never needed anyone
But theyre rolling papers for your grass
How can you give what you dont have?
You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
You start out playing with yourself
You get more fun within your shell
Nice to meet you but I gotta go my way
Chorus:
I leave again
Cuz Ive been waiting in vain
But youre so in love with yourself
If I say my heart is sore
Sounds like a cheap metaphor
So I wont repeat it no more
Id rather eat my soup with a fork
Or drive a cab to new york
Cuz to talk to you is harder work
So whats the point of wasting all my words
If its just the same or even worse
Than reading poems to a horse
You keep on aiming for the top
And quit before you sweat a drop
Feed your empty brain with your hydroponic pot
I bet youll find someone like you
Cuz theres a foot for every shoe
I wish you luck but Ive got other things to do

Dont Sweat It
Id like to see you before I go
Theres a few things Id like to do
And when youre gone, youll be gone for long
And soon Ill be gone too
But dont sweat it, dont sweat it, dont sweat it, ooh
Dont sweat it, dont sweat it, dont sweat it
Are you happy with the color of your tea
Could you use some sugar now?
Youre satisfied with your boy or your girl
Your little butter cup
But dont sweat it, dont sweat it, dont sweat it
Dont sweat it, dont sweat it, dont sweat it.
Id like to see you before I go
Theres a few things Id like to do
And when youre gone, youll be gone for long
And soon Ill be gone too
But dont sweat it, dont sweat it, dont sweat it
Dont sweat it, dont sweat it, dont sweat it

Hollywood
They say people out in hollywood
Live their life out in black and white
Theyre living out a technicolor dream
Next day theyre a star overnight
Not like living in new york
Man, its tougher
Not like in london town
Boy, you suffer
Nobody give a break
When youre down on your luck
Everybodys on the take
When youre down on your luck
You cant make a mistake
When youre down on your luck
People out in hollywood
They got a lot of class
You see the boys strutting down the boulevard
Trying to make a pass
Not like in new york
Its high rise, its concrete and complex
Not like in london town
It reigns down on its subjects
Nobody give a damn
When youre down on your luck
Nobody understands
When youre down on your luck
Lady chance, she wont dance
When youre down on your luck
People out in hollywood
They can make it to the stars
They can reach the screen
Drive around in big expensive convertible cars
Not like in new york
All youve got is broadway
Not like in the west end of london
You cant make it no way
Nobody give a damn
When youre down on your luck
Nobody understands
When youre down on your luck
Youve got to strut your stuff
When youre down on your luck
You cant take it easy, it aint good enough
When youre down on your luck
Everybodys on the make
When youre down on your luck
Nobody give a fair deal
When youre down on your luck
Nobody understands my uncle sam
When youre down on your luck
Im ready for the dance
When youre down on your luck
I gotta make a dollar holler
When youre down on your luck

Too Young To Die
Written by jay kay and toby smith
Everybody, dont want no war, cos were all too young to die
Many people, all around the world now, seen their brothers fry?
Whats the motive?
In your madness youve made my people cry
So politicians, this time keep your distance
Cos were too young to die
You know were too young to die,
You know were too young to die,
You know were too young to die,
You know were too young to die.
Whats the answer? to our problems.
I think weve gone to high,
Little children never said a word now, but still they have to die
It wont be long, dancing like we do now,
To put this sad world right
So you dont worry, suffer no more,
Cos were too young to die,
You know were too young to die,
You know were too young to die,
You know were too young to die,
You know were too young to die.
You know were too young to die,
You know were too young to die,
You know were too young to die,
You know were too young to die.
All gone when they drop the bomb.
Can politicians reassure? cos here I am pressuming that nobody here wants a war.
Theres so many people praying just to find out if theyre staying.
But lately, stately governments and disillusioned leader,
So full of empty promises but rarely do they feed us,
Put our backs against the wall, or dont we count at all.
Can you decide, are you mesmerised.
Do you know which side youre standing?
Cos when it falls gonna take us all.
Gotta know what were demanding, I never lie, cant hear you cry,
Coming from on high,
Were too young to die!

Wasting My Time
By bookmat
I dont think you understand
That what youre doing is not so cool
You think its funny to mess with my mind
Dont you
You know I like you so you just tease me
You give me just enough to hang on enough
When youre just wasting my time
Youre simply wasting my time
So quit wasting my time
Do you hear me when I say
So let me ask you something
Do you think Im pretty or dont you
Do you wanna get with me or not and nowwww
Or are you just wasting my time
Youre simply wasting my time
So quit wasting my time
And what would youve got to say
Well things have got to change
Say this just isnt right
I dont wanna have to fight
And I think Id better go
Cause this aint working out any more
And Im sorry, sorry, sorry
Understand
That what you did
Was just not so cool
Baby, youre just not that cool

Hand To Hold On To
You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,
Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That youre cool.........so cool..........so cool.
Say, imunna hold onto that a while and I will and Ill be tame,
Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,
Be an old girl drivin the young boys insane,
Be a joker, a preacher....it does not matter.
Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Dont need to be no strong hand
Dont need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to
Havin good luck with your financial situation,
Play the ponies, be the president of the united nation,
Go to work and be a hollywood stand,
Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, but
Repeat chorus
And in those hours when youre alone,
And theres nobody there except yourself,
I know it.........you wanna pick up the phone,
And say, talk to me, talk to me, somebody please
Talk to me! yeah!
Guitar solo
Ohh, yeah!

Make Up Your Mind
Make up your mind.
You couldnt make me anymore crazy
than I could stand to be.
So wont you just sympathize with me.
And all the things I do to make you angry with me.
Whats wrong with me today?
You say, I leave you all alone.
Every time you call me.
As if you needed reason to fall down.
I know this must be hard for you to understand.
And all this waiting takes too long for me.
Make up your mind.
[ Chorus ]
You dont even know, whats good for you.
You better keep your eyes on me.
Maybe youre oblivious inside.
And its scary that you dont know.
Your chances fade away.
Fade away sometimes.
Maybe youre oblivious inside.
No you cant deny me.
And I dont want to see you go away.
You get angry when I ask whats on your mind.
I should have been asking you whats been up your sleeve this whole time.
Cause now I know youre dangerous.
And I know youre dangerous, but somehow youre contagious.
Make up your mind.
[ Repeat Chorus 2x ]
No, you cant deny me. No, you cant deny me.
Cause I dont want to see you go away.

I Wont Last A Day Without You
Day after day, I must face a world of strangers
Where I dont belong, Im not that strong
Its nice to know that theres someone I can turn to
Who will always care, youre always there
(*) when theres no gettin over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams wont come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I wont last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face, a lonely place
Its nice to know that youll be there if I need you
And youll always smile, its all worthwhile
Repeat (*)
Touch me and I end up singing
Trouble seems to up and disappear
You touch me with the love youre bringing
I cant really lose when youre near
When youre near, my love
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises theyre not unkind, just
Hard to find
One look at you and I know
That I must learn to live without the rest
Ive found the best
Repeat (*) twice

How Good It Can Get
Slow down
Youre breaking up
Use your words
Dont yell so much
I dont understand a word
That youre saying
Now move in
Come up close
You look like
Youve maybe seen a ghost
Tell me
Has someone gotten to you baby
Now open your arms
Pick up your head
Open your eyes
So you can see
What happens next
You wont believe
Just how good it can get
Well make a lover
Out of you yet
The fog is so thick
I cant see my hands
It got much worse
Soon as I got in
And I know youre somewhere
Here in the water
Its ten feet deep
And the river wont stop
Ill tell you whats in it
When I make it across
You could make it too
If you let someone help you
But you gotta give in
And you gotta let go
Then you can begin
To come up slow
Like a desert rose
[chorus]
Take a deep breath
And hold it in tight
And put your face up
Right into the light
Cant you feel that full moon
Shining down on you
Help is coming
From the great unknown
Just maybe not
When you needed it most
Cause I can see you already
Know that youre leaving
But I wish youd stay
And just let me in
Cause everything can change
But you gotta be ready
Cause you wont know when

Male ego walking down the street
Sees something looking hot and sweet
Hey, baby would you like to meet me tonight?
Male ego is a worldwide game
We love the ladies more than wealth and fame
Lots of girls running through my brain tonight
Male ego is played by all
Chasing ladies and having a ball
Hey girl, Im gonna give you a call tonight
Dont know why we love to chase those tasty ladies
Betcha boys well be doing it in our eighties
Male egos like a game of chance
The gamble starts with just a glance
Youre off and running with a new romance tonight
Male ego wont ever quit
It seems to me from where I sit
We oughta do our bit to capture it tonight

Get Yourself To Love
(mccormick)
Isnt it time all of loves bad debts got paid?
Dont be afraid
Isnt it true?
If you dont trust in yourself
Youll trust no-one else
All your favourite memories
Are not your worst enemies
Come on, give em a ride
You gotta decide to push them aside
Give it a try
You gotta get yourself to love
Shes not the only one
You, you gotta get yourself to love
Why be the lonely one?
Get yourself to love
Take away the things you need to start again
Your heart will never mend
Take away, oh, the chance you have to slip and fall
You will miss it all
Drop your one-part harmonies
For the harder melodies
Youre so aware
Of the crosses you bear
Dont be so scared
Show that you care
Oh, you, oh, you gotta get yourself to love
Shes not the only one
Oh, you, yes you, you gotta get yourself to love
Why be the lonely one?
Oh, you, yeah, you gotta get yourself to love
Yes, love, you gotta love sometime
You, oh, you
Why be the sad and lonely one?
You know
You can do it, yes, you can do it, you can do it for yourself
Yes, you can, oh, dont bend
You can do it, you can do it, you can do it
You can do it for yourself

Beauty School Dropout
Your storys sad to tell a teenage neer-do-well
Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block
Your futures so unclear now, whats left of your career now
Cant even get a trade-in on your smile
Beauty school drop-out, no graduation day for you
Beauty school drop-out, missed your midterms and flunked shampoo
Well at least you could have taken time to wash and clean your clothes up
After spending all that dough to have the doctor fix your nose up
Baby get moving (better get moving), why keep your feeble hopes alive
What are you proving (what are you proving)?
Youve got the dream, but not the drive
If you go for your diploma, you could join a steno pool
Turn in your teasin comb and go back to highschool
Beauty school drop-out, hangin around the corner store
Beauty school drop-out, its about time you knew the score
Well they couldnt teach you anything, you think youre such a looker
But no customer would go to you, unless she was a hooker
Baby dont sweat it (dont sweat it), youre not cut out to hold the job
Better forget it (forget it), who wants their hair done by a slob
Now your bangs are curled, your lashes twirled, and still the world is cruel
Wipe off that angel face and go back to highschool
Baby dont blow it, dont put my good advice to shame
Baby you know it, even dear abbys say the same
Now Ive called the shot, get off the pot, I really gotta fly
Gotta be goin to that maltshop in the sky
Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool
Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool
Beauty school drop-out, go back to highschool

Hand Me Down
Someday theyll find your small town world on a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk when theyre talking to you
Gonna make you break out of the shell cause they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth
Theyll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say
Theyre gonna break your heart, yeah
[chorus]
From what Ive seen
Youre just a one more hand me down
Cause no ones tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now
Somebody ought to take you in
Try to make you love again
Try to make you like the way they feel
When theyre under your skin
Never once did think theyd lie when theyre holding you
You wonder why they havent called
When they said theyd call you
You start to wonder if youre ever gonna make it by
Youll start to think you were born blind

From what Ive seen
Youre just a one more hand me down
Cause no ones tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now
Im here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
Whenever it aint easy
You can stand up against me
And maybe rely on me
And cry on me, yeah
Oh no, no, no
Some day theyll open up your world
Shake it down on a drawing board
Do their best to change you
They still cant erase you
[chorus]
From what Ive seen
Youre just a one more hand me down
Cause no ones tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down

Lay them down on me
Oh yeah

And all those nots dont give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down...on me

Drop The Mask
(tim tickner, christopher ward, diana ross)
Look in the mirror, who do you see
Where is the man that you used to be
When you turn off the world and turn down the lights
Do you ever wonder who you are tonight
I knew you then, I love you now
You can call me up when it gets you down
Behind the shades theres someone real
Behind your eyes I wonder how you feel
This is me talking to you
Theres just one thing Im asking you to do
You gotta drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else
No one knows what youre going through
Whatever it is, Ill be there for you
If you drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else
I was there when it all began
I still remember the boy within the man
I understand what it means to run and hide
Theres so much that were holding onto deep down inside
This is me talking to you
The only thing that I want you to do
You gotta drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else
No one knows what youre going through
Whatever it is, Ill be there for you
When you drop the mask, be yourself
Drop the mask
Trust someone else
Drop the mask
Drop the mask
Let down your guard, open your heart
Unlose your chains, dont be afraid
Drop the mask
Be yourself
Be yourself
Trust someone else
You gotta drop the mask
Let down your guard, oh you gotta drop the mask
Trust someone else
You gotta drop the mask

Youre too vain, youre insane
You think the world will stop turning
cause you aint around
Blind eyes, cheap lines
You got the whole band playing
But you dont hear the sound
Your venom pen
Will never poison me
I wont be sticking round that long
Corina, whats this talk of glory
Between the sheets in halls of fame
Corina, just a hard luck story
Bratpack fever
Running through your brain
Your fast cars, rock stars
You were seen at the party
But you werent even there
False name, the same game
Somebodys minding your business
You dont even care

Oh finally some place to start
