West Of Hollywood
Brother in tears
Look at this chain of sorrows
Stretching all the way from here and now to hell and gone
I was kid clean
She was anne de siecle
Just a thrill away from punching through to the cosmic wow
It started out good
Then it got lots better
Makin up the rules as we went along
But with a business like this
Theres an gnarly downside
Chorus:
Im way deep into nothing special
Riding the crest of a wave breaking just west of hollywood
Swingin so hard
We burned right through the summer
Till the axis of pain/pleasure sheared the arc of desire
From the rebus affair
To the streets of culver city
Places and events slip below the horizon line
Now at this time
Into our pretty story
The truth compels us
To bring a certain name
Meet if you will
Doctor warren kruger
Chorus
She reached out for my hand
While I watched myself lurch across the room
And I almost got there
Look in my eyes
Cant you see the core is frozen?
You cant ask me to access the dreams I dont have now
Sadly for us
Our little talk is over
So together well endure the tyranny of the disallowed
Dont you love port blanc
When hooterie is over
When the girls get easy and the crowds are gone
A weekend of bliss
Then the rainy season

Makin Up
Hey you - whats your problem - I been mystified
You might come from a different city - your body talks just like mine
Some things get misunderstood - and we cant stop the fight
But theres one thing that we dont disagree on putting right
(chorus)
Makin up - makin up by makin love
Makin up - makin up by makin love
Hey I dont need to be teased - Im no suicide
You might think Im on the edge - just about to dive
Dont look back or turn around - when you say youve gone for sure
cos every night when talk gets cheap - you still come back for more

Dont Talk About It
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide
Chorus:
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
A hand reached out to touch me
A letter hit the pile
I felt my life revolving
Like fingers in a dial
Just then I stopped believing
But only for a while
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
(chorus)
When I think that love was there
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you crying
A victim of your pride
But you are no civilian
So open up your eyes

Dont Mean Nothing
Welcome to the big time.
Youre bound to be a star
And even if you dont go all the way,
I know that youll go far
This race is for rats, it can turn you upside down
Aint no one you can count on in this sleazy little town, oh no
Lots of promises in the dark
But dont you open your heart
Chorus
Cause it dont mean nothin
The words that they say
Dont mean nothin
These games that people play
No, it dont mean nothin
No victim, no crime
It dont mean nothin
Till you sign it on the dotted line
The director smiles as you walk in the door
He says, I love your work, babe but
Youre just not what were looking for
Its never what but who it is you know
So easy to get stuck in all that california snow
Take a good look around and youll find
People tryin to mess with your mind
Repeat chorus
Hollywood can be so lonely
Make you the winner of a losing fight
But the party is never over
Cause stars are always shining
Doesnt matter if its day or night
The producer says, let me change a line or two
And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you
And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside
When youre trying to make a living,
There aint no such thing as pride, no
Lots of promises in the dark
But dont you open your heart
Chorus
It dont mean nothing at all. . .

Hard Luck Story
Dont ask me to love my neighbour
Cause I dont love the man
Dont ask me for my favours
I wont lend a hand
And if I had real power
Then I could disappear
Wouldnt have to be around you
Id sink into the atmosphere
Then I wouldnt hear
Your hard luck story
Its a hard luck, a hard luck story
Dont ask me to tip the waiter
For he is underhand
I can tell he is a woman hater
And he is a nasty man
Within reach lies all desire
For each and every soul
Stripped bare and stretching higher
You fall into the last balck hole
To end your hard
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Dont ask me to pray to jesus
Ive never met the man
I only meet weekend preachers
Pictures of the promised land
All the new holy saviours
Who pretend to understand
Who do you think will save you
Modern day beggar man
Such a hard luck
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Its such a hard
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Dont ask me to love my neighbour
Dont ask me to tip the waiter
Dont ask me to pray to jesus
He picked his time to leave us
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck
Hard luck story
Its a hard luck story

Dont Let Me Down
Laughing so hard
I got tears in my eyes
Walk in the park
Under sapphire skies
Oh, I cant believe that youre still around
Almost forgot how you let me down
Crying so deep
That I think I might die
Your mistakes I keep in the back of my mind
So hard to let go but Im comin round
The scars are still fragile
Dont let me down
Chorus:
So dont blow it
No not a little bit
Cause now youre all mine
Dont you forget it
Dont blow it
Even a little bit
Cause now youre all mine
Dont you forget it

Time after time
Its just too much to take
Ive waited so long
Just to get to this place
And finally it feels like
The lost was found
You got me filled up now
Dont let me down

Whose Heartache Is This Anyway
(wayland holyfield, jim mcbride)
Dont tell me that time will ease the pain
Dont tell me the sunshines after the rain
Dont sit there and tell me
Ill love again someday
Whose heartache is this anyway
Dont say that all things happen
For the best
And dont talk of silver linings
Dont tell me Ill forget
Dont say dont you worry
Cause everything will be ok
Whose heartache is this anyway
Chorus:
Cause Im not in the mood for sympathy
At least not from the one whos leaving me
So dont try to make it easy
Dont search for words to say
Whose heartache is this anyway
Well you say thatll always care for me
That Ill always be special
Well thats not what I need
So why dont you just go now
Youve done enough today
And whose heartache is this anyway

Breaking All The Rules
Well I know
I could be just another stranger
But to you
I guess Im just another fool
And you swear
You like to live your life in danger
Then you hide
Behind a wall of silly lies
Nobody thinks the way I do
I guess that nobody cares
Your heads so full of things, so set your mind free of them
Im breaking the rules
Did you know
That in the truth, theres nothing stranger
I suppose
You think I think I know it all
Chorus:
Nobody hears the things I say
I guess that nobody cares
My heads so full of things I set my mind free of them Im breaking the rules
Breaking all the rules
Cant you see theyre nothing without you
Empty heads full of fools
Now you see
Im breaking all the rules, breakin all the rules
Well I know
That you would love to go to heaven
But you know
That youre just too afraid to die
And I know
That you would love to know the answers
But to you
The truth is just another lie
Chorus
Breaking all the rules
Why dont you tell them
Breaking all the rules, a come on, a come on
Breaking all the rules, why dont you get it on,

Priscilla
You like ridin around with your big brother, in your uncles custom van
You wanna bleach your hair so bad, but your mama dont understand
Hangin around by the monument, dancin to the radio
You got a memory even shorter than your dress
But theres nothin that you dont know
Chorus:
Priscilla, priscilla, nearly sixteen but they treat you like a kid
Priscilla, priscilla, theyre gonna kill ya for what you did
Cuttin class with a backstage pass, and always skippin lunch
Ya put your hand on the knees of the boys, and daddys vodka in the punch
Learned how to jump start your grandmas car, how to french inhale your kools
And now you know that breakin hearts is easy as breakin the rules
(chorus)
You dont remember no revolution, you dont belong to no baby boom
Just you and your headphones, dreamin in your pink bedroom
Strong girls break the records, and rich girls break their nails
Smart girls always know by heart, what some girls always fail
Bad little girls grow up to be good, and good girls finish last
But crazy girls dont care how they grow up, as long as they grow up fast
(chorus repeats out...)

Yes U Can
Make your way through mirrored halls
See the boys with all their dolls
A pretty maze, like candied streets
U feel a thrill when your eyes meet
U pick the one with the feathered hair
But I'm the one that makes the boys stare
There's a room, or so I'm told
Where the DJ rocks and we don't grow old
Would u like 2 take a ride?
All u have 2 do is come inside
[CHORUS]
Say hello 2 the room where the party's jumpin'
Where the boys all freak 'cause boots are bumpin'
Where the girls are naughty and always saying
"Yes u can, yes u can, yes u can"
U got on your money rags
And Papa's got a brand new bag
And Mama's got her hot pants on
While in the back, the beat goes on
Would u like 2 come along?
Then shut up and sing this song
[CHORUS]
The boys are pale
The girls are soft as nails
The band strikes up and it starts 2 wail
There's a price on everything
It's not cheap 2 buy your dreams

Were Into Something Good
I never thought it could be like this
Give me another kiss if you dont mind, one more time
To flatter you with many stories
Used cliches that would be boring
Would just waste time, precious time
I dont have to say a thing
Its written on my face
Any doubt that you still have
Let our love erase
Chorus
Were into something good and you know it
Were into something good dont be afraid to show it
Were into something good, baby
I dont see how you conceal it
Theres no way that you cant feel it,when we do what we do
Now you cant get this close to me
Send all these vibrations through me
And not know what to do
So wipe the tears away
Dont be afraid of me
Love between us should come
Oh so free and easy

Were into something good,baby

Chain Lightnin'
On a rainy night, you showed up at my door
Child of the night, down and forlorn
Still I took you in, it's in the stars above
All girls are made the same, they all need a little love
And the magic of the moment
Exploded with desire
When the time is right, the sparks ignite
And set the night on fire
It's chain lightnin', too hot to fight
Hot on the heels of a saturday night
Chain lightnin', out of control
Straight to the heart and down to your soul
Chain lightnin', heavens above
Another day older, still searching for love
Chain lightnin, too hot to fight
And it's hotter than hell, in the heavens tonight
I was livin' hard, I was feelin' down and lonely
When toward the boulevard, a limousine moved slowly
And I noticed in the back seat, a lady wrapped in fur
Her eyes burned through me, and mine stared back at her
And I recognized the moment
As I opened up her door
I knew I would regret it
"I'd" been burned before.
(Chorus)
And lord it's so hot when the chain reaction
Is set off with a kiss
And it's so tough when the satisfaction
Is greater than the risk
When you look in her eyes and you realize
This time you can't resist
It's chain lightnin'
And the magic of the moment
Exploded with desire
When the time is right the sparks ignite
And set the night on fire
(Chorus)
Chain lightnin'

Traveling wilburys
(chorus 1)
Well its all right, riding around in the breeze
Well its all right, if you live the life you please
Well its all right, doing the best you can
Well its all right, as long as you lend a hand
You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
Waiting for someone to tell you everything
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
Maybe a diamond ring
(chorus 2)
Well its all right, even if they say youre wrong
Well its all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well its all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well its all right, everyday is judgement day
Maybe somewhere down the road aways
Youll think of me, wonder where I am these days
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
Purple haze

Well its all right, even when push comes to shove
Well its all right, if you got someone to love

Dont have to be ashamed of the car I drive
Im glad to be here, happy to be alive
It dont matter if youre by my side
Im satisfied

Well its all right, even if youre old and grey
Well its all right, you still got something to say
Well its all right, remember to live and let live
Well its all right, the best you can do is forgive

Im In The Middle
Dont makes no difference
If you lay down and cry
You know that you lied to me
And if you come to me
With tears in your eyes
Dont say good-bye
Just leave
Chorus:
Cause Im in the middle of something
I dont understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands
Im in the middle of something
I dont understand
And if looks like I lose again
Dont make no difference
What you think of me
You know that Im restless and afraid
And if you love me
I know that you will see
You cant keep me
To the promises that I made
Chorus
Dont make no difference
What you think about me
After all you took me for a ride
Now every night with you
I still seem to find
I just cant keep you satisfied

ooh! ooh!(talk about it) 2x
Verse 1:
You know life, has it's ups and downs,
turn your pretty face, into an ugly frown.
Seems that when I fix one thing,
another one comes, clouding up my vision,
And I can feel the sun, i believe that I can do this,
I know that I can win, just as long as I have his love within.
Chorus:
I believe that I can make it, I can make it through the night
I believe that I can walk on, with my head held high,
I believe that I am special in every way,
But in order to have my victory(I gotta believe) Ooh!
(Everbody help me say!!!) (Chorus)
(Take your time and tell them how to make it.)(1st chorus only)
Verse 2:
I have to see myself at the finish line (Talk about it)
I have to visualize that everything will fall in line (Talk about it)
I have to visualize the land while riding through the storm,
I have to trust in my father and open up my heart.
I know that I can do this, I know that I can win,
Just as long as I have his love within.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Ohh! Heartbreak (I can handle that)
And heart pain (I can handle that)
Being let down (I can handle that)
No One's around (I can handle that)
I believe I can (I can handle that)
I receive I can (I can handle that)
And now I'm walking right into my victory!!!!!

Hes got his work and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldnt confide in the prodigal son
The die has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun
I couldnt admit to a minute of fun

They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no need to speak
Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell
Tether that ring and phrase
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate
And I dont hate him
And I dont hate her
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak

Dont threaten me with angry

Pretty Little Dum Dum
Flaoting in a circle of illusion and deceit
drifting far beneath the skin
the taste of bitter sweet
giving into fantasies
playing every part
its hard to break away from what he says you are
chorus:
he calls you pretty little dum dum
he says he loves you but he lies
he says that your the one one
but thats eleven in his eyes
what ever happens from one through ten
dont be a victim of his past tense
pretty little one one
dont dont dont be a pretty little dum dum
a never ending silence
in a never ending sleep
walking through darkness
complicated melodies
praying for a change of heart
and looking for a sign
its hard to find the love you want in broken time
chorus:
its hard to be what you wanna be
and you wanted to be the one
but you know that you have to run
your lifes incomplete
its so bittersweet
and you wanted to be the one
but you know that you have to run
its hard to be what you wanted to be
