Countermoon
On a night like this
You look up at your lover
Its like youre in some old cartoon
Then you detect
The scent of faded roses
Up in the sky
Theres that cruel countermoon
Could that be murder you see in her eyes
You try a long and desperate kiss
You cant escape it
That beam is sure to find you
Chorus:
On a night like this
The story is told
How the women get restless
And the men grow cold
Gotham shudders
Theres a chill in the air
Theres a countermoon
Lovers all beware
Hand in hand
You walk along the river
You stop to clutch and caress
A countermoonbeam
Comes sweeping off the water
She says youre not my jackie.
My jackie was the best.
Spitewaves are threatening
The seaside hotels
Its nasty weather for july
Last night you loved her
Tonight you wonder why
Chorus
At every pay phone
Theres somebody cryin
All the streets are slick with tears
When you see that blue ray
Theres a heartquake on the way
Chorus

Jackie
(Sinead O'connor cover )
Jackie left on a cold, dark night
Telling me he'd be home
Sailed the seas for a hundred years
And left me all alone
Now I've been dead for twenty years
I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears
Searching the shores for my Jackie-oh
And I remember the day that the young man came
Said, your Jackie's gone, he is lost in the rain
And I ran to the beach
And laid me down
You're all wrong, I said
And they stared to the sand
That man knows the sea like the back of his hand
He'll be back some time
Laughing at you
And I've been waiting all this time
For my man to come, take his hand in mine
And lead me away
To unsailed shores
I've been washing the sand with my salty tears
Searching the shore these long years
And I'll walk the sea forever more
'til I find my Jackie-oh
Jackie-oh
Jackie-oh
Jackie-oh

Am I Blue
Chorus:
Am I blue
Yes Im blue
It started the day I lost you
Nobody ever loved somebody like I do
Am I blue
Am I blue
Just this mornin
Over coffee
I sat there cryin
Cause youre gone long gone
I didnt know just how much
I was gonna miss you
Till I spent my first night alone
Am I blue
Yes Im blue
How could I have been such a fool
Now look at all the misery Im going through
Am I blue
Am I blue
Tried to call and say Im sorry
I couldnt get you on the line
Youll never know just how much
Im wishin you would show up
And say youve changed your mind

Ive Had Enough
Youre talking to me from the back of my car
And I cant get nothing right
And then you wonder why stand at the bar
Day and night
Chorus
Ive had enough
I cant put up with any more
No no no no no no no
Ive had enough
I cant put up with any more
No no no no no no no
You stand behind me with a watch in your hand
And I cant get nothing done
Well, people tell me youre punctual man
But come on
Chorus
I earn the money and you take it away
When I dont know where youre from
I should be worried but they say
Itll pay for a bomb

Baby you know sometimes you get a little weary
But if it ever happens honey
You just come along to me
Because you know

Home Again
Your letter came yesterday
Your, flying home for christmas
Could you stop to see me smile
I sat down to remember
All the pain we shared
But I drifted to times not so hard
Oh I see you in the corner of
Lifes grand ballroom
And I tremble to see you again
Lets all go home again
Find where we have been
Time is never understood
I see you holding me
Please dont let me be
Tonight just may be our last
The bell rings to tell me
Youre here now
And I wonder if your eyes glow and sparkle in the night
And I cant believe you look this way
Like a doll in satin
On a birthday afternoon
Hold me tightly
Like never before
Youve come to say your alive
Chorus
The sun arrives
You wake and peek outside
Touch my hand and walk right away
I hear you close the door
I dont feel joy anymore
And my heart is racing to who knows where
And I say its our last night
And clutch my soul so tight
But Ill let go to have you again

Living Is A Luxury
Theyre cooking up a storm
In hells kitchen tonight
And the main course could be you
Or try your hand at an eastside stand
Dashin, slashes, in a crazy human zoo
The girls shine like diamonds
In the cold steel of the night
With cash in hand youd better understand
If you want it you can get it any day or night
(pre-chorus)
So if you turn around
And tell me to go to hell
Id say I know that place to well
(chorus)
Where living is a luxury
Theres a bad moon rising in the underground
Living is a luxury
Another drive-by nightmare
In this lonely town
When your blood runs cold
And your souls on ice
Gotta run from the shadows
Of the night
The secrets told with the back alley show
Its a cold sweat, loose bet
Skin tight
Sloe gin is a fast-pace sin
In this hell below your feet
A blue sky day seems so
Far away, with another chalk
Mark on this crazy street
(pre-chorus)
And if you close your eyes to see
You better take a look at me
Ya

I've been waiting

For that moment
We'd be making love
Now the time has come
Come with me tonight
Share my dreams
Change my life...

Make tonight beautiful
Make tonight something more
Than any night i've ever known
In my life before

Hold me close and dont let go
Lay with me and stay with me tonight
Make tonight a beautiful night

Waiting there for us

To that place youve never been before
Open up the door
To a dream come true
Take my hand and show me how to...

In my life before

The night can bring
You see youre my door to heaven
Youre all i need
I've waited all my life
To look into your eyes
So stay with me
Make love to me
And make tonight beautiful

Make tonight beautiful
Make tonight something more
Than any night i've ever known
In my life before
Make tonight beautiful
Hold me close and dont let go

Candyman
Chorus
And even though Im right behind you
Shadows haunt and taunt your hand
I cannot be your everything
But Ill be your candyman
You move a sudden grace, a child upon the earth
You wanted love to find you but you found it first
Chorus
We look through antiques on a fuzzy, fuzzy day
But you always know just what you want
Want right away
Chorus
And though you cry at night
Its to be expected
But know youre mine tonight
So when the sun has died you dive into your mind
But your soul is never lost until the deal is signed

Jackie
(steinberg/kelly)
I woke up with your name on my lips
I woke up with your lips on my imagination
Did you wake up with my name on your lips
Or am I all alone in this infatuation
Chorus:
Jackie when you touched my soul in the candlelight
Jackie when I lost control in the heat of the night
Jack jack jackie, cant get you off my mind
I woke up thinking it was you
But I was all alone in my lonely room
Did the same thing happen to you
If you dont feel what I feel
I dont know what Id do
Chorus
I didnt know a love could feel this good
I never let anyone inside
I pushed and I shoved
I fought off a love
But with jackie Ive got nothing to hide

Take Me Down
Words and music by j.p. pennington and mark gray
Fly away with me tonight.
Take me on a one-way flight in your lovin arms, and evrythings gonna be alright.
Youre the one who took my hand when no one else could understand.
Youre the one who moves me like nobody else can.
Chorus:
Take me down where I wanna be.
Turn around, the man who lives inside of me.
Take me down and love me all night long.
Hold me close and make me strong.
Take me down. take me down tonight.
In your eyes I see the light.
Its your emotions glowin bright.
So keep the fires burnin, and let it warm me through the night.
You can be a part of me, cause youre what love was meant to be.
You and me, baby, well set the flame inside free.
Chorus
You dont have to stay forever
Lets just put our hearts together, share another night in ecstasy.
We know that its feelin better evry time we get together.
Maybe love was meant for you and me. whoa, take me down
Where I wanna be.
Turn around, the man who lives inside of me.
Take me down and love me all night long.
Hold me close and make me strong.
Take me down. take me down tonight.
Take me down tonight. take me down tonight. take me down tonight.

Naked Man
Old lady lost in the city
In the middle of a cold, cold night
It was fourteen below and the wind start to blow
There wasnt a boy scout in sight
Pull down the shades cause hes comin
Turn out the lights cause hes here
Runnin hard down the street
Through the snow and the sleet
On the coldest night of the year
Chorus
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
Old lady head up toward broad street
Shufflin uptown against the wind
She had started to cry-wiped a tear from her eye
And looked back to see where she had been
Old lady stand on the corner
With a purse in her hand
She does not know but in a minute or so
She will be robbed by a naked man
Chorus
Old lady lean against a lamppost
Starin down at the ground on which she stand
She look up and scream
For the lamplights beam
There stood the famous naked man
He say, they found out about my sister
And kicked me out of the navy,
They would have strung me up if they could.
I tried to explain that we were both of us lazy
And were doing the best we could.
He faked to the left and he faked to the right
And he snatched the purse fromere hand
Someone stop me, he cried,
As he faded from sight,
Wont nobody help a naked man?
Wont nobody help a naked man?

Jackie Brown
Is this your life, jackie brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town.
Is this your daughter, jackie brown?
This pretty little girl
In the worn out clothes
That have been hand-me down.
Is this your wife, jackie brown?
With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells so you dont see her frown.
Is this your family, jackie brown?
Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream
And giving the world more than it gave you.
What ugly truths freedom brings
And it hasnt been very kind to you.
Is this your life, jackie brown?
Is this your meal, jackie brown?
Barely enough, Ive seen people throw away more than this out.
Is this your home, jackie brown?
This three room shack
With no running water
And the bathroom out back.
Is this your grave, jackie brown?
This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took
Himself out.
Is this your dream, jackie brown?
Going nowhere and nowhere fast
We shame ourselves to watch people like this live.
But who gives a damn about jackie brown?
Just another lazy man who couldnt take what was his.
One helluva life jackie brown.
Forevermore, jackie brown
Amen and amen - jackie brown?

What Are You Gonna Do
When you are alone,
You come back cryin and you want to go home;
For someone forgettin it seems
Like youre lettin it take you away from me.
Was your idea to pack up and go.
You said you had no life of your own.
Movin in was not too hard to do.
Ya got second thoughts; youre gonna have to choose.
Chorus:
What are you gonna do ?
Forget about your mother and think about you.
For someone forgettin it seems
Like youre lettin it take you away from me.
Told you all the secrets that were mine.
The good things that I picked up overtime.
Wont accept the reason why youre here;
Talk things out; overcome the fear.

Thought that I was all that you need,
You told me things I wanted to believe.
You know that leaving me would be wrong;
Stay with me, Ill help you to be strong.

You Got Me

I'm afraid if momma only knew, it feels right

If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long
I confess i love the things you do, yes i do

If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

Where Youre Not Trying To
(tim johnson, rory lee)
Let me try to explain
Its not the roses or champagne
That really touch my heart
How can I make you see
That youre the best at loving me
When you dont know you are
Chorus:
Baby its the way that you reach out while youre sleepin
And gently hold my hand the whole night through
Its how you listen when Im pouring out my feelings
Baby when I feel the most from you
Is when youre not tryin to
You dont need to rehearse
Some sweet romantic words
To whisper in my ear
So just forget the poetry
What comes naturally
Is what I long to hear
Repeat chorus
Its in your eyes
And in your smile
In the passion of your kiss
Its takin me in your arms so easily
So easily
Its how you listen when Im pourin out my feelings
Baby when I feel the most from you
Is when youre not tryin to

Jackie Blue
Ooh-hoo, jackie blue
Lives a life from inside of her room
Hides a smile when shes wearing a frown
Ooh, jackie, your not so down
You like your life in a free form style
Youll take an inch but youd love a mile
There never seems to be quite enough
Loving around us when your loving comes
Ooh-hoo, jackie blue
Whats a game, ooh, that you never lose
Ask a winner and youll probably find
Ooh, jackie they lost you some time
Dont try tell me that youre not aware
Of what youre doing and that you dont care
You say that its easy, just a natural thing
Like playing music that youve never seen
Ooh-hoo, jackie blue
Making wishes that never come true
Going places where youve never been
Ooh, jackie, youve blown it again
Ooh-hoo, jackie blue
Lives a life from inside her room
Makes you think that life is a drag
Ooh, jackie, what fun you have had

Round and round I go
Where I stop
You will never know
Round and round I go
Where I stop
You will never know

I just dont understand
What is your master plan
What did you have me do
Confusion in my mind
Been hurt a thousand times
Now I know youre not true

You dont know what it meant to me
Just to make you happy
All this time Ive waited
Now our love has faded
Please tell me why its gone
So my life can go on

I told you once before
Im walkin out the door
Im leaving you behind
Thinking bout you all the time
Makes me so sad and blue
Now what are we gonna do

You dont know what you did to me
When you told me you loved me
Now youre actin shady
Now Im goin crazy
Please stop holdin back from me
Cause I got to keep from goin round

Up All Night
Up all night
With thoughts I cant escape from
All the things you said
Its a one way street this dead ended situation
Keep running through my head
Now the thrills gone
Youre moving on
You say you really love me
But you must be going
Its too bad its too damn sad
But not enough to make me want to cry
Somewhere theres a man who neds me
Not someone who runs and leaves me
Up all night
All those nasty games youre playin
Make me sick and tired of stayin
Up all night
Now I cant calm down
You got my senses reelin
How could you say good bye
Its 4 am
Im starin at the ceiling
Cant seem to close my eyes
But Ill be fine in time
Ill find another love boy
And youll be sorry
Ill be alright Ill sleep tight
Till the break of dawn
Chorus
I can think of better things
Counting stars
Instead of counting on you
Therell be somone in my life
To hold me close
When were up all night
But Ill be fine in time
Ill find another lover boy
And youll be sorry
Ill be alright
Ill sleep tight
Till the break of dawn

Strange
Rap:
It really isnt clear
What the story is my dear
So Ill have to analyze
All those lies and alibis
One look was all it took
Cause I know you like a book
You think youre cleaver
Those endeavors, that youre hiding
Im deciding that were through
Strange
Got a feeling youve been lying to me lately
When we kiss I get a bad vibration
You tried to hide the guilt in your eyes
Leaving clues without a trace
We used to talk and now youre always quiet
I ask you why, you say that youre just tired
You get a call and youre ready to walk out the door
And I think its kinda strange
Bridge
My suspicions are killing me
But I dont wanna point the finger at you
You say I shouldnt place the blame
But it seems youre playing games
How much longer must I tolerate this madness
Chorus
Strange
So low I cant get under it
So high I cant get over it
So wide I cant get around it
And its looking mighty strange
Yesterday I saw you across town
Buying roses, thats something you never do
When you got home, hello is all I got from you
Dont cha think thats kinda strange
I been feelin kinda funny since the last time
Cause you left in such a hurry, tryin to buy time
If youre doing what Im thinking that youre going
Then I think you need to change
Bridge
Chorus
Rap:
I cant say when
But it seems it all began
When I felt an icy tingle down my spine
You say its in my mind
So I must resolve to find
Little pieces of the puzzle that fit
You think youre so slick
But Im up on all your tricks
And I think youre soon to be
A small part of history
I know its hard to see
So how you are cheating me
You cant hide
I cant stop it
Cant get by it
And to top it off, youre strange

Prove It All Night
Ive been working real hard, trying to get my hands clean,
Tonight well drive that dusty road from monroe to angeline,
To buy you a gold ring and pretty dress of blue,
Baby just one kiss will get these things for you,
A kiss to seal our fate tonight,
A kiss to prove it all night.
(chorus)
Prove it all night,
Girl theres nothing else that we can do,
Sp prove it all night, prove it all night,
And girl Ill prove it all night for you.
Everybodys got a hunger, a hunger they cant resist,
Theres so much that you want, you deserve much more than this,
But if dreams came true, oh, wouldnt that be nice,
But this aint no dream were living through tonight,
Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.
(chorus)
Prove it all night, prove it all night girl and call the bluff,
Prove it all night, prove it all night and girl,
I prove it all night for your love.
Baby, tie your hair back in a long white bow,
Meet me in the fields out behind the dynamo,
You hear the voices telling you not to go,
They made their choices and theyll never know,
What it means to steal, to cheat, to lie,
What its like to live and die.
