Crime Of The Century
Now theyre planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
Its well worth a fee
So roll up and see
And they rape the universe
How theyve gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?
Rip off the masks and let see.
But thats no right - oh no, whats the story?
Theres you and theres me
That cant be right

Morning Glory
Pretty faces everywhere
A few hard cases stop and stare
Theyve got charm that is not right
Pretty faces late at nightmorning glory whats the story
Will it ever end
Ive been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again
I remember our old rendezvous
The key was kept inside a shoe
Those moments will remain frozen in time
Morning glorys on my mind
Whats the story morning glory
Will it ever end
Ive been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again
It seems like only yesterday
She married me and carried me away
I found out what life was all about
Morning glory threw me out
Hey morning glory whats the story
Will it ever end
Ive been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
Alimony, palimony
Puts a dent in me
Ive been all the way to biscayne bay
For a dip in the shining sea
A dip in the shining sea
Pretty faces everywhere
A few hard cases stop and stare
Even when I know it aint my day
A lot of good faces anyway
Morning glory whats the story
What is it to be
Ive been all the way to biscayne bay
For a dip in the shining sea
A dip in the shining sea
Whats the story morning glory
Will it ever end
Ive been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again
Hey morning glory whats the story
Will it ever end
Ive been all the way to biscayne bay
And all the way back again
All the way back again

Who Are They?
They say not to have too much fun
They say not to get too much sun
Democrat, republican
I guess Im screwed, Im neither one
Dont say hell, say what the heck
Do whats politically correct
Dont pray in school, but have safe sex
Isnt that what they expect?
Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
Theyre probably living in la
And I dont care anyway
Who are they?
They probably own the village voice
The nashville scene, the peoples choice
To me its all a bunch of noise
Decided on by funny boys
They say who does and dont belong
They say our hairs too short or long
They say whos right and who is wrong
As if well all just come along
Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
Theyre probably living in la
And I dont care anyway
Who are they?
Well I wonder if theyve got a life
A broken car and two ex-wives
Do they drink beer on friday night
I wonder if they like to fight
And I wonder if theyve got a soul
Or if they like their rock-and-roll
Where do they live, Ive got to know
So I can tell them off
Or where to go
Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
Theyre probably living in la
And I dont care anyway
Who are they?

Talons of a Gothic Mind
She of talons, borne from gothic mind-
Steel of blue her chilly stare,
Pitch of black her fetid blood-
Whence there came an evil flare
To terrorise the weeping kind
Befogged in mental mire; to rape
The shore with phallic waves -
And all for lust, her one desire:
Corrupt the sand of innocence
Without a case for penitence,
Or cause for such as reticence -
While coming on her priapismic fire.

Rock Show
Whats that man holding in his hand?
He looks a lot like a guy I knew way back when
Its silly willy with philly band
Could be . . . . . oo-ee . . . . . .
Whats that man movin cross the stage?
It looks a lot like the one used by jimmy page
Its like a relic from a different age
Could be . . . . . oo-ee . . . . . .
If theres rock show
At the concertgebow
Theyre got long hair
At the madison square
Youve got rock and roll
At the hollywood bowl,
Well be there . . . . . . oo yeah . . . . . . .
The lights go down - theyre back in town o.k.
Behind the stacks you glimpse an axe
The tension mounts you score an ounce ole!
Temperatures rise as you see the white of their eyes
If theres rock show
At the concertgebow
Youre got long hair
At the madison square
Theyve got rock and roll
At the hollywood bowl,
Well be there . . . . . . oo yeah . . . . . . .
In my green metal suit Im preparing to shoot up the city
And the ring at the end of my nose makes me look rather pretty
Its a pity theres nobody here to witness the end
Save for my dear old friend and confidante - madamoiselle kitty
Whats that man movin to and fro?
That decibel meter doesnt seem to be reading low.
But they was louder at the rainbow
Could be . . . . . oo-ee . . . . . .
If theres rock show
At the concertgebow
Theyre got long hair
At the madison square
You got rock and roll
At the hollywood bowl,
Well be there . . . . . . oo yeah . . . . . . .
If theres rock show . . . . . . .
If theres rock show . . . . . . .
If theres rock show . . . . . . .

Beat Crazy
Kids today - theyre all the same
All call themselves - some crazy name
All those drugs - they cant be sane
All that noise - affects their brains
And its such a crime
How they waste their time
They cant get nowwhere
Theyve all gone beat crazy
Beat crazy
They say the world - is in a mess
But they can talk - the way they dress
Cant get no jobs - cant get no careers
With safety pins - stuck through their ears
And its such a crime
How they waste their time
They cant get nowwhere
Theyve all gone beat crazy
Beat crazy
And if the russians ever come
Theyll all be beating bongo drums
So wholl defend - in world war iii
Where could we turn - where would they be
And its such a crime
How they waste their time
They cant get nowwhere
Theyve all gone beat crazy
Beat crazy

Living Like A Moviestar
They got the luxury money can buy
Theyre living like kings and queens
The whole worlds crying whenever they cry
They smile when they smile at scenes
Whats left of all that glamour and glory
You find behind the doors in hollywood
Living like a moviestar
Tell me how they really are
Prisoners of roles
Until their final curtains fall
Living like a moviestar
I dont think I go too far
If I say theyre lonely after all
Too much of everything
Too much to choose
They finally lose control
Crime and insanity, scandals and booze
Theyre dying fore getting old
Whats left of all that glamour and glory
You find behind the doors in hollywood
Living like a moviestar
Tell me how they really are
Prisoners of roles
Until their final curtains fall
Living like a moviestar
I dont think I go too far
If I say theyre lonely after all
Living like a moviestar
Tell me how they really are
Prisoners of roles
Until their final curtains fall...

Trust Yourself
(olivia newton-john)
I need to tell the truth
I cant lie anymore
I need to do whats right
I know thats what my life is for
I cant be quiet anymore
About what Im suppose to do
I need to tell the truth
And do whats right by you
I need to speak my mind
And let my heart run free
Your pain will heal with time
And one day youll thank me
And as I follow my dream
And there is no room for you
Just know there was no scheme
Its just what I had to do
Trust yourself--you know all the answers
Trust yourself--you know what is right
Trust yourself--theyre all there inside you
Theyve been there forever--just show them some light
Sometimes the truth brings pain
But broken dreams regrow
Not in the same old way
But change is life you know
And as I move on
To start my song anew
Please understand my need
To do what I have to do
Trust yourself--you know all the answers
Trust yourself--you know what is right
Trust yourself--theyre all there inside you
Theyve been there forever--just show them some light
And as life goes on
Can we still be friends?
Dont let this circumstance
Cause our friendship to end
Trust yourself--you know all the answers
Trust yourself--you know what is right
Trust yourself--theyre all there inside you
Theyve been there forever--just show them some light
I need to tell you the truth
I need to speak my mind
Sometimes the truth brings pain
Your pain will heal in time

Read Between The Lines
Uh hu
You got to read between the lines
You got to read between the lines
You got to read between the lines
Ah ah ah ah
Late afternoon
Its the sun going down
A call on the cell
Why is he in such a hurry
Leaving the room
Hes mumbling too
Now look what hes doing
Hes leaving out the room
No explanation
No ask for location
Just watching him pacing
Wonder who hes chasing
Looks like versation
The end of debation
Hed love to go swing and
(chorus)
You better open your mind
And read between the lines
Got to read between the lines
Got to read between the lines
Got to read between the lines
Hot in the morning
Im up waiting for breakfast
Know your getting restless
This fool is full of questions
Little replying
Whole lot of denying
Instead I feel life in
So why do you keep on trying
Touch for the median
Now hes a comedian
Thats all the more reason
Its changing like the season
Are you still pleasing
How soon youll be leaving
Which one hell be creeping
(chorus)
(bridge)
Your replies are getting old
Its in his eyes
Youve got to read between the lines
Your replies again told
Look in his eyes
Youve got to read between the lines
Your replies are getting old
Its in his eyes
Youve got to read between the lines
Your replies again told
Look in his eyes
Youve got to read between the lines
Dont really think your pulling one over me
Cause i
I know whats going on
Dont hope you wont be planning on running me
Cause ah cause ah
Ill be gone
Dont really think your pulling one over me
Cause i
I know whats going on
Dont hope you wont be planning on runing me
Cause ah cause ah
Ill be gone
Cause youre thinking
Your ___ aint mistaken
My temperatures peaking
Now why is you barely speaking
Busting his bubble
And he knows hes in trouble
Hes talking in doubles
I listen to him hardly believing
Changing the story
And trying to ignore me
Still reaching out for me
Still aint no point in reaching
Give me a reason
To put you back on the line
You wasted enough time
I had to open my mind
And read between the lines
Got to read between the lines
Got to read between the lines
Got to read between the lines

We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live aint a soul around
People start a-comin
All we do is just a-grin
Said we gotta move out

Tell me who you know
And Ill tell you who, too
Go see my friend and hell set you free
Tell me what you see and
Mabye I can go too
No one knows the way but mabye me
Nobody goes there
Nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me, yeah
Good mornin glory, hallelujah to you
What is the story, whats been goin through ya
Livin like a king of the fat of the land
Workin like a dog in a rock n roll band
Movin, were gettin out
Movin, without a doubt
Movin, were goin far
Were movin, oh yes we are
Nobody goes there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me
Nobody knows there

Nobody goes where you can find me, ah
Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy...
Level with god
And youre in tune with the universe
Talk with yourself
And youll hear what you wanna know
Gotta rise above

Life in time
Will take you where you wanna go
Where you wanna go, where you wanna go
Where you goin....
Good mornin glory, hallelujah to you

Whats Forever For
(rafe vanholy)
Ive been looking at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all Ive been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds
Maybe its me whos gone crazy
cause I cant understand why
All these lovers keep hurting each other
When good love is so hard to come by
So whats the glory in living?
Doesnt anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me whats forever for
I see love-hungry people
Trying their best to survive
While in their hands is dying romance
And theyre not even trying to keep it alive
So whats the glory in living?
Doesnt anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me whats forever for
So whats the glory in living?
Doesnt anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me whats forever
Whats forever for?

His Story
Yo, this is a story of a male female threat to society
You know being misjudged and not respected for what we are
But I want to send this special shout out to my girl tawana brawley
Cause no matter what we say or what we do
Theyll always believe his story (ow)
Chorus:
His story (yeahee, yeahee, yeahee)
Hist story (ow)
Theyre gonna believe
His story
His story
Why does it have to be that we get labeled for what we do
Its hard enough for us to be ourselves without being used
Girls have an image too
But when they get mad at you
There is no telling what theyll say to hurt you
This is a story of a male female threat to society
Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me? (yeahee, yeah, oooh)
His story over mine his story will be his story
And my story is a waste of time (aaaah-aah-aah)
Theyre gonna believe
Chorus
Sometimes I feel like there is no reason for me to explain
No matter how much we complain
You know it all stays the same
They try to call us freaks
Why does it have to be
We cant get justified until we speak up (oooh)
This is a story of a male female threat to society
Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me? (yeahee, yeah, oooh)
His story over mine his story will be his story
And my story is a waste of time (aaaah-aah-aah)
(you know its just a waste of my time)
Theyre gonna believe
His story over mine
So what you gonna do
Dont let it take over you (hey)
My story is a waste of time
Its hard enough to be ourselves without being used
So yo take it from me
Dont be a victim of society
You cant put yourself in a position to be neglected
And disrespected
You have to do whats not expected
Alright
Or all be his story
His story over mine
His story will be his story
(this is a story of) how could you do this to us
Theyre gonna believe
His story over mine
His story will be his story and
My story is a waste of time
Theyre gonna believe
His story over mine
His story will be his story
And my story is a waste of time
Youre gonna believe
This is a story of a male female threat to society
Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me? (yeah, yeah)
This is a story (peace, love and hair and grease from tlc) of a male
Female threat to society
Why you wanna go tell a lie on me? (yeahee, yeahee, ho)

This Is The 21st Century
(...if you could only see what Ive seen with your eyes)
A wise man once said
A flower is only
A sexual organ
Beauty is cruelty
And evolution
A wise man once said
That everything could be explained with mathematics
He had denied
His feminine side
Now where is the wisdom in that?
I came just as fast as I could
Through the dirty air
Of your neighbourhood
Your name on a grain of rice
Hangin around my neck
And a head like lead
This is the 21st century
I heard everything they said
The universe demystified
Chemicals for god
This is the 21st century
I heard everything they said
A wise man once wrote
That love is only
An ancient instinct
For reproduction
Natural selection
A wise man once said
That everything could be explained
And its all in the brain
We lay on a velvet rug
By the open fire
She blew air on my eyelids
I cried whats it all about?
As she kissed my hair
She said there, there..
This is the 21st century
I heard everything you said
The universe demystified
Astronomy instead
This is the 21st century
Cant you get it through your head
This aint the way it was meant to be
Magic isnt dead
Come to bed
Come to bed
And rest your heavy head my love..
And slowly, from above,
She showed the answers something that cant be written down
This is the 21st century
Flash to crash and burn
Nobodys gonna give you anything
For nothing in return
Theres a man up in a mirrored building
And he just bought the world
Would you want
To have kids
Growing up
Into whats left of this?
She shook her head,
She said cant you see?
The world is you
The world is me.

Of Greed And Corruption
Of greed and corruption we are all too aware
It's happening in your suburb and the big World out there
Many in high places into corporate crime
And more honorable than them in jail serving time
On the scales of justice one must cast a doubt
Big time corporate crims seldom ever caught out
Money speaks every language some are known to say
In the twenty first century it does seem that way
Of greed and corruption the whispers abound
Amongst influential people criminals to be found
To buy their way out of trouble they seldom do fail
The power of their money can keep them from jail
And of greed and corruption we hear every day
Whoever did tell us that crime does not pay?

I Hate the Thought of Hate Crimes
A crime is a crime no matter how cut it,
A murder is a murder, a rape is a rape,
An assault is what it is,
A crime scene is a crime with the yellow tape.
If the prisons were to be abundant,
We can then send to jail all are convicted,
We don’t have to pardon anyone out overcrowding and time off for good behavior,
We must send all the criminals that indicted,
Guilty as charged that is what should fuel our endeavor.
Are we really up to the cost?
Are we really up to taxation?
Are we saying we have lost?
Are we saying we’ll pass another law,
such as hate crimes,
without a suitable explanation?

Completing All The Touches
Her pupil shone –
Black stole a peek
Her smile wore sleek
Beneath a knowingness
That I would seek
A slipping down of garments,
Jealous of their role
To hide the jewels that complement,
Completing all the touches.

Karma Patrol
Stolen a bike, take it for a ride
Commit a crime, thought you got away
Pick on a kid, only half the size
Karma patrols gonna set it straight
Whos to say whats coming or going?
Theyre the ones who call the shots
And endless search for those whove not
Paid for their delinquent way
Cause personal catastrophes
Theres a saying
A little better one than the previous
When youre mischievous
Youll get what you deserve
And its a beautiful thing
All the liquid coming out the gutter cause
Whats done is done
I cant change the past
Karma patrol is gonna get me (last)
Something happened just the other day
You helped another from another
But theres nothing coming back your way
Nobody said that life was fair
So lift your head and understand
That doing good is fine
But dont expect to find your plate full
Because the karma patrol is blind to the fact
Except that no ones perfect all the time
Raining down, walking home
When they come, you will know
All looks good, mind your way
Now youre going to pay
(better watch your back cause)
Theyve got a target on you
No matter what you do
And the water will come down
So jump to the side
Or youll get soaked straight through
To the bone
Thats what theyve shown
They have no preference for the good or the evil
But I just know one day
Theyll be coming my way

Fantasy IV
Pounce of nipple
Snatches,
Catches me off guard
Flounce and ripple
Thro' the breasts
Arrests
Landing hard,
I'm flung upon my back
To analyse the ceiling -
No appealing under stress
Now under dress -
Panties gone
And she upon
My countenance -
I rouse to bait
Her feminine way
Lead astray by
Aromatic warming
Of her womanhood,
I tune her body's
Resonance
Thro' eloquence of tongue -
Her shrieking
Highly strung
We up the play

These Corporate Crims
These corporate crims are no longer quite rare
And plenty of them in the big World out there
But of the Universal Consciousness so little we know
In karma 'tis true that we reap what we sow.
These super rich crims to themselves may drink a toast
But for their crimes 'tis the have nots who do suffer the most
The more money they have the more they seem to need
And many must grow poorer because of their greed.
They do not spare one thought for those in poverty
And they lack in compassion and in empathy
Their greed for more money it leads them to crime
And far better than them are in jail serving time.
To the laws of fair trade respect they do not pay
But we reap what we sow that is the karmic way
Their great lust for money to crime them does lead
But others must suffer because of their greed.

The Drop
Moving down the fuselage
Toward the open door
Catch you looking down outside
To see what lies ahead
One by one
You watch them fall
Fall through cloud
One by one
You watch them fall
No idea where theyre going
But down
Where theyve gone
Where theyve gone
Watching as the sun goes down
I sit inside this plane
Notice how the city lights
Are like the nerves inside the brain
One by one
Theyre going out
You watch them dim
One by one
You watch them fall
And wonder where theyre falling to
