Theyll Need A Crane
Love sees loves happiness
But happiness cant see that love is sad
That love is sad
Sadness is hanging there
To show love somewhere something needs a change
They need a change
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
To take the house he built for her apart
To make it break its gonna take a metal ball hung from a chain
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
To pick the broken ruins up again
To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain
Lads gal is all he has
Gals gladness hangs upon the love of lad
The love of lad
Some things gal says to lad arent meant as bad
But cause a little pain
They cause him pain
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
To take the house he built for her apart
To make it break its gonna take a metal ball hung from a chain
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
To pick the broken ruins up again
To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain
Dont call me at work again no no the boss still hates me
Im just tired and I dont love you anymore
And theres a restaurant we should check out where
The other nightmare people like to go
I mean nice people, baby wait,
I didnt mean to say nightmare
Lad looks at other gals
Gal thinks jim beam is handsomer than lad
He isnt bad
Call off the wedding band
Nobody wants to hear that one again
Play that again
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
To take the house he built for her apart
To make it break its gonna take a metal ball hung from a chain
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
To pick the broken ruins up again
To mend her heart, to help him start to see a world apart from pain
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
Theyll need a crane, theyll need a crane
Theyll need a crane

Scandal - now youve left me all the worlds gonna know

Theyll hear me pleading,well say for gods sake
Over and over and over again
Scandal - now youve left me theres no healing the wounds
Hey scandal - and all the world can make us out to be fools

So let them know when they start its just a private affair
Theyll have us hung in the air and tell me what do they care

Over and over and over and over again

And no-one ever really knows the truth from the lies
And in the end the story deeper must hide

Theyll Never Take Her Love From Me
If today the sun should set on all my hopes and cares
There is still one smiling face the gods would see
But shell walk along beside me up those golden stairs
Oh, theyll never, ever take her love from me
What a fool I was to go and break the trust she gave
And watch her love turn into sympathy
Its the one regret Ill carry with me to my grave
Oh theyll never, never take her love from me
Im so thankful for each golden hour of happiness
That we shared together in the use to be
Someone elses arms may hold her now in fond caress
But theyll never, never take her love from me
Well, I though Id make her happy if Id step aside
But I knew her love would never set me free
And even on the morning she became anothers bride
I said theyll never, never take her love from me

No, theyll never, never take her love from me

But I knew his love would never set me free

I Dont Believe
You, you, you were my first love
You, you were my last
And I was coming on strong, coming on strong,
Coming on strong
I could feel the love, I could feel your love
Coming through your heart
What did you do with your attitude blues
To make you feel alright
Theyll make you, theyll break you
Theyll put you back together
Again and again and again and again
I dont believe that the price isnt high enough
I just dont believe
There aint no mountain high enough,
There aint even a mountain
Just put your hands together
For the sake of sonnys letter
Its a crime, its a sign, its a time,
Its a fine, its your daily dime
So just put your hands together
For God sakes sonnys letter
Theyll make you, theyll break you
Theyll put you back together
Again and again and again and again
I dont believe that the price isnt high enough
I just dont believe
No I dont believe
I dont believe we cant do the streets
You, you, you were my first love
You, you were my last
And I was coming on strong, coming on strong
Theyll make you, theyll break you
Theyll put you back together
Again and again and again and again
I dont believe that the price isnt high enough
We dont believe

This Time Of Night
We all feel the same
All pleasure nothing to gain
Ive known you from the start
Ive grown used to your wooden heart
Now you know my name
You search your empty brain in vain
If you dont change your ways
Youll end up here with me unraised (? ? ? )
Without you theyll never know
Without you my life wont flow
Without you theyll never show
Without you the night wont go
Without you Im left alone
Without you Im on my own
Without you I lay in pain
Without you Ive gone insane
Now you must decide
What goods a lie when youve nothing to hide
Maps theyll never show
Theyre dumb like you, they never know
Its time we said goodbye
Bury your head and silence your cry
Know the feel of pain
Join our world and play our game
Without you theyll never know
Without you my life wont grow
Without you theyll never show
Without you the night wont go
Without you Im left alone
Without you Im on my own
Without you my lifes a waste
Just for you I wrap my face
Without you Im left alone
Without you Im on my own
Without you I lay here in pain
Without you Ive gone insane
Whatever you may think of me
Dont ever take my dignity (x4)
Whatever you may do to me
Dont crucify my dignity

The Crane And The Snake
The crane spreads its wings
while the snake coils to strike
both have great agility
and flamboyance when they fight
The crane hops, the the snake slithers
they sleep at night, near soft flowing rivers
For days the crane plays
bopping its head
swaying it many ways
before standing on one leg
All white
and inocently pure
the snake sees this dance
as an enticing lure
The snake slithers nearer
to have a better view
all this is happening
under a morning mist and dew
But the cranes alert
she knows whats there
peeking out from the bush
under this damp air
The snake gets closer
close enough to strike
the crane blocks with his wing
and postures for a fight
But the snake backs of
smiling at the crane
while the crane stands on that one leg
smiling back just the same.

That Letter
i will be honest with you
i once wrote a letter
for you
many years ago
telling
that I LOVE YOU
but then something
wrong went with my mind
childish, immature
selfish,
fleshy, they call me
i took the letter
and read it again
under the lamp
dim
near my bed
i was hesitant to tell
you what i really feel
because i know
you would not believe me
anyway
(liar! liar! you always
call me that name)
and so let me be honest
with you
i decided not to send
it
despite its truth
i folded it
shaped it into the form
of a japanese crane
(origami, that is the
art of paper folding
and the japanese believe
that an origami crane
can cure the sick
the loved one
and i believe that
too)
i looked at it carefully
when it was finished
the shape of
a crane, the white one
with letters on it
and then i opened
my window
it was cold and dark
and i sent the
crane into the
open space
beyond me
i never dreamed
that it will reach
you
i did not believe
in love
i did not believe
in you

Theyll Never Know
I walk the lonely streets
I walk with my head held high
And no one will know
Inside , Im the boy who lost you
Ill never see those angel eyes
Youre just a devil in disguise
Ill hide it so ,oh
Theyll never know
Though people pass me by
They laugh as they walk on through
And no one will know , its you
Youre the girl who hurt me
Ill never see your lovely face
Its just a lonely , lonely place
Ill hide it so , oh
Theyll never know
And all the time , until I scream and run
While I go on dreaming about you
For all this love that Ive been giving
Must I go on living without you
I walk the lonely streets
I walk with my head held high
And no one will know
Inside , Im the boy who lost you
Ill never see those angel eyes
Youre just a devil in disguise
Ill hide it so , oh
Theyll never know
Oh, theyll never know

Dont Even Think About Changing
(clarke / hicks / nash)
When people put you down
Its cause theyre jealous of you
They shouldnt make you frown
You know as well as I do
Its cause I love you
For the things you do for me
One day theyll realise
And wish that they were me
One thing I know for sure
We both get satisfaction
Thats why theyre mad at us
cos they aint got what we got
Its cos Im happy
For the things you do for me
One day theyll realise
And wish that they were me
Dont even think about changing
Youve got a life of your own
Break
Dont even think about changing
Youve got a life of your own
Why dont they understand
Our feelings are sincere
One day theyll be surprised
Because we are so near
To all the things they tried
To be when they were young
Thats why they dont agree
And take it out on us
Its cause Im happy
For the things you do for me
One day theyll realise
And wish that they were me
Its cause Im happy
For the things you do for me

The Harder They Come
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day youre born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
Im gonna get my share now of whats mine
And then the harder they come the harder theyll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder theyll fall,
One and all
Well the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them lord, they know not what theyve done
cause as sure as the sun will shine
Im gonna get my share now of whats mine
And then the harder they come the harder theyll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder theyll fall,
One and all
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when youre dead you cant
But Id rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
Im gonna get my share now of whats mine
And then the harder they come the harder theyll fall,
One and all
Ooh the harder they come the harder theyll fall,
One and all

The Loner
Written by dees/adkins
When I see you walking with some other guy.
I know that Im a man Im not supposed to cry.
But when I see you I cry inside.
I guess Im a loner I dont run with your crowd.
You only smile at me when theres no one around.
We have to meet in secret cause we know the town,
Theyll talk of me,theyll talk of you.and theyll say
Oh what a shame,hes ruining her name.
Some people say when youre alone like me.
Life has no meaning, but I know.
The reason you love me.is because Ill never be
Never be,what you want me to be.
So go on laugh and walk and talk with other guys.
Ill never let them see the love thats in my eyes.
Well meet tonight youll make it right, when you say
Well be together forever and ever.

Badlands
Fresh scrubbed baby, mommas kiss on his cheek
Steps off the greyhound with money for a week.
A wild eyed innoncent, he knows no fear
It takes more than heroes to survive down there.
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
Well if youve got the bullets...
Theyll remember your name down there.
Cant drink the water, cant breathe the air
They said it was exciting, never said it was fair
Youre just another singer in a pilgrims suit
Chased by the lines till you learn to shoot
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
If youve got those black diamonds
Theyll remember your name down there.
Badlands, well theres always a faster hand in the west
Room around town for only the best
One false step and youll be cut down
For some its paradise, others its hell.
In the badlands, the badlands, the badlands
Yeah, if youve got the bullet
Theyll remember your name down there.
Theyll remember your name down there.
Theyll remember your name down there.
Youre gonna need some protection.
You had better make your connections.

She is my tattooed rock n roll dancer
Im under her thumb and when she tells me come, oh his the only way I can answer

She never takes no for an answer
Shes driving me mad, she makes it good to be bad, my little tattooed rock n roll dancer

her name is marjorie and she locks herself in a room
for seven days
to make a poem, weaving her dreams, folding an emptly
paper
to make her crane, carefully, folding distances between the seasons
as she gathers wind
and fire
she takes a plant to survive and water it
care, she must care
lest she too dies
she opens a window one day to let her crane fly away
pure
& empty, the crane unfolds its wings as she watches
her years go by
like the way she wants some things to be unclear and undefined
because they are simply meant
to be that way, like the way that i try to confine her
in my frame of mind
she is and she will be, always, pure and then empty.

Good Love
Everytime I get to see you
I get this feelin
Its so fuzzy inside
And as soon as I walk away from you
Im still tasting your kiss
Saving it in my mind
Its not everyday I find
A guy that makes me smile all the time
Not the way that you do
All the guys I thought I used to love
Compared to you they dont match up
They got nothing on you
I think I found a good good good love
The kind that will put it on you
The kind that you wanna hold on to
I think I found a good good good love
We can be lovers and friends too
And theyll do anything for you
A good love
Baby you got somethin special
That has me thinking of settling down
Youre the one my mama told me
Would sooner or later one day finally come around
I think I found a good good good love
The kind that will put it on you
The kind that you wanna hold on to
I think I found a good good good love
We can be lovers and friends too
And theyll do anything for you

The kind that will put it on you
The kind that you wanna hold on to
I think I found a good good good love
We can be lovers and friends too
And theyll do anything for you
A good love
You bring me joy
And you bring me much pleasure
I could never see myself leaving you ever
Your soft touch is good and it cant get no better
You have got my mind so caught up
Im drunk off of your good love
I think I found a good good good love
The kind that will put it on you
The kind that you wanna hold on to
I think I found a good good good love
We can be lovers and friends too
