Ivory Tower
Chorus:
When you come down
From your ivory tower
You will see how it really must be
To be like me to see like me
To feel like me
Take a look at me Im a poor mans son
I never did no harm to no one
Youve got money in the bank
And I dont have none
When you come down etc etc....
Bridge:
You can see through
Your rose coloured glasses
In a world that seems
Like glamour to you
Youve got opinions and judgements about
All kind of things
That you dont know anything about
Dont you know the price that I have to pay
Just to do everything I have to do
Do you think that theres nothing to it
You should try it sometime
When you come down etc etc....

Rich Girl
Youre a rich girl, and youve gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
You can rely on the old mans money
You can rely on the old mans money
I ts a bitch girl but its gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Get you too far
And dont you know, dont you know
That its wrong to take what is given you
So far gone, on your own
You can get along if you try to be strong
But youll never be strong

Youre a rich girl, and youve gone too far

You can rely on the old mans money
You can rely on the old mans money
Its a bitch girl and its gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
Say money but it wont get you too far,
Get you too far
High and dry, out of the rain
Its so easy to hurt others when you cant feel pain
And dont you know that a love cant grow
cause theres too much to give, cause youd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh
Youre a rich girl, and youve gone too far
cause you know it dont matter anyway
You can rely on the old mans money
You can rely on the old mans money
Its a bitch girl and its gone too far

Forever & A Day
Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing
Chorus
If youve got the answer
Then I dont want to know
If youve got the answer
Just keep it your own
I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected
If youve got the answer
Then I dont want to know
If youve got the answer
Just leave me alone
I would be patient but it takes so long
I dont want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day
Chorus
If youve got a vision
Then I dont want to see
If youve got a notion
Dont waste it on me

Squeeze Me In
More info about this song in the song database
Honey, I know you got a good job
Youre out there making all that dough
They keep you late working that overtime
And I dont ever see you no more
I guess youre not checking your message machine
Seems like youre never in
But Ive got a hunch if we can just do lunch
I could get your attention again
Bridge:
Whoever said its a mans world
Dont know what hes talking about
Youve got me working around the clock
Honey, trying to figure you out
I know time is money
But theres more to life honey
Than how much you can spend
Youve got to make a little time for the good times
Honey, can you squeeze me in?
Chorus:

Honey, can you squeeze me in?
Ive got it circled in red on the calendar, baby
You told me that tonights the night
Ive got the champagne chilled
Ive got a gourmet meal, soft music and candlelight
I try to get you on the phone I get stuck on hold
I guess you keep getting sidetracked
Ive been faxing you love notes all day long
But you dont ever fax me back

Love Or Money
Just dont look, no matter what they say
Dont let her get to you, make her go away
But youre only human
And the best laid plans of men go astray
So all your good sense
Goes out the door
When you see that girl walk across the floor
Too late youve seen her
Youve had a glimpse of paradise
Chorus
You never want to have to choose
Is it love or money now
Even if you win you lose
Is it love or money now
Ill close my eyes, I dont want to see you
Just go ahead say what you will
And Ill agree
I dont want illusions
Dont want confusions anymore
Chorus
Is it love or money, I said love or money
That can make your dreams come true
I know it sounds so funny
But its always love or money
That makes you do the crazy things that you do

Rose Coloured Glasses
(scott mccarl)
Im an ivory tower boy
Never quite put down the toys
I always think the best of them all
I see only sunny skies
With the wool over my eyes
I never seem to find the crack or the fault
I see it all through rose coloured glasses
And I only see what matters to me
I see you all through rose coloured classes, yeah
The road that I chose is coloured rose
Its a funny sort of haze
All full of dreams of yesterdays
And the dreams are so real you could cry
And you know the grass is green
On the side youve never seen
And the thought is what helps you get by
I see it all through rose coloured glasses
And I only see what matters to me
I see you all through rose coloured classes, yeah
The road that I chose is coloured rose
As I grow a little more
Wonder what this all is for
And the brass ring is slipping away
I would keep the glasses near
And would shed a quiet tear
And maybe smile inside as I say
I see it all through rose coloured glasses
And I only see what matters to me
I see you all through rose coloured classes, yeah
The road that I chose is coloured...

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

Youve done enough today

Walk Out In The Rain
By bob dylan and helena springs
Walk out if it doesnt feel right,
I can tell youre only lying.
If youve got something better tonight
Then dont mess up my mind with your crying.
Just walk out in the rain,
Walk out with your dreams,
Walk out of my life if you dont feel right.
And catch the next train;
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain.
I have come from so far away
Just to put a ring on your finger.
If youve said all that youve got to say
Then please dont feel the need to linger.
Chorus
Its raining outside of the city;
My poor feet have walked till theyre sore.
If you dont want my love, its a pity.
I guess I cant see you no more.

In Love With Yourself
He came over to my house
Didnt even knock, he just walked inside
And when I didnt want to talk
He said, oh god, what a lot of bullshit.
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And I said, youve got a lot of nerve
Coming here after all of the times
That youve tried to pull the wool
Over my eyes and my ears and nose and mouth and...
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And he said, youve got a lot of nerve
Painting me like Im the villain.
What about all of those words, like hes just a friend?
Oh god, what a lot of bullshit...
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And I said, youve got a lot of nerve,
After all, it wasnt me who left.
And now youre sleeping with that girl
That you used to say that you have always hated.
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And we took off all of our clothes
Had a lot of sex and then fell asleep
And when I finally awoke
I held him close and I whispered in his ear and said,
dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And he said, i know, dont you think I know?

I Dont Want Your Love
I, dont mind, if youre keeping someone else behind,
I, dont care, cuz youve got something I can share,
Hey, take your chance, even if its only -
Only while were dancing in the light, of your second sight
Because when you understand me you might feel good around me now.
I dont want your love to bring me down.
I dont want your love so turn it around.
I, wont turn you out, if youve got someone else -
Someone else you care about, because you, must realize,
My obsessive fascination is in your imagination (now pick it up)...
I dont want your love to bring me down
I dont want your love so turn it around
(I dont what your love, I dont what your love)
Your rythym is the power - to move me
Its something you control - completely,
I dont want your love,
I dont want your love.
(I dont what your love)
-
I, like noise, cuz I like waking up the house
I cannot sit down, I cant shut my mouth,
But when you understand me,
You might feel good around me (now back it up)...
(chorus) (chorus)
I dont want your love.

To erase the past

Dont you
You ever let me know how
And I could break your heart down as I tell you that youve burned out
Dont you
You want to let it go
Oh, I might scream and shout now as I feel you pressing down on
Dont you
You walk upon my heels now
You walk on
And I should call your soul out but I feel Ive gained control now
Dont you
You tell me what to do as you
You twist and turn your thoughts around
Oh, this road its getting long
Stones, dont you
Theyre getting harder and youre slipping slowly further
Youre slipping slowly further
Youre slipping further than youve been before
But I dont need to know how
And I dont need to blow out your candle
Its only burning at both ends
But your moods they wash away
No need to dose your eyes today
You just take your
Your deeper breath youre going
Your deeper breath youre going
Under this time
Its under this time
You, youve got to go now
Wont you, youve got to go not
And dont you, you know it
Dont you, you know it

Come on, everybody!
Get on, with your party!
And dont let nobody say youre wrong.
O.k.
So youve lost control,
But theyll never steal your soul
No way!
That theyre gonna spoil your fun.
Greedy men, in far off places,
Dont be afraid to show your faces.
We know what youve done is wrong,
But clap your hands, and sing along now!
Dont even bother, to let us know,
When you flick the switch and stop the show,
Because the party has begun,
And well still be dancing, as-you-run-now!

Oh no, dont think that Im not scared,
Oh no, dont think that Im prepared.
I just take each day as it comes,
Because it may - it may -,

And I know they dont care about you,

Its Only Money
You dont believe in love
You dont believe in hatred
Put your money in the bank
Its the only way to save it
You try to make a buck
But you havent made a penny
You need a little luck
But you know you wont get any
You dont believe in god
You dont believe in glory
Youve got a brother in the clinic
Tells the same kind of story
If he had another life
Hed know what would be waiting
If he had another soul
He could sell it all to satan
You dont believe in war
You dont believe in jesus
Got a sister in new york
She knows how she pleases
Walking the streets
On the south side of the city
Trying to make ends meet
Isnt that a pity...for money

One tear lasts

And then Ill ask you why
I dont need heroes
I dont need this name
I dont need favours
And I know I dont need fame
We dont need opinions and rumours
We dont need a voix in the dark
We dont need to listen to strangers
We dont need to tear out our hearts

One secret
One lie is

One nightmare
One rumour
Your shame is

Dont You Want Me
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on youve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But dont forget its me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I cant believe it when I hear that you wont see me
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I dont believe you when you say that you dont need me
Its much too late to find
You think youve changed your mind
Youd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew Id find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think its time I lived my life on my own
I guess its just what I must do
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
