Shiny Cage
Hiding faces turning pages
Still they read and read
Double deckers full of smokers
Look whos gone to seed
Well the suns getting higher
Think Ill take a flyer
The thought of its causing me pain
Ooh! shiny cage
Talk a walk under the subway
See an old school chum
Window shopping for a short while
Then well have some fun
Well the shops closing early
Everywheres deserted
Hello and down comes the rain
Oooh! shiny cage
Well do the town tonight
I know some girls then stop off for a bite
No strings to tie my kite
Well living for the night
No way to spend a life -- ooh!

Inconsolable Man
These days Im looking like a pitiful sight
Got a suicide smile on my face every night
I walk alone
Talk to myself
Shout angry words up to the sky
People stop and stare
Like Im out of my head
But what do they know
About the tears that I cry
And I cry yes I cry and thats why
Oooh oooh Im an inconsolable man
Oooh oooh since shes gone away thats what I am
Oooh oooh Im an inconsolable man
Nobody understands
An inconsolable man
I stop into a church and I waste another prayer
Well if theres someone listen to me
No ones talkin up there
So I walk down a street
Where lonely men sleep
With what money can buy
I tell myself that life aint over just yet
I can learn to forget if only I try
And I try and I try but its a lie
Oooh oooh Im an inconsolable man
Oooh oooh since shes gone away thats what I am
Oooh oooh Im an inconsolable man
Nobody understands
An inconsolable man
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody understands
And inconsolable man
Oooh oooh Im an inconsolable man
Oooh oooh since shes gone away thats what I am
Oooh oooh Im an inconsolable man
Nobody understands
An inconsolable man

This Morning The Rain is Sieving Down
This morning the rain is sieving down
while I drive my motorbike
to town to get a few things
in the shops
and I have to visit the Internet café.
The drops of rain is somewhat blinding
and my leather jacket is nice and hot
and the helmet guards my head,
but my jean is really soaked
and when I stop
it’s a great thunderstorm
with rain pouring down.
People walk with umbrellas
while some
with shopping bags above their heads
run to the nearest shelter
and here and there
a car is waiting for another to pull out
in the full parking aria
and I wish that the rain
will disappear for a while.

To the Reader
As you read, a white bear leisurely
pees, dyeing the snow
saffron,
and as you read, many gods
lie among lianas: eyes of obsidian
are watching the generations of leaves,
and as you read
the sea is turning its dark pages,
turning
its dark pages.

Life In A Small Town
No one would have guessed
Things would end up this way
Living in a small town
Everyone should have known
But to the town’s surprise
They never suspected this
There was no warning to be had
And no warning to be taken
But now there will be stories
Told in the halls of school
And in the pews of church
About a girl gone wrong
She lived a modest life
Attending all the social events
Including the pasture parties
But never being invited to one
Nobody noticed her
She was just another face
That rotated around
Drinking and socializing
But they should have known
The quietest are the worst
Hiding everything
And never letting anyone in
Then there was one day
That changed things
And no matter what they say
They should have known
She took her list of names
And read them loud and clear
In front of the school board
On just who were having affairs
But it didn’t stop at that
She walked up to those
Who called her stupid
And let them have it
She named every misstep
Causing disarray in the town
Breaking infallible hearts
And freeing captured ones
In a town proud of family
Barely a soul is left
From the disillusions
That had been caused
But for those left behind
There is lesson learned
One should not judge
For the audience may be me

Blackout
Oh you, you walk on past
Your lips cut a smile on your face
Your scalding face
To the cage, to the cage
She was a beauty in a cage
Too, too high a price
To drink rotting wine from your hands
Your fearful hands
Get me to a doctors Ive been told
Someones back in town the chips are down
I just cut and blackout
Im under japanese influence
And my honours at stake
The weathers grim, ice on the cages
Me, Im robin hood and I puff on my cigarette
Panthers are steaming, stalking, screaming
If you dont stay tonight
I will take that plane tonight
Ive nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Ill kiss you in the rain
Kiss you in the rain
Kiss you in the rain
In the rain
Get me to the doctor
Get me off the streets (get some protection)
Get me on my feet (get some direction)
Hot air gets me into a blackout
Oh, get me off the streets
Get some protection
Oh get me on my feet (wo wo)
While the streets block off
Getting some skin exposure to the blackout (get some protection)
Get me on my feet (get some direction, wo-ooh!)
Oh get me on my feet
Get me off the streets (get some protection)
Get a second
Get wo wo
Yeah
Get a second ? breath on advice ?
And a second blow
Blackout

Lover Boy
Ill tell you from the start
Hes gonna break your heart
You cant stop the lover boy
You cant stop the lover boy
Hes gonna tell you lies
But you wont realize
Because you cant stop the lover boy
You cant stop the lover boy
Hes got a thing in his head
Its from a book hes read
Its got a funny title,
It tells you how to be vital
He took a lot of time
Over every line
Because its guaranteed
To satisfy
Hes gonna knock em dead
The boys got that book read
You cant stop the lover boy
You cant stop the lover boy
Right from the clothes he wears
The way he combs his hair
You cant stop him now, because he knows all the tricks
He used to have a problem but he got it fixed
He took a small apartment
Above a shoe department
And he could see from his window
All the lights in the street glow
Theres a club on the corner
And tonight he will go there
To find a new affair
So all you ladies beware
Hes got to have a good time in the city
Hes got to have a good time every night
Hes gonna love em and leave em, cheat and decieve em
Hes gonna show em whos wrong and whos right

It doesnt matter anyway
Man of a 1000 faces, man of a 1000 faces, man of a 1000 faces, whos the man

Hey Stephen - Taylor Swift
Hey, Stephen, I know looks can be deceivin',
But I know I saw a light in you.
As we walked, we were talkin', and I didn't say
Half the things I wanted to.
Of all the girls tossin' rocks at your window,
I'll be the one waitin' there, even when it's cold.
Hey, Stephen, boy, you might have me believin'
I don't always have to be alone.
(Chorus)
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel,
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so
Come feel this magic I've been feelin' since I met you,
Can't help it if there's no one else,
Oooh, I can't help myself.
Hey, Stephen, I've been holdin' back this feelin',
So I've got some things to say to you.
I seen it all so I thought, but I never seen
Nobody shine the way you do.
The way you walk, the way you talk, the way you say my name,
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change.
Hey, Stephen, why are people always leavin',
I think you and I should stay the same.
(Chorus)
They're dimmin' the street lights, you're perfect for me,
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waitin' alone now, so come on and come out,
And pull me near.
Shine, shine, shine.
Hey, Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons
Why I should be the one you choose.
All those other girls, well, they're beautiful,
But would they write a song for you?
I can't help it if you look like an angel,
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so
Come feel this magic I've been feelin' since I met you,
Can't help it if there's no one else,
Oooh, I can't help myself.
If you look an angel,
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain, so
Come feel this magic I've been feelin' since I met you,
Can't help it if there's no one else,
Oooh, I can't help myself,
Myself, can't help myself,
I can't help myself.

Need Your Loving Tonight
No I'll never look back in anger
No I'll never find me an answer
You promised me you'd keep in touch
I read your letter and it hurt me so much
I said I'd never never be angry with you
I don't wanna feel like a stranger no
Because I'd rather stay out of danger
I read your letter so many times
I got your meaning between the lines
I said I'd never never be angry with you
I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her
I only hope as time goes on I'll forget her
My bodies aching can't sleep at night
I'm to exhausted to start a fight
And if I see her with another guy
I'll eat my heart out because I love her
Love her love her love her
Come on baby let's get together
I'll love you baby I'll love you forever
I'm trying hard to stay away
What made you change? What did I say?
Oooh I need your loving tonight
Oooh I need your loving
Oooh I need your loving
Oooh I need your loving babe tonight
Hit me
Oooh I need your loving tonight
No I'll never look back in anger
No I'll never find me an answer
Can't be no warning how could I guess?
I'll have to learn to forgive and forget
Oooh I need your loving
Oooh I need your loving
Oooh I need your loving tonight

Ghost Town
This town is becoming like a ghost town;
Many of our local shops are closing down.
Once upon a time, this town was really hopping,
But now people go elsewhere for their shopping.
The life from our town has been sucked out,
And nowadays there is hardly anyone about.
Local people go to other towns and cities:
That it has ended up this way, is a real pity.
The town's population is rapidly growing,
But trade in our shops is rapidly slowing.
Many units stand empty for years and years:
Owners found the rents were just way too dear.
We need some life breathed back into town;
We need to turn this situation back around.
Of help for new businesses, we need much more,
So that our town can be the place it was before.

Only fool
It has nice reference
We can draw some inference
But for argument sake at once
Life in cage is just by chance
Poetically you are attached
Bonded together as searched
You have left behind everything
Just to stay together and seek something
Life must not be compared like jail
It will never make you fail
It may create problem and hurdles
But which area is free from troubles?
When someone sys I want to be in your embrace
That means it is total surrender and willingness
All happiness shines and reflects on face
You are in happy mood in any case
When you reassure and submit
There is everything to greet
You have enthusiasm to meet
Certainly you have enough strength to walk on feet
There is liberty and freedom
Thought of Living separate occurs seldom
It is journey to be taken along
Even if one goes right or wrong
That is why life is compared to two wheels
Both must pull the cart with thrills
It involves pain, agony, tears and joy
Life is meant to be spent together and enjoy
No one may take care to read about you
What you did in your life and how you went through!
At the most some of the worth noting events may be highlighted
Occasional reference will be made and sighted
So love and spend the rest of the life with full thrust
As some of the steps may need full trust
Life will then be enjoyed in full
If spent aimless then you can only be called fool

Shiny Star
I look upon the sky
In search of a star
I see comets fly
And stars shine
Oh shiny star
Shiny star that is so far
I wish my life
Shined as bright as you
I glance upon the starry sky
In awe of the shiny star
While the comet flies
And that star shines luminously
Oh shiny star
Shiny star that is so far
If only my life
Shined as bright as you

Wing Pages Of The Butterfly
at the nursery
while people
are at purchase
and at transactions
a blue butterfly
comes by
and opens its pages to me
swift and quick
and it says to me:
'Read! Read!
Read my pages! '
'I can’t read, '
I say,
amused
at this brash butterfly
'Read and write!
Read and write
about me,
and all flitting butterflies
Read
and write, you silly! '
it commands
And so I read
and I copy
and these are the words
the words from those
pages
the butterfly
holds up to me

People Who Read People Magazine
(kinky friedman)
Well, Im here to say I got turned away from studio 54
Back to neon lights and lonely nights and saw-dust on the floor
And if she ever loved me, she dont love me anymore,
And if anyone should ask me, heres who Im singing for:
For the people who read people magazine,
For the soap opera lovers, for the home-town bowling team,
For everybody everywhere whos ever lost a dream,
For the people who read people who read people magazine.
Now if youre too new york for texas, too texas for l.a.
You been chasing trends like rainbow ends but youre always just a song away
And if the white house wouldnt have ya, play in every little honky-tonk and bar
The good lord made the heavens, ah but he never made a star.
No, its the people who read people magazine,
Its the soap opera lovers, its the home-town bowling team,
Its everybody everywhere whos ever lost a dream,
For the people who read people who read people magazine.
And to tell you the truth this telephone booth gets lonesome in the rain,
But son, Im 21 in nashville and Im 43 in maine.
And when your mama gets home, would you tell her I phoned, itd take a life-time to explain
That Im a country-picker with a bumper-sticker that says: god bless john wayne.
And bless the people who read people magazine,
Bless the soap opera lovers, bless the home-town bowling team,
Bless everybody everywhere whos ever lost a dream,
For the people who read people who read people magazine.
Bless the people who read people who read people magazine.

Whos Gonna Stop The Rain
Written by carl sturken - evan rogers
(oh, oh, oh)
There is no rose without a thorn
No rain without the storm
(oh, oh, oh)
There is no laughter without tears
No wisdom without years
(oh, oh, oh)
In a world gone crazy
Torn between the roads
That we must choose
Win or lose
If every soul should lose its way
If every face should lose its name
Tell me whos gonna stop the rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
Each day another boy and girl
Sets foot into this world
(oh, oh, oh)
One reaches out to touch the sky
One never learns to fly
(oh, oh, oh)
Where is it written in the stone
That any child should walk alone
Out on their own?
If no one tries to end this game
Or find a way to ease the pain
Tell me whos gonna stop the rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
Whos gonna stop
The rain?
I said whos gonna stop the rain?
Hey, hey, yeah
How many rivers must we cross before we learn
That the flood is rising high
And the bridges all have burned
Each time another dream is washed into the sea
Its another piece of you
Its another piece of
Me
Oh yeah
(oh, oh, oh)
Sure as the blood runs through your veins
Sure as the falling rain, oh yeah
(oh, oh, oh)
Well taste the tears of each defeat
The bitter and the sweet, yeah, oh yeah
(oh, oh, oh)
As the days grow colder
Wonder if well ever see the sun
When winter comes, yeah
If no one stands to take the weight
If no one answers to the blame
Tell me whos gonna stop the rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
Whos gonna stop the rain?
If every soul should lose its way
If every face should lose its name
If no one tries to end this game
Or find a way to ease the pain
Whos gonna stop the rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
If no one stands to take the weight
If no one answers to the blame
Tell me whos gonna stop?
Whos gonna stop
The rain?
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh, oh)
Whos gonna stop the ?

Can't Stop Now
I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stood here dithering around
Well I know I said I'd wait around till you need me
But I have to go, I hate to let you down
But I can't stop now
I've got trouble of my own
Cos I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk
I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stood here withering away
Well I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind
But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say
That I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
Cos I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk
To no one back home
I've got troubles of my own
And I can't slow down for no one in town
No I can't stop now
And I can't slow down for no one in town
And I can't stop now for no one
