The love of one's own sex is precious, for it is neither provoked by vanity nor retained by flattery; it is genuine and sincere.

Are You Sincere
(words & music by wayne walker)
Are you sincere when you say I love you
Are you sincere when you say you love me too
Oh and are you really mine every day, all the time
Ive gotta know which way to go
Will our love grow, are you sincere
Are you sincere when you say I love you
Honey, are you sincere when you say you love me too
And are you really mine every day, all the time
Ive gotta know which way to go
Will our love grow, are you sincere

Oh Vanity
Oh vanity oh vanity
You only like to read
About beauty
Little about pain
Or hateful disdain
Am I so vain
Am I so shallow
To refuse a
Dark place to go
I'll lend a hand
To those in need
I'll give my love
While looking up
Is this not positivity
Not vanity

Who provoke first?
When I plucked I was pricked.
When I entered I was barked at.
When I milked I was kicked.
They all provoked me.
Who provoked them?

I am a politician
How many arrows of sarcasm are there in your armour?
Waste them upon me,
As I have lost my self-respect
Somewhere in the world of flattery,
Now I have become an object of derision in every eye,
My day begins with flattery and it ends with the same,
I am the most shameless person on the earth,
I can put anything at stake to grind my axe,
I am the one who is an eyesore to the people,
They hate me and call me filthy beast,
But it doesn't matter
As long as my interest is served,
Inspite of their hatred
In the election,
I manage their votes,
For I soften them by my servile flattery,
They will never cease hating me,
And I shall never flattering them,
For politics is my religion,
And flattery is my faith,
I am a politician.

Under The Skin of Those Misguided
Those who chose to poke their jokes,
At the expense of sincere folks
Seem to be missing in action these days.
Perhaps realizing they are
It never pays for those intentions made,
To select those defenseless and unknowing
Of the extent or depth of one's misdeeds.
Because
Those same misdeeds done,
Have a way of crawling under the skin...
Of those misguided.
To teach lessons to leave unforgiving,
Mental treatments difficult to diagnose.
And the best medication can not numb,
Or relieve
The consistency of a permanent stinging.
Especially when those acts provoked,
To joke and poke sincere folks discreetly
Usually develop from one's unconsciousness.
Making it hard to prescribe a process for specific healing.

And because of the reunion I think we've got more energy and enthusiasm than we've ever had. And it's genuine. I think the fans can detect when you're genuine, when you love what you do, and we love to be there on stage. That's what we thrive on.

Genuine Praises
Praises are genuine when given,
With no intent for any return.
I love her and my love is genuine
As I continue though ignored.

Precious
(orbison)
You are not just another sweet human
Youre precious, precious to me
You are not just my love for the moment
Youre precious, precious to me
Are you some kind of angel
Who lost your way to a star?
Wonder why, why me?
Dont you even see how wonderful you are?
You are not just someone I can talk with
Youre precious, precious to me
You are not just someone I can talk with
Youre precious, precious to me

Flattery And Praise
flattery comes
from your
teeth out
praise comes
from inside
the heart
an appreciation
that is sincere
something
that you do not
believe
because we are
oceans and oceans
apart
because i cannot
touch you
because i
have no wings
you must have
thought of
drift woods
and sails
without rudders
of men
without hearts

I'M Sorry
I no u get worried with my shouts and my screams
fed up with my theory's and disturbing dreams
My un provoked mood swings leave u confused
My negative attitude leaves your heart bruised..
I no you must think that im pushing you away
I'm not, it's my anger making me this way
I no at times it don't seem like im trying
Cause more than not im the reason your crying
In a rush of rage I say things I don't mean
But I never mean it however harsh it may seem
I hate myself for making you cry
Cause when I do I want to die
I don't deserve you for that Im sure
Your eyes are caring and heart is pure
I couldn't imagine us been apart
You healed my pain with your loving heart
Im sorry for the hurt and every tear
My love for you is so sincere
Our journey together has long to go
Im deeply sorry I love you so

Rare, Precious & Gone
Cry baby boy, not tears of joy
The one you held is no longer your toy
Shes got her new boots and her make up on
You can call her your friend
But not your lover again
Shes made it clear as air that this affair is at an end
So what are you doing holding on?
Dont you see shes
Rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
She was soft in your hands, now shes shattered your plans
Im sympathetic but youve got to understand
You tried to squeeze her somewhere
She just dont belong
She was being sincere when she breathed in your ear
As long as there were stars in the night sky shed be near
Even angels get it wrong!
Wont you see shes
Rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Its a subtle trap
Seeding guilt in her mind
But she aint taking your crap
This time
Boy youre out on a line...
Shes a queen among women, a child among queens
The finest thing that your lovesick eyes have ever seen
Shes a rose without a thorn
Shes a peach, shes a prize
A gift in disguise
Shes graceful and colourful and when she grows
Shell be wise
But most of all my friend, shes gone
Gone, gone gone!
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Rare, precious and shes gone
Yes, shes rare, precious and shes gone
Shes rare, precious and shes gone
Gone, gone gone...

Vain
You're so vain.
Talking of your plans of change.
A world you think you'll conquer.
With eloquent words.
Of mind you think we are weak.
You play and pander to all prejudices we now slander.
You think that we have screwed up,
so now you've come to start the build up.
You look so smug.
Your partners outlook is brash and bugs.
You preach of change you feel we need.
We're not half as dumb as you believe.
We will prevail as you fail.
Humiliated and broken you'll bereve.
We've seen your vanity, it bleeds on through.
You're rich in vanity short on view.
Now we're gonna get rid of you.
You think you'll save the world.
I think your plans destruction hurls.
With your leadership we'll die for sure.
Leave us now so we can find,
someone who's genuine and refined.
It's hard to believe to you so many are so blind.

Have pride and vanity
Service and sacrifice can be the base
For your pride and not your caste or creed.
Have pride that you have helped someone rise
And not that you have conquered someone.
Pride is that one feels about oneself high.
Show vanity for your simplicity;
Show not vanity for your affluence.
Show vanity for your affinity;
Show not vanity for your elegance.
Vanity is that one shows oneself high.
