Livin In The City
Slam blam glam, squeaky jam.
Ram, blam, slam, about a gram, sketchy scam.Police ma'am.
Make a livin to be dyin in the city.
Hand to hand, Wham bam, Super Cam, Euber damned. sticky jam.
Make a livin to be dyin in this giant, cold hard, here's my card,
ain't nothin but a glass shard, city.
What a pity, not lookin all too pretty, down to the nitty gritty.
Ain't a livin to be dyin in the city.
You're flyin blind, two steps behind, you're in a bind, no peace of mind, done lost your mind, it's a pity. in this daily grind. Make your livin to be dyin in this giant
city.
Glam, slam, scam, Superman, Stan The Man, sleazy Sam, Flim flam sham.
Ain't a livin to be dyin in this giant, hot shot, what sup,
great Scott, burnt up, city.

Dyin' Ain't Much Of A Livin'
A whiskey bottle comforts me
And tells me not to cry
While a full moon says a prayer for me
I try to close my eyes
But the night's there to remind me
Of the guns and the early graves
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep
To sing an outlaw's serenade
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
The desert's been a friend to me
It covers me by night
And a snakebite's not my enemy
But it taught me how to fight
All this fame don't bring you freedom
Though it wears a thin disguise
When an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
And I hope someone will pray for me
When it's my turn to die... PRAY FOR ME !!!
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

Lead vocal: micky dolenz
I told my doctor somethings wrong with me
She said gimme forty dollars and well look and see
Hop up on the table now well take some blood
Find out what youre dyin of
She called me in the morning and she said now herere the facts
Well, it isnt your liver and it isnt your back
Its not your blood sugar or the asian flu
Thats not what killing you
Youre dyin of a broken heart
It really wasnt very smart
You lived through nixon and a drug or two
Just to get your due
Dyin of a broken heart
I called my analyst said I was a mess
He said gimme hundred dollars and well take a test
Lie down on the couch and tell me what you dream
It really isnt what it seems
Youre dyin
Youre dyin of a broken heart
And Im cryin
It really wasnt very smart
I lived through nixon and a drug or two
Just to get your due
Dyin of a broken heart
Youre dyin
Youre dyin of a broken heart
And Im cryin
It really wasnt very smart
I lived through nixon and a drug or two
Just to get your due

Youre dyin of a broken heart

Tryin To Get Over You
You could have given me a million reasons why
But it wouldnt change a thing
You said it all when you said goodbye
And you took off your wedding ring
Ive been tryin to get over you
Ive been spending time alone
Ive been tryin to get over you
But itll take dyin to get it done
All my friends keep tryin to fix me up
They say I need somebody new
When it comes to love, Ive all but given up
cause life dont mean nothin without you
Ive been tryin to get over you
Ive been spending time alone
Ive been tryin to get over you
But itll take dyin to get it done

Nothing 'bout Me
In my head,
on a surgeons table
take my fingerprints if you are able
pick my brains
pick my pockets
steal my eyebrows and come back for the sockets
run any kind of test from a to z
but you still know nothin bout me
Run my name through your computer
mention me in passing to your college tutor
check my records check my facts
check if ive paid my income tax
pull over everything in my cv
but you still know nothin bout me
still know nothin bout me
Only to me, the looks of my history
im a simple man
theres no big mystery
cold weather
ten years ago
just like this
a lonely man like me
gets a cold
Search my house with a fine tooth comb
turn over everything becasue i wont be at home
take out your microscope and tell me what you see
but you still know nothin bout me
still know nothin bout me
still know zip about me
still know nothin bout me

Nothin' At All
I suppose, for a man like you
To be the love of my life
That's a lot to ask
But somehow, I feel the right
So here I am, hey babe, with the tables turned
The fear of getting burned, your hand's been cold
I want everything
Or nothin' at all, at all
Every, every, everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you
I want everything
Or nothin' at all
I may be wrong, I've been wrong before
But I won't be a fool
Not for you this time
There's some things I'm not going through
So here I stand, hey babe, with a lot to lose
But I wanna see the truth
Through your walls
I want everything
Or nothin' at all, at all
Every, every, everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you
I want everything
Or nothin' at all
You told me you love me, you told me you need me
I hear all the words that you say, what you need to do
I'm tired of feeling there's nothin' more to believe in
I won't wait for you to break my heart
So here I am, hey baby, with the tables turned
And the fear of getting burned
Your hand's been cold
I want everything
Or nothin' at all, at all
I want everything
I want everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you
I want everything
Or nothin' at all, at all
I want everything, I want everything
Now what am I to do?
You made me fall for you, you, you, you, you
Oh, nothin' at all
I said nothin' at all
I miss ya baby
You're my everything
I want everything - I want everything

All Or Nothing At All
Said you'd give me just a little kiss
and you'd rock me for a little while
Well you'd slip me just a piece of it
Listen up my little child
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all
Sid you'd take me for a little dance
If youu had a little time on your hands
Well all I do is push and shove
Just to get a little piece of your love
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all
Well now I don't wanna be greedy
But when it coms sto lvoe there ain't no doubt
You just ain't gonna get what y you want
With one foot in bed and one foot out
You got to give it all or nothin' at all
All or nothin' at all
Now I only got a little time
So if you're gonna change your mind
Then shout out what you're thinkin' of
If what you're thinkin' of is love
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want to have it all or nothin' at all

Cryin
There was a time
When I was so broken hearted
Love wasnt much of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin kind
Now listen
All I want is someone I cant resist
I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed
I was cryin when I met you
Now Im tryin to forget you
Love is sweet misery
I was cryin just to get you
Now Im dyin cause I let you
Do what you do - down on me
Now theres not even breathin room
Between pleasure and pain
Yeah you cry when were makin love
Must be one and the same
Its down on me
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
Its been on my mind
Girl I gotta say
Were partners in crime
You got that certain something
What you give to me
Takes my breath away
Now the word out on the street
Is the devils in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
Its a fire I cant resist
I was cryin when I met you
Now Im tryin to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin just to get you
Now Im dyin cause I let you
Do what you do to me
cause what you got inside
Aint where your love should stay
Yeah, our love, sweet love, aint love
If you give your heart away
I was cryin when I met you
Now Im tryin to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin just to get you
Now Im dyin just to let you
Do what you do what you do down to me,
Baby, baby, baby
I was cryin when I met you
Now Im tryin to forget you
Your love is sweet misery
I was cryin when I met you
Now Im dyin cause I let you
Do what you do down to , down to, down to, down to

Ain't Nothing You Can Do

When you got a headache
An you try to soothe the pain
Go right back to sleep
And you'll feel all right again
When ya got a backache
Little rubbin' will see you through
When you got a heartache
There ain't nothin' you can do
There ain't nothin' you can do
There ain't nothin' you can do
When you got a heartache
There ain't nothin' you can do
A man can't break a stone
So he tried another lick
Iceman can't break his ice, Lord
So he tries another pick
An electric lights go out
Candle light will see you through
When you got a heartache

There ain't nothin' you can do
When you got a heartache
There ain't nothin' you can do

Bachelor Boy
When I was young my father said
Son I have something to say
And what he told me Ill never forget
Until my dyin day.
He said son you are a bachelor boy
And thats the way to stay.
Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin day
When I was sixteen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be.
But I rememberd just in time,
What my daddy said to me.
He said son you are a bachelor boy
And thats the way to stay.
Son, you be a bachelor boy until your dyin day
As time goes by I propably will
Meet a girl and fall in love
Then Ill get married have a wife and a child
And theyll be my turtle doves.
But until then Ill be a bachelor boy and thats the way Ill stay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy,
Until my dyin day.
But until then Ill be a bachelor boy and thats the way Ill stay,
Happy to be a bachelor boy,

Tied To The 90's
We're tied to the 90's
in the middle
It's terribly frightening
I'm takin' it fast
Takin' it slow
There's thunder and lightning
It's terribly frightening
Lord knows
Where it goes
But I know
That if so
Well I want to tell you
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
But we're tied to the 90's
Tied to the 90's
Remember the 80's
(They were something)
Were worse than the 90's
We're stuck in a path
Where fashion is fast
And nothin' is lasting
It's all ghetto blasting
And Lord knows
Where it goes
But I know
That if so well I want to tell you
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
Tied to the 90's

Slow Healing Heart
When I left I left walkin wounded
I made my escape from the rain
Still a prisoner of hurt
I had months worth of work
Just freein my mind of the pain
I had hours of sittin alone in the dark
Listenin to sad songs and comin apart
Lord knows I made crying an art
Woe is a slow healing heart
Chorus:
A slow healing heart dyin to mend
Longin for love lonely again
But when the spirit is broken
And the memories start
Nothin moves slower
Than a slow healing heart
How I prayed for blind faith to lead me
To places where Im not afraid
Now Im doin fine both in body and mind
Some hurts take longer to fade
But theres a part of my feelings ever on guard
Against looks that are tender and words that are hard
cause I still remember those cutting remarks
Oh its painful a slow healing heart
Chorus:
A slow healing heart dyin to mend
Longin for love lonely again
When the spirit is broken
And the memories start
You know nothin moves slower
Than a slow healing heart
Nothin moves slower
Than a slow healing heart

My friends tell me, that Ive been such a fool,
And I have to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin you.
Drown myself in sorrow, and I look at what youve down.
But nothin seems to change, the bad times stay the same,
And I cant run.

I Do It For You
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
