Nobodys Perfecked
Nobodys perfecked thats so true,
Not even me not even you,
Not even him or her next door,
Cos everybodys got some flaw.
If I was perfecked then Id boast
That Im much better than the most
Who fink theyve never sinned at all,
Yet still tell lies both great and small
Nobodys perfecked that makes sense,
Not even those with tons of friends,
Not even those with enemies,
Cos everybodys hard to please.
If I was perfecked Id be king
To rule the world and everything
And folks would listen all day long
As if my heart could do no wrong.
Nobodys perfecked so they say,
Thats why to Jesus Christ we pray,
Thats why folks call upon His Name,
Cos without Him lifes not the same.
If I was perfecked but I aint,
Although I try to be a saint,
And when I try with all my might,
Praise God I sometimes do things right!
Nobodys perfecked, thats the truth,
But God forgives Christ is the proof.
So pray like I did long ago,
God grant me grace that I might grow.
I know Gods grace we dont deserve,
But each soul has a learning curve.
God help me now, both night and day.
Cos Im not perfecked yet, O.K.?

Aint Nobodys Business If I Do
By porter grainger and everett robbins
There aint nothing I can do, or nothing I can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So Im gonna do just what I want to anyway,
And dont care if you all despise me.
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
If I go to church on sunday
And I shimmy down on monday,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
And if my friend aint got no money
And I say, all right, take all of mine honey,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
If I lend her my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
I would rather my gal would hit me
Than to haul right up and quit me.
It aint nobodys business if I do.
I know that she wont call no copper
If she gets beat up by her poppa.
It aint nobodys business if I do, lord no.
Well, it aint nobodys business if I do.

Nobodys Fool
From the bright busy streets of the charing cross road
To the dark little alleys in old soho
From the smart noisy clubs where everybody goes
To the dark little streets that nobody knows
I couldnt care if the people dont notice me
They wouldnt know that I really exist
Im nobodys shelter, Im nobodys cover
Im nobodys lover, and nobodys friend
Im so use to lying and pretending
Im nobodys fool and Im nobodys friend
I can go for a walk on a crowded street
And see millions of faces staring at me
Some of them smiling, some of them glare
But most of them dont even know that Im there
Thats how I want to be cause no one belongs to me
Im nobodys fool and Im nobodys friend
Nobody pleads for me, nobody bleeds for me
Im nobodys fool and Im nobodys friend
Im so use to lying and pretending
Im nobodys fool and Im nobodys friend

Nobodys Business
I went out in the darkness
Just searching for someplace to be
Wasnt looking for trouble
I guess it was looking for me
And I knew I was wasting my time
But it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine
I was taking some comfort
I needed a break from the rain
I guess I was mistaken
And someone remembered my name
But I knew I was doin just fine
And it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine
Well I guess for some
Revenge is sweet
Though it be once removed
I hope you feel better
I dont know what you proved
Well, yonder comes the emperor, boys
He sure looks fine in blue
I hope you feel better, babe
I know youre scared too
Well it sure makes you wonder
The things that some people will say
They can see black and white but they
Dont seem to notice the gray
What a price for a victimless crime
When it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine
Yeah, it was nobodys business
Nobodys business but mine

Nobodys You
Please dont
Go away dont
Leave me to face the crowds alone
Oh dont you know youre my home
Please stay, just one more night stay
Then if you must move on without me
Wait til my wits are about me
Deep in your heart know though Ill start anew
Nobodys you
I will always compare them always
To you, no they dont stand a chance
Theyll try poor souls but wont come close
Save me, dance close and save me
Truth be known I will not be whole
Without you here to hold
But if you must go like lovers often do
Know nobodys you
Oh if its pleasure I seek then pleasure Ill find
Ill even go so far as to say
A treasure will be mine
But, oh theres gold and then theres
Diamonds my darling
Precious and few a gem of the earth the
Magic of you
Give in, go on and give in
I am what you are to me too
A light in a dark room
Try as they do
Nobodys you
Though they move me too
Nobodys you
No, nobodys you

Why Can't You Be Nicer To Me?
Somebodys screaming
looking at the ceilling
everythings so funny
I dont have the money
people dont even know me
but they know how to show me
Why cant you be nicer to me?
My pride is dying
I think Im all done lying
nobodys sharing
so I stop caring
all alone and walking
nobodys talking
Why cant you be nicer to me?
Well the wind is blowing
where am I going
off a bridge and falling
nobodys calling
on the ground and laying
nobodys praying
Why cant you be nicer to me?

Evrybodys lonesome for somebody else
No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.
Evrybodys pinin for somebody else
But nobodys lonesome for me
Evrybodys crazy bout somebody else
But nobodys crazy bout me
Oh, I shined up my shoes and then I slicked down my hair
Put on my sunday suit, but I aint goin nowhere
Evrybodys lonesome for somebody else
But nobodys lonesome for me.
Evrybodys yearnin for somebody else
But nobodys lonesome for me
Evrybodys fallin for somebody else
But nobodys fallin for me
Now I aint had a kiss since I fell out of my crib
It looks to me like I been cheated out of my rib
Evrybodys lonesome for somebody else
No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.

Nobodys Business
What a fool to step into those shoes
Either way you know they win or lose
You know money talks
Your eyes they aint so blue
You love to watch the green-backs walk
You got a five-buck side-pack
Tell me, tell me someone stop this pain
Its your place I was in a rage insane
I wanted your love so bad
But your eyes are never blue
Droolin over green-back poolin
You got a five-buck side-pack
Well I must have been right about something
Yes to make it to here and to tell you something
Cause nobodys business but my own
Nobodys business but my own
Well I must have been mad about something
Cause Im m a d and I spell it for nothing
Cause nobodys business but my own
Nobodys business but my own
What a fool to step into those shoes
Either way you know they[you? ] win or lose
You know money talks
Your eyes so paralysed
Dont you realise
For love and hate its just too late

On The Run
Everybodys moving way too fast
Before you blink you better find out whos in your path
Pressures building up on every side
In my heart I know that Ive got nothing to hide
What makes you think that youre the only one
Now I know my troubles have just begun
Chorus:
Im on the run, nobodys stopping me
Im on the run, and theres nobody left on my side
Im on the run, I know youre watching me
Theres not enough time to decide
You never know what the night could bring
Every moment all the angels speaking to sing
Why worry just to save your pride
And all the answers are buried so deep inside
Doesnt take a crystal ball to see the truth
Gonna take a miracle to see this thing through
Chorus:
Im on the run, nobodys stopping me
Im on the run, and theres nobody left on my side
Im on the run, I know youre watching me
Theres not enough time to decide

Im on the run, I know youre watching me
Theres not enough time to decide

Set Me Up
Well a thing was said to me
Times your enemy
It may heal a wound, but it wont hide a scar
And the only thing to do
Is to yourself be true
cause a head thats in the clouds wont see the stars
When I was young I never walked away
Id nail my colours to the wall
Though black and white soon turned to shades of grey
There is one thing that I really know for sure
Nobodys gonna set me up
Nobodys gonna set me up
Theres a bitterness in you
cause all you ever do
Is to drag your spirit screaming to the floor
But you gotta make your luck
Before your time is up
And they take you in your box out through the door
But Im not saying I dont care at all
Id rescue you before you drown
But if behind my back they start to talk
Im a tougher kind of man this time around
Nobodys gonna set me up
Nobodys gonna set me up
When you look back and see what you have done
Well was it really that much fun
To laugh and kick the fallen ones
Gonna grow another skin
This ones getting thin
Ive been bitten twice but never lost my nerve
Well you gotta hide the hurt
When people dish the dirt
cause if you dont try nothing thats what you deserve
There are people with their eyes of green
Smiling when you take a fall
Maybe a friend or someone never seen
But even with my back against the wall
Nobodys gonna set me up
Nobodys gonna set me up
People said to me
Times your enemy
It may heal a wound, but it wont hide a scar
Nobodys gonna set me up
Nobodys gonna set me up
And the only thing to do
Is to yourself be true
cause a head thats in the clouds wont see the stars

Its In The Way That You Use It

Its in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
Its in the way that you use it,
Boy dont you know.
And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So dont you ever abuse it,
Dont let it go.
Nobodys right till somebodys wrong.
Nobodys weak till somebodys strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobodys lonely till somebodys gone.

The Birdman
Hopelessly a man starts to feed your day
Once he was there you never looked back
How did you think that his words might just fade away
He seemed harmless enough so you let him in and now youll pay
I cant see him but hes stalking my thoughts
How does it feel when you cant concentrate?
I just stare
All of your daydreams are a seesaw for him to play on
How does it feel when he calls your name
You can plug your ears but its not the same
How does it feel when he pulls you back
Nobodys wrong nobodys right the birdman wouldnt lie
Nobodys wrong nobodys right but I just cant trust him tonight
How do you forget a stranger that plagues your days
We arm ourselves when theres nothing to fear right?
Wrong
How does it feel when it comes to pass theres something there
But its not quite right
How does it feel, does it make you mad?

Nobodys Car
Black volga following me ---
Nobodys car.
Mr. no-one at the wheel of
Nobodys car.
Wet pavements, thin apartments ---
Quiet dissent from darkened doorways.
I want out alive.
Speak up for me if you can.
So, careful how you drive
In tourist city.
Slap in front of my hotel ---
Its nobodys car.
Is that my limousine?
No, its nobodys car.
Are you on routine assignment?
Plastic shades on black-browed eye-hole.
I read this book before.
I even saw the film.
How did the ending go?
(intourist city.)
Black out.
Its a weird scenario.
Ive seen a thousand times before
But only on my video.
Feel my steps quick in the headlights
Of nobodys car.
Down cobbled alley with no exit from
Nobodys car.
Doors slam, two figures silhouette ---
Somewhere before, I feel weve met.
Cant tell you any more.
I agreed to go along with all they asked of me.
Intourist city.
I drive nobodys car.

Fall back, take a look at me
And youll see
Im for real
I feel what only I can feel
And if that dont appeal to you
Let me know
And Ill go
Cuz I flow
Better when my colors show
And thats the way it has to be
Honestly
Cuz creativity
Could never bloom
In my room
Id throw it all away before I lie
So dont call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone Ive got a backbone stronger than yours

I might have fallen for that when I was fourteen
In a little morph green

And several more of these
Now that I see it, I know what I like
So Ill like it if you please
I aint nobodys princess, stuck in sunday school
So Ill help myself to love
And have the whole career
Dont wrap it up, Ill eat it here
Just look at you now, the ultimate guy
Class and wit and style
Once I might have pretended, to be someone else
Attracting you with guile
But now Im not about to dress up, in some other womans shoes
Ive got nothing to lose
So Ill help myself to love,
Gather round and cheer
Dont wrap it up, Ill eat it here

You Better Ask
Written by john curulewski
Lead vocals by john curulewski
I met a little girl sittin in the front
Pardon me miss for seeming quite so blunt
But your beauty and your presence
Just took me by surprise
She said theres a meaning in my sexy stare
But thats my old man thats sittin over there
And thats not the look of love that hes got for you in his eyes
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
I took her home and we was doing nip and tuck
How was I to know that I was out of luck
And before I knew it, the devil took my soul
In two weeks time it seemed to be the steady con
She told me youre about to be a papa, john
And I just looked around and tried to crawl into the nearest hole
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
[instrumental solos]
Well, in two more weeks I started feelin sore
I found myself waiting at my doctors door
He said, son Im sorry but Ive got some slightly less than tragic news
Yeah, it seems youve been sociable with certain shes
Cause youve contracted what we call a social disease
And next time you better ask and use it, no dont refuse
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
Nobodys gonna tell you so next time you just had better ask
You know what youve gotta do
Theres no one else to blame but you
