Back In Your Own Backyard
Al jolson / billy rose / dave dreyer
The bird with feathers of blue
Is waiting for you
Back in your own backyard
Youll see your castles in spain
Through your window pane
Back in your own backyard
Oh you can go to the east
Go to the west
But someday youll come
Weary at heart
Back where you started from
Youll find your happiness lies
Right under your eyes
Back in your own backyard
The bird with feathers of blue
Is waiting for you
Back in your own backyard
Youll see your castles in spain
Through your window pane
Back in your own backyard
Oh you can go to the east
Go to the west
But someday youll come
Weary at heart
Back where you started from
Youll find your happiness lies
Right under your eyes
Back in your own backyard

Backyard Brawl
Got a cut on my thigh, got a nail in my eye
And I'm bleedin' all over the wall
Got a barbed wire bat and a dude on the mat
Ain't getting up soon at all
Got a head full of rage and a belly full of hate
I'm the neighborhood legend that just can't wait
For the backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Don't matter who you are, don't matter what color
Brown or white'll do
But if you're yellow you'll be covered in red
A whole lotta black and blue
Jump off the trailer in a pile full o' guys
Scratching and kicking and pulverized
For the backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Backyard brawl
Another backyard brawl
Only got six teeth but three of those
Are sharp enough to bite off your nose
At the backyard brawl

I Need Your Love
Something deep inside of me
Keeps holding on to your memory
How Ive tried to find someone new
But everywhere I look its you that I see
Dont you know that my whole life has changed
I cant look at the past without feeling the pain
And at night all alone I just cry
And I hope, and I pray youll be
Back by my side
I need your love
Every day seems forever without you
I need your love
Tell me that youll come back to me
All my friends tell me
Ill be ok
That someday Ill forget you
And Ill love once again
But someday seems so far away
And I know I wont make it without you in the end
Tell me how can I go on this way
Knowing that someone else could be
Taking my place
Tell me where in the world would I be
If I wake up each morning and youre not here with me
I need your love
Everyday seems forever without you
I need your love
Tell me that youll come back to me
I need your love
Every day seems forever without you
I need your love
Tell me that youll come back to me
I need your love
Every day seems forever without you
I need your love
Tell me that youll come back to love me

Maybe Someday
Maybe someday youll be satisfied
When youve lost everything youll have nothing left to hide.
When youre through running over things like youre walking cross the tracks,
Maybe youll beg me to take you back.
Maybe someday youll find out everybodys somebodys fool,
Maybe then youll realize what it would have taken to keep me cool.
Maybe someday when youre by yourself alone
Youll know the love that I had for you was never my own.
Maybe someday youll have nowhere to turn,
Youll look back and wonder bout the bridges you have burned.
Youll look back sometime when the lights grow dim
And youll see you look much better with me than you do with him.
Through hostile cities and unfriendly towns,
Thirty pieces of silver, no money down.
Maybe someday, you will understand
That something for nothing is everybodys plan.
Maybe someday youll remember what you felt
When there was blood on the moon in the cotton belt.
When both of us, baby, were going though some sort of a test
Neither one of us could do what we do best.
I should have known better, baby, I should have called your bluff.
I guess I was too off the handle, not sentimental enough.
Maybe someday, youll believe me when I say
That I wanted you, baby, in every kind of way.
Maybe someday youll hear a voice from on high
Sayin for whose sake did you live, for whose sake did you die?
Forgive me, baby, for what I didnt do
For not breakin down no bedroom door to get at you.
Always was a sucker for the right cross.
Never wanted to go home til the last cent was lost.
Maybe someday you will look back and see
That I made it so easy for you to follow me.
Maybe someday therell be nothing to tell.
Im just as happy as you, baby, I just cant say it so well.
Never slumbered or slept or waited for lightning to strike.
Theres no excuse for you to say that we dont think alike.
You said you were going to frisco, stay a couple of months.
I always liked san francisco, I was there for a party once.
Maybe someday youll see that its true
There was no greater love than what I had for you.

Going Back West
I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and youll know
I wasnt satisfied, with living on the side
I started looking around, for a possibility
Listen to my story, of what became of me
I met a businessman
Who said he had some friends back east
So why dont you come along
Well we can help you at least
Well make you into a big star
By playing your guitar
But the joke was on me
They left me flat to see
Going back west
Yes I know Ill make out alright
Going back west
Where my musics playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think Ill do alright
Going back west
Yes I know Ill make out alright
Going back west
Where my musics playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think Ill do alright
Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
I got a lot of promises
They told me not to fret
So we will stand by you
If the going gets rough
But when I started thinking
They didnt even bluff
bout a year has come and gone
And left me standing here
Thinking how it could have been
For still I aint nowhere
They surely took me for a ride
Trampled on my pride
But I hold my head up high
Got no more tears to cry
Going back west
Yes I know Ill make out alright
Going back west
Where my musics playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think Ill do alright
Going back west
Yes I know Ill make out alright
Going back west
Where my musics playing all night
Going back west (going back west)
I think Ill do alright
Going back west
Yes I know Ill make out alright
Going back west
Where my musics playing all night

Something To Believe In
I believe that realitys gone
Disillusions real
I believe that moralitys gone
And theres nothing to feel
If you take the sacred things
The things that we hold dear
Empty promise is all youll find
So give me something
Something to believe in
I believe in a changing of the guard
Put our feet on the ground
See it happen in your own backyard
Everything breaks down
Do you accept what you are told
Without even thinking
Throw it all and make your own
And give me something
Something to believe in
Where they lead
You will follow
Well I guess thats just the way it goes
And if you look away
Youll be doing what they say
An if you look alive
Youll be singled out and tried
If you take home anything
Let it be your will to think
The more cynical you become
The better off youll be

Youll Never Be 16 Again
Orbison/dees
Look out now, love has done you wrong
You can be weak, you can be strong
But if you go on you cant look back, dont look back
For youll never be sixteen again
It might be easy to stop and cry
And let the rest of the world roll by
But if you run for the golden sun, run now, run
For youll never be sixteen again
Oh no, youll never be sixteen again, youll never be sixteen again
No no no no, dont be lonely, therell always be new romance
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, love is only a win, lose or draw game of chance
And youll never be sixteen again
Remember the rainbow always follows the rain
True love may be just around the bend
So make time your friend, hearts take time to mend
And youll never be sixteen again, someday you wont regret, and youll forget
Ah, but youll never be sixteen again
Oh no, youll never be sixteen again, oh no, youll never be sixteen again

I Keep Goin Back To Joes
(fisher/segal)
I keep goin back to joes
To that table in the corner,
Sippin wine and staring at the door.
Our old waiter knows were through,
Still he sets a place for you
Everything the way it was before.
I keep goin back to joes,
But the man who plays piano
Never plays your favorite melody.
Joe keeps busy at the bar,
Never asks me where you are.
He was there when you walked out on me.
Now I pray youll walk back in,
And youll say what fools weve been,
And well celebrate a happy new beginning.
Chances are youll never show,
But youll know just where to find me
Every night until its time to close.
Just in case you miss me, too,
Ill be there to welcome you.
Thats why I keep going back...
Thats why I keep goin back...
To joes.

Someday
Someday, rested from hours of sleeping
Well stay safely behind what were keeping
Youll seem warmer than I had remembered you
Lying so close Ill be able to feel you breathe
I could never leave
One day, when I am able to love you
Ill come back from wherever Ive been to
Ill see you looking the same as you always have
Lovely, so lovely, Ill cling to the love you give
So Ill start to live
Someday is coming
If I believe it
Someday always brings the good life you knew ...
Ever back to you
(*) how I need you
Someday, all I can give you is someday
Someday, all I can offer is someday
Please say that youll be waiting when someday comes
Promise me this and a kiss, to keep what you are
Always close to me

Scratch My Back
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
One good turn deserves another
Be my love, Ill be your lover
Its all part of natures laws
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch yours.
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, lets get rid of our itch together, hmm
Joy they say is in the giving
Come on give, make life worth living
Your welfare is my concern
Do a favour for me, Ill do one in return
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, lets get rid of our itch together, hmm
Scratch me now a little lower
What a feeling do it slower
Thats it, hmm youre getting hot
Well I gotta admit, you just hit the spot
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, lets get rid of our itch together, hmm
If youll scratch my back then Ill scratch your back

When I Speak To The Flowers
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.
I know you run around and youll never settle down
And I should quit while Im still on top
But when you hold me baby in your lovin arms
I could love you forever baby, but
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.
They tell me to leave you, just leave you behind
Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.

Here In My Heart
(diane warren)
Sometimes theres a time when you must say goodbye
Though it hurts you must learn to try
I know Ive got to let you go
But I know anywhere you go
Youll never be far
coz like the light of a bright star
Youll keep shining in my life
Youre gonna be right
Here in my heart
Thats where youll be
Youll be with me
Here in my heart
No distance can keep us apart
Long as youre here in my heart
Wont be any tears falling from those eyes
cos when true love never dies
It says alive forever
Time cant take away what we have
I will remember our time together
You may think our time is through
But Ill still have you
Here in my heart...
I know youll be back again
And till then
My love is waiting
Here in my heart...

Guilty Partner
Listen to me
I know what Im saying
But lord it dont come easy
To admit that I was wrong
It took me far too long
I counted on you
To give me a reason
Why the sun dont shine in the season
Grey sky surrounded me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover
You once said to me
That I was a cruel man
And you know
That I almost believed you
I was blind, and I couldnt see
You took my sight from me
And all of these words
And all this emotion
Cant explain my hopeless devotion
Or change what had to be
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know that youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from no other
Youre not being cool with me
cause I always know that youll come back to me
Yes, youll come back to me
Im not some kind of foolish lover
I couldnt take this from another
Its no good being cool with me
cause I always know
What it takes to make you my lover

The Promise
If you wait for me then Ill come for you
Although Ive traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me, if you miss me once in awhile
Then Ill return to you
Ill return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
If youll be waiting
If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place thats warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
If youll be waiting
Ive longed for you and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
If youll be waiting
Ive longed for you and I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
Please say youll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise if its one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say youll hold
A place for me in your heart.

Albums: break every rule (86), the collected recordings(94)
Grammy award: best rock performance, female (87)
Baby tell me what youre trying to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen, I aint gonna take one more night
Youre the one who broke the rules
And Im the one who played the fool
Now youre trying to tell me its alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
Youll never get another chance again
Youll be back where you started
I know you wont admit it but youre broken-hearted
Back where you started
You think its gonna be easy but it just gets harder, harder
You had a way with words
One look and I was under your spell
I didnt know should I stay or should I run
You cant deny you told me lies
Loveem and leaveem baby, thats your style
Im not affraid to take life as it comes
You play with fire I guess youll never learn
You mess with me babe, you re gonna get burned
Youll be back where you started
I know how it feels when youve been discarded
Back where you started
You think you got it made but it wont get you far, no it wont get you far
Whos gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime
Ill tell you one thing, youve really done it this time
You took your one chance and let it slip away

Leaving
If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, Im movin on
Youll always be, my baby
Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for a while
Maybe youll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
Cant see me changin for awhile
Hope I could make it back around
Anything that I want I can get it, boy
You know you turn me on and on
Thats why I switch my frame my mind
Of bein' there when you call; always on time
Im lookin to spread my wings and party
Everything and for everybody
Need my space, no time alone
Its like our hearts dont match no more
Still anything that you want, you can get it, boy
You know I still got love for you
(In court i plead the 5th my baby)
(Chorus)
Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for a while
Maybe youll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
Cant see me changin for a while
Hope I could make it back around
When you was cheatin me you probably thinkin
I won't sense a thing,
But love got funny ways of catchin up to lies
Your lies can't look me straight in the eyes
Im not surprised
That you can hurt me, baby
Though why me, baby?
Just let me breathe in i'll fly freely
If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, Im movin on
Youll always be my baby
Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe youll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
Cant see me changin for awhile
Hope I could make it back around
Yo, yo
Why in the world would you wanna leave me, girl
Is there somethin out there
That you feel is better than what's here at home
And I know a bitch can do bad on her own
Youre not alone the way you hurt me, baby
Shit why me, baby
I feel your pain a little
But I know that love is good
And as long as I let you go
That you feel the need to come back to me, baby
Who else gon' hold you and sex you crazy
R--U--L--E
Come on back and holla at me, baby
Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for a while
Maybe youll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
Cant see me changin for a while
Hope I could make it back around
Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for a while
Maybe youll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now

Tell It Like It Is
Say it say it say it tell it like it is
Say it say it say it tell it like it is
What breaks your heart
What keeps you awake at night
What makes you want to breakdown and cry
But say youll never turn your back
Say youll never harden to the world
Say youll never try to still the rhythms in your breast
Say youll never look at the evil among us and try to forget
Say youll tell it like it is
Say it say it say it so everyone can hear
Say it say it say it tell it like it is
What breaks your hear
What keeps you awake at night
How your anger and grief
Make you want to cry out
And tell it like it is
But say youll never close your eyes
Or pretend that its a rosy world
Say youll never try to paint
What is rotten with a sugarcoat
Say youll talk about the horrors youve seen and the torment you know
And tell it like it is
Say it say it say it
So no one can forget
Say it say it say it tell it like it is
What breaks your heart
What keeps you awake at night
What makes you want to break the ties that silence and bind
And tell it like it is
Say youll never cover your ears and close your mouth
And live in a silent world
Say youll only run as far or as fast as you need to be secure
Say that then youll tell the truth
When a lie could cross your lips
And tell it like it is
Say it say it say it - say it say it say it
Say it say it say it - say it say it say it
Say it say it say it - say it say it say it
Say it say it say it - say it say it say it
