The Shape Im In
Go out yonder, peace in the valley
Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley
Oh, you dont know the shape Im in
Has anybody seen my lady
This living alone will drive me crazy
Oh, you dont know the shape Im in
Im gonna go down by the wa - ter
But I aint gonna jump in, no, no
Ill just be looking for my mak - er
And I hear that thats where shes been? oh!
Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to heaven
Oh, you dont know the shape Im in
I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
For the crime of having no dough
Now here I am back out on the street
For the crime of having nowhere to go
Save your neck or save your brother
Looks like its one or the other
Oh, you dont know the shape Im in
Now two young kids might start a ruckus
You know they feel you trying to shuck us
Oh, you dont know the shape Im in

I Dont Want To Change The World
Standing on the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way Im going, you cant bring me down
Dont you try and teach me no original sin
I dont need your pity for the shape Im in
Chorus
I dont wanna change the world
I dont want the world to change me

Dont Give Up On Me
Dont give up on me,
Though I know at times its hard to see;
All my many weaknesses
Might blind you,
I must remind you,
Dont give up on me,
Even when I act so selfishly,
All my views are all I see.
Yes, I know theres still so much of me,
But God is working constantly,
To shape me,
Hell remake me.
Dont give up on me.
Im gonna make it.
I know its hard for you to see.
Dont give up on me,
I couldnt take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that youd start to believe in,
Im changin so please dont give up on me.
Dont give up on me,
Even when I fail so miserably.
Time and again I know
I stumble,
It makes me humble.
Dont give up on me.
But never let your love to be
Hanging on the things you see,
Counting all the times I fail to be
Everything you want from me;
Im trying.
Hear me crying.
Dont give up on me.
Im gonna make it.
I know its hard for you to see.
Dont give up on me,
I couldnt take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that youd start to believe in,
Im changin so please dont give up on me.
I know much more than you
How very weak I am.
But he believes in me,
And so I know you can.
When all my views are all I see,
Then I know theres still so much of me;
But God is working constantly
To shape me,
Hell remake me.
Dont give up on me.
Im gonna make it.
I know its hard for you to see.
Dont give up on me.
I couldnt take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that youd start to believe in,
Im changin so please dont give up on me.
Dont give up one me.
Im gonna make it.
I know its hard for you to see.
Dont give up on me.
I couldnt take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that youd start to believe in,
Im changin so please dont give up on me.

Thats The Way It Goes
It dont look good,
It dont look great
You know whats going down you really gonna hate
This is the moment, you know the score
This is what your enemies have waited for
Youre going down
And everybody knows, thats the way it goes
Take a look, there aint no doubt about it
Youre in real bad shape
Everything that you dont need
Is waiting at your garden gate
So take a smile, take a woe
You got the rest of your life to wonder why and how
Save that for later, youre far too busy now
Because
Youre going down
And everybody knows
Thats the way it goes

If Youre Not Gonna Love Me Right
(m.seward)
Hey, oh
Hey yeah
Hey baby, hey baby
The phone is ringing
And Im running late
Ive no time to get it
coz Im expecting you at eight
Heard your voice on the message
Im surprised you called
Said youre all tied up
And you aint comin at all
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
If youre not gonna love me right, oh
(baby dont love, baby dont love me)

(baby dont love, baby dont love me)

Another box of roses outside on my porch
Twelve long excuses none of them stop the hurt
Wheres this going, do you really care?
Is this real love, I dont know anymore I swear
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Baby dont make me crazy
If youre not gonna love me right

You make me crazy if you really love me
You see
Oh, I get confused when you hold me next to you
I wanna go further, oh baby yes I do
I just cant hold on to something that wont last
So wed better slow down, and maybe not go so fast
Maybe not go so fast
If youre not gonna love me right
Baby dont love me at all
Youre just gonna make me crazy

If youre not gonna love me
Baby dont love me, baby dont love me, baby dont love me
If youre not gonna love me right

Outland
Im in outland
Sex tension
She whispers things I need
Look in her heart
Slow motion
Ive been expecting you.
Im in outland
Ill do anything.
Im in outland
Storm my heart
Tear me up if you like.
Come closer
Say nothing
Ive got something for you.
I shape sound
I shape time
Ill shape your world for you.
Im in outland
Ill do anything.
Im in outland
Emotion
Dark whispers in my head.
Got the sex scream
On new film
Ive got the friend I need.
Dont play safe
Dont play clean
Dont play if you cant lose.
Im in outland
Ill do anything.

Shape Me Like A Man
Spark my body into existence
Breath your life into me
Fill these eyes with temptation
Work your mystery
Make me in the image you desire
Raise me up from the earth
Let me be your creation
Women, give me birth
Take me in your hands
And shape me like a man
Shape me like a man
Put this broken body in motion
With a strong and natural drive
Fill my flesh with sensation
Women let me know Im alive
Take me in your hands
And shape me like a man
Shape me like a man
Like a man
Shape me like a man

Shape me like a man

Take me in your hands

You dont know what I got
Well Im not braggin babe so dont put me down
But Ive got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me he dont even try
Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly
Shes my little deuce coupe
You dont know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)

Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But shell walk a thunderbird like (shes) its standin still
Shes ported and relieved and shes stroked and bored.
Shell do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
Shes my little deuce coupe
You dont know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you dont know what I got)
Shes got a competition clutch with the four on the floor
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that aint enough to make you flip your lid
Theres one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy
And comin off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and its hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears
Shes my little deuce coupe
You dont know what I got

Sins A Good Mans Brother
Aint seen a night, things work out right, go by.
Things on my mind, and I just dont have the time, and it dont seem right.
Aint seen a day, that I dont hear people say, they know theyre gonna die.
This may seem a little bit crazy, but I dont think you should be so lazy.
If you think youve heard this before, well, stick around Im gonna tell you more.
One just like the other, sins a good mans brother, but is that right?
You tell me that I dont, then I say I wont, but then I might.
You said this is the way its supposed to be, but it just dont seem right to me, and thats outta sight.
Some folks need an education, dont give up, or well loose the nation.
You say we need a revolution? it seems to be the only solution.

Save Your Love
You were my woman and I was your man
You were good lookin
You know I was your biggest fan
You tried to teach me things I already knew
When you couldnt reach me
Girl, I think you knew that we were through

Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, I dont want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I dont need it (save your love)
Put it back on the shelf

You said you love me, you may have been right
But hangin above me, girl,
You know that we would fight
You tried to change me and mess up my mind
Now, dont rearrange me
And girl, you know thats why youre left behind

Save your love, save it, save it

Shes Too Good For Me
She dont like to hear me sing
She dont want no diamond ring
She dont want to drive my car
She wont let me go that far
She dont like the way I look
She dont like the things I cook
She dont like the way I play
She dont like the things I say
But oh the games we play
Shes too good for me
Shes too good for me
She dont like the jokes I make
She dont like the drugs I take
She dont like the friends I got
She dont like my friends a lot
She dont like the clothes I wear
She dont like the way I stare
She dont like the tales I tell
She dont like the way I smell
But oh the game we play
Shes too good for me
Shes too good for me
Would she prefer it if I washed myself more often than I do
Would she prefer it if I took her to an opera or two
I could distort myself to be the perfect man
She might prefer me as I am
She dont want to meet my folks
She dont want to hear my jokes
She dont want to fix my tie
She dont even want to try
She dont like the books I read
She dont like the way I feed
She dont want to save my life
She dont want to be my wife
But oh the games we play
Shes too good for me
Shes too good for me

I Aint Living Long Like This
I aint living long like this

You looked for trouble and you found it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawmans gun
Youd try to run but you dont think you can
You make one move and youre dead man, friend
I aint living long like this
I cant live at all like this, can I baby
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
Then he left me freezing on a steel rail track
They got em all in the jailhouse, aint they baby
I aint living long like this
Grew up in houston off of wayside drive
Son of a car hop in some all night dive
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
All I remember was a drunk mans breath
I aint living long like this
I cant live at all like this can I baby
We know the story how the wheel goes round
Dont let em take you to the man downtown
Cant sleep at all in the jailhouse, baby
I aint living long like this
You live for angel, shes a roadhouse queen
Make texas ruby look like sandra dee
You want to love her but you dont know how
Youre at the bottom of the jailhouse now
I aint living long like this
I cant live at all like this, can I baby
You know the story bout the jailhouse rock
Go on and do it, but just dont get caught
They got em all in the jailhouse, aint they baby

Dreamtime
I saw you standing and I felt your rage
Like a dark cloud on a crowded stage
You were talking thru the smoke in your fantasy
I know you girl I know what to believe
Maybe things aint been so good at home
And the people that you love never cared at all
You wanna run away dont care where you go
You wanna run away thats all you know
Believe its alright to fantasize
And say the words you think will satisfy me
But you know better than that
cause you know whats a lie
Youre living in dreamtime baby
Its time to wake up
Youre living in dreamtime baby
Its time to shape up
In your dream its overcast
Rain comes down movin your way fast
You wanna run away dont care where you go
You wanna run away thats all you know
Turn a corner then you see a door
Walk on thru throw yourself on the floor
When youre looking up its no surprise
Standing there is a man with movie star eyes
Think hes gonna take care of you
The man with the plan thatll see you thru
I say there aint no way
cause I know hes a lie
Youre living in dreamtime baby
Its time to wake up
Youre living in dreamtime baby
Its time to shape up
I never saw anybody fall apart so fast
Living in dreamtime you know it aint gonna last
Never saw anybody think shes so right and be so wrong
Living in dreamtime
Its hard to carry on

Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When Im not with you, I just dont know what to do
Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to beat all the pain

In The Shape Of A Heart
It was a ruby that she wore
On a chain around her neck
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
It was a time I wont forget
For the sorrow and regret
And the shape of a heart
And the shape of a heart
I guess I never knew
What she was talking about
I guess I never knew
What she was living without
People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
Speak in terms of belief and belonging
Try to fit some name to their longing
People speak of love
There was a hole left in the wall
From some ancient fight
About the size of a fist
Or something thrown that had missed
And there were other holes as well
In the house where our nights fell
Far too many to repair
In the time that we were there
People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of
Reach out to each other though the push and shove
Speak in terms of a life and the learning
Try to think of a word for the burning
You keep it up
You try so hard
To keep a life from coming apart
And never know
What breaches and faults are concealed
In the shape of a heart
It was the ruby that she wore
On a stand beside the bed
In the hour before dawn
When I knew she was gone
And I held it in my hand
For a little while
And dropped it into the wall
Let it go, heard it fall
I guess I never knew
What she was talking about
I guess I never knew
What she was living without
People speak of love dont know what theyre thinking of
Wait around for the one who fits just like a glove
Speak in terms of a life and the living
Try to find the word for forgiving
You keep it up
You try so hard
To keep a life from coming apart
And never know
The shallows and the unseen reefs
That are there from the start
In the shape of a heart
