Sin Of The City
Coat check girl up in happyland
Has a violent row with a cuban man
Julio leaves in a drunken rage -
Comes back with the gasoline
The club has no fire exit
The club only had one door
Only five people came out alive
The sin is that 89 died
89 dead! 89 dead! 89 dead! 89 dead!
The sin is that a year and a half before
The fire chiefs out and hes raising cain
Brands happyland hazzard close down but no.
No-one ever paid him no mind..
No-one ever paid him no mind..
No-one ever paid him no mind..
No-one ever paid him no mind..
No-one ever paid him no mind..
City living, heavy trouble
City living rough
We are given angry heart
But angers not enough
(chorus)
Daily news reviews of the landlords life
Found six thousand code ciolations light.
The city has more a hundred thousand wars
All for one of forbes four hundred whores.
Just one fire cracker on a big bondfire
Of self serving penny pinching wiseguy style.
Never allowing for the human condition. (hayyyeah)
Never allowing for the human condition. (hayyyeah)
Never allowing for the numen condition.
The sin is that these guys survive.

Sin of the city, yehh (chorus)

While The City Sleeps
What goes on behind closed doors, private wounds, open sores
Youre your own worst enemy and cheap thrills bring you to your knees
Its thumbs down for someone you know, and its easy come and easy go
Chorus:
Burn your bridges, take what you can get
Go for the throat cause you paid your debt
Livin well is the best revenge, so give em hell
While the city sleeps - its all there in black and white
While the city sleeps - through the eye of the needle, gotta thread your life
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
Its a hit or miss, an eye for an eye, live for today, and dont ask why
For better or worse, you bought and sold
They love you while youre hot and leave you when youre cold
Chorus
While the city sleeps - yeah, better run for your life
Take your troubles to the night
While the city sleeps - yeah, beggars, thieves and losers, theres no relief
While the city sleeps - theres no relief, while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - yeah

While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps
While the city sleeps - while the city sleeps

Heartache City
Hit the city, hit the night

Hit the red lights, check the girls
Youre steppin into another world
See the man, hell spin you alive

Crazy people in heartache city

Heartache city, its a city of sin
Check the star club, see the stars

Tricks for kicks

Everybody Needs
Im gonna bet you that heartaches
And true love and feeble excuses
For repressed desire adds fuel to the fire
And the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on
(chorus)
Everybody needs it
Everybody needs
Everybody needs it
Everybody needs
And I get so blue when Im stuck all day in school
And I get so blue when Im stuck all day in school
And I stare at the back of my old notebook
And the teacher gives me a dirty look
And Ive got just one thing on my mind
No matter how hard I try and try
I feel like someone else
I feel like someone else
Everybody needs
Big boy, real cool, you can tell hes no ones fool
And he tries so hard to come off like a star
You can tell by the way he combs his hair
By the cocky grin and that moody stare
By the way he leans and juts out his hip
And you think any second that he might slip
But he feels like someone else
And he feels like someone else
I know whats on his mind
I know whats on his mind
(repeat chorus)
And Im gonna bet you that I know whats on your mind
Pretty baby, Im gonan bet you that I know whats on your mind
Young girl, so wild, she wears a ponytail
And she cooks inside with a passion she cant hide
And shes got that ju-ju in her eyes
Makes boys and old men come alive
And she knows the power that she possesses
When they start to melt under her caresses
She feels like someone else
She feels like someone else
I know whats on her mind
I know whats on her mind
(repeat chorus)
True love and virtue get put in a closet
Like jeckyll and hyde, when it starts you cant stop it
No need to feel guilty, cause youre not alone
When the fire consumes you and nature takes over
The heartache and true love and feeble excuses
For repressed desires add fuel to the fire
When the fire consumes you and nature takes over
And the human condition goes on and goes on and goes on
(repeat chorus)
Everybody needs

The girl from Cebu City
I know a girl from Cebu City
I have never met her but I know of her
through her lover… a much older man
who lives in my city.
She is much younger
very beautiful… a bit like a child
He has arranged for her to come for an
extended visit
He is worried that people might think
he has bought and paid for her, lest
her feelings be hurt
I say she is too young to understand…
He says he will throw money at the problem
and take her here and there, spoil her,
buy her things…
only to take her mind off things, of course…
I think it is ironic that this girl will go back
to Cebu City with more possessions
thinking herself richer for the experience –
not having been bought and paid for, of course…
and that this man from my city will be
all the poorer for his judgment….
for buying the paper queen
a heart of stone.

Now Heres You

Ive done my share of city dances
If I fall Ill just play on through
I deal with love the best as Im able
I keep my cards on top of the table
I dont spend much of my time blue
(chorus)
And now heres you
And now heres you.
Here is you
Theres never been anything that any girl could say
Theres never been one got to me anyway
And I sure thought I knew my heart too

You could have been just any woman
And if you are why am I so blue
It must be you

When youre not looking is when youre found
Love comes looking to spin you around,
Round and round
Ive been in love too much too deep
If you dont need loving

Presents To Send You
By: jimmy buffett
1974
Well now Im in love with a fast-movin angel
Dresses like the city girls do
When were apart theres no ache in my heart
When were together were a hell of a crew
Chorus:
And I got presents to send you
Even got money to lend you
But honey I can never ever pretend
Youre not there on my mind
There sits a fifth of tequila
God I swore Id never drink it again
But my last little bout I had my hair pulled out
By a man who really wasnt my friend
And I know Ill never see him again
Chorus:
Yeah but I got presents to send you
Ive even got money to lend you
But honey I can never ever pretend
Youre not there on my mind
Yeah, I thought I might sail down to bridgetown
Spend some time in the barbados sun
But my plans took a skid when I smoked a whole lid
Wound up where Id begun
Chorus:
Yes and I got presents to send you
Ive even got money to lend you
But honey I can never ever pretend
Youre not there on my mind

hey young thug,
it seems you got yourself in a serious situation

come up a un-loved youngster in the city
while momma and daddy got all day and never listen

and blowing all your ambitions away

to stop ya from going under (ah ah)
i know sometimes that we praise this life
but im here to tell you that we all paid the price
so move on
and dont believe everything you be hearing on them songs
cause sometimes the devil can get in there and steer you wrong
(chorus)X2
now this is for my ghetto queens in the slammer
convicted now as criminals
caged up like animals
these real women
stuck in this wicked prison system
look how ya living
you should be home raising your children
but you messing with that sucka that got you hooked on rock
hooked doing crime
then he should blow ya mind
and they like come but you cant go home
and all over the world its the same old song (same song)
(chorus)X2
now this one is for my partners doin they time in the pen
doin 5 with a 10 tail

never comin home no more
end of your life, your life, your life, your life
finished,guess you paid the price
cant hug your wife
you cant even kiss ya kids and tell em you love em
want me to comfort em?
and nothing is worse then being nowhere for you loved ones
i feel ya how ya feelin
so i gotta take the time to drop a line
i gotta take the time to let you shine

Than spend my life in a hole

Can't make the bleeding stop

Looking For Something
Is there a good way to say goodbye
When youre leaving all you had cause your love has run dry
Is there a good way to be a bad girl
When youre taking all thats given from the world
Is there a good way to move ahead
Without selling out your soul for some water or some bread
Is there a good way to learn your lesson and stay alive
Chorus
Ive been looking for something all of my life
Maybe in some other city Ill see the light
Is there a good way to say goodbye
To this fantasy world to this lie
Is there a good way to get out before youre jaded
I need to find a good way to say goodbye
Is there a good way to say goodbye
Chorus
Ive been looking for something all of my life
Maybe in some other city Ill be alright
Is there a good way to leave him alone
When you find his love just hits too close to home
Is there a good way to deny everything you thought you needed
I need to find a good way to say goodbye
Is there a good way to say goodbye

Ive been looking for something all of my life
Maybe Ill find somebody wholl make things alright
Ive been looking for something all of my live
Maybe in some other city Ill be alright
Ive been looking for you

Dont you ask me why

My head was spinning
My heart was pumping
Youre not mine

All the nights we shared together
Rudy youre still always on my mind

Ashes In Your Mouth
People have round shoulders from fairing heavy loads.
And the soldiers liberate them, laying mines along their roads.
Sorrow paid for valor is too much to recall
Of the countless corpses piled up along the wailing wall.
Melting down all metals, turning plows and shears to swords,
Shun words of the bible, we need implements of war.
Chalklines and red puddles of those who have been slain
Destiny, that crooked schemer, says the dead shall rise again
/chorus/
Where do we go from here?
And should we really care?
The end is finally here,
God have mercy!
Now weve rewritten history
The one thing weve found out,
Sweet taste of vindication,
It turns to ashes in your mouth.
/chorus/
If youre fighting to live
Its o.k. to die!
The answer to your question is...
Welcome to tomorrow!
Where do we go from here?
God have mercy!

He touched you and it stabs (me)

But when Im holdin you

Indulge your fantasy
