Deep Dark Truthful Mirror
One day youre going to have to face
A deep dark truthful mirror
And its going to tell you things that I still love you too much to say
The sky was just a purple bruise, the ground was iron
And you fell all around the town until you looked the same
Chorus:
The same eyes, the same lips, the same lie from
Your tongue trips
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
Now the flagstone streets where the newspaper shouts ring to the boots of roustabouts
But youre never in any doubt, theres something happening somewhere
You chase down the road til your fingers bleed
On a fiberglass tumbleweed
You can blow around the town, but it all shuts down the same
Chorus
So you bay for the boy in the tiger-skin trunks
They set him up, set him up on the stool
He falls down, falls down like a drunk
And you drink til you drool
And its his story youll flatter
Youll stretch him out like a saint
But the canvas that he splattered will be the
Picture that you never paint
Chorus
A stripping puppet on a liquid stick gets into it pretty thick
A butterfly drinks a turtles tears, but how do you know he really needs it?
cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkeys hand,
Jesus wept he felt abandoned
Youre spellbound baby theres no doubting that
Did you ever see a stare like a persian cat?
Chorus

Religion Of The Heart
His hair was Bible black, face like a priest
His fingers clutched the precious box and silent as a dream
He hid behind the dark sunglasses
You caught your breath
You thought he was beautiful
You didnt hear his silent scream
As he spread the dead mans ashes
Your always trying to find your worth
In the eyes of someone new
You may not think you need this baby but I think you do
You need religion of the heart, religion of the heart
(deep in your system)
Youre just searching in the dark
For a reason to believe
You need religion of the heart
You raise your glass, you drink their wine
But youre still thirsty all the time
No miracles tonight, and youll skip the midnight masses
Itll be okay in the cool clear, bright light of the day
But you just seem so scattered
As though nothing mattered baby
Youre always trying to heal yourself in someone elses skin
Turn the thieves out of the temple baby and let it in
You need religion of the heart, religion of the heart
(deep in your system)
Youre just searching in the dark
For a reason to believe
You need religion of the heart
Oh, you think that I am only joking, and it all comes down to nothing
And Im just talking to your fear but I m not
No, Im not, and you stand in the field of fire
You need religion of the heart, religion of the heart
(deep in your system)
Youre just searching in the dark
For a reason to believe
You need religion of the heart
Religion of the heart

Are You Ready For The Fallout?
I was wondering how youre feeling
I thought I saw you kneeling
And holding your gut last night
It looked like you were praying
But I heard someone saying
You had been in an awful fight
You get the worst of it everytime
Lashing out with no reason or rhyme
To lose all this rage, at so tender an age
Little baby growing up in a rat cage
Chorus 1:
Are you ready for the fallout?
Who you gonna call out?
When does it finally come to blows?
I think that youre forgetting
The blood that youll be letting
Has a price on it, no one knows
You may be suffering in your sleep
You may be getting in too deep
And you may not care for advice that I share
In one ear and out the other
Chorus 2:
Soon you will learn how to swallow a tear
So when youre old you can cry in your beer
Do you spit at the face staring back in the mirror?
Do you have any self respect?
Chorus 2
Well what the hell did you expect?
Chorus 1
Are you ready for the fallout?
Who you gonna call out?

The Sun Aint Gonna Shine Anymore
Loneliness is a cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue is always there
Chorus:
The sun aint gonna shine anymore
The moon aint gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When youre without love
Baby emptiness is a place youre in
Nothing to lose
But no more to win

Lonely without you, baby
Boy I need you
I cant go on

Sulky Girl
She wears a wedding ring her sister lent
To throw them off the scent
Just let them guess, its what they expect
Who in the world has bitten her neck?
Shes discovered wearing last nights dress
The carnal and cunning, she couldnt express
Who do you think shes trying to impress?
Chorus:
I think youd better hold your tongue
Although youve never been that strong
Im sorry to say that I knew all along
Youre no match for that sulky girl
She left her european town
Before she let the family down
She couldnt stand the massacre game
So she dyed her hair and adopted another name
With the evidence of passing out stamped on her hand
She glows in the dark
He thinks shes from another planet
Chorus
Sulky girl
Im sure you look a picture when you cry
Threatening the silent treatment doesnt qualify
Its like money in the bank
Your expression is blank
But while the chance appears
Youll be nearer to tears
Sulky girl [2x]
He said hello, my pretty flower
Just trying out his tycoon power
Avoiding the mirror, her pitying stare
She said youre mistaken, your moneys no good in here
Just some stupid little know-it-all
Who thought she looked easy; hes not that astute
Hell pay for the distance
Between cruelty and beauty
Chorus
So I wont tell you again
What do you gain
By blackening her name
Shes smarter than you
Oh isnt it a shame
Youre gonna lose that sulky girl
Sulky girl
I saw you practising your blackmail faces
Suddenly youre talking like a duchess
But youre still a waitress
I saw through your pretence
But in my defence
There are a few events
I think will spare the censor

Deep In The Hole
Ive been enchained
She got shackles on me
That woman to blame
For the hell and misery
Cant find my way outta here
Shoot me down in a burnin fear
Goin down for a stretch of years
Way down below
Chorus:
Im deep in, deep in, deep in the hole
Deep in, deep in, deep in the hole
Im down in, down in, down in the hole
Well Im deep in, deep in
That woman got me deep in the hole
Im sinking down
She got me down on the floor
Cant touch both walls
The further down I go
Pulls the strings on my violin bow
Makes me sing when she fire my load
Aint no slave, but you do what youre told
You sold your soul

Taking Me Over
You dont remember me, but I remember you.
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you.
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do.
[chorus:]
I believe in you.
Ill give up everything just to find you.
I have to be with you to live, to breath...
Youre taking over me.
Can you know what I know and all we have.
You saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand.
I knew you loved me then.
[chorus]
I look in the mirror and see your face, if I look deep enough.
So many things inside that just frighten you are taking over.

When Your Walls Come Down
Liar, liar, got your pants on fire
I know you want it, you know you want it too
Hey diddle diddle, when the cat wants to fiddle
The kittens gotta give him the moon
And they say you gotta look before you leap
And were gonna judge you by the friends you keep
But youre looking nasty and Im in too deep
Youll be real happy to be losing sleep
Chorus:
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, you get so crazy when theres no one around
You got your script from a cosmo guide, 15 ways to find a lover
Dont you make me chase you, cause the author lied
Youll get your answers, babe, under the covers
You say I wanna wait until Im really sure
And I want a love to last forever more
And Ive got my pride, Ive got my dignity
Well youll swallow everything when youre with me
Chorus
When your walls come down, when your walls come down
When your walls come down, ah, youre so
(come here baby and - auw...)
And they say you gotta look before you leap
And were gonna judge you by the friends you keep
Listen, youre looking nasty and Im in too deep
Youll be real happy to be losing sleep

Who Pays The Price
Yes its dark sometimes
When the people are shoving
Pushing you into the ground
And you cry in the daylight
With the sun in your eyes
Even though you kow youre not alone
And its all been felt before
You stare out through your window
And wonder if theres gonna be more
Chorus
It brings you down
Its like a war
Who pays the price
If you want more
Quiet desperation of a million lives
Gonna make you change your ways
We got everything we wanted
But forgot how we got it
Just cant paint it golden anyway
And the strength of all youre giving
Is gonna make the changes
Tomorrows gonna bring a new day
Chorus
As the years go by
Will it show on your face
Or stay hidden behind some door
Yeah you made your solutions
With the will of a priest
But youre not so sure anymore
And the reasons why youre living
Keep changing everytime you find a key you find more

Next Time round
As I stepped out upon the landing my heart was already down the stairs
Shes in the bedroom with that boy of hers
Though her face is creased and her eyes seem strange
Theres a second-hand emotion on battered forty-five
My tears were never enough to keep that girl alive
Now she seems contrite will she make the change
Chorus: the next time round
The next time round
Youll be someone elses baby
But Ill be underground
The next time round
Then you took two steps forward and then one step on your back
Now its a future for me and you that I lack
Youll be the one wholl stands out in the dark
Even when youre all dressed in black
Chorus
Youve got something I want now
And Ive got something I cant hide
Ive got too much love for you now
Have you got too much pride
Sometimes I name and number all the things you gave to me
Your elastic love, this velvet-line purgatory
You used to take the breath out of me
Now I think youll be the death of me

Youll be in some sputnik baby
But Ill be underground

You dont know where youll land

Treasures of history to be found
Near the legends of time
All the handiworks remain there
Only a dream away

Greedy feeling wheeling dealing
Losing what you won
See the dream come undone
Stumble you may with the elementary
Lucky you got so far
All you owe is apologies
Measure the mystery and astound
Without taking up time
So the handiworks remain there
Only a dream away

In out, hot cold, up down, young old
What a lot to do
Sharing a dream with you

Whistling In The Dark
A woman came up to me and said
Id like to poison your mind
With wrong ideas that appeal to you
Though I am not unkind
She looked at me, I looked at something
Written across her scalp
And these are the words that it faintly said
As I tried to call for help:
Theres only one thing that I know how to do well
And Ive often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And thats be you,
Be what youre like,
Be like yourself,
And so Im having a wonderful time
But Id rather be whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Theres only one thing that I like
And that is whistling in the dark
A man came up to me and said
Id like to change your mind
By hitting it with a rock, he said,
Though I am not unkind.
We laughed at his little joke
And then I happily walked away
And hit my head on the wall of the jail
Where the two of us live today.
Theres only one thing that I know how to do well
And Ive often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And thats be you,
Be what youre like,
Be like yourself,
And so Im having a wonderful time
But Id rather be whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Whistling in the dark
Theres only one thing that I like
And that is whistling in the dark
Theres only one thing that I know how to do well
And Ive often been told that you only can do
What you know how to do well
And thats be you,
Be what youre like,
Be like yourself,
And so Im having a wonderful time
But Id rather be whistling in the dark

Shadows are my sun
Ive fallen in a hole
so deep, dark and cold
No one is there
no one to hold
My eyes are bloodstained
tears and they fall to my
lips
My plams are scratched with
blood, it trickles to my
fingertips
My blood is cold and my veins
are ice and my hair is dark
dark like night
I sit in a dark corner
shadows are my sun
I fare myself,
what have i done
I pick up a mirror
but fail to look
I will only see an unknown
place so i put down,
myself i cannot face.

Alright Tonight
(john hiatt)
Chorus:
Im alright tonight
Im alright
Youre alright tonight
Youre alright
Were alright tonight
Its alright tonight
You came down
A twisted up road
Youve been traveling
For light years
You got here the same time
Those tears found their way
Down your face
I fought with the laws tooth
And nail
And I traveled
By night, dear
Youre a sight for sore eyes
Ive been looking
All over the place
Up where the angels sigh
Down there the dreams get
Smashed on the rocks
You and i
Wait to begin again
Lifted above by a love
That does not end
Chorus
You picked up some
Pieces of light
As you broke through
The speed of sound
I was rockin around
In my own
Two-dimensional way
Now when I hear
That jet engine blow
Then I know you are
Leaving town
Baby, Id follow you
To the edge of it all, anyway
Up where the kingdom comes
Down where the streets
Take the breath
Of another young gun
Love is a whispered prayer
Shot like a spark
Though the heart
Of dark despair
Chorus
I dont regret
Any nineteen-year-old
Indiscretions
I can still fit both my feet
In my mouth, anyway
But these days Im just not as
Willing to nurse
The obsession
If the doc says
Ive got to come out
Then Im happy to pay

Deep Down

You know everyday I walk down memory lane
Trying to find a way past the same old pain
Ah you know, but now the message is loud and its clear
There aint no way to get there from here
Chorus:
Yeah Ive finally realized thats the way things are
I got the bleeding stopped but theres gonna be a scar
I know Ill go on living but youre always gonna be around
Deep down, deep down
Well, I know an old soldier who walks with a limp
From a war hes still fightin inside of him
And just like me hell go to his grave
Nursin a pain that wont go away

With all the memories I have of you
We had some bad times but we had good times too

Whenever Youre Gone
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
I cant go any further now, only if you come with me
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms
If you come and look into my eyes, iii see it all more clearly
All of the tears youve seen my cry
Youll take them all away
If you come and open up my eyes and hold me
Take me away and ease my mind
Just come and hold me tight
Chorus:
Whenever youre gone its lonely
Whenever youre gone I cant face the light of day
Its too many times Ive been on my own
With a burning in my heart
Whenever youre gone
Look at the face you see before you, cant you be open to me
Cant you believe what we have, dont throw it away
Believe in me now dont criticize, its only the beginning
Cant you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say
If you came and open up me eyes and hold me
Then I can open up my mind, and I will hold you tight

When youre gone I feel so alone
And I cant sleep for crying, and deep inside I feel like dying

Youre so lovable
