Alibi
You did it 'cause you wanted
Alibi, alibi
And you took it
Cause you need it
Alibi, alibi
But if I've done something wrong there's no "ifs and buts"
'Cause I love you just as much as I hate your guts
Alibi, alibi, alibi...
And you don't need anybody
Alibi, alibi
But you are the only one that knows this
Alibi, alibi
You deserve it 'cause you're special
Alibi, alibi
Maybe Jesus wants you for a sunbeam
Alibi, alibi
But if I've left something out
I apologize
But if you look in my eyes
Then I'm sure you'll see...
Alibis, alibis, alibis...
Sometimes I'm so forgiving
Everything seems bad to me
But I can't go on living
With this alibi, alibi, alibi...
"Insane," what a mundane
Alibi, alibi
And you only wanted to be famous
Alibi, alibi
Sorry, but your mommy doesn't love you
Alibi, alibi
Stop me if you've heard this...
Alibi, alibi
But if I've done something right then don't be surprised
There are soldiers who will kill but refuse to die
But if I've done something wrong there's no "ifs and buts"
'Cause I love you just as much as I hate your guts
Alibi, alibi, alibi, alibi...
You were weak...
You couldn't help it
Alibi, alibi
But you never had a pony
Alibi, alibi
Chorus
And you're such a people person
Alibi, alibi
And I will be true to you forever
Alibi, alibi
But you're stupid and you're lazy
Alibi, alibi
Maybe we can make the future better
Alibi, alibi
Chorus
Sometimes I'm so forgiving
Everything seems bad to me
But I can't go on living
With this alibi, alibi, alibi...
You were happy when you were poor
And more honest and that's your...
Alibi, alibi
Sister is a whore, brother isn't sure
Alibi, alibi
You don't fit the body that you're trapped in

Papa's got a brand new...
Alibi, alibi
But if I've done something wrong there's no "ifs and buts"

Waiting For An Alibi
Valentinos got a booky shop and what he takes
He gives for what hes got
And what hes got he says he has not
Stolen from anyone
Its not that he dont tell the truth
Or even that he misspent his youth
Its just that he holds the proof
But you feel theres somethings wrong
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Valentinos in a cold sweat, placed all his money on that last bet
Against the odds he smokes another cigarette
Says that it helps him to forget
That hes a nervous wreck
Its not that he misses much
Or even that hes lost his lucky touch
Its just that he gambles so much
And you know that its wrong
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to catch your eye
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
Try to say I told you I told you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting just to get you
Waiting for an alibi
Waiting for an alibi
To say I told you

Heaven Right Now
She's everything
a married man
should look for in a girl
She's married too
but not to you
and that's part of the thrill
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's old enough
to know of love
and know that this is not
But young enough
to not be willing
to settle for what she's got
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
And if you get caught
you're going to hell
but it's heaven right now
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's everything

Cherry, where you been since 9 this morning?
Give me all the names who saw you there
But if they cant remember
I know that youll surrender
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, whats this game you think youre playing
Dont you know I hate those clothes you wear
For Ive seen men undress you
And with their eyes caress you
Another nervous alibi
Cherry, name the day and Ill be waiting
Give me just one chance to show I care
I know if were together
It can go on forever

Sweet Alibi
You got your voodoo workin' on a policy
6 months down with a guarantee
And you don't need money in the first degree
But you're never ever gonna be a wannabe
Well you can catch me liggin' in a dissaray
Stretched out lying on my resume
And I'll be back for another day
But you can bet your bottom buck I'm gonna have my way
So why oh why we always stay together baby
Why I guess it was always meant to be
You give me that
Sweet alibi gimmie that gimme that
Whenever you are fallin' ooh
Your sweet alibi gimmie that gimme that
Whenever you are callin' by
You got your boom boom box in your cherokee
Got your hard drive talkin' to your phd
And when you're lucked out liggin' on your liberty
Gonna bet ya bottom buck you're comin' home to me
Two tone kickers and my herrin bone
Call my baby on the megaphone
With my dv runnin' gonna bump and groan
Whatever road you take you got your way back home
So why oh why we always stay together baby
Why I guess it was always meant to be
You give me that
Sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are fallin' ooh
Your sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are callin' by
If I make a rule you break it
It takes two you know two of us to make it
And heaven knows I try to take it
You give me all of that and that's a fact
'Cos you keep buggin' me
Sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that
Whenever you are fallin' ooh
Your sweet alibi gimmie that gimmie that

Comunque non questo
il modo di fare
disse il commerciante
all'uomo del pane
domani sar festa
in questo stupido paese
ma non per noi che stiamo a lavorare.
L'uomo del pane
fece finta di niente
se ne and tranquillamente
aveva tante tante, tante cose da fare
che lui non ci poteva fare niente.
A questo punto la signora disse
"per favore, son qui da un quarto d'ora
e lei mi deve ancora servire"
"la prego signora mi scusi
che cosa vuole..."
"vorrei un'etto e mezzo di prosciutto
e un po' di cipolline, ancora cipolline"
"va bene gliele incarto
cos fanno 60.000 tonde
mi scusi non ho il resto
le do anche 400 caramelle "
"in cartone?!?"
"no!....sciolte...."
Fu proprio in quell'istante
che la porta si apr
entr un uomo col vestito nero e disse:
"tutti a terra faccia contro il muro
questa una rapina per davvero"
la donna fece un urlo acuto
e dopo svenne in mezzo a tutte le sue caramelle
e poi le cadde addosso lo scaffale
dei regali di Natale...
...ale...male...ale...male
nessuno fuori si accorse di niente
la polizia arriv dopo la gente
e fece un sacco di domande
e prese anche le impronte
poi disse al commerciante
lei deve sporgere denuncia
per adesso contro ignoti
ma vedr che saran pochi
non si deve preoccupare
lei ci faccia lavorare
noi sappiamo come fare
deve solo collabbborare.
Lo portarono in questura
e lo fecero sedere
uscir tra qualche mese
dice devono accertare
controllare, veriffficare
analizzare
eventuali connivenze
coincidenze

Secret Alibi
Piece by piece youre
Tearin me apart
Give to me and try
Another start
Brick by brick you
Really love that game
Things from which i
Cant refrain
So many stories have
Been told
I give a damn,
Theyre just too old
How often will we face
The end of our dreams?
When will I see it
All come true?
A splendid time
For me and you
Can we expect it bein
Nice as it seems?
Will you be
My secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Lets just try each
Others loce so sweet
Till we cant deny
My secret alibi
Ding by ding can you
Dig my dong
It may come short
But it might come long
Limb by limb youre
Climbing up my tree
Making things more
Fun for me
So many stories have
Been told
I give a damn,
Theyre just too old
How often will we face
The end of our dreams?
When will I see it
All come true?
A splendid time
For me and you
Can we expect it being
Nice as it seems?
Will you be
My secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Lets just try each
Others loce so sweet
Till we cant deny
My secret alibi
Will you be
My secret alibi
Angel of my nights
Can we do it right?
Lets just try each
Others love so sweet
Till we cant deny

Say Nothing Else
Confront someone,
In the telling of a lie done.
And watch their eyes,
Quickly shift...
To avoid any acknowledgement of it!
Say nothing else!
And soon you will be entertained...
By someone losing any integrity that remains.
Observe how they drift to protect themselves.
Back and forth with hopes to find an exit.
And instead of admitting,
They've been caught off guard by surprise...
They will try to cover up one lie told,
To excuse it with an alibi.
And that alibi,
Defies the evidence another holds and shows.
Say nothing else.
A culprit knows...
When a self incriminating mouth,
Is best to keep closed.

You'll Know Why
When I tell you that I love you
And you ask the reason why
And I stumble out an answer
Then you begin to cry;
If I say that in the morning
As the bird begins to fly
That our love is winging with him
To the end of all the sky,
Then you'll know why
Our love will last forever
And forever
We need no alibi;
Yes you'll know why
Our love will last forever
And forever
Until the end of time.
When I have you here beside me
And I hold you by my heart
And I tell you that without you
My life would fall apart;
If I say that my tomorrows
I will give to you for free
And the reason for my living
And all I'll ever be,
Then you'll know why
Our love will last forever
And forever
We need no alibi;
Yes you'll know why
Our love will last forever
And forever
Until the end of time.
Yes, You'll know why.

Rhythm & Blues Alibi
[intro]
You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame on the passers-by
You shake your body on the tv screen
It seems to me, youd try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that Ill give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, theres nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old son house in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But Ive got yours, and youve got mine
Its a rhythm and blues alibi
[instrumental]
La la la la la la la la la la laaa..
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the tv screen
Seems to me, youd try anything twice
Youd try anything twice
Well let me hear you now..
Chasing after stories that have already been told,
Couldnt I look old sunhouse in the eyes,
I know where you carry such a fragile load,
And Ive got yours, youve got mine
Its a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la etc.

Anything For Love
In my life
In my time and in each line Ive ever sung
And in my life
Was it my imagination or are you still the one
Who lingers on
Id do anything for you
Youd do anything for me
Wed do anything for love
Oh youd use any means
And I would try any scheme for love
Wed do anything for love
Once or twice
In my loneliness I watched the world go by
There was i
One too many miles beyond where you might say
Some luck was due, after all
We could have touched the sky
You had no alibi because
Wed do anything for love
Oh I would try any means
To have you in all my dreams because
Youd do anything for love
Not long ago as I rememeber
Once upon a dark and windy day
When love looked like a dying ember
Before you came to call
The beauty of it all I though Id lost and yet
Cause in my life
Here in my mind in it now shines
A guiding light
Never again will I lose my way
Oh I would not tell a lie and
You had no alibi because
Wed do anything for love
Oh youd use any means
And I would try any scheme for love
Simply anything for love
Oh I would do anything
Just about anything because
Wed do anything for love
Anything for love

Star 69
You dont have to take the bar exam to see
What you did is ignoramus 103
Where have I got to hang my hat
You dont have line to me
All this just to be your friend
I was there to tell you
Extortion and arson, petty larceny
I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.
I know you called. I know you called. I know you hung up my line.
Star 69.
I know all about the warehouse fire.
I know squirrelies didnt chew the wire.
Three people have my number, the other two were with me.
I dont stand tall, but Im not your patsy.
This time you have gone too far with me.
I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.
I know you called. I know you called. I know you hung up my line.
Star 69.
Whyd you put your quarter down on me?
This reads like some dark inside edition, hard copy.
I cant be your character witness, I cant be your alibi.
Dont arrange the fbi, here this spy versus spy.
You my friend are guilty as can be.
I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.
I know you called. I know you called. I cant be your alibi.

Dont Ask A Friend
(olivia newton-john)
You say you want to know most everything about him
But babe, what youre saying is that you dont want to doubt him
If I told you all the truth you wouldnt want to see him anymore
But Im his friend as well and theres no way I can tell
Tales that will make you unsure
Dont ask a friend; dont make me tell a lie
Dont ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that I would like to help you patch it up again
Im your lonely hearts club friend
Dont ask a friend
Ive known him for so long to me hes like a brother
And if I needed help will I know thered be no other
But youre as close to me as any friend that I have ever known
Im caught up in between his devil and your dream
Please make your choice on your own
Dont ask a friend; dont make me tell a lie
Dont ask a friend to be your alibi
You know that I would like to help you patch it up again
Im your lonely hearts club friend
Dont ask a friend

Humankind, its not fair, why should we all live in fear
Humankind, its a test, to see whos the very best
Humankind, dont know why, no one cares who lives or dies
Humankind, dont look at me, look at yourself, what do you see
People - always tellin lies, they can keep their alibi
People - knockin at my door, how come they want more and more
People - talkin behind your back, most of them drive a gadillac
People - staring at your clothes - I cant take it anymore, no more
Humankind, its a shame, some dont even know their name
Humankind are so strange, some need to be rearranged

Tell me, tell me, whats so wrong, if humans just got along
Tell me, tell me, tell me please, if psychiatric help is

Trust. Not.
Trust.
Not.
Anything somebody says,
To plant and keep inside your head.
Trust.
Not.
Anyone who comes to you,
With news they think you will approve.
Don't ride a lie,
Others drive.
To use you as their alibi,
To bring you down demoralized.
Don't scandalize,
Or compromise.
Or hide your eyes to try to hide,
From those who patronize their lives...
In lies.
To deny,
What they do.
Since it's you...
Who'll be used,
And screwed.
Trust.
Not.
Anything somebody says,
To plant and keep inside your head.
Trust.
Not.
Anyone who comes to you,
With news they think you will approve.
Just to see what you will do.
Like other folks they've trick and fooled,
Too.
And now it's you,
They wanna do.
Don't ride a lie,
Others drive.
To use you as their alibi,
To bring you down demoralized.
Refuse to be a fool,
And from them leave.
Ignore their pleas.
From them leave!
Leave them desperate.
And on their knees.
Trust.
Not.
Anything somebody says,
To plant and keep inside your head.
Trust.
Not.
Anyone who comes to you,
With news they think you will approve.
Like fools will do.
