Black & White World
I was looking at the black and white world
It seemed so exciting
If youd only put me back to back with that girl
When the nights inviting
With just a little lighting
Therell never be days like that again
When I was just a boy and men were men
You never go from moment to moment
Youre the living double of a single fiction
Youre very colourful with your compliments
As you feel the fingers friction
Its a freeze-frame
Still its real life
You dont want to look
Cause youve seen the film and youve read the book
I was looking at the black and white world
Trying to name some pin-up
Those days she was just a beautiful girl
Now shes framed and hung up
I thought she was young
Up until I saw her last night in close detail
Though they all fade away when youre so pale
Its more than just a physical attraction
It starts with a face and ends up a fixation
But youre never gonna feel a fraction
Of the way it used to work on your imagination
When you were looking at the black and white world...

All I Need
Some men need riches and lots of money to spend
Some men need power to hold over other men
But not me baby, girl you can believe
Im telling you my darling
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need fine clothes, big diamond rings
To feel like somebody some men need expensive things
But I feel like somebody, girl, every time you look at me
I dont need nothing to remind me that
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need a fine home on a far hillside
Some men need a big car to show off as they ride
Some men need a pretty woman just to walk by their side
And some men need to see the fear in another mans eyes
But all I need baby, is all I can see
When you wrap your loving arms around me
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl

Turning Into Something Wild
Key:-
A - anita
R - ray
A: tuning into something wild
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
Youre feeling something wild now!
A: youre feeling something wild now!
R: hey precious, hey burning child
Time to tune to something wild
Its new, its hot, its all youre not
Dont turn back, its all weve got
Youre breathless, youre out of step
Time to learn just what is hip
If you think youre in a jumble
Thats the way the cookie crumbles
A: tuning into something wild
Tuning into something
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
Youre feeling something wild now!
R: wilder and wilder
A; you can feel it coming!
R: well, maybe so-- were in a mess
World gone wrong but dont forget
Theres a groove that makes you wonder
How the hell they sample thunder
Its glorious, its boom, boom, boom
Bless the noise that shakes the room
If you think were getting milder
Brace yourself for something wilder
A: tuning into something wild
Tuning into something
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
Youre feeling something wild now!
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
Youre feeling something wild now!
A: hey yeah
R: brace yourself!
Brace yourself!
A: tuning into something wild
Tuning into something wild
Tuning into something wild
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
Youre feeling something wild now!
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
Youre feeling something wild now!
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
Youre feeling something wild now!
A: like a comet from space
Like a slap in the face
You can feel it coming
Like a push in the back
Turning white into black
Youre feeling something wild now!

White Skin Black Heart
Yeah, whatcha gonna do now, now that you started?
Whatcha gonna do now, now that its done?
The words got out there, they float around and are coming right back down.
You gonna leave us lying here
Dealing with the consequences of a bad sound
Of a bad sound.
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
Whatcha gonna do now, that its spoken?
These words of a habit, have not faded away.
.................... it clear, conscious gets opened like a wound.
If you cant concieve a better line and better times,
Then let silence bury you, in the end.
When you feel it, when you feel it
Youre condemned.
You see, youve lost your strangle on the freedom road! you
Think ........................of something a long time ago! you
[spewed it out you were so] insecure! it was like ............. on
The toilet floor! youre a [nine seat] drunk, ............... and
You say you want something, .......... you heard the rednecks
Roaring for blood and then they wanted more! life was so small, you
Couldnt get enough. you made a start.
White skin black heart
Dripping,
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
Drag your eyes from [aurora] black heart!
White skin black heart
Drag your leg, get outta here [my sight]!
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
White skin black heart
You didnt have to start
White skin black heart

Wotcha Gonna Do
Written by ricki, kim & marty wilde
I couldnt believe what I read when I got your letter
Said you needed to take some time to work out your life, yeah
Well, its easy for you to just go off and do what you want
Any time you please
Dont expect me to wait
If you leave its too late
Youre gonna have to crawl back on your knees
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Wotcha gonna do
I knew youd been feeling the need to just change direction
But I didnt know you were gonna walk away from me, no
Now youre out on your own cos you think youve outgrown
All the things that you left behind
But its crazy to see
Cos you know without me
Youre gonna end up losing more than you find
Wotcha gonna do when it gets so lonely
When youre down and so far away from home
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Cos youve made your bed so you can lie in it on your own
Yeah, yeah
Now dont be a fool on yourself
Cos youve got so much to lose
And I really love you baby
Dont you know that I do, yeah
How ya gonna feel, you know it wont get better
Now youre down and so far away
Now youre down and so far away
Now youre down and so far away from home
Wotcha gonna do
How ya gonna feel

Smooth Dancer
Black suede, dont mean youre good for me
Black suede, just brings your mystery
I want to be inside of you
But youre black and I dont know what to do
Youre a smooth dancer
But its alright
Cos Im a freelancer
And you can never break me though you try
To make me think youre magical
Baby, youre the one who can never see the sun
Because it dont shine nightly
Dont you look at me because Im gonna shake free
Youd better hang on tightly
You wanna rule the world, but youre acting like a girl
Whos got a false pregnancy
Youve swollen up inside with nothing but your pride
And yet you keep on dancing
Black suede, dont waste your time on me
Black suede, I sense your mockery
I tried to go along with you
But youre black and I know just what to do
Youre a smooth dancer
But its alright
Cos Im a freelancer
And you can never break me though you try
To make me think youre magical
I think youre crazy, your two-timing ways
They dont bother me none
Youd better do it right because one day or night
Im gonna walk to freedom
You know I loved you once and I wanna love again
But you dont give nothing
You can see it in my eyes so youve got to realize
Baby, I aint bluffing
Black suede, dont waste your time on me
Black suede, dont bring me misery
I tried to be inside of you
But youre black and now I know what to do
Youre a smooth dancer
But its alright
Cos Im a freelancer
And I can tell youre faking though you try
To make me think youre magical
Baby, youre the one who can never see the sun
Bacause it dont shine nightly
Dont you look at me because Im gonna shake free
Youd better hang on tightly
You know I loved you once and I wanna love again
But you dont give nothing
You can see it in my eyes so youve got to realize
Baby, I aint bluffing
Baby, you can rocknroll
But you can never show your soul, smooth dancer

Youre Gonna Get Whats Coming
(robert palmer)
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
Ive got a thunderbird parked right outside
Give me a minute to finish this thing
And well light it.
In all this heat its a job keeping cool
Oh yeah
And I could fry an egg on you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
I hope that youre half as intrepid
As you make out
More often than not, Ill bet
You never got what you asked for
Keep on pouring until you hear me shout
And turn up the sound
If you want me to drive any faster
Caution went out when you walked in the room
If it never came back it would be too soon
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
You came up on me like a landslide
Once in awhile I get taken like that
And I like it
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youre gonna get whats coming to you
Youre gonna get whats coming
Youve been asking for it two days running
Youre gonna get whats coming

Black Honeymoon
(simon/goldman/brackman)
You may think Im dumb
Or you may think youre sly
But I know what youre cravin
Ive been watchin your eyes
Theres a girl cross the room
Shes been glancin this way
Both of you wonderin
When youll have your day
(chorus)
Black honeymoon
Ill be leavin you soon
Next time maybe Ill be the girl
Across the room
Black honeymoon
Shes tossin her hair
She wont meet my stare
I turn to accuse you
You pretend shes not there
The pains not so bad
Cause Ive played thru this game
The players are different
But the moves theyre the same
Now shes gone
And youre smilin back
But my bloods turned to ice, ice, ice, ice
Now I dont feel undone
And I dont feel afraid
Theres nothing quite so cold
As the heart youve betrayed

Now That Youre My Baby

(now that youre my baby)

Youre never gonna run around
Or see that girl who lives up town
Ill be trying everyday
To keep you happy in every way
So you wont ever want to run around
Now that youre my baby
You can kiss your playboy days goodbye
Youre gonna be a different guy
From now on youre gonna be
Spending all your time with me
So you can kiss your playboy days goodbye
Now that youre my baby
I can give you all the loving
Youve been searching for
I love you
Always dreaming of you
You aint gonna run around no more
No, no, no, no more
Baby, I can give to you
A love thats good and oh-so true
So, you can throw your little black book away
Now that youre my baby
I can give you all the loving
Youve been searching for
I love you
Always dreaming of you
You aint gonna run around no more
You can throw your little black book away
Youll be my man starting today
Baby, I can give to you
A love thats good and oh-so true
So you can throw your little black book away
Now that youre my baby
Gonna be a different guy
Youre gonna kiss those days goodbye
Now that youre my baby

Just Dont Like This
Look across the room
I see some guy
Steaming over me
Hes smirking sleazy
Probably be older than daddy
Since you smiled
My expression has changed
Come any closer
Things will be constrained
I walk pass looking good
Doesnt give you the right
To put that hand where you think that you should
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
I dont want any man to tell me what to do
Anyone to say to me my feelings are not true
For your information
I maintain my station
Feel so incredible
Dont need no man to tell me where yo go
Cos this is all you know
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Ill go wherever I know that you wont go
I dont have to tango with your ego
And its just because I said so
They way Im feeling now is mental
The problem first starts in your dentail
I cant believe they let you in dis place
But have they seen the look on your face
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough
Youre no good, Im no fool
I just dont need this
Not this girl, not this world
Just step off, had enough

Isolation
Im stranded here in a dream and theres no ticket back
I feel a cold wind blowin, my future looks black
You left me here and youve taken all my yesterdays
I guess to stand alone is the price that I pay
Now look what youve done to me
Because we just disagree
Im out here alone and its you that Im waiting for
Cant go livin without you, girl
It doesnt matter what you say or do, girl
Cant go livin without you, girl
Isolation
I close my eyes and youre dancin in the moonlight with me
I try to touch you, but you, you had to get free
I turned around and youre nowhere left in sight
Im just a lone survivor, you know it aint right
Now look what youve done to me
Because we just disagree
Im out here alone and its you that Im waiting for
Cant go livin without you, girl
You know that Ill be waiting here for you, girl
Cant go livin without you, girl
Isolation
I remember holding you just yesterday
But youre memory is all that I have today
We were talking bout promises we once had made
But you never came back
Whyd you run away
(you ran away)
Cant go livin without you, girl
It doesnt matter what you say or do
Cant go livin without you, girl
Isolation
Girl, Im so isolated
Cant go livin without you, girl, oh

Cant go livin without you, girl

Black and White
My world is black and white,
The colors I see is black and white,
Hold me tight,
Don’t let me go,
See the tears I have cried,
Listen to my cry,
Look into my eyes,
My world is black and white,
Cut my wrist,
Black my eyes,
Blacken these thoughts I think of,
Black and white is all I can see,
The tears is all I can feel,
Feel me fading away,
Watching myself falling apart,
Look deep into my eyes,
Can you see me,
Can you feel the pain I feel,
I don’t understand why I am feeling this sad,
All the moments that once we shared has faded away like others have,
I never did tried to see the beyond the black and white clouds,
I need to face what I have become,
I need to find my way back,
The black and white is all I can see and feel,
My world has been black and white.

Out Of Control
Everyone says sooner or later youll reach the end of the line
When things get rough some think its easy to jump the ship . . .
You decide
I say--dont throw it away
Theres about a million reasons why
Though youve heard them all before
And youre getting very tired
Lay your head on my lap and Ill sing you this lullaby
Chorus
Dont you know
That everyone around you
Has felt the pain you feel today
Youre out of control yeah--and you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning itll only be a dream
Youre out of control . . .
Theres a cloud-rollin overhead and it seems to rain on no one else
Theres a black sun--casting a black shadow,
And I know you feel so all alone
Youre out of control--and you want the world to love you
Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know
That you live and breathe and suffer
And your back is in the corner and youve got nowhere to go
Nothin for nothin--everythings right at your fingertips--for a price
Who ever said that life on this planet would ever be paradise
I say--dont throw it away, youve got too many things to say
If you throw your life, if you throw away your life . . .
The world will never be the same
Chorus
Youre out of control--and you move without direction
And people look right through your soul
Youre out of control--and you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning itll only be a dream
And I wish that I could tell you, itll only be a dream

Girl youre everything, dont you know youre alright

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Still, your pretty face is the prettiest Ive seen
Dont you know I only want to be with you

Youre my everything

Too Much Is Not Enough
(turner, held, greenwood) 4.19
Youre so extreme, youre super heavy
Youre one step over the line
Not what you seem, dont try and tell me
I know whats really on your mind
Once you get started youre out of control
Dont play that sweet and innocent with me girl
I know you know you want to rock and roll
But I got just what you need
I, I want to feel your love
Too much is not enough
I, I want to feel your touch
Too much is not enough
Youve got it bad, youre hopelessly addicted
Youre always searching for the cure
Love is the crime, you stand convicted
You keep on coming back for more
Come on admit it, youre over the top
That song and dance wont work with me girl
You just cant quit it, dont know when to stop
But I got the remedy
I, I want to feel your love
Too much is not enough
I, I want to feel your touch
Too much is not enough
Baby stop wasting time
And let me know that youre mine
I need to feel your embrace
How much can I take

To get over someone
And try to start a new
A new relationship
No need to rush cuz you
Have all the time in the world
Right now lets focus on
How we can keep you happy
[chorus:]
You can call on me
No matter what the situation
I will be there
Put your trust in me
Whenever you need somebody
I will be there
I know your broken hearted
Your love is truly over
He left you sad and lonely
Now youre feeling empty
Youve got to realize
He made a big mistake
Leaving you was the worst thing he could ever do
I can feel it when you hurt
You will never be alone
All those crying days are gone
Ill be here to guide you
Baby I will be right there
And you know I will always care

Baby listen to me
And girl you will see
That Im the only one for you
Ill give you what ever you need
You can depend on me
Ill be your friend
I will always be right there, oh

Girl, youre never alone
Oh, all those days are gone
I will be there
Oh, I will be there
Just to guide you
Youre never alone

Right there, right there
You dont have to worry
Im gonna be by your side
Even when times are hard
Just count on me and
I will always be there

Life #9

Dont tell me no stories I dont
Want to hear no lies
No reason, or excuses,none of
Your alibis
The phone rings I pick it up nobodys
On the line
I know shes waiting for you shes
Just biding her time
Youd have me believe its just a
Night out with your friends
But I know youre going back to see her again
Chorus:
Youre stealing love
Living on life #9
Breaking my heart
Living on borrowed time
Youre catting around
Playing with fire
Youre stealing love
Living on life #9
Youre running on empty troubles
On every side
Youve used up your last chance
Youve got no place to hide
Im tired of these heartaches tired
Of living a lie
Go to her shes waiting
But someday youre gonna find
The grass aint always greener on the other side
Now what you thought was love was what you left behind

Sixteen
Youve been a juvenile
With a dolphin smile
With no elbow room
Youve had in your little backyard
Portected by big walls
You didnt dare look over
cause youve been too small
Now youre finally sixteen
And youre feelin old
But they wont believe
That you got a soul
cause youre only sixteen
And youre feeling real
But you cant seem to cup a feel
Why do they have to force us
Through this metamorphose
Little butterfly
No matter how you try
Youll be segregated
Youre gonna be closed off
Youre callow and youre green
cause youre caught between
Youre only sixteen
Try to cross the line
But your little wings are interwined
Youre only sixteen
And youre such a tease
And theres nothing you can do
That can really please
These children
Theyre not really bad most of them
Theyre just products
Of rotten neighborhoods
And bad family situations
You know you cant forsake it
So sit back and take it
You see youre just not ripe
So dont try and fight that
Youre only sixteen
You wanna catch a peek
But they look at you
Like youre such a freak
Well youre only sixteen
With a lot to say
But they wont give you
The time of day
Youre only sixteen!
Youre only sixteen!!
Youre just sixteen!!!
You poor little thing

Since Youve Been Gone

Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one taking your place
Since youve been gone
Ive just been foolin around
Since youve been gone
This worlds been turned upside down
Didnt think Id find a girl that I could not forget
Anything we started not so long ago - aint over yet
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
You turned me on
Since the first time I set eyes on you
You turned me on
Ooh the things you want me to do
Dont get me wrong
cos youre not the only girl Ive ever had
But since youve been gone
Girl you know the thought of yous driving me mad
All I do is think of you I lie awake - lie awake
And no matter how I try this loneliness - you know I cant take
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one to stand in my way
Since youve been gone
So scared of losing this time
Since youve been gone
Girl you know that I cant get you out of my mind
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know that I was wrong
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Tried my best to read between the lines
If some things are hard to say
You better tell me one more time
Since youve been gone
Since youve been gone
