New Amsterdam

Youre sending me tulips mistaken for lilies
You give me your lip after punching me silly
You turned my head till it rolled down the brain drain
If I had any sense now I wouldnt want it back again
New amsterdam its become much too much
Till I have the possession of everything she touches
Till I step on the brakes to get out of her clutches
Till I speak double dutch to a real double duchess
Down on the mainspring, listen to the tick tock
Clock all the faces that move in on your block
Twice shy and dog tired because youve been bitten
Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost-written
Chorus
Back in london theyll take you to heart after a little while
Though I look right at home I still feel like an exile
Somehow I found myself down at the dockside
Thinking of the old days of liverpool and rotherhithe
The transparent people who live on the other side
Living a life that is almost like suicide
Chorus

Cuckoo Clock

We knew it must have been late
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
We had no time to wait
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
I went to light the fireplace
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
I planned it all this way, and
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
I snuggled close to her
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
Her heart began to purr
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
I held my breath inside, and then
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
I put my arms around her
(tick-tock)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo
I put that birdie away
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
His cuckoo was gone to stay
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
We both apologized for why
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
Forgave that doggone cuckoo
I went back to her side
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
I had to swallow my pride
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
The fire had almost died away
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
We just got situated
(tick-tock)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo
I took that clock apart
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
I broke the cuckoos heart
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
Hell never bother us again
(tick-tock, tick-tock)
We just forgot about him
(tick-tock)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo (go away silly bird)
Cuckoo, cuckoo

Till We Get The Healing Done

Down those old ancient streets
Down those old ancient roads
Baby there together we must go
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till youre satisfied with your life
Till youre satisfied with your life
Till youre satisfied with your life
And its running right, and its running right
Till you deal with the poison inside
Sometimes youve got to sit down and cry
When you deal with the poison inside
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till you feel the tingle up your spine
Till youre satisfied and youre mine
Till you feel a tingle up your spine
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till you live in the glory of the one
Till you live in the land of the sun
Till you feel like your life has just begun
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till we dwell in the house of the lord
Till you dont have to worry no more
Till you open a brand new world
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till it makes you feel alright
Till youre satisfied with your life
Till you know you live in the light
Till we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done
Till you look at the mountains every day
Till you wash all your troubles away
And you live right here in the day
Till we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done
Oh till its truth and its beauty and its grace
Till youve finally found your true place
Till you know your original face
Till we get the healing done
Oh child, till we get the healing done
Oh when everythings going right
Till youre satisfied with your life
Till youre living in the light
Till we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done
Oh when you feel it, when you feel it in your soul
Baby, and you really know
That you reap just what you sow
When we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done
Till you know that its working every time
Till you work it out in your mind
And you know it straight down the line
Till you get the healing done
Oh make no worry till we get the healing done
Oh we gonna go back, back to our favourite place
Oh look at it again
See it all through different eyes
When we get the healing done
Oh when we get the healing done
Oh were living for the grace of the lord
Baby feel so good about it all
Oh give thanks every day
Till we get the healing done
Oh till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Oh baby, baby till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Baby you got to stay
Till we get the healing done
If it takes to the break of day
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
Till we get the healing done
You got to stay all night long
Till we get the healing done

The Best Is Yet To Come

(s. colman/c. leigh)
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started to hum
Still its a real good bet, the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come and babe, wont that be fine
You think youve seen the sun but you aint seen it shine
Wait till that warmups underway, wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day, you aint seen nothin yet
(chorus)
The best is yet to come and babe, wont that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that youre mine
Come the day youre mine
Im gonna teach you to fly
Weve only tasted the wine
Were gonna drain the cup dry
Wait till your charms are ripe for these arms to surround
You think youve flown before but honey, you aint left the ground
Wait till youre locked in my embrace, wait till I draw you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place, aint nothin like it here
(chorus)
Come the day your mine
And youre gonna be mine

Hit The Black

Hanging by a thread, problems in my head,
Dont know what I said, living to be dead on the run.
Corporation greed, television need,
Overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, Im a liar.
Theres no brakes on me, as Im running down the track.
Theyll be waiting for me, but Im never coming back.
Im going down...
To a place where I can see all there is to see in me.
Bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun,
Think Ill take a ride to the other side, till Im done.
Hole is in the vein,
Feel it numb the brain, take away the pain,
Never be the same till I die.
Theres no brakes on me, as I come around the track.
Theres no gauge to read,
Peg the needle as I hit the black.
Im going down...
To a place where I can see all there is to see in me.
Population freeze,
Modern day disease,
Brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure.
Profit in the wind,
Pushing back the time that we wait in line,
Pushing back the time, its a sin.
Theres no brakes on me, as Im running down the track.
Theyll be waiting for me, but Im never coming back.
Im going down....

Hit It

1st verse
Somebody said what are you doin down there
Trying to make me a living
All I want is to get my fair share
Im pleading but nobodys giving
Maybe Im wrong, and I dont see things clear
But I know how I feel after all the these years
Ill keep fighting the pain and the heartache and tears
Chorus
Then Ill push it, going to work it
Keep right on till I hit it
Im going to push it, going to work it
Keep right on till I hit it
Push it, going to work it
Keep right on till I hit it
Im going to push it, going to work it
Keep right on till I hit it
2nd verse
Looking up cause Ive got time to spare
Today the sun aint shining
Im still searching everywhere
For my cloud with the silver lining
People say that enough is enough
Turn my back on this thing put it down to bad luck
But the day I do that, then my life will be up
Chorus
So Ill push it, going to work it
Keep right on till I hit it
Im going to push it, going to work it
Keep right on till I hit it
Push it, going to work it
Keep right on till I hit it
Im going to push it, going to work it
Keep right on till I hit it

Shes Beside You

Written by dan peek, 1976
Found on hideaway.
Do wop, do wop ...
Youve got to give, youve got to live
Youve got to show everyone that you know
Till you know shes beside you
Till you know shes beside you
Youve got to shout all about
Youve got to tell everyone that you know
Till you know shes beside you
Till you know shes beside you
cause I know just how it feels
To find that love is real, so real
Youve got to shout all about
Youve got to tell everyone that you know
Till you know shes beside you
Till you know shes beside you
cause I know just how it feels
To find that love is real, so real
Youve got to give, youve got to live
Youve got to show everyone that you know
Till you know shes beside you
Till you know shes beside you
Till you know shes beside you

When Are You Coming Back?

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/ a. morris)
Chorus:
Tell me when youre coming back
When are you comin back, when are you coming back
When are you comin back, when are you coming back
(when are you comin home, baby, baby)
When are you comin back, when are you coming back
When are you comin back, when are you coming back
You were in my arms yesterday, and now youre gone
I still feel your lips on mine, still feel your touch
Safe inside your arms is where I want to be, cant stand this space
Boy, Im gettin lonely, and out of place
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Chorus
I sit here and wait patently for the telephone
Funny how I miss you, and I miss you so
When youre not at home
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Chorus x 2
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Dont stray for too long
(till the next time)
Go back to my arms
Chorus

Whip-smart

Im gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green
And whip smart as the english channels wide
And Im gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress
And his watch on any hand between his thighs
And Im gonna lock my son up in a tower till I write my whole lifes story on the back of his big brown eyes
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing
Im gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap
And games are just another way of life
And Im gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes
Because for every truth there are half a million lies
And Im gonna lock my son up in a tower till he learns to let his hair down
Far enough to climb outside
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing
When they do the double dutch, thats them dancing

Halo 3 style parody of Kesha's Tick Tock

Tick Tock
Wake up in the morning feeling like Tsquared
Got my glasses. I’m going online
I’m gonna hit the power button!

Before I leave brush my teeth with a can of Dr. Pepper
Cause when I game you know I ain’t going out!
I’m talking BR-ing all my foes, foes
Trying on Recon armor, an striking a pose, pose
Boys dropping from my meele blows, blows
Cause I’ll be playing my favorite Cd
Pulling up to bungie with marty
Trying to get a little bit warmed-up

Don’t stop
Make it pop
Blow their heads up
Tonight Imma fight until I see the sunlight
Tick-tock on the clock
But the killing sprees won’t stop
Woah oh oh oh DOUBLE KILL
Woah oh oh oh TRIPLE KILL
Don’t stop
Make it pop
Going for the over with a sniper headshot
Blow their heads up
Tonight Imma fight until I see the black screen
Tick tock on the clock
But the frenzies won’t stop
Woah oh oh oh DOUBLE KILL
Woah oh oh oh TRIPLE KILL
Ain’t got a care in the world, but I got plenty of BR ammo
Ain’t got no rockets in the chamber but I’m already here… OVERKILL!
Now the dudes are lining up for autographs cause they hear we got swagger
But we’ll kick to the curb unless they look like MC with that reach dagger
I’m talking about everybody meeting their doom, dooms
Boys trying touch my boom booms
Gonna smack in the back if he getting too cocky, cocky

Now, now we goin till they 4 down, down
Until we capped and got the crown crown
Po po shut us down
Don’t stop
Make it pop
With a sniper headshot
Tonight Imma fight until I see the black screen
Tick tock on the clock
But riots don’t stop
Woah oh oh oh DOUBLE KILL
Woah oh oh oh TRIPLE KILL
Don’t stop
Make it stop
With the sniper headshot: EXTERMINATION!
Tonight imma fight until I see the black screen
Tick tock on the clock
But the rampages don’t stop
Woah oh oh oh DOUBLE KILL
Snipedown, you stole my triple kill
Why you gotta break me down?
My heart it pounds
Yeah you got him: (
I was reloading
You got him
You got that kill
Can’t believe you shot him

You steal my kills!
Why breaking my spree?
My heart it pounds, cause you stole him
You got him with one shot
So you show me what you got
Cause we winning this tournament,
this ain’t swat
So step it up
So step it up
Now the game don’t start till I walk in
Don’t stop
Make it pop
With a sniper headshot
Tonight imma fight until I see the black screen
Tick tock on the clock
But the untouchables don’t stop
Don’t stop
Make it pop
With a BR headshot

Pure Simple

(j. van zant, e. king, r. johnson, m. lunn)
I used to live in a poor neighborhood
My friends and me we always had a time
Never had no money but we had it so good
Those days are gone and I wanna go back
So pure so simple
Never thought about it when youre young you dont care
You dont realize it till its all behind
Take it for granted just not well
(chorus)
Oh-oh it was pure and simple
Ill remember those days till the end
Oh-oh God knows its simple
If I could live my life all over again
Id keep it pure and simple
Those days are gone and I wanna go back
Got me a feelin Im not alone
Wish I had a road so I could go back home
(repeat chorus twice)

Niagara Falls

Baby, so you think you can start again?
You got somebody new,
But the same thing keeps happening.
At the moment of truth,
Whoever youre loving,
You will be thinking of me.
Chorus:
As long as niagara falls,
As long as gibraltar stands,
Till hell freezes over
Ill always be your man.
Tell me, when youre there lying by his side.
Do you make him believe all your needs have been satisfied?
Does he know that your heart is taken forever?
Girl, you will always be mine.
Chorus
Time cant erase
What you feel in your heart
You cant replace the love
No, it doesnt matter how hard you try.
Girl, youre gonna miss my loving till the day you die.
Till hell freezes over
Chorus
Alternate chorus:
As long as niagara falls,
Until the end of time,
Till hell freezes over,
You are forever mine

Till All The Lonely's Gone

well hank made a living out of lonely
he sang liek a freight train whistle moan
Said "You'll never get our of this world alive"
as if he'd always known ,lord,lord
as if he'd always known
Rode down that hillbilly highway
took a big black cadillac on home
and he said "driver keep on driving"
'till all the lonely's go
(Chorus) 'Till all the lonely, 'Till all the lonel
'Till all the lonel's gone, gone, gone
Let's just hold on to eahc other
'Till all the lonely's gone
I told my mama, "Dear sweet mama,
I'm tired and weary to the bone
Just let me walk along your flowers"
Makes me wonder why i roam, lord, lord
Makes me wonder why i roam
Feed me biscuits and milk gravy
'Till your baby's feeling strong
We'll sit up picking on the front porch, yeah
'Till all the lonely's gone
(Chorus)
Well now Jesus was praying in the garden
He never felt so all alone
They knew his suffreing was over
When they rolled away stone, Lord , Lord
When they rolled away the stone
On golden staris he walked to heaven
and there he's waiting on the throne
He loves to hear his children sing and shout
'Till all the lonely's gone
(Chorus)

Out Of My Bones

Im in need of a remedy to cure me from loving you
It may sound a little extreme Ill do what I have to do
Chorus:
Bury your jacket in my backyard
Carry your picture in my shoe
Keep walking till the hurting stops
Keep walking till my temperature drops
Keep walking till the fever is gone
And youre out of my bones
Im in need of a medicine
Something strong thatll work real fast
That I can take to fortify me
To keep my arm from taking you back
Chase that ghost out from under my bed
Still these voices in my head
They keep talking weaving their spell
But Im talking to myself
I keep em talking to daylight to dawn
Till youre out of my bones
Sweet amnesia come and set me free
I just need to get you out of me

Suicide Countdown.

suicide, suicide i wish i was dead.
suicide, suicide oh how much my wrists have bled.
suicide, suicide were almost there.
suicide, suicide no more skin, the blade will tear.
suicide, suicide we have one week.
suicide, suicide so filled with relief, i cannot speak.

seven days, suicide; until i die.
six days, suicide; no longer will i cry.
five days, suicide; ooh i cant wait.
four days, suicide; until i meet my fate.
three days, suicide; till my last word is said.
two days, suicide; twenty four hours till im dead.
one day, suicide; till night tears through dawn.
today, suicide; i am dead, i am gone.

Anything You Want

Ian prince
You were so right all along
I wouldnt believe till love had gone
Replacing the old with the new
And now that I want to see it through
You tell me you care
But hes still inside your heart
And its tearing me apart
That Im anything you want
Chorus:
Ill be there to listen to everything you cry
All you need
Ever to believe in you without a reason why
For your love
Ill be near to be with you to wipe the tear away
Though its hard for me
Im anything you want
(Ill be anything...)
Baby, it was so wrong and we both knew
And yet it was all that I could do
You were living a life you could not feel
Thinking he was the way to make it real
Cant let him go
Im still a part of you
Ill do what I must do
Anything you want
Chorus
Bridge:
Every time you talk about hum
Youll never know how it hurts my heart
But, Ill be there for you baby
Hes still inside your heart
Its tearing me apart
Anything you want
Ill be there...

Its Not A Song

Day turns to night, and I turn into bed.
Cant get to sleep; somethings in my head.
Pacing the floor, I try to force a rhyme.
Why do I fear this time?
Its not a song till it touches your heart.
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Now close your eyes; look into your hand.
What do you see?
Life is our song, to give and learn to take.
Time will not wait.
Oh, wont you please come dance,
While the songs still playing,
Wont be long till the silence falls.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
Its not a song.
Its not a song till it touches your heart. (its not a song.)
Its not a song till it tears you apart.
After whats left of whats right and whats wrong,
Till it gets through to you,

Automation

Tick tock, tick tock,
computer's clock,
steal lady of the night.
She sits alone while birdies flock
to bid her a goodnight.

Tick tock, tick tock,
computer's clock,
the world's automated
and the lady in a metal cloak
will live alone, unaided.

Tick tock, tick tock,
computer's clock,
her hard drive stirs again
and while I type this poem,
so dies my mighty pen.

Tick tock, tick tock,
computer's clock,
so true, so true the fear
that life as we once knew it
has slowly disappeared.

Tick tock, tick tock,
computer's clock
we victims of our time.
The last bird flies above us
while all of nature dies.

You Dont Know What Love Is

Ah hoo. oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Oh ooh oh oh.
Last night I saw you as I stood in the rain
Brought me right back to that feeling again.
I tried to hide the tears in my eyes
But you didnt see as you walked on by.
Tried to forget ya, I tried to move on.
But the deeper Im feeling, the harder I fall.
Nothing else matters at all. let me tell you.
You dont know what love is till you lose it.
You dont know what youve got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark and takes you and tears you apart.
You dont know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Till it breaks your heart.
Sometimes I think back when our love was new.
The crazy things that we used to do.
How could love thats so right turn to something so wrong
Still cant believe that youre really gone.
Wish I could stop all these thoughts in my head
Wish I could take back the words that I said
Its a lesson Ill never forget. let me tell you.
You dont know what love is till you lose it.
You dont know what youve got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark. takes you and tears you apart.
You dont know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Ooh ooh. yeh.
Love has no season, no beginning nor end.
No rhyme or reason, to the way the story ends.
No way of knowing how a broken heart mends.
Still we keep fallin time and time again.
You dont know what love is till you lose it.
You dont know what youve got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark. takes you and tears you apart.
You dont know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Till it breaks your heart. ah ooh. till it breaks your heart.
