Human Hands
Ive been talking to the wall and its been answering me
Oh darling how I miss you
Im just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
With only the blue light of the tv on
Lip reading threats and false alarms
Theres a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
And a girl in a window on the reeperbarn
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
That its you that Im dreaming about
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands
With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
But the girls dont listen to your line anymore
Now youre part of someone else
On the factory floor and you still say wheres the action?
Now you manufacture happiness
And get sold on the cheap for someones satisfaction
(chorus)
All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
In between saying youve seen too much and saying youve seen it all before
Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
You know I love you more than slightly
Although Ive never said it like this before

No Tighter Wish
Tangi & left eye
(appears on the kazaam soundtrack)
It was november on that cloudy day as I remember
Ten months into his life for a clock began that night
A strife shes on the panickin tip
Get to the hospital quick
Jumped out the car fore it hit
She grabbed the baby and slipped to the ground
Saved the day thought everything was ok
To find him covered in blood
This is the story of love
Chorus:
Let me tell you what I know
Know I love you miss you so
Aint no tighter wish in this world
Than to have you again
Dreaming you are here with me
Look the same from seein you last
Aint no tighter wish in this world
Than to have you again
Theres an empty space in my heart
When things break down its all because
Lonely days without you I have to figure out
Now wha Im gonna do
Dont mean to cry all the time
I know youre safe and sound
I dont think I could ever be satisfied again
Chorus
Whatever happened that day
That we lost baby jose
You gained a strength that no man
In this world could take away
And so I kicks this one for you
No tighter wish is true
Its not a day goes by that I dont think
Of little precious baby boo
And cuz this moment is yours
I shed my tears through the years till no more
Behind these closed doors
And you can count on me
From now till forever
We be them birds of a feather
Flyin together through the stormy weather
It dont begin til it ends
Sing it again
And again, and again, and again, and again
Chorus
When people say to me (ay-o tangi)
I have a surprise for you
The first thing that comes in my mind (uh huh)
Is someones bout to bring me you
Yo check it
I know sometimes you ask why
But dont cry just keep your head up high
Cuz in them heavenly skies (you know Im tryin)
Awaits the sun yes the one
One to come with your eyes
Tangis eyes (Im tryin)
And no he holds no remorse (Im tryin)
Just ask the source hell amend like I said
It dont begin til it ends
So sing it again
And again, and again, and again
And again, and again, and again

Make Sure Youve Got It All
Im watching you go from room to room
With all your boxes and your broom
Packing up, sweeping out and taking down
From off the wall
Everything thats part of us
Tear my whole world down if you must
Dont even leave one little speck of dust
Make sure youve got it all
Chorus
Take my heart, take my soul
Take it all with you when you go
Just leave the floor here to catch me when I fall
You stole my pride and dignity
You took it all away from me
Take one last look around, girl, before you leave
Make sure youve got it all
Dont even leave one photograph
The memory of one smile or laugh
Check the closet up in the attic and down the hall
Take your time, take your rings
Take the sandbox and the swings
Without a family theyre just things
Make sure youve got it all

Love Or Money
Just dont look, no matter what they say
Dont let her get to you, make her go away
But youre only human
And the best laid plans of men go astray
So all your good sense
Goes out the door
When you see that girl walk across the floor
Too late youve seen her
Youve had a glimpse of paradise
Chorus
You never want to have to choose
Is it love or money now
Even if you win you lose
Is it love or money now
Ill close my eyes, I dont want to see you
Just go ahead say what you will
And Ill agree
I dont want illusions
Dont want confusions anymore
Chorus
Is it love or money, I said love or money
That can make your dreams come true
I know it sounds so funny
But its always love or money
That makes you do the crazy things that you do

Going Under
I hear the door slam shut, so I know that youre home
Youve been out all night, Ive been here alone
And Ive been wondering if youre the same person I knew
The bright lights that shine in your eyes, they make me blind
I hear a footstep on the stairs so I know that youre near
Youve returned from pursuing your nocturnal career
And I dont ask where youve been, with who, or if theyre your friend
cause I dont really want to know right now, I dont know when I will again
Chorus
Going under, drifting down, going under
And I know youve still got a ways to go down before
We can rise back up into the light
Were going under, drifting down...
I hear you coughing in the hall so I know youre all right
It will be morning soon, through the gloom I see daylight
But in this room right now I am alone, I am unsure
I dont know what you feel anymore and it scares me so

If I Dont Have You
Every day girl I wake up and pray
That youll come back home
And dont take to long
cause since youve been gone
Everythings gone all wrong
I wish you were here
Holding me near
You know Id go
Out of my mind
If you ever left
My heart beats high
So Im begging you please
Bring your sweet love back to me(please come back to me)

If I dont have you(dont have you)
To hold on to(to hold on to)

In this world alone
Baby its true
If I dont have you
If you said good-bye(you said good-bye)
Girl I would die(girl I would die)
Im a star with no light
A day with no night
If I dont have you
Late at night
I reach to hold you tight
But youre not there(youre just not there baby)
I know you still care(I know you still care)
And all I need
Youre soft and love, lovely kiss
You give to me (to me)
So tenderly
Will you still feel
The time will stand still
When I see you, baby you will
So hurry home
You know you made me just so

Fade Away
Well now you say youve found another man who does things to you that I cant
And that no matter what I do its all over now between me and you girl
But I cant believe what you say
No I cant believe what you say
cause baby
(chorus)
I dont wanna fade away
Oh I dont wanna fade away
Tell me what can I do what can I say
Cause darlin I dont wanna fade away
Well now you say that youve made up your mind its been such a long,
Long time since its been good with us
And that somewhere back along the line you lost your love and I lost your trust
Now rooms that once were so bright are filled with the coming night, darlin
(chorus)
You say its not easy for you
And that youve been so lonely
While other girls go out doing what they want to do
You say that you miss the nights when wed go out dancing
The days when you and I walked as two
Well girl I miss them too
Oh I swear that I do
Oh girl
Now baby I dont wanna be just another useless memory holding you tight
Or just some other ghost out on the street to whom you stop and politely speak when you pass on by vanishing into the night
Left to vanish into the night
No baby

Hold On
(written by natalie cole, marvin yancy and kevin yancy)
You know, of all the things in the world Id miss
It would probably be music and love
They say you dont know what youve got til its gone
Thats so true
Even though we still take it for granted
And I used to be like that but not anymore
cause I found out what love really means
Love means happiness and dedication
Love will sometimes bring complications
But you must have faith and a whole lot of trust
Most of all you can never give up just
(hold on, hold on)
Hold on to your good thing, yeah
(hold on, hold on) forget about the small things
(hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love
And remember that love is a feeling
But its also an action, yes
Youve got to give sometime
If you want to get back some, well
And when all the kings horses
And even all the kings men
Cant put it together again
That is exactly when youve got to
(hold on, hold on) hold on to what youve got
(hold on, hold on)
Its the little things that mean alot
(hold on, hold on) do it for love, do it for love
In spite of everything, no matter what
Youve got to h-o-l-d on (you gotta hold on)
Hold on, hmm, hmm, hmm, ooh, oh, oh
Youre so hard headed
cause you feel that youre right
Well, tell me how you gonna feel
In the middle of the night
All alone, all alone
I know, I know
It doesnt matter whos right or wrong
If you feel so inclined
To blame that shame on someone else
Ooh, stop and think about it
Point the finger at yourself
Ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Hold on to your good thing (hold on)
Forget about the small (hold on) things
(hold on) and hold on
Hold on, oh hold on (hold on)
Real tight in spite of everything
Hold on (hold on)
When you feel like walking out that door

Ode To A Would Be Lover
Verse1:
Lay your head down by my side
Look that way just one more time
And promise me... nothing
I know time isnt ours to keep
But that doesnt mean I cant watch you sleep
Listen to the strength of silence
Verse2:
Theres a sweet sensibility
And darling that is enough for me
I know you are taken
But, do I get to you just a little bit
I know Im as close as Im gonna get
And though my heart is close to breaking
Chorus:
Oh if youre any kind of man at all
You know the woman I am
So darling dont be afraid I wont break plans youve made
I will be just a friend
Verse3:
Flowers grow in the month of may
And they brighten my every day
Youre here for me now and Im laughing
And though I crave your soulful kiss
I can deal with it as it is
Two tall ships passing
Chorus
Verse4:
I dont doubt for a moments time
The hearts not a mirror of the mind
But think it through anyway
And if you wake up a lonely child
And want to escape for a little while
Come to me and well dance out in the rain
Friend or lover we can dance out in the rain
If I said Im in love with you
Tell me what then would you do?

I Want Action
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
I grab my hat and i
Grab my shoes
Tonight Im gonna hit
The streets and cruise
Down the main strip and
Check it out
With those schoolgirls
A hangin around
Now Im a sucker for a pretty face
I dont care if shes in leather or lace
Cause Im just lookin for a little kiss
Chorus:
I want action tonight
Satisfaction all night
Youve got the love I need tonight
Long legs and short skirts
These girls hit me where it hurts
I cant wait to get my hands on them
I wont give up until they give in
Now Im not lookin for a love that lasts
I need a shot and I need it fast
If I cant have her, Ill take her and make her
Chorus, solo
Hey, sweetheart, slide on in here
No, not in the front, jump in the back
Why?
Cause theres something back there I want to show ya
I want action tonight

Oh, well

Logic & Love
Logic and love
(feldman / chandler)
Love and logic just dont go together
Try to force it, youll be trying forever
Why discuss it when youre missing the point
Girl
Forget the fakin all I care is that youre
Chorus:
Making all the right moves
Youre making all the moves that hit the spot
Youre speaking only half-truths girl
Just tell me all the things I like a lot
Stop thinking youre much too intense
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try to say were just good friends
Logic and love clash in your head
You dont see reason you just see red
We could argue till youre blue in the face girl
The time youre taking is the time you could be
Repeat chorus
Im talking logic and love
Im talking logic and love
Our scientific world demands that everythings
Explained
Youre an ultra-modern girl
But cant you see theres nothing to be gained
In analyzing love
Youre making only false moves
But everything you do still hits the spot
And do you know what that proves girl
That love is far away the best we got, you know
The best of lovers dont have to be friends
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try to say were just good friends
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try girl dont pretend
Im talking logic and love

Logic and love

Too Late To Quit
Takes all my might
To find a hole that feels right
To bury myself
In a deep sleep at night
I hear a voice
Coming from the hillside
Says Ill show you the way
I will show you the light
But Im tired
Im tired
Im much too tired
Im tired
Hes says I know where you were headed
And youre half way there
But youve got to be careful
Youve got to beware
Some people want to hurt you
Some people dont care
But Im never gonna give you
Any more than you can bare
[chorus]
Theres nothing left here to rise above
Were not talking bout that kind of love
Youve got people here counting on you
Nows a good time
To learn how to pull through
Sometimes a good idea
Just isnt enough
Youve got to do the work
Now get your ass up
There isnt really such a thing as bad luck
Yeah, but once I shot an arrow
In the sky and it stuck

Youve got to keep movin
Youve got to keep pushin
Youre never gonna get back
Anymore than youre givin
Life is for the living
Youve got to be willin

Be Your Own Girl
I know youre tired of waking up on the floor
Pushed to the edge with nothing heavy to hold
Using your clothes as a blanket and a bed
Holding your hands just to lay your head
I know you dont remember ever falling down
Who picked you up, who gathered around
But you dont have to be his girl
And you dont have to be my girl
You can always be your own girl
With the sound of your feet you follow yourself to sleep
Restless and ageless and looking for somethin to keep
When you finally fall asleep youre awake in dreams
Hanging by the ankles in a skeleton ravine
I know youve kicked the lights, fell on your shoes
Punched out the colors, leaving you the blues
But you dont have to be his girl
And you dont have to be my girl
You can always be your own girl
Theres a soft melody thats ringing in my ears
Simple and slow and it always brings you here
With broken crayons youve scribbled on the wall
Shapes of nothing and shadow box them all
Your fingertips are broke and your knees dont bend
Your imagination took the worst hit and cut its skin
But you dont have to be his girl
You dont have to be my girl
You can always be your own girl
Theres a soft melody thats ringing in my ears
And its the same one you could never avoid in yours
And if you lay down you can hear from tongue to tails
About a tattooed rhythm and drumming by color wheel
Your rung is broken on the bottom of the rope
And you cant tie another, another knot of hope
And you dont have to be his girl
And you dont have to be my girl
You can always be your own girl

Preserve the pearl and youll fall deep down
If you cannot swim you have to drown

Oh what are you gonna do
When theres a part of you
That needs to run with the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Stay out of shadows
Now look like the change is on
Tomorrows never gone
Today just never comes
Go on and jump,yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forger the pain
Its only there
To exorcise your mind
Looking at the world
When youve open up your eyes
Youve got to see the promises theyve made
Theyre bloody lies and broken dreams
Your silence screams

Youre living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that youve never seen
Somewhere youve never been
Youre living in a time machine
Oh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to catch the wind
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking for the world
When youve opened up your eyes
Youll see youve got invisible chains
Theyre only lies
Not what it seems
I hear your silent screams

Youre living in a time machine
Nobody cares just where you go
Taken where youve never been

Youre living in a time machine

Youre living in a time machine

Beats all Ive ever seen.

Said you was goin for a sunday drive,
Yeah, here it is now four days later,

Put the word out on the street,
And I heard you was down in memphis,
With a big man in the drivers seat.

Got me a hidin in the bushes,
Peekin in the window pane,
Shadow moves along the wall,
I know youre in there with another man,
Tried to get in the front door,
Went around to the back door too,
I believe youve got a side track man in there,
Making my sweet love to you.
Chorus
Makin my last proclamation,
Gonna lay it on the line,
Baby Im runnin out of patience,
And you are runnin out of time,
Tired of all of your mean things,
And all your dirty tricks,
If I ever turn on you baby,
Youre gonna be in some kind of fix.

God Is A DJ
[VERSE 1:]
I've been the girl with her skirt pulled high
Been the outcast never running with mascara eyes
Now I see the world as a candy store
With a cigarette smile, saying things you can't ignore
Like Mommy I love you
Daddy I hate you
Brother I need you
Lover, hey "f*** you"
I can see everything here with my third eye
Like the blue in the sky
[CHORUS:]
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm
You are the music
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
You get what you're given
It's all how you use it
[Verse 2:]
I've been the girl- middle finger in the air
Unaffected by rumors, the truth: I don't care
So open your mouth and stick out your tongue
You might as well let go, you can't take back what you've done
So find a new lifestyle
A new reason to smile
Look for Nirvana
Under the strobe lights
Sequins and sex dreams
You whisper to me
There's no reason to cry
[CHORUS:]
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm
You are the music
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
You get what you're given
It's all how you use it
[BRIDGE:]
You take what you get and you get what you give
I say don't run from yourself, man, that's no way to live
I've got a record in my bag you should give it a spin
Lift your hands in the air so that life can begin
If God Is a DJ... If God
If God is a DJ (life is a dance floor)
Get your ass on the dance floor
[CHORUS (2X):]
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm
You are the music
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
You get what you're given
It's all how you use it
