Sleep Of The Just
The soldier asked my name and did I come here very often
Well I thought that he was asking me to dance
In my holy coat and hat and him in his red bonnet
Wed have made a lovely couple but we never had the chance
[chorus]
And now you say that youve got to go
Well if you must you must
I suppose that you need the sleep of the just
Well it was a powerful day and there were black crows in the road
And I kept my strong opinions to my chest
I suppose I should have told them that I was on fire for you
When the bus burst into flames outside some place, the poets rest
[chorus]
A girl woke up in a naked light and said oh no not again
He even looked like her brother in the army but she never mentions him
Hell be tucked up in his bed tonight with his dirty-pictures girl
Saying, youre some mothers daughter you know or is it
Immaterial girl?
Now shes pinned up upon the barracks wall in her home town
All the soldiers taking turns with their attentions
And as they speculate what shed look like beneath that thin nightgown
His family pride was rising up as he cast his eyes down

Ah, youre sure bout lots of things, look out theres one mistake

You hear what they tell you, do you do what youre told
And if they say yes, does it mean its really so?

Youre ready for the thrill tonight, you think youll take it slow
But shes forgotten more, boy, than you will ever know
She calls you up in the middle of the night, she says shes lonesome and alone
Youre all revved up, finally some place to go
You knock on that door - nobodys home
Never can be too sure about the girl
Ooh, you never can be too sure about the girl
You leave her there, when you get back
She calls ya bill, when your name is jack
Never can be too sure about the girl

Shes Crafty
Well this girl came up to me - she says shes new in town
But the crew been said they seen her around
I thought they were right but I didnt wanna know
The girlie was def and she wanted to go
I think her name is lucy but they all call loose
I think I thought I seen her on eighth and forty-deuce
The next think she said, my place or yours?
Lets kick some bass behind closed doors!
We got into the cab - the cab driver said
He recognized my girlie from the back of her head
He said a little something about tip to base
So I made him stop the cab to get out of the place
I shouldnt have looked back man Ill always regret it
Somethings going on and Ill probably never get it
She was crying like a baby - stupid dumb
Its just too bad that girls a bum
(chorus) shes crafty - shes gets around
Shes crafty - shes always down
Shes crafty - shes got a gripe
Shes crafty - and shes just my type
Shes crafty
I spent my last dollar to by a sabrett
When I seen this girl I could never forget
Now I like nothing better than a pretty girl smile
And I havent seen a smile that pretty in a while
The girl came up to me she said she loved the show
Asked her to come home and she couldnt say, no!
We got the crib - theres adam and d.
We didnt say a word - they just stared at me
I said, i dont know her just met her tonight.
And adrock started hiding everything in sight
D. pulled me over said, hid your gold,
The girl is crafty like ice is cold!
The girl is crafty - she knows all the moves
I started playing records - she knew all the grooves
He thought she was a thief - and d. was right
But I just figured shed spend the night
When I woke up late in the afternoon
She had taken all the things from inside his room
I found myself sleeping in the middle of the floor
She had taken the bed and the chest of drawers
The mirror, the tv, the guitar cord
My remote control and my old skateboard
She robbed us blind - she took all we owned
And the boys blamed me for bringing her home

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
Sulky girl [4x]

Shes A Mystery To Me
Darkness falls and she
Will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is gray
Where I can find my way
Without her as my guide
Night falls, Im cast beneath her spell
Daylight falls, our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
Shes a mystery to me
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
In the night of love
Words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut
Like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run, shes pulling me apart
Fallen angel cries
Then I just melt away
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Haunted by her side
Its a darkness in her eyes
That so enslaves me
And if my love is blind
Then I dont want to see
Shes a mystery to me
Night falls, Im cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes, our heaven turns to hell
Am I left to burn
And burn eternally
Shes a mystery to me
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes...a mystery girl
Mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl
Shes...a mystery girl
Shes a mystery girl

Which One Of Them
The girl at the bar she bought me a beer
And shed like to know if Im new around here
And the gal that I danced with says shes all alone
Her friends have all left and she needs a ride home
Oh and there have been others who gave me the eye
But if they only knew they were wasting their time
Cause theres only one lover I can give my heart to
But you didnt want it and you broke it in two
(chorus)
(so tell me) which one of them will be you tonight
Oh which one will hold me in your arms so tight
Ive forgotten whats wrong, given up on whats right
(tell me) which on of them will be you tonight
So Ill just smile and pretend and shell never know
Who shes up against when shes holdin me close
Youre all that I want, girl, youre all that I need
And when I close my eyes, honey youre all I see

I just landed
Girl on fire
I felt the heat
From sydney to london
Well she shut my mouth
With her repartee
I opened hers
With the rest of me
Girl on fire
Baby burn burn burn
Girl on fire
Baby burn burn burn
Outta the shadows
Comes a dirty song
The same old faces
Try to keep you in line
I saw you laughing
At the very first show
You lit up the city
From the twenty-sixth floor
Girl on fire
Baby burn burn burn
Girl on fire
Whats saving her
Baby burn burn burn
Baby burn burn burn
Baby burn burn burn
I just landed
Girl on fire
I felt the heat
From new york to london
Well she shut my mouth
With a repartee
I opened hers
With the things that I say
Girl on fire
Thats the heat that burns
Girl on fire
How the flames make you learn
Girl on fire
Baby burn burn burn
Girl on fire
How the flames make me yearn

Who wants to show em
Good people want to be
Really what they are
But if you try, you will fry
Plenty before catching fire

Who works on tension
I need a gendarme
Cause Im after ascension
When the guns raise, hit my back
On a naked day

No matter what I have to say

And they say, hes the one, hes the one, hes the one

Youre cut deep with self-destructivity
Your minds made up, youre heading for the day
When youll shake and your heart breaks

In the arms of the night
Well how many times have we looked up into the starry skies
And how many times have we felt the passion rise

I Told You So
Verse 1
Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And Im tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized youre all I ever wanted
And its killing me to be so far away
Would you tell my that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say...
Chorus
I told you so, I told you so
I told you some day youd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now Ive found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
Verse 2
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that youve missed me too
And that youve been so lonely
And youve waited for the day that I returned
And wed live and love forever
And that Im your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned
And would you say...

We Cant Unmake Love
Before God and family we made the perfect start
And swore death would be the only thing to keep us apart
But were fighting just like soldiers on a field of battle now
And the life we made together is our only common ground
Shes got your eyes, my nose and our hearts
(chorus)
We cant unmake love
And just erase all the years
The sweetest little girl
In all the world will still be here
We promised love would last
Shes living proof it still does
So even if we wanted to give up
We cant unmake love
Remember how the future looked as wed lie awake and dream
Thinking just how powerful the love we made could be
And I cant help believing its all still possible
But if coming to our senses is gonna take a miracle
Shes right upstairs, right now, asleep

Working Girl
Come monday morning
You see her waitin
On the street for her ride
In an hour shell be working
In a tower made of steel in the sky
Shes just a pawn in the struggle
In a never-ending fight to survive
Mama had to play someone elses game
You learn to keep it inside
Chorus:
Working girl, livin in a mans world
Working girl, you gotta take a stand girl
The boss checks out her body
Shes on the phone tellin his lies
Run and get the coffee
And a smile hides the rage in her eyes
Tonight shes searching for a reason
As shes walking home alone in the rain
Mama had to play someone elses game
Someday shes breakin the chain

Nobody knows the dreams
She dares to dream
The plans she had made
Or the times she has prayed inside
Or what tears at her pride
