Places
We move in and out of watching
Faces
Float around the hotel lobby like
Fishes
Theyre all blowing air
We know it must mean something
But we just stare
We stood
On primrose hill like statues we were
So good
Walked along the locks and into
Camden
Tried on silver shoes
And orange plastic jackets
Places
We move in and out of fast as
Hail stones
Make jokes hey isnt that the the word for our
Tombstones
So that everyone will know
When theyre out one afternoon
Stop to read the stones

Makin Moves
All the boys hangin out down in the parking lot
The night riders giving all they got
While the girls look so good at looking bad
/out strutting/ [Im struggling] dressed in the latest fad
Valentino looks for something new
Escapes for the night and waits his cue
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way theyre makin moves
Kids clothe armour hands like battle dress
Got his act down, some kind of feeling
And tonight theyre gonna make the run
Downtown, call the garrison
From the back roads through the alleys it screams
You gotta get a feeling mean, mean, mean
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way theyre makin moves
[instrumental]
Rockface going nowhere fast
Some gonna make it, some dont even last
Just one night they dont give a damn
Im the star , hides another sham
Theres no silver and theres no gold
Its just that one shot before theyre old
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they make you move
Ooh I love I just love the way they make their move
Makin moves

Life Is ~ The Stones Under My Feet
Life is the stones under my feet
All the places I've walked
All the places I haven't
They say something about who I am
The pebbles that I pick up to toss in the ocean
The boulders I've sat on
The skipping stones I throw across the lake
Gravel and sand
And cobblestone streets
Places with history
Places where history is about to be written
And what it has to say for my history
All those stones that I've crunched
Under my boots
Or sandals
Or sneakers
Or just my bare feet
Walking carefully
And there occasionally is a piece of glass
When I cut myself I bleed
But I heal in the end
Then I get up to walk on more stones
Because life is where you choose to walk
And where you don't

Private Eyes
Lyrics & music: daryl hall, warren pash, sara allen, janna allen
I see you, you see me
Watch you blowin the lines when youre making a scene
Oh girl, youve got to know
What my head overlooks
The senses will show to my heart
When its watching for lies
You cant escape my
Private eyes
Theyre watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
Theyre watching you
Private eyes
Theyre watching you watching you watching you watching you
You play with words you play with love
You can twist it around baby that aint enough
Cause girl Im gonna know
If youre letting me in or letting me go
Dont lie when youre hurting inside
cause you cant escape my
Private eyes
Theyre watching you
They see your every move
Private eyes
Theyre watching you
Private eyes
Theyre watching you watching you watching you watching you
Why you try to put up a front for me
Im a spy but on your side you see
Slip on, into any disguise
Ill still know you
Look into my private eyes

Say It Isnt So
Irving berlin
You cant stop people from talking
And theyre talking, my dear
And the things theyre saying
Fill my heart with fear
Now I could never believe them
When they say youre untrue
I know that theyre mistaken
Still I want to hear it from you
Say it isnt so, say it isnt so
Evryone is saying you dont love me
Say it isnt so
Evrywhere I go, evryone I know
Whispers that youre growing tired of me
Say it isnt so
People say that you
Found somebody new
And it wont be long before you leave me
Say it isnt true
Say that evrything is still okay
Thats all I want to know
And what theyre saying
Say it isnt so

My Fish Family
Theres a man on the front porch
Says hes related to me
But lately Im finding
It hard to believe
This house is filled with
Spooks and ghosts
They say theyre family
But they are strangers at most
Theyre strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But its hard with all those scales
Of good and bad you see (2nd time: of morality)
Theyre my fish family
My fish family
They may try and hook me
Or put me in a tank
They may try and book me
For robbing a fish bank
cause misunderstanding comes easily
But theyre blowing bubbles
And I can hardly breathe
And when will they understand
I just wanna marry a man
Without seaweed in his teeth,
Without barnacle for hair
Without seaweed in his ears
But their fish ears wont hear me
Theyre my fish family
Theyre strange fishes of the deep blue sea
And absolutely nothing like me
They swim around their little treasure chests
When it comes to loving me they give it their fish best
But its hard with all those scales of morality
Theyre my fish family
My fish family.

Brother Where You Bound
Theres a red cloud hanging over us
And its so big and its gonna burst
All you people with your heads in the ground
Hey brother, where you bound?
And theyre no good and theyre everywhere
Try to tell you, but you just dont care
Try to hear you but you dont make a sound
Hey brother, where you bound?
Hey brother, where you bound?
And you dont know what theyre gonna do
And you dont know how they feel
And you dont know what theyre tellin you
Is it a lie or is it real
And the next thing that you know is
That they walk out on the deal
And the message that theyre giving you
Is the same old alibi
If you dont quite see their point of view
Then they treat you like a spy
And the phone rings and you disappear
In the middle of the night
Cant you see theyre on the move
Dont know what youre trying to prove
But you sit there oh so cool
Like they never broke no rules
And the cat flies and the crow walks
And the ghost dies and the sow talks
And they tell us that theyll be good as gold
Blieve nothing that youre told
Hey brother, wheres your soul?
Make a move in one direction
Try to make some compromise
But they greet you with rejection
Makin out youre tellin lies
Then they turn around and tell you
Better get down from the sky
For the sake of all thats holy
Listen good to what I say
I can feel them all around me
They could be here any day
But you act like you dont know me
Why d you look at me that way
If theres one thing that is clear
We gotta get away from here
Weve gotta leave this place
Its just a hopeless case
Aint no one else to blame
Were gonna lose this game
Hey brother get off my back
I gotta tell you, youre way off the track
They got a hatred deep down inside
Aint gonna let them take me alive
Im gonna burn them down, just wait and see
Aint gonna let them walk over me
Boy you aint got no heart and soul
And your mind is weak and your bloods runnin cold
You better move, you better hide
Theyre gettin in, theyre gettin inside
If you get caught you better know
Theyre gonna reap, youre gonna sow
Dont be a fool, we gotta go
Aint no place safe for us to stay
We better move on, we better move on

We Live So Fast
Please dont ask me to stay
Im leaving this town
Dont worry now
Believe me as I believe that
Luck is on my side
The future is mine
If I can find
A way through these strange days of my life
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We cant stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way its time to make it happen
The streets deserted and cold
Theyre not paved with gold
But I dont care
For those who think young will still survive
Making their move
Hoping to prove
That they can face
This big city, small world, big time
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We cant stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way its time to make it happen
But now I know their ways
I found my place
Saw their true face
Theres nothing to stay for so Ill go
Ill pick up the phone
Still searching for home
We life so fast
Alone but not lonely I move on
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We cant stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way its time to make it happen

Muswell Hillbilly
Well I said goodbye to rosie rooke this morning,
Im gonna miss her bloodshot alcoholic eyes,
She wore her sunday hat so shed impress me,
Im gonna carry her memory til the day I die.
Theyll move me up to muswell hill tomorrow,
Photographs and souvenirs are all Ive got,
Theyre gonna try and make me change my way of living,
But theyll never make me something that Im not.
Cos Im a muswell hillbilly boy,
But my heart lies in old west virginia,
Never seen new orleans, oklahoma, tennessee,
Still I dream of the black hills that I aint never seen.
Theyre putting us in little boxes,
No character just uniformity,
Theyre trying to build a computerised community,
But theyll never make a zombie out of me.
Theyll try and make me study elocution,
Because they say my accent isnt right,
They can clear the slums as part of their solution,
But theyre never gonna kill my cockney pride.
Cos Im a muswell hillbilly boy,
But my heart lies in old west virginia,
Though my hills are not green,
I have seen them in my dreams,
Take me back to those black hills,
That I have never seen.

Nothing Can Move Me
There's talk about some people
That maybe you know
The heroes and the villains
And the places that they know
The highest and the finest
The lowest of the low
Just stop and get it through you
There's somewhere you can go
Tell you what I do when I'm lonely
I'll tell you what I do when I'm blue
Tell you what I do when I'm lonely
I close my eyes and think about you
['Cause] nothing can move me like my rock n roll
Nothing can blow me away
Nothing can move me like my rock n roll do
Nothing can move
Nothing can move
Nothing can move me away
You wake up in the morning
The wrong side of the bed
The spirit that was in you
is hammering your head
You crawl up to your hi fi
Select a side or two
Sharpen up your needle
and feel it coming through
['Cause] nothing can move me like my rock n roll
Nothing can blow me away
Nothing can move me like my rock n roll do
Nothing can move
Nothing can move
Nothing can move me away
['Cause] nothing can move me like my rock n roll
Nothing can blow me away
Nothing can move me like my rock n roll do
Nothing can move
Nothing can move
Nothing can move me away

Germs
Sometimes I really want to be alone
But thats one state Im never in
Because I know that Ive got millions upon millions
Of tiny, one-celled organisms living on my skin
(germs) I rub and scrub until my flesh is raw and bleeding
(germs) but they just come right back
(germs) I cant even see em, but I know theyre up to something
Hey, dont touch that - you dont know where its been
Theyre all over me
Theyre inside of me
Cant get em offa me
Im covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
Whatll they do to me
Theres no escape for me
Im crawling with ... microscopic bacteria
Now if I ever dare to go to sleep
Thats when they start their sneak attack
In the morning I wake up in utter horror
To find my teeth are covered with bacterial plaque
(germs) cant get those parasitic creatures off my face
(germs) and theres more comin every day
(germs) I never said that they could camp out on my body
I wish theyd pack their tiny little bags and move away
Theyre all over me
Theyre inside of me
Cant get em offa me
Im covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
Whatll they do to me
Theres no escape for me
Im crawling with ... microscopic bacteria
Theyre creepin around my shorts
Theyre under the bathroom sink
Theyre ridin inside my car
Theyre swimmin in my drink
Theyre hidin between my toes
Theyre lurkin in every kiss
I got em way up my nose
In every orafice
Im gonna show them whos boss
Im gonna get even yet
Just gimme some lysol spray
Just hand me a moist towelette
Dont tell me Im paranoid
I know that theyre after me
Look under the microscope
See? ?
Theyre all over me
Theyre inside of me
Cant get em offa me
Im covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
Whatll they do to me
Theres no escape for me
Im crawling with ... microscopic bacteria
Theyre all over me
I can feel em all over me
Over every part of me
Microscopic bacteria
I know theyre watching me
Theyre always watching me
Theyre coming after me
Microscopic bacteria
Wont somebody help me
Please somebody help me
Youve got to believe me
Theyre out to get me
They wanna control me
They wanna destroy me
Theyre tryin to kill me
It kind of upsets me

I love little girls they make me feel so good
I love little girls they make me feel so bad
When theyre around they make me feel
Like Im the only guy in town
I love little girls they make me feel so good
They dont care if Im a one way mirror
Theyre not frightened by my cold exterior
They dont ask me questions
They dont want to scold me
They dont look for answers
They just want to hold me
Isnt this fun
Isnt this what lifes all about
Isnt this a dream come true
Isnt this a nightmare too
(repeat first verse)
They dont care about my inclinations
Theyre not frightened by my revelations
Uh oh take a second take
Uh oh its a mistake
Uh oh Im in trouble
Uh oh the little girl was just to little
Too little, too little, too little
Isnt this what lifes all about
Isnt this a dream come true
Isnt this a nightmare too . . .
And I dont care what people say
And I dont care what people think
And I dont care how we look walking down the street

Angels
Take this man to prison, the man heard herod say,
And then four squads of soldiers came and carried him away.
Chained up between two watchmen, peter tried to sleep,
But beyond the walls an endless prayer was lifting for his keep.
Then a light cut through the darkness of a lonely prison cell,
And the chains that bound the man of God just opened up and fell,
And running to his people before the break of day,
There was only one thing on his mind, only one thing to say:
Angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angels watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me!
God only knows the times my life was threatened just today.
A reckless car ran out of gas before it ran my way.
Near misses all around me, accidents unknown,
Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home.
But I know theyre all around me all day and through the night.
When the enemy is closing in, I know sometimes they fight
To keep my fight from falling, Ill never turn away.
If youre asking whats protecting me then youre gonna hear me say:
Got his angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angles watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me....
Angels watching over me....
Angels watching over me.
Got his angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angels watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me!
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me!
Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home....

Whispers that youre growing tired of me,

And it wont be long before you leave me,
Say it isnt true.
Say that everything is still okay,
Thats all I want to know.

Say hes younger than i

Knocking round The Zoo
Just knocking around the zoo on a thursday afternoon
Theres bars on all the windows and theyre counting up the spoons
And if Im feeling edgy theres a chick whos paid to be my slave
But shell hit me with a needle if she thinks Im trying to misbehave
Now the keepers trying to cool me says Im bound to be alright
But I know that he cant fool me cause Im putting him uptight
And I can feel him getting edgy every time I make a sudden move
And I can hear them celebrating every time I up and leave the room
Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare
Said hes just like the rest of us so whats he doing in there
They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight
cause theyre certain about one thing that zoos no place to spend the
Night
Just knocking around the zoo on a thursday afternoon
Theres bars on all the windows and theyre counting up the spoons
And if Im feeling edgy theres a chick whos paid to be my slave
But shell hit me with a needle if she thinks Im trying to misbehave

Watching Me Watching You
I sit by the cutting on the beaconsfield line.
Hes watching me watching the trains go by.
And they move so fast --- boy, they really fly.
Hes still watching me watching you watching the
Trains go by.
And the way he stares --- feel like locking my door
And pulling my phone from the wall.
His eyes, like lights from a laser, burn
Making my hair stand --- making the goose-bumps crawl.
Hes watching me watching you watching him
Watching me
Im watching you watching him watching me
Watching stares.
At the cocktail party with a bucks fizz in my hand
I feel him watching me watching the girls go by.
And they move so smooth without even trying.
Hes still watching me watching you watching the
Trains go by.
And the crowd thins and he moves up close but he doesnt speak.
I have to look the other way.
But curiosity gets the better part of me and I peek:
Got two drinks in his hand --- see his lips move ---
What the hells he trying to say.
Hes watching me watching you watching him
Watching me.
Im watching you watching him watching me
Watching stares.
Hes watching me watching you watching him
Watching me.
Hes watching me watching you watching
The trains go by.
Hes watching me watching you watching him
Watching me.
Hes watching me watching you watching him watching me.
Hes watching me watching you watching him watching me watching him watching.

Paper Thin Walls
These walls are paper thin and everyone hears every little sound
Everyones a voyeurist, theyre watching me watch them watch me right now
Theyre shaking hands, theyre shaking in their shoes, oh lord dont shake me down
Everyone wants to move them and half of everyone else moves around
Its been agreed the whole world stinks so no ones taking showers anymore
Laugh hard, its a long ways to the bank
I cant be blamed for nothing anymore
Its been a long time since youve been around
Laugh hard, its a long ways to the bank
Tow the line to tax the time you know that you dont owe
I cant be a fool for everyone that I dont know

Theres someone knockin on my door
I think theyre looking for me

Pretend there aint nobody home
Dont make a sound, dont even move
Dont give them nothing to see
I think theyre looking for me

Theres someone crawling in my yard
Theres someone creeping on my roof
Theres someone tapping my phone
I feel it deep in my bones
They want to probe my intuition
They want to find out what I know
Why dont they leave me alone
Why dont they leave me alone
I got to run
I got to run
I got to run
Might be the catcher
Or the controller
Cant be too careful
I take precautions
Theyre very clever
I got to run
Faceless surgeons armed with razors
Cut out our imagination
(repeat first verse)
(repeat chorus)
Faceless surgeons armed with razors
Cut out our imagination
Its a strange thing
Deadly reason
Razors cut with such precision
Probing deep without detection
Razors never lie
But its all right

I think theyre looking for me
I think theyre looking for me
I think theyre looking for meeeeeeeeeee

Every Need In Me
I've got to move...
From memories,
Haunting...
Every need in me!
I've got to move.
I've got to move...
From shadows,
And dark places.
I've got to move...
From despairing melodies,
That keep me in such solitude...
And,
Deep dark gloomy moods!
I've got to move.
I've got to move...
To open all closed windows.
And,
I've got to move...
More than two steps away from doors.
Closed within I've been.
And I've got to...
Leave behind memories,
Haunting...
Every need in me!
I've got to move.
I've got to move...
From memories,
Haunting...
Every need in me!
I've got to move.
I've got to move...
From memories,
Haunting...
Every need in me!
I've got to move.
I've got to move...
From memories,
Haunting...
Every need in me.
I've got to move.
I've got to move.
I've got to move...
From memories,
Haunting...
Every need in me.
