Head Above Water
Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
Oceans emotions yeah we all feel the same
Afraid of undertow and great tidal wave
May go under many hundred of times
Keep on kickin, baby throw me a line
C.c. sick, mai de mer
Try, try, try Im holding on, holding my
Head above water
Its so hard to keep my head above water
No never envy the big fish in da pond
Its deep and dark when all the surface is gone
My kind of humor kind of keeping me dry
On the horizon, water touches the sky
C. c. sick, mal de mer
Try, try, try Im holding on, holding my
Head above water
Its so hard to keep my head above water.

I Can't Go For That
Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
Easy ready willing overtime
When does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line
You got the body now you want my soul
Don't even think about it say no go
Now i'll do anything you want me to
I'll do almost anything that you want me to
But i can't go for that

Use the body now you want my soul

Dig This Well Deep
With one thing and another
Banged my head against the wall
Always looking over my shoulder
And it makes no sense at all
Chorus
Im going to dig this well deep
Its a promise I must keep
Im going to dig this well deep
cos I want to find water
Im going to dig this well deep
Going to sow before I reap
Im going to dig this well deep
cos I want to find water
Cynics try to hold me in the graveyard of their egos
Put my dreams out with the trashman and they left me on a plateau
Holding on and keeping strong
When you are walking on a tightrope
Holding on and keeping strong
When you are wilted down to your last last hope
See it through to a conclusion even if it leads to nowhere
Sometimes there is no solution but the water tastes as good there

Hard To Be In Love With You
Lyrics: daryl hall john oates
Music: daryl hall, john oates, neil jason
Dont want to face it but I know that its time to go home
I cannot say what I want to say when were alone
Ive got to leave but I want to stay
Where you are is so far from the u.s. of a.
When were more than half a world away
Its so hard to be in love with you
Operator, international 011, oh
Put your love on the line, put your ear to the phone
Maybe its no longer than a night and a day
But where you are is so far from the u.s. of a.
And it aint so easy, easy on the heart
Its so hard to be in love with you

Unguarded Minute
Lyrics: daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
Maybe I speak too soon
Maybe I play too hard
And I listen to major worries in a minor way
You sent your message to me
Made a move that Id understand
When you moved from a ticket in line
To a room in l.a.
There was a time spit second I could have said please
Fool around and my guard was down by a few degrees
An unguarded minute has an accident in it.
I guess I should have tried a little bit
Yeah, I could have changed
I could be anything that ya want
But it wouldnt be me
Do anything that you say
Use any thought to armor the way
So do you love them man that I am,
Or what you want me to be
I wanna hold you now but I can let you go
So anytime you can do better just let me know
An unguarded minute has an accident in it
I wanna hold you tight.

Looking for Water
Still the leaves are spinning 'round
Take my hand as we go down, and down, and down
Looking for water
Well, our light's gone in a New York minute
Don't know about you, but my heart's not in it
(Looking, looking, looking)
I'm looking for water
I'm looking for water
(Looking, looking, looking)
I can't breathe the air, can't raise a fact
'Cause all we've got left is a beat in the night, and I'm
(Looking for water)
Looking for water
(Looking for water)
(Looking, looking)
Take my hand as we go down, and down
Leave it all behind, nothing could be found
(I'm, looking for water)
I'm looking for water
(Looking for water)
(Looking, looking)
(I, looking for water)
Looking everywhere
(Looking for water)
Looking here and there
(I'm looking for water)
I'm looking for water
(Looking for water)
(Looking, looking)
I can't live in this cage, I can't eat this candy
The edge of the earth to the spin in my head
The look in your eyes and never means never
The dawn's early light, baby, dark is forever
(Looking, looking)
(Looking, looking)
(Looking for water)
(Looking, looking)
I
(Looking for water)
(Looking for water)
(Looking, looking)
I
(Looking for water)

Looking, looking)

Looking, looking)

Im In Pieces
Music by daryl hall
Lyrics by daryl hall, janna allen
Why do I go all to pieces
When youre breezin by
My desire makes me shy
The words I wanna say to you
But baby Im afraid to
'cause Ive been a fool in love
Over and over again
You gotta know Im in trouble
Im all undone
Got my heart in your hand, understand? .
Cant cool down the passion
Cant stop the reaction
So be careful with a fool in love
Who is over his head again
Im in pieces
Im in pieces over you
Girl I cant hold. out
Got to hold back my obsession
'cause I care too much
But its hard-to pretend (once again)
Cant slow down every heartbeat:.:
No catchin up on lost sleep
Gone so far and Im so deep over my. head again
Im in pieces
Im in pieces over you
Girl I cant hold out
Guess Ill go to pieces now
You shatter my pattern
You let me see daylite
Im takin up habits
Just to break em all over again

Missed Opportunity
Music by daryl hall
Lyrics by daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Keep on missing each other
Our worlds out of order
All I see is missed opportunity
Will we ever learn
In trouble where will we turn
And when youre losing the fight
Whos your white knight gonna be
Feel you drift away
(oh baby) you dont hear what Im sayin
We had a chance to stay together
Ooh forever
But we got lost in the dream
Keep on missing each other
Our worlds out of order
All I see is missed opportunity
Talk but never show
Youre holding back
Words lack meaning thats all
Things you say ricochet
Miss by a mile
The words dont work for me
Ooh who understands.
Why the worlds nasty girl
When we re doin the best we can
Even tho were walking a wire
Where theres hope theres desire
Calling you back to your white knight

You Make My Dream
Lyrics: Daryl Hall, John Oates, Sara Allen
Music: Daryl Hall
What I want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame
What I've got's full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how, I can't explain
But You make my dreams come true
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrape yourself around me
'Cause I ain't the way that you found me
I'll never be the same
'Cause You may my dreams come true
I'm down on the daydream
That sleepwalk should be over by now
I know that You make my dreams come true

Water so Deep and Profound
Water so sinuous and devious,
And as mystifying as you.
Water is always hiding its true self,
Never in one form.
Water can be the shimmer,
Reflecting off the light of the pond,
Making the pond seem magnificent.
Water can be the rushing sound,
As it escapes the secretive pond,
And runes down into the vast ocean,
Seeking adventure and unfound dreams.
Water can be the feeling of calmness,
As it sits there, overlooking the pond,
With wonder and seeing how it made it what it is.
Water so supple and wondrous,
The pond is born from the water.
Water so deep and profound,
Just like you,
The pond so incomplete without water,
Just like your family.

Tell Me What You Want
Lyrics: daryl hall, sara allen
Music: daryl hall
When I look in your eyes I can see theres more than passion there
Something ugly and lovely is tuning in just behind your stare
Yeah, Ive seen it before and I think that Id know it anywhere
So tell me girl what you want
I know you know
Grin and bare it, no no I like what youre wearing
You gotta leave it on all night
As above so below so they say so can we do the magick [sic] right
Kiss and tell, when I know you so well theres no need to be polite
Thats right
So tell me girl what you want
I know you know
Take a position 'cause you know Im gonna listen to you
Tell me
Aint no conditions, no there isnt baby ya dont have to sell me
'cause I love you and I want you tonight
So tell me girl what you want
I know you know.

Waterborne love with Neptune’s Daughter
I’m goin’ wash you
right outa my hair
I’m goin ‘to wash you right outa’
this torrid affair,
I’m goin’ wash my hands
of you untrue
Once made my mouth water,
the likes of you,
You held my love like water
on a ducks back
You conniving water nymph
dressed in black,
Plying your waterborne love,
in you I did trust
Lying on your waterbed
goading my lust,
My God I knew this would
not hold water
Are you really the delinquent
Neptune’s daughter,
Swimming off with that
water canon hulk
Hope your water course leads
to the Isle of Sulk.
Now I feel like a water holding
frog waiting for rain
To swim in rivers of
love again and again,
With my tear filled water pistol
I’ll aim at you,
To water you down,
finally meeting your Waterloo.

Downtown Life

Lyrics by daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene & work it brother
Moving thru sound
Citys like wild life
Overgrown & living undercover
Wound up so tight
We love the downtown life
Driftin thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life. it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
Velvet lou was a neighbor of mine
Now he walks the dog in jersey, brother
Yuppies in black doin white collar crime
Scared away the. local color
But they cant steal the nite
We love the downtown life
Driftin thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
Downtown life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the lite to come
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
My baby knows shes got to go for this kind of life
'cause city love cant stand. to see the sunlite
Dawn patrol better leave me alone
'cause I can only take it for so long
Going down isnt hard to do
The king of clubs and.queen of hearts fall too
She says, if you believe this is only a lonely time,
Stay at home boys the blues are lost on you
Aint it true
We love the downtown life
Drifting thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
Downtown life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the night to come
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on

Got a good education now
And Im ready for the world (yeah)
Weve been going together
Its gonna last forever, it aint never gonna change
Im a real hard charger (yeah)
Everybodys gonna listen to me
Were a winning combination, that nobodys gonna rearrange
Big kids breakin up cause theyre lookin for fun
Everybodys leavin, boy-girl on the run
My situations static, theres no reason to fear
Its too calm around me and it cant happen here
Big kids - think they know it all
Big kids - think theyve got the world up against the wall
All the grown-ups show me that theyre only big kids in disguise
Who do you think your leaders are? big kids
Who do you think your heros are? big kids
I may never reach maturity but, baby, Im gonna try

Cant Get It Out Of My Head
By elo, as performed by fountains of wayne
Midnight, on the water
I saw the oceans daughter
Walking on a wave she came
Staring as she called my name.
And I cant get it out of my head
No, I cant get it out of my head
Now my whole world is gone for dead
cos I cant get it out of my head.
Breakdown, on the shoreline
Cant move, its an ebb tide
Morning dont get here tonight
Searching for her silver light.
And I cant get it out of my head
No, I cant get it out of my head
Now my whole world is gone for dead
cos I cant get it out of my head, oh no
Day job, in the city
Robin hood & william tell & ivanhoe & lancelot
They dont envy me
Sitting as the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps spinning round & around
And I cant get it out of my head
No, I cant get it out of my head
Now my whole world is gone for dead
cos I cant get it out of my head.
No, I cant get it out of my head
No, I cant get it out of my head
Now my whole world is gone for dead
cos I cant get it out of my head, oh no

Under The Water
Bees are buzzin in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Cant escape the scratchin
My blood makes a noise
Its hard not to play when there are so many toys
So many toys
Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who Ill become
Theres a hole inside my head where all the thoughts break out
Sometimes my flesh is filled with forgetfulnes and doubt
Its easy to feel separate, no control of the reigns
Innocence aint lost it just needs to be maintained
It needs to be maintained
Beside me are strange fish, moody and dark
A tapestry of intention that maintains the spark
And theres a tiny light
A flicker within
Forgiveness is the needle that knows how to mend
It knows how to mend
Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who Ill become
(spoken rap)
Ive decided to hear who we will become
Wanna lay down in the water, go back to where Im from
Outer space is just a puzzle of stars
Music the mechanics of the human heart
A post that stirs, a shadow that casts
An insatiable thirst drains a martini glass
Theres no place sacred, no honest reflection
Our senses made senseless by a lack o direction
Monks are great with their fists uncurled
But they live in a cave, they know nothin of the world
I wanna live brave, I wanna love without fear
But its hard to navigate when I cant even hear
(do do do do do do do,
Do do do do)
Bees are buzzin in their honey catacomb
All the noise seems to call my head a home
Cant escape the scratchin
My blood makes a noise
Its hard not to play when there are so many toys
Therere so many toys
Under the water
The total is more than the sum
Under the water
I hear who Ill become
Under the water
My flesh is filled with stars
Under the water
I hear who we really are
Under the water
I lay my burdens down, down, down
Under the water
All resistance drowns
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
(do do do do do do do, do do do do)
Come on, come down, down, down under go,
A-go down on and go down under
Go under the water
I hear who Ill become
Under the water
I lay my problems down
Under the water
All my resistance drowned

Never true blue to me, so why are you getting nasty
Well, it's lucky for you that I'm gonna keep dancing

Everyone you know is perfect
Everywhere you go is perfect
So on and so on
But you've gotta lotta nerve when you talk about love
If you've gotta lotta nerve we can talk about love
Oh, you've gotta lotta nerve to be talking about love
Yeah, you gotta lotta nerve 'til we talk about love

Better watch what you say and do
Or da cool you'll be blowing

I Need Water
Scorching hot summer’s day
Devastation struck on our holiday.
Water, water running out
No more water left about.
Where is water?
What to do?
Stressing, thirsty, hungry too.
Need a shower!
Need a drink!
But there is no time to think.
Running, running to the store
“No more water” written on the door.
I need water, but there’s none,
Definitely not having fun.
Feeling dirty!
Feeling sick!
Needing something so basic.
Water, water I need you
Then I’ll be as good as new.
Water, water always there,
Once it’s gone we’re made aware
Wasting water is not right
Now it’s gone I’ve seen the light.
I need water to survive
I’m lucky to be alive!
