I Love The Now
By: jimmy buffett, carrie fisher
1986
Its the reason for livin
But thats what Im givin
I dont need a history lesson
To tell me why
I mean Im in no hurry
To hustle and scurry
Theres so much to see
And life aint gonna pass me by
Tomorrows right around the corner
Ill get there somehow
But Im stuck in the meantime
And I love the now
Chorus:
I love the now (all the faces and places)
I love the now (all the rats and the races)
Its the only place Ive ever been
Its the only way that I know how
Dont talk about your superstitions
Dont talk about your cats meow
But dont talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now
Its true weve got problems
How do we solve em
Better break out your thinkin cap
And your old dunce cone
Searchin for answers like interpretive dancers
She asks me for reasons
Then tells me to wait for the tone
The whole damn worlds gone crazy
The moon is jumpin over the cow
How can you help but
Not love the now
Chorus:
I love the now (all the ranting and raving)
I love the now (all the cussin and craving)
Its the only mess Ive ever seen
Its the only place where I know how
Dont talk about your futuristic
Dont talk about your thees and thous
Dont talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now
(horn and harp instrumental)
Sittin on g
Waitin on o
Im exactly where
I want to go
Chorus:
I love the now (all the pain and the pleasure)
I love the now (all the blood and the treasure)
Its the only circus that I know
Its the only ring where Im allowed
Talk about a standing ovation
Everybody take a bow
But dont talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now
But dont talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now
No dont talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now

Dont Talk To Strangers
When you were just a young girl and still in school
How come you never learned the golden rule
Dont talk to strange men, dont be a fool
Im hearing stories, I dont think thats cool
Why dont you tell me, someone is loving you
Cause youre my girl, some say its no longer true
Youre seeing some slick continental dude
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody, ever told you, dont talk
Now tell me, hows life in the big city
I hear the competitions tough, baby thats a pity
And every mans an actor, every girl is pretty
I dont like whats getting back to me
Now whos this, don juan Ive been hearing of
Love hurts when only ones in love
Did you fall at first sight or did you need a shove
Im begging you, please
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, dont talk
*fais lamour avec moi (*make love to me)
Whats he saying baby
*viens dormir, mon amour (*come to sleep my love)
I asked you not to talk to him
*je taime donne moi ton coeur ce soir (*i like you to give me your heart this night)
Im begging you
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk, dont talk, dont talk,
Dont talk, dont talk to him
Nobody, talk, nobody ever told you, dont talk
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you talk
Dont talk to strangers, you know hell only use you up
Dont talk to strangers, baby dont you,
Baby dont you talk,
Dont talk to strangers

Dont Talk About It
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide
Chorus:
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
A hand reached out to touch me
A letter hit the pile
I felt my life revolving
Like fingers in a dial
Just then I stopped believing
But only for a while
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
When I think that love was there
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont give it up
Dont count on their loving
Dont give it up, dont try
Dont wanna talk about it
Dont wanna talk about it
(chorus)
When I think that love was there
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you crying
A victim of your pride
But you are no civilian
So open up your eyes

Fretless
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Hes got his work and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldnt confide in the prodigal son
The die has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun
I couldnt admit to a minute of fun
(chorus 1)
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no need to speak
Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell
Tether that ring and phrase
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate
And I dont hate him
And I dont hate her
They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak
(chorus 2)
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace with a e-a-c
Dont threaten me with a gentle tease
Dont threaten me with angry
Please, please, please
Dont try to tell me what I am
(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2)
(talk to me)
Dont talk to me
(talk to me)
Dont talk to me
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me
(dont talk to me)
Dont talk to me about being alone

Dont Talk To Me!
dont talk to me about Jesus,
when you wouldnt sit down
and eat with Him...
dont talk to me about patriotism,
the only flag i allow
is the one that burns.
dont talk to me about freedom,
bought with the blood
of Native Americans...
Asians, Africans, Middle Eastern peoples,
and renegade fugitive Irishmen.
dont talk to me about equality,
when you treat your women as possessions.
dont talk to me about morality,
dont even go there!
dont talk to me about sexuality,
when you hide in darkened rooms,
doing things in secret
that dont rhyme your Sunday prayers.
dont talk to me about truth,
and try to sell me the lie!
dont talk to me about fear,
and then try to use it against me.
just... dont talk to me!

Backtalk
I work all day to make a livin
No one needs
Your kind of attitude
Your sharp tongue
It cuts me like a razor
Lip service gets you nowhere
No, no, no
Back talk I dont need it
B-b-b-back talk I dont need it
No, no, no back talk
Dont want to hear it
Dont give me no back talk
Watch that temper
You watch what youre sayin
Dont talk to me
With that tone of voice
Your act is pushin me
To the limit
Cant stand it, cant stand it
Cant take it any more
Dont wont back talk
I dont need it
Dont give me back talk
I dont want to hear it
Dont give me back talk
Dont need it, no
I believe you enjoy
This aggravation
Lately thats all I get from you
You were born to drive me crazy
Cant take it, cant take it any more from you
No, no more
Back talk, I dont need it
Back talk, I dont need it
Back talk, dont want to hear it
Dont give me no back talk
Sassy back talk
Dont give me no sassy back talk
No I dont want to hear it
No dont really need it
No dont give me no
Give me no dont you give me no

I Want Your Love Tonight
(halley / spencer)
Oh, love is like a flame, now
Upon a candle
Get it burnin brightly
And its a-too hot to handle
Oh, baby
(I want your love tonight)
Come on and satisfy me
Baby, dont deny me
(I want your love tonight)
Excuses, boy dont hand me
Just love and understand me
Oh, patiently Ive waited
For your sweet kissin
Though we steady-dated
You know, somethins been a-missin, oh, oh

I dont want to sit here and talk

I dont want to go for a walk

Oh, take me up to heaven
All the way to cloud eleven
I want a-your love tonight

Come on and love me, baby
Oh, come on and satisfy me
Baby, dont deny me, yeah

Dont Say That You Love Me
Im gonna tell you right up front
So you will understand
I aint gonna waste your time
cause I might not be your man
We wont go makin promises
cause you know it just aint right
A promise is a promise, girl
And tonight is just tonight
Tonight is just tonight
Chorus:
Dont say that you love me
If it dont feel right
Dont say that you love me
Just hold me tonight
There aint no need for broken hearts
I know in time they mend
Any fool can fall in love
Its so easy to pretend
Dont tell me Im the only one
If it doesnt mean a thing
Lets take tonight for what its worth
And see what tomorrow brings
And see what tomorrow brings

Kissing this in cover
Kissing cousins, kissing that
Over under out

Dont Talk Now
Where Ive been
You dont know
And what Ive got
Baby, it dont show
Now, I wont try
To teach you how
Dont talk now
Dont talk roads
Dont talk sand
Dont talk dust
Dont talk no man
Dont talk rules
Dont talk vows
Dont talk now
I dont wanna hear the same old song
And too many rights still make her wrong, baby
I know she cant hurt me less by talking more
She cant make good what was bad before
No, its too late now for me to lie
And I cant make a second try
I just came on back baby got to say good-bye, good bye

Dont Talk To Me About Work
A perfect day to get out of bed
Shower, dress, shave, kiss you on the head
Then I hit the office and my head starts to swim
A perfect day to just walk around
See a violent movie, check the sounds
But even on the street
When I hear a phone ring my heart starts to beat
When I get home I dont want you to speak
Dont talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Im up to my eyeballs in dirt
With work, with work
How many dollars, how many sales
How many liars, how many tales
How many insults must you take in this one life
Im in prison most of the day
So please excuse me, if I get this way
But I have got obligations to keep
So be very careful when you speak
Dont talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Im up to my eyeballs in dirt
With work, with work
Please dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Im up to my eyeballs in dirt
With work, with work
Dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work
Dont you talk to me about work
Please dont talk to me about work

Sweet Talk
I see your face in
The magazine stand
I wanna hold you in the palm
Of my hand
I love everything about you
Youre such a long way away
Your sweet talk
Aint enough for me
I may be deaf, but youre
Too blind to see
Youre gonna break my bones
With your feminine tones
But I dont wanna hear
Your sweet talk tonight
Not again tonight
When I call tonight
Dont wanna hear your
Sweet talk tonight
I hear your voice on the radio
Its gettin so bad I dont know
Which way to go
Why dont you wake up girl
Youre such a long way away
Your sweet talk aint enough
You see
I need a woman
Whos a woman to me
Youre gonna break my bones
With those feminine tones
But I dont wanna hear
Oh, I dont wanna hear it
Not tonight
Youre gonna break my bones
With your feminine tones
But I dont wanna hear
None of that sweet talk tonight
Oh, not again tonight
When I call tonight
Sweet talk tonight
Not again tonight
When I call tonight
Dont wanna hear your sweet talk

I Dont Wanna Rock
It really sucks to give your heart to a girl
You want to know her like she knows the whole world
But 10 seconds in, its obvious, your going nowhere...
She makes you tell her that shes your best friend
You tell her things you know wont make her mad
Dont want to be the one to say things are going nowhere...
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I dont wanna talk
I dont wanna rock
I dont wanna wait by the phone, and,
I dont wanna tell you I love you
Dont wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!
Its hard to live outside her safety zone
Cause you remember being all alone
Two kinds of misery and either way, youre going nowhere...
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I dont wanna talk
I dont wanna rock
I dont wanna wait by the phone, and,
I dont wanna tell you I love you
Dont wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!
And she makes me want to be a homosexual
Maybe Ill be her best friend, maybe see her naked once in a while
I dont wanna talk
I dont wanna rock
I dont wanna talk
I dont wanna rock
I dont wanna wait by the phone, and,
I dont wanna tell you I love you
Dont wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!

Dont Talk
[ dennis drew/natalie merchant ]
Dont talk, I will listen.
Dont talk, you keep your distance
For Id rather hear some truth tonight than entertain your lies,
So take you poison silently.
Let me be. let me close my eyes.
Dont talk, Ill believe it.
Dont talk, listen to me instead,
I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard
The drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble youre in now.
Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you care
But when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air,
Tossing back more than your share.
Dont talk, I can guess it.
Dont talk, well now your restless
And you need somewhere to put the blame for how you feel inside.
Youll look for a close and easy mark and youll see me as fair game.
Talk talk talk about it, talk as if you care
But when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air
Tossing back more than your share.
You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you care.
Im marking every word and can tell this time for sure,
Your talk is the finest I have heard.
So dont talk, let me go on dreaming.
How your eyes they glow so fiercely I can tell your inspired
By the name you chose for me. now what was it? o, never mind it.
We will talk talk talk about this when your head is clear.
Ill discuss this in the morning, but until then you may talk but I wont hear.

Paradise Is Here
(p. brady)
Producers: mark knopfler and neil dorfsman
Albums: break every rule(86),the collected recordings(94)
You say you wanna live some, move out into the fast lane
You say you need excitement to make you come alive
Some place a million miles from the shadows that surround you
I look for your attention, youre lost out in the future
Where lovers ask no questions and shadows never fall
Some pilgrim bound for paradise, no compromise
Paradise is here, its time to stop your crying
The future is this moment and not some place out there
Tonight I need your love, dont talk about tomorrow
Right now, I need your loving
Right now, give it to me
Right now, I want your loving
Rigt now, now now now now
You talk about your new plans to move on up the stairway
You dream about the high life thats waiting for you there
A world of fame and fortune just around the corner
But I dont need no high life to make me feel a woman
I dont need to reach for no castles in the sky
Just put your arms around me, devour me
Paradise is here, its time to stop your crying
The future is this moment and not some place out there
Tonight I need your love, dont talk about tomorrow
Right now, I need your loving
Right now, give it to me
Right now, I want your loving
Rigt now
Dont say tomorrow
To give me sorrow

In Love With Yourself
He came over to my house
Didnt even knock, he just walked inside
And when I didnt want to talk
He said, oh god, what a lot of bullshit.
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And I said, youve got a lot of nerve
Coming here after all of the times
That youve tried to pull the wool
Over my eyes and my ears and nose and mouth and...
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And he said, youve got a lot of nerve
Painting me like Im the villain.
What about all of those words, like hes just a friend?
Oh god, what a lot of bullshit...
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And I said, youve got a lot of nerve,
After all, it wasnt me who left.
And now youre sleeping with that girl
That you used to say that you have always hated.
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And we took off all of our clothes
Had a lot of sex and then fell asleep
And when I finally awoke
I held him close and I whispered in his ear and said,
dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself
Dont be so in love with yourself cause Im not
Dont you know Im not?
And he said, i know, dont you think I know?

Be There
You dont have to break your heart
In two my love
You dont have to play a part
Its you I love
You dont have to hide from yourself
You dont have to be someone else again
You dont have to rescue me
You dont have to watch me drown
You dont have to give to me
All I want is you
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
You dont have to dress yourself up
Or stay the same
You dont have to smile
If I say smile
You dont have to be the best
You dont have to give me rest
All I want is all you have
Nothing else
Nothing
Be there, my love
Just be there, my love
If you want the whole of me
Thats all youll get
Ill sing this song
Id give my health
Give it all
You dont have to...
Ah, she comes on by
She says, I need you, my love
Ah, she says, all I want is you
You dont have to play your little game
If I fall apart
You dont have to work those strings
Or do those things
Youre enough in my heart
You dont have to hide from yourself
You dont have to be someone else
All I want is all you have
All I want is you
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight

I Dont Think We Could Ever Be Friends
(jean-alain roussel / sting)
Its the end of our journey
What can I do?
Lonely together
When Im alone with you
Now that weve come so far
It seems like the end
We could be lovers
We could never be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
We can never talk
Like others seem to do
Lonely together
Making love to you
We dont get nothing
From the letters we send
We could be lovers
We could never be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
Plus a new relationship
You know you break my heart
What I feel for yous too strong
It has been from the start
Everytime I see your face
Its tearing me apart
What is need is love from you
Oh, but I cant?
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends
I dont think we could ever
I dont think we could ever be friends

I dont think we could ever be friends

It Dont Matter
(tommy lee james)
Weve got a nice little house on a quiet little street
But it dont matter
A two garage with a new cherokee
But it dont matter
Chorus:
Cause we dont ever seem to talk anymore
And you dont hold me like you did before
Weve got everything we wanted and more
But now I know and now I see
Nothing matters if you dont love me
Weve given twelve precious years of our lives
But it dont matter
And I guess for awhile we were both satisfied
But it dont matter
It wouldnt be easy to walk out tonight
But it dont matter
And I know I would miss you if you said goodbye
But it dont matter

If You Talk In Your Sleep
(words & music by red west - johnny christopher)
I know youre a lonely woman and I love you
But someone else is waiting and he owns you
If he should ever wake up, make sure that your story is straight love
If you talk in your sleep dont mention my name
And if you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Walking every night here in the shadows
So afraid that sometime he may follow
Theres always the chance hell find us
I dont need to remind you
If you talk in your sleep dont mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Love is so much sweeter when its borrowed
Ill feel a little easier tomorrow
Dont give our secret away, be careful what you say
If you talk in your sleep dont mention my name
If you walk in your sleep forget where you came
Forget where you came, now
Forget where you came
Dont mention my name
Dont mention my name
Forget where you came
