Cosmopolitan
Im okay, youre okay
Why remember when it wasnt this way
See my home, see my car
And the beach always used to seem so far
And no one touches me
Unless its the way I want it to be
I know I read the right magazines
Im cosmopolitan
And I dont look back
Im alright, sleep at night
Used to lie awake listening to cats fight
See my hair, see my shoes
And I used to be scared of the dark too
And no one touches me
Unless its the way I want it to be
I know I read the right magazines
Im cosmopolitan
And I dont look back
Cosmopolitan
And no one touches me
Unless its the way I want it to be
I know I read the right magazines
Im cosmopolitan
And I dont look back

Ready For The Good Times
I dont wanna clear the cobwebs from my head
Time will bring them back I bet
So if you hear me say that I believe in love
Dont make me feel ashamed
I used to sing the saddest songs
And while in the meantime roaches used to climb my door
Falling back down to the floor
I used to read survival guides
When my world was full of seven legged cats
But here iam with eight more lives
Im ready for the good times
Im ready for the good tims
Now that Im not olone
Oh oh oh oh (3x)
You know it
Oh oh oh (2x)
You better now ignore it.
I dont want to look at fashion magazines
While someone is doing my naiels
Sitting here watching other people live
Frozen by the fear to fail
Cause everyday theres a war to fight
And if I win or lose never mind
As long as youre my shelter every night
I used to cry against a wall
But now Ive got a shoulder that I can lean on
Swear to me you wont be gone
Im ready for the good times
Im ready for the good times
Ready to get it on
Im ready for the good times
Im ready for the good times
Now that Im not alone

Spaceman
Dont be so wise, I was born to fly
Not without a place in the wind
Walked off a cliff, then I closed my eyes
Ooh, Im not a spaceman, no, no
Ooh, Im not a spaceman
Dont need no feathers, I dont need no twine,
Im all together in my body and my mind,
Not supernatural, just a human combine,
Ooh, Im not a spaceman, no, no
Ooh, Im not a spaceman!
Cant see a castle, I dont need a sleigh,
I brought my wings, no, not today
Im a cosmopolitan, right-handed wingless man
Ooh, Im not a spaceman, no, no
Ooh, Im not a spaceman.

Hold Back The Tears
So sad, but theres nothin that I can do
Things are so bad, forget every word Ive spoken to you
Love is when it touches you down inside
Why really are you lookin for somewhere to hide
Chorus:
Youve gotta hold back the tears
Soon you will discover maybe there could be someone who cares for you
Youve gotta hold back the tears
Dont have to say never, love will come to those who are prepared
Time will never be on your side
Listen, could be your only chance to survive
This love is waiting to call you home
Dont read youll ever be on your own
Repeat chorus
To give it back
This is all youre ever gonna be
Well, is it all worth while
Theres so much that I want you to see
It could be all worth while

Magazines
you see them everywhere
you know those magazines
yeah I've bought a few
they show you everything
so many news stands
as I'm passing by
but rows and rows of you
are bound to catch my eye
now everyone can gaze upon your body
its good for you - I guess you have no shame
I never knew if how I acted
would make you seek revenge
and now I know
and you're in magazines
but is it really you
in the empty world
I shouldn't be surprised
you're an ambitious girl
with all that naked skin as sweet as honey
Maybe you just really needed money
I wondered if I would be punished for
my voyeuristic pleasure
and now I know
and you're in magazines
and now I know
and you're in magazines
now I know
I tear through pages
of every kind of pose
but its not really you I see
when I look real close
no you're a little bit different
you're a little bit different
you're a little bit different
and now I know
and you're in magazines
now I know
and you're in magazines
I'm alone
and you're in magazines
so it never was you
no

Dont Look Back
Sometimes I remember my life
The wheels been spinning so long
So many years have passed me by
And the feelings are still running oh so strong
Now something new is here
Im gonna fly and spread my wings
And still the power, goes, on and on
Dont look back- dont look back
Dont you ever, now or never, look back
Dont look back- dont look back
Dont you ever- never look back
Day after day, night after night
Climbing into a new day
And now I think Ive found my sight
To go on and never turn away
Now something new...
Dont look back- dont look back
Dont you ever, now or never, look back
Dont look back- dont look back
Now or never- dont you ever look back
Solo
Im gonna fly and spread my wings
Cause still the power goes on and on
Dont look back...

Why Dont You Read The Book
Dont talk to the pilot
When hes flyin
Dont smile at the soldier
Hes on parade
Dont come creeping round, youll
Catch me cryin
No more talkin bout it
Its all been said
You drawn such a fine line baby
Learnin all the rules
Why dont ya read between them sometimes
You wont look such a fool
Why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book
Why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book
Why show all your aces
To the gambler
If he calls your hand
Youre gonna lose
Dont trust first impressions
Of a stranger
Private informations
Just tellin tales
* you draw such a fine line baby
Learnin all the rules
Why dont ya read between them sometimes
You wont look such a fool
** why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book
Why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book

Sad Eyes
(tracks version)
---------------------------------------------
Every day here you come walking
I hold my tongue, I dont do much talking
You say youre happy and youre doin fine well go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Well for a while Ive been watching you steady
Aint gonna move til youre good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But I know pretty soon youll be walkin this way
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Baby dont you know I dont care
Dont you know that Ive been there
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Dont worry darling, itll slip your mind
I know you think youd never be mine
Well thats okay, baby, I dont mind
That shy smiles sweet, thats a fact
Go ahead, I dont mind the act
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well one more step and itll be too late
Blue blue ribbon in your hair
Like youre so sure Ill be standing here
(another version)
------------------------------------------
til the end
Just me and you baby
Just me and you girl
And I remember you even back then
And I remember you from back then
And I remember back then that I swore that for you Id drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you Id drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you Id drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you Id drive all night
Through the wind
Through the rain
Through the snow
Just to buy you some shoes
Just to check you out
Just to kiss that pretty face
Just to taste your tender charms
Just to sleep
Just to sleep
In your arms
Babe, maybe you wasnt even listening
Maybe you wasnt even listening
But I remember you promised that youd never go anyplace without me
You swore that youd never go anyplace without me
You promised that youd never leave without me
You swore that youd never leave without me
And like everything else
And everybody else from back then you promised
And baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Little girl you lied
So now youve come back
So now youve come back
So now youve come back
But just what makes you think that its so easy
Just what makes you think
That its so easy
Just to stop
To stop
To stop
To stop

Shame
(sung with hal ketchum) written by neil diamond and hal ketchum
(check it out
Im a little man
But youre my woman
And together well be strong)
The end of the road, is lonesome and cold
Aint no place for making a stand
I got too much of you on my mind
Too much time on my hands
Some people say there just aint no way
We can hold on and see this thing thru
I dont care what they say
They never loved one like you
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, Ive seen it in your eyes
Hurt you with their lies
But words dont count at all
Because I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you
I remember the day that I drove you away
Lord that whistle gave a lonesome moan
The train that took you away
Is gonna bring you back home
And Ill be standing right there in the cold mornng air
When that train comes a rolling in
Knowing, once youre back in my arms
You wont be leaving again
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, Ive seen it in your eyes
Theyll hurt you with their lies
But their words dont count at all
Because I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you
No, I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you
Me, I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you

She Call Me Daddy
Shes gone
I froze her out
Move by move
First I didnt hold her hand
Then I didnt touch her in bed
Then I wasnt tender with her upsets
Then I just told her to go
And still, she didnt go
I had to push.
Now this place is peaceful as a grave
Its dead quiet without her
And her stupid t.v. shows
And young girl laughing
I was always ashamed she read cosmopolitan
I should have been proud of her
What did she want that was so bad?
She just wanted to believe that someone would
Love her and look after her always
She called me daddy
She called me daddy

Read My Lips
Words and music: doug johnson, mike reno, neil shilkin
Here you come again, lookin for another thrill
With your lipstick, high heel shoes, lookin like youre
Dressed to kill
Tattoo stuck on you, branded by a chosen few
What short memory, now its time to pay your dues
Dont you hear a word I say?
Just turn your head and look this way
And read my lips
Read my lips, listen to me, Im talkin to you
Read my lips
Read my lips, Im tellin you, Im through with you
I know where you go when you need to get some
Bad little actress on a mattress, its seduction
Anything for you
You dont hear a word I say
So turn your head and look this way
And, read my lips
Read my lips, listen to me, Im talkin to you
Read my lips
Read my lips, listen to me, youre history
Ive been watching what you do
And it doesnt take a fool
To see what weve been through
Oh, gonna turn the page on you
(guitar solo)
You dont hear a word I say
So turn your head and look this way
And read my lips
Read my lips, listen to me, Im talkin to you
Read my lips
Read my tips, oh, Im through with you

Read my lips, listen to me, Im talkin to you

Read my lips, listen to me, youre history
Oh yeah, read my lips

Dont Back Down
The girls dig the way the guys get all wiped out
With their feet in the air you can hear em shout
Theyre not afraid (dont back down, dont back down)
Not my boys (dont back down, dont back down)
They grit their teeth, (a-oo) they dont back down
Dont back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Dont back down
But show em now whos got guts
Dont back down
Dont back down from that wave
With their feet full of tar and their hair full of sand
The boys know the beach like the palm of their hand
Theyre not afraid (dont back down, dont back down)
Not my boys (dont back down, dont back down)
They grit their teeth (a-oo) they dont back down
Dont back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Dont back down
But show em now whos got guts
Dont back down
Dont back down from that wave
When a twenty-footer sneaks up like a ton of lead
And the crest comes along and slaps em upside the head
Theyre not afraid (dont back down, dont back down)
Not my boys (dont back down, dont back down)
They grit their teeth (a-oo) they dont back down
Dont back down
You gotta be a little nuts
Dont back down
But show em now whos got guts
Dont back down
Dont back down from that wave
Dont back down...

Sunday Papers
Mother doesnt go out any more
Just sits at home and rolls her spastic eyes
But every weekend through the door
Come words of wisdom from the world outside
If you want to know about the bishop and the actress
If you want to know how to be a star
If you want to know about the stains on the mattress
You can read it in the sunday papers, sunday papers
Mothers wheelchair stays out in the hall
Why should she go out when the tvs on
Whatever moves beyond these walls
Shell know the facts when sunday comes along
If you want to know about the man gone bonkers
If you want to know how to play guitar
If you want to know about the other suckers
You can read it in the sunday papers, read it in the sunday papers
Sunday papers dont ask no questions
Sunday papers dont get no lies
Sunday papers dont raise objection
Sunday papers dont got no eyes
Brothers heading that way now I guess
He just read something made his face turn blue
Well I got nothing against the press
They wouldnt print it if it wasnt true
If you want to know about the gay politician
If you want to know how to drive your car
If you want to know about the new sex position
You can read it in the sunday papers, read it in the sunday papers
Sunday papers dont ask no questions
Sunday papers dont get no lies
Sunday papers dont raise objection
Sunday papers dont got no eyes
Sunday papers dont ask no questions
Sunday papers dont get no lies
Sunday papers dont raise objection
Sunday papers dont got no eyes

Get Back
Im spinning out, I cant control my car.
It doesnt matter who you think you might be you are.
I misplace it and I dont know where its at,
And I could find it but Id never get it back...
Dont get it back,
Dont get it back
The more you want it, the less youre gonna get back.
Im running out, I dont know when to stop.
I thought Id wait till I saw the penny drop.
It started raining, pennies falling in my lap.
And I could spend it, but Id never get it back.
Dont get it back
Dont get it back
The more you want it, the less youre gonna get back.
Dont get it back
Dont get it back
The more you want it, the less youre gonna get it back. x3
Im spinning out, I cant control my car.

Clean
Spread you mind the fish feed
Dont ignore my speech my
Heart blees
Make yourself the perfect butt
Some passing thought, I dont know what
Dont remind me, Ill fake
What I need to
Get back in case the door swings and
Dont forget to hide
Your mood rings
Fit to tie
I thought I knew good company
Id like to be you
Youre right behind me and
Mouth all I read
Dont remind me, Ill fake
What I need
Youre right behind me and
Mouth all I read

Scared 4 U Mom
Please mom come back,
Please dont stay their for 9 days,
I wont cope please come back,
I love you,
I hope you`ll be ok,
Whats happening? ,
All i know is you`ve gone,
with the paramedics,
and that you`ve had an astma attack and a fit,
Please be ok,
Please dont leave me,
Mom im scared,
I dont want to loose you,
Please dont go to heaven not yet,
I should be used to this,
From the amount of times,
You`ve been in and out of hospital,
But im not so please,
Just come back safely in 1 piece,
And make it to night,
Im scared your not gonna come back,
Please make it better and come home,
Please, mom come back,

Please mom just make it home.

With Some Passion That Touches Me
Try my love song from the heart inside
Let it touch here through its going
Feel the gathering of its truest glide
As it is willingly and knowing
With some passion that touches me
With some passion that touches me
Let the beauty from within come right here
Through the deep of the dark night
With its flowing and its limits to share
Till all its touches become alright
In the end of its limitless deep
Of the hours from down dark under
With its dances and beats to keep
As we drift though the waves asunder
With some passion that touches freely
With some passion that touches freely
I might be in heart feeling lonely
Though I had my luck in its try
You are touching my soul here and only
Filling moments with each their try
With some passion that touches me
With some passion that touches me
Try my love song from the heart inside
Let it touch here through its going
Feel the gathering of its truest glide
As it is willingly and knowing
With some passion that touches me
With some passion that touches me
With some passion that touches me

Small Talk
Dont talk back to me, dont talk back to me
Dont talk back to me, dont talk
Going round in circles, hearing too many points of view
Just words to tire me out, small talk I could do without
I would be amazed if you returned to see things my way
Now that youve been disrespectful to my sense of pride
Isnt it a shame that you were lying when you said to me (small talk)
I was the only one, you and I were meant to be
I expect youll never really feel the way that I do
All of this is with regret, Im sure you will agree
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
Ive seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me
Ive lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you
Small talk, small talk, small talk, small talk
You say I dont talk enough, that applies to both of us
Dont try to sound me out, something I could do without
So much goes on inside your head, I often wonder
Have you heard enough to know, theres nothing left to say
Say something to me, anything at all
I want you to mean what you say
Ive seen all I want to see, and you mean the world to me
Ive lived for each moment to be with you, with you, with you
Small talk
Small talk
Ooh small talk
Thats all I ever hear
Small talk
Ill be alright
It may take sometime
But Ill be alright (dont talk back to me)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (dont want to be alone, nothing worth to carry on)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (try hard to understand, you wont seem to lend a hand)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (without youll fail to see, you never spare a thought for me)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (so many things you said, going round in circles)
Ill be alright (dont talk back to me) (Ill rise above it all, enough to see another day)
Ill be alright
Ill be alright
Dont talk back to me...

Monday Papers
I dont want to go out any more
I read the news, I cant believe my eyes
I push the table against the door
You know Ive had it with the world outside
If you want to know about the murderers and junkies
If you want to know about the lower east side
Now they got a map shows you where to get your monkey
You can read it in the monday papers, monday papers
Some people like a little gore
Some people always at the scenes of crimes
Now they can watch the tv more
Now they can get it in the sunday times
If you find it hard to handle what you see on page one
You can pull the funnies out and have some laughs
Take a drink and maybe you can laugh at ronald reagan
You can read it in the monday papers, read it in the monday papers
Monday papers dont ask no questions
