The Great Compromise
I knew a girl who was almost a lady
She had a way with all the men in her life
Every inch of her blossomed in beauty
And she was born on the fourth of july
Well she lived in an aluminum house trailer
And she worked in a juke box saloon
And she spent all the money I give her
Just to see the old man in the moon
Chorus:
I used to sleep at the foot of old glory
And awake in the dawns early light
But much to my surprise
When I opened my eyes
I was a victim of the great compromise
Well wed go out on saturday evenings
To the drive-in on route 41
And it was there that I first suspected
That she was doin what shed already done
She said johnny wont you get me some popcorn
And she knew I had to walk pretty far
And as soon as I passed through the moonlight
She hopped into a foreign sports car
(repeat chorus)
Well you know I could have beat up that fellow
But it was her that had hopped into his car
Many times Id fought to protect her
But this time she was goin too far
Now some folks they call me a coward
cause I left her at the drive-in that night
But Id druther have names thrown at me
Than to fight for a thing that aint right
(repeat chorus)
Now she writes all the fellows love letters
Saying greetings, come and see me real soon
And they go and line up in the barroom
And spend the night in that sick womans room
But sometimes I get awful lonesome
And I wish she was my girl instead
But she wont let me live with her
And she makes me live in my head
(repeat chorus)

I Aint Goin Down
Im gonna hold on--
cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me Im wrong--i aint goin down
I had a baby at fifteen--
Daddy never did forgive me
I never heard from the guy again
I had to drop outta high school--
Everybody treated me so cruel
But I didnt give in and giver her away
[repeat chorus]
Her smile got me through the day--
And every night Id pray
I could give her enough
At night Id lie awake and cry--
Hopin wed get by
cause you cant live on love
I worked night and day to keep us goin
Through the sweat and tears
Without her knowin
It was worth it just to watch her grow
Oh, oh, at least I was able to hold her
Whenever she needed my shoulder
Im so glad I never let her go
[repeat chorus]
Her smile got me through the years--
Dried away the tears
And filled me with hope
At night Id lie awake and cry--
Prayed we would get by
And for the courage to cope
Oh, oh, oh
[instrumental solo]
Her smile got me through the day--
And every night Id pray
I could give her enough
[repeat chorus (2x)]
No on can tell me Im wrong
I aint goin down

Let Me Know
Chorus:
I got something for you,
And I think youre sexy,
And if you want me let me know.
You aint gotta spend no money,
Just a little time with me honey,
That will let me know you love me so.
Verse one:
(kandi):
There are so many things,
That I want to talk to you about.
Like do you want me, do you love me,
cause I have my doubts.
(tiny):
I have a funny feeling,
That you want me around for just one thing,
To push your little ego,
With the knowledge that I bring.
Repeat chorus
Verse two:
(tamika):
You know that I want you,
And I made it very clear.
I would never ever hurt you,
Id never let you shed a tear.
(latocha):
The only thing I want to know,
Do you feel the love for me.
Im not gonna keep on waiting,
Thats not how its gonna be,
You got to...
Break:
Let me know,
I never knew that love could ever have me slipping.
Let me know,
I sit in my room thinking of you at night trippin.
Let me know,
I never knew I would ever get caught caking.
Let me know,
And no man would ever have me shaky.

The Answer
I lie awake deep in the night,
Ooh thinking bout you always.
But time can paralyse,
Ive been lonely too long.
(CHORUS)
Im changing my life, looking for a reason to love.
Girl, take a look and maybe youll find,
That the answer to your heart is in mine.
Oh girl, you are the one, thats holding the fire.

Those memories of you still haunt me
Every night when i lay down
I'll always love you my little darling
Until the day they lay me down
In dreams of you my body trembles
I wake up and call your name
But you're not there, and i'm so lonesome
Without your love i'd go insane

Your kiss i feel, your face i see
It's not your lips now that drive me crazy
It's just your haunting memory

Look back, light the night with a blow torch and a match.

One Thing
Restless tonight
Cause I wasted the light
Between both these times
I drew a really thin line
Its nothing I planned
And not that I can
But you should be mine
Across that line
*Chorus*
If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldnt that be something
I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time
*Bridge*
Even though I know
I dont want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds

Jericho
Listen boy, Ill tell you a thing.
Ill make you a career in the business Im in.
Ill make you rich, Ill make you a toy,
Ill make you turn over into my little boy.
Ysee Im going somewhere.
I dont know what Im gonna do when I get there.
I know moneys a thing - your only inspiration
And your only meaning.
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you.
You can fall when I will climb,
But Ill be falling over just by having you in mind.
1st. chorus:
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin up a ball inside a jericho wall.
Mend that fight - its all twisted through them.
If you aint rich then you wont go to the ball.
Having mercy and licking up love,
And moving through your ocean like Ive never had enough.
Ysee you aint all I want,
Youre everything and more that I have ever hoped for.
You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you.
You can fall when I will climb,
But Ill be falling over just by having you in mind.
-1st chorus-
2nd chorus:
You wont go to the ball.
You wont go to the ball.
You wont go, you wont go,
You wont go to the ball.

You must think that all I do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you.
You can fall when I will climb,
But Ill be falling over just by having you in mind.
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin up a ball inside a no.10 wall.
Mend that fight - its all twisted through them.
Im rich, you aint, so you wont go to the ball
No more!
-2nd chorus-
Outro:
Yeah, if you aint got nothing
Youll never go there
(repeat)
I tried to make you see
I tell you, Id had enough.
Money was a thing, money was a thing,
Money was a thing that I believed in.

To a cat name frankenstein

Changes
Dont you feel a change a-coming
From another side of time
Breaking down the walls of silence
Lifting shadows from your mind
Placing back the missing mirrors
That before you couldnt find
Filling mysteries of emptiness
That yesterday left behind.
Chorus:
And we all know its better
Yesterday has passed
Now lets all start the living
For the one thats going to last.
(repeat chorus)
Dont you feel the day is coming
That will stay and remain
When your children see
The answers
That you saw the same
When the clouds have all gone
There will be no more rain
And all the beauty of all things
Is uncovered again.
Chorus
(repeat chorus)
Dont you feel the day is coming
And it wont be too soon
When the people of the world
Can all live in one room
When we shake off the ancient
Chains of our tomb
We will all be born again
Of the eternal womb.

Sometimes I feel just like a rat locked in a cage
Its hard to live beyond the walls
It aint no life at all
But dont you tear it down

Take your chances, Ill take mine
Chasing thunder is only wasted time
Got no reason to walk that line

It shows me the truth in a hurricane of lies
My babys left a light for me
Thats really all I need
They wont bring me down

Aimlessly rushing leaves you with nothing
You need some loving to make you feel alive
In less than a moment, life can be stolen
