Common Sense
You cant live together
You cant live alone
Considering the weather
Oh my, how youve grown
From the men in the factories
To the wild kangaroo
Like those birds of a feather
Theyre gathering together
And feeling
Exactly like you
They got mesmerized
By lullabies
And limbo danced
In pairs
Please lock that door
It dont make much sense
That common sense
Dont make no sense
No more
Just between you and me
Its like pulling
When you ought to be shovin,
Like a nun
With her head in the oven
Please dont tell me
That this really wasnt nothing
One of these days
One of these nights
Youll take off your hat
And theyll read you
Your rights
Youll wanna get high
Every time you feel low
Hey, queen isabella
Stay away from that fella
Hell just get you
Into trouble, you know?
But they came here by boat
And they came here by plane
They blistered their hands
And they burned out their brain
All dreaming a dream
Thatll never come true
Hey, dont give me no trouble
Or Ill call up my double
Well play piggy-in-the-middle
With you
Youll get mesmerized
By alibis
And limbo dance in pairs
Please lock that door
It dont make much sense
That common sense
Dont make no sense
No more

I Dont Get It
I dont get why you can take
Such a big amount of what we work so hard to f*cking make
I dont get it
I dont get why we cant do
What we want to when it doesnt hurt you, man I dont get it
I dont get it I dont get why we cant smoke
Just because you say its bad what mother nature chose to grow
I dont get it I dont get why we should change
What we said here so we dont have to explain I dont get it
I cant make sense of anything
I cant make friends with anyone
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore
I cant make sense of anything
I cant make friends with anyone
I hope someday I figure out
Where the f*ck youre talking from
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore
I dont get anything at all
It doesnt matter anymore

Theyre So Tough
Theyre so tough
They like to make us feel little
They like to meke us feel small
They like to put us down
till we feel no good at all
Then they tell us that were stupid
That we got no sense at all
Theyll take away the spark
Keep us in the dark
Make us feel we have no vision at all
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, I dont believe it has to be this way
Then they tell us to be patient
That our time will come
But ive stood outside their doors
And walk their floors
And I aint gonna do it again
Theyd like to make me their nigger
I say to hell with them
Im not getting down on my knees
And begging please
Can you throw me a crumb now and then
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
I cant really speak to you
And I dont know about them
They must be out of their minds
Cant read between the lines
They can stick it where the sun dont shine
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
Theyre so tough
They are so tough

Logic & Love
Logic and love
(feldman / chandler)
Love and logic just dont go together
Try to force it, youll be trying forever
Why discuss it when youre missing the point
Girl
Forget the fakin all I care is that youre
Chorus:
Making all the right moves
Youre making all the moves that hit the spot
Youre speaking only half-truths girl
Just tell me all the things I like a lot
Stop thinking youre much too intense
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try to say were just good friends
Logic and love clash in your head
You dont see reason you just see red
We could argue till youre blue in the face girl
The time youre taking is the time you could be
Repeat chorus
Im talking logic and love
Im talking logic and love
Our scientific world demands that everythings
Explained
Youre an ultra-modern girl
But cant you see theres nothing to be gained
In analyzing love
Youre making only false moves
But everything you do still hits the spot
And do you know what that proves girl
That love is far away the best we got, you know
The best of lovers dont have to be friends
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try to say were just good friends
Dont even try to make love make sense
Dont even try girl dont pretend
Im talking logic and love
Im talking logic and love
Logic and love
Logic and love

Dont ask my forgiveness
Dont ask for my forgiveness.
Dont say youll wait for it.
Becuase I shall tell you.
This only once.
Youll get my forgiveness
When hell freezes over.
Youll be waiting a long time.
You dont get my forgiveness.
Oh no you dont.
Dont kid yourself.
Are you all there in the head?
Forgiveness I cant give.
I dont offer it to you.
Why should I make you feel better?
To hell with that.
If your feeling guilty
Thats you problem not mine.
You dont deserve forgiveness.
Ask me again
And I'll be waiting with a knife.
For my protection.
Forgive you
Yeah right
Dont make me laugh.
I depise you all.
Forgive you no.
Shove it up your arse.
You thick twatt.

Make Your Peace
There are rivers running
Just for you and me
In the darkest hours
Choices made to be
I choose to pull my punches
Dont you test my conscience
Youll see
Youll see
Cut your teeth and make your peace
Thats what you asked for
Got a way of getting
What I want to see
When you know Im winning
Youll get over me
All the trash youre thinking
Dont you feel it sinking
Youll see
Youll see
All this bitter fighting
Makes no sense to me
Were only talking circles
Were losing sympathy
No time like the future
Make signs like I need ya
You see
You see
Cut your teeth and make your peace
Thats what you ask for
Cut your teeth and make your peace
Is what you ask for

Dont Run For Cover
(m&l - kiske)
You hide, wont fight
Avoid the daylight
Give in, wont win
No try to make it right
Why dont you stop crying
Stop your painful dying
Why dont you give your life a sense
One game, one aim
But youre always sleeping
One light so bright
In darkness youre creeping
Why dont you use your head
Step out of your warm bed
And stop being on anxious rat
Run - for your destination
Fly - to the sun
Dont give a damn what the people may say
Its like a chain on your leg
When you always look back
If you dont risk anything one day youll pay
Dont run for cover
Dont cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Dont run for cover
Dont throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose
No pride, no right ?
In your heart is more strength
You know, I know
Your destinys in your hand
Now you have this time
To survive dont be blind
In this world where so many cant see
Try - to catch the key
Make - that you can see
The light of your life your way to go
Its like a chain on your leg
When you always look back
If you dont risk anything one day youll pay
Dont run for cover
Dont cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Dont run for cover
Dont throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose

Well I think of you when I fantasize
The best I ever had
And I think of you when Im drivin
Myself completely mad
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
Walkin on the footbridge
High above the clouds
Listenin to your yesterday
Didnt make a sound
Dazzled by your sweet lips
Touchin on me
Here comes trouble
Cant you see?

Why dont we go away?

The things we never did
And I think of you when Im flyin
Or when Im feelin just like a kid

Go away, go away

But I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Ive told you before and Ill tell you again, and again, and again
Cant you get it thru your head
Youre not my friend
And Ive tried to be nice but now Im not going to lie
So I suggest you leave before I make you cry, bye

I like to make you angry, I like it all the while
I like to know that youre hated, it makes me smile

Dont Look Back
Time to walk away
Youve run out of things to say
Everything ends up the same old story
You dont know where love went
But nothings making sense
You both know you cant fake it anymore
Dont look back hell see you cryin
Dont look back on love thats dyin
Make believe your heart is made of stone
Dont look back into his eyes
Youve already said goodbye
Its over now; youve got to let him go
Hes the one you love
But sometimes love is not enough
Its too complicated to explain
No you never will forget
But youll get over it
Someday just sweet memories will remain
So dont look back; dont break your will
Dont look back at him until
Youre far enough to let your feelings show
Dont look back into those eyes
Youve gone back so many times
Its over now youve got to let him go
Theres a time for everything including leavin
Theres a time the heart admits defeat
And starts its grieving

Remember Manhattan
Nothing worth a damn
Can be sifted through the brain
Sense dont make the
Man
But you insist on being sane
Dont take time to
Think
Or youre done before
You start
Theres no missing link
Cause its right there
In your heart
Take a closer look,
Theres an answer not a
Question
In that may-december line
Youll bite a bigger
Hook
Than the one you want to leave behind
Remember manhattan
Woody wasnt wrong
Remember manhattan
Before you say so long
How you gonna tell
If it stands the test of time
Theres no wishing well
That comestrue without the dime
Its a common curse
That the grass is always greener
No matter what you have
But nothing could be worse
Than to try to reproduce the past
Remember manhattan
Woody wasnt wrong
Remember manhattan
Before you say so long
Remember manhattan
What did woody say
He said, remember manhattan
Before you walk away
Lose your common sense
cause you may not get the chance again

Theres something in the air tonight
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, five
Dont you want it

Hitting on the dance floor
Whats it all about
Girl I give it all
Make me feel high
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, five
Time to turn it up
Cos youre getting hot
Why do we bring the flow so raw
Make you wanna dance so get on the floor
Its all about the monie
What time to get down
And get da honeys
Yo scott
Baby I can make the nights last forever
And I can make you satisfied
So if you feel like coming together
Its something that you must decide
Chorus:
Dont you want it
Dont you need it
I can give it all and I mean it
Dont you want it
Cant you feel it
Theres something in the air tonight
Rising from the depths
I confess baby
I can hit you off
Got a super on my chest
Nothing but the very best
What you need and you best believe it
Tell that youre feeling
The hand that Im dealing
Never hear me lack upon a track
Style and whicky whack
But you gotta savour that
A roller coaster ride
Baby come and climb upon a
Ruggedness Ive shown it
Tell me dont you want it
Baby I can make the sun shine forever
I know youve heard it all before (heard it all before)
But if you feel like coming together
All of this will be yours

I got everything you want
Baby everything you need now
I can give it all
I got everything you want

Work so hard to f*ckin' make I don't get why we can't do
What we want to when it doesn't hurt you I don't get it
I don't get why we can't smoke
Just because you say it's bad
What mother nature chose to grow I don't get it I don't why we should change

Bad Boys
(myles goodwyn)
Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap
I look out the window, see the fishes get the run-around
I tell the boys I gotta be movin on
Im tired of playin the game, the endings always the same
Odds are you wont last too long
I can see you, you cant see me
Dont feel shame no more
Im not here, youre not there
That I know for sure
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys
Left on the street to fend for yourself
You do what you can to get by
The choice is run with the pack
You make a take on the sly
This time Ill go it alone
Im gonna make good on my own
No more of this foolish pride
I can see you, you cant see me
I dont care no more
Im not here, youre not there
That I know for sure
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys
Dont wanna be in a cell
Dont wanna end up in hell
I know I dont like what I see
Dont want it to happen to me
I gotta get out of this town
No sense in hanging around
Time I found out what I want to be
Nobody wants to run, and nobody wants to hide
The moment of truth becomes a burning inside
Hey look at me, and youll see
How Ive changed my ways
Im not there, youre not here
Wont have people say
Bad boys, bad boys
Bad boys, see how they run
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, see how they run

Dont Go Away
Cold and frosty morning,
Theres not a lot to say,
About the things caught in my mind,
And as the day was dawning,
My plane flew away,
With all the things caught in my mind,
I dont wanna be there when your, coming down,
I dont wanna be there when you hit the ground,
So dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that youll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,
Cos I need more time,
Yes I need more time just to make things right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play,
With all the things caught in my mind,
Damn my education I cant find the words to say,
With all the things caught in my mind,
I dont wanna be there when your, coming down,
I dont wanna be there when you hit the ground,
So dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that youll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,
Cos I need more time,
Yes I need more time just to make things right.
Me and you whats going on,
All we seem to know is how to show,
The feelings that I wrote.
So dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that youll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,
Cos I need more time,
Yes I need more time just to make things right.
And dont go away,
Say what you say,
Say that youll stay,
Forever and a day,
In the time of my life,

Fade Away
With every little smile do you know me better
You know Im never what I seem
Cause I dont worry about the future
My days they pass just like a dream
Are you scared of what youre seeing
Does it make me seem so cruel
And now Ill ask you if I hurt you
Thats just something that I do
If you dont listen to me
Youll stay the same
And youre just gonna fade away
Listen hear the secret in my voice
Are you so gone that you cant hear
Scared Ive forgot you for no reason
Maybe thats what you cant bear
Then give me more than words and gestures
Give me something I can keep
Thats how you get to love forever
Thats why youve gotta try and see
If you dont listen to me

I Dont Want To See You Again
(jackson leap)
I dont want to see you
cause I dont want to feel you
Dont look so surprised
I told you that Id say good-bye
If you couldnt just make up your mind
You keep saying love can wait
But I cant and its too late
This old heart has just run out of time
I dont want to see you
cause I dont want to feel you
I dont want a love that I cant win baby
I dont want you to call
cause if I cant have it all
I dont want to see you again
When your new life gets you down
Dont be tempted to come around
Just think of all the times I let you slide
And when your teardrops finally come
Youll realize that Im the one
But I wont be there when its your turn to cry
I dont want to see you
cause I dont want to feel you
I dont want a love that I cant win baby
I dont want you to call
cause if I cant have it all
I dont want to see you

Undecided
First you say you do
And then you dont
And then you say you will
And then you wont
Youre undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Now you want to play
And then its no
And when you say youll stay
Thats when you go
Youre undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
Ive been sitting on a fence
And it doesnt make much sense
cause you keep me in suspense
And you know it
Then you promise to return
When you dont
I really burn
Well, I guess Ill never learn
And I show it
If youve got a heart
And if youre kind
Then dont keep us apart
Make up your mind
Youre undecided now
So what are you gonna do?
