One For The Money
Ive seen you standing there stunned in the spotlight
Ive seen the sweat streak the pain on your face
Cause youre caught like a clown in a circle of strangers
Who do you screw to get out of this place
Chorus:
Its one for the money
And too far to go
Three fingers of whiskey
Just for the soul
That lady youre pleasin
Is hungry and cold
Dont look in her eyes
Youll see what you sold
Too many bodies in too many bars
Too many feelings are fallin behind
Cause youre easy to fool when youre lost in the stars
Shoot out that spotlight before you go blind
Chorus:
Its one for the money
And too far to go
Three fingers of whiskey
Just for the soul
That lady youre pleasin
Is hungry and cold
Dont look in her eyes
Youll see what you sold

Spotlight Kid
You dont know whats happening, you want to go home
But theres nowhere to hide
You walk out on stage, your first time alone
The crowds going wild
And you feel so alive
You could stand up and take this all night
They love you but youre in love with the spotlight
Youre the spotlight kid
Jokers and women they hang round your door
Theyre all part of the scene
Just like a junkie youve got to have more
Its a pleasure machine
And you fly every night
But the dressing room mirror dont lie
They love you but youre in love with the spotlight
Youre the spotlight kid
Your audience died, faded away
Leaving you on the stage
Its been so many years since that first matinee
It seems like an age
Encore one more time
For the ghosts of the past in your mind
They love you but youre in love with the spotlight
Youre the spotlight kid
Youre living in a dream
Youre the spotlight kid
Youre in love with the spotlight

Cry, Cry, Cry
Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
They say you only live to see the lights of town
I wasted my time when I would try, try, try
cause when the lights have lost their glow, youll cry, cry, cry
Soon your sugar-daddies will all be gone
And youll wake up some cold day and find youre alone
Youll come to me but Im gonna tell you bye, bye, bye
When I turn around and walk away, youll cry, cry, cry
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry and youll cry alone
When everyones forgotten and youre on your own
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry
I lie awake at night and wait till you come in
You stay a little while and then youre gone again
Every question that I ask, I get a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell, youre gonna cry, cry, cry
When your fickle little love gets old, no one will care for you
Youll come back to me for a little love thats true
Ill tell you no and youre gonna ask me why, why, why
When I remind you of all of this, youll cry, cry, cry
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry and youll want me there
Itll hurt when you think of the fool youve been
Youre gonna cry, cry, cry

Youre the only girl Ive been dreamin of
Youre the only woman I ever loved
I want you to believe its true
Theres nothing I would rather do
My heart belongs to you, I know what Im at
Youre all that I want
Youre all that I need
Youre all that I see
Youre everything to me

And you need to feel my love inside
And I need to show what I cant hide

Always The Winner
Always the winner, baby.
Youre always the center, baby.
But dont you ever get lonely at night
When the clouds have gone away?
Its always,
Youre showing her the lady,
Always the lady.
Youre full of
Yourself, you know,
Gone crazy.
There was a time when you cared for their hearts,
And the need to show them love was tearing you apart.
But you changed, you know,
Become the star of the show.
Now youve got nothing to give;
Where is the truth you once lived?
Youre just lonely.
Dont you feel lonely?
Turn out the spotlight, Im tired. turn out the spotlight.
My mind will die, lord, Im crying.
Oh, Im to turn my gaze back, lord, to you,
Youre the only one who knows me.
Just mold me back to you.

Easy On The Eyes
(carly simon/andy goldberg)
Im the most dangerous person in this room
The way you look
I could do some damage to myself
Its your heart against mine
And I fear I may capsize
Im operating without a license
But Im willing to pay the price
cause youre just so easy
Youre so damned easy on the eyes
You turn your face
The two sides dont synchronize
Youre nothing like anyone Ive ever seen before
If Im staring at you then I apologize
You defy every rule Ive learned
But still Ive never been half so turned on
And youre just so easy
Youre so damned easy on the eyes
Handsomes not a word that comes to mind
But Id have to be blind to try and minimize
How easy you are on the eyes
Easy on the eyes
In my vertigo
Youre easy on the eyes
>from head to toe
Youre so easy on the eyes
Im operating without a license
But Im willing to pay the price
And youre just so easy
Youre just so damn easy on the eyes

Rabbit In Your Headlights
Thom yorke :
Im a rabbit in your headlights
Scared of the spotlight
You dont come to visit
Im stuck in this bed
Thin rubber gloves
She laughs when shes crying
She cries when shes laughing
Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away...
(away....away....away....)
Im a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
Washed down the toliet
Money to burn
Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away...
Sample from movie jacobs ladder :
If youre frightened of dyin and youre holding on...
Youll see devils tearing your life away.
But...if youve made your peace,
Then the devila are really angels
Freeing you from the earth.....from the earth....from the earth
Rotworms on the underground
Caught between stations
Butterfingers
Im losing my patience
Im a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
You got money to burn....
Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away.....
Away, away, away,
Away, away, away.

Please, I just got to talk to you
Please, well keep your head out of the loo
Please, were a long, long way from home
Please, youd turn a young mans face to stone

Sick as a dog, whats your story
Sick as a dog, a cat got your tounge
Sick as a dog, youll be sorry
Sick as a dog, cause youre really aint that young
Please, you were much to my surprise
Please, youre a lady in disguise
Please, youre the only friend I got
Please, youre the last to see me rot

Please, she was the last thing on my mind
Please, dont be late to take it light
Please, youre gonna bay into the night

Wherever You Go
Bottle of scotch whiskey not very smooth
Like snake bite cure from the medicine man
Not bad poison if theres something to soothe
Its a whole other world in the palm of your hand
Out of this world and out of your mind
Just like it dont matter what youre leaving behind
Trying to change your life you change your point of view
But no matter what you do its the same old you
Wherever you go there you are
You can run from yourself but you wont get far
You can dive to the bottom of your medicine jar
But wherever you go there you are
Bottle of scotch whiskey whatever you find
When youre out on a wire its a matter of time
Changing every moment when youre taking the fall
Theres everything to gain when youre losing it all
Feel your head spinning with your feet on the ground
You climb the wrong ladder and its keeping you down
Think youre gettin higher but youre still layin low
You dont want to be anyone you know
Repeat chorus
Once youve been bitten its like crossing a line
Its a part of the plan all thats on your mind
Think that itll help you find somebody to be
But the man in the mirror is all youll see
Repeat chorus

Complicated
Youre never going to see what you like
Youre never going to wake up and change your mind
Youre never going to keep what you hold
You wont accomplish anything on your own
You cant have what you wanted
So make up your mind and come to your senses
Youll never win if you dont bend
Its not so complicated
If you decide to change your mind
Youll find your inundated
Youre never going to do what you say
Youll always try to make up another way
Youre never going to act on your own
Youre never going to see that youre all alone
And so youre here and you dont know
If you can choose the way to go
Its not about the way it is
So dont become a realist
Youve got time to make a choice
Dont think aloud but have a voice
And when you think the time is right
Dont ever be afraid to fight

Youre Not Alone
I see you there, a silhouette in the moonlight;
Looks like youve given up on love.
You used to be the face in the spotlight;
Now lonliness fits you like a glove.
You walk around in your cloak of darkness,
Too blind to see the light.
Your wings are broken, now your spirit cant take flight.
Youre not alone, youre not alone,
While your hearts still young and free.
Youre not alone, pick up the phone
And talk to me; baby, you will see
Youre not alone.
Pools of sorrow and tears of joy;
Theres a broken-up girl for every broken-down boy.
But you dont wanna hear it,
You like the rhythm of the blues;
Wanna be a sad story on the late-night news.
I dont mean to burst your bubble,
But the worlds got troubles worse than you.
And everybody else out here gets lonely too.
Youre not alone, youre not alone,
I;ve been waiting patiently.
No, youre not alone, pick up the phone
And talk to me, baby, you will see...
Although your heart is in pieces,
You cant find a reason to try.
Youre not alone, while Im still standing by.

Back To School
You didnt listen when you went to school
You dressed like a clown and you behaved like a fool
But now your education is about to begin
The difference between love and the mess that youre in
You figured youre cool Ill bend all the rules
Ill get them going red flags to a bull
Its not like the movies no duel in the sun
You need the answer to get your love done
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
You know the business or so you believe
You set all your sights but you aim to deceive
You think youll hit the target every time that you fire
You think you know the difference between love and desire
But someones waiting to turn you around
Shell shoot you down and put your feet on the ground
Its not like dreamin you can make mistakes
A lesson learned is not so easy to take
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
Youre doin numbers but you dont keep the score
Theyre scratchin the surface but they dont
Reach the core
You only bought the ticket cause the price was all in
Youll never reach the heart until you,ve broken the skin
Youre busy running but you never relax
Live now pay later including the tax
But now your education is about to begin
Forget about the stories and the places youve been
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
Back to school back to school

Whenever Youre Gone
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
I cant go any further now, only if you come with me
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms
If you come and look into my eyes, iii see it all more clearly
All of the tears youve seen my cry
Youll take them all away
If you come and open up my eyes and hold me
Take me away and ease my mind
Just come and hold me tight
Chorus:
Whenever youre gone its lonely
Whenever youre gone I cant face the light of day
Its too many times Ive been on my own
With a burning in my heart
Whenever youre gone
Look at the face you see before you, cant you be open to me
Cant you believe what we have, dont throw it away
Believe in me now dont criticize, its only the beginning
Cant you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say
If you came and open up me eyes and hold me
Then I can open up my mind, and I will hold you tight
Chorus
I miss you so, and friends dont understand when I dont want to speak
When youre gone I feel so alone
And I cant sleep for crying, and deep inside I feel like dying

All I Need
Some men need riches and lots of money to spend
Some men need power to hold over other men
But not me baby, girl you can believe
Im telling you my darling
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need fine clothes, big diamond rings
To feel like somebody some men need expensive things
But I feel like somebody, girl, every time you look at me
I dont need nothing to remind me that
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl
Some men need a fine home on a far hillside
Some men need a big car to show off as they ride
Some men need a pretty woman just to walk by their side
And some men need to see the fear in another mans eyes
But all I need baby, is all I can see
When you wrap your loving arms around me
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
Youre, youre all I need
In this world, girl

You never take advice, someday youll pay the price, I know

You Dont Believe In Us
I never asked you for money
I only needed some time
You took more than you gave and you sat on the line
I never asked you for nothing
I only looked for a chance
I only needed some help I never asked for this dance
Now youre holding the aces
The world is under your feet
Therell come a day when you smile and you wont look so sweet
You never gave me no favors
I never owed you a thing
Youll never know why you dream what tomorrow will bring
You dont believe in us...you dont believe in us
You only wanted our mind
You dont believe in us...you dont believe in us
Youre only payin our time
You never gave me no answers
You never showed me no clues
The day will come when Ill watch you take a walk in my shoes
You never saw when I caught it
You never opened your eyes
Youll never see where you stand when your heads in the skies

Starstruck
Baby, you dont know what youre saying,
Because youre a victim of bright city lights,
And your mind is not right.
You think the worlds at your feet.
cause youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Baby, youre running around like youre crazy.
You go to a party and dance through the night,
And youll drink till youre tight,
And then youre out on your feet.
cause youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Baby, watch out or else youll be ruined,
cause once youre addicted to wine and champagne,
Its gonna drive you insane,
Because the worlds not so tame.
And youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Youre taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Dont you know that you are,
Starstruck on me.
And you always will be,
Starstruck on me.
