Strange Things
Somethings up ahead
I heard the driver shout
The voice inside me said
Get down but dont get out
I called out to the guard
He said Im not alive
Why it aint that hard
I turned and took a dive
He laid upon the ground
I softly kissed your hair
Then we ran around
When no one else was there
I woke just as the sun was rising
Brush cobwebs from my eyes
The morning rain looked just like diamonds
Well that was quite a surprise
I wondered cross the meadow
Thinking of the dream
Followed by my shadow
Wondering where Id been
Ya,ya, ya, na, na, na, na
Ya,ya, ya, na, na, na, na
Ya,ya, ya, na, na, na, na

Inside Out
Look out your window
That grass aint green
Its kinda yellow
See what I mean?
Look up your chimney
The sky aint blue
Its kinda yellow
You know its true
(its so hard to figure what its all about)
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, dont it make you wanna twist and shout
When youre inside out
Look down your drain pipe
What color do you see?
Its got to be yellow
Dont try to fool me
(and dont it make you wanna twist and shout)
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, dont it make you wanna twist and shout
When youre inside out
Be careful where youre walking
You might step in something rough
Be careful where youre talking
And saying all that stuff
Take care when you are breathing
Somethings funny in the air
And somethings Im not saying
bout whats happening out there
Its inside out
Look into the future
With your mystic crystal ball
See if it aint yellow
See if its there at all
(aint no shadow or a doubt)
(dont it make you wanna twist and shout)
When your outsides in (inside out)
And your downsides up (upside down)
Yeah, your upsides right (rightside up)
Yeah, dont it make you wanna twist and shout
When youre inside out

Angel Eyes
(macauley/potger)
Tossing and turning last night I was burning
For you my love
I couldnt sleep or face one more night on my own
Somehow the wind and the rain seem to call out my name
In the still of night
The sound that I heard was your voice
And the words, oh I knew
You called me angel eyes
Child of the morning
You and I will soon be together
My darling
Angel eyes, Ill be beside you
Through the night you called me your angel eyes
Closing my eyes I could still visualize
All those golden days
In letters you write you promise well share them again
Oh darling nevertheless still I have to confess
That last night I cried
When a voice in the rain softly called out again
Ill be home
Dont cry my angel eyes
Child of the morning
You and I will soon be together
My darling
Angel eyes, Ill be beside you
Through the night you called me your angel eyes
Angel eyes, child of the morning
Your angel eyes

Clouds
Bad boy
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way
Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel it
As every fairy tale comes real i
Ive looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So so many things I couldve done
But clouds
Angeldust gets in your eyes your hair
On acid stars your getting there
My bodys assembled into
A little itty bitty gift to you
When you die Ive looked at life that way
But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
So so dont let them inside, dont let them know
Dont give yourself ohh away
But now my friends are acting strange
They shake their heads man they say Ive changed well
Well somethings lost rearranged
From living every every every ive
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its just illusions I recall
I really dont know I really dont know
I really dont know I really dont know
I really dont I really dont clouds at all
Why are we here...terrified terrified wow

Torpedo Girl
Man battlestations torpedo, man battlestations torpedo
I thought Id go out and take a swim today
It was real hot and I just had to get away
They spotted an unknown sub down in the bay
But I dont care, think Ill go swimmin anyway - yeah
Lets take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive, torpedo girl
Lets take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive
But I knew when I was in the suds and swimmin around
But then all of a sudden I heard this rumblin sound
I saw this thing that looked a lot like a submarine
With a pretty girl on the bridge, could this be a dream?
I dont know, could be
Lets take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive, torpedo girl
Lets take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive
Come on, get your feet wet
Torpedo girl, lets take a dive, torpedo girl, and feel alive

I Went To The Mirror
In a voice soaked with euphoria:
I went to the mirror this morning
I looked in the mirror instead
The first thing to come into focus
Was a face wrapped all around my head
Theres something sticking out of the middle
I guess its my nose (I suppose)
I just dont recognize those eyes
All these years Ive been watching from the other side
The voice is now one of brutal stupefication. the underlying question is - if
You went crazy, would you know it?
Uh oh, here I go thinking them crazy thoughts again.
Who is that there? you mean I been walking around
In that all these years? whats it all about?
Wheres it all at? I dont want to get heavy but
What am I doing here? uh
My lip has a dark spot upon it
(the voice of a mature adult whos comprehensive
Capacity has suddenly been reduced to that of a
Cherrystone clam)
My teeth look like plastic in chips
And there on my chin I discover
One lonely red and arrogant zit
I went about my business this morning
You got to get out of bed and make that bread
But try as I may to get away
I wont forget what I seen in the mirror today
Boogie on out to a brand new day.
Get off your back and dance!
I seen my eyes. I seen my nose. my lips. my teeth.
My, my gums. I seen my gums! I looked all the way
Down my throat! I looked at my ears. I looked real
Hard at my ears. I looked at my hair. I think Im going
Bald. I had hair all over the sink or something...

Two Out Of Three Aint Bad
(jim steinman)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
Theres nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But thatll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldnt make me leave here
I poured it on and I poured it out
I tried to show you just how much I care
Im tired of words and Im too hoarse to shout
But youve been cold to me so long
Im crying icicles instead of tears
And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Youll never find your gold on a sandy beach
Youll never drill for oil on a city street
I know youre looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there aint no coupe de ville hiding at the bottom
Of a cracker jack box
I cant lie
I cant tell you that Im something Im not
No matter how hard I try
Ill never be able
To give you something
Something that I just havent got
Well theres only one boy that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though Ill never get him out of my head
He never loved me back
Ooh I know
Well I remember how he left me on a stormy night
He kissed me and got out of our bed
And I pleaded and I begged him not to walk out that door
He packed his bags and turned away
And he kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
He kept on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
Theres nothing left inside of here
I keep on telling you
I keep on telling you
I keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad
Now dont be sad
Cause two out of three aint bad

But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you

Dream Some Little Dream
…afterwards I laid back down
and spread my palms down on the ground
it wasn’t long before I found
myself inside a little dream
I heard a sound and looked around
and saw them swimming in the stream
a horrid sight I turned my head
and let loose a silent scream
the fish you see were busy there
eating a piece of me
I shook it of and brushed my head
I watched a leaf fall to the ground
as busy brownie moved around
and called me names but made no sound
I felt a pressure push me down
like a magnet to the ground
the fish they splashed in their little stream
as I began to dream some little dream

Hunter
I was alone and sickly
It was a quarter of a moonlit night
I heard him cry through my window shade
And it filled me so full of fright
But I could not turn my back on him
I put on the back porch light
Can I help you, said the good samaritan
Can I help you, said the good samaritan
I brought him bread and a blanket
But I told him, you cant come in
You can sleep outside in the tool shed
Though a little rain comes in
Oh, I dont know you, youre a stranger
I dont know where youve been
You cant come in here, said the keeper of the inn
I dont want you in here, said the keeper of the inn.
But I couldnt sleep for the thinking
You know my night got so insane
I thought, maybe he was an angel
And I left him out in the rain
And what if he was the devil
Hed be coming after me again
But when I woke in the weary morning he was gone
When I woke in the weary morning he was gone
I thought maybe he was an angel
And I left him out in the rain
And what if he was the devil
Hed be coming after me again
When I woke in the weary morning he was gone
When I woke in the weary morning, lord, he was gone

Deadlock Holiday
I was walkin down the street
Concentratin on truckin right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked round in a state of fright
I saw four faces, one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each other
I say
I dont like cricket oh no
I love it
I dont like cricket no no
I love it
Dont you walk through my words
Got to show some respect
Dont you walk through my words
cause you aint heard me out yet
Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said Ill give you one dollar
I said you got to be jokin man,
It was a present from me mother
He said I like it, I want it,
Ill take it off your hands
And youll be sorry you crossed me
Youd better understand that youre alone,
A long way from home!
I say
I dont like reggae no no
I love it
I dont like reggae
I love it
Dont you cramp me style
Dont you queer me pitch
Dont you walk through my words
cause you aint heard me out yet
I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin pina calarda
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said Ive got it, you want it,
My harvest is the best
And if you try it, youll like it
And whollow in a dreadlock holiday
And I say
Dont like jamaica oh no
I love her
Dont like jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Dont you walk through her words
Got to show some respect
Dont you walk through her words

I dont like reggae
I love it dreadlock holiday
Dont like jamaica

Early In The Morning
Early in the morning and I cant get right
Had a little date with my baby last night
Now its early in the morning (early in the morning)
Well its early in the morning (early in the morning)
Now its early in the morning
And I aint got nothing but the blues
Went to all the places where we used to go
Went to your house but you dont live there no more
Now its early in the morning (early in the morning)
Well its early in the morning (early in the morning)
Early in the morning
And I aint got nothing but the blues
Went to your friends house but she was out
Knock on your fathers door and he began to shout get out there boy
Early in the morning (early in the morning)
Early in the morning (early in the morning)
Early in the morning
And I aint got nothing but the blues
Went to doogie chain to get something to eat
Waiter looked at me and said you sure look beat
Now its early in the morning (early in the morning)
Early in the morning (early in the morning)
Well its early in the morning
And I aint got nothing but the blues
Well its early in the morning
And I aint got nothing but the blues

Angst Mary
Child is born from the act of love
And woman dies from the act of love
Something aint right around here
Laugh at a man when hes alive
And then cry for him when he dies
Something aint right around here
Still I dream of sex, still I dream of sex
Maybe, baby, I dont belong around here
Maybe, baby, I dont fit in around here
Maybe I dont belong and things just got a way too clear
Generation lost in space
Blame it on the old rat race
Something aint right around here
Staring up at my ceiling fan
It go round and round, yes I am
Wondering what Im going to do tonight
Still I dream of you, still I dream of you
Maybe, baby, I dont belong around here
Maybe I dont fit in, child I dont fit in around here
Maybe I dont belong in things
It got a way too hunh, hunh, hunh...
Will you be my girl tonight
And can I walk along the beach and hold your hand softly
Mary opened up her arms and said come to me, come to me, come to me
Im still right here and it all so clear
Something seems right around here
Im still right here and it all seems all so clear
Something seems right around round here
Now I dream of you, now I dream of you
Baby, baby, I do belong right here
Maybe, child, I do fit in around here
Maybe I always fit in
My head was just a bit unclear

Boys
Written by ricky & marty wilde
Fresh out of school the young girl lose the sound
Shes gonna go where the young bands hang around
And its still to right with a voice inside
Shes screaming, dreaming
And theres no disguise when you look in her eyes shes scheming
Im thinking about the boys
Shes thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
There in the dark he starts to touch her hair
Others go round but right now you dont care
Well you just dont fight when theyre holding you tight
That feeling, feeling
Well it looks to good and hes making it so appealing
Im thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys
Still feeling ground as she goes to make the kill
Watching her move the world is standing still
Cos its still too right with a voice inside
You screaming, dreaming
And theres no disguise when you look in their eyes shes scheming
Im thinking about the boys
Thinking about the boys

Strangers Eyes
All alone, a rainy night
No one around but I fell someone watching me
I look around, the street is bare nobody there
I wonder what it could be
As I turned to walk away
Suddenly I saw his face
Never minding that we were alone
Didnt care about the time, at the moment I was felling fine
I was looking into strangers eyes
(he caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(he looking into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(thats when he came)
He came and captured me
Like a scene out of a dream, I cant believe it
Kind of strange and familiar
But in his eyes I get a sign, I get a feeling
I get the feeling he knows me
Maybe I could stay a while, maybe I could make you smile
I dont have much to do
Maybe we could walk awhile
Maybe, maybe we could talk awhile
Cant help looking into strangers eyes
I was looking into strangers eyes
(he caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(he looked into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(thats when he came)
He came and captured me
How was I to know this would happen
Thought I didnt know I would meet this stranger
Its the kind of thing that dreams are made of
And I keep thinking about strangers eyes
I was looking into strangers eyes
(he caught me by surprise)
They looked right through me
(he looked into my eyes)
Never knew
Never, ever thought that love could be
(thats when he came to me)
He came and captured me

Its My Life
This aint a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I aint gonna be just a face in the crowd
Youre gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
Chorus:
Its my life
Its now or never
I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while Im alive
Its my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For tommy and gina who never backed down
Tomorrows getting harder make no mistake
Luck aint even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
Chorus:
Its my life
And its now or never
I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while Im alive
cause its my life
Better stand tall when theyre calling you out
Dont bend, dont break, baby, dont back down
Chorus:
Its my life
And its now or never
cause I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive
(its my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while Im alive
Chorus:
Its my life
And its now or never
cause I aint gonna live forever
I just want to live while Im alive

Shout It Out
Why are you so frightened - were getting in the mood
Body breaking volume - we are loud and rude
Laser piercing lighting - megasonic sound
The first day of your lesson - upheaval in the ground
Were forging straight ahead now - its not a dream
Never ever lose the power - were as hard as steel
Dont you feel the fire - the burning in your soul
Just come and join the fantasy - it will make you free
So cut the crap out - its for you
Feel so damn proud - of this rocking crew
Well break the world down - tear up all the rules
Reality is clear now - the future is for you
So shout it out - just let it out
So shout it out - as loud as you can
So shout it out - just let it out
So shout it out - as loud as we all can
Nows the final showdown - its time to be released
Our weapons are so deadly - were armed up to the teeth
Electrostatic soundwaves - you cannot hide
Gonna execute our metal shock - straight between the eyes

Its like a dream to be with you again
Cant believe that Im with you again

I kissed a few and once did sit
On ivor the engine drivers lap
And later with him, had a nap
You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... (ad lib)

Without You
Where were you?
When I sat down in deep silence
Looking at the rain through my window,
While tears were rolling down on my face:
Surrounded by empty spaces
Which madly echoed my grief…
I asked the rain about you,
But it was all in vain,
For my question turned into water
Gone with the wind…
I was then a lonely soul
Looking for your company,
Within a world of nothingness…
Outside, the sky kept crying,
While inside, embraced by walls,
My heart was falling apart
In great desperation…
The night arrived quietly
To share my torments,
But still, you were not by my side
When I needed so much…
Suddenly, I fell asleep,
When I woke up in the morning;
For my surprise,
The rain, the wind and the night
Were all gone…
Except the memory of you
Which turned into a dream,
That never came true…

Across the Road
To cross or not to cross
was all I thought
when I saw her face across the road.
Her eyes was set as though she lost her soul,
so lost like she is never in this world.
She never minded her shadow on the ground...
her watch as if to melt under her stare,
tic tacked not faster than her heartbeat
for she thought her head was on her feet-
At last, she looked my way
and her pretty face paled.
Suddenly she stood still as though
she gasped some air from death to life...
I can't escape her stare.
To cross or not to cross, I never thought
when across the road she merely stood
nearly meeting her shadow on the ground.
I closed my eyes- I heard the sound
of her crying heart, I found
myself walking away with the woman on my side.
It pained to see her that way cry...
just because I couldn't cross the road for her.
It pained to watch her die.
