She Sells
(ferry/jobson)
Now youre talking in headlines
Up to the minute and free
Stop press, hold the front page
Up as a mirror
Are you reading me?
Watch you walking in waltz time
A jigsaw puzzle in tune
Or are you faking a straight line
To suit yourself too soon
Rather nouveau than never
Contemporary ideal
Some natural kind of poet might slow it
But she sells more my speed
She sells country and modern
Ancient western song
Of oriental confusion
You so right, me so wrong
Now youre fixing to fly me-
Auto-erotic, please,
On the break that youre gliding.
Your lingeries a gift-wrap
Slip it to me
Nine till five
The daily grind
Made-up lies
Make up my mind
Same machine consuming you
Consuming you
Oh why
She sells
I need
Oh why love why
She sells
I need.

Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? (live)
What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him every day.
What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to.
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"?
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?
If there's a new way,
I'll be the first in line.
But, it better work this time.
What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings.
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?
I'm just not your kind.
What do you mean, "I couldn't be president,
Of the United States of America"?
Tell me something, it's still "We the people", right?
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line,
But, it better work this time.
Can you put a price on peace?
Peace,
Peace sells...,

Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?
Peace sells...,but who's buying?

Mr. Torture
Welcome to the torture chamber
said the sign above the entrance
laughinh as it taked you by the hand
Looking as i maniac savage
inside you can sense the anguish
theatre of pain has just begun
Mr.Torture gives pain
with his whips and his chains
he knows just what you crave
Mr. Torture
If youre feeling alone
then just pick up your phone
dial 18 double 0 Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture sells pain
Only sixty sents a minute
for his special brand of singing
phone guaranteed to blow your mind
You can catch him on a website
has a live chat every weeknight
cyber-torture soon coming your way
Mr Torture sells pain
to the houswives in Spain
he knows just what you crave
Mr Torture
If youre feeling alone
then just pick up your phone
dial 18 double 0 Mr. Torture
Mr Torture sells pain
Handcaffed,bounded,chained and blinded
body, soul and mind ignated
every sense is torn and ripped apart
Hes been banned in twenty countries
though he does it for money
he gets pleasure by hearing you scream
Mr. Torture gives pain
with his whips and his chaines
he knows just what you crave Mr. Torture
If youre feelin alone
then just pick up your phone
dial 18 double 0 Mr. Torture
Mr. Torture sells pain

You Gotta Stop
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
Baby youve been lying to me now Im onto you
Its the same old song but it doesnt ring true
Thats right youre wrong again
Time to change and put you on your own again
Youve had your way too long
Time for me to be moving on
You gotta stop, youre wrong again
Stop ... that song again
Youve been steppin out wild and fancy free
Now youve had your fun and youre running back to me
It just cant be if theres no harmony
Then stop!
Thats all lets break it up
Youve had me fooled now Im wakin up
I see right through your lies
You made me open my eyes
You gotta stop, youre wrong again
Stop ... that song again
Its too late now Ive made up my mind
Being here with you is just a waste of time
Nothing to say so Ill be on my way
Stop!
You gotta stop, youre wrong again
Stop ... that song again
Its too late now Ive made up my mind
Being here with you is just a waste of time
It just cant be if theres no harmony
Then stop! stop! youre wrong again
Stop that song again
Stop! youre wrong again
You gotta stop that song again
Stop!

Youre selling ads you slimy toad
Dont smile at me and shake my hand
Youre killing me
Youre killing us
Because youre only
only selling ads
Youre selling ads you stupid twit
The naked lunch is on your knife
The homicides are suicides
Because youre only

Your copy kills
Your copy smells
Realities are crushed beneath the ads your copy sells
Go back to hell you giddy fools
There is no truth you cannot maim
He killed himself
You killed him first
Because youre only
only selling ads
Your copy kills
Your copy smells
Realities are crushed beneath the ads your copy sells
Youre selling ads you slimy toad
Dont smile at me and shake my hand
Youre killing me

Nobody reads a mystery to get to the middle. They read it to get to the end. If it's a letdown, they won't buy anymore. The first page sells that book. The last page sells your next book.

Running Out Of Angels
They say theyre running out of angels
They say Im running out of time
Oh you dont have to be lucky
It is easier than trying, now theyre bringing down a
Hammer on anything that sells
I suppose youre a winner
Because theyre running out of angels
And all the lies upon the tongues of all the girls upon the rails
Will ruin any man who moved too soon
All except the one who seems to know more than she tells
You know she looks just like an angel
But she sings so out of tune
They say theyre running out of angels
They say Im running out of time
Oh you dont have to be lucky
It is easier than trying, now theyre bringing down a
Hammer on anything that sells
I suppose youre a winner
Because theyre running out of angels
Oh

Ill Wait
Youve got me captured, Im under your spell.
I guess Ill never learn.
I have your picture, yes I know it well.
Another page is turned.
Are you for real ? its so hard to tell,
From just a magazine.
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells,
Look what that does to me.
Chorus:
Ill wait till your love comes down.
Im coming straight for your heart.
No way you can stop me now,
As fine as you are.
I wrote a letter and told her these words,
That meant a lot to me.
I never sent it, she wouldnt have heard,
Her eyes dont follow me.
And while she watches I can never be free,
Such good photography !
Chorus
(guitar solo)
You cant imagine what your image means.
The pages come alive.
Your magic greets everyone who reads.
Heart-break in overdrive
Are you for real, its so hard to tell,
From just a magazine.
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells,
Look what that does to me.

To the moralist prostitution does not consist so much in the fact that the woman sells her body, but rather that she sells it out of wedlock.

Flower Lady
Flowers she sells,
In the market, she dwells,
A burden on thin shoulders,
She balances so well,
Strong as big boulders,
Lovely flowers she sells.
Mad At You
When youre fixing your make-up
You know you take too long
And when you mix me a drink up
You know you mix it too strong
And when you fix me a breakfast
You know you fix it too late
With the wrong kind of egg-cup
And the wrong kind of plate
But honey look at your eyes
You got the innocent eyes
And now youre asking me why
Im mad at you
Mad at you
So come on whats your problem
You know well miss half the show
How come Im walking so fast
How come your walking so slow
After fixing your make-up
For an hour and a half
You say your new shoes are hurting
And you expect me to laugh
But honey look at your eyes
You got the innocent eyes
And now youre asking me why
Im mad at you
Mad at you

Steppin Out Of Line
(words & music by wise - weisman - fuller)
Listen, little lady,
Youre steppin out of line
Whats your hurry baby,
You got a lot of time
Thats not love you feel,
Its only make believe
Watch out, youll break the heart
Youre wearing on you sleeve
Cheating with your kisses
You think you know it all
Old worry gonna get you,
Youre riding for a fall
Better slow it down,
I see a danger sign,
cause the way youre steppin around
Youre steppin out of line
Youre steppin out of line

Satellite Blues
Hey you, youre walking down a new york street
Feel the tension in the midday heat
Youre walking on blood
Tv, its all there on a japanese screen
East, west, theres no in between
Now, we just love the reds
Everything is now because the past is dead
Youve got to look forward if you want to get ahead
What kind of person sells a young person drugs?
You bring them up good but dont call them thugs
Third world stories, well they make the news
Its a five minute wonder, call it...
Satellite blues
Any way the wind blows
Dive, dive! underground is just the place to be
So cool, it keeps the city clean
Now walk on by
I said walk, walk, dont run!
Dont you know youve got to follow the signs?
This lifes so cruel, so cruel to be kind
Its a one-way street
Youve got to live on the edge just to make a big deal
This lifes big fun, man, its like a roulette wheel
What kind of world would let these children die?
Theres so much money we could all retire
We could all live happily if we choose
But its a five minute wonder, call it...
Satellite blues
Any way the wind blows

Friendly Ghost
If youre scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
Ive been spending all my days
Giving all I can give.
Last night I heard someone walking
Through my bedroom door.
What they want Im not exactly sure.
Chorus:
A friendly ghost,
Is all I need. (x2)
Working time on a broken watch,
Countin days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone
And everyones gonna leave me alone.
Two times I thought I heard someone
Knocking on the glass.
I hit my head and prayed that it would last.
Chorus
If youre scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
Ive been carrying round a grudge,
I think I better forgive
Last night I heard footsteps walking
On the attic floor.
Got up and I opened up the door.
Chorus
If youre scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
Ive been spending all my days
Giving all I can give.

The whore fares
The whore is the woman
Who sells her body, not her heart.
In adultery, the woman
Sells, bodily or not, the very heart.
A cuckold is more ill fated
Than one whose wife was a whore.

I Cant Breakaway
Written by c. jackson & m. yancy
I cant break away from you
Ooh, theres something about you that I cant explain
I get excited when I hear your name
I cant break away from you
Deep in my mind youre always here
Whenever I turn youre always near
Oh, just cant, just cant, just cant
Ive only known you for a little while
Yet, I can truly say I dig your style
Even the way you call my name
It sounds like a song the angels sang
Just being near you gives me satisfaction
I tell you its some new kind of action
Your love I could never, ever turn away
Why dont you hear me when I try to say
I cant break away from you
Youre like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I cant break away from you
Deep in my mind youre always there
You stay around me everywhere
Yeah, baby, oh, yeah
(we have a different style of love)
Different (so different, and so new)
(we have a crazy kind of love) so crazy
(crazy, yes its true)
(and Im gonna never turn away)
Oh, do you hear what I say
I cant break away from you
Youre like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I cant break away, no, from you
Deep in my mind youre always there
Whenever I turn youre always here
Oh, you cant, never get away from you
(I cant break away)
When I rise in the morning
(I cant break away)
You, you, you, oh, you, you got the power
(I cant break away)
Each and every hour, hey, babe
(I cant break away)
You been a mighty good leader, oh, yeah
(I cant break away)
You been a mighty good leader, well
(I cant break away)
You saved my soul, yes, you did
(I cant break away)
Oh, ho, ho, you been a mighty good leader, well

Under Suspicion
(b. tyler/p. hopkins/p. oxendale)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
I put my trust in you cos Im not the suspicious kind
But it seems to me that theres someone on your mind
And maybe Im wrong and maybe theres some mistake
But I wont take any chances, Im watching every move you make
I never felt so scared and helpless before
I wish I could believe in you but I just gotta be sure
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time
When we talk I can see you cant look me straight in the eye
Whats all the secrecy, you got me wondering why
Is it someone you met that could make you regret your decision
How could you forget all our plans and all our ambitions
Dont try to pull the wool right over my eyes
You think youre pretty smart but I can see right through your disguise
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Instrumental
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion

Youre under suspicion all of the time
Youre under suspicion all of the time

I Can Prove You Wrong
(monty criswell/greg mcdougal/billy spencer)
I know he gave you every reason
To lose your faith in love
Give me the chace Ill find the pieces
To a heart thats given up
You say theres nothing I can do
But no ones ever too far gone
Its a heartache talking when
You say youll never love again
And I can prove you wrong
I can prove you wrong
I know I can make you see
That youre right where you belong
When youre right here with me
If I could wrap these arms around you
You wont even know hes gone
But if youre still afraid
Love always ends that way
I can prove you wrong
I can show you what Im saying
Is so much more than empty words
And if you want me here Im staying
But Ill walk away if you prefer
A broken heart takes time to heal
And right now yours is not that strong
You say theres no one left for you
But if you want me to
I can prove you wrong
I can prove you wrong
I know I can make you see
That youre right where you belong
When youre right here with me
If I could wrap these arms around you
You wont even know hes gone
But if youre still afraid
Love always ends that way
I can prove you wrong
But if youre still afraid
Love always ends that way
I can prove you wrong
