it's different for girls - joe jackson



what the hell is wrong with you tonight?
i can't seem to say or do the right thing
wanted to be sure you're feeling right
wanted to be sure we want the same thing

she said - i can't believe it
you can't - possibly mean it
don't we - all want the same thing
don't we

well who said anything about love
no not love she said
don't you know that it's different for girls
don't give me love
no not love she said
don't you know that it's different for girls

you're all the same

mama always told me, save yourself
take a little time and find the right girl
then again don't end up on the shelf
logical advice gets you in a whirl

i know - a lot of things that
you don't - you wanna hear some
she said - just give me something
anything
well give me all you got but not love

no not love she said
don't you know that it's different for girls
no not love she said
don't you know that it's different for girls

you're all the same

the final cut - pink floyd

through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
i can barely define the shape of this moment in time
and far from flying high in clear blue skies
i'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where i hide.

if you negotiate the minefield in the drive
and beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
and if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
dial the combination, open the priesthole
and if i'm in i'll tell you what's behind the wall.

there's a kid who had a big hallucination
making love to girls in magazines.
he wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith.
could anybody love him
or is it just a crazy dream?

and if i show you my dark side
will you still hold me tonight?
and if i open my heart to you
and show you my weak side
what would you do?
would you sell your story to rolling stone?
would you take the children away
and leave me alone?
and smile in reassurance
as you whisper down the phone?
would you send me packing?
or would you take me home?

thought i oughta bare my naked feelings,
thought i oughta tear the curtain down.
i held the blade in trembling hands
prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
i never had the nerve to make the final cut.

"hello? listen, i think i've got it. okay, listen its a haha!"

my only love - roxy music



do i ever wonder?
more than words can say
heaven knows it��s hard enough to pray
let me tell you something
there��s a change in me
even now you��re gone you��ll always be

my only love
my only love
my only love

does it seem so funny
for a fool to cry?
do you know the meaning of goodbye?
there��s a river flowing
by a willow tree
when you need to know remember me

my only love
my only love
my only love

let me tell you something
more than words can say
but they��re all i have, no other way
there��s a river flowing
by a willow tree
when you find you��re there remember me

my only love
my only love
my only love

my only love

beware my love - paul mccartney and wings



can't say i've found out,
i can't tell you
what's all about.
don't know who does,
i tell you to
beware, my love.
beware, my love.
beware, my love.
beware, my love.
beware, my love.
beware, my love.

oh, oh, oh,
no, no, no.
i must be wrong, baby, yeah.

but i don't believe that he's the one,
but if you insist,
i must be wrong, i must be wrong,
i have to leave,
and when i'm gone,
i'll leave my message in my song,
that's right.

beware, my love,
he'll bowl you over.
beware, my love,
before you're much older,
he'll sweep you up under his carpet.

you'd be in luck if you could stop it.
come on, now.

well, he'll wear you out,
and in a miniute,
you'll hear a shout,
and then you'll be in it.

so, so beware my love,
'cause he'll take you under.
beware, my love,
the sound of his thunder;

can't say (i've) found out.
i tell you to
beware, my love.
beware, my love.
beware, my love.
beware, my love.

stay (far away, so close!) - U2



green light, seven eleven
you stop in for a pack of cigarettes
you don't smoke, don't even want to
hey now, check your change
dressed up like a car crash
your wheels are turning but you're upside down
you say when he hits you, you don't mind
because when he hurts you, you feel alive
hey babe, is that what it is

red lights, gray morning
you stumble out of a hole in the ground
a vampire or a victim
it depend's on who's around
you used to stay in to watch the adverts
you could lip synch to the talk shows

and if you look, you look through me
and when you talk, you talk at me
and when i touch you, you don't feel a thing

if i could stay...
then the night would give you up
stay...and the day would keep its trust
stay...and the night would be enough

faraway, so close
up with the static and the radio
with satelite television
you can go anywhere
miami, new orleans
london, belfast and berlin

and if you listen i can't call
and if you jump, you just might fall
and if you shout, i'll only hear you

if i could stay...
then the night would give you up
stay...then the day would keep its trust
stay...with the demons you drowned
stay...with the spirit i found
stay...and the night would be enough

three o'clock in the morning
it's quiet and there's no one around
just the bang and the clatter
as an angel runs to ground

just the bang
and the clatter
as an angel
hits the ground

kinder murder - elvis costello



here in the bar, the boys like to have fun
there's a wager lost and an argument won
there's a stone-washed damsel on a junk food run

it's a kinder murder

there's a ladder to heaven from a battered stiletto
spitting out the words that he put into her mouth
see her in silhouette going down south

it's a kinder murder
it's a kinder murder

she could have kept her knees together
should have kept her mouth shut

it's a kinder murder
it's a kinder murder

jimmy took her down to the perimeter fence
he was back in half an hour, he said he left her senseless
then he went back to his regiment

it's a kinder murder

the officer said it has to be denied
there's a tear-stained would-be teenage bride
all the family pride in the little ram-rider

it's a kinder murder
it's a kinder murder

she could have kept her knees together
should have kept her mouth shut

it's a kinder murder
it's a kinder murder

the child went missing and the photo fit his face
dishonoured jimmy just read about the case
he said that he was just taking up space

it's a kinder murder

jimmy took his best friend's keys from the pile on the table in a flash
he was dreaming of the pigskin seats and the walnut dash
the knickers in her handbag and the one false eyelash

it's a kinder murder
it's a kinder murder

she could have kept her knees together
could have kept her mouth shut

it's a kinder murder
it's a kinder murder
it's a kinder murder
it's a kinder murder

don't you ever learn? - todd rundgren



don't you ever listen?
don't you ever learn?
the hand may find you
it's time to take a turn

you think this life is something strange
you're ready for another change
but don't you ever learn?

don't you ever listen?
don't you ever learn?
the world is on fire
your body doesn't burn

kill yourself before receiving
something out of all this breathing
but, don't you ever learn?

don't you ever learn?
don't you ever learn?
don't you ever learn?

hey man, don't you ever learn?

never there - cake



i need your arms around me
i need to feel your touch
i need your understanding
i need your love so much
you tell me that you love me so
you tell me that you care
but when i need you (baby)
baby, you're never there

on the phone
long, long distance
always through such strong resistance
first you say you're to busy
i wonder if you even miss me

never there
you're never there
you're never ever ever ever there

a golden bird that flies away
a candle's fickle flame
to think i held you yesterday
your love was just a game

a golden bird that flies away
a candle's fickle flame
to think i held you yesterday
your love was just a game

a golden bird that flies away
a candle's fickle flame
to think i held you yesterday
your love was just a game

you tell me that you love me so
you tell me that you care
but when i need you (baby)
baby

take the time to get to know me
if you want me why can't you just show me
we're always on this roller coaster
if you want me why can't you get closer

never there
you're never there
you're never ever ever ever there

never there
you're never there
you're never ever ever ever there

never there
you're never there
you're never ever ever ever there

5 days in may - blue rodeo



they met in a hurricane
standing in the shelter out of the rain
she tucked a note into his hand
later on they took his car
drove on down where the beaches are
he wrote her name in the sand
never even let go of her hand

somehow they stayed that way
for those 5 days in may
made all the stars around them shine
funny how you can look in vain
living on nerves and such sweet pain
a loneliness that cuts so fine
to find the face you've seen a thousand times

sometimes the world begins
to set you up on your feet again
it wipes the tears from your eyes
how will you ever know
the way that circumstances go
always gonna hit you by surprise
i know my part
you were there
in everything i've done
you are the one

looking back it's hard to tell
why they stood while others fell
all i know is one cloudy day
they both just ran away
rain on the windshield heading south
she loved the lines around his mouth

sometimes the world begins
to set you up on your feet again
it wipes the tears from your eyes
how will you ever know
the way that circumstances go

always gonna hit you by surprise
i know my part
you were there
in everything i've done
you are the one

monkey man - the rolling stones



i'm a fleabit peanut monkey
all my friends are junkies
that's not really true

i'm a cold italian pizza
i could use a lemon squeezer
what you do?

but i've been bit and i've been tossed around
by every she-rat in this town
have you, babe?

well, i am just a monkey man
i'm glad you are a monkey woman too

i was bitten by a boar
i was gouged and i was gored
but i pulled on through

yes, i'm a sack of broken eggs
i always have an unmade bed
don't you?

well, i hope we're not too messianic
or a trifle too satanic
we love to play the blues

well i am just a monkey man
i'm glad you are a monkey, monkey woman too, babe

i'm a monkey
i'm a monkey
i'm a monkey man
i'm a monkey man
i'm a monkey...

nightswimming - r.e.m.



nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
the photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
still, it's so much clearer.

i forgot my shirt at the water's edge.
the moon is low tonight.
nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
i'm not sure all these people understand.
it's not like years ago,
the fear of getting caught,
of recklessness and water.

they cannot see me naked.
these things, they go away,
replaced by everyday.
nightswimming,
remembering that night.

september's coming soon.
i'm pining for the moon.
and what if there were two
side by side in orbit
around the fairest sun?

that bright, tight forever drum
could not describe nightswimming.
you, i thought i knew you.
you i cannot judge.
you, i thought you knew me,
this one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
nightswimming.

the photograph reflects,
every streetlight a reminder.
nightswimming deserves a quiet night,
deserves a quiet night.

spirits in the night - manfred mann's earth band



crazy janey and her mission man
were back in the alley trading hands
along came wild billy with his friend gee man
all duded up for saturday night
billy slammed on his coaster brakes, said
anybody wanna go to greasy lake
it's a mile down the dark side of route 88
i got a bottle of rosie´ let's try it.

we'll pick up hazy davey and killer joe and
i'll take you all out where the gypsy angels go
they're built like light and they dance like
spirits in the night
in the night, all night
oh you don't know what they can do to you
spirits in the night
in the night, all night
stand right up and let then shoot through you.

wild billy was a crazy cat
he skook some dust out of his coon skin cap
he said try some more of this it'll show you
where you're at
or at least it will help you to feel it
by the time we made it up to greasy lake
my head was out the window, janey's fingers
were in the cake
i think i really dug her, i was too loose to fake
i said him hurt she said honey let's heal it
and we danced all night to a soul fairy band
and she kissed me just right
like only a lonely angel can
she felt so nice just as soft as a
spirits in the night
in the night, all night
janey don't know what she do to you
spirits in the night
in the night, all night
stand right up and let her shoot through me

how the night was bright and the stars threw light
on billy and davey dancing int the moonlight
down near the water in a stoned mud fight killer Joe
passed out on tue lawn
hazy davey got really hurt
he ran into the lake in just
his socks and a shirt
me and crazy janey making love int the dirt
singing our birthday songs
janey said it was time to go, so we closed our eyes
and said goodbye to gypsy angel row
felt so right together we moved like
spirits in the night
in the night, all night
stand right up and let then shoot through you.

spirits in the night
in the night, all night
oh you don't know what they can do to you.

In honour of the world's major players.

Peace on Earth
U2

Heaven on Earth - we need it now
I'm sick of all of this hanging around
Sick of sorrow - sick of the pain
I'm sick of hearing again and again
That there's gonna be peace on Earth

Where I grew up there weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies
They say that what you mock
Will surely overtake you
And you become a monster
So the monster will not break you

And it's already gone too far
Who said that if you go in hard
You won't get hurt?
Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth

Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth
No whos or whys
No-one cries like a mother cries
For peace on Earth
She never got to say goodbye
To see the colour in his eyes
Now he's in the dirt
Peace on Earth

They're reading names out over the radio
All the folks the rest of us won't get to know
Sean and Julia - Gareth, Ann and Breda
Their lives are bigger than any big idea

Jesus can you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line
Peace on Earth
To tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth

Jesus in the song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?
This peace on Earth
Peace on Earth --

Crying or Very sad Bring the Boys and Girls Back Home
