Love Revolver
Love's like a song
baby, calm down
listen to it play
If you talk to much
you'll drown it out
while it plays
Let it grow on you
let it revolve on the player
let it send shivers through you
Don't do it a favor
by putting it on 45
Don't do it a favor
by putting it on 45
Slow down relax
let the blue get black
you're evil's nightmare.
Soak this in through thick and thin
and the ripe old fruit will come down
let the batteries charge
through the soft and hard
let the close get far away
Let it grow on you
let it revolve on the player
let it send shivers through you
Don't do it a favor
by putting it on 45
Don't do it a favor
by putting it on 45
Slow down relax
let the blue get black
you're evil's nightmare.
Slow down relax
let the blue get black
you're evil's nightmare.
Slow down relax
let the blue get black
you're evil's nightmare
Slow down relax
let the blue get black
you're evil's nightmare.

The Comfort In Lies
I see madness and rage and the fear in the face of my reflection
and I wonder sometimes why I bother to stand in its way.
I mean, looking at all of the things that I've left unaccomplished
If I weren't a child I could have anything my own way
But it's true when you're true to yourself you've got to be happy.
I prefer the comfort in lies any old day.
(chorus) oooh, everything's all right
I'm here for a reason
ooooh, no need to get uptight, everything's all right
ooooh, everything's all right
I'm here for a reason
Just wasting my time - thinking of the fate of the nation.
What can I do when nobody knows what to expect?
Just a child of the wild, I can be king of the world now making my way to the gold mine, yeah.
I may just be a good boy
Gotta be happy.
I prefer the comfort in lies any old day.
(chorus)

She Don't Stop Running
If I'm looking for her
Then I'm where I belong.
Can't stay home and think straight
when she's been gone so long.
(Chorus)
I'm not trying to keep her
I don't miss her at all.
It's more how it feels on the outside
how she don't stop running when I call.
She don't need beautiful clothes
because she turns heads all the same.
When I take her back home
she's gonna dress like a man again.
(Chorus)
I'm gonna let her run now.
That's when she always returns.
If she comes back looking funny
you know it's gonna be my turn.
(Chorus)

The Girl's In Love
The girl's in love
now who's the lucky winner?
They all say that
luck is with me.
Baby knows that she can get me going
just like she always did before.
But now that I've heard she's in love
I wonder if my heart will open her door
the girl's in love
who's the lucky winner
they all say luck is with me
The girl's in love x4
The girl's in love she's looking out the window
she's looking like she's never seen before
her starlit eyes have really got me going
she's knocking them dead everywhere she goes
to the window they stare back saying how did land such a gold mine girl
such a goldmine girl
the girl's in love
the girl's in love with you!
they all know I'm going to get her
together forever we will fly
I'll call her my baby
it's wishful thinking
just in case they wondered why.
Spent a lonely rainy September
wishing her love would answer me back.
The girl's in love
the girl's in love with me
is the girl in love?
is the girl in love?
is the girl in love?
is the girl in love with me?

The Words Don't Matter
The words don't matter because they say too much
there's something behind it all
There's something behind it all
when you kiss me and I feel your touch
the words don't matter at all
Everything I want is in a silent world
when she becomes a woman
she becomes a woman
when her words aren't too loud
and she don't swear for the crowd
the words don't matter at all
The words don't matter
can't you hear what I say?
The words don't matter
they get in the way
Everything I want in this silent girl
when she becomes a woman
she becomes a woman
the words don't matter at all
(solo)
Everything I want in a silent girl
when she becomes a woman
she becomes a woman
when the words aren't too loud
when she don't swear for the crowd
and the words don't matter at all
the words don't matter at all

Only A Downtown Girl
When the last glance got you thinking
I was a traveller
and you were only a downtown girl
I could handle the blade with regret
shadow you in denial and neglect
only a downtown girl
aaaah
As I watch our world die
and miss the shelter of your expression
a candle lit for you
it could seem so dull
and sharp as any pain
go deep as any root
and rough as any grain
only a downtown girl.
aaah
When the last glance got you thinking
I was a traveller
and you were only a downtown girl.
Should we be strangers
when the talk and answer arouses us to be friends?

Falling On The Ground Again
(chorus)
We're falling on the ground, again, oh boy
falling on the ground again
We're falling on the ground, again, oh boy
falling on the ground.
Now things have gone and changed
I can't seem to get my own way
and here I'm making a man out of me
the very one that you thought I could be
If we're still together someday
the harm would settle in anyway
and I'll remember what I liked you for
the first glance and now we're
(chorus)
I hope I like our past
when we're too old to ask
Are you a joke I've heard before?
What am I laughing for?
If we're still together someday
the harm would settle in anyway
and I'll remember what I liked you for
the first glance and now we're
(chorus)
I bet you wonder why I'm here
not with you or your pretty mirror
get used to not being around me
that's the way it's going to be
If we're still together someday
the harm would settle in anyway
and I'll remember what I liked you for
the first glance and now we're

The Happy Song
I'm singing
for the hopeful
I'm feeling
Feeling good
Take me sailing
take me flying
take me anywhere
I can do it
Because I'm leaving
this all behind
and I ain't got
too much time
(chorus)
Hey - I'm happy (happy)
to leave the past behind.
Hey- I'm happy (happy)
Got to leave the past behind
Oooh won't you cry me
cry me a river
the people
they used to say
now I'm not so
insecure
won't be pitied no more
because I was standing
in a shadow
of somebody who
abandoned me.

The Sunshine Man
There's a man in the sunshine land
and he's thinking of you
he's got a trend that he's willing to spend
and he's counting on it to
to come on through
and show you the way to go
to show you what to do
to show you who to know
there's a man in the sunshine land
There's a plan called the sunshine band
and he's playing for truth
a couple chords for all the drugs he can score and some girls to do
he's got a message for you
he'll show you the way to go
he'll show you what to do
he'll show you who to know
there's a plan called the sunshine band.
There's a there's a plan called the sunshine man
and he's praying for you
he's only high because he's up in the sky
and he's laughing at you
saying, "what you trying to prove?
hanging with the fold
messing with the wrong crew
what do you really know?"
There's a plan called the man of sunshine
there's a plan called the man of sunshine

Happy Man
What's so bad about laughing not taking things so hard?
when you're with me all I'm asking is you play a happy part.
If you don't understand a happy man
Because baby I know I can
What's so bad about talking
something you find hard to do?
Before I say what's on my mind
I have to stand inside your shoes.
Silence never falls once it learns to stands.
I know I know it can.
What's so bad about touching
holding you like I would?
To you it may mean something
changing where our friendship stood.
You don't really know me if you don't know my hand.
You don't know me but I know you can.

In The Beginning (The Shield)
This is to catch the storm in the palm of my hand
that has blown over us from the beginning
and to shield you from it
so we can dance unharmed
and this is to tell the clear blue sky
(chorus)
I'll try to understand the shield
as no one has before, or will
and someday when we're frozen still
we can still weep rain. x2
This is as much a hope as it is a touch
hope the pain don't mean too much
because that's all the wind seems to take us through is anger and such
and the bottom scraped dry
and I look you in the eye
and tell you I always wanted you
(chorus)
shooting star hits the ground
you'll be a nobody with a scene in your house
spitting everything that you took
everything that was pain

What's that sound that cause my heart to break?
Must be those promises I make
Jenny can't get you where I want you any old time.
Jenny can't get your sweetheart carried away
Jenny can't get your sweetheart carried away
My heart has sure sign of weakness
must be I could use a little more sweetness
Jenny can't get your sweetheart carried away.
Jenny can't get your sweet heart out of my mind
Jenny can't get your sweet heart out of my mind
What's that sound that cause my heart to break?
Must be those promises I make
Jenny can't get you where I want you any old time.

Kiss These Lonely Blues Goodbye
Everytime I close my eyes I can see her face
If everyone were built like her
she'd still have a place.
(chorus) I'm gonna take a plane gonna take a train kiss these lonely blues goodbye

but no takers
she's got a fast touch
wants everyone to love her the same

She's Looking Good
She's never gonna make me cry
just as long as she's on my side
taking me ride sally riding.
You know she's always got it treated so right
so right
so right
so she's always inviting.
(chorus)I want to tell the world about her
tell all the world about her
how she's looking good
what one man thinks about her
is what another man's thinking about her
she's looking good
she's looking good
A ride sally ride consists of a little magic trick - a crazy little thing called love.
When I get in the door
I want to be on the floor
getting a little roughed up.

California
I been living out here in the cold
I've been living up to here in the cold
and the warm sun shines everyday in California
I'm told every night is a starry night
not a cloud ever in the sky
and every woman there is sweet as these Californian friends of mine
(chorus) they say to come to California
Come to California
Come and stay a while you got a place to stay and a car to drive
Now all day long
people see me smile
I'm saving for my ticket to fly a thousand miles
While slipping on the cold streets
I met my old friend Drew
Well he sure looked happy
He said "you do too man"
I told him my news about my ticket
and he wasn't surprised
I said, "I'm going to California"
He said, "So Am I"
(chorus)
Now as I look around
this painful blowing snow
I never wonder why now I see smiles everywhere I go.
People keep it to themselves
I got a cigar in my coat
I got dodgers tickets
I got a farewell note. 9saying - gone to California)
(chorus)
Next is Honolulu.

Well you hurt my heart before

with all your deadly sins
no more Mrs. Nice Guy, Mrs. Nice Guy

Wait Until The Sun Don't Shine
We'll wait until the sun don't shine
Until the field's a little colder
I know I'm gonna make her mine
I get healed whenever I hold her
(chorus)
She - She's my angel
She - yes she is.
I've thought a lot of this before
And I feel this great desire
and there's nothing I'd want more
than to take it a lot higher

We're waiting 'til the sun don't shine.
We're waiting 'til the sun don't shine.

In Through The Outdoor
I was hoping to be your guy
and nobody wonders why
that's why I'm lonely and feeling blue
since my buddy took off with you
(chorus) well my heart started aching
can't you see it was all for the taking
the trouble taken was all it was good for
trouble coming on in from the outdoor
I made myself look pretty good
I took a walk through your neighbourhood
past your house where I knew you were
I was in a suit which is so absurd.
(chorus)
I saw buddy standing at heaven's gate
I knew by your smile I was too late
It's worth any grief that I have
just to know that you'll never be sad
If I have hope don't ask me why
I will never be by your side
No best man here to kiss no bride
since the day that the music died

(Chorus)
you can't hide me I'm the rising sun, baby
you can't hide me I'm the rising sun
ain't nobody's fool
Everywhere I go I try to shine
I try my best to make her mine
I'm funny guy 'cause I'm laughing all the time
they're laughing at me well I don't mind
I've got flash and I'm big on the cash
I suck a lot of pot and do the monster mash

Guys telling me they can treat her a lot better oh yeah
she's looking pretty fine but I'm pretty sure they never met her
no way

Mr. Gentleman
There's a gentleman in a leather coat
laughing when all of the fun starts
and he keeps his wits about him well
laughing when all of the bad fun starts
questioning nothing
he's a bad girls dream
he runs with the followers and he is a leader
some will praise and some will warn
when he finds a girl just how he'll treat her
oh yeah
(chorus)
Well you better go
Mr. Gentleman
tie your shoes on loose
and let your tires roll
put your car on cruise
and let your tires roll
give her the stood up (bad news) blues x2
Mr. Gentleman
There's a gentleman
in a loner bar
half past midnight on a first class Friday night
with a lonely drunk faced mask
and the night is getting deathly black
and he has no one to surrender to
and he don't even keep track at all
of all the girls he's stood up and lost
promising each they'd be the last one.
(chorus)
Where's your heart?
Fell out of your pocket?
I don't like your act
and I don't like your talking x4

I'm Always Breaking My Heart
What do you think that he'd think of me taking away his girl?
Is it true that you say he can possess any girl in the world?
Well I'm breaking my heart and I ain't breaking yours
I feel the tension inside
As you walk away
because you're afraid to stay
and see how hard my love is to hide
(Chorus)
I just can't take it no more
I'm always breaking my heart
I know you won't stay
I know how you feel
I know that I'm making you run away
He's got real fine clothes and he's buying a home and he handles his money real well
but from what I have seen and from what you have said there's not too much more you would tell
because I think that you want what you say you can't do
where is the rebel inside?
Take off your shoes
he'll run over you
with guilt because you're running away
(chorus)
When I meet your kiss it will do me in again and again
because you are strong and your eyes belong so softly searching through mine

On A Border
It's been a long time since I came and left
The skin burning days are now down in the south
the wintertime poisons the land in defeat
and the cold breezes burn and foam at the mouth
(chorus)
She lives on a border down south
near Mexico's mountains where she can be free
she's found some new lovers
who roam the old gutters
she's broken new ground
dreamed some new dreams.
She came like a whisper and took me away
breathless I followed and ran to the edge
but the edge was not there for me to trip over
and the kindness of lovers somehow came and went.
(chorus x2)
Now I must find a new candlelight girl
to give me the pride that made me a man
now I'm a boy who questions the darkness
gets beaten by boredom and never fights back
(chorus)

There's No One In This World But You And Me
I'm stuck in this prison outside is rain and hail
I'm trying to find some loneliness but sure, to no avail
And the cell my lover's got me in
is cold you may agree
and there's no one in this world but you and me
She met me on a trail in the San Fernando hills
Never thought she'd be a drummer but she hit me like a fill.
I moved in with her on Dixie Street and we had a kid or two
I don't keep track
I'm laid back
just like you.
Windy Beaches
sun can't reach us
places teach us
what we need
just give me a little sign
you'll be there half the time
good enough baby
to spare some love
Kahlua don't bite
it softens the blow
I'm trailing off like an eskimo
And my heart is as cold as your heart is gold
and there's no one in the world
there's no one in this world but you and me
there's no one in this world but you and me

You're Never Gonna Get Me On That Road
I don't want to flaunt you
but you cost me my gypsy life
Saturday night promises
were more a chain than a knife.
(chorus) So I followed the killer to the healer
So I followed the killer to the healer
and she wasn't there
I say you're never gonna get me on that road
that ain't what life's all about.
She had me inside to count deeds I hadn't done
Berlin night crawls hadn't been any fun.

The World Don't Mention You
Can't tell you how I feel
Can't tell you I don't know
the truth from the light of the day
It's different with your fire
It also keeps me warm
Seems so real that love is here to stay
(chorus)
"You can't win all the time"
my voice speaks back to me
"lies are fun when everyone believes
the world don't mention you
maybe you should care"
I want to be a child
helpless in your arms
but I know you can't keep me from harm
you do what you can
you show me the way
seems so real that love is here to stay.
(chorus)
I've got no bad intentions
I know you've suffered much
That's something good if I'm your luck.
Got nowhere else to go
got nothing else to say
seems so real that love is here to stay.

You're Gonna Make Me Happy
I'm so lonely but you'll change that soon
I'll say hello to the man in the moon
Take a back road
it's my friend.
I need a girl like you
gotta wait another year or two
gotta wait another year or two
gotta wait to see what you're gonna do.
I'm gonna treat you to a world on a string
I'm gonna buy you anything
We're gonna make a perfect team
Stick around to comfort my girl
You'll be the only one in my world
Listen to the worlds you dream
(chorus)
You're gonna make me happy
You're gonna make me hurt
You're gonna make me miss you
and see what life's all about.
You're gonna make me happy
You're gonna make me hurt
You're gonna make me miss you
and see what life's all about.

The Lone Ranger From Pluto
I've been walking around this old hole
back from space and I'm all alone
I'm a damsel in distress
and nobody cares to get me out of this mess
(Chorus)
I'm a lone ranger from Pluto
I'm a runaway from the sky
I'm a lone ranger from Pluto
I'm a runaway from the sky
I've seen your so called so called evolution
of your lifes life on earth
and my head can't you tell it is spinning
because nobody holds onto what they're worth

Mr. Joe you're falling in the dust
Mr. Joe you're falling into the dust
it must be hard to cry
it's been such a long time since you even tried
to go insane.
Mr. Joe you've gone and changed your name
Mr. Joe you've made a grave mistake
Dancing to a song unknown
little song called "sticks and stones may break my bones"
oh no
you've gone insane.
(chorus)
and all the words you read that once touched you
you found were not for honor or for fame
you run your shadow in the ground, don't you?
all in all we're just dancing in pain.
Mr. Joe, I'm sorry for the trick
I played on you last night just for a kick
"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"
I floored it when you left the car
I was insane.

My heart's broken I'm telling you
Something with my standard I know it's true
I will regret walking out the door
but I'm certain I'm right it's ok
I light a candle and turn off the day
She knew me too well to care
She had no handle on the grudges I held on her
Now I'm aching and I know she will for sure
because I'm certain I'm drifiting away

Ancient Empty House
Well half past nine and you are already flying
With your monkey suit heading for the sun
I love the way you smiled
when you left today
gotta tell you
it ain't the same since you been gone
I took my guitar out
and I played a little song
but the melody didn't touch me at all
where have all the perfumes gone
from the bedroom?
Gotta tell you
it ain't the same
since you been gone.
I went walking
in a big vast crowd
but no one saw or kissed me at all
and I came back here
to some ancient empty house
gotta tell you
it ain't the same since you been gone
I invited my twisted friends
to subdue the loneliness
it was like stabbing the heart of the matter
for a little bit of blood
I hope you meet another
who can't measure up to me
Gotta tell you
it ain't the same since you been gone

Star Machine
I am a star machine
I live to find another dream
perhaps another girl like you
lying still beneath the moon
(Chorus)
We're never colliding
We're never colliding
We're never colliding
We're never colliding
You can't be seen like the sun
but you can shine like anyone
Believe in love until you die
and when love fails be glad you tried
(Chorus)
No one needs you far away
they have their stars to show the way
love is guiding each of us
believe me when we leave the bus
(Chorus)

Hey There Amigo
Hey there Amigo I need some time alone
so walk away I'll call you on the telephone
Look there Amigo there's a little girl shedding tears
Go tell her all the words she hopes to hear
When I see that little girl smile again
when Amigo's love and help are on the way
When I see that she can see again
that the love she found is here to stay
Hey Amigo how can she end the hatred?
People killed her father in the war of man
Hey Amigo her mother ran away from home
she's gone now and no one understands
When she was in the foster home they kicked her out
she was never going to go to school
now she lives at the bench at the main street
and the life she lives is horrible and cruel

Melodies
You gave me a dream to see the other side
your words found their way through every crack
I wanted to run in circles
I wanted to stop time
with melodies that leave traces of their tracks
(Chorus)
And sometimes I still wonder
"Who'll Stop The Rain?"
But my pockets are empty and the answer is made of gold.
Another one night stand
to fill this heart with pain
and no one knows to whom this/my heart is sold.
My group sings for dimes
on the streetcorners made of ashes
and their lips flash sounds of secrets in the cold
and we wander through the winter
in this city full of shivers
searching from street to street to find our pot of gold.

Turn
(Chorus)
I think it's my turn to turn around
I think it's my turn to get away
I never know when I'm bound
I never know when I'll stay
Find your friend and settle down
someone just like you
say a prayer there's someone out there somewhere
(Chorus)
Everyone taken for granted
like the stars and the sun
I'm still waiting this night out
I'm still one
(Chorus)
Some people are good at giving
some people are good at taking
(Chorus)

Never Quite At Home

Never Quite At Home
I don't know how you could look at me
'cause I don't look good and talk is looking cheap
and I can't forget as much as I would like
and I'm tired of being uptight
and I'm never quite at home
I'm never quite at home
Nobody's been around me all day long
They shake their little heads and look at me all wrong
So I'm sorry If I live in what if land
What if they would understand
that I'm never quite at home
I'm never quite at home
(Bridge)
I know I'm that I'm not too good with her
I know I'm not good at all
friends will never understand
the reason I don't call
'cause I'm never quite at home

It's Better Being Mean Than Being Blue
This is your heart
try to be calm
I'll try my best to not do it harm
but it's nothing that I haven't seen before
You've got my picture
I've got yours
Thinking I'll never search anymore
but it's nothing that I haven't seen before
(chorus) If you love me
you'll find
I might meet the next in line
some other fool who has fallen for me too
she'll be long, tall, and lame
and I might die in shame
but it's better being mean than being blue.
I'm believing I won't turn away
But I can't promise, I only pray
No one out there will take the place of you.
Life is sad
there's good and bad
I think of all the fun that I've had
Living on the town and pitching woo.
(chorus)

The Day I Ran
I found a woman on the land
she was looking for a ride
and she held me by her side
looking like a bride
the day I ran.
She came on too fast
I knew that it wouldn't last
she told me about her troubled past
so bad I wished I'd never asked
the day I ran.
She put on a country record
and she sat down and she cried
I told her as she got fried
it was wearing on my pride
the day I ran.
(chorus)
She said, "hey, don't waste your time
out of sight and out of mind
didn't mean to be unkind
the day I ran."
I said, "hey, don't waste your time
out of sight and out of mind
didn't mean to be unkind
the day I ran."
I wish I never fell
for poor little Isabel
Isabel said, "Well, well, well
I hope you go through hell."
The day I ran.
I said, "I'm sorry." without a heart
then she tore her room apart
she said that it wasn't smart
to say that we'd never part
the day I ran.
(chorus)
