Pariah

Recommended Posts

There's a man working in a field
Sees the rain and it's burning
He's saying this can't be real
As he sees the color
Of the fields turning

Far away, the men too busy
Getting rich to care
Close their eyes and
Let it all out into the air
Hoping nobody else would care

Look out any window
Look out any open door
Look out any window
To see what's going on
In the air around you

There's a man working on a boat
Pulling lines from the water
Just trying to stay afloat, ohh
Filling the nets is getting harder

Far away, they bend
The rules so secretly
Close their eyes and
Let it all out into the sea
Hoping nobody else would see

Look out any window
Look out any open door
Look out any window
To see what's going on
In the air around you

Far away, too many leaders
Let them get their way
Close their eyes and
Let it all out into the bay
Say they'll clear it up another day

Look out any window
Look out any open door
Look out any window
To see that's going on
In the air around you

(Look out)
Look out for the big boys
Telling you everything
They're gonna do

(Look out)
Look out for the fat cat builder man
Turning this into a waste land

(Look out)
Look out for the back room boys
That say the smoke is gonna blow away

(Look out)
Look out for the men
Who say it's okay sitting
In a building far away

Well I seem him every morning in the schoolyard
When the schoolbell rings
And when he passes in the hallway
Well he doesn't seem to notice me
He's got a crush on my best friend
But she don't care, 'cause she loves someone else
I'm standing on the outside, not the inside where I wanna be

Love's unkind, love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkind
'cause he's not mine

Just the other day I was praying that he would give me a chance
Hoping he would choose me for his partner
For the high school dance
I was standing outside the class
But it wasn't me, but my best friend, he asked
I went running back inside teary-eyed
And left the two of them behind

Love's unkind, love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkind
'cause he's not mine

Oh, how I love him, but I can't even let him know
'cause he loves my best friend
But she don't care, she loves someone else
And I asked my mama, and she said: love's unkind
Love's so unkind
She said: just keep it alive
'cause you may find love's unkind

Love's unkind, love's unkind
Love's unkind, love's unkind

Oh, Why did I have to love him so
Why did I have to love him so

Shake shake your body down

Skae your bod down

Everybody - all you people gather round
And get your body busy - move it up and groove it down

You got that hungry feelin' for some love and it's alright

Used it up - wear it out

Ain't nothin' left in this whole world I care about

When you're sitting on your own
And you feel the city life surround you
And she's always on the phone
But you just don't think that you can fight it

 

Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up
(Don't give up)
Don't give up, don't give up, darling, what you dream

 

'Cause like the words here in this song
We'll go on and on and on with our love

 

(I wanna be)
Inside out, oh, darling
I want it to be so deep that you'll be turning me
(Inside out)
I want it to be so deep you'll be needing me

 

When you're lying in her bed
And you're in her arms instead of my love
As you feel her tightening grip
Like a genie I will slip from your heart

 

I won't give up, won't give up, won't give up
(Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up)
Oh, don't give up, darling, what you dream

 

Like the notes here in this song
We'll go on and on and on and on with our love

 

(I wanna be)
Inside out, oh, darling
Oh, I wanna be so deep that you'll be needing me
(Inside out)
Over and over again

 

(I wanna be)
Inside out, oh, darling
Oh, I've got to be so deep that you'll be turning me
Turning me, turning me
(Inside out)
Over and over again

 

(Inside out)
You and I must stay
(Inside out)
Can't believe this way
(Inside out)
You and I must stay
(Inside out)

 

'Cause I've got to have you, babe

 

When you're sitting on your own
And you feel the city life surround you
And she's always on that phone
And you just don't think that you got the strength to fight it

 

Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up
(Don't give up)
Don't give up, don't give up, darling, what you dream

 

'Cause like the words here in this song
We'll go on and on and on with our love

 

(I wanna be)
Inside out, oh, darling
I want it to be so deep that you'll be needing me
(Inside out)
Oh, darling
Oh, I want it to be so deep you'll be turning me, turning me
(Inside out)

 

Inside out, inside out, oh, darling
Oh, I wanna be so deep that you'll be needing me

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version - Coca-Cola:]
C O L A cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
L O L A Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walk like a woman but talk like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said little boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said little boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out.
Cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground.
Cocaine.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie;
Cocaine.

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues.
Cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run.
Cocaine.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie;
Cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on.
Cocaine.
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back.
Cocaine.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie;
Cocaine.

 

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie;
Cocaine.

There's trouble on the street tonight
I can feel it in my bones
I had a premonition that
He should not go alone

I knew the gun was loaded
But I didn`t think he`d kill
Everything exploded
And the blood began to spill

So, baby
Here's your ticket
Put the suitcase in your hand
Here's a little money now

Do it just the way we planned
You be cool for twenty hours
And I`ll pay you twenty grand

I`m sorry it went down like this
Someone had to lose
It`s the nature of the business
It`s the smuggler's blues
Smuggler's blues

The sailors and the pilots
The soldiers and the law
The payoffs and the ripoffs
And the things nobody saw

No matter if it's heroin
Cocaine or hash
You`ve got to carry weapons
Cause you always carry cash

Thre`s lots of shady characters
Lots of dirty deals
Every name's an alias
In case somebody squeals

It's the lure of easy money
It's gotta very strong appeal
Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standing in my shoes

It's the ultimate enticement
It's the smuggler`s blues
Smuggler`s blues

See it in the headlines
You hear it every day
They say they`re gonna stop it
But it doesn`t go away

They move it through Miami
Sell it in L.A
They hide it up in Telluride
I mean it`s here to stay

It's propping up the governments
Of Columbia and Peru
You ask any DEA man
He`ll say there`s nothing we can do

From the office of the President
Right down
To me and you
Me and you

It`s a losing proposition
But one you can`t refuse
It`s the politics of contraband
It`s the smuggler's blues
Smuggler's blues

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you before it's too late

It all became so lovely
Those bluest skies above me
Those funny feelings I had never felt before I met you


I thought I'd stay a while
I tried to learn to smile
So many colors I had never even known

 

Maybe I'll find myself sitting on that distant shore
Maybe I'm not alone

 

Then I see the colors fading
Gentleness of light escaping
Shadows of my fear invading, have I seen this all before?


I know that there's something residing
A terror deep inside me
I couldn't understand how you could be so bold

 

Maybe I'll find myself smiling on that distant shore
Maybe I'm not alone

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high ?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high ?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high ?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova

'Cause people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high ?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high ?

Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova

'Cause people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why
Why, why, why, why

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high ?
We were getting high

You better love lovin' and you better behave
You better love lovin' and you better behave
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Calls her man the Great White Hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Woman in Chains
Woman in Chains

Well I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal
(A poor man's deal)
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
(Your eyes of steel)
Well, it's a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains, woah
Woman in chains
Woman in chains

Trades her soul as skin and bones
(You better love lovin' and you better behave)
Sells the only thing she owns
(You better love lovin' and you better behave)
Woman in Chains
(The sun and the moon)
Woman in Chains

Men of Stone
Men of Stone

Well I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
(That time can't heal)
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains

It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart but I won't understand
I will not accept the Greatness of Man

It's a world gone crazy
Keeps Woman in Chains
(Gone crazy, keeps woman in chains)

So Free Her
So Free Her
So Free Her
So Free Her
So Free Her
(The sun and the moon)
So Free Her
(The wind and the rain)
So Free Her
So Free Her
So Free Her
So Free Her
So Free Her
So Free Her
So Free Her
(The Sun and the moon)
So Free Her
(The wind and the rain)
So Free Her...

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 want to 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 ? 
(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 
You're all the same 
You're all the same 
You're all the same 
You're all the same 
You're all the same 
You're all the same 
You're all the same 

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 ? 
(Don't give me love) 
No, no, no, no, not love she said

No, no, no, no, no, not love she said 
Don't you know that it's different for girls ? 
You're all the same 
You're all the same 
You're all the same 
You're all the same

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I can cast a spell
With secrets you can't tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
But anytime you feel
Danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, 'cause

 

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z


I can sense your needs
Like rain on to the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down
To some good old fashioned love
That's what I've got plenty of, 'cause

 

I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done, baby
I'll do it naturally
I'm every woman, it's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z


I ain't braggin' 'cause I'm the one
You just ask me ooh and it shall be done
And don't bother to compare
'Cause I've got it
I've got it, I've got it, yeah

I'm every woman

Well you can tell everyone I'm a down disgrace
Drag my name all over the place
I don't care anymore
You can tell everybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cause I just can't win
I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore

I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play

'Cause I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end
They don't care anymore
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind
I don't care anymore, I don't care no more

I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway

I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore

Well, I don't care now what you say
'Cause every day I'm feeling fine with myself
And I don't care now what you say
Hey, I'll do alright by myself
'Cause I know

'Cause I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cause you held all the cards
I don't care anymore

And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cause all I want of you is just a let me be
I don't care anymore, d'you hear? I don't care no more

I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway

I won't be there no more
So get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
D'you hear? I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
You listening? I don't care no more
No more!

You know I don't care anymore!
Don't care no more! No more, no more, no more
Don't care, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more

I took her out. It was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out, and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD ?

My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again ?
What's my age again ?

Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a pay phone
I said I was the cops, and your husband's in jail
This state looks down on sodomy

And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is Call ID ?

My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again ?
What's my age again ?

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And you still act like you're in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me ?

My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again ?
What's my age again ?

That's about the time that she broke up with me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me ?
I never wanna act my age
What's my age again ?
What's my age again ?

What's my age again ?

All the small things
True care, truth brings
I'll take one lift
Your ride best trip

Always I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting, commiserating

Say it ain't so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

Na, na...

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs,
Surprises, let me know she cares

Say it ain't so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

Na, na...

Say it ain't so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

Keep your head still,
I'll be your thrill,
The night will go on,
My little windmill

Say it ain't so,
I will not go,
Turn the lights off,
Carry me home

Keep your head still,
I'll be your thrill,
The night will go on,
The night will go on,
My little windmill

So many nights
I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone
To sing me his song
So many dreams
I've kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark
But now you've come along

And you
Light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights
With song

Rolling at sea
Adrift on the waters
Could it be finally
I'm turning for home ?
Finally, a chance
To say, "Hey, I love you"
Never again
To be all alone

And you
Light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights
With song

And you
Light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights
With song

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause you
You light up my life

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much ?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

We're tiny,
we're toony
We're all a little looney
And in this cartoony
We're invading your TV

We're comic dispensers
We crack up all the censors
On Tiny Toon Adventures
Get a dose of comedy

So here's Acme Acres
It's a whole wide world apart
Our home sweet home, it stands alone
A cartoon work of art

The scripts were rejected
Expect the unexpected
On Tiny Toon Adventures
it's about to start

They're furry,
they're funny
They're Babs and Buster Bunny
Montana Max has money
Elmyra is a pain

Here's Hamton and Plucky
Dizzy Devil's yucky
Furrball's unlucky
and Go-Go is insane

At Acme Looniversity
We earn our toon degree
The teaching staff's
Been getting laughs since 1933

We're tiny, we're toony
We're all a little looney
It's Tiny Toon Adventures
Come and join the fun.

And now our song is done!

Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand.
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned.
Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land ?
If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation.
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication.
Don't you get me wrong.
I only want to know.

 

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed ?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are ?

 

Tell me what you think about your friends at the top.
Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop ?
Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are ?
Could Mohammed move a mountain, or was that just PR ?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or
Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker ?
Don't you get me wrong.
I only want to know.

 

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed ?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are ?

I don't know how to love him,
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes, really changed.
In these past few days when I've seen myself
I seem like someone else.

I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man, he's just a man.
And I've had so many men before
In very many ways:
He's just one more

Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout ?
Should I speak of love - let my feelings out ?
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about ?

Don't you think it's rather funny
I should be in this position?
I'm the one who's always been
So calm, so cool, no lover's fool
Running every show
He scares me so.

I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about

Yet, if he said he loved me
I'd be lost, I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.
I'd turn my head, I'd back away,
I wouldn't want to know -
He scares me so.
I want him so.
I love him so.

On Sundays the bulls get so bored
When they are asked to show off for us
There is the sun, the sand, and the arena
There are the bulls ready to bleed for us
It's the time when grocery clerks become Don Juan
It's the time when all ugly girls
Turn into swans, aaahh.
Who can say of what he's found
That bull who turns and paws the ground
And suddenly he s ees himself all nude, aaahh.
Who can say of what he dreams
That bull who hears the silent screams
From the open mouths of multitudes
Ole!


On Sundays the bulls get so bored
When they are asked to suffer for us
There are the picadors and the mobs revenge
There are the toreros, and the mob kneels for us
It's the time when grocery clerks become Garc?a Lorca
And the girls put roses in their teeth like Carmen


On Sundays the bulls get so bored
When they are asked to drop dead for us
The sword will plunge down and the mob will drool
The blood will pour down and turn the sand to mud.
Ol?, ol?!
The moment of triumph when grocery clerks become Nero
The moment of triumph when the girls scream and shout
The name of their hero, aaahh.
And when finally they fell
Did not the bulls dream of some hell
Where men and worn-out matadors still burn, aaahh.
Or perhaps with their last breaths
Would not they pardon us their deaths
Knowing w hat we did at
Carthage--ole!--Waterloo--ole!--Verdun--ole!
Stalingrad--ole!--Iwo Jima--ole!--Hiroshima--ole!--Aleppo!
