Pariah

Recommended Posts

The gold verandah in the dark has gone
Down to the metal man
No better time to leave the ground
And maybe try to understand.
 
You got to hold on to somethin' that you believe
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright
 
And through the darkest times of your life
You always tried to be the one
And now the times have made you wonder
If you ever knew what was goin' on
 
You got to hold on to somethin' that you believe
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright
 
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
 
It's no use thinkin' about what you ain't got
Just makes you bitter
And as you speak, everything that you say
Goes out on the big transmitter
 
You got to hold on to somethin' that you believe
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright
 
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
 
You got to hold on to somethin' that you believe
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright
 
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was
I love you and I'm not afraid

 

Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms

 

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

 

I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree

(Come find me)

 

I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears.

 

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

 

Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here,
But still you wake and know the truth -
No one's there.

 

Say goodnight, don't be afraid
Calling me, calling me, as you fade to black.

 

Holding my last breath
(Don't be afraid)

Safe inside myself
(Holding me)

Are all my thoughts of you?
Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

 

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you?
Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

 

Holding my last breath

There's a silence here between us
I've never heard before
And I can't find the love
In her eyes anymore
There's some changes going on
I'm beginning to understand
When I'm holding her
I swear I feel

The presence of another man

 

There's a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can't see
Stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away from me

 

She sits staring out the window
A million miles away
And when I ask if she's all right
She never has too much to say
Is it somebody we both know
Or somebody she just met
Is she loving him in her mind
While she's lying here in my bed

 

There's a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can't see
Stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away from me

 

Suspicions lead to questions
And questions to alibis
Is it just my imagination
Or has her love turned into lies?

 

There's a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can't see
Stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away

 

There's a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can't see
(Stranger in my house)
Somebody here trying to take her away
(A stranger in my house)
Somebody here trying to take her away from me
(A stranger in my house)

Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long

 

Looking back, I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell?
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know I know him well


Wasn't it good?

(Oh, so good)
Wasn't he fine?

(Oh, so fine)
Isn't it madness

He can't be mine?

But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me
More security

(He needs his fantasy and freedom)

I know him so well

 

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide


Looking back, I could have played it differently

(Looking back, I could have played it some other way)

Learned about the man before I fell

(I was just a little careless, maybe)

But I was ever so much younger then

(I was so much younger then)

Now at least I know I know him well


Wasn't it good?

(Oh so good.)
Wasn't he fine?

(Oh, so fine.)
Isn't it madness

He won't be mine?
Didn't I know
How it would go?
If I knew from the start
Why am I falling apart?

 

Wasn't it good?
Wasn't he fine?

(Isn't it madness?)

He won't be mine?

But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me
More security

(He needs his fantasy and freedom)

I know him so well

(It took time to understand him)

I know him so well

Growing up on Cinnamon Street
Everywhere you look there are lots of people to meet
It's seven o'clock, the breakfast treat
Now the school bus is here, hurry up and grab a seat

 

All the dreams are tiny ones
Another week has just begun
On Cinnamon street

There was a girl on Cinnamon Street
The same age as me, we shared the curiosity
I won her heart, 'cos I could play guitar
Well I promised her Heaven at once and later all the stars

But it all remained the same
'Cos things can never change

 

On Cinnamon street

I can hear my heartbeat
The very first time we made love
Life was a lazy rest in the sun

 

Later we went dancin'
Stayin' up all night long
Playing all our favourite songs
Cinnamon songs

I say goodbye to Cinnamon Street
Spring time is here and the air is so dry and sweet
I walk in a cloud, the smell of cinnamon bread
It's in my blood since the day I was born til' I wake up dead

 

And the sun is smiling gently

A funny shade of red

 

Cinnamon street
I still feel my heartbeat
The very first time we made love
Life was a lazy day in the sun ohh oh

Later we went dancin'
Hangin' out all night long
Singin' all our favourite songs
Cinnamon songs

I still dream of Orgonon.
I wake up crying.
You're making rain,
And you're just in reach,
When you and sleep escape me.

You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark.
What made it special
Made it dangerous,
So I bury it
And forget.

But every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out--
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.
You looked too small
In their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.

I hid my yo-yo
In the garden.
I can't hide you
From the government.
Oh, God, Daddy--
I won't forget,

'Cause every time it rains,
You're here in my head,
Like the sun coming out--
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I don't know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

The sun's coming out.
Your son's coming out.

"It's in the trees !
It's coming !"

When I was a child:
Running in the night,
Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark,
Hiding in the street,
And of what was following me...

Now hounds of love are hunting.
I've always been a coward,
And I don't know what's good for me.

Here I go !
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, someone !
Help me, please !

Take my shoes off,
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I found a fox
Caught by dogs.
He let me take him in my hands.

His little heart,
It beats so fast,
And I'm ashamed of running away

From nothing real--
I just can't deal with this,
But I'm still afraid to be there,

Among your hounds of love,
And feel your arms surround me.
I've always been a coward,
And never know what's good for me.

Oh, here I go !
Don't let me go !
Hold me down !
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, darling,
Help me, please !

Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I don't know what's good for me.
I don't know what's good for me.
I need your love love love love love, yeah !
Your love !

Take your shoes off
And throw them in the lake !

Do you know what I really need ?
Do you know what I really need ?
I need love love love love love, yeah !

Well, you took me for a ride
You beat me to the gun
And from the other side
Well, you came undone

 

But when you tell me to
I want to give in
Just like you want me to
Oh oh, I'm falling through

 

Oh, you better strap me in
All night long
You got to strap me in
All night long
Got to strap me in
All night long
All, all, all night long

 

Well, you took me by the way
And you showed me what is fun
Just like a ricochet
Uh, back you come

 

And when you tell me to
I want to give it
Just like you want me to
Oh oh, I'm falling through

 

Oh, you better strap me in
All night long
You better strap me in
All night long
You better strap me in
All night long
All, all, all night long
Oh baby

 

Well, you took me for a ride
Uh, you beat me to the gun
And from the other side
Oh well, you came undone (ooh)

 

And when you tell me to
I want to give in (ooh)
Just like you want me to
Oh oh, I'm falling through

 

Oh, better strap me in

All night long
You better strap me in
All night long
Strap me in
All night long
All, all
Well, you better strap me in (strap me in)

I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Rain drops falling from heaven
Could never wash away my misery
But since we're not together
I look for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Some day when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then darling you'll
Never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

We've both been sound asleep
Wake up little Susie and weep
The movie's over, it's four o'clock
And we're in trouble deep

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, what are we gonna tell your Mama
What are we gonna tell your Pa ?
What are we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la! "

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, I told your Mama that you'd be in by ten
Well, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
We gotta go home

Wake up, little Susie, wake up
Wake up, little Susie, wake up

The movie wasn't so hot
It didn't have much of a plot
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked
Our reputation is shot

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Well, what are we gonna tell your Ma-ma
What are we gonna tell your Pa ?
What are we gonna tell our friends
When they say, "Ooh la la !"

Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie
Wake up, little Susie

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is
Gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so, that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

I can make you mine
Taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is
Gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so, that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you
All I have to do is dream

Dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream

Never felt like this until I kissed ya
How did I exist until I kissed ya
Never had you on my mind
Now you're there all the time
Never knew what I missed 'til I kissed ya
Uh-huh I kissed ya, oh yeah
Things have really changed since I kissed ya, uh-huh
My life's not the same now that I kissed ya, oh yeah

Mmm, you got a way about ya
Now I can't live without ya
Never knew what I missed 'til I kissed ya
Uh-huh, I kissed ya, oh yeah

You don't realize what you do to me
And I didn't realize what a kiss could be

Mmm, you got a way about ya
Now I can't live without ya
Never knew what I missed 'til I kissed ya
Uh-huh, I kissed ya, oh yeah

You don't realize what you do to me
And I didn't realize what a kiss could be

Mmm, you got a way about ya
Now I can't live without ya
Never knew what I missed 'til I kissed ya
Uh-huh, I kissed ya, oh yeah

I kissed ya, uh-huh
I kissed ya, oh yeah
I kissed ya...

I've been made blue,
I've been lied to,
When will I be loved ?

I’ve been turned down
I’ve been pushed round’.
When will I be loved ?

When I meet a new girl,
that I want for mine.
She always breaks my heart in two,
it happens every time.

I've been cheated,
been mistreated.
When will I be loved ?

When I meet a new girl,

When will I be loved ?

I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothin' seems to be the same old way

Think about the love that burns within my heart for you
The good times we had before you went away from me
Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don't send it
I'm so lonesome every day

I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothin' seems to be the same old way

Feelin' better now that we're through
Feelin' better, 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really are

 

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good

 

I'm gonna say it again
You're no good
You're no good
You're no good

Baby, you're no good

 

I broke a heart that's gentle and true
Well, I broke a heart over someone like you
I'll beg his forgiveness on bended knee
I wouldn't blame him if he said to me

 

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good

 

I'm gonna say it again

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good

 

I'm tellin' you now, baby
And I'm going my way
Forget about you, baby
'Cause I'm leavin' to stay

 

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good

 

I'm gonna say it again

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good
Oh, oh, no

 

You're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby, you're no good

Wine is sweet and gin is bitter
Drink all you can, but you won't forget her
You talk too much, you laugh too loud
You see her face in every crowd

That's the price of love,
The price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love
The price of love
Can cost you more when you're to blame

Kiss one girl, kiss another
Kiss them all, but you won't recover
You're dancing slow, you're dancing fast
You're happy now, but that won't last

That's the price of love
The price of love
The debt you pay with tears and pain
The price of love
The price of love
Costs you more when you're to blame

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring

 

When I was young my heart was young then, too
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win

 

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you

 

The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay
So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

 

Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would fly away with you
Yeah, if I could you know that I would fly away with you

Born free
As free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart

Live free
And beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star

Stay free
Where no walls divide you
You're free as a roaring tide so there's no need to hide

Born free
And life is worth living
But only worth living
Cos you're born free

Stay free
Where no walls divide you
You're free as a roaring tide so there's no need to hide

Born free
And life is worth living
But only worth living
Cos you're born free

She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night

 

Well, she moved down here at the age of eighteen
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you, baby, but I got to keep movin' on, keep movin' on"

 

Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

 

Well, I don't know but I've been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I'm tired of screwing up, tired of goin' down
Tired of myself, tired of this town

 

Oh, my, my, oh, hell yes
Honey, put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long

 

Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

 

There's pigeons down on Market Square
She's standin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room
The nightfall will be comin' soon

 

Oh, my, my, oh, hell yes
You've got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit the last number, I walked to the road

 

Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

Get your head down to the ground
Shake it all around -- a dirty sound
Put your knees into your face
And see if you can race -- real slow
It's a slowdive -- when you die slow
Oh it's a low jive -- do the slowdive

Now you jump back like a hound
Emit a howling sound
Dig those limbs into the floor
And holler out for more

And you revel in the dips
When your backbone slips
Taking honeysuckle sips
From your rolling hips
It shifts and it shifts
It's a slowdive -- when you die slow
When you come alive it's a low jive
Do the slowdive

I'll remember it
And Dublin in a rainstorm
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm
I'll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything we could possibly do was right
Then we moved stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Tell me when did the light die
You will rise
You'll return
The Phoenix from the flame
You will learn
You will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy
For you to burn

And I never meant to hurt you
I swear I didn't mean those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh, does she love you?
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her?
Is she good for you?
Does she hold you like I do?

Do you want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me that you love me
Just sometimes I wonder if I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you, I'll die
But I will rise
And I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I have learned
I will rise
And you'll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy
For me to burn

And you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried and you'd never have known
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No, I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed, "No, I can't let you go"
If the door wasn't closed
No, I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No, I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you if we hadn't been there in the first place
Oh, but I know you wanted me to be there, oh, oh, oh
Every look that you threw told me so
But you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on

And the flames burned away
But you're still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
You're still a liar

You're a child of sweet sixteen
Never made the big town scene
Always loved to stay at home
Never made it on your own

I see your picture
What do I see ?
The face of an angel
Staring at me, staring at me

Angel face, angel face
You've got the cutest angel face
Angel face, angel face
I'm gonna make you my angel face

You don't know just what I mean
You should be a beauty queen
Got to get you ready fast
Who knows how long your looks will last

Look in the mirror
Believe that it's true
The face of an angel
Is looking at you, looking at you

Angel face, angel face
You've got the cutest angel face
Angel face, angel face
I'm gonna make you my angel face

Angel face

Angel face, angel face
You've got the cutest angel face
Angel face, angel face
I'm gonna make you my angel face

Angel face, angel face
You've got the cutest angel face...

Let's get together again
All you need is here to stay
Let's get together again
Forget about your yesterdays
Let's get together again
All you need is here to stay

Let's get together again
Forget about your yesterdays

It's been a very long, long, time since I last remember seeing you
I hope you'll write and say you're fine; did you ever sit and dream
Of a time when we could meet again ?
It's very hard now you're not mine
The phone's right next to you, and you know just what to do

Just pick it up and call my name
Let's get together again
All you need is here to stay

Tomorrow's just a step away till I come running back to you
I hope you'll stay here by my side; I thought I'd never see
My angel back here next to me. Promise me that you won't hide
The phone's right next to you, and you know just what to do

Let's get together again
All you need is here to stay

And you know there ain't much time; I'm so alone, please come home
I'm on my own; let's get together again
All you need is here to stay

Just for you, you, you
Just for you, you, you
Just for you, you, you
Just for you, you, you

Every little thing I do
You know I do it just for you
I got no money, no place to live
But all I got you know I'd give

I was thinking of you
When I wrote this song
Now that I have found you
Please stay here where you belong

Just for you (Just for you)
Just for you (Just for you)

Had to keep it
Had to save it
Had to give it to you
(Just for you, just for you)

Just for you (Just for you)
Just for you (Just for you)

I had to keep it
Had to save it
Had to give it to you
(Just for you, just for you)

You, you, you
Just for you, you, you
Just for you, you, you
Just for you, you, you

When you're lonely, when you're sad
Think of all the fun we had
I know that I ain't made it yet
When I do all I've got you'll get

I am dreaming of you
While I play this song
Now that I have found you
Please stay here where you belong

Just for you (Just for you)
Just for you (Just for you)

I had to keep it
Had to save it
Had to give it to you
(Just for you, just for you)

Just for you (Just for you)
Just for you (Just for you)

I had to keep it
Had to save it
Had to give it to you
(Just for you, just for you)

You know I made it all for you (You, you, you, just for you)
You know I give it just for you (Just for you, you, you)
All I got is just for you (Just for you, you, you)
It's all for you (Just for you, you, you)
