  Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)

  Take a girl like that
  And put her in a natural setting
  Like a cafe for example.
  Along comes the boy
  And he’s looking for trouble
  With a girl like that
  With a girl like that.
  Who knows what they’ll decide to do.
  Who knows what they’ll get up to.
  I’d love to know.
  Wouldn’t you?

  I love to listen to Beethoven…

  You think you know just what you want
  But you have used that weapon against me.
  Did I tell you I was lying by the way
  When I said I wanted a new mink coat.
  I was just thinking about
  Something sleek
  To wrap around my tender throat
  I was dreaming like a Texan girl
  A girl who thinks she’s got the right to everything.
  A girl who thinks she should have
  Something extreme.

  I love to listen to Beethoven…

  I've Got A Lover (Back In Japan)

  I’ve got a lover back in Japan
  He’s got tatooes
  He’s my Superman
  I try to call him up from time to time
  We can talk about the weather
  Is the weather fine?

  And I say break, break
  Break away those ties
  Break, break.

  I’ve got a lover
  Up in outer space
  He’s been tumbling around
  All over the place
  I like to call him from time to time
  We can talk about heaven…

  Break, break
  Break away those ties
  Break, break…

  When the whole world descends on me
  I’ll be waiting for you…

  Got another lover in Timbuktu
  Got a name for him
  He’s my little guru.
  When I don’t call him he starts to cry
  I have to tell him stories just to pacify.

  Break, break…

  When the whole world descends on me
  I’ll be waiting for you…

  I was bitter when I met you
  I was eloquent with rage
  Like honey from a poisoned cup
  I flowed from stage to stage.
  (Ooh… sugar baby… sing me a lullaby.)
  Japanese baby…

  Do You Want To Break Up?

  Yea… oh yea… yea…
  Do you want to break-up?

  I’ve got a heavy heart
  Got heart filled full of lead.
  Pocket full of heartache
  (Car crash in my head).
  I’ve got a steady hand
  Gonna lead me to my home.
  Take me up to heaven
  (Heaven’s where I’m goin’)…

  Yea… oh yea… yea…
  Do you want to break-up?

  I’ve seen trouble
  I looked right up to its face
  Never tried to turn away.
  And I’ve been sad
  I’ve been overjoyed
  So let me disembrace you now
  My little trouble boy…

  Yea… oh yea… yea…
  Do you want to break-up?

  You took me to the ocean
  Dropped me like a stone.
  Took me to the deep blue ocean.
  I don’t wanna stay there baby
  I don’t wanna swim alone

  Yea… oh yea… yea…
  Do you want to break-up?

  You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart

  Take me to the desert
  Where there’s got to be
  A whole heap of nothing
  For you and me
  Take me to the desert
  Take me to the sand
  Show me the colour of your right hand.

  Love is a temple
  Love is a shrine
  Buy some love at the five and dime
  A little bit of love
  From the counter store
  Get it on credit if you need some more.
  I’ll be the figure of your disgrace
  A criss cross pattern upon your face
  A woman’s just too tired to think
  About the dirty old dishes in the kitchen sink.

  I wish I was invisible
  So I could climb through the telephone
  When it hurts my ear
  And it hurts my brain
  And it makes me feel too much
  Too much too much too much.
  Don’t cut me down
  When I’m talking to you
  ‘Cause I’m much too tall
  To feel that small.

  Love is a temple
  Love is a shrine
  Love is pure
  And love is blind
  Love is a religious sign
  I’m gonna leave this love behind.
  Love is hot and love is cold
  I’ve been bought and I’ve been sold
  Love is rock and love is roll
  I just want someone to hold.

  Shame

  Now there’s a lifestyle
  With painted lips
  Now there’s a lifestyle
  Everybody wants it
  But it don’t exist
  And I said shame…

  In the dancehalls and the cinema
  Shame
  On the TV and the media
  Shame
  We loved you

  Now there’s a lifestyle
  With fashion chic
  Now there’s a lifestyle
  Everybody in it wants
  To be elite
  And I said
  ‘You with yer brand new shoes and
  You with yer greasy hair and
  You with yer mother’s pride and poetry
  Don’t you want to feel the shame?”…

  In the dancehalls
  Can’t you feel the shame?
  And the TV
  Can’t you feel the shame?
  We loved you…
  Shame
  In the dancehalls and the cinema
  Shame
  On the TV and the media
  Shame
  We loved you
  At the Lido and the opera
  Shame
  At the races
  And the theatre
  Shame
  We loved you.
  And they said all we need is love
  All we need is love
  With the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
  Day after day
  Day after day.

  Savage

  Words of power are killing me
  While the sun displays its teeth.
  All mockery is laughing
  All violence is cheap.
  She said…
  “These are my guns
  These are my furs
  This is my living room.”
  “You can play with me there sometimes
  If you catch me in the mood.”
  Savage
  Savage
  Savage
  You savage…

  She said…
  “I have this unhappiness
  To wear around my neck.”
  “It’s a pretty piece of jewellery
  To show what I protect.”
  She said…
  “Everything is fiction
  All cynic to the bone.”
  “So don’t ask me to stay with you
  Don’t ask to see me home.”
  Savage
  Savage
  Savage
  You savage…

  I Need A Man

  I don’t care if you won’t
  Talk to me
  You know I’m not that kind of girl.
  And I don’t care if you won’t
  Walk with me
  It don’t give me such a thrill.
  And I don’t care about the way you look
  You should know I’m not impressed
  ‘Cause there’s just one thing
  That I’m looking for
  And he don’t wear a dress.

  I need a man…
  I need a man…

  Baby baby baby
  Don’t you shave your legs
  Don’t you double comb your hair
  Don’t powder puff
  Just leave it rough
  I like your fingers bare.
  When the night comes down
  I can turn it round
  I can take you anywhere.
  I don’t need love
  Forget that stuff
  You know that I don’t care

  I need a man…
  I need a man…

  I don’t need a heartbreaker
  Fifty-faced trouble maker
  Two timing time taker
  Dirty little money maker
  Muscle bound cheap skate
  Low down woman hater
  Triple crossing double dater
  Yella bellied alligator…

  I don’t care if you won’t
  Talk to me
  You know I’m not that kind of girl.
  And I don’t care if you won’t
  Walk with me
  It don’t give me such a thrill.
  And I don’t care about the way you look
  You should know I’m not impressed
  ‘Cause there’s just one thing
  That I’m looking for
  And he don’t wear a dress.

  Put The Blame On Me

  Take me to a dark room
  And hug me to bits
  I just wanna be kissed so badly
  Right there
  On my lips…

  Put the blame on me
  Put the blame on me

  Why did you close your eyes
  When I’m the one that’s blind?
  Why did you close your eyes?
  That was too unkind…

  Where are you tonight?
  Are you sleeping on your own?
  I need to know
  Where you are tonight?
  Are you sleeping on your very own?
  Tell the one that’s lying with you
  To get right up and go back home.

  Put the blame on me
  Put the blame on me…

  Heaven

  That’s right…
  That’s right…

  Heaven

  I love to

  Just what you need

  Heaven

  Takes a little time

  Wide Eyed Girl

  She was a wide eyed girl
  In a purple dress
  She could have been good
  She could have been the best
  Shy little girl
  When it came to the test
  Wow oh…
  She was a cut above the rest.
  She was a wide eyed girl
  With teased up hair
  She could have had money
  But she didn’t care
  She was looking for you daddy
  …Never there
  Looking for you daddy oh yea yea

  Wide eyed girl

  She was a wide eyed girl
  Of a tender age.
  Just moving out of her sensitive phase.
  She said
  “I love you baby it’s for always
  And I don’t care what the teacher says.”
  When she walked out
  Through the streets of Rome.
  All of the Italians wanna take her home
  All the brown little babies
  With the slicked back hair
  Sayin’ “Prima amore… wow!”

  “I’m sayin’ something
  Are ya listening to me?”
  “Don’t you walk away when I’m
  Communicating with you!”
  “She’s goin’ clickin’ clackin’
  Down the road in them high heeled shoes”!
  “Mona Lisa!!!”

  I Need You

  I need you to pin me down
  Just for one frosen moment.
  I need someone to pin me down
  So I can live in torment.
  I need you to really feel
  The twist of my back breaking
  I need someone to listen
  To the ecstacy I’m faking.
  I need you you you

  I need you to catch each breath
  That issues from my lips
  I need someone to crack my skull
  I need someone to kiss.
  So hold me now
  And make pretend
  That I won’t ever fall
  Oh hold me down
  I’m gonna be your baby doll

  I need you you you…
  Is it you I really need?
  I do I do I do
  I really do
  I need you…

  Brand New Day

  Six o’clock in the morning
  And I’m stepping through the streets
  The pavement’s cold and empty
  Got the blues beneath my feet.
  Big old sun is rising up
  So elegant and thin
  Another day is over
  So a new day will begin
  And the word said hey…
  It’s a brand new day

  Oh baby baby baby
  I dreamed about you
  Please tell me tell me tell me
  What I’ve seen could not be true
  You have taken my existance
  You have filled it full of stones
  You have turned into a stranger
  Now I need to walk alone

  But I won’t be sad
  But I won’t be destroyed…

  And the word said
  Hey… it’s a brand new day.
