"She had a sulky smile,
She took a standard pose as she presented herself,
She had sultry eyes she made it perfectly clear that
She was his for a price,

But he said leave me alone, I'm a family man,
And my bark is much worse than my bite,
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man,
If you push me too hard I just might...

She wore hurt surprise,
As she re-checked her makeup to protect herself,
She showed less than pride,
She made it totally clear that she was his for a price,

But he said leave me alone, I'm a family man,
And my bark is much worse than my bite!
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man,
If you push me too hard I just might...

She gave him her look,
That would have worked on any other man in sight,
He could not mistake,
She wanted to go back with him and spend the night,

But he said leave me alone, I'm a family man!
And my bark is much worse than my bite!
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man,
If you push me too hard I just might...

She turned, tossed her head and then
She started to make her final exit line,
She showed real disdain as if explaining again
She could be his for a price,

But he said leave me alone, I'm a family man!
And my bark is much worse than my bite!
He said leave me alone, I'm a family man!
If you push me too hard I just might!"

I'm wondering the streets,
in a world underneath it all,
Nothing seems to be,
nothing tastes as sweet,
As what I can't have,
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair
round your finger,
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you,
What I feel about you.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have,
and cannon ball into the water,
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have,
For you I will,
For you I will.

Forgive me if I stutter,
From all of the clutter in my head,
Cuz I could fall asleep in those eyes,
Like a water bed,
Do I seem familiar,
I've crossed you in hallways,
a thousand times,
no more camouflage,
I want to be exposed,
and not be afraid to fall.

I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have,
And cannon ball into the water,
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have,
For you I will,
You always want what you can't have,
But I've got to try,
I'm muster every ounce of confidence I have,
For you I will,
For you I will,
For you I will,

If I could dim the lights in the mall,
And create a mood I would,
Shout out your name so it echos in every room,
I would.

That's what I'd do,
That's what I'd do,
That's what I'd do,
to get through to you.

For you I will.
For you I will.
For you I will.
For you I will.




[TEDDY GEIGER]

"Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will... "

"Many prophets preach on bended knee,
Many clerics wasted wine,
Do the bloodied sheets,
On those cobbled streets,
Mean I have wasted time.

Are there silver shores on paradise?
Can I come in from the cold?
I killed a man in a far away land,
My enemy I'm told.

I really want you to really want me,
But I really don't know if you can do that,
I know you want to know I tried,
But I know it's so hard for you to do that,
And time's running out as often it does,
And often dictates if you can't do that,
Fate can't break this feeling inside,
That's burning up through my veins.

I really want you,
I really want you,
I really want you now.

No matter what I say or do,
The message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound,
Of my breaking heart.

I really want you,
I really want you.

Is a poor man rich in solitude?
Or will mother earth complain,
Did the beggar pray for a sunny day but,
Lady luck for rain.

They say a million people bow and scrape,
To an effigy of gold,
As so life begin,
And the ship we're in,
And history unfold.


I really want you to really want me,
But I really don't know if you can do that (I really want you)
I know you want to know what's right,
But I know it's so hard for you to do that (I really want you)
And time's running out as often it does,
And often dictates that you can't do that,
Fate can't break this feeling inside (now)
That's burning up through my veins.

I really want you,
I really want you,
I really want you now.

No matter what I say or do,
The message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound,
Of my breaking heart,
No matter what I say or do,
The message isn't getting through,
And you're listening to the sound,
Of my breaking heart."

**********
Just can't get enough of it...

"Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.

And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice.
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.

And maybe someday we will meet, and maybe talk and not just speak.
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go."



**************************************************

"Is it a warning? Is it an evil sign?
Is it a people who have lost their mind?
Is it the Darkness? Is it a man resigned?
Is it a best friend leavng you behind?
Is it ever gonna stop? Will they let you go?
You're in a rush, they don't care enough 'cause their lives are very slow.
Time is ticking on, You don't get a second shot,
And when you sell your soul for a leading role, will The Lost Souls be forgot?

And if I can't hear the music and the audience is gone,
I'll dance here on my own.
And I hope the Lonely Heart's Club Band will play out one last song,
Before the sun goes down.

And is it envy? Should it really make you sick?
Is now the time that you realise you'd better get out quick?
'Cause time is ticking on too long to fake your smile,
But then you sold your soul for a leading role, so wear it for a while."
