So Tell Me Why (3:21)
I'd like to put to rest the rumours
I'd like to put to bed the lies
I'd like to throw away the past
And show you how I feel inside
I'll be your taxi and your driver
I'll be your road if you need
I'd like to push and push and push
Just to make you pleased
But your river of emotion for me
flows like a dried up stream
Chorus:
So tell me why
Your satisfaction's like a heart of stone
So tell me why
Your love reaction chills me to the bone
You make my blood boil hot
And my heart beat like a drum
I'd like to do to you girl
Things that ain't never been done
From the rain I'll be your shelter
From the cold I'll be your heat
I'll push and push and push
just to make you pleased
Chorus
So tell me your reason
for tearing me up inside
Girl you gotta tell me why
Solo
But your river of emotion for me
flows like a dried up stream
Chorus
Souls on Fire (3:18)
It takes two to tango
In the heat of the night
You're gonna give it in
No matter how you fight
Hot nights, pretty women
and a bottle of gin
Fine floozy sitting pretty
in the city of sin
I'm knocking on your back door
baby let me in
Chorus:
I'll take you down
light your fuse baby
Set your soul on fire
Make your body sweat
soaking wet
In the midnight hour
Step closer my seniorita
It's so nice to meet ya
I see your eyes say no
but your flesh is weak
Well sweet salt shaker
and rattle my bones
One more inch I'm gonna drive it home
Hate to see a pretty little woman all alone
Chorus
She said are you gonna nibble baby
Or are you gonna take yourself a bite
You invite me closer honey
And I just might
I don't want money or a big black car
I just wanna know how I'm doing so far
So far I'm gonna do you just right
Chorus
Only Time Will Tell (3:57)
I just needed someone to hold
When the bottle was empty
and the nights grew cold
In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
You were my angel of mercy
And helped me to believe
You touched my soul
When I was lonely
You held me up
when I couldn't fly
There's no words could explain
How I feel inside
And this I tell you
In a world full of anger
and times gone strange
You held me close
You held me close to you
Lay my head on your shoulder
I finally let it all out
It felt good for a moment
Not living in a shadow of doubt
But everybody needs a little something
Tu pull them through
I gave one for the other
And God know that the other was you
Chorus:
Now only time will tell
Only time will tell
If our love is scratched in sand
Or if it's etched in stone
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
If our love will stand
Or walk the road along
My angel of mercy
Pulled me through somehow
I just hope you know
I need you now
Solo
You're the one
That touched my very soul
The one who held on tight
God knows you never let go
Angel of mercy
It's time we closed the door
Put out the lights
And burn the fire
Burn the fire inside
Angel of mercy
You pulled me through
And this I tell to you
God know I'd tell it to you
No More Lookin' Back (Poison Jazz) (3:17)
My friend called just the other day
Packed it up he won't be back this way
It's not your heart but the spirit they break
There's only so much a small town boy can take
See the eyes of the countless masses
Drinking life from the empty glasses
Chorus:
No more victims
No more lies
Ne sheer heart attacks
No more empty promises
No more lookin' back
I came here loaded searching for the dream
But nothing is ever easy as it seems
I thought I got closer to it every day
But every day it just got so far away
See all the faces paled
Shot to hell when the system failed
Chorus
I thought I could take all the shit in grind
And stand much more pain
But see all those dead end wishes
Eats away at the brain
Solo, chorus
