Put It Down

My show

Put it down, they move this town,
They follow with their eyes
Ice cold kisses, fierce surprise
A good, a good disguise
Is all you need to bleed a situation

You know

Pull it back and put on attack
Admission in your eyes
Ice cold kisses compromise
A good, a good disguise
Is all you need to bleed a situation

Let go

Put it down they move this town
They follow with their eyes
Ice cold kisses terrorise
A good, a good disguise
Is all you need to bleed a situation

(I could pull it with a bullet) Down in seven, shine a light boy
(I could pull it with a bullet) What a wasted revolution
(I could pull it with a bullet) I'm a white boy, need confusion
(I could pull it with a bullet) We're all out together, together forever

Put it down, they move this town,
They follow with their eyes
Ice cold kisses, fierce surprise
A good, a good disguise
Is all you need to bleed a situation

(I could pull it with a bullet) Down in seven, shine a light boy
(I could pull it with a bullet) What a wasted revolution
(I could pull it with a bullet) I'm a white boy, need confusion
(I could pull it with a bullet) We're all out together, together forever

Kissing 2 Be Clever

Saved by this parade of passion was my company
Gave my life for next to nothing a sane artillery
Is one that kisses 2 be clever who is the enemy
It's not me
(not me, not you, not me)

Saved by this persuade like passion, sexuality
Gave my heart like fate was nothing, a sane reality
Is one that wishes never, never, what is reality
Show me
(Show me, show me)

Sail on a sea of Pepsi Cola shaken at sunrise
Kiss the boy and then employ a very white disguise
Who had asked you to consider, you are not so fly
In the city they will snigger, ask them why

Swayed by my love's kiss of passion, masculinity
Gave my touch without compassion, a sane anatomy
Is one who holds the need forever, but you're not holding me
Hold me
(Hold me hold me)

Saved by this parade of passion was my company
Gave my life for next to nothing, a sane artillery
Is one that kisses 2 be clever, who is the enemy
It's not me
(not me, no not you, not me)

Laying back, control all over, kissing to surprise
In the city they consider you got big wide eyes
Taken in by the attraction of the fast food scene
Put your finger on the trigger, I know where you've been

Saved by this parade of passion was my company
Gave my life for next to nothing, a sane artillery
Is one that kisses to be clever, who is the enemy
It's not me

(Not me, no not you
Not me, it's not you
Not me, no not you
Then who?)

Stand Down

Stand down, yeah

Stand down, yeah...

Friends and lovers beware, cause there's something in the air
I feel it coming, I feel it coming
And I'm talking to you all, cause when that hammer starts to fall
There'll be no running, there'll be no running

But my people and your people must do the things they do, yeah
And my people are such sweet people, don't worry baby, won't get those hooks on you

Stand down, don't let them know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
Stand down, don't let them know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life

Stand down, oh yeah
Stand down, yeah

It is written in the sky, there's no place for you and I
To keep on strumming, no strumming
In the message that we send, they're gonna tell us in the end
We had it coming, we had it coming

But my people and your people must do the things they do, yeah
And my people are such sweet people, don't worry baby, won't get those hooks on you

Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life

If all the things that we possess
The most important is tenderness
Too cold when that wind blows today
And bitterness is the easy way

Stand down...

But my people and your people must do the things they do, yeah
And my people are such sweet people, don't worry baby, won't get those hooks on you

Stand down, don't let 'em know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life
Stand down, don't let them know your secret
Stand down, if you wanna live your life

Stand down
Stand down
Stand down
Stand down

Next 2 You

It doesn't matter if I say you're right even when you're wrong
Or paint you as a hero or the checks in every song
I roll my eyes to heaven, I recognise your flaws
But after all is said and done, I just want you more

Some people say I must be blind
But I'll have you over them any time

Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you
Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you (I wanna get next 2 you)

While searching for perfection, I fell foul of your charms
Te quiero mi amigo, I want to leave, I can't
These shoes are getting heavy, this cross is hard to bear
At least a life of misery is something we can share

Some people say I must be blind
But I'll have you over them any time

Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you
Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you
Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you, yes I do
Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you (I wanna get next 2 you)

Some people say I must be blind
But I'll have you over them any time

Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you
Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you
Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you, yes I do
Oh I, I, wanna get next 2 you (I wanna get next 2 you)

Peculiar World

Of all the paramours that I know, you must be the best
Always lied about your past and covered up the rest

Believe

Knowing you as I do, my love for you
Will tear me up inside
If love is for fools, what can I do?
I'm not here for the ride

(I'm asking you) Where did you leave your heart?
(I'm asking you) Where did you leave your heart?

I can never believe, I can never believe in someone who loves the way you do
I can never believe, never ever believe in someone who loves the way you do

What will we ever learn, all those bridges we burn
The foolish things that we do
Tears for the day when you came my way
The first time that you lied

(I'm asking you) Where did you leave your heart?
(I'm asking you) Where did you leave your heart?

I can never believe, I can never believe in someone who loves the way you do
I can never believe, I can never believe in someone who hurts the way you do

Knowing me as I do, my love for you
It's gonna tear me up inside
If love is for fools then what can I do?
I'm not here for the ride

I can never believe, I can never believe in someone who loves the way you do
I can never believe, I can never believe in someone who hurts the way you do

I can never believe, I can never believe in someone who loves the way you do

Love Is Lonely

No more dark clouds will fall
Since the angel came my way
Heaven they can have it all
I need you here with me today

Love is lonely without you, oh
Love is lonely without you, oh

I searched my whole life alone
Now I know where I went wrong, cause

Love is lonely without you

No more blue tears will fall
Only light to guide my way
Love is true bliss, love is all
I need you here with me to stay

Love is lonely without you, oh
Love is lonely without you, oh
I searched my whole life alone
Now I know where I went wrong, cause

Love is lonely without you

Love is lonely without you, oh
Love is lonely without you, oh
I searched my whole life alone
Now I know where I went wrong, cause

Love is lonely without you

Love is lonely without you

Love is lonely

Moghul Tomb

There's a path to the truth, better find it, get snappy

Wants to be a part of its history

How D'ya Keep Your Credibility?

Hey, this song is for Marilyn and every drag queen...

Oh brother, it's not like the past
We were wearing stilettos and talking too fast
Passing the mirror hung up in pose
The boys they were fairest in immaculate clothes

Lunch with Janet Street-Porter and Marilyn's nose
But this life is a baby, so sad when it grows
And to you and me, ah what the hell we're gonna be?

Where will we go, and what will we be?
If we can't communicate intelligently
There's a price on my head but I'll never be free
I said 'how d'ya keep your credibility'?

No more crying
No more trying
Please, no more dying
I just wanna be free

I'm taking the trouble right to your door
Why'd you do it you bastard, don't love you no more
Sinners beside me, saints on the right
And if you slow down, you'll be a turkey tonight

C'mon let's go a little further, don't be uptight
If you feel insecure, well just turn off the light
Where will we go, and what will we be?
If we can't communicate intelligently
There's a price on my head but I've never been free
I said 'how d'ya keep your credibility'?
I said 'how d'ya keep your credibility'?

Is There Cream In This Soup?

Is there cream in this soup?

I look in the mirror, I know I'm not good enough to eat
I'll tell you something, my hunger has nothing to do with greed
So I bleed

This is junkie love when you've got no sugar
You behave like a wretch when you could be the buddha
You say it's you, but I know it's me

Is there cream in this soup, is there truth in this lie?
A promise that was made in the strangest eye
Would you kill for love, would you go for miles?
Baby don't lie

Take the needle off the record
It's been playing such a long time
Take the needle off the record
I'm so tired of hearing that line

Same old line

I look in the mirror, I know I'm not good enough to eat
I'll tell you something, my hunger has nothing to do with greed
So feed me

This is junkie love when you've got no sugar
You live like a wretch when you could be the buddha
You say it's you, but I know it's me

Is there cream in this soup, is there truth in this lie?
A promise that was made in the strangest eye
Would you kill for love, would you do or die?
Baby don't lie

Take the needle off the record
It's been playing such a long time
Take the needle off the record
I'm so tired of hearing that line

Take the needle off the record
It's been playing such a long time
Take the needle off the record
I'm so tired of hearing that line

Lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie
Lie, lie, lie

I never meant to hurt you, I don't know why
You come with your lawyers and your alibi
How can you look me straight in the eye
When you know your truth is a lie, lie, lie?

Lie, lie
Lie, lie
Lie, lie

Take the needle off the record
It's been playing such a long time
Take the needle off the record
I'm so tired of hearing that line

Take the needle off the record
It's been playing such a long time
Take the needle off the record
I'm so tired of hearing that line

Take the needle off the record...

Masheri

Feel like a knife that could slip any moment
Feel like a gun that could blast you from nowhere
Beg me and make me be a drop in my ocean
I'd run to you if I thought you could care

If I...

I've got a gun, swear I will use it
I've got a voice in the back of my mind
Love doesn't heed from the moment that you lose it
I never said I could not be unkind

Like a drug to me, drowning underneath me
I would give my life away for someone like you
You know it is no mystery, all the fear you bring to me
If I had the eyes to see, would I be with you?

Feel like a fool played in a million movies
I felt your touch and I knew you were there
God he was cruel cause he poisoned this beauty
Sometimes I feel like he just took my care

Feel like a knife that could cut any moment
Feel like a gun that could blast you from nowhere
Beg me and make me be a drop in my ocean
I'd run to you if I knew you were there

Like a drug to me, drowning underneath me
I would give my life away for someone like you
You know it is no mystery, all the fear you bring to me
If I had the eyes to see, would I be with you?

Would I be with you?
Would I be with you?

I could be so cruel

Grand Scheme of Things

Heaven sent, hatred spent
This mark's on my wall
Words that you down to size
Bring the ocean to your eyes

Is it you, is it me
Keep your cheap philosophy
For someone who's done enough
To overdose on twisted love

Every second, every hour that you take away my power
No one knows what fortune brings in the grand scheme of things

In the grand scheme of things
You and I are very small
In the grand scheme of things
We know nothing at all

Innocence, no remorse
Just a mystery and lies
Holding out your beggar bowl
Got my teardrops in your eyes

Is it me, is it you
Such a thoughtless thing to do
To someone who's done enough
To hold on to twisted love

Every second, every hour that you take away my power
No one knows what fortune brings in the grand scheme of things

In the grand scheme of things
You and I are very small
In the grand scheme of things
We know nothing at all

Every second, every hour that you take away my power
No one knows what fortune brings in the grand scheme of things

In the grand scheme of things
You and I are very small
In the grand scheme of things
We know nothing at all

In the grand scheme of things
In the grand scheme of things
In the grand scheme of things
In the grand scheme of things

Lion's Roar

(Dirty Babylon!
You're nasty!)

Everyone said you are the done
Respected, rejected, down trodden and stunned
Hold up your head like the innocent one
Threaten my life, tell me my time will come

Babylon boy, with the money and gold
Robbing the black men, stories of old
Why tell the truth, I cannot be
I am the lion that you never see

Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
In their truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar

The voice in your head said that I am a thief
You stand on the land and lie through your teeth

Babylon boy, with the money and gold
Robbing the black men, stories of old
Why tell them truth, I cannot be
I am the lion that you never see

Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
In their truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar

Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
In their truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
(In their truth and understanding)

(You're nasty!)
I know you want to see me dead...
I know you want to see me dead...

Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
In their truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar

Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
In their truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar

If I Were U

(The chance to live your life)

(The chance to live your life)

You live your life in desperation
I tried but could not break your will
Regret and endless conversation
It hurts to see you standing still

But if you had the chance to live your life again
Would you squander your beauty and intelligence
Take a look in the mirror now cause every word is true
I'd be afraid if I were U

If I were U

You pass the blame to those around you
Look in the mirror, face the truth
I tried to help, I tried to ground you
You had such beauty in your youth

(But if you had the chance to live your life again)
(Would you squander your beauty and intelligence)
(Take a look in the mirror now cause every word is true)
(I'd be afraid if I were U)

But if you had the chance to live your life again
Would you squander your beauty and intelligence
Take a look in the mirror now cause every word is true
I'd be afraid if I were U

If I were U

Hiroshima

You've got Hiroshima, going cough inside
You cheat and lie just to survive
Shake the money tree, heed the warning signs
Where lovers lie, not parricides

What would you give to be the master of your life?
The struggle is such a waste of time, yours and mine

I give you these eyes that I see through
My blood, my money too
I'm not afraid to run to you
Cause I get lonely too
No-one knows you like I do

You've got Hiroshima, inside

Where lovers lie

What would you give to be the master of your life?
The struggle is such a waste of time, yours and mine

I give you these eyes that I see through
My blood, my money too
I'm not afraid to run to you
Cause I feel lonely too
No-one knows you like I do

What would you give to be the master of your life?
The struggle is such a waste of time, yours and mine

I give you these eyes that I see through
My blood, my money too
I'm not afraid to run to you
Cause I get lonely
I give you these eyes that I see through
My blood, my money too
I'm not afraid to run to you
Cause I get lonely too
(I give you these eyes that I see through)
(My blood, my money too)
(I'm not afraid to run to you)
Cause I get lonely...

Crystal Blue Persuasion

Look over yonder, what do you see
The sun is a-rising most definitely
A new day is coming, people are changing
Ain't it beautiful, crystal blue persuasion

Crystal blue persuasion, it's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion

Better get ready, gonna see the light
I said love is the answer and that's alright
So don't you give up now
Better look to your soul, and then open your mind

Crystal blue persuasion, it's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion

Maybe tomorrow, when he looks down
On every green field, and every little town
All of his children, in every nation
There'll be peace and good, brotherhood, crystal blue persuasion

Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal blue persuasion

Crystal blue... blue... persuasion

Armageddon

(War is over!)

Words are useless now we understand each other
Wish I knew then what I know today
I search for sweetness, in this, this lonely armageddon
You know I'm human, what else can I say

I don't want your blood, I don't want your fear
To fill you with regret for all these wasted years
No I, I won't die, I will rise again, all through these lonely nights

Don't beg him to stay
Don't make a mistake
Don't beg him to stay, no way
Don't beg him to stay
Don't beg him to stay
Don't make a mistake, just walk away
Don't, don't, no
Just walk away
Don't you beg

(War is over!)

Words are useful when we, when we hurt each other
For all those things we never meant to say
I search for sweetness, in this, this lonely armageddon
You know I'm human, what else can I say

I don't want your blood, I don't want your fear
To fill you with regret for all these wasted years
No I, I won't die, I will rise again, all through these lonely nights

Don't beg him to stay
Don't make a mistake
Don't beg him to stay, no way
Don't beg him to stay
Don't beg him to stay
Don't make a mistake, just walk away

Don't, don't, no
Just walk away, just walk away
(War is over)

Just walk away, just walk away

Little boys that don't get loved keep their pain away
Little girls that don't get loved sometimes do the same
Little boys that don't get loved hide their pain away
Little girls that don't get loved sometimes do the same

Just walk away (war is over)
Just walk away, just walk away

Run, Run, Run

You'd better run

I don't know anyone as cold as you baby
Except those fools who cuss me on the street
They don't bring me down the way that you do
Steal my heart and take away my sleep

So you better run, run, run
If you're getting ready for a life of crime
So you better run, run, run
If you're thinking maybe you can waste my time
You better run
You better run
You better run

I don't know anyone as fine as you boy
You're lying eyes, your lips, your hands and feet, so sweet
No-one brings me down the way that you do
Steal my heart and take away my sleep
So you better run, run, run
If you're getting ready for a life of crime
You better run, run, run
If you're thinking maybe you can waste my time
You better run
You better run
You better run
You better run

I don't know anyone as cold as you baby

No-one brings me down the way that you do
Steal my heart and take away my sleep

So you better run, run, run
If you're getting ready for a life of crime
You better run, run, run
If you're thinking maybe you can waste my time
You better run, run, run
If you're getting ready for a life of crime
You better run

You better run
You better run
You better run
You better run

You better run, run, run...
