C'est Le Dip
I canīt believe all the things I read in the papers But thereīs a chance with the voice I hear on the radio And whoīs to say about the shows I see on the T.V. You think I care about the things youīre trying to tell me Do you think I need that kind of story Do you think that a man might get that lonely? Well I donīt, do you? I like to watch those exciting James Bond capers Now thereīs a man you know just cannot loose Donīt wanna know about the Monday to Sunday dinners Donīt wanna know about whatīs happening in our schools Do you think I need that kind of story Do you think that a man might get that lonely? I do not You say you know nothinī I think you know somethinī You say you know nothinī- at all I want to sit right down, donīt want to have to go no further I want a chance to rest my eyes, give me a while to spend my money I want a chance with a new romance, it is the one that I will try with you Itīs 8:00, and itīs high time I was leaving And thereīs a plane that will take me far away Iīll be living with the whining and dining sinners Iīm going to show them what is happening And itīs true That you knew that I need that Kind of story But did you think that a man might Get that lonely Well I donīt - do you Who knows
Strangers in Love
I thought I knew what a lover should be To be so wrong was a lesson to me A good thing right in the palm of our hand What weīve become I just donīt understand Itīs getting harder every day To face the questions that wonīt go away The nights were easy but theyīre getting so rough Your bodyīs here but itīs no longer enough Strangers in love-strangers in love Iīve got the feeling to wander How will I know if my heart will grow fonder How do I know that Iīll miss you If I donīt go Iīve seen that distant look before And recently Iīve seen it more and more Unspoken words can be so unkind Iīd stay but weīre just wasting time Iīve got the feeling to wander How will I know if my heart will grow fonder How do I know that Iīll miss you If I donīt go Iīve got the feeling to wander How will I know if my heart will grow fonder How do I know that Iīll miss you If I donīt go But there is still a part of me That remembers how it used to be Something in my heart is calling donīt go donīt go Iīve got the feeling to wander How will I know if my heart will grow fonder How do I know that Iīll miss you If I donīt go Weīre only strangers in love Weīre only strangers in love
Hey Tori
Well hey Tori youīre looking so fine Iīll take you to my heart any old time Cause I love you Honest I do You make a difference in the way I feel I canīt explain it but I know that itīs real When I hold you Close to my heart So if you tell me that youīre sad and blue Iīll be there just to help you through And when you tell me that you feel the same way too I believe you I want you - I need you - be my girl forever We could go dancing baby, what do you say Give me the world and I will take you away Itīs so easy, just wait and see So if you tell me that youīre sad and blue Iīll be there just to help you through And when you tell me that you feel the same way too I believe you I want you - I need you-be my girl Well hey Tori youīre looking so fine Iīll take you to my heart any old time Cause I love you Honest I do I want you - I need you - be my girl forever
Amnesia
A stretch of lonely shore An open door A mystery about to break Am I the catalyst An analyst would send me somewhere But itīs hard to know If I would have the nerv to go If I know anything theyīre following I feel them breathing in my ear Hunting a wild seed the trail will lead Right into thin air Itīs an accident Nothing left for the man to find No escaping my poor mind Iīm running out of time Amnesia will clear my mind Make me go carefully-step by step But I canīt forget Cause I feel so far behind Amnesia will clear my mind Make me an open book-look by look But I canīt escape And I donīt know how to end it Forget diplomacy-conspiracy Intrigue is sealing every crack What was mechanical is natural But going backward Itīs an accident Nothing left for the man to find No escaping my poor mind Iīm running out of time Amnesia will clear my mind Make me go carefully-step by step But I canīt forget Cause I feel so far behind Amnesia will clear my mind Make me an open book-look by look But I canīt escape And I donīt know how to end it...
Permanent Vacation
Slippinī out the back way Gonna take it on my toes Leave behind all worry Give it all an adios A permanent vacation A leisurely vacation And take it on the lamb Just as fast as I can The phone is off itīs cradle Curdled milk outside the door Dailys in the garden A million letters in the hall A permanent vacation A leisurely vacation And take it on the lamb Just as fast as I can Hold on there now-well Iīve got something to say Well are you talking to me? Whatīs the hurry-youīll throw it all away Iīd really like to listen But Iīve other things to do Thereīs a taxi waiting And Iīve had enough of you A permanent vacation A leisurely vacation And take it on the lamb Just as fast as I can Iīll be living where the live is slow Across the tracks near the Kokomo Itīs just a little place down the town Have a few beers and mess around Iīll be packing for the morning plane Itīs hard to say if Iīll be back again Wonīt leave no number but I want you to know The word today is oh adios
Crazy World
Ainīt it a crazy life we got goin? Ainīt it a crazy life?
Eventide
Eventide comfort me Let your dreams cover me Whisper in the dark Ticking of the clock Eventide conceal me Hide me in memories Asylum that you bring A feeling so serene I recall sand-lot games Saturday matinees A bamboo fishing pole A favourite swimming whole Memories seem so clear Through the night lying there Living every thought Moments that were lost Following shadows Following shadows Morning light breaking cold Slender threat growing bold Illusions start to fade Shadows black to gray And it comes to the truth Of some long hidden youth Haunting deep inside The wounds there to bind Eventide shelter me Let your dreams comfort me The magic that you bring A feeling so serene Following shadows Following shadows
Token Jest
You can spare me the token jest And Iīll find my own way out You can speak in a broken text And Iīll listen to you without doubt Hey baby-donīt let me be misled Well honey-my heart is hanging on a thread First open up the curtains And tell me what itīs like outside Donīt you wanna get outta here for awhile? Take a walk or go for a ride? She said "I donīt know" Iīd like to treat her with kid gloves But you know sheīs a heavyweight I like to think itīs love she gives me But I always think too late My babe-confuses and throws me out My honey-abuses and lets me slide Letīs try to make it certain Weīve waisted too much time We can work this whole thing out Hit the light and give me a sign Stand up (hey babe) Hold your head up high (come over and see) Thereīs no reason to hang your head And I will tell you why (wonīt take long) Please donīt cry (come over by me) Weīll take it over in the morning light I will tell you all you need to know Try closing up the curtains Weīve waisted too much time We can work this whole thing out Hit the light and give me a sign You can spare me the token jest And Iīll find my own way out You can speak in a broken text And Iīll listen to you without doubt But I donīt seem to get very far... But I donīt seem to get very far... With my baby

Good Man Down
Theyīre trying to frame my partner He was struggling through another show And as the sell-out crowd was leaving To finish the evening He was feeling very low Above the tinkling champain glasses The last time we met on the boardwalk We spoke of dreams and schemes And things weīd planned to finish But we knew he couldnīt last It all seems so sad now When he looked me in the eye One last time Imagine how we felt I hope that I can carry it I know that I will never forget That familiar light in your eye Iīll see you soon my old friend Iīm sure that my timeīs just around the bend And weīll sing the songs one more time Iīm sorry Iīm not smiling You can see thereīs nothing on my mind Save the wake for the wind Next time it rains and thunders Cryinī-heīs another good man down Heīs another good man down Heīs another good man down But now the truth is in doubt Did he take the easy way out? There are so fewer burdens to go with that role And whoīs to say that he who knows nothinī really knows Well Iīm wondering
