I Don’t Mind

Wait, it’s easy I can see
To turn away from me
But I got all you need

Stay or go, you won’t see me crying, no, you won’t
You won’t leave me trying to be the fool in your fantasy

I don’t mind giving you the best of me
I don’t care if you think you need to be free
I just think maybe we should take a little time of our own

Ain’t got a lot of money but we’ll make it alright
You can wear my clothes and I’ll love you all night
No matter what you’ve got, you can’t afford to be alone

Stay or go, you won’t see me crying, no, you won’t
You won’t leave me trying to be the fool in your fantasy

I don’t mind giving you the best of me
I don’t care if you think you need to be free
I just think maybe you should take another look my way

I ain’t a movie star and I can’t write a love poem
But I’ll bring you lots of flowers and I’ll build you a home
No matter what comes up the road, you can count on me to stay

Stay or go, you won’t see me crying, no, you won’t
You won’t leave me trying to be the fool in your fantasy

Ain’t got a lot of money but we’ll make it alright
You can wear my clothes and I’ll love you all night
No matter how much you’ve got, you can’t afford to be alone

Bandit

I shake you up and take you down and
I will always play the clown by
Painting your reflection on my shame

I know
You’ve been slow to understand when
I go
Returning like a bandit

Stealing all your innocence and
Call it chance or circumstance when
All the evidence says I’m to blame

I know
You’ve been slow to understand when
I go
Returning like a bandit anyway

I shake you up and take you down and
I will always play the clown by
Painting your reflection on my shame

I know
You’ve been slow to understand when
I go
Returning like a bandit anyway

Secondhand Information/No Reason

What do you think you’re doing?
Whatever made you change?
Who do you think you’re fooling?
What makes you act so strange?
Now I can’t figure out what
This is all about

‘Cos it can’t be something
That I did or say
To make you act this way
Now I’ve got to say

You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got it
Second hand

Such a quick reversal
Or was it yesterday?
Or just a dress rehearsal
Then a costume change
But I seem to be missing
That page in the script

‘Cos it can’t be something
That I did or say
To make you act this way
Now I’ve got to say

You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got it
Second hand

Did you get it from your mama?
Ain’t she so sweet?
Did you get it from your papa?
Well did we ever meet?
Did you get it from your friends
Down at the corner bar?
Saying “he’s the man for you”
‘Cos I’d never go that far

You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got it
Second hand

Gonna tell you something’
This ain’t for me
I been down this road
Too many times, you see
Though I really care for you
There’s not much more I can do

And it can’t be something
That I did or say
To make you act this way
Now I’ve got to say

You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got your information
You must’ve got it
Second hand

Second hand yeah
You must’ve got it second hand

No Reason

We were once together, now we’ve gone our separate ways
You said that I’ve been living in a different time and place
But I never understood a single word you said

You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no reason

A house all filled with crosses, Jesus watches while you pray
Won’t memorize no scriptures while I’m lost in your embrace
You gave me ultimatums, should have given something else instead

You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no reason

While I’m at it, let me tell you if I’m honest what I see
Is a systematic failure at its essence and its seed
But my words are all a jumble when I pour out what’s inside my head

You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no reason

We were once together, now we’ve gone our separate ways
You said I had been living in a different time and place
But I never understood a single word you said

You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no reason

You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no
You gave me no reason

All About Money

I started out with hopes and dreams
My diary would make you scream
As day to day turned into years
Decades passed, what have I here?
Work to build a boss man’s dream
Is wasted time for little things
Put your shoulder to the wheel
Lick his boots and get your fill

It’s all about money
It’s all about
It’s all about money
It’s all about
It’s all about money
It’s all about
It’s all about money
It’s all about

You can talk of love and hope
Those will stop if you can’t cope
‘Cos you gotta start to undertake
Or some other guy will make your fate
You gotta have a plan man to man
You got the whole world sitting in your hand but
Don’t forget that in the end

It’s all about money
It’s all about
It’s all about money
It’s all about
It’s all about money
It’s all about
It’s all about money
It’s all about

And walking down these streets
Of America
They’re all paved with gold
But our hearts are filled with hysteria
But walking down these streets
Of America
They’re all paved with gold
But our hearts are filled with hysteria

Yes it may sound cold but you can do without
All the bleeding hearts that’ll make you doubt
And it doesn’t mean that I don’t care
When you’re down to nothing
What you got to share?
But make it big in the world
You make a difference you are the man
And everyone
Will know exactly what I mean when

It’s all about money
It’s all about
It’s all about money
It’s all about
It’s all about money
It’s all about
It’s all about money
It’s all about

Losing Angels

My head is spinning like a wheel
What am I feeling?
My head is spinning like a wheel
My heart is reeling
My world is reeling

I’ve lost my angel, she’s gone away
Oh, come again, oh, come and stay
My only angel, oh, don’t you know
I need a guardian, I need you so

My dreams have all become like dust
What have I become?
My dreams have all become like dust
How can I ever go on?
How can I ever go on?

I’ve lost my angel, she’s gone away
Oh, come again, oh, come and stay
My only angel, oh, don’t you know
I need a guardian, I need you so

I feel that I have gone quite mad
It’s an awful madness
To lose the hope that I once had
It’s an awful sadness
It’s an awful sadness

I’ve lost my angel, she’s gone away
Oh, come again, oh, come and stay
My only angel, oh, don’t you know
I need a guardian, I need you so

I Don’t Believe

I can hear the footsteps,
I cannot ignore
Now I hear a knocking
Knocking at my door
At my door
Oh, oh

I know what’s out there waiting
Inside I will remain
I feel my body shaking
My heart’s beating on the bars
Of a cage
Oh, oh

I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe
I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe

I’m driven to distraction
Driven like a nail
I feel like I’m a demon
Weeping on a trail
Straight to hell,
Oh, oh

I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe
I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe

No, I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe
No, I don’t believe

Hey Can Anyone See?

I found myself a guide
Standing in the shadows
I found a friend in the night
I found a friend in the night

And now I walk with confidence
Nobody can push me down
I’ve got the truth on my side
I’ve got the truth on my side

Hey can anyone see?
Hey can you see?
Hey can anyone see?
Hey can you see
Oh the change in me?

It’s not something you can analyze
I know what you think
But I feel so good inside
I feel so good inside

Hey can anyone see?
Hey can you see?
Hey can anyone see?
Hey can you see
Oh the change in me?

Hey can anyone see?
Hey can you see?
Hey can anyone see?
Hey can you see
Oh the change in me?

Oh the change in me
Oh the change in me
Oh the change in me

She’ll Get Her Way

She’ll kill you with her kindness
Laughing all the way
Then leave you nearly blinded
With the bills you’re left to pay
Dancing out the entry
With your shirt; its inside out
She’ll get past the only sentry
With a coy but evil pout

Tomorrow it’s forgotten
All the brittle words she said
Though the apple core is rotten
It sits well upon your head
Ready, aim then fire
Her smile belies the truth
That all your dreams conspired
To behold their fallen youth

But she’ll get her way
What can I say? (she’ll get her way)
She’ll get her way
What can I say? (she’ll get her way)
She gets her way
(she’ll get her way)

Your age has lost its wisdom
Forgotten like a tooth
Tell yourself the bottom’s
Where you’ll find your misspent youth
Tantamount and treason
Will never let you in
That’s all the more the reason
You’ll be wagering with sin

But she’ll get her way
What can I say? (she’ll get her way)
She’ll get her way
What can I say? (she’ll get her way)
She gets her way
(she’ll get her way)

But she’ll get her way
What can I say? (she’ll get her way)
She’ll get her way
What can I say? (she’ll get her way)
She gets her way
(she’ll get her way)

Something Still

If I don’t care anymore
Why don’t I close the door
And why can’t I walk away
If I don’t care anymore?

Oh I can’t tell if what I feel
Leaves me standing at the entry
Holding on to something still
Something still

If you don’t care anymore
Why don’t you close the door
Why don’t you leave your keys
If you don’t care anymore?

Oh I can’t tell if what I feel
Leaves me standing at the entry
Holding on to something still
Something still

I don’t know what it is I seek
Although I reach out far ahead of me
To feel my way through darkness
To cast away this fear
There must be something waiting for me
Waiting for me here

If we don’t care anymore
Why don’t we close the door
Set ourselves free from what has passed between you and me
If we don’t care anymore?

Oh I can’t tell
If what I feel
Leaves me standing at the entry
Holding on to something still

Something still
Something still
Something still
Something stillLike There’s No Tomorrow

Time Slips

This mirror is clearly deceiving
Says the man who looks back at me cleaving
Onto yesterday’s frightened boy
Lost and alone, who’s now turned away
And is leaving

(As time), As time slips through me
(As time), As time slips through me
(As time), As time slips through me
(As time), As time slips through me

This mirror insists on revealing
All the lines on my face not worth feeling
Every wrinkle of faith
Every scar’s thin escape
All along it was time it was stealing

(As time), As time slips through me
(As time), As time slips through me
(As time), As time slips through me
(As time), As time slips through me

This mirror is so unforgiving
And I, like a fool, keep believing
That tomorrow will come
And prove all of it wrong
As Dali’s clocks melt on the ceiling

(As time), As time slips through me
(As time), As time slips through me
(As time), As time slips through me
(As time), As time slips through meWill I ever find it?
Will it set me free?
Is it really what I see?
Do I really feel it?
Is it part of me?
Is it really what I see?

All Over Again

Awake, but half asleep
You turned to me and softly kissed my cheek
And then you slowly smiled
And closed your eyes and held me like a child

And then I fell in love
All over again
And then I fell in love
All over again
With you…

Or was it just a dream
It might just be, ‘cos I can hardly speak
No words could say how much
But all I know is spoken with a touch

And then I fall in love
All over again
And then I fall in love
All over again
With you…

And when I’m feeling down
You tell me not to worry
You tell me I am found
You tell me there’s no hurry
You tell me I am found
Whenever you’re around
But my feet don’t touch the ground

No all I want to do
Is show you all the things I’ve kept from view
And see you slowly smile
You light my world and make my heart go wild

That’s when I fall in love
All over again
I will always fall in love
All over again
With you…

Oh, with you…
{All over again)
With you
