Do you love him Or is it still too soon to know? When I think back a couple of days Before I found you in his spell Was there a warning? What can I say Should I look away It's still too soon to know Are you sorry Or is it still to soon to know? It didn't take...

How many wrinkles in a pickle How many hairs in a head How many waves in the ocean How many crumbs in bed But last but not least, but baby most of all Why do I mmmumble everytime you call Because you're strange to me baby Oh, you're good to me mama Well, I ad...

This never was one of the great romances But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes But now they look in tired and bitter glances At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise I get the feeling that I don't belong here But there's no welc...

There's a hand on a wire that leads to my mouth I can hear you knocking but I'm not coming out Don't want to be a puppet or a ventriloquist 'Cause there's no ventilation on a critical list Fingers creeping up my spine are not mine to resist Strict time Chorus...

We used to go out walkin' hand in hand You told me all the big things you had planned It wasn't long till all your dreams came true Success put me in second place with you You have no time to love me anymore Since fame & fortune knocked upon our door I sp...

Well, there's an old man's fantasy Put in a young girl's mouth Like cheap pink lipstick Smeared on her wedding dress Will you look what you've done to her Will you look at this disgrace Well, it's all over Your suffering face If we were chrome, we would be ru...

While Nat King Cole sings "Welcome To My World" You request some song you hate, you sentimental fool And it's the force of habit If it moves then you fuck it If it doesn't move you stab it And I thought I heard "The Working Man's Blues" He went out to work th...

She wears a wedding ring her sister lent To throw them off the scent Just let them guess, it's what they expect Who in the world has bitten her neck? She's discovered wearing last night's dress The carnal and cunning, she couldn't express Who do you think she'...

It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane Everywhere I travel the pretty girls call my name I give them a squeeze and they shoot me a wink I buy their hard-headed husbands a long cool drink You better come up smelling sweet 'cos you're a long time stinking I...

Sunday's Best Times are tough for English babies Send the army and the navy Beat up strangers who talk funny Take their greasy foreign money Skin shop, red leather, hot line Be prepared for the engaged sign Bridal books, engagement rings And other wicked littl...

Do you remember how to say please? You've had your own way for such a long time Your lash is sweet now, I dry your cheek You think I'm powerless when you weep You may have something, I don't deny You look too beautiful when you cry If I seem unconcerned Perha...

Sweet dreams of you, every night I go through I should hate you girl the whole night through Instead I'm having sweet dreams all about you You don't love me it's plain I should have known you'd never share my name Why can't I forget you girl, start loving som...

Sweet pear, sweet pear Those who say they love you would never dare I'll watch out for you I'll always be there In the hour of your distress, you need not fear In all the world there's only one true love And finding it's hard enough I bless whatever's in the...

You're a swine and I'm saying that's an insult to the pig In the foul furrow that you dig Why don't you lay your head down? In that unconsecrated ground Well, was she your mother? Or was she your bride To defile and to blister To gnaw at her side Is this the...

My dear impulsive darling I suspect my letter got to you too late And it's really just a silly fragment of paper But it means so much to those who wait All the suffering days and nights Till I dare dream again There you suddenly stand and I'll be damned If yo...

I tried in vain to drive myself insane I talk to myself but I don't listen I found out what I was missing I miss talking in the dark Without you, I'm not conversational Without the sense of the occasional Without you, I miss talking in the dark When the barki...

Hear silver trumpets will trill in Arabic streets of Seville Oranges roll in the gutter And you pick them up And peel back the skin To the red fruit within But the flavor is... Tart And the flavor is... Tart Is it something you crave? And you say that you onl...

Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears? Who knows or cares what an imitation is? Only you do You can paint his nails Make him wear high heels Why waste time altering the hemline? Or do you? Tear off your own head Tear off your own head It's a doll revolu...

I know the name on the tip of your tongue And I know that accusing look Everybody knows I've been so wrong That's the problem and here's the hook Tears before bedtime There'll be trouble tonight I don't want to talk about it anymore I don't want to have anoth...

I feel such sorrow, I feel such shame I know I won't arrive on time Before whatever out there is gone What can I do, that day is done It's just a promise that I made I said I'd walk in her parade Hot scalding tears I thought would flow Still in my heart they'...
