Hollywood

back to top
I've got a picture in my head
In my head
It's me and you we are in bed
We are in bed
You'll always be there when i call
When i called
You'll always be there most of all, all, all, all
This is not Hollywood like I understood
Is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
Is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
Run away, run away
Is there anybody there?
Get away, get away
Is there anybody there?
Get away, get away, get away!
Get away, get away, get away!
(refrain) uh oh oh oh. . .
I've got a picture in my room
In my room
I will return there i presume
It should be soon
The greatest irony of all
Should do all
It's not so glamourous at all, all, all, all
This is not Hollywood
Like I understood
Is not Hollywood
Like, like, like
This is not Hollywood
Like i understood
Is not Hollywood like, like, like

Salvation


back to top

To all those people doing lines
Don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It's free, it's free

To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Cause it's not not what it seems
No, no it's not not what it seems
Salvation salvation salvation
Is free
Salvation salvation salvation
Is free
To all the parents with sleepless nights
Sleepless nights
Tie your kids home to their beds
Clean their heads

To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Cause it's not not what it seems
No, no it's not not what it seems
Salvation salvation salvation
Is free

Salvation salvation salvation
Is free

When You're Gone


back to top

(Refrain) do ba dop
Hold on to love
That is what i do
Now that I found you
And from above everything's stinking
In and around you
And in the night
I could be helpless
I could be lonely, slipping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple when i'm not around you

But I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do
Hey baby
But it's hard to carry on
That is what i do
Hey baby
(refrain)
Hold on to my hands
I feel I'm sinking
Sinking without you
And to my mind everything's stinking
Stinking without you
And in the night I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple
When I'm not around you
And I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do
Hey baby
It's hard to carry on
That is what I do
Hey baby
(refrain)

Free To Decide

back to top

It's not worth anything more
Than it is at all
I live as I choose
Or I will not live at all
So return to where you came from
Return to where you dwell

Because harassment's not my forte
But you do it very well
And I'm free to decide, free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide

You must have nothing more
With your time to do
There's a war in Russia, Sarajevo too
So to hell with all your thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind, behind
Cause I'm free to decide
I'm free to decide
And I'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide

Warchild


back to top

Who will save the warchild baby?
Who controls the key?
The web we weave is thick and sordid
Fine by me
At times of war, we're all the losers
There's no victory
We shoot to kill and kill your lover
Fine by me
Warchild!, victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial greed
Mind the warchild, we should mind the warchild

I spent last winter in New York and came upon a man
He was sleeping on the sTReets and homeless
He said, "I fought in Vietnam"
Beneath his shirt he wore the mark, he bore the mark with pride
A two inch deep incision carved into his side
Warchild!, victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial greed
Mind the warchild, we should mind the warchild

Who's the loser now? who's the loser now?
We're all the losers now!, we're all the losers now
Warchild. . .warchild

Forever Yellow Skies

back to top
(refrain....beautiful angelic voice)

Yellow skies
I can see you in the yellow skies
See you again
I see you again
In my dreams, in my dreams,
in my dreams, in my dreams
Morning light
I remember morning light!
Outside my door
I'll see you no more
In my dreams, in my dreams,
in my dreams, in my dreams
Forever
Forever I'll be
Forever holding you responsible, responsible,
responsible, responsible

Black and white
It's become so black and white
You're so insecure
You're so insecure
That's what you are, that's what you are, that's what you are
Forever!
Forever I'll be
Forever holding you
Forever!
Forever I'll be
Forever holding you responsible, responsible,
responsible, responsible--ow ow ow ow

The Rebels

back to top

Seems like yesterday we were 16
We were the rebels of the rebel scene
We wore Doc Martins in the sun
Drinking vintage cider, having fun
We were drinking vintage cider, having fun

It wasn't often that we'd fight at all
It wasn't often
It wasn't often that we'd fight at all
It wasn't often

We wore Doc Martins in the snow
(chorus: We will never go)
Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow
(chorus: We will never grow)
What I am now is what I was then
(chorus: We will never know)
I am not more acceptable than them
I am not more acceptable than them

It wasn't often that we'd fight at all
It wasn't often
It wasn't often that we'd fight at all
It wasn't often (repeated 8 times)
Seems like yesterday we were 16
We were rebels of the rebel scene (heavy sigh)

I Just Shot John Lennon

It was a fearful night of December eigth
He was returning home from the studio late
He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice
Because in 1980 he paid the price

JOHN LENNON DIED

With a Smith and Wesson 38
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed home
He should have never cared
The man who took his life declared,
He said, "I just shot John Lennon."
" I just shot John Lennon."
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night

Electric Blue


back to top

ElecTRic blue eyes, where did you come from?
ElecTRic blue eyes, who sent you?
ElecTRic blue eyes, always be near me
ElecTRic blue eyes, I need you
(refrain)
Domine, domine deus
Domine, adiuva me
Domine, domine deus
Domine, adiu adiuma me
Hey, ay, Hey, ay
If you should go, you should know, I love you
If you should go, you should know, I'm here
Always be near me...guardian angel
Always be near me
There's no fear
None at all....

I'm Still Remembering

back to top


I'm still remembering the day
I gave my life away
I'm still remembering the time
You said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare
Because you were not there
Yesterday was cold
My story has been told
I need your affection all the way
The world has changed
Or I've changed in a way
I TRy to remain
I'm TRying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way
I'm still remembering my life
Before I became your wife
I'm still remembering the pain
And the mind games
Reverse psychology never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul, I didn't sell my soul
I need your affection all the way
They say the cream will always rise to the top
The say that good people are always first to drop
What of Kurt Cobain?
Will his presence still remain?
Remember JFK?
Ever saintly in a way
Where are you now? Where are you now?
I say, where are you now?
I need your affection all the way

Will You Remember?


back to top

Will you remember the dress I wore?
Will you remember my face?
Will you remember the lipstick I wore?
This world is a wonderful place
Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember the champagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen?
I will return here again
Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there

I won't remember the dress i wore
I won't remember champagne
I won't remember the things that we swore
I will just love you in vain
Will you remember?
Will you recall?

Joe

There was a time I was so lonely
Remember the time it was on Friday
You made me feel fine, we did it my way
I sat on your knees every Friday

I still recall you, I see you in summer
Joe, Joe
I sat on your chair by the fire
Transfixed in a stare, taking me higher
Precious years to remember
Childhood fears i surrender
I still recall you, I see you in summer
Joe, Joe

Bosnia

back to top

I would like to state my vision, life is so unfair
We live in our secure surroundings
And people die out there
Bosnia was so unkind, Sarajevo changed my mind
And we all call out in despair, all the love we need isn't there
And we all sing songs in our room, Sarajevo erects another tomb
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Bosnia! was so unkind!
Sarajevo.....
Bosnia! was so unkind!
Sure things would change if we really wanted them to
No fear for children anymore
There are babies in their beds, terror in their heads
For the love of life!!!
(refrain)When do the saints come marching in?
(chorus sung by children)walk on tip toe

Cordell

back to top

Once you ruled my mind
I thought you'd always be there
And I'll always hold on to your face
But everything changes in time
And the answers are not always fair
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Cordell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I know that you've gone to a better place
Cordell...Cordell....Cordell...Cordell
Cordell...Cordell....Cordell
Your lover and baby will cry
But you presence will always remain
Is this how it was meant to be?
You meant something more to me
That what many people will see
And to hell with the industry
Cordell
Time will tell
They say that you've passed away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell
Time will tell
We all will depart and decay
And we all will return to a better place
Cordell...Cordell.....Cordell....Cordell
Cordell...Cordell...
