Say Hello
to all the crazy people who go walking in the rain
to every single young girl who is waiting for a man
and to every desperado who is looking for a friend
to all the lonely strangers who think life is pretty bad
to all the funny people who are really rather sad
and to everyone who likes to have a lot of fun in bed.
I say hello to all the junkies
all the sinners and the creeps
say hello to all the people in this place
I say hello to all the drunkheads
all the prostitutes and freaks
say hello to all the people in this world.
to all the foreign people who are always in a fight
to all the clumsy lovers who can never get it right
and to everyone I know who'll never get to see the light
to anyone out there who likes to hang out with the stars
to every man in black and everyone who plays guitars
and to everyone who knows that there is human life on Mars.
I say hello to all the junkies
all the sinners and the creeps
say hello to all the people in this place
I say hello to all the drunkheads
all the prostitutes and freaks
say hello to all the people in this world.
to all the crazy people who go walking in the rain. |

Mondo Cane
you can get your life stolen and die in the shade
lie in the bed that your parents have made
you can all go to hell at a red traffic light
as a matter of speaking, I couldn't care
you can stuff your beliefs and your nursery rhymes
I drink till I'm senseless whatever the wine
with no hope, no glory and no Jesus Christ
we all turn into ashes, welcome to the show.
but hold tight, hold still, for a little while and for real
I could break it up and I could break it in two
are you holding tight? are you holding still?
holy father and son change your disguise
for all the good people and sinners alike
so I try to have fun in a rock n' roll band
and your party is over, do you understand?
so the future is set in a shadowy road
you can try to walk back through the streets that you know
but the houses are empty and nobody's home
only sad looking dogs and welcome to the show.
but hold tight, hold still, for a little while and for real
I could break it up and I could break it in two
are you holding tight? are you holding still?
welcome to the show. |

El President
It came from the skies, it burst through the gates
with no mercy or disguise, with their hearts set out in flames
I know I've seen the masterplan.
I'm just a man, I'm not giving in
all the people understand cause they all fell down and prayed
I know I've seen the master plan.
they've killed the president, they've killed the president.
It came from the skies, in all shades of green
we can always justify, we can measure up your dreams
I know I've seen the masterplan
they've killed the president, they've killed the president.
they've killed the president, they've killed the president
I'm just a man.

Sober
I'm so scared I might fall down
I'm feeling sober now but I still can't feel the ground
and time, it's time to makes amends
no it's not that hard to sense that things are different now.
now that I don't feel so lonesome anymore
now that I am not afraid at all
if you put your arms around me I won't fall
now that I am not afraid at all.
I've tried and tried to make demands
though it's so hard to make sense
guess I'm feeling sober now
but I'm too small to take defense
no it's not that hard to sense that things are different now.
now that I don't feel so lonesome anymore
now that I am not afraid at all
if you put your arms around me I won't fall
now that I am not afraid at all.
I'm so scared I might fall down, I'm feeling sober now. |

I know I could
well I feel stained and I'm in pieces
in my mouth the sad taste of the past
a thousand wasted kisses
so another glass and a cigarette
just anything to help forget
things that everyday I still find missing
oh let the whole world crash down on me
and let the curtains rise
I could do so much harm
I could do you no good
I'll leave my stain on your heart, I would
I gonna mess up your life and make you forever blue
'cause I could hurt you, I know I could.
the misty haze in the final rest
they say the first shall be the last
but no not me 'cause I don't believe it
so another glass and a cigarette
just anything to help forget
things that every day I still find missing
oh let the whole world crash down on me
and let the curtains rise
I could do so much harm
I could do you no good
I'll leave a stain on your heart, I would
I'm gonna mess up your life and make you forever blue
'cause I could hurt you, I know I could.
'cause I could do so much harm
yeah I could do you no good
I'll leave a stain on your heart, I would
yeah I'm gonna mess up your life and make you forever blue
'cause I could hurt you, I know I could.

Spacegirl
spacegirl, you've had enough on this ground
well take another deep shot
'cause I know that life should be so good
we need to let it all hang out
just like a freak bell making such a weird sound
well turn your radio right up
'cause I know that life can be so cruel
we need to let it all hang out, hang out.
I wanna live like a spacegirl, living like a spacegirl
I wanna live like a spacegirl, yeah.
freak head happy as a clean doll
always getting so high
I know that life can be a pain
we need to let it all hang out, hang out.
I wanna live like a spacegirl, living like a spacegirl
I wanna live like a spacegirl, yeah. |

Never Come Down
sun gets in your eyes so you turn away
another sunny day goes by you
is this gonna end or slowly drift away?
I don't wanna go, no, I want you to stay.
you don't have to ever come down
you don't have to make it real
nothing's gonna stop you just being the way you are
nothing's gonna change the way you feel.
never come down.....
sun gets in your eyes and slowly moves away
seems a lot of time goes by you
is this gonna end or will it drift away?
I don't wanna go, no, I want this to stay.
you don't have to ever come down
you don't have to make it real
nothing's gonna stop you just being the way you are
nothing's gonna change the way you feel.
never come down..... |

Song For Pessoa
how sweet is the dreamer's night to wipe everything clean
in this world that will never be mine I dream
we're all looking for comfort but haunted by pain
it takes more than one sleepless night In the rain
all the people gather to see how he lived
but tonight the poet sleeps with me, the poet sleeps.
and how sad is the losers plight, drunk in the streets
to see a flame in the dark gently disappear
we're all looking for someone but fate has its ways
to see the face of love gently move away
all the people gathered to see how he lived
but tonight the poet sleeps with me the poet sleeps
sperae cahi no areal e na hora adversa
que deus concede aos seus para o intervallo
em que esteja a alma immersa em sonhos
que são Deus que importa o areal e a morte
e a desventura se com Deus me guardei?
É O que eu me sonhei que eterno dura É Esse que regressarei.

I Don't Want to be Here Without You
there was a time when we were young and true
we used to have so many points of view
we used to lie on the ground, kiss in the rain
the world outside kept looking in.
you've got a job you said it was for me
but somehow things turned out so differently
we never lie on the ground, kiss in the rain
I don't wanna stay another day
I don't wanna be here without you, another day.
the kitchen clock is hitting half past three
outside the world is looking happy
funny how it can change sunshine to rain
I don't wanna spend another day
I don't wanna be here without you, another day.
there was a time when we were young and true
we never do the things we used to do
funny how it can change love into pain
I don't wanna spend another day
I don't wanna be here without you, another day. |

White Magic for Lovers
leave a candle by his doorstep with a snapshot of his face
turn around and take a deep breath on the first weekend of May
keep a hair strand in your pocket and don't rely on any friend
brew some catalina coffee, with the letters of his name.
white magic for lovers
when all your love has gone away
white magic for lovers
when you hold on, oh you hold on, to your faith.
turn your tears back into water and leave the bottle by his door
with a message undercover saying to the one you love.
white magic for lovers
when all your love has gone away
white magic for lovers
when you hold on to your faith.

The Funeral (But Most of All)
I want to see mountains of snow in July
fireworks crossing across the blue sky
when I go I'm taking a few things with me
and I'd like to go in the late afternoon
with the sun going down to give way to the moon
when I go just make sure I don't feel a thing.
I want dozens of roses surrounding my bed
sad looking faces with pain and regret
when I go I want the whole place painted red
and all my ex-lovers will talk through the night
heartbreaking tales of passion and pride
and they'll say that I had a cunt made of gold.
and I want to go sideways and facing the sun
with money to spend so I can have some fun
when I go those things will matter to me
but please put me somewhere near the sea
with one caring angel waiting for me
he'll be holding my heart in his hand
but most of all I'd like to go with a friend. |

Everything
a Girl Should Have
I could buy me a castle in a country spot
and I could have a house made out of gold
all the things a girl can have have got me feeling so cold
just thought I'd let you know
and I could spend the summer in the south of France
and pretend that life was just one joke
oh to have or to have not, you've got me feeling alone
just thought I'd let you know.
and my life glitter and shine
my heart star-spangled cold
if only I could have one night in your arms then I'll have it all.
I could buy me a diamond and a new guitar
and I could have the longest ring of pearls
all the things a girl should have have got me feeling so cold
just thought I'd let you know
and I could spend my whole life in a crystal bed
or I could travel round and round the world
oh to have or to have not, you've got me feeling alone
I'd thought I'd let you know
and my life glitter and shine
my heart star-spangled cold
if only I could have one night in your arms then I'll have it all.
I could buy me a castle in a country spot. |
