Goldeneye

See reflections on the water
more than darkness in the depths
see him surface in every shadow
on the wind I feel his breath

Goldeneye I found his weakness
Goldeneye he'll do what I please
Goldeneye no time for sweetness
but a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees

You'll never know how I watched you
from the shadows as a child
you'll never know how it feels to be the one
who's left behind
You'll never know the days, the nights,
the tears, the tears I've cried
but now my time has come
and time, time is not on your side

See him move through smoke and mirrors
feel his presence in the crowd
other girls they gather around him
if I had him I wouldn't let him out

Goldeneye not lace or leather
Golden chains take him to the spot
goldeneye I'll show him forever
it'll take forever to see
what I've got

You'll never know how I watched you
from the shadows as a child
you'll never know how it feels to be so close
and be denied
It's a gold and honey trap
I've got for you tonight
Revenge it's a kiss, this time I won't miss
now I've got you in my sight
With a Goldeneye, golden, goldeneye
with a goldeneye, goldeneye.

Afterglow

I need you here beside me to chase the night away
I need your love to guide me safe through another day
I lie and watch the lights go down
Say goodnight to another town
And though it hurts to be alone
I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm
In the afterglow of your love
Dreaming's all I'm guilty of
Everyday I'm playing tough
But read my mind

Chorus:
If you could see me now
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
The me that only you would know
Still burning in the afterglow

When the beat of the drum has faded
The show comes to an end
The stage is cleared and loaded
And the highway calls again
I stand and watch the lights go down
In the afterglow of your love
Dreaming's all I'm guilty of
Everyday I'm playing tough
But read my mind

Chorus
If you could see me now

Stay with me right to the end
Till I can hold you again

Chorus

 

Back Where You Started

Baby tell me what you're trying to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen, I ain't gonna take one more night
You're the one who broke the rules
And I'm the one who played the fool
Now you're trying to tell me it's alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
You'll never get another chance again

Chorus:
You'll be back where you started
I know you won't admit it but you're broken-hearted
Back where you started
You think it's gonna be easy but it just gets harder, harder

You had a way with words
One look and I was under your spell
I didn't know should I stay or should I run
You can't deny you told me lies
Love'em and leave'em baby, that's your style
I'm not afraid to take life as it comes
You play with fire I guess you'll never learn
You mess with me babe, you 're gonna get burned

Chorus:
You'll be back where you started
Then you'll know how it feels when you've been discarded
Back where you started
You think you got it made but it won't get you far, no it won't get you far

Who's gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime
I'll tell you one thing, you've really done it this time
You took your one chance and let it slip away
You're not the kind who'll ever settle down
The rumour's getting out all over town
You'll be...

Chorus

Girls

Girls, we come and we go
We kiss, come and we go
Like a breeze, brushing your cheek
Like pain, like the tears on a face

Chorus:
Girls, we come and we go
Like spirits, we vanish at dawn
My heart, suspended in time
Like you, vanish like tears in the rain

Girls, we take our loves away
Like spirits living so far away
Girls, pretending to break down and cry
Girls, whispering wind, what are we giving away
We used to be so happy
Remember, remember, so happy
I never knew, how lonely, how lonely
How lonely could feel

I'll Be Thunder

There'll be a storm one night
And I will fly to you for shelter
Soaked in welcome rain
Falling to forbidden arms
Too breathless
Too helpless
Too restless to explain
Needing you
There'll be a storm one night
But you will find my place of hiding
We'll watch the lights like children
Leave the fortress hand in hand
I'll be thunder
You'll be lightning
I'll be thunder
You'll be lightning
And we'll collide
On dry land
There'll be a storm one night
And I will find no other rescue
Lost and far from home
Crying for some guiding light
Too reckless
Too helpless
Too hungry to refrain
>From needing you
There'll be a storm one night
The wind will drive me to your castle
And you'll ignite the fire
Just as if everything were planned
I'll be thunder
You'll be lightning
I'll be thunder
You'll be lightning
And we'll collide on dry land
I'll be thunder
You'll be lightning
There'll be a storm one night
No betrayal
No denial
No need to explain
We'll collide

Overnight Sensation

Well I guess I been a long time
Working in the back line
Trying to make a song fit
You know it never was mine
Two dollar high-heel and a honky tonk dress
In the rhythm and soul revues
I had a dream, I guess
Yes, Yes

And I had to beat the stagefright
I had to cry all night
Tryin' to make a song fit
You know it never was right
I said "Girl, get up and get out of this mess
You're gonna be and overnight sensation
Be an overnight success"

And all through the badlands
Rockin' on the bandstands
It's so hard in the bar bands
When there's no-one there who understands
And Lady Luck'll pass you by
And she'll never say "Yes
You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Gonna be an overnight success"

Well I used to be a sweet little rock 'n' roll singer
Chasing after fortune and fame
What's your story? What's your payola?
Me, I'm in the music game

Well I guess I've been a long time
Workin' in the backline
Tryin' to make a song fit
You know it never was mine
What can I tell you
I made a break I guess
Now I'm an overnight sensation
I'm an over overnight
I'm an over overnight success

Paradise Is Here

You say you want to live some
move out into the fast lane

You say yov need excitement to make you come alive.
Some place a million miles from the shadows that surround you

I look for you attention
you're lost out in the future.
Where lovers ask no questions and shadows never fall

Some pilgrim bound for paradise
no compromise.

But paradise is here
it's time to stop your crying

The future is this moment and not some place out there.
Tonight I need your love
don't talk about tomorrow

Right now I need your loving
right now - so give it to me

Right now I want your loving
right now - now
now
now
now.

You talk about your new plans to move on up the stairway

You dream about the high life that's waiting ror you there.
A world of fame and fortune that's just around tne corner

But I don't need no high life to make me feel a woman

And I don't need to reach for no castles in the sky.
Just put your arms around me
devour me.

'Cause paradise is here
it's time to stop your crying
. . .

 

Two People

Two people living on the edge of life
are people running out of dreams and time.
I can hear it when you tell me so
I can feel it but I can't let go.

Two people gotta stick together

love one another
save it for a rainy day.
Some people gotta stay whatever

give one another shelter on a rainy day.

Two people living in the way we do
are people trying to keep a love a new.
What to say to make some sense of it

what to do to make the feeling fit.
Two people gotta stick together
...

I'll come running to your rescue
you gotta stand by me.
There's a lot of love between us
we should never let go.

Two people gotta stick together
...
Two people gotta stick together
...
Two people gotta stick together
...
Two people gotta stick together

Typical Male

Tell me lawyer
what to do

I think I'm fallin' in love with you

Defend me from the way I feel.
Won't you give me some advice how to handle my private life

I'm sure that we can make a deal.
I confess I'm a fool for a man with a clever mind

But your intellect ain't no match for this heart of mine.
All I want is a little reaction
just enough to tip the scales.
I'm just usin' my female attraction on a typical male

on a typical male.

Your sense of justice in embrace

your defense don't help in my case

I'm deep in trouble with the law.
Something about authority seems to bring out the bad in me

Hey lawyer
gotta catch me when I fall.
Oh
they say that you match your wits with the best of them

But I know when I'm close you're just like the rest of them.
All I want is a little reaction
just enough ta tip the scales.
I'm just usin' my female attraction on a typical male

on a typical male.

So put your books aside

Loosen up your suit and tie

Open up your heart and let me in

Open up your heart and let me in!
All I want is a little reaction

Just enough to tip the scales.
I'm just usin' my female attraction

On a typical male
on a typical male.
I'm just usin' my feminine charm
On a typical male
on a typical -
All I want is a little reaction

Just enough to tip the scales.
I'm just usin' my female attraction
On a typical male
on a typical -
All I want - little reaction - just enough - .

 

Falling Like Rain

Really brings me down, I don't know how
That you can say you're not my kind
Couldn't find a cloud for miles around
Why do you change your story line
It all goes gray again sometimes I don't know when
To come out of the storm
It feels like forty days and forty nights I've been
Beating on your door
I'm falling like rain
Oh I, I love ya, love ya, love ya
Falling like rain
Oh I, I'm coming down around ya
I will always think about you
My sentimental ways don't seem to phase you
I don't ever wanna force your hand
If you met me one time, just half the way
I could meet you where you are
Just meet me where I am
Cause every now and then you've gotta drive right in
Deeper than deep
You take a chance and then you give the wheel a spin
Anyone can see
I'm falling like rain
Oh I, I love ya, love ya, love ya
Falling like rain
Oh I, I'm coming down around ya
I will always think about you

 

Foreign Affair

A one in a million chance
You know the moment that you crossed over the line
A casual glance
No one has to read between the lines
In the south of France it was spring time
Special feelings come alive
There's romance in the air, so they say
Love could be a small cafe away
Love is a piece of cake
And making love is all there is to eat
It's a heart out of a lamb
When yoy start to feel forever in a kiss
But you must remember there's no point of refuge
You only have a part in a lover's play
And you could be the one left in the dark
If someone takes a shortcut to your heart
All too soon you're touching for the last time
No one has to tell you how it is
It's just a memory two people share
File it under foreign affair

Steamy Windows

I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
Me and my baby was just getting right
All our systems on overload
Radio blasting in the front seat
Turning out the music fine
We was snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
You can wine and dine with a man all night
With good intent
But there is something about a confrontation on a back road
Breaks down the defense
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
There's a sound outside the front door
And I know that's just the wind
And it makes him snuggle up just a little bit closer
And start things happening again
Steamy windows, ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows, coming from the body heat

The Best

I'll call youIf i need you
My heart's on fire
You come to meCome to me wild and wired
Oh you come to me
Give me everything i need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
Speak the language of love like you know what it means
Oh and you can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong baby

You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone i ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby I would rather be dead

In your heartI see the starsEvery night and everyday
In your eyesI get lost
I get washed away
Just as long as i'm here in your armsI could be in no other place

Your're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone i ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Oh, tear us apart no no no
Baby i would rather be dead

Each time you leave me i start losing control
You're walking away w/ my heart and my soul
I could feel you even when i'm alone
Oh baby, never go

Oh simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone i ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby i would rather be dead
Oh you're the best

 

Addicted To Love

The lights are on but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your body sweats your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't eat you can't sleep
There's no doubt you're in deep
Your throat is tight you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Oh you like to think that you're immune to the stuff oh yeah
It's closer to the truth
You know you're gonna have to face it
You're addicted to love
You might as well face it you're addicted to love

You see the signs but you can't read
You're running at a different speed
Your heart beats at double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine one track mind
You can't be saved another young love is all you crave
And if the sun left you you don't mind it feels blue
Oh you like to think that you're immune to the stuff oh yeah
It's closer to the truth
You know you're gonna have to face itYou're addicted to love
Gonna have to face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it you're addicted to love (4x)
Might as well face it (3x)
Might as well face it you're addicted to love

Your lights are on but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your body sweats your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't eat you can't sleep
There's no doubt you're in deep
Your throat is tight you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Oh you like to think that you're immune to the stuff oh yeah
It's closer to the truth
You know you're gonna have to face it
You might as well face it
You're addicted to love
You might as well face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it
Might as well face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it (4x)

Better Be Good to Me

A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I`m captured by your spell captured
Oh yes I'm touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should I, should I
Oh you better be good to me
That`s how it`s got to be now
Cause I don`t have no use
For what you loosely call the truth
Oh you better be good to me
Yes you better be good to me
And I think it`s only right
That we don`t meet at night
We stand face to face
And you present your case
And I know you keep telling me that you love me
And I really do want to believe
But did you think I`d just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe anything to please you
Oh you better be good to me
That`s how it`s got to be now
Cause I don`t have the time for your over loaded lines
Yes you better be good to me
Yes you better be good to me
And I really don`t see
Why it`s so hard to be
Good to meAnd I don`t understand
What`s your plan
That you can`t
Be good to me

 

Private Dancer

Well the men come in these places
and the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
and you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
keeping your eyes on the wall
[chorus:]
I'm your private dancer
a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer
a dancer for money
and any old music will do
I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
and the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
and you don't ask their names
[chorus, repeat]
Dutchmarks or dollars
American Express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?
[chorus]
All the men come in these places
and the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
and you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
no, you don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
keeping your eyes on the wall
[chorus, repeat]
I'm your private dancer, dancer for money
just a private dancer, dancer for money
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
just a private dancer, dancer for money

Steel Claw

It's just a television wonderland
just one more fairytale about a rich bitch lyin' by the swimming pool
Life is so cool
Easy living when you make the rules
Last Friday was the first time, it only
took about half a minute on the stairway
It was child's play
The odds come out even
when you give up believing in the
[chorus:]
Cold law
Steel claw
Try to get on board you'll find the lock is on the door
and I say no way... no way...
don't try to get out, or there'll be hell to pay!
I don't know who's right, who's wrong
It really doesn't matter when you're lying in the gutter
it's a see-saw
A long hard battle with the cold law
is what you get for messing with the steel claw
The politicians have forgotten this place, except for
flying visits in a black Mercedes on election time
they cross the line
and everybody runs to miss the pantomime
If you could see what's going on around here,
so many people hanging on the edge
crying out for revolution, retrobution
The odds come out even
when you give up believeing in the
[chorus]
Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
Sometimes I do a line, makes me laugh,
makes me wanna take a joy ride
on the high tide
Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide
Meanwhile, Eddy's on the west coast
I hear he's making out with some sweet senorita up in Frisco
You and I know
The odds come out even
when you give up believing in the
[chorus]

 

Love Thing

Saw you there so confused
I know that I could make my move now
Treading softly I walked over to you
We talked about this thing called love

And I knew your heart was in it
Oh let me take you there
Let me take you there tonight

Get on board get on my love thing
Gonna drive you wild
I wanna show you I wanna hear you sing
Baby get on my love thing right now

Close your eyes follow me
I'll show you a world you've never been toTake a ride in my love machine
And I won't do anything you can't get into
What I got is what you need
And you won't do a thing about it
Oh let me take you there
Let me take you there tonight

Get on board get on my love thing
Gonna drive you wild
I wanna show you I wanna hear you sing
Baby get on my love thing right now

I never want you to go
I always want you to stay
So c'mon baby c'mon now c'mon now c'mon ...

Saw your eyes open wide
And I knew your heart was in it
Oh let me take you there
Let me take you there tonight

Get on board get on my love thing
Gonna drive you wild
I wanna show you I wanna hear you sing
Baby get on my love thing right now
...

 

Way Of The World

Baby I need a hand to hold tonight
And one bright star to remind me
How dear is this life
Baby I've never known anyone like you
There's something very special about you
I can't imagine living without you

It's the way of the world and it's motion
And no ocean can keep us apart
When the moment is right
And you're holding me tight
You capture the beat of my heart
In my heart there's a fire that's burning
And there isn't a thing I can do
I'm resigned to the fact
That there's no turning back
And I'll never regret loving you

Baby I will go anywhere you lead
As long as you're there beside me
Baby that's all I need
Hold me hold me and never let me go
I'm always gonna care about you
I never wanna be without you

It's the way of the world and it's motion
And no ocean can keep us apart
When the moment is right
And you're holding me tight
You capture the beat of my heart
In my heart there's a fire that's burning
And there isn't a thing I can do
I'm resigned to the fact
That there's no turning back
And I'll never regret loving you

You're everything I believe in
Don't ever lose the feeling
Don't ever lose the feeling no

It's the way of the world and it's motion
And no ocean can keep us apart
When the moment is right
And you're holding me tight
You capture the beat of my heart
In my heart there's a fire that's burning
And there isn't a thing I can do
I'm resigned to the fact
That there's no turning back
And I'll never regret loving you
It's the way of the world
The way of the world

River Deep Mountain High

River Deep Mountain High
When I was a little girl I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
And it gets deeper let me say
And it gets higher day by day
And do I love you my oh my
Yeah river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby baby baby baby
When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No, I'll never let you down
'Cause it grows stronger like a river ?ows
And it gets bigger baby and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby as it grows
And do I love you, my oh my
Yeah river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby baby baby baby
I love you baby like a ?ower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby river deep mountain high
Do I love you my oh my oh baby
River deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby baby baby baby
