- Fashion
- Two Weeks
- I’m The One
I need a suitable way to say
You’re a moon rock alpha ray
I cut your pinup from Hit Parade
And wish emissions will come my way
I get the feeling I hit the ground
My world is spinning around and round
It’s the spell of a mystic sound
Yeah you’re the wizard and mage from beyond
I’m the one that’s right where you belong
I’m the one that would like to turn you on
I’m the one tonight for you
I’m the one I’m the one
I need a suitable way to say
You’re a moonlight roundelay
I cut your pinup from Hit Parade
And wish emissions will come my way
I get the feeling I hit the ground
My world is spinning around and round
It’s the spell of a mystic sound
Yeah you’re the wizard and mage from beyond
I’m the one that’s right where you belong
I’m the one that would like to turn you on
I’m the one tonight for you
I’m the one I’m the one
I don’t want the wicked to boast
But I’m the one that wets your sister at sold out shows
I get the rocks to roll
I go with you into war
I go in one by one
All I really wish you is love
I was lonely
Cast the first stone
Don’t show your hands to me I know where you’ve been
You say you was borderline
Outcast and concubine
Mixed up your friends and mine and did what you did
Yeah me I was holding out
Lest you should come around
Then I grew sober and I did what I did
Still I am lonely and I can’t find my coat can’t cross back to shore
and in case you care what I think
Hell I’m back and forth
I can’t tell which one’s worse yet
Growing cruel to each other
Or stand crying there’s no other
I was lonely
Passed my way home
Don’t put your glass to me you know what this is
You say you was always right
Mixed up but more the wise
Sipped down your holy wine and did what you did
Yeah me I was waiting on
The chance that you’d come around
Then I took over and I did what I did
Still I am lonely and I can’t find my coat can’t get up off the floor
And if you care what I think
Hell I’m back and forth
I can’t tell which one’s worse yet
Growing cruel to each other
Or stand crying there’s no other
I get so mixed up so sad I can’t tell which one’s worse
I’m hoping that you’ll come back home this time
It’s the same hasn’t changed
I still can’t explain why I feel so ashamed
I don’t care so much now baby I don’t want to complicate it
I only want you there to see that I love you when I forget about me
Hell I’m back and forth
I can’t tell which one’s worse yet
Growing cruel to each other
Or stand crying there’s no other
Hell I’m back and forth
I can’t tell which one’s worse yet
Growing cruel to each other
Or stand crying there’s no other
Don’t have your fitness
Don’t see the same results
I taste your kiss kiss
And tear your clothes right off
I wear your button fly
I’m in your dress tonight
Take your hat off
My head’s too big
But I pull it off don’t you think?
It really suits me is what I mean
Je nes pa tons sportif
Je nes vous par les meme resultant
Je gut de ton bezere
Je dechere te vetemente
I wear your button fly
I’m in your dress tonight
Take your hat off
My head’s too big
But I pull it off don’t you think?
It really suits me is what I mean
I come in I’m into your skin with a passion
Cause it fits right there’s no need to fight for your fashion
Two weeks from home
That’s where my lover’s alone in bed
Whoa hey
She said she’s gonna escape today
Gonna make it a break for it
And run to stall this ordinary robot roulette for a day
I’m on your side when you’re running away
We both like to get lost and start over again
You can’t hide from no soldier in a war that has no end
Through we try we’re pushovers
We just hitchhike our way back to what we know
And so it goes
Two weeks alone
I said my lover has gone again
Whoa hey
She says she wants to erase the day
Today she’s gonna just waste away
And run to stall what she knows is very well by know all took away
I’m on your side when you’re running away
We both like to get lost and start over again
You can’t hide from no soldier in a war that has no end
Through we try we’re pushovers
We just hitchhike our way back to what we know
And so it goes
I’m on your side when you’re running away
We both like to get lost and start over again
You can’t hide from no soldier in a war that has no end
Through we try we’re pushovers
Gonna kick it, it’s original sin you know
I can’t let you want to walk alone
I won’t get you back from what you’re going to
You’ll do what you want
Now that a rose is the cancer I know
Black in the night she come asking for more
Summer a squall and the banshee she moans
Come measure this pleasure without your good sense
It’s almost never what you may want to have guessed
No you you’re good you’re good you’re good you’re good you’re good you’re good
Astor the moon she rests her face on the floor
She came in through the window
Now that she’s out she rolls her way to the door
She got farther than we know
Into the light a dresser spills out a drawer
Just like a casino
We’ve test the pressure of the water and air
It’s almost better now you’re with her in there
No you you’re good you’re good you’re good you’re good you’re good you’re good
This I swear you’re the only one I’d risk my fortune and heir for
If you’re good to me
When I compare all my lonliness to chance of what may be
I see I’m a fool to care
Let me get some water it’s for days that I’ve been walking to hold you
Did you wake up in your car again you smell of English gin but I still want you
What you got to do what can see you through don’t effect my devotion
It’s the singer and his song not the way he carries on in the ocean
Tell me where you’re going let me stay here ‘til it’s morning why don’t you
When I wake up next to nothing then I’ll take my records home just to show you
What you got to lose what you got to prove and to what can I hold you
If you think you’d make your way just the same then I don’t wanna know
Yeah I love you
You know I want you
Girl what I say is all true
I got to wait to show you
Let me hear you holler let me see you at your hottest why don’t you?
M: well if you say it’s alright
Could you wrestle that guitar in a fit you look a star well now don’t you?
M: if I can make it all night
What you got to do what can see you through don’t affect my devotion
If you think you’d make your way just the same then I don’t wanna know
No I don’t wanna know
Yeah I love you
You know I want you
Girl what I say is all true
I got to wait to show you
If I could love you much faster
If I’ve not lost you now have I
Since I still want you I ask well
Which is the worst that could happen
Yeah I love you
You know I want you
Girl what I say is all true
I got to wait to show you
Dog track lost in the bend
Against your loan shark criminal friends
I’m the soapbox standing on end
Come on
Burnt out easy to tame
Cause you’re old now and beat into shame
That’s the mad cow calling your name
Come on come on
Hey gentle soul there’s no action and it shows
Cause you feel like a doggy and lift your leg and piss when told
Let out all the doggies and speak what’s on your mind man
Understand no consequence
Blind or deaf to commonsense
Man child boxed in since birth
Like a space dog fastened to earth
And you pray far more than it’s worth
Come on
Landslide caught underneath
And the state blasts your favorite cd
Yeah the faint sound is all that you need
Come on come on
Hey gentle soul there’s no action and it shows
Cause you feel like a doggy and lift your leg and piss when told
Let out all the doggies and speak what’s on your mind man
Understand no consequence
Blind or deaf to commonsense
Filtered wine and frankincense
Careless lies no promises
I dress you wolves like a lover I dress you wolves like a saint
I get you wool for your cover I get you room to walk the range
I bet you eels like to suffer I bet you eels like it strange
I let you bleed ‘til you’re covered then I tell you it’s alright
I tell you it’s alright
I’m gonna make you love me
I make you make you monkey
I’m gonna make you love me
I make you make you monkey
I let your horse like a struggle I let your horse fight the reins
I let your horse like the trouble I went to Troy and unlocked the gate
I let you in like a Roman I let you in like a stray
I wet your ears like a shaman yeah I tell you it’s alright
I tell you it’s alright
I’m gonna make you love me
I make you make you monkey
I’m gonna make you love me
I make you make you monkey
Don’t want your understanding anymore
I got fistfuls in my hands to enjoy
So release me if you can
You got your police grip in my pants I ignored
I wondered what words won’t make you cry ‘til now
I wanted to want you in my life somehow
I’m losing a look that was in my eyes
Lovers are strangers in disguise for a while
But now it’s over let go of it
Our love gets colder the closer we get
Now child don’t hold on cause you know we’re only gonna get older
I feel a bit better everyday
I wish you would wake up feeling the same
But I got to relate
If not for your fitness when I’d fall
But cause you remained a witness when I was drunk
But now it’s over let go of it
Our love gets colder the closer we get
Now child don’t hold on cause you know we’re only gonna get older
I been aching to show you
don’t forget what I told you
I can wing it alone and resist your love
I’ve been aching to show you I can wing it alone
I can wait so I’ll hug you and sing you one last song
Then I should break cause I know you
And how you drag this on and on and on and on and on
All better now all better now all better now
All better now all better now all better now
I get the shakes all hours and through Christmas
I can’t afford the tic that got the best of me last winter
Want what it takes to have the confidence of politicians
To cross a line a state inside a shout or in a whisper
The weight is all there’s to consider
So trim away the fat let the spray spill out the blister
All better now all better now all better now
All better now all better now all better now
I get away south Africa to Rio
I been around the bend I let the hours pass like minutes
I’m awake to navigate the shuttle
My Lexington connect gave me a break for all my trouble
The weight is all there’s to consider
To get the good to last you got to give into the wish
I won’t break I’ll last until the finish
Now get yourself together
Got to sip from what you’re given
All better now all better now all better now
All better now all better now all better now
I pulled these drapes walked these floors once before
At first I couldn’t place it but now I’m sure of it
And down the street now it occurs to me
There should be pairs of shoes hung from wires in memorial
That’s all I can recollect from east to west
I got to move or get on to where I’m going
K: so where you gonna go?
I could swear we were close to home
Or am I on Jupiter just waving my arms at you
K: I s.o.s. across the universe
I got this bit rehearsed
Don’t know which signals that I’m throwing talking robotics to nobody
I s.o.s. across the universe
I get you all to watch til we get heard
I shut these gates locked these doors braced for more
And it first I couldn’t face it get on with it I told you
I got wherewithal to leap from beach to beach
I got the shoes not the fire of a warrior
So I keep sifting through this sand from fist to hand
And I’ll keep digging at my seat ‘til the waters meet
And below below I hear them s.o.s. beneath from each to each
I s.o.s. across the universe
I get you all to watch til we get heard
Now once the worlds start to roll
I get a little below
Just a little bit too low
Right this way I want to feel this rain
