Horizontal Healing
I feel so sick
I can’t get it right
I toss and turn
All thru’ the night
I just can’t
Forget the feeling
What I need is
Horizontal healing.
I can’t sleep
Don’t want to eat
I feel worn
I feel beat
I try and try
Can’t get the meaning
What I need is
Horizontal healing.
You make me laugh
You make me cry
Without you
I think I’ll die
I can’t stand still
I feel like kneeling
What I need is
Horizontal healing.
Dining at The Y
My friends talk of this and that
Staying thin, avoiding fat
So I listen with half an ear
Pack of chips, glass of beer
They can’t see how I’m so thin
So they call me big slim Jim
But tonight when they eat their pie
I’ll be dining at The Y.
Some people like to swallow pills
Ride their bikes, run up hills
Others like to go to class
Work on thighs and tits and ass,
Me I like to play it cool
My momma didn’t raise no fool
So I say with happy sigh
Tonight I’ll be dining at The Y.
Calories don’t come into it
I don’t try, not one bit
Others like to bump and grind
I never pay them any mind
When midnight strokes across the square
I know that I should be elsewhere
So if they ask don’t tell a lie
Say that I’m dining at The Y.
Took my breath away
One night on the downtown freeway
I took the wrong turning home
Went past burnt out buildings
Man, I felt alone
Stopped off at a little bar room
To ask them the way
And I saw her standing there
She took my breath away.
I stayed to talk to her
I stayed with her that night
Where can I find shelter
How can I do what’s right
Her hair was like the night time
Her smile was like the sun
And when she would love me
I felt my life’s begun.
So here I am in Fresno
We’re both killing time
She works the local bar rooms
But I know she’s mine
My past is all behind me
Riches and the wishing well
I’ll spend my days with her
Life without her would be hell.
In the shadows
In the shadows
I watch you
In the shadows
I hide
In the shadows
I love you
In the shadows
You lied.
In the dawn
You were with me
In the dawn
You were there
In the dawn
I still love you
By the night
You weren’t there.
In the half light
I lost you
In the half light
You’d gone
In the lifetime
That follows
My love
Will go on.
C’mon
C’mon feel the force
C’mon feel the noise
C’mon feel the girls
C’mon feel the boys.
Just c’mon
Just c’mon
C’mon feel the rush
C’mon feel the heat
C’mon feel the ground
Shake beneath your feet
Just c’mon
Just c’mon.
C’mon feel the beat
C’mon feel the fun
C’mon feel the street
C’mon feel everyone
Just c’mon
Just c’mon
C’mon feeling free
C’mon when its true
C’mon please feel me
Show me what to do
Just c’mon
Just c’mon.
Babylon Nights
Babylon nights
How I miss you
In my room
I call to you
Babylon days
Spent with you
Everyday
Something new.
Babylon nights
You and me
City lights
Set us free
Babylon days
‘neath the sun
No one pays
Born to run.
Babylon nights
Just us alone
See the dawn
Walking home
Babylon days
Nights so long
Come with me
Can’t go wrong.
I’m too hot
I’m too hot for this town
I can’t get around
Its not cool and I’m no fool
I’m too hot for this town.
I’m too hot for my car
It won’t take me far
It’s not cool and I’m no fool
I’m too hot for my car.
I’m too hot for this place
It’s a real disgrace
It’s not cool and I’m no fool
I’m too hot for this place.
I’m too hot for tonight
I can’t get it right
Its not cool and I’m no fool
I’m too hot for tonight.
I’m too hot for my clothes
You know nothing goes
Its not cool and I’m no fool
I’m too hot for my clothes
I’m too hot for today
I’m gonna run away
It’s not cool and I’m no fool
I’m gonna run away.
You don’t like us
You don’t like us
We don’t like you
You don’t like us
And we don’t care
You don’t want us
And we don’t want you
Who said life was
Ever fair.
You can’t change
We can change you
You can’t teach us
You wouldn’t dare
You don’t listen
When we tell you
Tomorrow you
Won’t be there.
You can’t break us
We will beat you
We will beat you
Over all the land
You can’t hold back
The tide of ages
All you can do
Is make a stand.
Burn baby burn
Burn baby burn
The old life up in flames
Burn baby burn
We won’t play your games
Burn baby burn
Take away the old hate
Burn baby burn
Before it is too late
Set the fire from stem to stern
Burn baby burn.
Burn baby burn
You’d forgotten how to dream
Burn baby burn
Remember how to scream
Burn baby burn
Take away the old ways
Burn baby burn
Set the fire today
You never seemed to want to learn
Burn baby burn.
Burn baby burn
Your old days are gone
Burn baby burn
You held on too long
Burn baby burn
Feel the heat of the night
Burn baby burn
Feel the power of the fight
Its too late for you to turn
Burn baby burn
Burn baby burn
See the passion of the flames
Burn baby burn
You’ll never know our names
Burn baby burn
Your old ways die tonight
Burn baby burn
Feel the power of the light
All you’ve done is gonna burn
Burn baby burn.

Sex and the simple mind
I can’t make the pieces fit
I don’t know what I will find
Things get so confusing
On sex and the simple mind.
I can’t see what’s ahead
I can’t see what’s behind
Will I ever get a grip
On sex and the simple mind.
Sometimes I think that lovers
Are not like me, not blind
I can’t see where I’m going
With sex and the simple mind.
Girls are all around me
Their wishes not defined
I can’t understand them
With sex and the simple mind.
All my friends seem happy
I need someone who’s kind
Someone to take me in hand
For sex and the simple mind.
Run for the shadows.
Run for the shadows
Run for the rain
Run for the dark nights
Run from the pain.
Run from the teacher
Who teaches you lies
Run from the mother
Who sees in your eyes.
Run for the shelter
Of what you can see
When you run
Just run to me.
Run for the shelter
Of my arms
Hell for leather
I’ll keep you from harm.
Run from the life
That you hold so dear
But run to me
I’ll take your fear.
So live the dream
So live the dream
And seize the day
And win each scene
And hold sway
And learn to fight
To keep what’s good
Do what’s right
Don’t shed your blood.
So leave me here
Be strong of heart
Don’t shed hot tears
‘cos we must part
And always know
That I love you
Where ’er you go
I’ll be with you.
Nicky says
Nicky says
I want you tonight
Christine says
She’ll do it right
Jenny calls
Promises all
Jackie wants
To give it all
Chorus
What do I do
What do I say
‘cos they all want
To give it away
Give it away
Yes they all want
To give it away.
Jenny says
Come to me
Cathy says
Come and see
Erin calls
Says she’s the one
But I just want
To have some fun.
What do I do
What do I say
‘cos they all want
To give it away
Give it away
Yes they all want
To give it away.
Annie texts
Me every hour
Julie says
She’ll feel my power
Pretty girls
Every one
They all want
To have some fun.
I wanna do it now
Do it on the desk
Do it in the dark
That’s how I like it best
Do it in the bedroom
Do it in the hall
Do it in the kitchen
Do it up the wall
I wanna do it
Just do it.
I wanna do it here
Do it with you
Do it all night long
Do it just us two
Do it in the garden
Do it in the car
Do it in the cupboard
Do it in the park
I wanna do it
Just do it.
I wanna do it now
Do it where we stand
Do it on our own
Do it hand in hand
Do it to me now
Do it here with me
Do it understand
No one will see
I wanna do it
Just do it.
Its in my genes
You asked me why
I’m not like you
You asked me what
I’m gonna do
You tell me not
To make a scene
I can’t help it
Its in my genes.
You walk to me
Like I’m insane
You talk to me
Like it’s a pain
You talk to me
Here in my dreams
I can’t help it
It’s in my genes
You tell me to
Settle down
You tell me that
I’m a clown
You tell me
That I shouldn’t dream
I can’t help it
Its in my genes.
You don’t like me
Around your child
You just think that
I’m running wild
When she’s with me
She lost her jeans
She can’t help it
She’s got my genes.
Come on, come on
C’mon c’mon
Come to me
C’mon c’mon
Set me free
C’mon c’mon
Just let go
C’mon c’m
Don’t say no.
C’mon c’mon
C’mon tonight
C’mon c’mon
It’ll be alright
C’mon c’mon
Night and day
C’mon c’mon
Don’t go away.
C’mon c’mon
You’ll be mine
C’mon c’mon
It’ll be so fine
C’mon c’mon
Stay tonight
C’mon c’mon
‘til morning light.
C’mon c’mon
Lets get away
c’mon c’mon
Its another day
C’mon c’mon
Look and see
C’mon c’mon
Just be with me.
You see
You see
I know
That you’ve been lying
I know
You see
Me as a fool
Well I
Don’t care
If you’re crying
You see
I know
I broke the rules.
Now you
Can see
That I’m singing
I don’t
Just care
About you
So what
I say
Cos I’m winning
Why should
I care
About you.
So go
Just go
I don’t want you
Don’t hang
Round here
Round my door
I’ve gone
You stayed
The more fool you
You won’t
See me
Anymore.
Come to daddy
Come to daddy
Come to daddy now
Come to daddy
Let me show you how
Come to daddy
‘cos daddy loves you
Come to daddy
Learn something new.
Come to daddy
Come to daddy child
Come to daddy
Let me drive you wild
Come to daddy
Show daddy all your charms
Come to daddy
Come to daddy’s arms.
Come to daddy
Come to daddy girl
Come to daddy
Best daddy in the world
Come to daddy
Feel the burn inside
Come to daddy
Rest here by my side.
