Something Good 03:09
lyrics

SOMETHING GOOD I spread honey on my toast Had a talk with my father’s ghost Something good Something good is coming Disappeared for two hours In the rain picking wild flowers - tiger lilies Something good Something good is coming Something fine All mine all mine I can share with the ones I love Something real I feel like the one thing I knew I was Something good Dumped my coffee down the drain Took a drive down the middle lane - windows open Something good is coming Cross the Delaware Cross the Hudson Down the Harlem River drive Twilight breathing Something good is coming Something fine All mine all mine I can share with the ones I love Something real I feel like the one thing I knew I was Something good

You Turn Me On 03:56
lyrics

YOU TURN ME ON Is it me Or does the moon look like a tangerine tonight? I feel free And I’m so high that I could fly and take a bite And it turns me on You turn me on like no one else I know And I know an awful lot of people You turn me on like no one else I know And I know an awful lot of people Does it seem A paisley sky’s about to cry and breathe us in? In a dream I laid you down and licked the raindrops off your skin And it turned me on You turn me on like no one else I know And I know an awful lot of people You turn me on like no one else I know And I know an awful lot of people Every little move Every little touch And I feel you spinning me off the ground Every little kiss Every little sigh Echos in my head when you’re not around And it turns me on You turn me on like no one else I know And I know an awful lot of people You turn me on like no one else I know And I know an awful lot of people

Where's My Yoko? 03:59
lyrics

WHERE'S MY YOKO? I feel like Nixon at a cocktail party I’ll only smile until it hurts How I wish that I could shrug my shoulders I think I left the hanger in my shirt And like a blind man at silent movie There’s truly nothing I can say You really dished me up some food for thought Popcorn at a drive in matinee Where’s my Yoko? Don’t we all deserve someone who gets what we are all about Where’s my Yoko? I can wait a little longer... Two chilly shadows in the early darkness You held my hand in Central Park Tracing patterns in the NY skyline The wind blew through your hair and through my heart Where’s my Yoko? Don’t we all deserve someone who gets what we are all about Where’s my Yoko? I can wait a little longer... I wait but you never come I’m home but you never call It feels like eternity's burning away But it’s just another cigarette Why? Where’s my Yoko? Don’t we all deserve someone who gets what we are all about Where’s my Yoko? Someone who can talk in bed and pull the music from my head Where’s my Yoko? I can wait a little longer...

People Are People 03:48
lyrics
buy track
PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE Look at all these people Everybody’s different, everyone’s the same All these people Everyone just wants to whisper someone’s name People are people and love is love You know that it’s true and you can’t deny it You’re waving the rule book from up above We love what we found, we don’t want to hide it And what if all this hate could turn itself to knowledge? When you look for the good in someone else You find what’s good within yourself. People are people - People are people... Marriage is marriage and ties are ties A hand in a hand, the future’s upon us They’re searching for serpents with apple pies There’s no evil here, there’s only a promise That one day all this fear will turn itself to freedom When you open your mind and blur your eyes A word is worth a thousand pictures People are people - People are people... And love is love I know it You can see the way a room lights up the minute you show it. Love is love, I’ve seen it Who cares who you say “I love you” to as long as you mean it? People are people - People are people... And one day all this pain will turn itself to pleasure Look for the good in someone else You’ll find what’s good within yourself People are people - People are people...

SATURDAY GIRL There was time when I’d be happy to be with you anytime at all But Friday’s my heart is restless There’s something I’m waiting for it never comes I wanna be your Saturday Girl The one that you call before anyone Wanna be your Saturday Girl The one you look forward to and dress up for Wanna be your Saturday Girl Maybe we meet on Monday And Tuesday you tell me, Wednesday is alright But Saturday night’s the laundry I’m thinking how close we were and you’re out with her I wanna be your Saturday Girl The one that you call before anyone Wanna be your Saturday Girl The one you look forward to and dress up for Wanna be your Saturday Girl Tea with Sunday paper Yell at the toaster Stare at the phone Are you still there with her Did you wake up alone Drinks in the dark on Thursday I put on some music, some lipstick and a smile You whisper you’re free on Sunday But I want the one day that you never say I wanna be your Saturday Girl The one that you call before anyone Wanna be your Saturday Girl The one you look forward to and dress up for Wanna be your Saturday Girl I want the one day that you never say: Saturday

Nobody Says Sweetheart Anymore 04:09

NOBODY SAYS SWEET HEART ANYMORE I wanna be your star I wanna be your moon Glow on your pillow Crawl down your sheets and sleep like spoons And when the morning comes I wanna shine your sun Rain in your shower Steam up your tea and breathe on you But nobody says sweet heart anymore And nobody says I do Nobody says sweet heart anymore Sweetheart do you? Call me a pirate's fool Steal all my treasure too But don't call me fickle My offers stand as tried and true for you But nobody says sweet heart anymore And nobody says I do Nobody says sweet heart anymore Sweet heart do you? Tried to forget it I tried to let go Sometimes that's a hard thing to do The world that we know Is not always as it's seen through other's eyes I wish you could see through mine Would you? Could you? But nobody says sweet heart anymore And nobody says I do Nobody says sweet heart anymore Sweetheart do you?

THE GIRL'S ROMANTIC This is the girl who hears symphonies in windy trees Sings with the band “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” does the harmonies And when it rains – it rains roses and tomorrow will be a better day The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic nothing you can do The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic but her love is true This is the girl wishing on falling stars that are aeroplanes Smiles at the sky, buys her self a bouquet when she gets off the train And when she cries, she cries softly And the orchestra knows just when to play The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic nothing you can do The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic but her love is true Funny thing in paradise You can never break your heart the same way twice That’s why you go back again For just one smile Just one smile Just one smile This is the girl who walked with you on the moon And kissed your cheek last night Don’t you think twice Love isn’t blind, it’s just in black and white And when it rains – it rains roses And tomorrow could be a gorgeous a day The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic nothing you can do The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic but her love is true And so’s her smile So’s her smile So’s her smile

I CONFESS When I said I wasn’t serious I wasn’t serious And when I crossed my heart and hoped to die Baby - I lied Don’t be mad at me I did my best But when you touch me I get helpless I confess maybe I think about you I confess baby you might be the one I confess I could build my house around you I confess maybe I’m in love When I said I’d be your acrobat I was your diplomat Keeping secrets sleeping deep inside Baby - I tried Don’t be scared of me I’m not like the rest I won’t get you feeling restless I confess maybe I think about you I confess baby you might be the one I confess I could build my house around you I confess maybe I’m in love And there’s worst things that could happen to you Worse things than my love Worst things that could happen to you Worse things than my love When I said I’d never fall for love I dropped my boxing gloves ‘Cause I can’t fight you when my hands are tied Baby - I tried Don’t be mad at me I did my best But when you touch me I get helpless I confess maybe I think about you I confess baby you might be the one I confess I could build my house around you I confess maybe I’m in love

GETAWAY CAR Slept on a plane – sat on the runway Knock on the door – pray in the hallway Mind if I come in – Woo Hoo Flew like the moon – fell like a rocket Heart on my sleeve – cash in my pocket Penny for your thoughts – Woo hoo! Does it seem the stars are all in line? Shiny stepping stones to my next crime You driving the getway car Speeding like the banshee you are Take me to a neighborhood Where the Chinese food is good and no one’s watching Two in the tub – two in the morning Somebody smiles - somebody’s yawning May I have this dance? - Woo hoo Fighting a cold – fighting a dragon Half in the bag – half on the wagon One more for the road - Woo Hoo! Does it seem the stars are all in line? Shiny stepping stones to my next crime You driving the getway car Speeding like the banshee you are Take me to a neighborhood Where the Chinese food is good and no one’s watching I don’t know who’s flying the kite or if the kite is flying me Tell me what’s true Lately I’m thinking the kite is right What if we care if it’s in the air And the sky is blue? Bonnie and Clyde - all they can carry Hailing the cab – hailing Mary Blessed is this ride, woo hoo Does it seem the stars are all in line? Shiny stepping stones to my next crime You driving the getway car Speeding like the banshee you are Take me to a neighborhood Where the Chinese food is good and no one’s watching

TO THE END OF THE WORLD Picnic lunch romantic brunch strawberries and Ready Whip™ And the shadow of the bomb Can I offer you some lemonade, a kiss, a little chocolate cherry napalm Why is it so hard to have a good time? We choke on the pieces of the promises we broke so long ago I am ready for a good time Why can’t we relax and let it go? What if I love you? What if I love you to the end of the world? What if I love you? What if I love you to the end of the world? Late at night I hold you tight True love in the glow of an air raid siren serenade Can I offer you asylum in this cardboard box refrigerator castle that I made? Why is it so hard to have a good time? We choke on the pieces of the promises we broke so long ago I am ready for a good time Why can’t we relax and let it go? What if I love you? What if I love you to the end of the world? What if I love you? What if I love you to the end of the world? Does it prove you wrong? Does it prove us right? Does it really matter if it feels alright? What if I love you? What if I love you to the end of the world?

EYES UNDRESSED I like you best with your eyes undressed, baby How do you feel? You come around, pull my blankets down, baby It’s no big deal And when you’re close beside me, I can’t stand it to want you like I do And when I say ‘I love you’, I mean it Uh huh I’m not fooling around Drop your plan like a soda can, baby Kick it around You can stay with me, shake the apple tree maybe See what falls down And when you’re close beside me, I can’t stand it To want you like I do. And when I say ‘I love you’, I mean it uh huh I’m not fooling around Please, please don’t leave There’s a bouquet of flowers up my sleeve Oh, don’t you know I never want to let you go And all I ever wanted to see Are your eyes smiling back at me And when you’re close beside me I can’t stand it to want you like I do And when I say ‘I love you’, I mean it uh huh I’m not fooling around I’m not fooling around I’m not fooling around I’m not fooling around I’m not fooling around

YOU SHOT ME WITH THE MOON If I was a river I would flow to your lips If I was a slow dance baby I would sway on your hips But I’m just a silly rabbit with a taste for your Trix™ And I love it when you dazzle and confuse me You shot me with the moon You flashed me with the sun You rolled me in the ocean You dropped me from a tree You kissed me like a train You shot me and I’m laughin’ If I was a flower I would bloom from your breath If I was a rain drop baby I would get you all wet But I’m just another loafer with my soul in a sweat And I love it when you dangle and amuse me You shot me with the moon You flashed me with the sun You rolled me in the ocean You dropped me from a tree You kissed me like a train You shot me and I’m laughin’ But I hope the time will come when I can shake the coldness in your heart And let you feel the warmth of my embrace And shatter your iron curtain You shot me with the moon You flashed me with the sun You rolled me in the ocean You dropped me from a tree You kissed me like a train You shot me and I’m laughin’ You shot me You shot me with the moon

Barefoot Girl Walking By 04:26

BAREFOOT GIRL WALKING BY We scatter like birds We splatter like water on a grease fire We battle with words And fall down like poets in the cross fire And those promises we made... I want to believe in happy endings where the kiss is sweet I want to look down and see glass slippers on my feet But I’m way too wise and these glass slippers aren’t my size So I’ll see this world like a barefoot girl walking by The stars in the trees Lit nights we were closer than secret We turned with the leaves And drifted like smoke into the sunset And those promises we made... I wanna to believe in happy endings where the kiss is sweet I wanna look down at the ground and see glass slippers on my feet But I’m way too wise and these glass slippers aren’t my size So I’ll see this world like a barefoot girl walking by Princesses go by in carriages I just wave and roll my pumpkin home It’s torture ‘cause I love an orchestra But when the clock strikes twelve You dance alone You dance alone And those promises we made... I wanna to believe in happy endings where the kiss is sweet I wanna look down at the ground and see glass slippers on my feet But I’m way too wise and these glass slippers aren’t my size So I’ll see this world like a barefoot girl walking by Yeah, I’ll see this world like a barefoot girl walking by
