DO YOU FEEL LOVED? 

take these hands they're good for nothing 
you know this hands have never worked a day 
take these boots they're going nowhere 
you know these boots they don't want to stray 
you got my head filled with songs 
you got my shoelaces undone 
take my shirt go on take it off me 
you can tear it up 
if you can tie me down 

DO YOU FEEL LOVED? DO YOU FEEL LOVED? 

take the colours of my imagination 
take the scent hanging in the air 
take this tangle of a coversation 
and turn it into your own prayer 
with my fingers as you want them 
with my nails in your side 
with my teeth at your back 
and my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies 

DO YOU FEEL LOVED? DO YOU FEEL LOVED? 

love's a bully pushing shoving 
in the belly of a woman 
heavy rhythm taking over 
to stick together 
a man and a woman 
stick together 
man and woman 
stick together ... 

DO YOU FEEL LOVED? 
DO YOU FEEL LOVED? 

and it looks like the sun 
but it feels like the rain 
and there's heat in the sun 
to see us through the rain 

MOFO 

lookin' for to save my soul 
lookin' in the places where no flowers grow 
lookin' for to fill that GOD shaped hole 

mother mother sucking rock and roll 
(been around the back... been around the front) 

holy dunc, spacejunk comin' in for the splash 
white dpoes on punk staring into the flash 
lookin' for baby Jesus under the trash 

mother mother suckin' rock and roll 
mother (scat singing) rock and roll 

mother am i still your son, you know i've waited for so long to hear you say so 
mother you left and made me someone 
now i'm still a child but no one tells me no 

lookin' for a sound that's gonna drown out the world 
lookin' for the father of my two little girls 
got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade 
still looking for the face I had before the world was made 

mother mother sucking rock and roll 
bubble poppin' sugar droppin' rock and roll 
(scat singing) 

woo me sister 
move me brother 
soothe me mother 
rule me father 
show me mother 
days passin 
around each other 

IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS 

Nobody else here baby no one else here to blame 
No one to point the finger...
It's just you and me and the rain 
Nobody made you do it, no one put words in your mouth 
Nobody here taking orders when love took a train heading south 
It's the blind leading the blond 
It's the stuff the stuff of country songs 

HEY IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS 
AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN 
AND IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS 
Would everything be alright? 

God has got his phone off the hook
Babe would he even pick up if he could? 
It's been a while since we saw that child
Hangin' round this neighbourhood 
See his mother dealing in a doorway
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl 
Jesus sister's eyes are blister ... 
THE HIGH STREET never looked so low 

It's the blind leading the blond 
It's the cops collecting for the cons 
So where is the hope and where is the faith ... and the love? 
What's that you say to me 
Does love... light up your Christmas tree? 
The next minute you're blowing a fuse 
And the cartoon network turns into the news 

HEY IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS 
AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN 
WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS 
WHERE DO WE GO 

Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score 
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door 

It's the stuff it's the stuff of country songs 
But I guess it was something to go on 

HEY IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS 
I SURE COULD USE THEM HERE RIGHT NOW 
WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS 
WHERE DO WE GO... 

STARING AT THE SUN 

Summer stretching on the grass... summer dresses pass 
In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me 
Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue 
It's going to get stickier too... 
It's been a long hot summer 
let's go undercover 
Don't try too hard to think... don't think at all 

I'm not the only one starin' at the sun 
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside 
Not just deaf and dumb i'm staring at the sun 
Not the only one who's happy to go blind 

There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear 
It's gonna itch and burn and sting 
Do you want to see what the scratching brings 
Waves that leave me out of reach 
Breaking on your back like a beach... 
Will we ever live in peace? 
Cause those that can't do often have to 
Those that can't do often have to... preach 

To the ones staring at the sun... 
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside 
Not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun 
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind 

Intransigence is all around... military is still in town 
Armour plated suits and ties... daddy just won't say goodbye 
Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will HE listen 
I'm nearly great 
But there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free 
Though you never really belonged to me 

You're not the only one staring at the sun 
Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside 
I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun 
Not the only one who's happy to go blind 


LAST NIGHT ON EARTH 

She feels the ground is giving way 
Bur she thinks we're better off that way 
The more you take the less you feel 
The less you know the more you believe 
The more you have the more it takes today" 

YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY 
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY 
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY 
SHE DOESN'T CARE WHAT IT'S WORTH 
SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH 

She's not waiting on a saviour to come 
She's at a bus-stop with the NEWS OF THE WORLD 
And the sun sun here it comes 
She's not waiting for anyone 

YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY 
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY 
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY 
she knows just what it's worth 
SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH 


Slipping away... slip slide... 
(The clock tells her that time is slipping... )
The world turns and we get dizzy 
(Minute hands and second sticking... )
Slipping away 
(There's something going on she might be missing 
the world turns and we get dizzy 
Is it spinning for you the way it's spinning for me)


She's living living next week now 
You know she's going to pay it back somehow 
The future is here at last 
The past is too uncomfortable 

YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY 
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY 
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY 
SHE ALREADY KNOWS IT HURTS 
SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH 
LAST NIGHT ON EARTH 
LAST NIGHT ON EARTH 


GONE 

You get to feel so guilty got so much for so little 
Then you find that feeling just won't go away 
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly 
Till there's nothing left for you anyway 

GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS 
I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN 
AND NOT COMING DOWN... I'M NOT COMING DOWN 
IM NOT COMING DOWN 

You wanted to get somewhere so badly 
You had to loose yourself along the way 
You change a name but that's okay... it's necessary 
And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway 

GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS 
I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN 
AND NOT COMING DOWN... I'M NOT COMING DOWN 
I'M NOT COMING DOWN 

AND I'M ALREADY GONE 
Felt that way all along 
Closer to you every day 
Didn't want it that much anyway 

You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy 
Then you get to like the way it feels 
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover 

Then you discover... 
What you thought was freedom is just greed 
Goodbye... no emotional goodnight 
I'll be up with the sun 
Are you still holding on 
I'm not coming down 
I'm not coming down 


MIAMI 

Weather 'round here choppin' and changin' 
Surgery in the air 
Print shirts and southern accents 
Cigars and big hair 
We got the wheels and petrol is cheap 
Only went there for a week 
Got the sun got the sand 
Got the batteries in the handycam... 

Her eyes all swimming pool blue 
Dumb bells on a diving board 
Baby's always attracted to the things she's afraid of 
Big girl with the sweet tooth 
Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot 
Freshmen squeaky clean 
She tastes of chlorine 
MIAMI MY MAMMY 

Love the movies... love to walk those movie sets 
Get to shoot someone in the foot 
Get to smoke some cigarettes 
No big deal we know the score 
Just back from the video store 
Got the car and the car chase 
What's he got inside the case 
I want a close up of that face 
Here comes the car chase 

MIAMI MY MAMMY 
MIAMI 

I bought two new suits... miami 
PINK AND BLUE.. MIAMI 
I took a picture of you... miami 
Getting hot in a photo booth... miami 
I said you looked like a madonna 
You said... maybe... said I want to have your baby... BABY 
WE COULD MAKE something beautiful 
Something that wouldn't be a problem 
At least not in... miami 

Some places are like your auntie 
But there's no place like 
MIAMI MY MAMMY 


PLAYBOY MANSION 

If Coke is a mystery, Michael Jackson History 
If beauty is truth, and surgery the fountain of youth 
What am I to do? 
Have I got the gift to get me through 
The gates of that Mansion 

If OJ is more than a drink, a Big Mac bigger than you think 
If perfume is an Obsession, then talk shows confession 
What have we got to lose? 
I'll never push my way through 
The gates of that mansion 

I never bought a Lotto ticket 
I never parked in anyone's space 
And the banks feel like cathedrals because casinos took their place 
Luck, come on down 
I wake up, she'll come around 

Sex is a kind of religion 
We're down for playin' hard luck 
I never did see that movie, and I never did read that book 
Luck, come on down, let my numbers come around 

Don't know if I can hold on 
Don't know if I'm that strong 
Don't know if I can wait that long 
Til the colors come flashing and the lights go on 

Then will there be no time for sorrow 
Then will there be no time for shame 
And though I can't say why 
I know I've got to believe 

We'll go diving in their pool 
It's who you know that gets you through 
The gates in the Playboy Mansion 
The Playboy Mansion 
In the Playboy Mansion 
Then will there be no time for sorrow? 
Then will there be no time for shame? 


IF YOU WORE THAT VELVET DRESS 

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again 
Feeling sea sick again 
And the whole world could just dissolve... into a glass of water 

I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to 
Do you really want me to be blue as you 
It's her daylight that gets me through 

We've been here before... last time you scratched at my door 
The moon was naked and cold I was like a two year old 
Who just wanted more 
If you wear that velvet dress 
If you wear that velvet dress 

Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains 
It's a private show no one else is going to know 
I'm wanting 

Sunlight sunlight fills my room 
It's sharp and it's clear 
But nothing at all like the moon 

It's okay the struggle for things not to say 
I never listened to you anyway 
And I got my own hands to pray... 

But if you wear that velvet dress 
But if you wear that velvet dress 

Tonight the moon is a mirrorball 
Light flickers from across the hall 
Who'll catch the star when it falls 

If you wear that velvet dress 

PLEASE 


So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace 
And you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face 
So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away 

You had to win 
You couldn't just pass 
The smartest ass 
At the top of the class 
Your flying colours 
Your family tree 
And all your lessons in history 

Please... please... please get up off your knees... 
Please... please... leave me out of this 
Please 

So you never knew how long you'd stoop to make that call 
And you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl 
So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole 

Your catholic blues 
Your convent shoes 
Your stick on tattoos 
Now they're making the news 
Your holy war 
Your northern star 
Your sermon on the mount 
From the boot of your car 

Please...please... please get up off your knees 
Please...please... leave me out of this please 

So love is hard and love is tough 
But love is not what you're thinking of 

September... streets capsizing... 
spilling over down the drain 
...shards of glass splinters like rain 
But you could only feel your own pain... 
october... talking getting nowhere... 
November... December... remember... 
are we just starting again...? 

So love is big bigger than us 
But love is not what you're thinking of 
It's what lovers deal it's what lovers steal 
You know i've found it hard to recieve 
Cause you my love I could never believe 

WAKE UP, DEAD MAN 

Jesus, Jesus help me 
I'm alone in this world 
And a fucked up world it is too 
Tell me, tell me the story 
The one about eternity 
And the way it's all gonna be 
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN 
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN 

Jesus, I'm waiting here boss 
I know you're looking out for us 
But maybe your hands aren't free 
Your Father, He made the world in seven 
He's in charge of Heaven 
Will you put in a word for me 
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN 
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN 

Listen to your words they'll tell you what to do 
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you 
Listen to the reed in the saxophone 
Listen over the hum in the radio 
Listen over sounds of blades in rotation 
Listen through the traffic and circulation 
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme 
Listen over marching bands playing out their time 
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN 
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN 

Jesus, were you just around the corner? 
Did you think to try and warn her? 
Or are you working on something new? 
If there's an order in all of this disorder 
Is it like a tape recorder? 
Can we rewind it just once more? 
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN 
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
