Simple Simon

(INXS)

Simon found love, in love he thinks he found himself
Only has a heart for her and her alone
He walks down crowded streets and doesn't feel alone, oh never alone
Walks in space with his feet firmly on the ground

Camp on love sign people I talk about
Johnny knows love song people I talk about
Simon, oh oh oh
Simon, oh oh oh (repeat chorus)

Well she's just a simple girl yeah
Spends her time on crossword games and cigarettes, ah
She lives all alone in a military zone where SAMs can't get in
Facts and evidence, she probably give you no clues away, no clues away

Camp on love sign people I talk about
Johnny knows love song people I talk about
Simon, oh oh oh

We are the vegetables

(INXS)

Well I've got this feeling in the back of my head
I feel like making someone's face turn red
Learning? some bikes? and ditto visers/vices?
Try to look bored and you're going places

We are the vegetables

We are the vegetables

We are the vegetables

We are the vegetables

Some music is playing by metal? gazers/gazing?
It's gone thru the stage where everyone makes it
Do you think that we're not good
All I really know is I think you should

We are the vegetables

We are the vegetables

We are the vegetables

We are the vegetables

Well I've got this feeling in the back of my head
I feel like making someone's face turn red
Learning? some bikes? and ditto visers/vices?
Try to look bored and you're going places

We are the vegetables

We are the vegetables

We are the vegetables

We are the, we are the
We are the vegetables

Rooms For The Memory

(M.Hutchence)

Be There
There's a corner to this room
Where there's nothing left to remember
There's time the clocks on the wall
But there's nothing left to remember
A thought or two lingers on
In memorium the plaques on the wall and time stands still
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory

There's time the clocks on the wall
But time stands still remember
There's nothing left at all
But time stands still remember
A thought or two lingers on
In memorium the plaques on the wall and time stands still
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory

There's a corner to this room
A telephone, a chair, a memory
But there's nothing left to this gloom
When time stands still remember
A thought or two lingers on
In memorium the plaques on the wall and time stands still
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory
Rooms for the memory

Remember

Rooms for the memory (SP Michael Hutchence)

 

Golfcourse

Long ago when I was not much younger than a day
Daddy used to take me there to watch him as he played

Golf course do you remember of course you do
Golf course when I was young I didn't I envy you

Now the days have turned to years ? man
I bought myself a set of clubs and I tried the best I can

Here comes the early morning light revealing you
Golf course without you there not much a man can do

Golf course do you remember of course you do
Golf course when I was young I didn't I envy you

A world's a scene in my head telling me all I know
I'm alive yes so alive don't you ever know

Ask me what I have in no ? future lies
I tap my clubs and smile instead I'll stay here for a while

Here comes the early morning light revealing you
Golf course do you remember and I ever you
course do you remember of course you do
Golf course I was at I do my end to you

Do Wot You Do

(A.Farriss & M.Hutchence)

In a reflection of days gone by
I stayed awake all last night
When morning came, I was still unsure
To laugh or cry, I'm needin' more

And it's not easy to take the time
From all we need, we cannot hide
We live our dreams and all we find
Is bittersweet and full of pride

Ooh what have we done
Lift it up, lift a stone
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha

In a reflection of days gone by
I stayed awake all last night
When morning came, I was still unsure
To laugh or cry, I'm needin' mor

Ooh what have we done
Lift it up, lift a stone
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha

Ooh what have we done
Lift it up, lift a stone
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha
I need every minute with you
No one else can do what'cha do what'cha

Firma Terror

(G.G.Beers)

Here on terra firma
The violence is spreading
The walls are collapsing
Into your back yards

Here on terra firma
The fires are raging
The riots up staging
To prove a point to none
Here on terra firma
The fear is choking
The life out of each and every one

Here on terra firma
Where TV is King
Where a black man with the same name
Had a televised beating

It's not too late
Yeah it's never too late
To heal these wounds
That are fatal to the end
To understand our sins
To make amends

See 'em down in hell
Must turn back the tide
This hatred must be stopped
Let's throw our arms out wide
And the dead are breaking in
When your world comes to an end
Will you say you did all could
And then just hang your head

Why not believe
In the good of man
Not bricks and burn
Take all that you can
To love your fellow man
With all of your heart
As you would yourself
We must try not to stand above
And hate you go to hell
Put love in your heart
God is not some TV show
Our life is not some part
Try to believe
That only good will come
If you give not to receive
That is kingdom come

Here on terra firma
The violence is spreading
Spread to your back yard

Here in firma terror
Leads to hatred and unrest
Not only can we beat it
No, that would be best

Keep the peace

(A.Farriss & M.Hutchence)

Should you fall into my arms again,
You know I'll pray with you,
(You know I'll pray with you...)
In my room at night, your vision shining bright,
I'm waiting for you,
(I'll be waiting for you...)

Dancing in the light,
Shadows fall from you,
Learn to watch your step - You come falling
In my arms again, in my heart again,
You will break like a butterfly

Keep the peace for what you're talking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"
Walk of fame is where you're walking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"

Keep a hold of what you're taking,
Even though the walls are shaking,
Keep the peace there's still tomorrow,
"Keep the Peace"

When you break into my arms again,
You know I'll stay with you,
(You know I'll stay with you...)
Now you're holding on, I'll be with you tonight,
I'll watch over you,
(Yeah, I'm watching over you...)

On the street inside, see the blinding light,
Am I dreaming - you come falling,
In my arms again, in my heart again,
You will break like a butterfly

Keep the peace, the walls are talking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"
Walk of fame is where you're walking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"

"Keep the Peace"
Keep a hold of what you're taking,
Even though the walls are shaking,
"Keep the Peace, Keep the Peace"

Red Hill

Is there anyone?
Is there anyone?
Is there anyone?

Oh I wonder if I'm walking
Or if I'm falling into a dream
There's a red hill in the distance
Now it's rising in my mind, it's rising in my mind

Was it a sunset that I remember
Or a vision of my future
Where am I now deep in the valley
Or am I back inside, back inside my room

Red hill where the air is still
Is it watching me
Can it see I will not climb
If this is a dream, please let it continue
If I ran for the hill
Who would be there for me standing on this perfect land

Is there anyone?
Is there anyone?
Why don't you tell me
Which way to be
Give me pain or security
Oh this read hill has all the mystery
It's full of quiet hope and unknown destiny

My love I say this is loneliness
Like a cold dream yet it chills me
Time goes painfully
Then it disappears
With a touch of warmth or lasting grace

Red hill where the air is still
Watching over me can it see I will not climb
It makes me feel uneasy in the valley of my sleep
If I fall down
Will the hands that reach out be my friend or foe?

Red hill where the air is still
Watching over me can it see I will not climb

Red hill where the air is still
Watching over me can it see I will not climb

Red hill where the air is still
Watching over me can it see I will not climb

The passenger

(Iggy Pop -J.Osterberg-)

I am a passenger
And I ride and I ride
Ride through the city's back sides
See stars come out of the sky
Yeah the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight

I am a passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
See the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's red back side
And everything looks good tonight

Sing it
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Get into the car
We'll be the passengers
We'll ride through the city at night
See the city's red back side
See the bright and hollow sky
See the stars that shine so bright
The stars made for us tonight

Oh the passenger
How how he rides
Oh the passenger
He rides and he rides
Looks through his window
What does he see?
Sees the bright and hollow sky
Sees the stars come out tonight
Sees the city's red back side
Sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
It just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride
See what's mine

Light the Planet

(K.Penguilly)
Oh yeah
Light it up

There's no love where
There's no life
Where it's dark
And we fuss and fight
We've gotta lighten up
We've gotta open up
Everybody
Gotta light the world up

Any man
Ain't that bad
Neither is
Being sad
We gotta let it out
Scream and shout
Letting go is
What it's all about

Well it's time to give
Be positive
Open up
Then you can live
Just check your motive
Make sure it's positive
In everything you do
There must be love

Gotta light it up
Light that world
Oh yeah

Here's the score
No more war
Just lots of love with
Open doors
To a higher realm
Where hate is sensitive
Remember open up and
Love one and all
You know what I'm talkin' about
Just gotta lighten up

Born to be wild

(Steppenwolf)

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Yeah, darlin', gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feeling that that I'm under

Yeah, darlin', gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Yeah, darlin', gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never want to die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

The gift (CD single) 1993

The King Is Gone
(M. Hutchence)

They came from the second city

Where the screams came unattached
Addiction was the latest style

In the faces they could not match

There was a blue beat playing

On the radio left behind
And a man selling lies as truth

Like a king who was loved too much

They made a mess of their only child

But her innocence was not lost
While the judge and jury took their time

They counted the miles and laughed

Make way for the way we are

The fever still burns though the king is gone...

Fever comes to the innocent

It can make you mad and free
But you'll never find a scrap of love

If you don't wanna feel the heat

A million flames are lickin'

They lie like dogs at our feet
Waitin for words of wisdom

From the mouths of the bittersweet

In the valley of indiscretion

Where fear plays the piper's tune
The heroes are the ones who tell the truth
And break the rules with the courage of love

Make way for the way we are
Fever still burns though the king is gone...

Make way for the way we are
The king is gone... but the fever is on

No talking just heads 1996

Spill The Wine
(M. Hutchence)

[Todos escuchen, esta es una fantasia de vino y mujeres

los suenos de todos los hombres, hecho realidad

vamos todos a tomar este vino...]

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest in a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face

As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie

And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind

the fact that me, an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome
could be the star of a movie

Hmmm...

There I was, well I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain king
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
In front of every kind of girl, (bueno, dime que pasa), there was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,

black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...

Out of the middle, yeah, came a lady
She whispered in my ear something crazy

She said, hey baby, hey baby:

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
But she disappeared, soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips

And just before she drank it, she said:

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Shoothe me

(A. Farriss)

There's a time in life
When the rain pours down
While it burns your soul
Turns your thought into ruin
Well that's the hardest line
Yeah that's the hardest time
Well that's the party line  

Sooth me, baby
Won't you soothe me, honey?
Come on and sooth me, child
Won't you soothe me, honey?

A big rock star  

But you don't have these things that I want
I want you to soothe me, baby
Come on and soothe me, honey
Come on soothe me, baby
And take our pain away  

Appetizer in the world today
Shit
'Cause you're too fat
You must be too thin
You don't have the right look
'Cause you ain't in
But I want to tell you
That that's okay
'Cause you don't need that stuff
You just listen real hard
To the feelings inside
You take away your breath
You take away my mind  

You just soothe me, baby
Come on and soothe me, honey
Come on and soothe me, baby
Oh yeah
Soothe me, honey
Love  

It's the type of life that we live
It's the type of life we live
Just your own soul  

Soothe me, baby
