waiting for the phone to ring
lipstick on my neck and shoulder

lookin' for love
over the bridge we go
lookin' for love

i'll come running to you
oh baby, if you want me
i,i,i...i'll come running to you now
baby, if you want me
i,i,i,i...
looking at my hands today
look to me that they're made of ivory
had a funny call today
someone died and someone's married

you know that it's my fancy
to make it with frank and nancy, well

over the bridge they go
looking for love
over the bridge we go
looking for love
i'll come running to you now

and you don't want a brother do ya

Strange Little Girl (The Stranglers)

one day you see a strange little girl look at you
one day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
she’d run to the town one day
leaving home and her country fair
just beware
when you’re there
strange little girl

she didn’t know how to live in a town that was rough
it didn’t take long before she knew she'd had enough
walking home in her wrapped up world
she survived but she’s feeling old
'cause she found
all things cold

strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
you really should
you really should be
going

i know you really should
i know you really should
i know
i know you really should

one day you see a strange little girl look at you
one day you see a strange little girl feeling blue
walking home in her wrapped up world
she survived but she’s feeling old
'cause she'd found all things cold

strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
you really should
you really should
you really should
strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
you really should
you really should
you really should
strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
where are you going?
strange little girl
you really should
you really should

Enjoy the Silence (Depeche Mode)

words like violence
break the silence
come crashing in
into my little world
painful to me
pierced right through me
can't you understand
oh my little girl

all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms
all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms

vows are spoken
to be broken
feelings are intense
words are trivial
pleasures remain
so does the pain
words are meaningless
and unforgettable

all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms
all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms

words are very unnecessary
they can only do harm

words like violence
break the silence
come crashing in
into my little world
painful to me
pierced right through me
can't you understand
oh my little girl

all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms
all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms
all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms

vows are spoken
to be broken
feelings are intense
words are trivial
pleasures remain
so does the pain
words are meaningless
and forgettable

all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms
all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms
all i ever wanted
all i ever needed
is here in my arms

words are very unnecessary
they can only do harm

I'm Not in Love (10cc)

i'm not in love
so don't forget it
it's just a silly phase
i'm going through
and just because
i call you up
don't get me wrong
don't think you got it made
i'm not in love, no
it's because...

i said
i'd like to see you
but then again
that doesn't mean you mean that much to me
so if i call you
don't make a fuss
don't tell your friends about the two of us
i'm not in love, no
it's because...

i keep your picture
upon the wall
it hides a nasty stain
still lying there
it hides a nasty stain
still lying there

i keep your picture
upon the wall
it hides a nasty stain
still lying there
it hides a nasty stain
still lying there

so don't you ask me
to give it back
i know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
i'm not in love, mmnhmmm
it's because...

ooh you'll wait a long time for me
ooh you'll wait a long time....
ooh you'll wait a long time for me
heeee, you'll wait a long time

i'm not in love
so don't forget it
it's just a silly phase
i'm going through
and just because
i call you up
don't get me wrong
don't think you got it made
i'm not in love

Rattlesnakes (Lloyd Cole)

jodie wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days
she says a girl needs a gun these days
hey, on account of those rattlesnakes
on account of those rattlesnakes

she looks like eva marie saint
in on the waterfront
she reads simone de beauvoir
in her american circumstance
hey..

she's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in san jose
and her neverborn child haunts her now
as she speeds down the freeway
as she tries her luck with the traffic police
out of boredom more than spite
she never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
she's oblivious despite herself
hey..

she looks like eva marie saint
in on the waterfront, she says
all she needs is therapy
all you need is love is all you need
ah-ahh

jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay, hey
she says a girl needs a gun these days
hey, on account of the rattlesnakes
hey, on account of the rattlesnakes

she looks like eva marie saint
in on the waterfront
she reads simone de beauvoir
in her american circumstance
her heart's like crazy paving
upside down and back to front, she says
ooh, it's so hard to love when
love was your great disappointment

oooo
on account of those rattlesnakes
she says a girl needs a gun these days, hey
uh..uh..hhmmmmm
she says a girl needs a gun these days
hey, on account of the rattlesnakes
hey, on account of those rattlesnakes

Time (Tom Waits)

the smart money's on Harlow
and the moon is in the street
and the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
you're east of East St. Louis
and the wind is making speeches
and the rain sounds like a round of applause
and napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
his invisible fiance is in the mirror
the band is going home
it's raining hammers, it's raining nails
it's true, there's nothing left for him down here

and it's time time time
and it's time time time
and it's time time time
that you love
and it's time time time

well they all pretend they're orphans
and their memory's like a train
you can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
and the things you can't rememeber
tell the things you can't forget
that history puts a saint in every dream

well she said she'd stick around
until the bandages came off
but these mama boys just don't know when to quit
Matilda asks the sailors, are those dreams
or are those prayers
so just close your eyes, son
this won't hurt a bit

and it's time time time
and it's time time time
and it's time time time
that you love
and it's time time time

well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
the boys just dive right off the cars
and splash into the street
and when they're on a roll
she pulls a razor from her boot
and a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
so put a candle in the window
and a kiss upon his lips
as the dish outside the window fills with rain
just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
and pay the fiddler off till i come back again

and it's time time time
and it's time time time
and it's time time time
that you love
and it's time time time

it's time time time
and it's time time time
and it's time time time
that you love
and it's time time...time

Heart of Gold (Neil Young)

I Don't Like Mondays (The Boomtown Rats)

the silicon chip inside her head
gets switched to overload
and nobody's gonna go to school today
she's going to make them stay at home

and daddy doesn't understand it
he always said she was good as gold
and he can see no reason
'cause there are no reasons
what reason do you need to be shown

tell me why
i don't like mondays
tell me why
i don't like mondays
i don't like
i don't like
i don't like mondays
tell me why
i don't like mondays
i want to shoot
the whole day down, down, down
shoot it all down
heeyeea

and the playing stopped in the playground now
she wants to play with her toys a while
and school's out early and soon we'll be learning
the lesson today is how to die

and then the bullhorn cackles
and the captain tackles
with the problems and the how's and why's
and he can see no reason
'cause there are no reasons
what reason do you need to die, die, ohhh

tell me why
i don't like mondays
tell me why
i don't like mondays
i don't like

Raining Blood (Slayer)

trapped in purgatory
a lifeless object, alive
awaiting reprisal
and death..
i said, she said..
death will be their acquisition

the sky is turning red
return to power draws near
fall onto me
onto her 
fall onto me
the sky's crimson tears

abolish the rules
abolish the rules
made of stone

pierced from below
souls of my treacherous past
betrayed by many
now ornaments dripping above

awaiting the hour of reprisal, mmmm
your time slips away

raining blood
raining blood

from a lacerated sky
bleeding its horror
creating my structure
now I shall
reign in blood

Real Men (Joe Jackson)

take your mind back
i don't know when
sometime when it always seemed to be just us and them
girls that wore pink
boys that wore blue
boys that always grew up better men
than me and you

what's a man now
what's a man mean
is he rough or is he rugged
cultural and clean
now it's all changed
it's got to change more
we think it's getting better
but nobody's really sure

and so it goes, go round again
but now and then we wonder who the real men are

see the nice boys
dancing in pairs
golden earring, golden tan
blow-wave in the hair
sure they're all straight, straight as a line
all the guys are macho
see their leather shine

you don't want to sound dumb
don't want to offend
so don't call me a faggot
not unless you are a friend
then if you're tall
handsome and strong
you can wear the uniform and i could play along

and so it goes, go round again
but now and then we wonder who the real men are

time to get scared
time to change plan
don't know how to treat a lady
don't know how to be a man
time to admit
what you call defeat
'cause there's women running past you now
and you just drag your feet

man makes a gun
man goes to war
man can kill and man can drink
and man can take a whore
kill all the blacks
kill all the reds
if there's war between the sexes
then there'll be no people left

and so it goes, go round again
but now and then we wonder who the real men are
and so it goes, go round again
but now and then we wonder who the real men are
and so it goes, go round again
but now and then we wonder who the real men are
