Pop Star
I'm feeling so marketable today
I'm feeling sexy in a commercial kind of way
I'm feeling pretty – on the outside
Inside I'm feeling cool and in control
I got mad style, I got no soul
Guess I'm on my way
Lights of the city shining in my eyes
I shine too with my designer thighs
I may be a woman but I look like a boy
Take me out / I'm ready for the big time
Show me how / I'm gonna gonna get mine
I don't care if you care what I have to say
'Cos I'm feeling so damn marketable today
I got Britney’s butt and Christina's nose
I got some moves just like J. Lo's
I'm an original ho-ho-ho-ho-ho
Sh-sh-sh-sh-shake my ass and lick my lips
And tell you lies with my lying hips
Uh huh, I’m a pop star
Take me out / I'm ready for the big time
Show me how / I'm gonna gonna get mine
I don't care if you care what I have to say
Take me out / I'm ready for the big time
Discover me / I’m gonna be a gold-mine
I don't care if you care what I have to say
'Cos I'm feeling so damn marketable today
I know this guy / He's gonna get me signed
He’s gonna get me high / and I / don’t even have to rock him
Take me out / I'm ready for the big time
Show me how / I'm gonna gonna get mine
I don't care if you care what I have to say
'Cos I'm feeling so damn marketable today

Break Your Heart
My unshakeable calm has been shaken
My unbreakable heart is breaking
I can't follow the path that I'm taking
It's taken me over
Love
I am bruised where I didn't know I had skin
Glassy and glaring my eyes can't see in
I am shattered
Before us the ice is too thin
To skate over
Love
Love the world
Oh
Break your heart
For love
Love the world
All this
Break your heart
Break your heart
Into the labyrinth clutching the skein
I am driven to riddle the reason for pain
Bedeviled ensorcelled enraptured insane
Again over
Love
Love the world
Oh
Break your heart
For love
Love the world
All this
Break your heart
Break your heart
She
Not afraid to be lonely
She
Not afraid to be dead
See her
Spinning away from the world
Tell her
To hate it instead
Take it to bed
Kick kick kick kick kick kick kick kick
No I say no I say nothing and no
I am nothing and nothing can hurt me now go
To the everyday everything
Everyone knows I am hiding from
Love the world
Oh
Break your heart
For love
Love the world
All this
Break your heart
Break your heart
Love the world
Oh
Break your heart
For love
Love the world
All this
Break your heart
Break your heart

I Would
Who'd want to know the truth / who'd ever really want to know
Well I would / I would
Who'd want to let the world in / batter their naked soul
Well I would / I would
Who'd want to be with you / to see how far we could go
Who'd want to give everything / to fly that high or fall that low
Who'd want to take the chance / to live the dream / to really know
How it really feels
Well I would
Who'd want to know / If you only wanted me for the things I do
Well I would / I would
Who'd want to know / If you could never really love me - or if you could
Well I would / I would
Who'd want to take what you have to give / if you might walk away
Who'd want to fly that high / or fall that low if you don't stay
Who'd want to try that hard / to see how it feels / to feel that way
How it really feels
Well I would
'Cause I want to go / as far as I can go
I want to know / what's in your sweet dreams
Who really knows you / Who really gets you
Who would be waiting on their knees
Who'd want to be with you / to see how far we could go
Who'd want to give everything / to fly that high or fall that low
Who'd want to take the chance / to live the dream / to really know
How it really feels
Well I would
Well I would

Under the Surface

Under the Surface
Under the water the waves churn the sand
Yet the surface remains undisturbed
Trying to read you in maps made of parchment
Pages marked or unturned
I sit at this table with the tools of my trade
Commit observation to verse
If I've been here before I've forgotten the way
No hope yet of charting a course
To bring me closer to you/If that's what you want me to do
May this compass and sextant and evening star
Show me a way to your truth
Under the surface/Under the surface
These may be dangerous waters or deep
But a careful soul might get through
Patiently picking a passage to share
That might bring me closer to you
I think I'll try climbing the mast to the top
Where I might get a much clearer view of the rocks
Oh I want to dive – into your ocean
There's not much that I wouldn't do
To bring me closer to you/If that's what you want me to do
May this compass and sextant and evening star
Show me a way to your truth
Under the surface/Under the surface
Five fathoms deep/I dive down
I can't sleep/I may drown
Would it be/too strange
If we/had a sea-change
I want to go back to the moment we had
When I sang you that song on the beach
We just scratched the surface
And then you were gone like the treasure I couldn't reach
I long to be with you as much as I long
For the bracing embrace of the sea
And diving deep under the surface to taste
Her salt and honey
Endlessly rocking me (Out of the cradle)
Endlessly taking me
Under the surface (Rocking me…)
Under the surface (Taking me)
Under the surface (Poetry)
Under the surface (Taking me)
Under the surface (Patiently)
Under the surface (Taking me)
Under the surface (Rocking me…)
Under the surface (Taking me)
Under the surface
Under the surface

3 Days Out of 7
Where you go / I want to follow
Next to this / Everything feels hollow
What you wanna give / I will take it
And I will give my heart / Even if you break it
I'd rather fight with you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else
I'd rather kiss you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else
Do do do..
Is it healthy / All this shake and shiver
I don't wanna analyze / the kick that you deliver
Can we make it / Will we stay together
I can't ride a hurricane / or predict the weather
I'd rather fight with you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else
I'd rather kiss you / 3 days out of 7
Pull out all the stops / Ring ALL the bells….
Do do do..
I think that you might be / genetically enhanced
Got my excuses / for living in this trance
Whatever's left of me / I'll scrape it off the ground
Keep it in a box / For when you come around
I'd rather fight with you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else
I'd rather kiss you / 3 days out of 7
Than make love every day / With someone else
I'd rather fight with you / 3 days out of 7
7 out of 7 you ring my bells…

Don't Hold Your Breath

Don't Hold Your Breath
I've got needs and you don't have to meet 'em
But wouldn't it be sweet if you did
I need a love to shine shine a light on
A home and a dog and a kid
I've got friends and you don't have to meet 'em
But wouldn't it be nice if you did
We'd stay up all night
With the right kinda people
The kind who are kind and you fit
in
These uncertain times
I need a friend to talk me through
The maze of my own mind when the pain hits
She says you'll get through
Don't hold your breath waiting for him
Don't hold your breath waiting for me
Don't hold your breath waiting for all you need
Don't hold your breath waiting for love
Don't hold your breath waiting for peace
Don't hold your breath you've got to breathe
Just breathe
I've got folks and you don't have to meet 'em
You'd get me more if you did
And yours are fine if you stand stand a way back
We'll smile and nod and show off the kid
in
These uncertain times
I need a love to get me through
I don't need a lot but I think you need me
And I need you
(She says)
Don't hold your breath waiting for him
Don't hold your breath waiting for me
Don't hold your breath waiting for all you need
Don't hold your breath waiting for love
Don't hold your breath waiting for peace
Don't hold your breath you've got to breathe
Just breathe
I've got a god and you don't have to see 'im
Can't say I ever did
I have these dreams and I see it coming
But I won't die, not before I live
in
These uncertain times
I need a friend to watch my back
And take me to higher ground
When the waters hit and we step back
(She says)
Don't hold your breath waiting for him
Don't hold your breath waiting for me
Don't hold your breath waiting for all you need
Don't hold your breath waiting for love
Don't hold your breath waiting for peace
Don't hold your breath you've got to breathe
Just breathe

King of America

King of America
So you are the ugly American
Yes, I think we have seen you before
You're the one with the crucifix nailed to the wall
And the daughter you think is a whore
You could search for a year on a map of the world
And never find Jerusalem
And you say if English was good enough for Jesus
By God, it's good enough for them
So cheer for the war, knowing God's on our side
Let's give 'em what for
Bring the dead home with pride
They made you a King
They gave up their lives
So you are the media moguls
Yes, I think we have seen you before
It's a brave new world order we've entered
Since 1984
You won't hear this song on the radio
You won't hear the news on the news
When they televise the revolution
It will be on the day that they lose
So cheer for the war
Knowing God's on our side
Let's give 'em what for
Bring the dead home with pride
We've seen this before
We've heard all your lies
So you are the righteous anointed
Yes, I think we have seen you before
And you have the right to cast the first stone
At the leper, the traitor, the whore
You could search the whole Bible for words that advise you
To judge not unless you be judged
But you've got the 'King George' translation
And it seems like you're holding a grudge
So cheer for the war
Knowing God's on our side
Let's give 'em what for
Bring the dead home with pride
We've seen this before
We know how they died
Was your daddy too cruel
Was your mommy uptight
Were you disappointed
On your wedding night
Or did God really tell you
To hasten the end of all things
Send all the Christians to Heaven
What does that make you
King of Kings?
So cheer for the war
Knowing God's on our side
Let's give 'em what for
Bring the dead home with pride
All our daughters and sons
Who fought for our side
This is your holy war
And our children who died
So cheer for the war

Sing Your Song

Sing Your Song
You were a loving soul / I wonder if they knew
They would have to lie to keep you down
Telling you lies / Making you a fool
Sing your song / You gotta sing your song
You’re gonna sing your song tonight
Sing your song / You gotta sing your song
You’re gonna sing your song tonight
You got the world on a big ol’ plate
Yeah the world is your oyster
And everyone wants to guess your fate
Or stick you in a cloister
Or marry you off on your second date
So pretty but so crazy
They don’t know how far you will go
‘Cos you’re clever but you’re lazy
Sing your song / You gotta sing your song
You’re gonna sing your song tonight
Sing your song / You gotta sing your song
You’re gonna sing your song tonight
Days go by and years go by
And you’re still off-center
Pulled one way by the words of the crwd
Still trying to be an inventor
You please no one
Don’t even please yourself
As your potential fades
And it feels like such a relief
One less decision to be made
Sing your song / You gotta sing your song
You’re gonna sing your song tonight
Sing your song / You gotta sing your song
You’re gonna sing your song tonight
Oh – he hurts you every time he opens his mouth
He hurts you every time he opens up his mouth
He’s gonna build you up so he can tear you down
Build you up so he can tear you down
Build you up so he can tear you down again – oh – no no no
Build you up so he can tear you down
Build you up so he can tear you down
Build you up so he can tear you down again – oh
Sing your song / You gotta sing your song
You’re gonna sing your song tonight
Sing your song / You gotta sing your song
You’re gonna sing your song tonight
You’re gonna cry out loud – oh – you’re gonna let it out
oh tonight – you’re gonna make you proud

You Are the Angel
She's crying when you hold her
And you think you understand
But she still forgets you love her
When you're not there to hold her hand
You can only change the moment
You can never be her man
To her you are the angel
Who watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
Who guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you're just an angel
You try to keep it simple
Help her out behind the scenes
She is starstruck by the glamour
You don't tell her what it means
You don't want to burst her bubble
The girl should have her dreams
To her you are the angel
That watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
That guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you're just an angel
When she's heavy with her sadness
And it's more than she can bear
You offer up your vision
Of a world that you could share
But she will not believe you
She can't see you standing there
To her you are the angel
Who watches when she sleeps
To her you are the angel
Who guides her through these streets
To her you are the angel
To her you're just an angel

Keep Asking Why
As a girl I put my hero's poster on my wall
That solitary thinker, an Einstein 8 feet tall
'Cause all that had come down to me was history's little lie
About a lonely genius with no equal by his side
Oh I / Keep asking why
Like every little girl Mileva asked a million whys
Inside four walls imagination let her spirit fly
She fell in love with Einstein, they discovered relativity
So many points of view to view from the viewpoint of divinity
Oh I / Keep asking why
Ch: Keep asking why
'Til you unravel all the questions of the universe
Keep asking why
Maybe your heart will un-break when time travels in reverse
Keep asking why
Things have to be the way they are until you open your mind's eye
Keep asking why
Keep asking why
In the still point there's a moment when everything is right
Your boundaries dissolve, your soul spills out into the night
You're a part of all creation, in his eyes you see the sun
Caught up in the light and heat, your sprits fly as one
Into that sky / Keep asking why
What I have to say to you is bigger than the sky
Love lost and potential lost, the things that pass us by
There's a girl inside a fortress pondering wisdom in a pearl
Somewhere a lonely genius is out wandering the world
Oh I / Keep asking why
Ch: Keep asking why...
This is your story Mileva
I'll tell the world
I won't forget you Mileva
Tell every little girl
Keep asking why...

Tiny Windows
They're always upset by other's tragedies
Open to seeing what the other sees
Fragile sense of identity
Reaching out, getting burned
She's sensitive and delicate and a danger to herself
He's self-aware, enlightened and a hazard to his health
They're socially (un)conscious and avoiding worldly wealth
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
They're poetry in motion but you wouldn't say athletic
Dreaming in the dreamy dream post-Raphaelite aesthetic
Extending to the world a personality prosthetic
Protesting all injustice in the world
They're just two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
Two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
They're totally consumed by all the tragic comic endings
In the corner back apartment all the borrowings and lendings
And the seamy sad departures and the seamy sad befriendings
And the wars in every corner of the world
They're just two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
Two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
She cares / He tries / See the world / Through their eyes
She's sensitive and delicate and a danger to herself
He's self-aware, enlightened and a hazard to his health
They're socially (un)conscious and avoiding worldly wealth
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
They're just two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
Two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
They're not religious and they're not optimistic
They're just ordinary people with a lot of missed appointments
And they're too sentimental and they're hopelessly romantic
Maybe a little troubled and they've underdressed for winter
Keeping options open and practicing deep breathing
Just a little angry and a little introverted
They're just two desperately lonely people
Looking out through tiny windows at the world
Just two people in the world

Hallelujah - 1985 Version
Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
that David played, and it pleased the Lord,
but you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall, the major lift;
the baffled king composing Hallelujah!
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof.
You saw her bathing on the roof;
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.
She tied you to a kitchen chair
she broke your throne, and she cut your hair,
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah!
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
You say I took the Name in vain;
I don’t even know the name.
But if I did, well, really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light in every word;
it doesn’t matter which you heard,
the holy, or the broken Hallelujah!
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
I did my best; it wasn’t much.
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch.
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you.
And even though it all went wrong,
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
