What About Love / Lightem Up

I’ve been lonely, I’ve been waitin’ for you
I’m pretending and that’s all I can do
The love I’m sendin’
Ain’t makin’ it through to your heart
You’ve been hidin’, never lettin’ it show
Always tryin’ to keep it under control
You got it down and you’re well on your way to the top
But there’s somethin’ that you forgot
What about love?
Don’t you want someone to care about you?
And what about love?
Don’t let it slip away
What about love?
I only want to share it with you
You might need it someday
I can’t tell you what you’re feelin’ inside
And I can’t sell you what you don’t want to buy
Something’s missing, you got to look back on your life
You know something here just ain’t right
What about love?
Don’t you want someone to care about you?
What about love?
Don’t let it slip away
What about love?
I only want to share it with you
What about love?
Don’t you want someone to care about you?
What about love?
Don’t let it slip away
But what about love?
I only want to share it with you
Oh no
Ohh ohh, oh what about love?
Yeah
Ooh ooh hoo
What about love?
Love, love, love
What about, what about love?
Ooh hoo hoo hoo

Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh oh
Be careful making wishes in the dark
Can’t be sure when they’ve hit their mark
And besides in the meantime I’m just dreaming of tearing you apart
I’m in the details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just got to get you out of the cage
I’m a young lovers rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I’m on fire
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I’m on fire
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
All the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I’ve got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you’re the antidote to everything except for me
A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love
Then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back the monster that you see
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I’m on fire
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I’m on fire
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
My songs know what you did in the dark
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I’m on fire
So light em up up up, light em up up up,
light em up up up, I’m on fire
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh oh (In the dark, in the dark)
Ooh oh oh

Arnold Layne / See Emily Play / Bike

Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes moonshine washing line
They suit him fine
On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view, see through baby blue
He dug it
Oh, Arnold Layne
It’s not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know, two to know
Why can’t you see?
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Now he’s caught
A nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors bang, chain gang he hates it
Oh, Arnold Layne
It’s not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know, two to know
Why can’t you see?
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Don’t do it again

Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh
She’s often inclined to borrow somebody’s dreams till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let’s try it another way
You’ll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
Soon after dark Emily cries, ah ooh
Gazing through trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let’s try it another way
You’ll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
Put on a gown that touches the ground, ah ooh
Float on a river forever and ever, Emily (Emily)
There is no other day
Let’s try it another way
You’ll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play

I’ve got a bike, you can ride it if you like
It’s got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things
I’ve got a cloak it’s a bit of a joke
There’s a tear up the front
It’s red and black, I’ve had it for months
If you think it could look good, then I guess it should
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things
I know a mouse, and he hasn’t got a house
I don’t know why I call him Gerald
He’s getting rather old, but he’s a good mouse
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things
I’ve got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish
They’re on the dish
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything, everything if you want things
I know a room of musical tunes
Some rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockwork
Let’s go into the other room and make them work

In The Mood

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I’m feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain’t faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute, can’t you see that I
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms, I
I feel you, I hope you comprehend
For the man who tried to hurt you
He’s explaining the way I’m feeling
For all the jealousy I caused you
States the reason why I’m trying to hide
As for all the things you taught me
It sends my future into clearer dimensions
You’ll never know how much you hurt me
Stay a minute, can’t you see that I
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms, I
I feel you, I hope you comprehend
Too many hearts are broken
A lover’s promise never came with a maybe
So many words are left unspoken
The silent voices are driving me crazy
After all the pain you caused me
Making up could never be your intention
You’ll never know how much you hurt me
Stay, can’t you see that I
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms, I
I feel you, I hope you comprehend, I
Wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms, I
I feel you, I hope you comprehend

Jeanny

Jeanny, komm
Steh auf, bitte, du wirst ganz nass
Schon spät, komm
Wo ist dein Schuh? Du hast ihn verloren
Als ich dir den Weg zeigen musste
Wer hat verloren? Du dich?
Ich mich? Oder, oder wir uns?
Jeanny
Jeanny
Es ist kalt, wir müssen weg hier, komm
Dein Lippenstift ist verwischt
Du hast ihn gekauft und ich habe es gesehen
Zu viel rot auf deinen Lippen, und du hast gesagt
“Mach mich nicht an”
Aber du warst durchschaut, Augen sagen mehr als Worte
Du brauchst mich doch, hmh?
Alle wissen, dass wir zusammen sind ab heute
Jetzt hör’ ich sie, sie kommen
Sie kommen dich zu holen
Sie werden dich nicht finden
Niemand wird dich finden, du bist bei mir
Jeanny, quit livin’ on dreams
Jeanny (du bist bei mir)
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
In den letzten Monaten ist die Zahl der vermissten Personen dramatisch angestiegen
Die jüngste Veröffentlichung der lokalen Polizeibehörde berichtet von einem weiteren tragischen Fall
Es handelt sich um ein neunzehnjähriges Mädchen, das zuletzt vor vierzehn Tagen gesehen wurde
Die Polizei schließt die Möglichkeit nicht aus, dass es sich hier um ein Verbrechen handelt
Jeanny, quit livin’ on dreams
Jeanny, life is not what it seems
Jeanny, there’s someone (Jeanny) who needs you

You Win Again

I couldn’t figure why
You couldn’t give me what everybody needs
I shouldn’t let you kick me when I’m down, my baby
I find out everybody knows that
You’ve been using me
I’m surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I’m gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be (and I’ll be), I’ll be (I’ll be) following you
Oh girl, oh no
Oh baby, I shake you from now on
I’m gonna break down your defenses, one by one
I’m gonna hit you from all sides, lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from taking you
You better beware, I swear
I’m gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be (and I’ll be), I’ll be (I’ll be) following you, oh girl
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be (and I’ll be), I’ll be (I’ll be) following you
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
There’s no fight, you can’t fight this battle of love with me
