"And love is not the easy thing... The only baggage you can bring Is all that you can't leave behind."

"High, higher than the sun You shoot me from a gun I need you to elevate me here, At the corner of your lips As the orbit of your hips Eclipse, you elevate my soul."

"You've got to get yourself together You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it. Don't say that later will be better now, You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it."

"I'm not afraid of anything in this world There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard I'm just trying to find a decent melody A song that I can sing in my own company"

"What you don't have you don't need it now, What you don't know you can feel it somehow."

"You're on the road, But you've got no destination. You're in the mud, In the maze of her imagination.You love this town, Even if it doesn't ring true. You've been all over And it's been all over you."

"You will see light in the darkness; You will make some sense of this. When you've made your secret journey, You will find this love you miss."

"You come to me like a moth to the flame. It's love you need but I don't play that game. 'Cause you could be my greatest fan, But I'm nobody's friend, I'm a demolition man."

"There has to be an invisible sun. It gives its heat to everyone. There has to be an invisible sun. That gives us hope when the whole day's done."

"I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way. But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone, Long before tongue has tripped me, Must I always be alone?Every little thing she does is magic; Everything she do just turns me on. Even though my life before was tragic, Now I know my love for her goes on."

"There is no political solution To our troubled evolution. Have no faith in constitution, There is no bloody revolution.We are spirits in the material world."

"Poets, priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions. Words that scream for your submission And no one's jamming their transmission. 'Cos when their eloquence escapes you, Their logic ties you up and rapes you."

"Don't think me unkind, Words are hard to find. They're only cheques I've left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind. And when their eloquence escapes me, Their logic ties me up and rapes me."

"Turn on the radio, the static hurts my ears. Tell me, where would I go? I ain't been out in years. Turn on the stereo, it's played for years and years: An Otis Redding song, it's all I own."

"How can you say that you're not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity."

"It's no use, he sees her; He starts to shake and cough. Just like the old man in That book by Nabakov."

"Young teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy. She wants him so badly, Knows what she wants to be. Inside her there's longing, This girl's an open page. Book marking - she's so close now, This girl is half his age."

"Bed's too big without you. Cold wind blows right through my open door. I can't sleep with your memory, Dreaming dreams of what used to be."

"Some may say, I'm wishing my days away. No way, and if it's the price I pay Some say, tomorrow's another day. You stay, I may as well play."

"Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw: A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore. Seems I'm not alone at being alone A hundred billion castaways, looking for a home."

"I guess this is our last goodbye, And you don't care so I won't cry. But you'll be sorry when I'm dead, And all this guilt will be on your head.I guess you'd call it suicide, But I'm too full to swallow my pride."

"I've called you so many times today, And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say. That you don't ever want to see me again, And your brother's going to kill me and he's six feet ten. I guess you'd call it cowardice, But I'm not prepared to go on like this.I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing. I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing. I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing. I can't stand losing you..."

"Roxanne, You don't have to put on the red light. Those days are over, You don't have to sell your body to the night.Roxanne, You don't have to wear that dress tonight. Walk the streets for money, You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right."

"Now no one's knocked upon my door For a thousand years or more. All made up and nowhere to go; Welcome to this one man show.Just take a seat they're always free, No surprise no mystery. In this theatre that I call my soul, I always play the starring role."

"I sold my house I sold my motor, too. All I want is to be next to you. I'd rob a bank Maybe steal a plane. You took me over, Think I'm goin' insane."

"You consider me the young apprentice Caught between the Scylla and Charybdis. Hypnotized by you if I should linger, Staring at the ring around your finger.I have only come here seeking knowledge, Things they wouldn't teach me of in college. I can see the destiny you sold Turned into a shining band of gold.I'll be wrapped around your finger. I'll be wrapped around your finger."

"There's a little black spot on the sun today; It's the same old thing as yesterday. There's a black hat caught in a high tree top; There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop.I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain. I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign, But it's my destiny to be the king of pain."

"Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace. I dream at night I can only see your face. I look around but it's you I can't replace. I feel so cold and I long for your embrace. I keep crying baby, baby please.Oh can't you see You belong to me? How my poor heart aches With every step you take."

"Every breath you take; Every move you make; Every bond you break; Every step you take, I'll be watching you."

"Another working day has ended, Only the rush hour hell to face. Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes, Contestants in a suicidal race. Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance. He knows that something somewhere has to break. He sees the family home now looming in his headlights, The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache."

"Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration, But we know all her suicides are fake. Daddy only stares into the distance, There's only so much heartache he can take. Many miles away, Something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake."

"From the age of the dinosaurs, Cars have run on gasoline. Where, where have they gone? Now, it's nothing but flowers."

"I'm checking them out, I'm checking them out. I got it figured out, I got it figured out. There's good points and bad points. Find a city, Find myself a city to live in."

"The world moves on a woman's hips. The world moves and it swivels and bops. The world moves on a woman's hips. The world moves and it bounces and hops."

"Why stay in college? Why go to night school? Gonna be different this time. Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard, I can't write nothing at all. This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, This ain't no fooling around. I'd like to kiss you, I'd love you hold you, I ain't got no time for that now."

"Heaven, Heaven is a place A place where nothing, nothing ever happens. Heaven, Heaven is a place A place where nothing, nothing ever happens."

"All I want is to breathe. I'm too thin. Won't you breath with me? Find a little space, so we move in-between. In-between it. And keep one step ahead, of yourself."

"Facts are simple and facts are straight. Facts are lazy and facts are late. Facts all come with points of view. Facts don't do what I want them to. Facts just twist the truth around. Facts are living turned inside out. Facts are getting the best of them. Facts are nothing on the face of things. Facts don't stain the furniture. Facts go out and slam the door. Facts are written all over your face. Facts continue to change their shape."

"Sometimes the world has a load of questions Seems like the world knows nothing at all. The world is here but it's out of reach. Some people touch it...but they can't hold on."

"I wrestle, with your conscience. You wrestle, with your partner. Sittin' on a window sill, but he Spends time behind closed doors."

"There's a city in my mind. Come along and take that ride. And it's all right, baby, it's all right."

"Well, we know where we're going, But we don't know where we've been. And we know what we're knowing, But we can't say what we've seen. And we're not little children. And we know what we want. And the future is certain. Give us time to work it out."

"Baby, baby, please let me hold him. I wanna make him stay up all night. Sister, sister, he's just a plaything. We wanna make him stay up all night."

"This is a perfect world. I'm riding on an incline. I'm staring in your face, You'll photograph mine."

"And she was drifting through the backyard, And she was taking off her dress. And she was moving very slowly, Rising up above the earth. Moving into the universe, Drifting this way and that. Not touching ground at all, Up above the yard.The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was). The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was."

"I'm just an animal looking for a home. Share the same space for a minute or two. And you love me till my heart stops. Love me till I'm dead."

"Hi yo I got plenty of time. Hi yo you got light in your eyes. And you're standing here beside me. I love the passing of time. Never for money, Always for love."

"You start a conversation you can't even finish it. You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything. When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed. Say something once, why say it again?Psycho Killer, Qu'est-ce que c'est Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better, Run run run run run run run away."

"Home is where I want to be. Pick me up and turn me round. I feel numb - burn with a weak heart. (So I) guess I must be having fun. The less we say about it the better. Make it up as we go along. Feet on the ground, Head in the sky. It's OK, I know nothing's wrong . . nothing."
