1. Popstar

So your girlfriend wants to be a popstar
And beat the charts outta me
She wants to move a million units man
Probably just to prove she can
And after a couple of hits
She'll be buying a new pair of mitts
I can see just where she's heading
She's as predictable as armageddon

Oh, they don't make 'em like they used to
They don't make 'em like they used to
No, they don't make 'em like they used to
- you should have just stuck with me

Your girlfriend wants to be a popstar
And live in primrose hell
She'll join the meritocracy
And get to meet all of rocks aristocracy
And be someone everyone knows
Who all the designers send all their new clothes
But when she starts to look like Kylie Minogue
She might even get her picture in Vogue

Baby they don't make 'em like they used to
They don't make 'em like they used to
No, they don't make 'em like they used to
- you should have just stuck with me

Your baby wants to be a popstar
Probably just to spite me
She thinks it's so easy to get to the top
But a girl like that, she won't know where to stop
And when her most recent therapist
Suggests that maybe she become a buddhist
She might even consider giving up red meat
Man, you're gonna look back to when your life was so sweet

You know, they just don't make 'em like they used to
No, they don't make 'em like they used to, baby
They just don't make 'em like they used to
Yeah - you should have just stuck with me
You should have just stuck with me, baby


2. Human

I play a good game,
but not as good as you
I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel
I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone
But I had you fooled enough
to take me on
If love was a war, it's you who has won
While I was confessing it, you held your tongue
Now the damage is done...

CHORUS:
Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I thought you'd come through,
I thought you'd come clean
You were the best thing I should never have seen
But you go to extremes, you push me too far
Then you keep going 'til you break my heart
Yeah, you break my heart
See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks could deceive,
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside
I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside
And the damage is done...
CHORUS

I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
I'm only human on the inside


3. From The Heart Down

We
Watch each other even when we sleep
For some small protection
It's a promise we keep

Love
Is hard to define
It runs in circles round the mind
But a circle
Ain't a circle
If it's not complete

Oh
Love me from the heart down
If it hurts or if it's bliss
Love me from the heart down
Reveal me with a kiss
My senses must compete with a brain that lets me down
Down down

We
Satisfy each other but the hunger still remains
You sink into my flesh
Like a knife
When day comes to an end
We take off all our clothes
And stand naked
Face to face
With real life

Oh
Love me from the heart down
Get me on the floor
Love me from the heart down
Go under and then come back for more
Analytical patter
Gives love the run around
Around
You can't hold a theory
Won't you love me
Love me from the heart down

We
Misconstrue intentions
When there's distance in between
Longing hurts the teeth
Like something sweet
When
You're not here with me
You become a memory
Thic aching feels like some kind
Of defeat

Oh
Love me from the heart down
Get me on the phone
Love me from the heart down
Lie and say you're
Coming home
True confessions need the make-up
Of a clown
Smiles are deceiving
Won't you love me
Love me from the heart down


4. Nails In The Road

If this is public transportation
What are you doing here?
Royalty and people like thee
Should queue up in the rear

My patience has worn thin
My tyres are gonna explode
Yeah, yeah
Every time I try to get close to you
You throw nails in the road

This is a sticky situation
Will require a measure of tact
We just don't like to mix it with you all
It's a cultural fact

My patience has worn thin
My tyres are gonna explode
Yeah, yeah
Every time I try to get close to you
You throw nails in the road

This is a clean up job
Everybody grab a mop
You wanna further your position
Well look what floats on top
On top

Well there's class and then there's class
But we're above all that
The butcher and the baker and the thief and the witch
And the aristocrat

My patience has worn thin
My tyres are gonna explode
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Every time I try to get close to you
You throw nails in the road...


5. Who's Who

When We meet again just refer to Me as "Back Then"
Or Pretend not to Recall
Ever knowing Me at all
Or Hanging Round My Door
Begging for more

When You begin playing to win
That's when the Losers rush in

And I
I got better than You
At jumping the Queue to get closer to seeing
Who's Who

A man without a Home is never alone
Well just look at what He's got
The Whole Parking Lot
In those Unsheltered Places
There's always other Faces

Take Mine for a Start
It's like a Modern Work at Art
Disturbing and Lacking in Heart

And I
I got better than You
At jumping the Queue to get closer to seeing
Who's Who

It must be so Wonderful
Being You Everyday
Oh it must be so Wonderful
Always gettin' Your Way

A Common Dialogue
Is the Best Thing that You'll get
From ther Woman You call Your Wife
So Try not to forget
To tear out and burn
The Things You unlearn

Your Future exists in Her Shopping Lists
Please call Your Office

And I
I got better than You
At jumping the Queue to get closer to seeing
Who's Who

I got better than You
I got better than You


6. Dragway 42

I walk the Streets at Night
Under Artifical Light
Looking for Somewhere to live
I've been on the East Side
Where a Lady can reside
But I'm waiting for You
Waiting for You
In the Falling Rain
Oh heal Me
Heal Me
Again

What's the Cost of Fame?
What's in a Name?
Maybe, can You
Vibrate and clarify
So that even lowly I
Can find the Road that leads to You

In the Falling Rain
Oh heal Me
Heal Me
Again

One more Little Heartache
One more Little Heartache
One more Little Earthquake
Wash Me down
Wash Me down

Ghostly Memory
Come back to Me
Fill Me and then
Take Me to Your Grave
I promise to behave
And let Me in the Whole
Of You
In the Falling Rain
Oh heal Me
Heal Me
Again


7. Baby's Breath

There was a time you thought I was in love with you.
Well think again, you can't read my thoughts.
You're so pretty I'd like to break your smile in two.
You're so correct I'd like to disconnect the dots.

You're such a child, but you're not innocent
Another kid for rent.

chorus
Why did you send me roses? Save them for someone's death.
The love you have to offer is only baby's breath.

There was a time I thought you were magnificent
But you've got nothing to have or to hold.
You're so pensive but your thoughts are insignificant.
Wrap 'em up, another 20 billion sold.

You think you're wild and know what danger means
In your designer jeans.

Why did you send me roses? Save them for someone's death.
The love you have to offer is only baby's breath.

I'd like to have you alone tonight and rearrange your mind.
I'd like to have you, but I know I'd be wasting my time.

chorus
chorus


8. One More Time

You believed in me
When you had nothing to gain
You stood by me
You walked out in the falling rain
To find me
Waiting in the shadows behind me

Baby please
Please
Won't you do it one more time
Do it one more time
Do it one more time
Please
Won't you do it one more time

You stayed when no one else would
When i was delayed you understood
I've done some low down things
Alright but you said i was good
I couldn't forgive myself
But you could

Won't you please
Please
Won't you do it one more time
Do it one more time
Do it one more time
Please
Won't you do it one more time

I know i've made you promises
Then i forget
I've let you down darling
I'm forever in your debt
In my darkest hour i've
Turned you out
But when the mood has passed
You came back in spite of me
Saying "this love, this love was meant to last"

Oh baby
Won't you please
Won't you do it one more time
Do it one more time with feeling
Oh baby
Please
Won't you do it one more time
One more time
Please
Won't you do it one more time

With feeling


9. Legalise Me

Legalise me
Oh I want the legal right to be me
Only me
Legalise me
Bail me, jail me
But they're never gonna nail me
Pharmaceutically

I was sleeping like a baby in bed
When I woke up
To a voice in my head
"We're all outta rooms
Try down the road is what I said"
I'm just a farmer
And I grow marijuana

Oh baby doll
Can yo tell that I like that?
Oh baby doll
We're gonna rattle your combinations
Up and down

Legalise me
Oh I gotta gotta gotta feel free
Really free
Legalise me
Wake me, shake me
If they're goona come and take me
Make it legally

I been campaigning for
The rights of the meek
I've been holed up
In a tree most the week
Hey, sir, your crush boxes
Are starting to leak
They're saying "never"
But we'll wait here
Forever and ever and ever and ever

Oh baby doll
Can you tell that I like that?
Oh baby doll
We're gonna rattle your combinations
Up and down

And if I wanna shake my hair
In the sun
Don't try to flail me
For offending anyone
I don't take prozac
And I'll never own a gun
I'm just a farmer
But, I swear I'd never harm her

Oh baby doll
Can yo tell that I like that?
Oh baby doll
We're gonna rattle your combinations
Up and down


10. Samurai

When you came into my
room last night
And took off all your clothes
Did you think I would resist
letting you inside
Did you think I could resist you
My favourite samurai

You swam across the bedroom
Drunk on my champagne
You got into the air
Across the river Wye
And pushed aside your headstone
My favourite samurai

Then you showed me something
I didn't know
How to let go
I was falling
through the tivoli sky
Expecting to fly
Expecting to fly

When I stood beside your tomb last night
Recalling how you rose
Did you think I would persist
Refusing to die
See how I've persisted
My favourite samurai


11. Rabo De Nube

Si me dijeran pide un deseo,
preferira un rabo de nube
que se llevara lo feo
y nos dejara el querube,
un barredor de tristezas,
un aguacero en venganza,
que cuando escampe parezca nuestra esperanza;
un barredor de tristezas,
un aguacero en venganza,
que cuando escampe parezca nuestra esperanza
...nuestra esperanza.


12. Biker

Biker they tell me
You're a dangerous lover
Well that might ne true
Oh, but I'd never ride with another

Maybe they've never had their arms around
anything so wild and free

You bring the biker out in me

I can't understand it
Why people give you grief
You play the one armed bandit
Like and outlaw with a belief

To them it's the norm
for a man to conform
to a godless society

You bring the biker out in me

You bring the biker out in me

Because they've no interest
In the struggle to obtain
The status and bogus desires
That drive most people insane
You who have nothing have
Something that only the 1%
Could ever see

You bring the biker out in me

You bring the biker out in me
