DO YOU FEEL LOVED?  

    Take these hands they're good for nothing  
    You know these hands have never worked a day  
    Take these boots they're going nowhere  
    You know these boots they don't want to stray  
    You got my head filled with songs  
    You got my shoelaces undone  
    Take my shirt go on take it off me  
    You can tear it up  
    If you can tie me down  

    DO YOU FEEL LOVED?  
    DO YOU FEEL LOVED?  

    Take the colours of my imagination  
    Take the scent hanging in the air  
    Take this tangle of a coversation  
    And turn it into your own prayer  
    With my fingers as you want them  
    With my nails under your hide  
    With my teeth at your back  
    And my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies  

    DO YOU FEEL LOVED?  
    DO YOU FEEL LOVED?  
    And it looks like the sun but it feels like the rain  

    Love's a bully pushing shoving  
    In the belly of a woman  
    Heavy rhythm taking over  
    To stick together  
    A man and a woman  
    Stick together  
    Man and woman  
    Stick together...  

    DO YOU FEEL LOVED?  
    DO YOU FEEL LOVED?  

    AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUN  
    BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE  
    AND THERE'S HEAT IN THE SUN TO SEE US THROUGH THE RAIN  

MOFO   

    lookin' for to save my save my soul  
    lookin' in the places where no flowers grow  
    lookin' for to fill that GOD shaped hole  
    mother mother sucking rock and roll  

    (been around the back... been around the front)  

    holy dunc, spacejunk comin' in for the splash  
    white dpoes on punk staring into the flash  
    lookin' for baby Jesus under the trash  
    mother mother suckin' rock and roll  
    mother (scat singing) rock and roll  
    mother am i still your son,  
    you know i've waited for so long to hear you say so  
    mother you left and made me someone  
    now i'm still a child but no one tells me no  
    lookin' for a sound that's gonna drown out the world  
    lookin' for the father of my two little girls  
    got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade  
    still looking for the face I had before the world was made  
    mother mother sucking rock and roll  
    bubble poppin' sugar droppin' rock and roll  

    (scat singing)  

    woo me sister  
    move me brother  
    soothe me mother  
    rule me father  
    show me mother  
    days passin  
    around each other 

IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS   

    Nobody else here baby no one else here to blame  
    No one to point the finger... it's just you and me and the rain  
    Nobody made you do it, no one put words in your mouth  
    Nobody here taking orders when love took a train heading south  
    It's the blind leading the blond  
    It's the stuff the stuff of country songs  

    HEy IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS  
    AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN  
    AND IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS  
    Would everything be alright?  

    God has got his phone off the hook babe would he even pick up if he could?  
    It's been a while since we saw that child hangin' round this neighbourhood  
    See His mother dealing in a doorway see Father Christmas with a begging bowl  
    Jesus sister's eyes are blister ... THE HIGH STREET never looked so low  

    It's the blind leading the blond  
    It's the cops collecting for the cons  
    So where is the hope and where is the faith ... and the love?  
    What's that you say to me  
    Does love... light up your Christmas tree?  
    The next minute you're blowing a fuse  
    And the cartoon network turns into the news  

    HEY IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS  
    AND IF GOD WILL SEND A SIGN  
    WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS  
    WHERE DO WE GO  

    Jesus never let me down you know Jesus used to show me the score  
    Then they put Jesus in show business now it's hard to get in the door  

    It's the stuff it's the stuff of country songs  
    But I guess it was something to go on  

    HEY IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS  
    I SURE COULD USE THEM HERE RIGHT NOW  
    WELL IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS  
    WHERE DO WE GO...  

STARING AT THE SUN 

    Summer stretching on the grass... summer dresses pass  
    In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me  
    Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue  
    It's going to get stickier too...  
    It's been a long hot summer  
    let's go undercover  
    Don't try too hard to think... don't think at all  

    I'm not the only one starin' at the sun  
    Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside  
    Not just deaf and dumb i'm staring at the sun  
    Not the only one who's happy to go blind  

    There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear  
    It's gonna itch and burn and sting  
    Do you want to see what the scratching brings  
    Waves that leave me out of reach  
    Breaking on your back like a beach...  
    Will we ever live in peace?  
    Cause those that can't do often have to  
    Those that can't do often have to... preach  

    To the ones staring at the sun...  
    Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside  
    Not just deaf and dumb... staring at the sun  
    I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind  

    Intransigence is all around... military is still in town  
    Armour plated suits and ties... daddy just won't say goodbye  
    Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will HE listen  
    I'm nearly great  
    But there's something I'm missing I left in the duty free  
    Though you never really belonged to me  

    You're not the only one staring at the sun  
    Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside  
    I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun  
    Not the only one who's happy to go blind  

LAST NIGHT ON EARTH   

    She feels the ground is giving way   
    Bur she thinks we're better off that way   
    The more you take the less you feel   
    The less you know the more you believe   
    The more you have the more it takes today"   

    YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY   
    YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY   
    YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY   
    SHE DOESN'T CARE WHAT IT'S WORTH   
    SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH   

    She's not waiting on a saviour to come   
    She's at a bus-stop with the NEWS OF THE WORLD   
    And the sun sun here it comes   
    She's not waiting for anyone   

    YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY   
    YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY   
    YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY   
    she knows just what it's worth   
    SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH   

    Slipping away..slip slide..  |the clock tells her that time is slipping
    
    world turns and we get dizzy |minute hands and second sticking...
    
    Slipping away                |there's something going on she
    
                                 |might be missing
    
                                 |the world turns and we get dizzy
    
                                 |is it spinning for you the way it's
    
                                 |spinning for me
    she's living living next week now   
    You know she's going to pay it back somehow   
    Lost/changed  Lyrics (The future is here at last, The past is too uncomfortable)   
    she hasnt been to bed in a week   
    she'll be dead soon and then she'll sleep   
      

    YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY   
    YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY   
    YOU GOT TO GIVE IT AWAY   
    SHE ALREADY KNOWS IT HURTS   
    SHE'S LIVING LIKE IT'S THE LAST NIGHT ON EARTH   
    LAST NIGHT ON EARTH   
    LAST NIGHT ON EARTH 

GONE   

    You get to feel so guilty got so much for so little  
    Then you find that feeling just won't go away  
    You're holding on to every little thing so tightly  
    Till there's nothing left for you anyway  

    GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS  
    I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN  
    AND NOT COMING DOWN... I'M NOT COMING DOWN  
    IM NOT COMING DOWN  

    You wanted to get somewhere so badly  
    You had to loose yourself along the way  
    You change a name but that's okay... it's necessary  
    And what you leave behind you don't miss anyway  

    GOODBYE YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS  
    I'LL BE UP WITH THE SUN  
    AND NOT COMING DOWN... I'M NOT COMING DOWN  
    I'M NOT COMING DOWN  

    AND I'M ALREADY GONE  
    Felt that way all along  
    Closer to you every day  
    Didn't want it that much anyway  

    You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy  
    Then you get to like the way it feels  
    You hurt yourself you hurt your lover  

    Then you discover...  
    What you thought was freedom is just greed  
    Goodbye... no emotional goodnight  
    I'll be up with the sun  
    Are you still holding on  
    I'm not coming down  
    I'm not coming down  

MIAMI   

    Weather 'round here choppin' and changin'  
    Surgery in the air  
    Print shirts and southern accents  
    Cigars and big hair  
    We got the wheels and petrol is cheap  
    Only went there for a week  
    Got the sun got the sand  
    Got the batteries in the handycam...  

    Her eyes all swimming pool blue  
    Dumb bells on a diving board  
    Baby's always attracted to the things she's afraid of  
    Big girl with the sweet tooth  
    Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot  
    Freshmen squeaky clean  
    She tastes of chlorine  
    MIAMI MY MAMMY  

    Love the movies... love to walk those movie sets  
    Get to shoot someone in the foot  
    Get to smoke some cigarettes  
    No big deal we know the score  
    Just back from the video store  
    Got the car and the car chase  
    What's he got inside the case  
    I want a close up of that face  
    Here comes the car chase  

    MIAMI MY MAMMY  
    MIAMI  

    I bought two new suits... miami  
    PINK AND BLUE.. MIAMI  
    I took a picture of you... miami  
    Getting hot in a photo booth... miami  
    I said you looked like a madonna  
    You said... maybe... said I want to have your baby... BABY  
    WE COULD MAKE something beautiful  
    Something that wouldn't be a problem  
    At least not in... miami  

    Some places are like your auntie  
    But there's no place like  
    MIAMI MY MAMMY  

PLAYBOY MANSION

    If Coke is a mystery, Michael Jackson...History  
    If beauty is truth, and surgery the fountain of youth  
    What am I to do?  
    Have I got the gift to get me through  
    The gates of that mansion?  

    If OJ is more than a drink, and a Big Mac bigger than you think  
    If perfume is an obsession, then talk shows confession  
    What have we got to lose?  
    I'll never push my way through  
    The gates of that mansion  

    I never bought a lotto ticket  
    I never parked in anyone's space  
    And the banks feel like cathedrals because casinos took their place  
    Luck, come on down  
    I wake up, she'll come around  

    Sex is a kind of religion  
    We're down for playin' hard luck  
    I never did see that movie, and I never did read that book  
    Luck, come on down,  
    Let my numbers come around  

    Don't know if I can hold on  
    Don't know if I'm that strong  
    Don't know if I can wait that long  
    'Til the colors come flashing and the lights go on  

    Then will there be no time for sorrow?  
    Then will there be no time for shame?  
    And though I can't say why  
    I know I've got to believe  

    We'll go diving in their pool  
    It's who you know that gets you through  
    The gates in the Playboy Mansion  
    The Playboy Mansion  
    In the Playboy Mansion  

    Then will there be no time for sorrow?  
    Then will there be no time for shame?  
    Then will there be no time for sorrow?  
    Then will there be no time for shame?  

IF YOU WEAR THAT VELVET DRESS   

    Tonight the moon is playing tricks again  
    Feeling sea sick again  
    And the whole world could just dissolve... into a glass of water  

    I've been good 'cause I know you don't want me to  
    Do you really want me to be blue as you  
    It's her daylight that gets me through  

    We've been here before... last time you scratched at my door  
    The moon was naked and cold I was like a two year old  
    Who just wanted more  
    If you wear that velvet dress  
    If you wear that velvet dress  

    Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains  
    It's a private show no one else is going to know  
    I'm wanting  

    Sunlight sunlight fills my room  
    It's sharp and it's clear  
    But nothing at all like the moon  

    It's okay the struggle for things not to say  
    I never listened to you anyway  
    And I got my own hands to pray...  

    But if you wear that velvet dress  
    But if you wear that velvet dress  

    Tonight the moon is a mirrorball  
    Light flickers from across the hall  
    Who'll catch the star when it falls  

    If you wear that velvet dress  

PLEASE   

    So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace  
    And you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face  
    So you never felt alive until you almost wasted away  

    You had to win  
    You couldn't just pass  
    The smartest ass  
    At the top of the class  
    Your flying colours  
    Your family tree  
    And all your lessons in history  

    Please... please... please get up off your knees...  
    Please... please... leave me out of this  
    Please  

    So you never knew how long you'd stoop to make that call  
    And you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl  
    So you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole  

    Your catholic blues  
    Your convent shoes  
    Your stick on tattoos  
    Now they're making the news  
    Your holy war  
    Your northern star  
    Your sermon on the mount  
    From the boot of your car  

    Please...please... please get up off your knees  
    Please...please... leave me out of this please  

    So love is hard and love is tough  
    But love is not what you're thinking of  

    September... streets capsizing... spilling over down the drain  
    ...shards of glass splinters like rain but you could only feel your own pain...  
    october... talking getting nowhere... November... December... remember...  
    are we just starting again...?  

    So love is big bigger than us  
    But love is not what you're thinking of  
    It's what lovers deal it's what lovers steal  
    You know i've found it hard to recieve  
    Cause you my love I could never believe  
     

WAKE UP DEAD MAN 

    Jesus, Jesus help me   
    I'm alone in this world   
    And a fucked up world it is too   
    Tell me, tell me the story   
    The one about eternity   
    And the way it's all gonna be   
    WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN   
    WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN   

    Jesus, I'm waiting here boss   
    I know you're looking out for us   
    But maybe your hands aren't free   
    Your Father, He made the world in seven   
    He's in charge of Heaven   
    Will you put in a word for me   
    WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN   
    WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN   

    Listen to your words they'll tell you what to do   
    Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you   
    Listen to the reed in the saxophone   
    Listen over the hum in the radio   
    Listen over sounds of blades in rotation   
    Listen through the traffic and circulation   
    Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme   
    Listen over marching bands playing out their time   
    WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN   
    WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN   

    Jesus, were you just around the corner?   
    Did you think to try and warn her?   
    Or are you working on something new?   
    If there's an order in all of this disorder   
    Is it like a tape recorder?   
    Can we rewind it just once more?   
    WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN   
    WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
