I pick her up outside the station
She's telling me about her spring vacation
She's not leaving much to the imagination
She's giving me way too much information

Maureen
You don't know what you do to me
I know you won't be true to me
The least that you can do for me
Is keep it to yourself
I'm so sorry I don't mean to shout
It's just that I can do without
The details of your days and nights and your thoughts and dreams
Maureen, Maureen, Maureen, Maureen, Maureen

Do you know what I mean
Do you know what I mean
Do you know what I mean

She calls me up at ten past midnight
'Cause she and some guy just had some big fight
And I say “well maybe he's just not all that bright”
She tells me it's not his brain that she likes

M-M-M-M-M-Maureen
You don't know what you do to me
I know you won't be true to me
The least that you can do for me
Is keep it to yourself
I'm so sorry I don't mean to shout
But really I can do without
The details of your days and nights and your thoughts and dreams
Maureen, Maureen, Maureen, Maureen

I know you think I'm just a friend
But can we please just put an end
To all the graphic imagery that you insist on feeding me
I can't accept I'm not the one
Who's getting to have all the fun
Maybe that's what friends are for
But I just can't take it any more

M-M-M-M-M-Maureen
You don't know what you do to me
I know you won't be true to me
The least that you can do for me
Is keep it to yourself
I'm so sorry I don't mean to shout
But really I can do without
The details of your days and nights and your thoughts and dreams
Can we keep it right
Can we keep it clean
Maureen, Maureen, Maureen, Maureen, Maureen

. . .



I'm going coast to coast
I'm going nation-wide
I've got my hand on the trigger
Got my girl by my side
I've got the looks that kill
I've got a license to love
I've got a german shepard
And his name is Doug

I'm heading for the sun
I'm gunna become

A California sex lawyer, oh yeah
A California sex lawyer, oh yeah
A California sex lawyer, oh yeah
Well it's not fair, but baby I dont care

I've got big ideas
I've got back up plans
I've got the cha-cha-charisma
Got the slight of hand
I'm gunna do some damage
Gunna bust some heads
I'm gunna go the distance
Then I'm going to bed

I'm heading for the sun
I'm gunna become

A California sex lawyer, oh yeah
A California sex lawyer, oh yeah
A California sex lawyer, oh yeah
Well it's not fair, but baby I dont care


I'm heading for the sun
I'm gunna become

A California sex lawyer, oh yeah
A California sex lawyer, oh yeah
A California sex lawyer, oh yeah
Well It's not fair
It's not fair
it's not fair, but baby I dont care

Bah bah bah bah bah da da da da

Welcome friends to Janice's Party
The kind that others have tried
Smoking is permitted inside

We have faith in Janice's Party
With friends who can not sing
And I can hear the doorbell ring

Well I came this far
Now I know that I won't sleep well tonite
Drunk out of my mind
Janice's party's alright, alright

Bah bah bah bah bah da da da da
Bah bah bah da da da
Bah da da da da da da

Here's a chip a vodka martini
Someone call me a car
I'll be underneath the bar

Well I came this far
Now I know that I won't sleep well tonite
Drunk out of my mind
Janice's party's alright, alright

(break)

Well I came this far
Now I know that I won't sleep well tonite
Drunk out of my mind
Janice's party's alright, alright

Gold sun-glasses and a wandering eye
He looks like he's wearing a cheap disguise
But it's real
Don't you know how it feels

He goes to work and he scares the hell
Out of all the girls down in Oradell
What a deal
Don't you know how it feels

Lay it down, lay it down
You've got to cover a lot of ground
Lay it down, lay it down
Karpet King
Karpet King

Half a drink and he's out of his head
He puts the boys back into their beds
And he's free
That's the way it should be

Out every night with the girl of his dreams
He knows it'll never be quite what it seems
To be
Don't you want hell to be

Lay it down, lay it down
You've got to cover a lot of ground
Lay it down, lay it down
Karpet King

Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down

Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down

(repeat and fade)

. . .



She used to love me
She don't love me no more
I stepped over the line
Too many times
And she stepped out the door

Well Baby I've Changed
Won't you come back home
'Cause I've changed my wicked ways
And I'll never throw your mail away
And I won't tell you that your hair looks grey
And I'll let you listen to Sugar Ray
And I'll say I love you every day
'Cause it's true
Baby I do

Now I hope and I pray
I can turn this mess around
And I search for a way
To convince you to stay
And not just skip town

'Cause Baby I've Changed
Won't you come back home
'Cause I've changed my wicked ways
And I'll put away my socks and shoes
If the lights go out I'll change the fuse
And I'll let you listen to the blues
And I'll say I love you
Just because it's true
Baby I do
Baby I do
Baby I do

. . .



This morning under awaking glow
The sun filled our room like December snow
Like morning through an old window
There's a place in your head I will always know

To the same world born two of a kind
If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine 'cause
I know you well

Like the soil in the ground
Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll
You and me grow old
I hope we'll live to tell
How you know I know you knew I know you well

Down under, beneath the softened skin
Where the words we whisper sink in
It's no wonder the way the words still ring
Sure as sin, it's not a secret thing

To the same world born two of a kind
If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine 'cause
I know you well

Like the soil in the ground
Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll
You and me grow old
I hope we'll live to tell
How you know I know you knew I know New York 1991
Here in the same room for so long
Out of the cold november
Still as a passport picture
Still as a passport picture

To the same world born two of a kind
If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine 'cause

I know you well
Like the soil in the ground
Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll
You and me grow old
I hope we'll live to tell
How you know I know you knew I know you well

. . .



If you love me. why do you hurt me
Come on baby. don't desert me
I was there when you were in trouble
Now you're fine but I guess you changed your mind

'Cause you're never satisfied
God only know why I try to please you
You're just never satisfied

I don't mind it when you get angry
I'm not asking for you to beg me
All I want to do is remind you
How many times I put my ass on the line

'Cause you're never satisfied
God only know why I try to please you
You're just never satisfied
You're just never satisfied

You don't care if I stuck with you
Covered for you, put up with you
'Cause all you wanna do
Is try your love with somebody new
Ooh

I've been wasting my time

'Cause you're never satisfied
God only know why I try to please you
You're just never satisfied
You're just never satisfied
You're just never satisfied

. . .



She knows nothing at all about nothing
The moment I saw her was something I found alarming
That certain nothing behind her eyes

TV, she finds intoxicating
Shows about cops and dating
She has a soft spot
For cops who are robots

And I don't know where this is going
But I've got a feeling
I'll do the driving from now on

Sometimes we stare at the stars from my roof
She wants to know if they are _fire proof_
I say I guess so, how else can they glow on for so long

We're out, the jukebox plays "Jumping Jack Flash"
She says "I love Johnny Cash, the man in red"
I turn my head and pretend not to hear what she said

And I don't know where this is going
But I've got a feeling
I'll do the driving from now on

And I don't know where this is going
But I've got a feeling
I'll do the driving from now on

. . .



Oh whoa
Leave your nightlight on
You don't have far to go

Oh whoa
Leave your nightlight on
You don't have far to go

Out the door, down the hall
That is all
Down the hall, down the stairs
Pretty soon you'll be there

Oh whoa
Leave your nightlight on
You don't have far to go

Oh whoa
Leave your nightlight on
You don't have far to go

Down the stairs
Take your time, don't be scared
You'll be fine, nothing's changed
In the dark it's all the same

. . .



VERSE 1
On this day, I'm walking a fine line
Imagining my minds fine, ok
Tougher than nylon
Safe as a house on the way

CHORUS 1
My little darling
Don't you cry, it makes you look older
C'mon now hey, don't you be down
I want you around
I want you around
I want you arooooouuunnnnddd

VERSE 2
Here's my plan, I'm losing the halo
It's time to lay low man, some plan
Come the high water
I'll be your drowning man

CHORUS 2
My little darling
Don't you cry, it makes you look older
C'mon now hey, don't you be down
I want you around
I want you around
I want you arooooouuunnnnddd
I want you around
I want you arooooouuunnnnddd

BRIDGE
While I'm doing battle with myself and me
I'm doing battle with gravity
and I can't face myself alone
I can't bear to be alone with me

Hey don't you be down
I want you around
I want you around
I want you arooooouuunnnnddd

REPEAT TO FADE

. . .



Trains and boats and planes are passing by
They mean a trip to Paris or Rome
To someone else but not for me
The trains and boats and planes
Took you away, away from me

We were so in love, and high above
We had a star to wish upon. Wish
And dreams come true, but not for me
The trains and boats and planes
Took you away, away from me

You are from another part of the world
You had to go back a while and then
You said you soon would return again
I'm waiting here like I promised to
I'm waiting here but where are you?

Trains and boats and planes took you a way
But every time I see them I pray
And if my prayers can cross the sea
The trains and the boats and planes
Will bring you back, back home to me

. . .



Places
We move in and out of watching
Faces
Float around the hotel lobby like
Fishes
They're all blowing air
We know it must mean something
But we just stare

We stood
On Primrose Hill like statues we were
So good
Walked along the locks and into
Camden
Tried on silver shoes
And orange plastic jackets

Places
We move in and out of fast as
Hail stones
Make jokes hey isn't that the the word for our
Tombstones
So that everyone will know
When they're out one afternoon
Stop to read the stones

. . .


by ELO, as performed by Fountains of Wayne

Midnight, on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave she came
Staring as she called my name.

And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my whole world is gone for dead
'Cos I can't get it out of my head.

Breakdown, on the shoreline
Can't move, it's an ebb tide
Morning don't get here tonight
Searching for her silver light.

And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my whole world is gone for dead
'Cos I can't get it out of my head, oh no

Day job, in the city
Robin Hood & William Tell & Ivanhoe & Lancelot
They don't envy me
Sitting as the sun goes down
In dreams the world keeps spinning round & around

And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my whole world is gone for dead
'Cos I can't get it out of my head.

No, I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my whole world is gone for dead
'Cos I can't get it out of my head, oh no

City Folk Morning

[Нет текста]

. . .


Well, she picked me up in a German car
And she took me out to an Irish bar
Where I drank some beer in a plastic cup
'Til I had some trouble standing up
And then she drove downtown to a strobe-lit space
Where all the guys wore chains and the thumping bass
Was so intense I could barely feel my face
Then I think I asked her back to my place

But that's all I recall
And when I woke up in the hall
I was alone and softly groaning
And I lost my keys, and I lost my phone, and
I wondered what I did or said
That I might soon regret
It was the night I can't remember
With the girl I can't forget

Well, I was reeling, watching the ceiling spin
The next evening when my friends walked in
And when I asked them if they knew where I'd been
They didn't speak at first; they only grinned
You see, I'm not the type to get in fights
But that might not have been the case last night
Because they heard that I had a word or two
With the man who asked, Is she with you?

And if I took it the wrong way
I guess that's not for me to say
Though it seems I may have slipped up
When I offered him some grooming tips
But at least that helps explain
The cuts and bruises on my head
>From the night I can't remember
With the girl I can't forget

And it's all coming back now
Don't know how to react now
Guess I'll let it go
I'm not so sure I want to know

Well, I was back at work at 9:15
When a message popped up on my screen
It said, Pick me up at 8:45
And we can give it one more try

And now that I'm with her
The whole thing seems a bit absurd
Though she never fails to tell the tale
Of the time she had to post my bail
And for giving me a second chance
I'm forever in her debt
Since the night I can't remember
She's the girl
I will never forget

. . .



Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby baby, I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah

Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby cuz I need to know, because
My loneliness is killin' me
I must confess I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign, hit me baby one more time

Oh baby baby, the reason I breathe is you
Girl you've got me blinded
Oh pretty baby, there's nothin' that I wouldn't do
It's not the way I planned it

Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby 'cause I need to know, because
My loneliness is killin me
I must confess I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign, hit me baby one more time

Oh baby baby
Oh baby baby

Oh baby baby, how was I supposed to know
Oh pretty baby, I shouldn't have let you go
Now I must confess
That my loneliness
Is killin me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

My loneliness is killin' me
I must confess I still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign, hit me baby one more time

. . .



Slim and tall behind me
Spinnin' me off of my feet
Headin' for the D
We're taking our act to the street
Roll around the city, leavin' our tracks on the ground

Elevator up
Baby I don't wanna come down

Hangin' with sinners
The undesirable crowd
Tokin' on the train
Playin' our radio loud
Got a sweet need for speed that doesn't know no bounds

Elevator up
Baby I don't wanna come down

Spend a little time in the back of my mind
Now it may be time to pay up to go
I've done it
I've had it
I'm ready for bed
Anywhere at all
Any way the wind blows

Say hello to Molly
She's got a sister as well
Such a pleasant girl
As far as your family can tell
Hold the camera steady, turn the shutter speed way down

Elevator up
Baby I don't wanna come down

Spend a little time in the back of my mind
Now it may be time to pay up and go
I've done it
I've had it
I'm ready for bed
Anywhere at all
Any way the wind blows

Spend a little time in the back of my mind
Now it may be time to pay up and go
I've done it
I've had it
I'm ready for bed
Anywhere at all
Any way the wind blows

. . .



In for the weekend
Out for the night
She gets caught in the curtain
And lost in the lights
But she's wearing a turban
And feeling alright
And she’s hoping to God
That there coming tonight

There's a man in the corner
Sipping a drink
He says I seen them all and
Sister you stink
And the girls from the office
Try to be nice
But they're loud and they're dumb
And they bicker and fight

She knows she knows
There are gonna be times
When no one goes
For her funniest lines
Comedienne
Please make up your mind
Are you laughing or crying
Are you killing or dying tonight

Back at the bar
She's been licking her wounds
He says give up the vision
Performing in rooms
If you work on your timing
And drop me a line
Baby one of these Mondays
Your gonna be mine

She knows she knows
There are gonna be times
When no one goes
For her funniest lines
Comedienne
Please make up your mind
Are you laughing or crying
Are you killing or dying tonight

[break]

She knows she knows
There are gonna be times
When no one goes
For her funniest lines
Comedienne
Please make up your mind
Are you laughing or crying
Are you killing or dying tonight

She knows, she knows
She knows, she knows
She knows, she knows
She knows, she knows
She knows, she knows

[fade out...]

. . .



She's wearing kid gloves
Will handle me carefully
Cause I've got a history, cracked up and fragile
And bound to break easy

And if she could talk to me
What good would it do me
It's no secret where I've been and I have worn so thin
And she can see through me

CHORUS 1:
I don't believe a word of it
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
Now that her soft touch is gone
She's got her kid gloves on

Here is what I've found
New York just gets me down
When the going got tough, I got a bus ticket
Back to my home town

And all the way I dreamed
Flesh wrapped in velveteen
And the road wrapped around me, the long lonely highway
Gulped down by a Greyhound

(CHORUS 1)

CHORUS 2:
I don't believe a word of it
Can't come around to her now that I've heard of it
Won't come around cause I'll only get hurt and it
Now that her soft touch is gone
How could she ever go on
Without her kid gloves on

. . .



Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows
And tomorrow's rainbows I will share
Share with you
So dry your eyes little girl, dry your eyes
We're gunna see skies of blue

Had a tough time gettin' started
Maybe just a little downhearted
All you gotta do is count to ten
Baby you'll be smiling when

Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows
And tomorrow's rainbows I will share
Share with you
So dry your eyes little girl, dry your eyes
We're gunna see skies of blue

Gonna be just love and gladness
Don't wanna hear nothin' 'bout sadness
Come a little closer, come to me
With each kiss you're gunna see

Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows
And tomorrow's rainbows I will share
Share with you
So dry your eyes little girl, dry your eyes
We're gunna see skies of blue

Gonna be just love and gladness
Don't wanna hear nothin' 'bout sadness
Come a little closer, come to me
With each kiss you're gunna see

Today's teardrops are tomorrow's rainbows
And tomorrow's rainbows I will share
Share with you
So dry your eyes little girl, dry your eyes
We're gunna see skies of blue
So dry your eyes little girl, dry your eyes
We're gunna see skies of blue

I know a girl who should never be alone
I know a girl who should never be alone
She's a danger to herself and I'm worried about her health
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb

I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on
I know a girl who you've got to keep an eye on
Everytime she goes outside she barely gets home alive
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb

Oh yeah, and I can see the signs
Oh yeah, cause she's only killing time
Oh yeah, and she's not long for this world

She's a danger to herself and I'm worried about her health
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb
She's got a problem and she's gonna do something dumb

. . .



Well I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do for you
And all the times I had a chance to

And I had a lover
But it's so hard to risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
Well it's just that I've been losing for so long

So I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving
These days
One of these days
These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quartertones to ten
My friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them

. . .



This year for Christmas
There's something I'd really like
So if you're up there somewhere Santa
Please don't bring me another bike

I don't need any ugly sweaters
And I don't play much basketball
But there's something kinda special
That I want most of all...

I want an alien for Christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy
About three feet high
With seventeen eyes

Who knows how to fly
I want an alien for Christmas this year

He can live in the bath tub
So don't worry about a thing
And I'll take him out for walks
When it gets nicer in the Spring

I'll always keep him company
He'll never be alone
And we can hang around the house all day
And watch the Twilight Zone

I want an alien for Christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy

About three feet high
With seventeen eyes
Who knows how to fly
I want an alien for Christmas this year

I want an alien for Christmas
Bring me an alien this year
I want a little green guy
About three feet high
With seventeen eyes

Who knows how to fly
I want an alien for Christmas this year
I want an alien for Christmas this year

. . .



At the KOC Local 313
There's a fat man standing by the soda machine
And he knows, he knows, he knows
Life can be funny

He calls the hair salon says put Loretta on
Cause the mall just called and said the last guy's gone
And I know, I know, God knows
We need the money

And he's a big red cherry
But it's hard to be merry
When the kids are all laughing
Saying hey it's Jerry Garcia
Ain't he cute?
The man in the Santa suit

And all the Moms in town bring their brats around
And they can't sit still or keep their rootbeer down
Now it's up, hey how 'bout that
It looks like a milkshake

Now Jimmy's grown this year says Mommy quick come here
Santa's sweaty and he smells like beer
And he says, kid shut your mouth
You give me a headache

And he's jolly and hairy
But it's hard to be merry
When the guys at the bar
Say he looks like a fairy
But he's doing it just for the loot
The man in the Santa suit

[break] verse x2

And he's a big red cherry
He's jolly and hairy
Everyone's laughing, but he doesn't care
He stays cool
Ain't he cute?
The man in the Santa suit

[fade out with intro]

Chanukah under the stars
Gunna jump into the car
And have a swingin' Chanukah
Under the stars

. . .



As the city asleep
Shares its dreams and desires
Every wish that we keep
Will trace a line to other times, other places
Though the song of the proud
Howls and dies, never fall for defeat
Take a trip to reprieve
Every hour they leave
From Killermont Street

Drink a drink to before
And our memories spill
Adding on as they pour
From our Saturdays and secret sensations
Drink a drink to tonight
Whisky words tumble down in the street
With the pain that they cure
Sentimentally yours
From Killermont Street

And with collar upturned
I made it south to see
That the love I had spurned
Was just the hate in me

As the ships and the steel
Slip away to the cry of 'compete'
There's a message for us
We can get there by bus
From Killermont Street

. . .



They called him Great Scott
Because he was great
They called her Great Susan
Cause she was his date
She climbed in a box
He cut her in two
And when he was through
She was just half a woman

And he'd tie her up
Set her on fire
He'd douce her with oil
The crowd would go wild
She was always alright
At the end of the night
But somehow she felt
Like just half a woman

The show went the same way
Year after year
He'd wave his magic wand
She'd disappear
One day she asked
How did this come to be
Somewhere there must be more to me

One day she left

She climbed through the stage
And into the trap door
Under the lion's cage
And after a spell
He said what the hell
It was just as well
She was just half a woman

. . .


I have to sit you down
Let me tell you what it’s all about
Cause I’ve been carrying a torch around
And I’ve forgotten how to snuff it out

And you have been unkind
And that’s a matter I cannot ignore
You have to skirt around the truth sometimes
But it’s time I told you what I came here for

To thank you for all the small favors
I’m thinkin’ now I hope it doesn’t change us
And take us to a time when we were strangers
In a two-station town
You can’t get the train to slow down

Small favors
Oh to you as sure as she was honest
And now do you remember when you promised
To forgive me someday
The debts that I can’t repay
The debts that I can’t repay

And I cannot forget
You looked at me as if I’d lost a bet
And I hadn’t opened up my big mouth yet
And I thought of crawling back into the plane

And though it’s sad to tell
I still remember how the dry-eye felt
Across the curtains in the cheap hotel
Lit-up dust clouds in the window pane

And I thank you for all the small favors
I’m thinkin’ now I hope it doesn’t change us
And take us to a time when we were strangers
In a two-station town
You can’t get the train to slow down

Small favors
I’m thinkin’ now I hope it doesn’t change us
And take us to a time when we were strangers
In a two-station town
You can’t get the train to slow down

Small favors
Oh to you as sure as she was honest
Now do you remember when you promised
Forgive me someday
The debts that I can’t repay
The debts that I can’t repay
The debts that I can’t repay

. . .



The day you drew your final breath
And parted from the Earth
Is carved into the stone that bears your name
And date of birth

Oooooooooo...Imperia
Oooooooooo...Imperia

He was leaning over you with flowers
And his hand
Trying through the years to see the heart
Inside the man

Oooooooooo...Imperia
Oooooooooo...Imperia
