I was barely alive when at last I took the dive in your shallow sea oh yeah Now I’ve seen the things you’re not and it’s time you took the shot that was meant for me oh yeah Oh we had a great beginning but the end is now in sight I was clinging to something well at least before tonight Can you drop me at the airport I don't wanna miss my flight Not meant to be It’s time to sing a different tune so here’s a pin for your balloon I can't compromise anymore Hey we had a go of it, dealin’ with you and all your shit But I ain’t no fly anymore Hey we had a great beginning but good things tend not to last I’ve seen all your vibrant colors and that wore out way too fast Safe to say we have no future so I’m puttin’ you in the past It’s best for me Solo Now you say I led you on but the one I met is gone you been busted out oh yeah Maybe next time you’ll learn, try to be real and you might earn benefit of the doubt oh yeah Oh we had a great beginning hey but dreams they turn to dust When you got around your home girls I was left in such disgust If I know that I don’t like you, we’re no way approaching lust I’d rather be free 1-2-3 8-9-10

Villas Boas 02:55
Her hair was fair, reaching halfway down her neck Her eyes were large and blue, slanting outward She was shoulder tall, with hard, thin lips, small nose and ears thin waist, and high and well-separated breasts Wide hips, large thighs, normal fingers, feet, and nails and a triangular face with high, wide cheeks which narrow sharply to a pointed chin Single saucer mating game She points to her stomach, and she points to the sky Was he just a pin-up dreamer, or did he father a hybrid guy Villas Boas, Villas Boas - He was gone 4 hours but he didn't notice Villas Boas, Villas Boas - He called her an animal but that's what he was Antonio, your lucky day - Alien girl knew what she wanted like most of us do here in Bedrock - Human cept the way she grunted Oh she was so beautiful - Not an earthling, so much better Put a tonic on your body Now you wish you never met her (solo) Creepy that she came to you Now these strangers ask you questions People laughing with their eyeballs Things you wish you never mentioned She turned to you a second time You wanted to kiss her but she wouldn't let you Still you feel like quite the stud now Must be some reason, they came to get you Villas Boas, Villas Boas - She was a goddess, he was a novice Villas Boas, Villas Boas - hey alien love, that must be where the fun is Villas Boas, Villas Boas - He was gone 4 hours but he didn't notice Villas Boas, Villas Boas - He called her animal but that's what he was

Motown Song 02:58
Holland Dozier Holland and Diana Ross oh tell me where did they get that beat It tends to make for a better day when you're dancin' in the street It makes me sad as I could ever say that they barely play those songs no more It was exactly that which brought me the thought of why I wrote this little one for All it takes to make my baby happy is a Motown song (she loves that Motown) she starts singin' along and her feet start movin and I'm right there with her boppin hoppin Don't need those Pips, I got this band who can play anything so good We're the best band in the land right now You must listen if you could oh What's Goin' On, I Heard It Thru The Grapevine that You Really Got A Hold On Me Ooh Baby Baby I can't help myself if Motown music makes me say Let's Get It On to My Girl oh my little girl Please Mr. Postman, need this Signed Sealed Delivered I Ain't Too Proud To Beg and I Want You Back oh there Ain't No Mountain High Enough to heal the Tracks of my Tears Don't wanna Shop Around brass then guitar solo It ain't Just My Imagination or a Superstition this Love Hangover You Keep Me Hangin On Don't Leave Me This Way I'm so Uptight How Sweet It Is The Tears Of A Clown Got To Give It Up For Once In My Life so What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted? Standing In The Shadows Of Love It will be you I get Reflections of All it takes to make my baby happy is a Motown song (I Second That Emotion) she starts singin' along and her feet start movin and I'm right there with her shakin' quakin' Don't need Miracles, I got these boys who can play anything so good we're the best band in the world right now and I think that should be understood oh All it takes to make my baby happy is a Motown song (just gimme that Motown) she starts singin' along and her feet start movin and I'm right there with her boppin hoppin

Never saw the summer, never saw the spring Never saw too much of anything Never saw an angel til I saw your face glowing without trying Never saw the ocean, never saw a stream Never saw the truth within' the dream Never saw much light until I saw your smile comin' at me oh I thought my life was destined for some lonely days indeed til you came out from stage left and you are pretty much all I need, I love you Never saw the summer, never saw the spring Never saw too much of anything Never saw a fullmoon til I felt your hand holding mine so sweet now I shake my head, such a beautiful girl Never saw the woman who could be my world Never saw the one who'd turn me round, make me better You inspire me to want to set the world on fire just to prove to you that I can make a life that matters while I cherish a love that's true I guess that you like me and we have chemistry so do we have a chance to turn romance into reality oh solo I went thru all my life looking for somethin' I'd never find Little did I know something so spectacular could turn out to be mine, I'm so lucky Never saw the spring, never saw the summer Never saw a day on the calendar til I saw one coming up where I knew for sure that I would see you Never felt the beams of a perfect day Never saw my troubles all fade away Never had a clue about my destiny til you came my way oh I'll take you to Las Vegas for a neon wedding night oh when they see you coming they will turn off all the lights the way you're shining Never saw the summer, never saw the spring Never saw too much of anything Never saw an angel til I met your kind

Unselfish 02:57
Lately I've been thinkin' that we're headed round the bend Every day it seems we're gettin' closer to the end I think that I might somehow be too much for you to take but still I know I wanna be around when you awake mm h-mm I'm tryin' to be unselfish but I want you mm h-mm I'm tryin' to be unselfish but I want you Where do the sweet lovers wander once they reached the peak? Will they stay together if they know not what they seek? I had always hoped that we would just get lost together Now it seems I'm takin' you out in some stormy weather mm h-mm I'm tryin' to be unselfish but I want you mm h-mm I'm tryin' to be unselfish but I want you Could it be our run of golden times has come and gone? (No that can't be our love's too strong) If we keep our heads and try to cut ourselves some slack we both know it won't be long til we're back on the track solo I don't know what's right or wrong or what is best for us but it wouldn't be our style to let this bite the dust If I get to thinkin' about what I'd do instead all the complicated stuff just fades right from my head mm h-mm I'm tryin' to be unselfish but I want you mm h-mm I'm tryin' to be unselfish but I want you

Caught between our friendship and love I can't imagine what we were thinking of When we parted we were only a touch away Caught in limbo hinting around we kept our feet too close to the lonely ground Maybe now we understand what we didn't say Change into a stranger overnight but we might still remember if the time was right Bridges burnt before their time when you got lost in your own mind Nothing was done, a lot was said I was on the edge when you went blind Bridges burnt before their time The hourglass is so unkind Don't you ever turn your head and see what we both left behind solo By chance i saw the answer in your eyes Sometimes your soul will shout out what your face denies Bridges burnt before their time Our thing was just a pantamime We took the safe way out instead Our lives will be forever intertwined Bridges burnt before their time you turned your back and I turned mine Leaving both of us part dead Why were we so afraid of what we'd find Now we live in different towns forgot to watch our dominoes falling down but we had a little time in the sun back then Should our lives get tangled again I'd try to find the lover inside the friend but would you hide your love til the bitter end? Change into a stranger overnight but we might still remember if the time was right

You're an asshole and it's out of control You took me to insanity Was that your goal ? I'm your victim - That's the thing I can't change Yeah I gave you all the benefit but you're deranged Did I let you into my mind ? Oh how could I be so blind Oh how could I be so blind My intentions were only good then I found out where I stood Then I found out where I stood Finally caught a couple glimpses of your changing face but by that time you had my head inside your trophy case You're an asshole and it's out of control You took me to insanity Was that your goal ? I'm your victim - That's the thing I can't change Yeah I gave you all the benefit but you're deranged For awhile I didn't have a clue put together 2 and 2 put together 2 and 2 and there you were without your disguise saw your calculating eyes saw your calculating eyes Couldn't run you had me cornered in your slaughter house and the lamb I thought you were became a wolf that growls break Oh yes, you've taught me so well that there really is a hell that there really is a hell In the end though, vengeance is mine cause you're stuck with your own kind Yeah, you're stuck with your own kind Still I agonize about the thing I cannot do get back all the time I wasted when I dealt with you You're an asshole and it's out of control You took me to insanity Was that your goal ? I'm your victim - That's the thing I can't take Oh, I thought that you were genuine but you're a fake break Oh, I let you into my mind Oh how could I be so blind Oh how could I be so blind My intentions were only good then I found out where I stood Then I found out where I stood With your dummy face performance I was reassured as I lay in little pieces on your cutting board You're an asshole and it's out of control You took me to insanity Was that your goal ? I'm your victim - That's the thing I can't change Yeah I gave you all the benefit but you're deranged Asshole

Another day, another job, another life at large The first week I was introduced to the man in charge He moved a little shaky and his eyes were bloodshot red but whoever named him iron man hit the nail right on the head -guitar interlude- You know what they say, a company man is a company's best friend Smitty volunteered for overtime on his weekends Saved most all his money, he knew it wouldn't go far and when all the shoptalk got him down, he'd stop off at the bar He'd make it in the next day despite that aching in his head and sick leave saved enough to spend the next whole year in bed Retirement day's long passed him by but he's still workin' on still saving for the future but that's long, long lost The first time that I called in sick, Smitty had his doubts Refused overtime and we both knew he had me figured out but Smitty's wife could tell you how those hours slip away while Smitty worked to save enough for countless rainy days Production stats are down and you can blame the bureaucracy The big shots take it out on Smitty, he takes it out on me He gladly takes the hassle for such sweet prosperity but he can't take that with him to the land of the free Smitty was right but it didn't do him no good He knew all along that I didn't belong in his neighborhood now if I was an iron man well I just might but overtime isn't worth one dime tonight oh Smitty are you still here? all of the sudden it's already 40 long years and one long night Smitty, you were right Smitty always tried so hard to throw in his two cents but kids not half his age went further on thru management Many friends have come and gone, where are they all now? Smitty knew he'd get by somehow Still lookin' at the little girls, you know he's goin nowhere His mortgage paid, his fortune made, he'd say he doesn't care Me I think that Smitty's life has been more than unfair but carve it in the building walls yes ironman was there, ironman was there Different rules for different fools in the school of hard knocks One good turn leads to one good burn and you learn to fly with the flock Instead of taking your time my friend, I think you better take stock Can you hear the drums, your time has come to hit off that clock Smitty was right (He did what he could, didn't do him much good) He knew all along that I didn't belong in his neighborhood (I didn't belong and I never would) now if I was an iron man well I just might (Gehrig is gone, but Cal Ripken lives on) but overtime isn't worth one dime tonight ('cept your money was time, and your fortune is gone)
