Anger management My inner demons compel me to be here Your cheeks are flush like rose petals You're consumed with rage but I'm consumed with you Our eyes intertwine through the haze Intoxicated by your bloodshot stare In all of my dreams I never thought i'd see A face that could launch a thousand ships And the music was like wind in your hair The moonlight caressed your silhouette Kiss of ocean mist is in the air Why must God punish me this way Lay down my hand the next move is yours As you undress me with your frozen eyes In all of my dreams I never thought I'd see An endless love to share my blue lagoon And the music was like wind in your hair The moonlight caressed your silhouette Kiss of ocean mist is in the air Why must God punish me this way Happiness is hard to come by But I've had my fair share The satin sheets, the lemon peels The minor keys, the major pills We've climbed the mountain, saw the top And planted the apple seed And can't you see we could've had it all And the music was like wind in your hair The moonlight caressed your silhouette Kiss of ocean mist is in the air Why must God punish me this way And the music was like wind in your hair The moonlight caressed your silhouette Kiss of ocean mist is in the air Why must God punish me this way Why must God punish me this way This way, this way, this way ...
Everyone has a summer When a man needs a woman's love so much It can be a beautiful love story But not all love is beautiful This is the strangest music to make love to Passion filled rendezvous Heart wrenching goodbyes A memory of love This is the way I always wanted it to be like It won't be Not, Not as long As long as you insisted on living in the past Cause that's pain You dig I don't care how cool you are We got to work together Thought we'd be forever It takes so many things to make love last But most of all it takes respect And I can't live with a man I don't respect. No wonder you're upset She's lovely What is love Darling figure Rob is quite the man about town There's one song in particular he used in his romantic umm Campaign The phone bill is going to be enormous you know that Everyone has a summer they want to remember Thought we'd be forever

To catch a thief I feel that you shouldn't get involved in an intimate relationship Until you are emotionally mature enough to handle it totally Able to cope with your feelings and your sexuality Without guilt, inhabition or phoniness But with love, tenderness and honesty Things were disappearing I my neighborhood Once again somebody Was up to no good I saw that you were wanted But not like I wanted you And that's when I knew I had to be with you And that's when I knew if i didn't i'd be through To end my grief i'd have to catch a thief Your love was my relief my love is your release Come into my window It's open every night That's where i'll be waiting I'll keep off all the lights I'm lying on my bed Crown jewels on my head I'd never give you up So come in from the cold let your hair down I'd hide you from the cops Don't be frightened now my love I'll take the life of crime All to make you mine Come in off that roof top You're so handsome dressed in black See you in the shadows I'd like to see you on your back Take this precious treasure And i will treasure you We'll run away my dear Some place special have no fear We'll even change our names We'll be kinky, we'll be strange I'll take the life of crime All to make you mine All to catch a thief Your love was my relief my love is your release Your love was my relief my love is your release All to catch a thief
Lies and Alibis
Lies and alibis ...
Herbs, good hygiene & socks I don't dig a lot of the establishment Well, your ideas and values They may work for you but They don't all work for me As far as i'm concerned Some are with it and well some aren't Hmm, that's a hard one to say It's hard to say, I'd say Well wash your ass every day Wash your whole body every day And brush your breath at least 2 or 3 times a day With your teef and then you know, wash the face Do any of these things prevent venereal disease, besides the rubbers ? Carry some of your herbal or salt or pepper around in your pocket Stuff, it opens up in your pocket and gets mixed up with your lint cotton Or mess with the flavour 'cause when you take the herb and put it in your mouth Then you gonna be eatin' somethin' then you got little strings of lint pullin' on your teeth So you just take it out and use the string for flossin' That's...that's far out What do you feel is the best way to To keep from getting a, a chick pregnant? I mean...i mean, what do you do? Well, you need different pairs of socks You know, some times you need the coloured socks That's if you're gonna wear one pair of socks to hide your dirt Then every, every, every other couple of days I mean, you wear the white sock You can wear them probably 1 or 2 days Until you try to walk aroun' an' they get caught in the carpet Then the dirt used up from the carpet gets up into your sock Then you get the little black spots on the side Or you can go and you get, you know, the different types There's other types of socks that's made for shoes But then they get funky and your feet start sweatin' and stuff Or you can get sweat socks that grab the sweat so they won't be funk And you get the powder into put it in so you won't get the funk or the funky feet Or that little feet and the stink is you have to be the funk Cuz when you die you go back to the funk And if you got sock funk you got to be funky cuz it stinkin Or something ran up in your ass and just died

Lifeboat After all our dreams went down Sinking for our very eyes Still echoing the sound Oh the frozen dreadful cries Witnessed the passing of our only loves Lose a battle to the sea Why did you choose my only love It could of easily been me But it seems there was some other plan One I don't care to understand In the refuge of these foreign arms I could find your holy land How can it be that we defy this tragedy From this lifeboat in the dark Is it wrong that we could come together Wind and sorrow bear a spark In our soul and desperation Truest thing we'd ever known But to admit that to the world would be blasphemy Just to show we had our ground How can it be that we defy this tragedy From this lifeboat in the dark Is it wrong that we could come together Wind and sorrow bear a spark How can it be that we defy this tragedy From this lifeboat in the dark Is it wrong that we could come together Wind and sorrow bear a spark How can it be that we defy this tragedy From this lifeboat in the dark Is it wrong that we could come together Wind and sorrow bear a spark
