when you're free
03:38
|

I'm sick of working overtime
can't say my days are truly mine
sell my life to pay the light bill
seems I'm still living in the dark
'cause I can't see you
call me, darling, call me when you're free
I'll be working for eternity
it would be so nice
to hear your sweet soft voice on the telephone
so call me
I punched the clock right through the wall
this shift won't stop until next fall
where are you now? I need you
oh that's right you're working too
what are we to do?
call me, darling, call me when you're free
we'll be working for eternity
it would be so nice
to hear your sweet soft voice on the telephone
so call me
(spoken)
hey, it's me. just giving you a call to see what's up. call me back when you get a chance. miss you.
call me, baby, call me when you're free
I will love you for eternity

kill 4 u
01:35
|

you say your boss was giving you hell again
hey baby that aggression has to end
I don't like the way he talks to you
telling lies I can see straight through
and if you want me to, I would kill for you
you say your pusherman's ripping you off again
hey woman those bad deals got to end
you don't like what he's giving you
so let me tell you what I can do
if you need me to, I would kill for you

all I need
03:20
|
|||
when we're together on this flight to nowhere
soaring through the stormy night without care
you see us through
and if the pilot seems to lose his way
he's got vertigo and he can't fly straight
with you, I'm ok
out of the blue
all I need is you by my side
when we're tailspinning around
the plane is coming down
caught on a cloud
all I need is you
now the wise are poor and fools are rich
and if the money lies I can tell when it's true
thanks to you
if the big man comes to take his share
the house, car, boat, and the dishware
you have everything I need
out of the blue
all I need is you by my side
as the world's spinning around
luck is running out
tears are coming down
all I need is you
falling hearts never fall apart
ecstacy in zero gravity
all I need is you

lose my girl
04:02
|
|||
I know that it's hard for some folks to see
the reasons I believe that I need
your loving babe, but there's something about your way
they tell me that your words are only hot air
and I gotta say my friends they're not always fair
they don't know, when they tell me you've gotta go I say
I don't wanna lose my baby
even if she's lying
I don't wanna lose my girl
all these tears I've cried would go to waste
leaving me disgraced
and I been up walking the streets all night
dreaming of the way things could turn out right
I'm tired now, and I always do wrong somehow
and I'm losing track of all the things that I've said
to the doubting echoes filling my head
they're telling me, bout the lies you've been selling me and still
I don't wanna lose my baby
even if she's lying
I don't wanna lose my girl
all these tears I've cried would go to waste
leaving me disgraced

brittle trees
02:27
|
|||
brittle are the trees that crowd the forest of my town
and gone the canopies that once spread shadows on the ground
autumn is lonesome
when the darkness and cold come
won't you come over?
the fire in my heart is not enough to keep me warm
it's not the body heat I found wrapped up in your arms
autumn is lonesome
when the wind and the cold come
can I come over?
what am I supposed to do without you here?
I'll mourn the leaves dead on the grass this time of year
without you here this time of year

I'm losing you
02:28
|

losing you
I got the feeling it's true
must be the reason why I cry
I'm losing you
loving you
it was too easy to do
must be the reason why I cry
I'm losing you

sunday
02:25
|
|||
in my car, in those jeans
there you are next to me
looking pretty
I don't know where we'll go
but we will take it slow on this sunday
feel the wind in my hair
taste the warm summer air
hear the music
with your feet on the dash
you recline, you relax on this sunday
on this sunday you and I will forget what's troubling us
we'll be happy where we are on this sunday
when the sun settles down
and there's no one around
I'll take you home
there's a long week ahead
and you should get to bed before monday
before monday you and I will forget what's troubling us
steal a kiss on your porch before monday
in my car, once again
what a shame that sunday should end

I opened my eyes suddenly
emerged directly from a dream
where I was running round with you
everything came rushing back
reality's a heart attack
oh no, I can't believe it's true
ooo baby have you thought about me lately??
since you left me, I've thought of only you
and your new boy too
can't keep my mind on the day-to-day
and I can't keep saying I'm ok
oh yes, I know I'll make it through
I must admit I still adore you
I love you right down to my core although
you're seeing someone new
ooo baby have you thought about me lately??
since you left me, I've thought of only you
and your new boy too
all the same, someone end this pain
all alone, can't get you on the phone
all my friends said that it would
say that it's not true
and that you will come back too

thnx friends
02:30
|
|||
thank you my friends
I gotta know when I can see you again
hopefully soon
and we will gather under a pale blue moon
singing our favorite tunes
drinking a coupla brews at the barbecue
you fill my heart with inspiration
when you dig my art, it's pure elation
thank you my friends
I never want our friendship to end
you've done so much for me
and I can't tell you how good it makes me feel
I've been so down lately
and you were by my side to keep me pushing through
so I thank you
ALRIGHT THANKS EVERYBODY. THAT'S IT. GO HOME. GO TO BED. BYE.
