Leave me to my own (chorus) I say What they say Talk only to you Where will we go to I'm alone ONE STEP UP (Springsteen) Woke up this morning the house was cold Checked the furnace she wasn't burning Went out and hopped in my old form Get the engine but she ain't turning Give each other some hard lessons lately Be we ain't learning But same sad story and that's all fine One step up and two steps back Bird on a wire outside my motel room But he ain't singing Girl in white outside a church in June But the church bells, they ain't ringing Sitting here in this bar tonight But all I'm thinking is The same old story the same old line One step up and two steps back It's the same thing out all night Who's wrong, baby who's right Another fight and I slam the door Another battle and I'm dead a little more When I look at myself I don't see The man I wanted to be Somewhere along the lines I stepped off track One step up and two steps back There's a girl across the bar I get the message she's sending She ain't looking to marry Meanwhile honey, I'm pretending Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms The music was never ending We danced as evening sky faded to black One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back (x3) STREET FUNKY MAN (this song is too hard to make out) SICK OF PUSSIES This is for the pro-life pussies: My body's nobody's body but mine You run your own body Let me run mine I'm sick Sick of pussies (x2) Sick of my way I'm sick Sick of me Sick of what's up with me Ripped pussies Pretty wide pussies Gonna see What's with me I'm sick Sick of pussies (x2) Sick with me Hope that pussy shift you (?) (unitelligable) [redo Sick of Pussies bit] Fucka fucka fucka Dime-a-lime-a-ding-dong BETTER MAN Waiting watching the clock It's four o'clock It's got to stop Tell him, you'll take no more She practices her speech as he opens the door She rolls over Pretends to sleep as he looks her over She lies and says she's in love with him Can't find a better man She dreams in color, she dreams in red Can't find a better man (x3) Talking to herself There's no one else who needs to know She tells herself Memories back when she was bold and strong and waiting For the world to come along Swear she knew, now she swears he's gone [chorus] (x2) She loved him She don't want to leave this place She needs him That's why she'll be back again Can't find a better man (x7) WHAT She speaks with the whip of a whispering wind I'm blown by the pieces and go tumbling She, she's got a way about her She has her way with me Embers of the fire that I'm smoldering She shows no sign of surrendering Me... I'm sworn to sacrifices She swears herself to me And she knew What, what do you want from me (x4) Lying in the barrel of a loaded gun She delivers her threats with a foreign tongue She She's got a way about her She She's not about to play with me Still I plea [chorus] What, What do you want from me (4x) Oh, What do you want from me Oh I said What, What do you want from me (4x) what do you want (7x) ANSWER Live for the evening Not silver and gold Love is an answer Why haven't we been told Father the lessons you taught us Don't work so well Live for the evening All I wanna do And all that I am sayin' Is that we can find some common ground No matter what you're wearing We don't have to fight and die like our fathers did Just relax for a second And use your head Live for each other The past is so long ago Love is an answer Now you've been told [same rap] Live for the evening The past is so long ago [same rap] JUST A BOOK [French] Back to the movie Back to the end Back before the tragedy began to begin Back to see all myself before I give in Work on paper Not atomic bombs Ink on paper Just to bloodshed turns into gold Back to my country Back for my eyes Back to find the company of somebody else Back to feel the eyes of the city and look for myself [chorus] I'm turning to run From my people From the place that I have known For my people I found myself I found myself all alone It's just a book It's just a tragedy What goes on It's just a book It's not written in blood You won't forget Except for sometimes Is there anyone you can trust [French] [chorus] It's just a book It's just a tragedy what goes on It's just a book It's not written in blood It's just a reflection of what goes on It's just a book It's not it's not Written in blood [French] And the bounty stands at five million ================================================================================ This songbook was updated on August 17, 1996 by Greg Benedict.
