Modern Love - Peter Gabriel



I trusted my Venus was untouched in her shell
But the pearls in her oyster were as tacky as hell
For Lady Godiva I came incognito
But her driver had stolen her red hot magneto
Ooh the pain -- Modern love can be a strain

So I worship Diana by the light of the moon
When I pull out my pipe she screams out of tune
In Paris my heart sinks when I see the Mona Lisa
She gives me the wink, then she shows me the freezer
Ooh the pain
Modern love can be a strain

Ghost Town - Cat Stevens


Come on lets go down
Everybody's waiting for us
Down at the ghost town
Bill Bailey said hed be around
If Mrs. G. Robinson would just put
That bad Havana down

Lovely Queen Anne Boleyn
Learning new tricks from the Great Houdini. Wo Wo
Now that's the way shes gonna make it Wo Wo

Come on
Come on lets go down
Everybody's waiting for us
Down at the boom town
O. Redding & Washington
Chico & Harpo & Karl are
In the Kitchen with mum

Buster Keaton & King Tut
Are waiting for Disney to wake up Wo Wo
Now that's the way
No that ain't the way hes gonna make it

Patti Smith
Gloria


And I said darling, tell me your name, she told me her name
She whispered to me, she told me her name
And her name is, and her name is, and her name is, and her name is g-l-o-r-i-a
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria
G-l-o-r-i-a gloria g-l-o-r-i-a gloria


Brian Setzer
Gloria



Gloria, Gloria
It's not Marie
Gloria, it's not SherieGloria, she's not in love with me

The Doors
Gloria


Gloria, gloria
Gloria, gloria
Gloria, gloria

All night, all day
All right, okey, yey!
(gloria, gloria)


U2
Gloria


I try to sing this song
I...I try to stand up
But I can't find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete

Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Gloria...Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips


Roy Orbison
Going Back To Gloria


Going back to Gloria,the girl Im dreaming of.
Going back to Gloria,Gloria my love.
Forget about the letters that i wrote to you.
Forget about the many things we used to do.
I don’t want you to cry,but I must say goodbye.
So long you’re on your own.
Going home,going back to Gloria.

Iggy Pop
Candy


It's a rainy afternoon
In 1990
The big city geez it's been 20 years-
Candy-you were so fine

Beautiful beautiful
Girl from the north
You burned my heart
With a flickering torch
I had a dream that no one else could see
You gave me love for free

candy, candy , Candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so

Jackson Browne
Candy


Daughter of a woman who comes and goes,
Candy
Daugher of a man she barely knows,
Candy

Angel Of Mercy - Dire Straits


Well there's a Peter Pan moon, shepherd's delight
I got the dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight
Now I want my reward in heaven tonight, just like you promised

The lamb Lies On Broadway - Genesis' Peter Gabriel


Suzanne tired her work all done,
Thinks money-honey-be on-neon.
Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn
And the sawdust king spits out his scorn.
Wonder women draw your blind!
Don't look at me! I'm not your kind.
I'm Rael!
Something inside me has just begun,
Lord knows what I have done,
And the lamb lies down on Broadway.
On Broadway-
They say the lights are always bright on Broadway.
They say there's always magic in the air.

Marianne Faithful
The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan



The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of lucy
jordan
In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town
As she lay there 'neath the covers dreaming of a
thousand lovers
Till the world turned to orange and the room went
spinning round.


Concrete Blonde
Joey


Joey, baby, don't get crazyDetours, fences, I get defensive
I know you've heard it all before, so I don't say it anymoreI just stand by and let you fight your secret warAnd though I used to wonder why I used to cry till I was dryStill sometimes I get a strange pain insideOh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I
Joey, honey, I've got the moneyAll is forgiven, listen, listen
And if I seem to be confused I didn't mean to be with youAnd when you said I scared you, well, I guess you scared me tooBut we got lucky once before and I don't wanna close the doorAnd if you're somewhere out there passed out on the floorOh, Joey, I'm not angry anymore


Genesis
The Battle Of Epping Forrest


Along the Forest Road, there's hundreds of cars - luxury carsEach has got its load of convertible bars, cutlery cars - superscarsFor today is the day when they sort it out, sort it outCos they disagree on a gangland boundaryCos they disagree on a gangland boundaryThere's Willy Wright and his boys - one helluva noise, that's Billy's boysWith fully-fashioned mugs, that's Little John's thugs, the Barking Slugs - supersmugsFor today is the day when they sort it out, sort it outYes, these Christian soldiers fight to protect the poorEast-End heroes got to score in ...The Battle of Epping ForestYes it's the Battle of Epping ForestRight outside our doorNo, you ain't seen nothing like thisNo, you ain't seen nothing like thisNot since the Civil WarComing over the hill are the boys of Bill, and Johnny's lads stand very stillWith the thumpire's shout, they all start to clout - there's no guns in this gentlemen's boutGeorgie moves in on the outside left with a chain flying round his headAnd Harold Demure, from Art Literature, nips up the nearest tree(Here come the cavalry)Amidst the battle roarAccountants keep the score: 10 - 4They've never been alone, after getting a radiophoneThe bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam, real hamHanding out bread and jam just like any picnic, picnic, picnic, picnicIt's 5 - 4 on William Wright, he made his pile on Derby nightWhen Billy was a kid, walking the streets, the other kids hid - so they didNow, after working hard in security trade, he's got it madeThe shops that need aid are those that haven't paid"I do my double-show quick", said Mick the Prick, fresh out the nick"I sell cheap holiday. The minute they leave, then a visit I pay - and does it pay"And his friend, Liquid Len by name, of Wine Women and Wandsworth fameSaid: "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framedI'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framed, got me framed"They called me the Reverend when I entered the Church unstainedMy employers have changed but the name has remainedIt all began when I went on a tour, hoping to find some furnitureFollowed a sign saying "Beautiful Chest", led to a lady who showed me her best.She was taken by surprise when I quickly closed my eyesSo she rang the bell, and quick as hellBob the Nob came out on his job to see what the trouble was"Louise, is the Reverend hard to please ?""You're telling me""Perhaps, Sir, if it's not too late, we could interest you in our old-fashioned Staffordshire plate ?""Oh no, not me, I'm a man of repute"But the Devil caught hold of my soul and a voice called out, "Shoot"To save my steeple, I visited peopleFor this I had gone when I met Little JohnHis name came, I understoodWhen the judge said, "You are a robbing hood"He told me of his strange foundationConceived on sight of the Woodstock nationHe'd had to hide his reputationWhen poor, 'twas salvation from door to doorBut now, with a pin-up guru every weekIt was Love, Peace & Truth Incorporated for all who seekHe employed me as a karmamechanic, with overal charmsHis hands were then fit to receive, receive almsThat's why we're in ...Battle of Epping ForestYes, it's the Battle of Epping ForestRight outside your doorWe guard your souls for peanutsAnd we guard your shops and housesFor just a little moreJust a little moreIn with a left hook is the Bethnal Green ButcherBut he's countered on the right by Mick's chaingang fightAnd Liquid Len, with his smashed bottle menIs lobbing Bob the Nob across the gobWith his kisser in a mess, Bob seems under stressBut Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mugAnd Harold Demure, who's still not quite sureFires acorns from out of his sling(Here come the cavalry)Up, up above the crowdInside their Silver Cloud, done proudThe bold and brazen brass, seen darkly through the glassThe butler's got jam on his Rolls; Roy doles out the lotWith tea from a silver pot just like any picnic, picnic, picnic, picnicAlong the Forest Road, it's the end of the day and the Clouds roll awayEach has got its load - they'll come out for the count at the break-in of dayWhen the limos return for their final review, it's all through- All they can see is the morning goo"There's no one left alive - it must be a draw"So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the score

The Kinks

Ballad Of Julie Finkle



I first met Julie a long time ago,
staring up at me from the front row
She had a timeless glow, she was the image of youth
that never grows old or gets long in the tooth
And who would think after all these years
that good fortune would smile my way
She's a symbol of all that I believe in
She was there at the beginning, she's still out there today

Bernadette


I don't wanna leave, Bernadette,
But I don't wanna live with the jet set.
I don't wanna leave with you payin' all my debts,
With that alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.

David Watts



Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa
Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa

I am a dull and simple lad
Can not tell water from champagne
And I have never met the queen
And I wish I could have all that he has got
I wish I could be like David Watts

Dear Margaret


Dear Margaret I beg of you
Dear Margaret gonna tell on you
Don't want to be patronized
By those lying eyes
Dear Margaret I wanted you

Destroyer


Met a girl called Lola and I took her back to my place
Feelin' guilty, feelin' scared, hidden cameras everywhere
Stop! Hold on. Stay in control

Harry Rag


Ah, Tom is young and Tom is bold
Tom is as bold as the knights of old
But whenever he gets in a bit of a jam
There's nothing he won't do to get a harry rag

Harry rag, harry rag
Do anything just to get a harry rag
And he curses himself for the life he's led
And rolls himself a harry rag and puts himself to bed

Jack The Idiot Dunce


Who's the fool with the cross-eyed stare,
The turned up nose and moronic glare?
Who's that simpleton standing over there?
Jack, Jack the Idiot Dunce.

Lola



I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne
It tastes just like Coca Cola, C-O-L-A cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice
She said Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola, L-L-Lola
