he comes walkin' up the sidewalk real slow
with some girl nobody's seen before
she' got her fingers wrapped around his right arm
he moves along like he ain't with no one
gold granny glasses a pocket full of cash and
a big diamond watch but he don't ever check the time
his girly knocks on the big yellow door
it opens wide, they start to roar
now is the time
the moment has arrived
get on your wild side
here comes goodtimes deville
he's gonna make everything better
it's goodtimes deville
he's gonna put it all together
he tells his skirt take a seat on the couch
everybody moves as he walks through the house
he gives the DJ somethin' to play
some tracks he's been layin' down in the city
gold granny glasses slide into his pocket
he tells his girly to get up on the floor
soon everybody is up doin' the same
till there aint nobody sittin'
in the whole damn place y'all
now is the time
the moment has arrived
get on your wild side
(chorus)
gold granny sparklin' on his lady
he tells some people he's got people to meet
he's got this thing
you know how them things are
he shoots a smile then he's out down the street yea
now is the time
the moment has arrived
get on your wild side
(chorus)

you there
doing that thing to me
is that who you are
have you another identity
'cause i'm in the jungle
surrounded by tigers
waiting for someone
to save me from the fire
could you be my hero
my second chance
could you be my hero
and come take my hand
and lead me out on the floor
under the flickering lights
you spinning in my arms
maybe you could save my life
sliding
a step i've never seen before
oh, you float like you're almost asleep
your feet don't even touch the floor
and i'm tied to the railraoad track
the 5:15 coming
waiting for someone who can outrun it
(chorus)
wonder woman's invisible plane
is broken and in the shop
and batgirl's busy in metropolis
chatching bad guys for the cops
and jamie summers' bionic body
was the victim of a hard drive crash
and the powerepuff girls
are taking their afternoon nap
i'm on the rooftop
the heat burning through my shoes
hoping you'll see the smoke
and run to your phone booth
(chorus)

i see you looking way across the room
maybe that one, maybe that one
how 'bout the one with the tattoos
it ain't my business baby you can do what you will
ain't no body who can tell somebody
how to get their thrills
but if i told you 'bout the bird in the hand
would that make your fool head understand
i'm in position
i'm all set
i'm in position
i'm ready to hit
i'm position
don't you think i should
i'm in position
i could love you good, yes i could
well you've got a way with a groove and a track
you look for a second just like lee remick
when you threw your shoulders back
but there ain't no reason honey to go
out and advertise
can't you see that somebody's already gone and
fallen for the pitch tonight
why bother draggin' that sign around
when what you need is right here right now
i'm in position
let me show you what i got
i'm in position
i'm right on the spot
i'm position
in the neighborhood
i'm in position
i could love you good, yes i could
someday baby when the mornin' comes
and the curtains glow with the morning sun
you'll find out what the truth is then
you'll wake up with your ready man
excuse me
can you hear the words that are comin' real strong
right out of my mouth
is your aerial up is your radar on
is there anybody home, is the signal strong
i've been shoutin' like an auctioneer
tryin' to wedge a love song down into your ear
is anything i'm sayin' hittin' home
like maybe you don't have to be alone
don't go out by yourself tonight
when you can just lay back and let me drive
i'm in position
i'm all set
i'm in position
i'm ready to hit
i'm position
don't you think i should
i'm in position
i could love you good, yes i could

i found my good thing
04:20
|

how come you ain't listnin' to me
said the dude with the bottle in his hand
don't you know that the sky comin' down like a load
of bricks from a dimp truck
but you can't see it 'cause you're stuck
in your little fairy tale land
can't see the road's end
can't see the cliff's edge
can't hear a thing 'cause of the noise in your head
i walk along, i just wave
i tell that freak he can just have a nice day
he yells at my back as i move down the track
with my half-time new-found cadence
someone is waitin', i can't be delayin'
he keeps yellin' but i ain't listening
i found my good thing
i found my good thing
i found my good thing
and i ain't ever gonna give it up
i found my good thing
i found my good thing
i found my good thing
and i ain't ever gonna give it up
hold out your hand, take this bottle
you can tell me how you did tomorrow
this stuff will make you feel like ceasar
keep it tucked way back in the freezer
and if you run out there aint no doubt
it ain't no trouble to make it out to your house
i'll bring the trim and the beefeater gin
anything you want, anything you're missin'
(chorus)
i'm surrounded by the vibration of the moving people
some of them busy, some of them lonely
some of them, i just can't tell
but in the shadows and reflections
the hidden question still confounds
the subconcious mind of the ever searching
the lost and looking, the poor and wanting
the unanswered question still hangs looming
above the wild and restless city
that dares the rich man and the begger
to look inside the empty doorway
where is found the fragile answer
resting in an unseen corner
love is all we have and is all we ever will have
i climb the stairs up to a door
i turn the knob i cross the floor
i hang my coat on that thing that you bought
from the 99 cent store
i go 9 steps on down the hall
i hear goodtimes deville on
i know that you've been busy
i ask you to wait but you aint listening
(chorus)

my jane
04:24

I, apostrophe
L, L again will be around
no matter how hard it gets
we, apostrophe
L, L again will make it through the darkest blues
until it's bright again
sometimes the only thing to do is just
outlast the rain
and no one is coming in between me and
my jane
A, double L
of the things the grape vine brings
don't count at all 'cause they're all wrong
just wait and see
'cause there's no one else, it's all a lie
and they'll all see, with enough time
'cause no one can understand my beautiful dream
(chorus)
and she may not be here right now
but she's on her way, she won't let me down
i think about all those months ago
when she let me know
she told me so
that she was sure
and she could never want no more
(chorus)

what it is
03:59
|

|
our last goodbye was a memory to throw back
i know us baby we can be so much better that that
the more we try to save it
the more we try to break it
or drive a wedge between us
it doesn't make a difference
'cause nobody understands the first thing about love
what it is, what it is, is what it is
and nothing is gonna change it
we can cry about it all night long
in the morning we'll have to face it
what it is, what it is, is what it is
and you and i know
the only thing that we can do is either stay or go
some days are easy, loose and fine
the skies are breezy i love those "sometimes"
but like spring time weather
you and i together
defy real prediction
till the tears start raining
and nobody understands the first thing about love
(chorus)
in between the words
and the fights in the front yard
in between the looks
are moments that bond hearts
but nobody knows anything, anything about love
(chorus)

close to love
03:58
|
|||
|
i saw fireworks, overhead
when our eyes first met
it was destiny and we could see where we wanted to go
i was young, you were too
and sometimes life can be so cruel when it wants
but we got so close to love
just a little push, another foot
and we'd be writing our book
pages and pages to the story of a happy life
i held on tight, you did too
but the wind of change came and blew us apart
but we got so close to love
and when i see lovers out holding hands
acting like the world don't matter to them
i want to say good luck, i want to say good for you
'cause i know, i know, i know what the worlsd can do
and you do too
and in future days we'll recall
how we almost had it all and lost
but we got close to love

movin' time
03:25
|

|
you've spent enough time talking to your friend
feelin' that drink gettin' warm in your hand
and i've spent enough time talking to john
i tell ya that guy, he can go on and on
come with me baby and take my hand
never turn down your man
it's movin' time
get your thing on
it's time to thrill everyone
it's movin' time
baby you're so smooth
i just wanna watch ya move
yea i do
and then you hit the floor at last
they stare at you like a ten-car crash
and everybody starts to sway
they gather 'round salome
ya know nothin' good ever happens in this town
till you bring the house down

hillbillies got soul
03:32
|
|||
|
walk with me baby down a road with no sign
way out in the hills
where the postman don't ever come by
there are some boys that i know, i know
who like to take it slow
and let the feed grow
and they may have a little hay on their clothes
but the hillbillies got soul
i can hear the music rising up by the water tank
it sounds like the reverend's got his sermon in full swing
and the lesson is told
and sure ain't rock 'n' roll
and they may be white as snow
the hillbillies got soul
ride with us baby in the sun down the canyon road
watch the jackrabbits make a fool of that old dog
a warm feeling grows
and lord it feels like home
and they may play old banjos
and they may have a little hay on their clothes
and the might be as white as snow
but the hillbillies got soul

i know
life is a rocky road
and the only thing that's for sure
is frustration and bangin' against the wall
but mixed
in with the sorrow
ain't there a little hope
it's a question with an answer i want to know
are you having you a good time
as the rollercoaster hills go by
do you still thrill in the sunshine
and play your music real loud at night
and when they ask you if your hear still works
after all the times that it's been hurt
are you laughin' inside your mind
are you having you a good time
sometimes
you just can't recall
what the hell is the point of it all
and why there are so many tears
but you climb
up the endless hill
trying to remember the thrill
when the world look so broken. still,
in the 10 mile lines
and the no money times
and the incomplete songs
and the love that's gone wrong
and the dark stormy days
soaked up in the rain
do you feel in the pain
a wonder that won't ever change
