PERFECT DAY

Just a perfect day
drink Sangria in the park
And then later
when it gets dark, we go home

Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
Then later
a movie, too, and then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spend it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
it's such fun

Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was
someone else, someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way
shaved her leg and then he was a she
She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the island
in the backroom she was everybody's darling

But she never lost her head
even when she was given head
She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
and the coloured girls go

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

(doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
(doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo)

Little Joe never once gave it away
everybody had to pay and pay

A hustle here and a hustle there
New York city is the place where they said
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I Said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
lookin' for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the Apollo
you should have seen him go go go
They said, hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
all right, hun

Jackie is just speeding away
thought she was James Dean for a day

Then I guess she had to crash
valium would have helped that dash
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
and the coloured girls say

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

VICIOUS

Vicious
you hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
oh, baby, you're so vicious

Vicious
you want me to hit you with a stick
But all I've got is a guitar pick
huh, baby, you're so vicious

When I watch you come
baby, I just want to run far away
You're not the kind of person around I
want to stay

When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I want to meet

Oh, baby, you're so vicious
you're so vicious

Vicious
hey, you hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
oh, baby you're so vicious

Vicious
hey, why don't you swallow razor blades
You must think that I'm some kind of gay blade
but baby, you're so vicious

When I see you coming
I just have to run
You're not good and you certainly aren't
very much fun

When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I'd even want to meet

'Cause you're so vicious
baby, you're so vicious
Vicious, vicious
vicious, vicious
Vicious, vicious
vicious, vicious

ROCK AND ROLL HEART

I don't like opera and I don't like ballet
and new-waves French movies, they just drive me away
I guess I'm just dumb, 'cause I knows I ain't smart
but deep down inside, I got a rock'n'roll heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, deep down inside I got a rock'n'roll heart

Oh, rock'n'roll heart
looking for a good time
Just a rock'n'roll heart, roll heart, roll heart
looking for a good time

I don't like massages or something meant to say
and I wish people like that would just go away
I guess I'm just dumb, 'cause I knows I not smart
but deep down inside, I got a rock'n'roll heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah, deep down inside I got a rock'n'roll heart

Yeah, rock'n'roll heart
search for a good time
Just a rock'n'roll heart, roll heart, roll heart
looking for a good time

Yeah, just a rock'n'roll heart
looking for a good time
Just a rock'n'roll heart, roll heart, yeah, roll heart
looking for a good time, yeah, now

Yeah, got a rock'n'roll heart
searching for a good time
Got a rock'n'roll heart
searching for a good time
Just a rock'n'roll heart
yeah, searching for a good time
Yeah, got a rock'n'roll heart
yeah, now, now, searching for a good time
Let me hear you, now
oh, let me hear you, now

THE GUN

The man has a gun, he knows how to use it
Nine millimeter Browning, let's see what he can do
He'll point at your mouth, says that he'll blow your brains out
Don't mess with me, carrying a gun
Carrying a gun, carrying a gun
Don't you mess with me, carrying a gun
Carrying a gun, carrying a gun
Don't you mess with me, mmm ... carrying a gun
Get over there, move slowly
I'll put a hole in your face, if you even breathe a word
Tell the lady to lie down, I want you to be sure to see this
I wouldn't want you to miss a second, watch your wife
Carrying a gun, shooting with a gun
Dirty animal
Carrying a gun, carrying a gun
Watch you face, carrying a gun
Carrying a gun, carrying a gun
The animal dies, with fear in his eyes, with a gun
don't touch him, don't touch him
Stay away from him, he's got a gun

I LOVE YOU SUZANNE

You broke my heart and you made me cry
you said that I couldn't dance
But now I'm back to let you know
that I can really make romance

You do what you gotta do
you do everything you can
You do what you wanna do
hey, but I love you, Suzanne

You do anything once
you try anything twice
You so what you gotta do
hey, but I love you, Suzanne, hey, hey

Do what you wanna do
you do what you can
You do what you wanna do
but I love you, Suzanne

I love you when you're good
baby, I love you when you're bad
You do what you gotta do
hey, but I love you, Suzanne

Do what you wanna do
hey, baby, do what you can
You do what you wanna do, baby
but I love you, Suzanne

I know you, try anything once, baby
you try anything twice
Do what you gotta do
but I love you, Suzanne

I love you when you're good, baby
I love you when you're bad
Do what you wanna do
ooohhh, but I love you, Suzanne, hey, hey

Hey, I love you, Suzanne
I love you, Suzanne
I love you, Suzanne

Do what you wanna do
hey, you do what you can
You do what you wanna do
hey, but I love you, Suzanne

You try anything once
you do anything twice
Do what you wanna do
you know that I love you, Suzanne

CAROLINE SAYS II

Caroline says
as she gets up off the floor
Why is it that you beat me
it isn't any fun

Caroline says
as she makes up her eyes
You ought to learn more about yourself
think more than just I

But she's not afraid to die
all her friends call her "Alaska"
When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

What is in her mind
what is in her mind

Caroline says
as she gets up from the floor
You can hit me all you want to
but I don't love you anymore

Caroline says
while biting her lip
Life is meant to be more than this
and this is a bum trip

But she's not afraid to die
all her friends call her "Alaska"
When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

What is in her mind
what is in her mind

She put her fist through the window pane
It was such a funny feeling

It's so cold in Alaska
it's so cold in Alaska
It's so cold in Alaska

MEN OF GOOD FORTUNE

Men of good fortune
often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings
often can't do anything at all

The rich son waits for his father to die
the poor just drink and cry
And me, I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune
very often can't do a thing
While men of poor beginnings
often can do anything

At heart they try to act like a man
handle things the best way they can
They have no rich, daddy to fall back on

Men of good fortune
often cause empires to fall
While men of poor beginnings
often can't do anything at all

It takes money to make money they say
look at the Fords, but didn't they start that way
Anyway, it makes no difference to me

Men of good fortune
often wish that they could die
While men of poor beginnings
want what they have and to get it they'll die

All those great things that live has to give
they wanna have money and live
But me, I just don't care at all

Men of good fortune
men of poor beginnings
Men of good fortune
men of poor beginnings
Men of good fortune
men of poor beginnings
Men of good fortune
men of poor beginnings

MY FRIEND GEORGE

Read in the paper about a man killed with a sword
and that made my think of my friend George
and that made my think of my friend George
People said the man was five foot six
sounds like George with his killing stick

Hey Bro. what's the word
talkin' 'bout My Friend George
Hey Bro. what's the word
talkin' 'bout My Friend George
You're talkin' 'bout My Friend George

I knew George since he's eight
I always thought that he was great
Anything that George would do
you know that I would do it too

George liked music and George liked to fight
he worked out in a downtown gym every night
I'd spar with him when work has done
we split lips but it was all in fun

Hey Bro. what's the word
talkin' 'bout My Friend George
Hey Bro. what's the word
talkin' 'bout My Friend George

Next thing I hear George's got this stick
and using it for more than kicks
I see him down at Smalley's bar
he was wired up, I tried to calm him down

Avenge yourself he says to me
avenge yourself for humanity
Avenge yourself for the weak and the poor
stick it to these guys fight through their heads

Well, the fight is my music, the stick is my sword
and you know that I love you, so please don't say a word
Can't you gear the music playing, the anthem, it's my call
and the last I seen of George was him running through the door

I says, Hey Bro. what's the word
talkin' 'bout My Friend George
Hey Bro. what's the word
you're talkin' 'bout My Friend George
Talkin' 'bout My Friend George

Hey Bro. what's the word
you're talkin' 'bout My Friend George
Hey Bro. what's the word

LISA SAYS

Lisa says, on a night like this
it'd be so nice, if you gave me a great big kiss
And Lisa says, honey, for just one little smile
I'll sing and play for you for the longest while

Lisa says
Lisa says
Lisa says, oh, no
Lisa says

Lisa says, honey, you must think I'm some kind of California fool
the way you treat me just like some kind of tool
Lisa says, hey baby, if you stick your tongue in my ear
then the scene around here will become very clear

Lisa says, oh no
Lisa says, hey, don't you be a little baby
Lisa says, oh, no
Lisa says

Hey, if you're looking for a good time Charlie
well, that's not really what I am
You know, some good time Charlie
always out, having his fun

But if you're looking for some good, good lovin'
then sit yourself right over here
You know that those good, those good times
they just seem to pass me by, just like pie in the sky

And Lisa says, on a night like this
it'd be so nice if you gave me a great big kiss
And Lisa says, hey baby, for just one little smile
I'll sing and play for you for the longest while
let me hear you now

Lisa says, oh, no, no
Lisa says, hey, don't you be a little baby
Lisa says, oh, no
Lisa says

Why am I so shy
Why am I so shy, Gee, you know those
good good times, they just seem to pass me by
Why am I so shy

First time I saw you I was talking to myself
I said, hey, you got such pretty, pretty eyes
(that pretty eyes)

Now that you're next to me I just get so upset
And Lisa, will you tell me, why am I so shy

Why am I so shy
Why am I so shy, well, you know that those
good, good times, they just seem to pass me by
Why am I so shy

And Lisa says, on a night like this
it'd be so nice if you gave me a great big kiss
And Lisa says, honey, for just one little smile
I'll sing and play for you for the longest while

Lisa says, oh, no, now
Lisa says, hey don't you be a little baby
Lisa says, oh, no
Lisa says

I WANT TO BOOGIE WITH YOU

Hey, pretty baby
don't you think you might give me a chance
Get it on with me
go down-town for some loving romance
And I know I ain't nothing
I ain't worth but a thin dime
But if you put your heart in my hands
I'm sure that I could change your mind

I wanna boogie with you
Yeah, I wanna boogie with you

There's something, baby, on which your parents
both agree
And that is that they both have a
deep distrust for me
And your best friend Frankie
well, I know, your best friend Frankie, he wants to see me sink
And I don't much blame him for that
he gets so useless after so few drinks, you know, baby

I wanna boogie with you
I wanna boogie with you

Well, I know your little baby sister
she thinks that I'm a flop
Well, I guess that you know that it's true
I spent more time at the bottom than the top
Tell your little sister
I know she wants to give me a whirl
But I don't have the time, baby
to wait till she's grown up, and she's a woman, not a girl

Don't you know, I wanna boogie with you
Hey, I wanna boogie with you
I wanna boogie with you
I wanna boogie with you, yeah

Boogie with you
Down by the corner
We'll be able to, yeah

OCEAN

Here comes the ocean
and the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
and the waves where have they been

Don't swim tonight my love, the sea is mad my love
it's known to drive men crazy
Now come that murder seeks, the castle is dead and reeks
the madness can make you hazy

But here come the waves
down by the shore
Washing the rocks that have been here
centuries or more

Down by the sea

Here come the ocean
and the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
and the waves where have they been

Castle's glowing at night, towers above out fright
what did happen here
Now comes it in my head, serve you bread on a pledge
think of your mouth for dinner

But here come the waves
down by the sea
Washing the eyes of the men
who have died

Down by the sea

Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves

THE LAST SHOT

Last shot sure killed me
pour another drink
Let's drink to the last shot
and the blood on the dishes in the sink
Blood inside the coffee cup
blood on the table top

But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish, that's you
you knew it was your last shot
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish, that's you
you knew it was your last shot

I shot blood at the fly on the wall
my heart almost stopped, hardly there at all
I broke the mirror with my fall, with my
fall - fall - fall, fall - fall - fall

Gimme a double, give yourself one, two
gimme a short beer, one for you too
And a toast to everything that doesn't move
that doesn't move

But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish, that's you
you knew it was your last shot
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish, that's you
you knew it was your last shot

Whiskey, bourbon, vodka and scotch
I don't care what it is you've got
I just want to know that it's my last shot
my last shot

I remember when I quit pretty good
see, this here's where I chipped my tooth
Shot a vein in my neck and I coughed up a quaalude
on my last shot, my last shot

Here's a toast to all that's good
and here's a toast to hate
And here's a toast to toasting and I'm not boasting
when I say I'm getting straight, when I say I'm getting straight

But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish, that's you
You knew it was your last shot
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish, that's you
You knew it was your last shot

I WANNA BE BLACK

I wanna be black, have natural rhythm
Shoot twenty foot of jism too
and fuck up the jews

I wanna be black, I wanna be a panther
Have a girlfriend named Samantha
and have a stable of foxy whores
Oh, oh, I wanna be black

I don't wanna be a fucked up
middle class college student anymore
I just wanna have a stable of
foxy little whores
Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black
Oh, oh, I wanna be black

And get myself shot in spring

And pass the hex
over President Kennedy's tomb
and have a big prick, too

Oh, I don't wanna be a fucked up
middle class college student no more
Yeah, I just wanna have a
stable of foxy little whores

Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black
I wanna be black
I wanna be black
I wanna be black

(Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black, oh, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black, oh, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, I wanna be black, oh, oh)

SALLY CAN'T DANCE

Sally dances on the floor
she says that she can't do it anymore
She walks down St. Marks Place
and eats natural food at my place

Now Sally can't dance no more
she can't get off of the floor
Sally can't dance no more
they found her in the trunk of a Ford
ooohhh, she can't dance no more

Sally is loosing her face
she lives on St. Marks Place
In a rent-controlled apartment, eighty dollars a month
she has lots of fun, she has lots of fun, but

Sally can't dance no more, ooohhh
Sally can't dance no more
She took too much meth and can't get off the floor
now Sally, she can't dance no more

She was the first girl in the neighborhood
to wear tied-dyed pants, ah, like she should
She was the first girl that I ever seen
that had flowers painted on her jeans
She was the first girl in her neighborhood
who got raped on Tompkins Square, real good
Now she wears a sword, like Napoleon
and she kills the boys and acts like a son

Sally can't dance no more, ooohhh, now
Sally can't dance no more
She can't get herself off the floor, ah, huh
Sally, ooohhh, she can't dance no more

Watch this, now

Sally became a big model
she moved up to eighties and park
She had a studio apartment
and that's where she used to ball, folk singers
and that's where she used to ball, folk singers, but

Sally, she can't dance no more
Sally, she can't dance no more
Sally can't get herself off of the floor
now, Sally, she can't dance no more
(Sally can't dance)
(Sally can't dance)

She knew all the really right people
she went to Le Jardin
She danced with Picasso's illegitimate mistress
and wore Kenneth Lane jewels, really it's trash, but

Sally can't dance no more, ooohhh
Sally can't dance no more
She can't get herself off of the floor
now, Sally, ooohhh, she can't dance no more, no more
Dance, no more can't ...
(Sally can't dance, Sally can't dance)
(Sally can't dance, Sally can't dance)
(Sally can't dance, Sally can't dance)
(Sally can't dance, Sally can't dance)

CONEY ISLAND BABY

You know, man, when I was a young man in high school
You believe in or not, I wanted to play football for the coach
And all those older guys, they said he was mean and cruel
but you know, I wanted to play football for the coach
They said I was to little too light weight to play line-backer
so I say I'm playing right-end
Wanted to play football for the coach
'Cause, you know some day, man, you gotta stand up straight
unless you're gonna fall
Then you're gonna die
And the straightest dude I ever knew
was standing right for me, all the time
So I had to play football for the coach
And I wanted to play football for the coach

When you're all alone and lonely in your midnight hour
And you find that your soul, it has been up for sale

And you begin to think 'bout all the things that you've done
And you begin to hate just 'bout everything

But remember the princess who lived on the hill
Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong
And right now she just might come shining through
and the -

- Glory of love, glory of love
glory of love, just might come through

And all your two-bit friends have gone and ripped you off
They're talking behind your back saying, man
you're never going to be a human being
And you start thinking again
'bout all those things that you've done
And who it was and what it was
and all the different things you made every different scene

Ah, but remember that the city is a funny place
Something like a circus or a sewer
And just remember, different people have peculiar tastes
and the -

- Glory of love, the glory of love
the glory of love, might see you through
yeah, but now, now
Glory of love, the glory of love
the glory of love, might see you through
Glory of love, ah, huh, huh, the glory of love
Glory of love, glory of love
Glory of love, now, glory of love, now
Glory of love, now, now, now, glory of love
Glory of love, give it to me now, glory of love see you through
Oh, my Coney Island baby, now
(I'm a Coney Island baby, now)
I'd like to send this one out for Lou and Rachel
and the Lord appeared and P.S. one ninety-two
Coney Island baby
Man, I'd swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you

BERLIN

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Caroline
Happy birthday to you)

In Berlin by the wall
you were five foot ten inches tall
It was very nice
candlelight and Dubonnet on ice

We were in a small cafe
you could hear the guitars play
It was very nice
oh, honey, it was paradise

SATELLITE OF LOVE

Satellite's gone
up to the skies
Thing like that drive me
out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV

Satellite of love

Satellite's gone
way up to Mars
Soon it will be filled
with parking cars

I watch it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV

Satellite of love

I've been told that you've been bold
with Harry, Mark and John
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday to Thursday
with Harry, Mark and John

Satellite's gone

Thing like that drive me
out of my mind

I watched it for a little while
I love to watch things on TV
