SLOW MOTION - LYRICS

Slow motion, slow motion baby
We want our love to last
Everything's so rushed
Why try to go so fast
It's easy to lose sight
And then the moment's passed

Go easy, go easy baby
You know there's time for us
Even though this world seems to be speeding up
Maybe we can try to slow things down

Because we need to draw the line (draw the line)
Because we need to make the time
Because we need to sip the wine (sip the wine)
Because the, the clock is running
It's going so fast
The future's comin' but it's soon to pass
It's here today and there's no turning back

Go lightly, go lightly baby
In time we'll find a way
It's never over, till it's over
Why rush it through
Never pausing to admire the view

Slow motion, if we get tired
Then we can rest awhile
If we're gonna go, we're gonna go in style
Isn't that what life is all about

 

Little By Little

Ooh wow....
I dont know any more
Just don't know any more

But think of what you're saying
I really think you should
You'd better stop complaining
It won't do you any good
You know you should have done the right thing
When you drew your master plan
But little by little
I tried to make you understand
Little by little
I tried to make you understand

Ooh wow....
You dont know anymore
Got so far from the shore

You're one in a million
If you could only see
You've less than perfect vision
Can't see the woods before the trees
Gonna to shake you till your bell rings
You're like a ship that's lost at sea
But little by little
I'm going to bring you back to me
Little by little
I'm gonna to bring you back to me

Well you gotta get back home
(You gotta get back home)
Cos you gotta change your ways
(You gotta change your ways)
Can't do it all alone
(Can't do it all alone)
Cos you've got too much at stake
(You've got too much at stake)
So get to it right away
Ooh woah woaah

I'm going to set out on a rescue
Until this mission is complete
I hear you know I'm going to get you
I'll make you listen to my plea
Ah yeah you thought the grass was greener
But then it didn't prove to be
But little by little
I'm going to bring you back to me
A little by little
I'm going to bring you back to me

Well little by little.....
(Repeat to fade)

Broken Hearted

You make me nervous when you're flying around
The secret service couldn't track you down
You tell me no then you kiss me
You say hello then you ditch me
You try to run when you see me

I never knew what this dream is about
You say let's go then you're lost in the crowd
I don't know where you're going
You phone and choke
Then you show
I don't know then I'm knowing

You're always busy when I call on the phone
(Stop stop)
I'm broken hearted are you made out of stone
(Stop stop)
Snakes alive are you dreaming
It's 6 to 5 and I'm leaving
I can't stand no more teasing

I wrote a letter I couldn't get her
Some other fella was going to tell her
This kind of weather you need a sweater
It's geting wetter drink Amaretto
Light as a feather
Ain't no one better
You wearing leather
Ain't nothing better
I'm going to ?redher
Simply Lambretto
I want to wed her
The day I met her

Love me hug me shove me you blow me away
You bug me snug me club me you fill me with with praise
You tell me this way or that way
But take it thin way or fat way
I say it's my way or highway

You're always busy when I call on the phone
(Stop stop yeah you're bugging me)
I'm broken hearted are you made out of stone
(Stop stop yeah you're bugging me)
Snakes alive are you grieving?
It's 6 to 5 and I'm leaving
I can't stand no more teasing

Over You

Trouble is my calling card that's my middle name
Ever since you walked away
Things are not the same
Now my life is misery, don't know what to do
Yeah you're gone you're history
But I can't get over, over you
Over you, over you, over you

Used to be in Shangri-la
Life used to be so good
You and me were going so far
That was understood
Ever since you walked away
My world has turned so blue
Now I live from day to day
Cos I can't get over, over you
Over you, over you, over you

Give our love another chance (another chance)
You can make it so (make it so)
Just how long this can go so wrong
I will never know...

Well I want you right next to me
And that's all I can say
I've been calling ever since you drove me away
You were on my mind so long
It's hard for me to take
Now my heart is not so strong
And if I break over you, over you
Over you, over you

Oh yeah over you, over you
Over you, over you
Give our love another chance (another chance)
You can make it so (make it so)
Just how long this can go so wrong
I will never know...

Woah noooo

You can wear a wig
And some elevator shoes
You can make yourself twice as big
And I'll still be coming after you

Tenth Avenue Breakdown

Well now how you doin'
Do I know you
Are you living round here
Or just passing through
Seems like I met you before
Well how you do
Take care while you're in there
The lights are low
Though the gals are good
They're not the kind you want to know
Sit back, and drink a stiff one - enjoy the show

They got nothing for you
None that I can see
Nothing that will do me wrong
Cos I'm in my disguise
they'll never get by
Ain't nothing that can cause alarm

One kill that'll do you
You won't look back
You'll be feeling no pain
Put you right on track
Why don't you do it again
Ah now you're getting the knack
Let's go to a new place
The lights look good
Reflecting the rain across the neighbourhood
Who's that over there
Looks like he's up to no good

Hey what you doing to me
Is that a knife that I see
Well are you trying to run me down

Im a tryin' to run
But my legs have gone numb
Like I'm messin' with the wrong side of town
You're on the wrong station
You're on the wrong track
You've no reservation
Now you bring it back
You're getting a shake down
Unlucky for me
10th avenue breakdown

Getting rough
Yes too tough
I'm all abused
So confused
Got to go
Feel so low
Just can't wait
It's gettin' late

Get down now...
Put your hands behind your head......
You have the right to remain silent ....
Anything you say can be used against you .....]

Don't know his name
It just set upon
Got a bag
And I'm, I'm feelin' ? rotten
But you must believe me
He just stopped breathing
I didn't do it
It wasn't me
I know it wasn't me

Gettin' late
We can't afford to wait
It's gettin' late
We can't afford to wait
It's gettin' late
We can't afford to wait
It's gettin' late
We can't afford to wait

Sting in the Tail

Well I don't care about the summer rain
I know it's good for the garden
Don't care what blue skies
They turn to grey
When you come around
And try to run me down
Storm clouds darken...mmm...yeah

I don't get down when the fields go brown
It's just a charm of the season
Well things in nature have their reason
But when you come along and try to do me wrong

Well the first time I'll ignore it
But don't you push beyond the pale
But then you're going to find there's no more water in the well
And you may think you're going to walk right all over me
But there's a sting in the tail of this honey bee

The wind blows cold as the year grows old
Yeah that's just the natural way it goes
I feel a chill from my head down to my toes
Each time you call my name
And tell me I'm to blame

Well the first time I recall don't you push beyond the pale
Then you're going to find there's no more water in the well
And you may think you're going to walk right all over me
But there's a sting in the tail of this honey bee
I said the first time I'll ignore it but don't you push beyond the pale
And then you're going to find there's no more water in the well
You may think you're going to walk right all over me
There's a sting in the tail of this honey bee

Yes there's a sting in the tail
Well the cold wind's going to blow
Let it rain, let it snow
And don't give me your grief
I can't take it anymore...

 

Bee In Your Bonnet

I keep on churning away
But they don't mind
You don't know nothing 'bout me
But that's alright

Tell you too
And I'll be there
And that's for sure
Got to let me go everywhere
Let me through that door
Let me through that door

You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

I doubt if you be liable
To read it in the bible
I ain't going to say any more
???
But don't kid yourself
You gotta know they're all insane
They going to??? ride in on the rail
I don't need no high fly stuff
And go away youre driving me crazy
You got a new shining beau
It don't pay to love
It don't pay to love

You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

I doubt if you be liable
To read it in the bible
I ain't going to say any more

But there you go blaming yourself
And there you go hiding
So deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
Yeah you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're heading for now
It's OK..... you're going to live to see another day

Lie, cheat, and beg, borrow, steal
Gotta find a way to be real
Show me something I ain't seen before
Gonna make it through that door
May be in love and love it's true
But it's a romance that you can't prove
Give me something and take it away
Gonna get it right some day
You gonna get it right some day

You say you got a bee in your bonnet
You know for every sting there's a cure
But don't you put your finger right on it
You'll only make it hurt all the more

I doubt if you be liable
To read it in the bible
I ain't going to say any more

But there you go blaming yourself
And there you go hiding
So deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
Yeah you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're heading for now
It's OK..... you're going to live to see another day

But there you go blaming yourself
So there you go hiding
So deep in your shell
You better not cry when your baby comes home
Yeah you know she's going to find out somehow
You're having a breakdown right here and now
I guess you don't know where you're heading for now
That's OK..... you're going to live to fight another day

Goldrush

Bless my heart and soul
I've discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
Lets get into town

I am living down by the creek
In the myre and the mud
No liquor for a week
I feel the cold in my blood
There's a very busy lady
On her knees in the sludge
Well I do believe she's crazy
You know she's working like a drudge

Bless my heart and soul
She's discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let's get into town

Even though she smelt like a drain
She's an angel to me
Her intentions are plain
And the whiskey is free
Drinking out another bottle
Keep it cool in the dirt
It's a waterbaby heaven
I got the papers in my shirt

Bless my heart and soul
We've discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let's get into town

Bless my heart and soul
We've discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let's get into town

You work hard all your life little honey
But you can't afford to save any money
You lay it down you leave the town
To see what you can find
For more than 20 years you're a diggin'
But you can't believe what you are a pickin'
A piece of change just like a mountain range
Well fever gonna lay you down!

Dead Man's Blues

Goin' through my life
Day by day
Wonderin' why
And what road it'll take
Sometimes low
And sometimes high
I gotta find a reason
To live by

Well I've been seaching
Far and wide
Over the water
Beyond the sky
And I've been watching the moon above
Smiling down at me
What you thinkin' of

What's he thinkin'
Way up in the sky
People tell me
Where my future lies

There ain't no promise
No guarantees
Ain't no wisdom
Be laid on me
And it's a low down dirty shame
But I gotta find the answer just the same

I ain't feelin'
Nobody cares
I gotta feelin'

Well I've been playin' the Dead Man's Blues
And now I need a drink
It's going to be on you
The day of judgement ain't far away
But who'll be the judge
It's hard to say...
Yeah that's hard to say

Thanks Walter, Anne and Abel and Juan
