Remember Me 03:16
Hey! don’t you walk on by… I won’t let your indiscretion take control (ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba) Stay gazing through the looking glass It’ll hypnotise you: turn you right around (ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba do wa!) Take my hand and hit the floor show me desire and beg for more The passion that you want to hold for me… Remember….Remember Me This sunshine will show you the way But one gentle touch will burn you up inside (ba ba ba ba ba ba do wa!) Take my hand and hit the floor show me desire and beg for more The passion that you want to hold for me… Take my hand and hit the floor show me desire and beg for more The passion that you want to hold for me… Take my hand and hit the floor show me desire and beg for more The passion that you want to hold for me…

It doesn’t matter what I do I can’t feel you No matter what you feel, I won’t be grieved too No! No! No moon will wax, No! No! No stars will fall tonight… She’s got Saturn In Her Eyes Saturn In Her Eyes She’s got Saturn In Her Eyes Saturn In Her Eyes It blows my heart apart, it’s no secret: Clowns clouding my mind: it’s not beneath me… No! No! No moon will wax, No! No! No stars will fall tonight… CHORUS: She’s got Saturn In Her Eyes Saturn In Her Eyes She’s got Saturn In Her Eyes Saturn In Her Eyes She’s got Saturn In Her Eyes Saturn In Her Eyes She’s got Saturn In Her Eyes Saturn In Her Eyes

Many times I’ve sat on my head And many tears I’ve felt me cry. It’s not important to jump on over, It’s not at all insurrection lies How could I even try to defend you when there’s no love for me to defend? You’ve blistered all my dreams now I can’t even be your friend Your Switchblade Love is making me bleed Ripping wounds inside my heart Its killing me Drive your nails into my flesh And insult my name and then Contemplate your own lies On a scale from one to ten Your Switchblade Love is making me bleed Ripping wounds inside my heart It's killing me Your Switchblade Love is making me bleed Ripping wounds inside my heart It's killing me Yeah, it's killing me Oh, it's killing me Well it's killing me Ooooh

Burnin’ through the colour of my heart Driftin’ on a soft-bottomed cotton love Rise high through the fire What do you think you are doing to me when you leave me on the floor? You Strip Me Bare! You Strip Me Bare! You say that love’s a fool’s reaction You Strip Me Bare It’s bittersweet as I drift in the wind Wheel-barrowing around and round ten times Everywhere people stare They’re eatin’ my hand-rinsed dreams like they are custard creams as I fall to the floor You Strip Me Bare! You Strip Me Bare! You say that love’s a fool’s reaction You Strip Me Bare! I can see your eyes are telling me not to worry I wouldn’t worry as long as you stay here in my arms You Strip Me Bare! You Strip Me Bare! You say that love’s a fool’s reaction to a girl’s self-satisfaction You Strip Me Bare!

It’s a day in the life of living free But money is the root of all evil It’s gonna load up your mind, see the Holy Trinity So don’t take your time thinking it over… It’s another day in the life of enemies And money is still the source of envy I’m living this life when it seems so empty So baby hold back all of your tears, can’t you see I’m trying? I got my hand on the seam, it’s as good as a woman It’s giving me chills, can’t get to my feet It’s been a long time a-comin’, this plan of mine This life keeps rolling, I am wasting time Today is the day I am gonna start livin’ (ooooh!) Blue sky hangin’ above and the sun is beating (ooooh!) I’m gonna take all that good stuff ‘cause you know I need it (oooh!) Well I’m leaving: I’m gonna shake off all of these blues… You can’t carry on living with your hands held high Drop your gun baby and reach for the sky It’s been a long time woman, you’ve been serving time I got you some rum, gonna make you mine! I can’t stop ‘til I’m Satisfied I can’t stop ‘til I’m Satisfied I can’t stop ‘til I’m Satisfied I can’t stop ‘til I’m Satisfied…. Oh No! I’m on fire! (I’m on fire!) I’m on fire! (I’m on fire!) I’m on fire (I’m on fire!) I’m on fire!

Winona Ryder 05:24
I don’t wan to hear any of your pieces of news Don’t wanna hear any “I Love Yous” All I wanna do is be with you just say “I approve! I have missed the bus from this two-horse town But I will make the next train out of “Hitsville” Just give me a ride and I will take more of your time than I really need to Why do I always run from you? Winona Ryder came to town with her Jesus sandals and frowns Winona Ryder came to stay I thought she’d never go but then Winona always had some good advices to give away like Why pour water on a drowning man? Why pour water on a drowning man? Why pour water on a drowning man? Send me a letter, an apology Can’t you see this means nothing to me? I've got no time for tea or sympathy I just want your body next to me I’ve been on this sleeper now for far too long I’m getting weary and restless I wanna close my eyes and sleep; see all the signs that pass me by An old petrol station And too many lights… Winona Ryder came to town with her Jesus sandals and frowns Winona Ryder came to stay I thought she’d never go but then Winona always had some good advices to give away like Why pour water on a drowning man? Why pour water on a drowning man? Why pour water on a drowning man when you know that he can’t swim?

Poor Boy 05:01
Poor Boy fell in love, saw a lady drop her glove Poor Boy gave it back, her lips were red and her eyes were black Poor Boy, all alone, took her hand and he walked her home Walked her home the longest way, made a date by the very next day Poor Boy yook her out! He took her out then he walked about Walked about and he’s on his knee he said to her will you marry me? Poor Boy didn’t know one thing on her finger was a golden ring Poor Boy couldn’t sleep He couldn’t drink & he couldn’t eat He couldn’t drink one little drop waiting for the pain to stop Poor Boy, what a shame he never fell in love again That’s the way it has to be I should know, the Poor Boy is me! Poor Boy didn’t know one thing on her finger was a golden ring Poor Boy couldn’t sleep He couldn’t drink & he couldn’t eat He couldn’t drink one little drop waiting for the pain to stop Poor Boy what a shame he never fell in love again That’s the way it has to be I should know, the Poor Boy was me!
