INXS Album

Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how

Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry

I found you wanting
Like everyone
Always trying, happy lying
'Cos I'm no stranger to the ways of the world
I felt like crying
I felt like dying
We took a coffee, you took it so strong
Shaded from the neon
I could still see your eyes

Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby

Found in the gutter
With a knife in her back
Letter said sorry, please don't worry
She had a lover
With danger in his eyes
I tried to tell her
But she had the wildest heart

Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry

Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how

Look at all that shines
Baby's down on the world and she knows it
If your spirit's running
Why don't me make it rain like we used to
We run
We hide
We wait and we want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life

Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted

Look at all the crimes
Baby's down on the world cause she owns it
Making up her life
Nothing more, nothing less makes it Voodoo
We run
We hide
We wait and we want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life

Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted

We look at all that shines
Baby's down on the world and she knows it
If your spirit's fine
Why don't we make it rain like we used to
We run
We hide
We want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life

Ah, Elegantly wasted
(you could be right, you could be certain, you could be right)
Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted
(you could be right, you could be certain, you could be right)
Ah, Elegantly wasted (feels like, feels like)
Elegantly wasted - you could be right
Elegantly wasted - you could be certain
Elegantly wasted - you could be right
Feels right, feels right

(The Shadow Piano)
(Luc Plamondon / Francois Cousineau)

Elle jouait du piano tous les soirs ?¤ sept heures
Des valses de Chopin, des marches militaires
Des airs qui avaient fait un jour battre son coeur
Son r?¦pertoire datait d'la premi??re guerre

(She was playing piano every night at seven
Waltzes from Chopin, military marches
Musics that once made her heart beat
Her repertoire was from the first war (WWI))

On ne la voyait jamais, except?¦ le matin
Quand elle sortait chercher son journal et du pain
Elle habitait l'appartement au-dessus du mien
Mais elle ne saluait jamais ses voisins

(We never saw her, but in the morning
When she was going out to get he paper and some bread
She lived in the apartment upstairs from mine
But she never said hello to her neighbours)

L'hiver c'?¦tait comme un fantome dans la maison
Mais quand revenait le temps de la belle saison
Elle ouvrait sa fen??tre comme on ouvre son coeur
Pour jouer du piano le soir ?¤ sept heures

(In winter she was like a ghost in the house
But when was coming back the time of the beautiful season
She opened her windows like we open our heart
To play piano at night, at seven)

Mais un beau soir d'?¦t?¦, o?? il faisait si chaud
Elle s'est arr??t?¦e au milieu d'un tango
Elle n'avait pas ?¦t?¦ victime d'une saute d'humeur
Elle ?¦tait morte d'un arr??t du coeur

(But one summer night, when it was so warm
She stopped playing in the middle of a tango
She wasn't victim of a bad mood
She was died of a heart attack)

Et comme elle n'avait pas laiss?¦ de testament
Un jour on a vendu ses affaires aux ench??res
Je ne sais pas pourquoi moi qui n'en jouait gu??re
J'ai achet?¦ pour moi le vieil instrument

(And since she left no will
One day they sold her belongings by aunction
I don't know why me who didn't play much
I bought for myself the old instrument)

J'en joue d?¦j?¤ pas mal, je sais d?¦j?¤ par coeur
Au moins vingt-cinq chansons de Lennon-McCartney
Et quand je serai vieille seule et abandonn?¦e
Je me les jouerai tous les soirs ?¤ sept heures

(I play of it not badly already, I already know by heart
At least twenty-five songs from Lennon-McCartney
And when I'll be old, alone and abandonned
I'll play them for myself every night at seven)

Je me les jouerai tous les soirs ?¤ sept heures

(I'll play them for myself every night at seven)

(Backing Vocals by Tania Hancheroff & Joani Bye)

You shot your mouth off like a kid
Who's scared to have a heart
You're losing grip of what really matters
'Cause you don't know where to start
You wake up in the morning
With a starfuck for a friend
The things you do are so in tune
With what you said you hate
What's giving you the will to live
Is it looking for revenge
The only laugh that you've got left
Is from hiding from the pain
What must have happened to your soul
Is skinnin' you alive
The thing that you fear the most is love
and that's buried deep inside
So deep inside
Don't lose your head
'Cause I can't do the time
Don't lose your head
Or can you pay the price

The heart you're building out of rock
Is turning into sand
'Cause you never took the time to think
What it means to be a man
You act like you got the answer
When the question's never asked
I've been to where you're coming from
But the postcards weren't so bad
The knife I carry's been sharpened
On the mouths that won't keep shut
I'll stab at you in the darkness
'Cause I'm trying to shed some light
Your point of view's so meaningless
If you ever had one at all
All you seem to care about
Is who's is gonna take the fall
Who's gonna take the fall for you

Don't lose your head
Now I can't do the time for you
Don't lose your head
Can you pay the price

Don't lose your head
'Cause I can't do the time
Don't lose your head
But can you pay the price

Don't lose your head
If you can't do the time
Don't lose your head
Can you pay the price

Don't lose your head
You can't pay the price
Don't lose your head

I am searching
I am not alone
I am searching
Please, give me some

Have we lost direction
Washed our hands of blood
I'm in need of sensation
Is there more to this love

Saw a mother screaming
She had lost control
Of what she once believed in
And she was not alone

If you could face the pain
And I could do the same
It would be clear tomorrow
But will it start, but will it start again

I am searching
I am not alone
I am searching
Please, give me some

Saw a mother screaming
She had lost control
Of what she once believed in
And she was not alone

Have we lost direction
Washed our hands of blood
I'm in need of sensation
Is there more to this love

If you could face the pain
And I could do the same
It would be clear tomorrow
But will it start, but will it start again

I am searching
I am not alone
I am searching
Please, show me some

I am searching
I am not alone
I am searching
Please, show me some

Love

I'm just a man
My will is so strong
When I've got plans
I close my eyes to the pain

My mother ran
My father left town
But we still have what's necessary to go on

Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood

I'm part of you
Your part of me
There's nothing said
That cannot be undone

My brother's sane
His heart is so strong
He's killed some pain
To himself nearly did the same

It washed away
Into the cruel sea
Like everything that's built upon the sand

Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood

Sweet sister T
She loved so long and hard
Kept to herself
Until that right man came along

Some men they lie
Some men they cheat
But now she's found
Someone to be as strong

I'm just a man
My will is so strong
When I've got plans
I close my eyes to the pain

My father ran (flesh and blood)
My mother left town
But we still have (flesh and blood)
What's necessary to go on

I'm part of you
Your part of me

[No lyrics]

I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand

Let's go

I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile

The cage is found
Fool's gold inside
Is there a key to the
Bars of the mind

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Would you take my hand

You look for love
You just get skin
You turn around
And the changes begin

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Would you take my hand

Takes a second for your world to change
Satisfaction's what you give away
Sucks you in and spits you out again
Picks you up and drives you down again

Takes a second for your world to change
Sucks you in and spits you out again
Throws you down and picks you up again
Satisfaction's what you give away

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand

I'd love to take this lying down
But the world we know has lost it's crown
All night talking jazz cigarettes
Is never gonna change this killer town

I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on

Round the corner comes salvations
Made to order is what you found
Why oh why do we fool ourselves
Is it just the need to carry on

I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on

Shake the tree you find
Shake don't cut it down

Glamour takes it's toll on you
You throw away what's out of view
Pearls of wisdom hang round your neck
They warm to the touch of your perfect skin

High, high, high
High, high, high

I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on

Shake the tree you find
Shake don't cut it down

Shake the tree you find
(I see her walking in perfect time)
Shake don't cut it down
(She gives me reason)
To carry on

I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To never say die

I see her walking
In perfect time (shake)
She gives me reason (the tree you find)
To never say die

Shake the tree you find

Those pretty feet are stuck deep in the ground
All all that junk keeps coming
Must be the time to rearrange it all
Another place another time has called

She is rising above this world
She is heading for an open door
She is rising above this world
She is heading for an open door

Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin
Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin

One day he wakes up to a different drum
Rhythm coming from so far away
He had no time to tell anyone
His hips were moving to a perfect sway

He is rising above this world
He is heading for an open door
He is rising above this world
He is heading for an open door

Give it up, let him in
All he wants is to begin
Give it up, let him in
All he wants is to begin

Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin

She is rising above this world
She is heading for an open door

Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin
Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin

Give it up (she is rising)
Let him in (he is rising)
All he wants is to begin (aIl I want is to begin)

Give it up (she is rising)
Let him in (he is rising)
All he wants is to begin (all he wants is to begin)

She is rising
He is rising
All I want
All I want is to begin
She is rising
He is rising

Give it up
We are rising

She is rising
She is rising

[No lyrics]

Making up my life
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for that light

Shine, shine
Ah shine so bright, shine

When does that thing
I want to breathe her in
Throw away my world
If I could see that pearl

Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine

The skin is deep
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak

The skin is deep
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak

Gimme gimme reason for the things I do
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you

Gimme gimme reason for the things I do
Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you

Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine

When it does that thing
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for the light

Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, so bright

Gimme gimme reasons for the things I do
The silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you
[fade out]

The sky is blue I'm watching you
The grass is green what does it mean
Clouds are white don't loose that fight
Generations oversight is fucking up my poetry

Let it ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride

Caught in between
The sun and the moon and the stars
Caught in between
The sun and the moon and the stars
Caught in between
The sun and the moon and the stars
Caught in between
The sun and the moon and the stars

The sky is blue I'm watching you
The grass is green what does it mean
Clouds are white don't loose that fight
Generations oversight is fucking up my overdrive

Let it ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride

Let it ride, ride, ride
