Someone saw you
By the waterside.
Nothing you can do will change her.
This is not the time for secrets
Save your breath.

It's time
For sex
With strangers.
It's time
For sex
With strangers.
It's time
For sex
With strangers —
Maybe sex with someone else.

Completely empty
You have nothing left inside.
Bored, you thought you'd try a little danger —
And now you have betrayed yourself.

It's time
For sex
With strangers.
It's time
For sex
With strangers.
It's time
For sex
With strangers —
Time for sex with someone else.

She wants to run away and hide
Nothing you can do will save her
She thought she knew you.
Knew how much you felt.

But now
It's sex
With strangers.
Now
It's sex
With strangers.
But now
It's sex
With strangers —
Time for sex with someone else.

But now
It's sex
With strangers
Now
It's sex
With strangers.
But now
It's sex
With strangers —
Now it's time for sex with someone else.

I got so much love
So much more
So much more love to give.
I got so much more
So much love
So much more love left to give.

So much pleasure draws me like I never saw.
I have never seen you look like this before.

I got so many lives
So many more
So many more lives to live
I got so much love
So much love
So much more love left to give.

So much pleasure draws me like I never saw.
I have never seen you look like this before.

Are you with me or without me ?
Are you with me here or am I alone ?

I got somewhere
Somewhere to be
Somewhere to be with you.
There is somewhere
Somewhere to be
Somewhere for me and you.

So much pleasure draws me like I never saw.
I have never seen you look like this before.

Are you with me or without me ?
Are you with me now or am I alone ?
Can you see me I can see you —
Please be with me here so I'm not alone.

So much more to know
Didn't want to go
So much more to know
Didn't want to go
So much more to go
Didn't want to go
So much more to know
Didn't want to go

So much more to know
So much more to go
So much more to know

My father promised me roses
My mother promised me storms
My father taught me to use my mind
My mother taught me scorn
He touches me gently with his hand
It feels like being born
It feels like being born
It feels like being born.

My father promised me green trees,
My mother promised me stars.
I hardly see the love I have —
It all goes by so fast —
He kisses me gently with his lips
It's near, what once was far
It's near, what once was far
It's near, what once was far.

My father promised me roses
My mother promised me thorns
My father taught me to use my mind
My mother taught me scorn
He touches me lightly with his hand
It feels like being born
It feels like being born
It feels like being born.

I'm on fire
When I was young
Just for you
And my heart was pure
Such desire
I only wanted love
just for you
I had allure
Still on fire
High heels ideals
Just for you
And not much fear
My desire
It's easy
Still for you
To make love appear.

And then something sent me
For what they had meant to do
Whatever happened to you ?

I'm on fire
Happiness
just for you.
No more pain
Such desire
Happiness
Just for you.

And love did come
But in such disguise —
That I could
Hardly recognise!

I'm on fire
So with trust in fate
Just for you.
And love of life
Such desire
Take my chance
Just for you.
Roll the dice.

And whatever sent me
I'll still be here for you.
Whatever happens, it's true.

And I'm standing still
Try to show the way
Try to change the stage.

I only had to find the key
Surely love would come to me
You'd look into my glittering eyes
And everything will be all right.

And so time passed.
I began to change.
I found that I
Could love again.

I'm on fire
At first it feels
just for you.
A little strange —
Such desire
Happiness
just for you.
No more pain.
Still on fire
Happiness
Still on fire
No more pain.
Still on fire
Happiness
Still on fire
No more pain.
Still on fire.

Da da da da da da da da da
Here I go
Da da da da da da da da da
Goodness knows.

You can see I've come so far so
Kiss me quick
I swear upon the stars
They're mine
I swear upon the love
You'll find.

So nobody knows
Wherever I go, it's you
Wherever I go doesn't it show it's you
So many things I wanted to bring to you
Wherever I go I want you to know it's you

Talking in my sleep I sing my song.
Caught inside the same dreams
As though nothing's wrong.
Time is everything but
it's not my gift
Da da da da da da da da da
It's everything I wish.

I swear upon the road I'm on
I'd give you all I have — I'm strong

So nobody knows
Wherever I go
It's you.
Wherever I go
Doesn't it show
It's you.
So many things
I wanted to bring
To you.
Wherever I go
I want you to know
It's you.

Talking in my sleep I sing my song
Caught inside the same dreams, but not for long.

So nobody knows
Wherever I go
It's you.
Wherever I go
Doesn't it show
It's you.
So many things
I wanted to bring
for you.
Wherever I go
Doesn't it show
It's you.

So nobody knows
Wherever I go
It's you.
Wherever I go
Doesn't it show
It's you.
So many things...

Born in 1938
A good year for the Reich.
She could not participate
She didn't have the right.
For she was fatherless in the Fatherland.

Now it's 1966
Andrew's up to all his tricks.
And when Brian Jones is near
Nico doesn't feel so queer;
She's in the shit, though she's innocent —

Yesterday is gone,
There's just today — No tomorrow.
Yesterday is gone,
There's just today — No more ...

Now it's Andy Warhol's time
Mystic 60's on a dime.
Though she kinda likes Lou Reed —
She doesn't really have the need.
Already in the shit, though she's innocent.

And now she doesn't know
What it is she wants
And where she wants to go
And will Delon be still a cunt.
Yes, she's in the shit, though she is innocent.

Yesterday is gone
There's just today
No tomorrow.
Yesterday is gone
There's just today
No more.

Yesterday is gone
There's just today
No tomorrow.
Yesterday is gone
There's just today
No more.

Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da.
Da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da.

Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da.
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da.

The family tree was chain-sawed Wednesday week.
So now I have to mingle with the meek.
Hey mister! you have finally met your match
Now everybody wants to kiss my snatch —
To go where God knows who has gone before.
I am a muse, not a mistress, not a whore.
Oh — suburban shits who want some class
All queue up to kiss my ass
And I was only trying to please
I never got any royalties oh no — not me
I'm still sliding through life on charm
Sliding through life on charm.

If Marianne was born a man she'd show you all
A way to piss your life against the wall.
Go ahead why don't you leave me to these thugs ?
And creeps who want to fuck a nun on drugs.
Is it such a sin I never, ever tried too hard ?
I had to know how far was going too far —
In proper homes throughout the land Fathers try to understand
Why Eunice who is seventeen — aspires to live her life like me
Oh no — Can't ya see, Daddy ?
She's just captivated by my charm
Sliding through life on charm.

Sliding ...
Sliding ...
Never!

I wonder why the schools don't teach anything useful these days
Like how to fall from grace, and slide with elegance from a pedestal
I never asked to be on in the first place.

Sliding on charm
Sliding on charm
Sliding on charm
Sliding on charm
Sliding on charm
Sliding on charm.

Is it a crisis?
Is it a crime?
Or is it a fantasy?
Does it take time?
Will it cost money?
Will it mean love?
Sure isn't easy
To get in the mood

Aha
Aha
Aha
Aha.

See you at the parties
You're never the same
Do you make money?
What is your name?
Where can I find you?
Out in the night
Who are your friends?
Are they dark or light?

Aha
Aha
Aha
Aha.

Tell me the dreams you never told anyone
Gimme a break.
Are you really a virgin who's never loved anyone else?
Or just a fake?
Me I don't know what to think anymore
Don't know where to start
To sit here with you and talk about nothing
Is breaking my heart.

Ask me a question?
Gimme a smoke
What are you drinking?
Is it a joke
Well ain't it worth it?
Or am I depraved?
You hold your head high
With one foot in the grave.

Aha
Aha.
Aha
Aha


. . .



Treated you like a rusty blade
A throwaway from an open grave
Cut you loose from a chain gang
And let you go

And on the day you said it's true
Some love holds and some gets used
Tried to tell you I never knew
It could be so sweet
Who could ever be so cruel,
Blame the devil for the things you do.
It's such a selfish way to lose
The way you lose these wasted blues,
These wasted blues.

Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.

Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.

When the moon is a counterfeit
Better find the one that fits
Better find the one that lights
The way for you.

When the road is full of nails,
Garbage pails and darkened jails
And their tongues are full of heartless tales
That drain on you
Who would ever notice you
You fade into a shaded room ?
It's such a selfish way to lose
The way you lose these wasted blues
These wasted blues.

Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.

Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.
Tell me that it's nobody's fault
Nobody's fault
But my own.

Oh, don't sell me out, only love.
You don't get it so well.

Please tell someone
Everything is gone
Dream less of me, less to guess on you
I felt so much
Every tick and tussle
Heart torn because it's a kissin time.

So pass on by —
You'll never find out
I love someone else
Find your God
You'll find yourself
But, he falls
I'm confessing to you
Just my guess
It's a kissin time.

He can't pass on you
Oh no, I see far right through you.

Please understand my kissin song
Think for yourself,
It's a lesson, guess it's kissin time.
Heart torn because
Parts of me I'd sell myself
Oh, just in time I'm assessing myself.

Someone told me
Keep on — hold me
Don't let go until I reach the other side.

Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again
Your time will come
Your time will come again

Someone told me — keep on hold me
Don't let go until I reach the other side.

Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come

Time
Time
Time

Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new guy in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah,
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good.

He's the kind of guy who's not too shy
And I can tell he's my kind of guy.
He danced close to me like I hoped he would, whoa yeah,
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good.

We only danced for a minute or two,
He stuck to me the whole night through.
Last night we fell in love,
He's everything I'm dreamin' of.

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good.

We only danced for a minute or two,
He stuck to me the whole night through.
Last night we fell in love,
He's everything I'm dreamin' of ...

He walked me home and I held his hand
I knew it couldn't be just a one-night stand
So I asked to see him again and he said I could.
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good.

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good,
Something good, whoa yeah, something good
Something good, whoa yeah, something good.
