You got me runnin' goin' out of my mind,
You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time.
Don't bring me down, no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

And I'm tired, of this stupid game.
I'm running in circles from you again.
Don't play me, for what I gotta do.
I won't hate myself to be loved by you.

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhee you feel free
Run away, find you a lover
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you

I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends
And the dreams we had
We lived happily forever
So the story goes
But somehow we missed out
On the pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above our heads
They sang to us this song of hope and this is what they said
Come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away with me

Mama went to sleep one night and never work up
Daddy cried a tear into her old coffee cup
Now all he wants to do is drink the hurt all away
But if mama was here I know what mama would say
Carry on
Carry on
What don't kill us makes us strong
Carry on

Dont let the sun go down on me.
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see.
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free.
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me.

You got me runnin' goin' out of my mind,
You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time.
Don't bring me down, no no no no no,
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't want you back
Cuz you're no good for me, I know
That's all I can say
Don't want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I don't want you back

I Don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it

I can hear her heartbeat
From a thousand miles
And the heavens open
Every time she smiles
And when I come to her
That's where I belong
Yet I'm running to her
Like a river song

She give me love, love,
Love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love,
Love, love, crazy love

Heartbeat - why do you miss when my baby kisses me
Heartbeat- why does a love kiss stay in my memory

Piddle dee pat - I know that new love thrills me
I know that true love will be

Heartbeat - why do you miss when my baby kisses me

Heartbeat - why do you skip when my baby's lips meet mine
Heartbeat - why do you flip then give me a skip beat sign

Piddle dee pat - and sing to me love stories
And bring to me love's glories

Heartbeat - why do you miss when my baby kisses me

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Come on come on come on come on
Now touch me baby
Can't you see
That I am not afraid
What was the promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?

Come on baby I'm tired of talking
Grab your coat and let's start walking
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Don't procrastinate, don't articulate
Girl it's getting late, gettin' upset waitin' around

Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Honey, welcome back home.
I know she told you,
Honey I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I did,
But all I know is that she left you,
And you swear that you just don't know why,
But you know, honely I'll always,
I'll always be around if you ever want me

To be hurt, to feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

"Sitting in your car, it's the edge of the night
You turn to me baby, and I say that it's alright
You stare at the moon, then the music starts
The radio plays a song, for broken hearts
Your eyes turn a deep shade of blue
You can try but you can't hide the truth
I'm on the outside looking right into you
It's a perfect view..."

**This lyric is from one of my favourite songs by Charlotte Caffey, entitled Perfect View from the album of the same name. Charlotte, also from The Go-Go's wrote and recorded Perfect View with Meredith Brooks and Gia Ciambotti and the trio called themselves The Graces. Charlotte and Meredith played guitar, Charlotte's brother Tom Caffey played keyboards, and Gia was the drummer. Belinda Carlisle (also a Go-Go member) even co-wrote a song entitled Out In The Fields although Belinda doesn't perform any vocals on this album.**

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, 'there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said, 'I'm home on shore leave',
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, 'you must be the mermaid
Who took neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale


If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip striaght through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Twisted - Bette Midler


"How ya doin' girls? Long time, no see. Listen, I've been to the doctor lately. Honey, I just spent forty dollars to hear that from that guy?

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it he said
"You'd be better off dead
Than alive
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought I was crazy
But you know I'm not
Oh, no

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I need treatment
But I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type that was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts
No more if's or and's or but's
Oh, no

They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happenin'
I knew I was a genius
What's so strange when you know that
You're a wizard at three
I said, "Baby, this is meant for me, me, me, me"

I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night
My parent's got frantic, didn't know what to do
But I had seen some crazy things
Before I came to
Now, do you think I was crazy
I may have been only three but I was swingin'

They all laughed at A. Graham Bell
They all laughed at Edison
And also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry if they just
Didn't understand the reasoning and the logic
That went on in my head
I had a brain, it was insane
So I just let them laugh at me
When I refused to ride on all those double-decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top

Aaaaaaah!

"Did you ever hear a story like that in your life? Honey, that chick is bananas. Do you hear? Bananas. Oh, waiter, bring me another banana daquiri, would ya?"
Ba, ba, ba, ba!
"Oh, here she comes again."

Badada, badada, badada
Wo!

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
But I said, "Doctor,
I think that it's you instead
Cause I got a thing that's so unique and new
It proves that I got the last laugh on you
Cause instead of one head, ooh, I got two
And you know two heads are better than one

"Honey, she is twisted!"

Cheers, Mikey
