Fixer Man
03:43

|
It was me who did what you wanted, So you can stop your guessing about that
Let your mind wander on to more important things
So if you're traveling on, keep moving, and if you're stationary, keep still
I'm the one who does everything you ask
So don't ask unless you mean it
Don't ask unless you're sure
You can call me the fixer man
I'll be the man who'll fix you good
Fixer man
It don't matter what it is or what it was or was to be
If you send it my way, rest assured it's done
I always will deliver, No, I'll never let you down
Call on me when you need a little peace
So don't ask unless you mean it
Don't ask unless you're sure
You can call me the fixer man
I'll be the man who'll fix you good
Fixer man
Whadjah think? I wouldn't have the will or find the way
Not my style to linger in the clouds
If you need it, want it, get me on it, You know I'm your man
You fixed my soul, now I owe a debt to you
So don't ask unless you mean it
Don't ask unless you're sure
You can call me the fixer man
I'll be the man who'll fix you good
Fixer man

The Hypnosis
02:03
|
|||
|
She fell in my lap
And kissed my cheek
All my defenses
Were suddenly weak
Oh oh oh oh oh She's got
The hypnosis
Arm around my neck
Eyes green as ocean
She moves so smoothly
Seems like slow motion
Oh oh oh oh oh She's got
The hypnosis
I told her only she could make me happy
A burden that she didn't want to bear
(She said) The same effect could come from medication
But then she hypnotized me with her stare
She's got that something
Which makes my heart stall
She wants no power
Yet she wields it all
Oh oh oh oh oh She's got
The hypnosis

I Need Money
03:04
|
|||
|
Money comes and money goes
I can't seem to get ahead
Seems to me I need a lot of dough
Just to make a little bread
||: Ooh, I need money :||
I work hard, but it's hard to work
That's neither here nor there
If I were paid what I was worth
I'd be a billionaire
||: Ooh, I need money :||
If cash is king, then the Joker is me
And I'm trying to satisfy a queen
I want to treat her like royalty
But it's hard when times are lean
||: Ooh, I need money :||
Five, 10, 15, 20
I'll take anything you got because
I need money

It's You
02:52
|

When I, want to know, what love looks like
I look to you
When I, want to know, what love feels like
I turn to you
When I, want to know, Heaven here on earth
I see Angel, next to me and it's you
When I, need someone, to laugh with
I smile with you
When I'm, down and out, so troubled
I turn to you
When I, forget, why I rise each day
Your touch, your kiss, it's you
Hard to believe, I have anything you need
Deep in my mind, I wonder how you, found me
When I, want to know, what love looks like
I look to you
When I, want to know, what love feels like
I turn to you
When I, want to know, Heaven here on earth
I see Angel, next to me and it's you

Meant To Be Together
03:05
|
|||
|
It was in the cards, the Gypsy told me
It was in the stars, up in the sky
It was in the bones, spread on the table
A universal truth, a fact now looking back
You and I were meant to be together
||: Ooh, ooh That's what it's all about :||
It was in the leaves, left in a teacup
It was in the palm, of my own hand
It was in the wax, dripped on the table
It's unbreakable, unmistakable
You and I were meant to be together
||: Ooh, ooh That's what it's all about :||
(Solo)
It was in the ball made out of crystal
It was in the text, of ancient scrolls
It was in the air, the spirits whispered
Moonlight and night, sun and day
Clouds and rain, you and I
No accident, we're meant to be together
||: Ooh, ooh That's what it's all about :||

Thrill Ride
02:42
|
|||
|
Tick, tick, tick pulls you up the hill
Makes you glad you filled out your will
Higher than the birds ever dared to fly
Over the top, then it's bye, bye, bye
Thrill ride, up and down
Thrill ride, knock you all around
Thrill ride, loop de loop
You may wish you had a parachute
Gasp and wheeze and fill your lungs with air
Feel the breeze blowing through your air
Round the corner about to fly off the track
Almost gives you a heart attack
Thrill ride, up and down
Thrill ride, knock you all around
Thrill ride, loop de loop
You may wish you had a parachute
Oh, no, here we go

Something’s Going Down
03:44
|
|||
|
You understand my ruby blood
Grows hot and thick through swampy mud
I feel the air grow stale and wasted
It's so sour and salty I can taste it
Something's going down in the swamp tonight
Something's going down in the swamp tonight
A battle royale to set things right
Something's going down, Something's going down
What does it matter where I'm from
Same beat down on a slightly different drum
You got my back up to a wall
Ain't no good can come of this at all
Something's going down in the swamp tonight
Something's going down in the swamp tonight
A battle royale to set things right
Something's going down, Something's going down
(solo)
I need to tie up some loose ends
Snakes and frogs share trees, though they're not friends
It's time for us to settle down
Give a little land, but still stand our ground
Something's going down in the swamp tonight
Something's going down in the swamp tonight
A battle royale to set things right
Something's going down, Something's going down

Big Brass Band
04:00
|
|||
|
Get it, hit it, go
Off to the right, and it's a short walk from the water
We can dance in the streets all night long
A few close friends are down there having a party
A couple of drinks, a grill, and a bunch of fun
And then we hear a big brass band playing second line
We know this party's gotten out of hand
The moon and the stars came out to watch the show
Helpless to the power of the big brass band
Bunch of people here sweating like they had a fever
Sound from the horn a primeval mating call
All the cares of the world slip off my shoulders
I'm gonna bop to the rhythm until I begin to fall
Big brass band playing second line
We know this party's gotten out of hand
The moon and the stars came out to watch the show
Helpless to the power of the big brass band
(Solo)
Get it, hit it, go
Big brass band playing second line
We know this party's gotten out of hand
The moon and the stars came out to watch the show
Helpless to the power of the big brass band

Optimistic Pessimist
02:58
|
|||
|
I'm as positive as a sunny day
I want the best out of life in the worst way
But the fact of death is clinical
So it makes my views look cynical
Life is great, but we're going to die
That doesn't mean I'll sit around and cry
Without death we'd be incomplete
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet
Now, carpentry is a skill I have learned
Many tools of the trade, I have earned
One question I have, if I may ask it
How much money can I save if I make my own casket
Life is great, but we're going to die
That doesn't mean I'll sit around and cry
Without death we'd be incomplete
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet
I won't let life pass me by
I might not win, but I will try
No regrets, my eyes are dry
Still smile when the end is nigh
Life is great, but we're going to die
That doesn't mean I'll sit around and cry
Without death we'd be incomplete
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet
Life is great, but we're going to die
That doesn't mean I'll sit around and cry
Without death we'd be incomplete
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet
I'm the most optimistic pessimist you'll ever meet

Yesterday’s News

I
I ran for days feet never touched ground
I screamed for you did not make a sound
Mind is confused your signal's turned red
I followed you but that's when you fled
Yesterday... You're yesterday's news
I'm not mad although I feel used
You used me, you used me, now I'm through
With yesterday's news
When
Sun's blinding rays give way to the night
I'll think of you and things we did right
I've overturned that pain in my heart
You took my love, you took it apart
Yesterday... You're yesterday's news
I'm not mad although I feel used
You used me, you used me, now I'm through
With yesterday's news
(solo)

I’m The Luckiest
02:52
|
|||
|
I came home Late last night
You're beautiful You're out of sight
Waiting for me You kept me up past three
||: We've got such a good thing :||
I'm the luckiest
Maybe tired Maybe sick
Just one thing Does the trick
Talking about you I need your love, it's true
||: We've got such a good thing :||
I'm the luckiest
I get scared Now and then
You know why And you know when
To comfort me Through my tears I see
||: We've got such a good thing :||
I'm the luckiest

Won’t You Dance With Me
03:12
|
|||
|
Come on darling, won't you dance with me
Time is moving on fast and free
We may not get another chance, you see
Come on darling, won't you dance with me
Creep up on me, baby
Move those hips around
You make it feel like hide and seek
Waiting to be found
It don't make no difference
If you don't think you can
That primal instinct makes you move
So take me by my hand
Come on darling, won't you dance with me
Time is moving on fast and free
We may not get another chance, you see
Come on darling, won't you dance with me
Circle 'round me, girl
Like a bird of prey
You found what you were hunting
And you know that I'm a stray
Soon, you'll overtake me
And that will be just fine
The way you're moving wears me out
But I'm having a good time
Come on darling, won't you dance with me
Time is moving on fast and free
We may not get another chance, you see
Come on darling, won't you dance with me
