LYRICS (for album "Pretty Holiday")
Burning Down The House
Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the party's over
Hold tight we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket pack your bag time for jumping overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fighting fire with fire
All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work said baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame
My house it’s out of the ordinary
That's right don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect starring into the tv set
Fighting fire with fire
Pretty Holiday
Sugar bomb sugar bomb better run for cover
Lie awake lie awake she’s hot rod lover
She’s my heartache Pretty Holiday
C’mon
Turn it up turn it up I’m a hot and sweaty
She’s a knock out punch yeah ya better be ready
Wham bam bang bang chitty chitty
She’s gonna drink your milk
Here kitty kitty
She’s my heartache Pretty Holiday
She’s my heartache pretty hard to forget!
Rev it up rev it up keep the engine humming
Like-a like-a like-a
Like a jet airplane I can hear her cumming
I’m burning up at a hundred degrees
And now my life’s on fire and I’m feeling the squeeze
Turn around turn around before it takes me under
She’s my heartache Pretty Holiday
She’s my heartache pretty hard to forget!
She’s my heartache Pretty Holiday
Pretty Holiday pretty hard to forget
She’s my heartache
Pretty Holiday
Pretty Holiday
She she’s my heartache
Pretty hard pretty hard Pretty Holiday
Pretty Holiday
C’mon!
Let It Go
Listen little sister
Bring it to a whisper
When you gonna settle down?
What’s up with your girlfriend
Dressing like your boyfriend
When’s she gonna come around?
Baby gotta let it go
You gotta let it go
If you’re gonna make it
You gotta let it slide
Gotta let it slide
If you wanna break it
Pretty little soldier
Trying to get over
Birthday number seventeen
Looking for an ending
To the Barbie/Ken thing
Messing with your time machine
Baby gotta let it go
You gotta let it go
If you’re gonna make it
You gotta let it slide
Gotta let it slide
If you wanna break it
Baby gotta let it go
You gotta let it go
Unless you think that you can fake it
And the moment you realize
That it won’t be the same life
And you’re sleeping with your eyes open
Cuz you won’t see that again
What’s up little sister?
Caught up in your twister
When you gonna come unwound
Worried you will seem too
Insensitive and see through
Is only gonna weigh you down
Only Love
You told me all about your day
With that sparkle in your eyes
And like a beautiful bouquet
You know I never realized
That you give me everything
When you sing to me at night
And everything is wonderful
Under breakfast candle light
You remain my only love
And you can say anything
Just don’t say goodbye
You remain my, my only love
And you can have anything
Just don’t take my smile
We went on a holiday
Drove a rental to the sea
And liked we’d sailed around the world
We were living out a dream
And we sang along the way
In imperfect harmony
You remain my only love
And you can say anything
Just don’t say goodbye
You remain my, my only love
And you can have anything
Just don’t take my smile
She told me all about her day
With that sparkle in her eye
And with a sip of cabernet
You know I never realized
That’s right
You remain my only love
And you can have anything
Just don’t take my smile
You remain my, my only love
And you can say anything
Just don’t say goodbye
Finally
I don’t live in London, Paris, New York or LA
I don’t get premonitions that will help to lead the way
I’ve got a heart that won’t give in
And still they say I’m made of tin
They tell me I won’t make it
And they kick me when I’m down
Well that’s just what I need to hear
To turn my life around
I put up some kind of a fight
And when they turn me in I’ll tell them
That I’ve come to far to stop now
Finally
Everything seems to be alright and working itself out
Might be all I need
To keep me from exploding into little pieces
When I’m on the money and the money’s not on me
I sneak in through the back door and into happyland for free
It keeps me smiling for today
Maybe tomorrow I will stay
Ya da da da da da da
I got a lot to figure out
But there’s no doubt what I was made for
Call the army I’ve gone AWOL
Finally
Everything seems to be alright and working itself out
Might be all I need
To keep me from exploding into little pieces
Little pieces
Get me to the airport and put me on a plane
I’ve got an explanation but I’ve no time to explain
My battery is running low
And when all is said I must be on my way
I really must go
Take Everything
Paying off your broken dreams
Stripped of all your self esteem
Trying so hard to believe
It’s gonna take everything
Everything to make it right
Killers play their killers songs
Talking heads babbling on
Falling stars to wish upon
It’s gonna take everything
Everything to make it right
It’s gonna take everything
Everything to make it right
Don’t turn out the lights just yet
Don’t turn out the lights just yet
Ya it’s almost out there
I can feel it coming
Turn it up loud
Ya you wanna sell you
You gotta push it through
Storm the crowd
Giving it everything
Giving it everything
Running out of life to live
How much more love can you give
Still feeling like a kid
It’s gonna take everything
Everything to make it right
It’s gonna take everything
Everything to make it right
Don’t turn out the lights just yet
Don’t turn out the lights just yet
Don’t turn out the lights just yet
Don’t turn out the lights
Don’t turn out the lights just yet
Don’t turn out the lights just yet
Starhead
This is the beginning of hell
Hope you’re doing fine
Hope you’re doing well
If you wanna make a big deal
Better take another spin of the wheel
Starhead
Step in the light
Don’t turn out the night
Starhead
Don’t bring your life
They’re wielding the knives
Ya ya ya
Would you like to change your real name?
[change your real name]
See your mirror image in cellophane
They’ll give you everything that you need
[everything you need]
Press release when you get busted for weed
Starhead
Step in the light
Don’t turn out the night
Starhead
Don’t bring your life
They’re wielding the knives
Ya ya ya
Starhead
Don’t bring your life
They’re wielding the knives
Ya ya ya Ya ya ya
Take another bite of your dream
[bite of your dream]
Spit it out before you choke on the scene
They’re gonna rip you out of your shell
[rip you out of your shell]
Then they’ll watch you drown in your wishing well
Starhead
Step in the light
Don’t turn out the night
Starhead
Don’t bring your life
They’re wielding the knives
Wild Over You
Can’t you see me Alice I’m in Wonderland
Dreamin’ up things only I’d understand
Ooo ya it’s true
I go Wild Over You
Never Never Land
I’ve never been so high
You caught me in a stare
I thought that I would die
I go Wild Over You
Ya I go Wild Over You
Maybe when the stars align
And everything turns to chocolate
You will see what I see
And all this time
You’ll realize you might
Have just won the prize
Damned if I’m the one who’ll ever see it through
Can’t believe the things I get myself into
I go Wild Over You
I go Wild Over You
I go Wild…
Over you
Over you
She’s Gone
Why’ve I messed up everything I figured out?
Must’ve lost my head and opened my big mouth
24 hours I won’t soon forget
Now she’s gone
I can’t help thinkin’ how I ran the ship aground
I could’ve been the wind of change and turned it around
I kick myself for lying to the one I love
Now she’s gone
One more time ya we’ve heard it before
But it’s the only way I know
Now I’m sayin’
Who am I to write another love song?
And why am I always gettin’ this thing wrong
And how am I supposed to feel like going on
Now that’s she’s gone
One might say it doesn’t just fall in place
After all that might have just been the case
You can’t keep holdin’ on when it’s going down
Going down
One more time ya we’ve heard it before
But it’s the only way I know
Now I’m sayin’
Who am I to write another love song?
And why am I always gettin’ this thing wrong
And how am I supposed to feel like going on
Now that’s she’s gone
One more time ya we’ve heard it before
But it’s the only way I know
Now I’m sayin’
Who am I to write another love song?
And why am I always gettin’ this thing wrong
And how am I supposed to feel like going on
Now that’s she’s gone
Things To Think About
There’s a break up going down today today
And I can hear the hearts breaking
And I don’t know if it’s laughing or crying
Or trying all over again
There’s a light on and someone thinking
About a life that’s gone by
Maybe I’ll be asking myself the same thing
The same way when I say goodbye
Ooo... There’s a lot of things to think about now
Ooo... There’s a lot of things to think about
There’s a man dancing out on the edge
And singing for those below
He’s lived and now he’s living out his adventure
Before he’s gonna let it all go
Padlocks are keeping all of our secrets
Even those we can tell
There will always be a lot of unanswered questions
Spinning ‘round in our carousel
Ooo... There’s a lot of things to think about now
Ooo... There’s a lot of things to think about
And when your sun stops shining
Think of your favourite things
Cause sometimes that’s all that we have
A lot of things to think about
There’s a lot of things to think about
La la la la’s what everyone’s singing
It’s gonna get us all through
Now come along Mr. can’t find my way
It’s the song that’s long overdue
Ooo... There’s a lot of things to think about now
Ooo... There’s a lot of things to think about
Ooo... There’s a lot of things to think about now
Ooo... There’s a lot of things to think about
