Album Lyrics:


Shove It.
(Taylor)

What do you do? 
I said what do you do? 
You ain't wearing a tie, you ain't got a jacket 
You can't come in because you're in the wrong bracket 
You can shove it 

VIPs and royalty get treated like they're special see 
But the trick is there for all to see 
They're people just like you and me 
You can shove it 
Girls - we love it 
Cars - we love it 
More girls - we love it 
Late night bars - we love it 
Pool - we love it 
School - fantasy 
What do you do? 
You can shove it 

You gotta talk, act and dress right 
If you ain't got money, they treat ya funny 
When they say the class system's dead 
If you think that's true better get a new head 
You can shove it 
You can shove it 
You can shove it 
Girls - we love it 
Cars - we love it 
More girls - we love it 
Late night bars - we love it 
Pool - we love it 
School - shove it 
What do you do? 
Shove it 
You can shove it 

So why do people scrape and fuss 
When everyman's the same as us 
It's a joke on all humanity 
It's privilege 
And we don't need it 
War - shove it 
Hate - shove it 
Politicians - don't cut it 
Blind dates - shove it 
Girls school - we love it 
Crazy rules - shove it 
What do you do? 
You can shove it 
You can shove it 

Shove it 
Shove it.


Cowboys And Indians.
(Taylor)

It's a long fast dance 

Well the long fast dance of progress 
And the long slow waltz of decay 
Made such a natural born couple 
They settled down right here in the USA 
Dream home for two in the USA 

Hot jazz, cool blues, we got country 
We get rock and roll all day 
Like to dance, come on down get funky 
That's the way, that's the way 
That's the way, hey hey, in the USA 

There's still cowboys and indians (indians) at home on the range 
But the cowboys and indians have changed - they've changed 
Cowboys and indians have changed 

We've got James Dean on the silver screen 
We've got James Brown he won't let you down 
Now Elvis was the king of rock and roll 
We got preacher men who want to save your soul 
Got the motorcity with the Motown beat 
Get hip to the beat on the hip hop street 
Stars and bars and the biggest cars 
And a rocket ship take you up to Mars 
There's the east coast trip where it's real uptight 
Where you work all day and you play all night 
And the west coast side with the laid back scene 
When you just lay back and it seems like a dream 
There's a lot of places in between 
There's Hollywood and the city by the bay 
And the whole damn south down Louisiana way 
That's the way, that's the way, hey hey, in the USA 

There's still cowboys and indians (indians) at home on the range 
But the cowboys and indians have changed - they've changed 
In the land of the free and the home of the brave 
The cowboys and cowgirls and indians have changed 

Baby baby baby 
That's the way that's the way that's the way in the USA... 
Cowboys and indians... 
In the USA...


Contact.
(Taylor)

Feeling strange, turn around do it again 
Feeling alright, feel like contact tonight 
Well you know what it says and you know what you feel 
And you know what it's like and you know it's for real 
Take it to the limit, take it to the height 
Take it to the limit, contact tonight 

Don't speak, don't break the spell 
Let's dance, you dance so well 
I contact you, you contact me 
Across the room our glances meet 
I contact you 
Eye contact, eye contact 

Feeling fine, feel like dynamite 
Eyes speak more than words can say 
Sparks fly eye contact is made 
Well you know what it says and you know what you feel 
And you know what it's like and you know it's for real 
So take it to the limit, take it to the height 
Take it to the limit, contact tonight 

Breathe deep let your feelings show 
Let's dance but not too slow 
I contact you, you contact me 
Across the room our glances meet 
I contact you 
Eye contact, eye contact 

Take it to the limit, take it to the limit 
Eye contact, eye contact.


Heaven For Everyone.
(Taylor)

While you are imagining, imagine for instance 
The sights that you can take advantage of 
Look at the beautiful cloud formations below you and above you 
(This could be heaven) 
Think of the colour of the sun as it shines off the clouds 
(In these days) Or see the stars 
(In these days) 

In these days of cool reflection (reflection) 
You come to me and everything seems alright 
In these days of cold affections 
You sit by me and everything's fine 
This could be heaven for everyone 
This world could be fed, this world could be fun 
This could be heaven for everyone 
This world could be free, this world could be one 

In this world of cool deception 
Just your smile can smooth my ride 
These troubled days of cruel rejection 
You come to me, soothe my troubled mind 
Yeah this could be heaven for everyone 
This world could be fed, this world could be fun 
This should be love for everyone 
This world should be free, this world could be one 
We should bring love to our daughters and sons 
Love, love, love, love 
This could be heaven for everyone 

So take a seat and sit by my side a while 
You know I like your style 
(This could be heaven for everyone) 
So what can we do to clean up this mess 
Just feel so helpless 
(This could be heaven for everyone) 
So lift up your voice, at least you'll have cared 
(This could be heaven for everyone) 

Listen.What people do to other souls 
They take their lives, destroy their goals 
Their basic pride and dignity 
Is stripped and torn and shown no pity 
When this should be heaven for everyone 

This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone 
This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone 
And that is the end of this section.


Stand Up For Love.
(Taylor)

Clap your hands and let's groove 
Clap your hands, clap your hands 

There comes a time in every life 
There comes a day in every mind 
Now don't look back, don't look behind 
Stand up straight in your own time 
Stand up for love, every good man 
Stand up for love, and every foolish man 
Stand up for love, and all the rich men 
Stand up for love, and all the proud men 
Stand up for love, stand up for love 
Stand up for love, stand up for love 
Stand up for love, stand up for love 
Stand up for love, stand up for love 
Stand up for love 

(Stand)Everybody (stand up for love) come on and take my hand 
(Stand)Everybody (stand up for love) you know it's time 
It's time to make your stand 

Clap your hands and let's groove 

In case of fear, in case of fire 
In case of some kind of earthquake or forest fire 
I got my man (I got my man) right in my sights (sight) 
He looks to the left, leans to the right 
You know I want you to now 
Stand up for love, every good man 
Stand up for love, and every foolish man 
Stand up for love, and every rich man 
Stand up for love, and every proud man 
Stand up for love, stand up for love 
Stand up for love, stand up for love 
Stand up for love, stand up for love 
Stand up for love, stand up for love 
Stand up for love 
Stand up for love 

Everybody come on and take my hand 
I said everybody you know it's time 
It's time to make your, time to make your stand 
Stand up for love 

Die for love (die for love), this is a cry for love (die for love) 
Let's fly for love (die for love), gotta die for love (cry for love) 

Die for love (die for love), this is a cry for love (I cry for love) 
Let's fly for love (die for love), gotta die for love (cry for love) 

Stand up for love, stand up for love... 
Stand (stand)... 
Stand up for love, stand up for love...


Love On A Tightrope (Like An Animal).
(Taylor)

Listen - trapped again 
Love on a lead is what you need 
Love on a leash is what you wish 
Love on a tightrope is what you get 
Love on a steep slope you ain't seen nothing yet 
When you smile that wide wild smile 
That tiger smile, I'm trapped again 

Be my dog be my pet 
Like a nervous tic you just won't quit 
Like a nervous tic you just won't quit 
You don't need a doctor you need a vet 
And when you laugh your crazy laugh 
That wild cat laugh, I'm trapped again 

Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope 
Our love's on a steep slope 
Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope 
No don't give up hope 
Because when you wish upon a star 
Makes no difference who you are 
Don't give up hope, our love's on a tightrope 

Like a tiger cat you're where it's at 
Like a crocodile along the Nile 
So strange and wild, some kind of reptile 
Love on a lead is what you need 
And when you smile that wide wild smile 
That tiger smile, I'm trapped again, trapped again 

They say never bite the hand that feeds 
Just one look and my heart bleeds 

Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope 
You know our love's on a steep slope 
Love on a tightrope, love on a tightrope 
Don't give up hope 
Because when you wish upon a star 
Makes no difference who you are 
Don't give up hope, our love's on a tightrope 

Animal eyes - like a real good time 
Animal lips - it's a perfect crime 
Animal hair - it just ain't fair 
Like an animal (aooo aooo) 

Like an animal...


Love Lies Bleeding (She's A Wicked Wily Waitress).
(Taylor)

Come on, come on 

She was a waitress she looked real fine 
The little temptress was so divine 
A symphony of cheap perfume and pretty stale red wine 
She can wait upon my table any time 
She was poetry in motion 
Stiletto heels and nylons she moved up to the table 
I could see she had for me a burger with my fries on 
Love lies bleeding, hey listen to this, love lies bleeding 

Well we parked outside a city bank 
We found it all real funny 
The car was running on full tanks and we stole all the money 
She was a wicked wily waitress and she should be doing time 
She was an ordinary waitress now she owns her own goldmine 
How 'bout that, love lies bleeding 
Now listen to this, love lies bleeding 

She was a rebel without a cause 
She was a girl who needed applause 
Love in the future love in the past 
Love in the future love in the past (love lies bleeding) 
Love lies bleeding in our path (love lies bleeding) 
Would you believe that it gets worse (love lies bleeding) 

She had a loud theatrical whisper 
I had a one way ticket to Palookaville 
She had an equally dangerous sister 
I was out of my league they were in for the kill 
She was a wicked wily waitress and I gave her all my trust 
She took the loot gave me the boot 
Now she's rich and I'm flat bust 
Yeah (love lies bleeding) 
Now that was the limit (love lies bleeding) 

Because 
She was a rebel without a cause (love love) 
She was a girl who needed applause (love love) 
Love in the future love in the past 
Love in the future love in the past 
Love lies bleeding in our path (love love love lies bleeding) 

I dreamed this world was quite alright (love lies bleeding) 
And everyone meant well (love lies bleeding) 
When I awoke to my surprise (love lies bleeding) 
I found myself in hell (love lies bleeding) 

Love lies bleeding...


Rough Justice.
(Taylor)

Your criminal eyes that see straight through 
We criminalise - your kind of voodoo 
Make me sell my soul for the easy life 
Sell my mother, trade in my wife 

Rough justice - alright 
Rough justice - on the streets tonight 
Rough justice - we're the chosen few 
If you want to scream, if you want to fight 
Better take it to the man with the big house - in white 
It's rough justice 

Your bleeding heart got a hold on me 
Your criminal heart won't let me be 
For finer feelings I didn't feel the need 
When I'm dealing you'd better watch my speed 
Get rough 

Rough justice - alright 
Rough justice - on the streets tonight 
Rough justice - we're the chosen few 
Rough justice, somebody loosened my screws 
Vigilante man of the neighbourhood 
Well I ain't like Doris Day, and I ain't no Robin Hood 
It's rough justice 

Your criminal eyes don't cut no ice 
We criminalise don't take no outside advice 
It's a real cruel life when you have to lose it 
It's a heavy knife when you have to use it 
It's rough justice, it's rough justice 
It's rough justice, it's rough justice.


Manipulator.
(Taylor)

And here comes trouble 

Manipulator 
Can you see the way he twists you round his little finger 
Manipulator 
Dressed to tease, if looks could please I'll see you later 
Cold green eyes you've grown to despise 

Manipulator 
They'll stab your back but don't look back 
Manipulator 
He pushes the bell with his finger 
Don't you stop, don't you linger 
Checkout 
Kiss me boy 
But how many more has he got in store 
Checkout 

Manipulator, ch-ch-checkout 
Ma-ma-manipulator, ch-ch-checkout 

Checkout 
Lower than low, lower than low 
Low low low lower than low 
Checkout 
Trouble 
Ch-checkout 

Manipulator 
And here comes trouble 
Jealousy was not his history 
Come on now how low can you go 
Not much lower but lower than low 
Checkout 

Manipulator, ch-ch-checkout 
Manipulator, lower than low 
Manipulator, ma-ma-manipulator 

Lower than low 
And here comes trouble trouble trouble trouble 
Trouble trouble trouble
