Album Lyrics:
Top Of The World Ma.
(Moss, Taylor, Edney, Noone, Macrae)
I'm on top of the world Ma, on top of the world
You know i got me a girl Ma, she makes my kiss curl curl
She got some kind of witch craft, and it's a workin'on me
What you get Ma, is what you see
She's a voodoo child when she weaves her spell
Gonna send me dancing to the gates of Hell...
Is this the end of the world Ma, is this the end of the world
I think I'm losing control Ma, you know my head's in a whirl
She got her own kinda voodoo, and it's a working on me
When we get gymnastic ooeee
Well she can make me rock, she can make me roll
She makes me Mad Bad And Dangerous To Know...
She's a voodoo child, she's a living doll
She can crack the sky, watch the angels fall
I'm on top of the world Ma, I'm on top of the world
I'm on top of the world Ma, on top of the world
On top of the world.
Liar.
(P. Noone)
When my lady walks in the room
The lights come on to her sweet perfume
I didn't know the devils by her side
There I stood, I had nothing to hide
My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mistery
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar
I wasn't watching for the danger signs
And I never read between the lines
she says "C'mon boy you can do your thang"
So I turn around still wondering
When my love dances she makes me cry
My love dances with me tonight
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar
But I'm still burning with desire
With a look of a panther
I got lost in your jungle
No I cant help myself again
No I cant help myself
Baby you're a liar
My love could teach the blind to see
My love's the wildest mistery
My love said she'd be the one
Now I know
Baby you're a liar
But I'm still burning with desire
You're a liar
Baby you're a liar
You've bin known to veer from the truth
Lies
You're telling me lies.
Closer To You.
(S. Edney)
Wasn't looking for love
But you found me anyway
Like a shot from a gun
You just blew me away
Cos you got the power
And you got control
Ain't got no strength
And I can't fight it all
I'll be what you want me to be
And I'll do what you want me to do
And I'll see what you want me to see
If that's what it takes to get closer to you
Well I'm down on my knees
Cos you got me in chains
So you do what you please
And you drive me insane
Cos you got the power
And you got control
Ain't got no strength
And I can't fight it all
Be what you want me
Do what you want me
I'll see what you want me to see
To get closer to you.
Breakdown.
(P. Noone)
Now come on can't you see
It's printed in black and white
That the news today
Is that some poor boy lies dead
The papers gloat and tell
they live in "Bitch City"
The one that has no soul
It makes me breakdown, breakdown
It makes me breakdown
Breakdown and cry
It makes me breakdown, breakdown
So read all about it today
Do you see us all as fools
Suckered by your lies
Yeah you point the finger
Like some power crazy dude
Sensation pushers hound
To feed their addictions
See the jackals at your door
It makes me breakdown, breakdown
It makes me breakdown
Breakdown and cry
It makes me breakdown, breakdown
So read all about it today
I know, you know, I know, we know
Could be a breakdown
I know, you know, I know, we know
Might be a breakdown
I know, you know, I know, we know
Could be a breakdown
(You can't believe that stuff)
I know, you know, I know, we know
Might be a breakdown.
Penetration Guru.
(C. Moss)
You've only got to say
What you really need
You shall receive it
You've only got to know
What you used to know
then believe it
Contact me I'm no Darthvader
Can't you see that I'm no stranger
Call to me when you're in danger
I'm your penetration guru
I'm an all pervading guy
Beyond the bandaloop I'll take you
I'll teach you how to live and never die
And when you see the signs
You'll freeze your mind
Then you'll be free
And when you feel the force
You'll realize
It's heaven for you and me
Contact me I'm no Darthvader
Can't you see that I'm no stranger
Call to me when you're in danger
I'm your penetration guru
I'm an all pervading guy
Beyond the bandaloop I'll take you
I'll teach you how to live and never die
Never die - imagine that.
Power To Love.
(J. Macrae, P. Noone, C. Moss)
I was searching for the answer
But I didn't know where to start
So I went down to the doctor
To take a look in his black box
And he said, what are you searching for
You don't need this to free your mind
And all the crowd sing
It's time out for the rat race
Feed on it my one true desire
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to love
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
repeat chorus
He said, I'll take you on journey
across sea and over land
To see the death and the destrucyion
Brought about by our own hands
And all around the world
Check in to the Last Chance Motel
And all the crowd sing
It's time out for the rat race
Feed on it my one true desire
Now we've got the power to love
We've got the power to love
To hold on to
Push on through
We are the brightest star
repeat chorus...
Sister Blue.
(P. Noone)
Here we are in this year of remembrance
With you and me there lies a resemblance
Celebrate, in this reunion
Celebrate, don't let it slip away
You make a bond you know can't be broken
A promise kept the words that were spoken
Celebrate, to the sound of thunder
Celebrate, don't let it slip away
C'mon, c'mon, let's get together
C'mon, c'mon, let's get together
C'mon, c'mon, let's get together sister blue
repeat chorus
I saw you once right there in the distance
A rocking child who screamed for existence
Celebrate, your wheels keep turning
Celebrate, believe when I say
A battle cry from here to oblivion
A super-nova makes you start living
Celebrate, let your cup run over
Celebrate, don't let it slip away
C'mon, c'mon, let's get together
C'mon, c'mon, let's get together
C'mon, c'mon, let's get together sister blue
Will you ride with me tonight
Share my wine
Will you lose that ball and chain
Shake it loose it's been on too long, too long
C'mon, c'mon, let's get together
C'mon, c'mon, let's get together
C'mon, c'mon, let's get together sister blue.
Better Things.
(C. Moss)
I'm gonna go where the sun's in the sky
I'm gonna go where the moon is high
And I'm gonna go where the rivers run free
I'm gonna go where I can be me
I'm gonna go where the grass is green
I'm gonna go where the water's clean
And I'm gonna go where the sky is clear
I'm gonna go away from here
I'm gonna think about better things
Think about better things
I'm gonna build a fire by the sea
I'm gonna be alone with me
I'm gonna feel the wind on my face
I'm gonna go away from this place
Make me a potion to drink, I won't make it too sweet
I've got to think about better things, think about better things
Time don't care too much about the pace
Just falls on the world, stays on your face
Better things, think about better things
I'm gonna go where the sun's in the sky
I'm gonna go where the moon is high
And I'm gonna go where the rivers run free
I'm gonna go where I can be me.
Passion For Trash.
(J. Macrae)
She's a hot wire baby, got a passion for trash
She can run my motor, when I'm flat out of gas
She sparked me up, made me take a look she said
There's only one way, you can get in my look
Down, down, down, baby get down
Down, down, down, as low as you can go
Down, down, down, baby get down, she said
You'll never know just what you can do until I show you
She got me takes eyes, all the way smile
Gotta do whatcha do, when her lights are on you
She took my loving, lust, passion and cash, and now
Nights I'm dreaming of passion for trash
Down, down, down, baby get down
Down, down, down, as low as you can go
Down, down, down, baby get down, she said
You'll never know just what you can do until I show you.
Old Man (Lay Down).
(R. Taylor)
Take a trip to China, if you dare
Thet gotta lotta old men, shooting young men there
Iran or Russia, or the USA
Old men, lay down
Lay down old men, you've had your fun
Lay down old men, your time is run
Lay down your arms, let in the light
Old men lay down
Old men, with old clothes
Old men, with minds closed
Old men, with bad teeth
They own you, they own me
Take a trip to China, if you dare
Thet gotta lotta old men, shooting young men there
Old men, with bad teeth
They own you, they own me
Old men, in big cars
Old men, with missiles
Old men, on T.V.
They own newspapers and they own me
Have you seen a politician, with a mile wide smile
Who didn't love himself more than a mother loves a child
Old men, on T.V.
They own newspapers and they own me
Old men, lay down your arms, let in the light
You had your time, your time is run.
Final Destination.
(R. Taylor)
Maybe it's just a feeling, everytime we meet
But you hit me right out of the blue, from all those people
Out on the streets
And if one time you told me that you loved me, heaven knows
I would feel that I could ski right off the bridge
Of your pretty nose
This could be my destination
This could be my destination
And if one time you told me that you cared for me
You would renovate my soul
This could be my destination
This could be my destination
Play some guitar now...
You could be my...
You might be my...
You must be my...
Final destination
This could be my destination
You must be my destination
Know what I mean...
In the day time, in the night time
In the summertime, in the wintertime
About any time, for all time
Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine
Till the end of time.
In Charge Of My Heart.
(R. Taylor)
Well I opened my eyes
Hey what do you say
What a big surprise
Another brand new day
Well I gave you the key
No questions asked
My love surrendered
Goodbye to the past
Coz you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
Well I gave you the key
To a love divine
You hid it away
Where the sun don't shine
Coz you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
Yeah you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
Yes you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
Yeah you are in charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
In charge of my heart
You are in charge of my heart
In charge of my heart
In charge of my heart.
