Lyrics

Bonnie & Clyde
Written by Serge Gainsbourg

(instrumental)

Tears
Written by The Chameleons

It’s just coincidence
Well you can talk that way, but I have to say, I don’t beleive in it
It was the chill of chance, I decided to dance the days away
And I wasn’t worried at all
Sneaking through the back door
No, I wasn’t worried at all
Dreams are what you live for

Waiting for the light to turn green
Carry me home
To the kindest eyes that I’ve ever seen
Carry me home
Well can you tell me how will it be now
How will it be
Can you tell me how will it be now
How will it be?

Well we were younger then
And the days were long and slow
But were we wiser then?
I couldn’t say, I wouldn’t know
But I wasn’t worried at all
I had someone to run to
And I wasn’t worried at all
I knew which way the wind blew

Counting out the chaos in bloom
Carry me home
And I watched the sinners spin round the room
Carry me home
Well can you tell me how will it be now
How will it be
Can you tell me how will it be now
How will it be?

In a cold world
How will it be?
In the real world
How will it be?
In a lonely world
How will it be?
Will the ghosts just stop
Following me

These Times
Written by Swervedriver

We live through these times
And never change the way we are
We’ve seen through their lies
So don’t ever say it’s one too far
We’ve been to these heights
With open arms and ways to fly
We live through these times
And never change
Your time was not mine
I traced you down to an untwinned town
We’d laugh all the while
Playing games with names of passer-by
We drank all your wine
With the Stooges high and a Bunnymen-style
We live through these times
That forever change

These times
These times

We live through these times
Where are the strong and who I trusted?
The harder they chime
Our wish fulfilled but wanting still
This sounds so sublime
Say what you will I just don’t care

These times
These times

Baby Bitch
Written by Ween

It’s been a while since I’ve seen you smile
But now you’ve come back again
Came into the room and you saw my girl
And you asked her how long it’s been
A year she said and you shook your head
Said I’m surprised it’s gone on that long

Baby, baby, baby bitch
For words I am at a loss
Baby, baby, baby bitch
I’m better now please fuck off

What else you gonna say when while you’re back on your stay
Maybe something, maybe nothing, we’ll see
It’s just too bad, you’re beautiful I guess
I wasn’t for you and you weren’t for me

Baby, baby, baby bitch
Please slip back into yourself
Baby, baby, baby bitch
Go conquer someone else

People say, how beautiful, how sweet, how kind
You’re perfect, you’ve got nothing to hide
But i, for one, have seen the sun
And the bitch that you’ve locked up inside

Got fat, got angry, started hating myself
Ate a birthday cake for you baby
Now I’m skinny and sick and paranoid
Without a cent to my name

Baby, baby, baby bitch
Fuck you, you stinkin’ ass ho
Most beauty I’ve seen
You come from a dream
But I can’t close my eyes anymore
No, I can’t close my eyes anymore

Green Eyes
Written by Husker Du

It’s a great big world
There’s a million other guys
I feel so lucky when I look
In those green eyes

Is it the sun
That makes them so green
Those are the prettiest eyes
I have ever seen

Green eyes…

What makes them sparkle
What makes them shine
What makes those eyes of yours
Look into mine

Love My Way
Written by the Psychedelic Furs

There’s an army
On the dance floor
It’s a fashion
With a gun my love
In a room
Without a door
A kiss is not enough
In

Love my way
It’s a new road
I follow where
My mind goes

They’d put us
On a railroad
They’d dearly
Make us pay
For laughing
In their faces
And making it our way

There’s emptiness
Behind their eyes
There’s dust
In all their hearts
They just want to
Steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in

Love my way
It’s a new road
I follow where
My mind goes

So swallow
All your tears my love
And put on
Your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don’t
Run the race

Beautiful Stranger
Written by Madonna & William Orbit

Haven’t we met
You’re some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I have a taste for danger
If I’m smart then I’ll run away
But I’m not so I guess I’ll stay
Heaven forbid
I take my chance on a beautiful stranger

I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You’re the devil in disguise
That’s why I’m singing this song
To know you is to love you

You’re everywhere I go
And everybody knows
To love you is to be part of you
I pay for you with tears
And swallow all my pride

Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger
Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger

If I’m smart then I’ll run away
But I’m not so I guess I’ll stay
Haven’t you heard
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger

I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I’d like to change your point-of-view
If I could just forget about you
To know you is to love you

You’re everywhere I go
And everybody knows

I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You’re the devil in disguise
That’s why I’m singing this song to you
To know you is to love you

You’re everywhere I go
And everybody knows
I pay for you with tears
And swallow all my pride

Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger
Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger
