I want love, but it's impossible. A man like me, so irresponsible. A man like me is dead in places. Other men feel liberated. I can't love, shot full of holes.
I'm getting bored. Being part of mankind. There's not a lot to do no more. This race is a waste of time. . People rushing everywhere. Swarming 'round like flies.
In the nicotine glare of a cold naked light. I drag my body from the covers and down forty flights. I run out the front door into the center of the street.

We are still all right. We took it on the chin. But in the thirteenth hour. No one ever wins. But we're strong enough. Like traffic all tied up. And when the static clears.
Are you standing outside?. Looking up at the sky. Cursing a wondering star. Well If I were you. I'd throw rocks at the moon. I'd say damn you wherever you are.
Well she swept through the church. Like a sweet Sunday prayer. While the choir sang son of Heaven. And the groom just walked on air. . I was killing time with Jesus.
Well, she was just seventeen. And you know what I mean. And the way she looked was way beyond compare. How could I dance with another. When I saw her standin' there.
You're not a ship to carry my life. You are nailed to my love in many lonely nights.. I've strayed from the cottages and found myself here. For I need your love. Your love protects my fears..
I'm no longer counting I'm not keeping score. I could say my list of lovers doesn't matter anymore. But some are always in my heart. And some I'm not so sure.
Baby what's wrong. Is it something that someone has said about me. What have you heard. Is there anything that you want to say to. . And baby please don't you cry.
"I meant to do my work today. The brown bird sang in the apple tree. I know that's why .... And a butterfly flittered accross the field. And all the leaves were calling me.
I wake up and I look at the clock. In the middle of the night my heart stops. When I see you in the moonlight. I know why I'm in love. . Peace will come I promise you.
I'm gonna be a mighty king so enemies beware. (Well I've never seen a king or beast with quite so little hair). I'm gonna be the main event like no king was before,.
How have I come to this?. How did I slip and fall?. How did I throw half a lifetime away. Without any thought at all?. . This should've been my time. It's over, it never began.
Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. . Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew. About you're plans to make me blue. With some other guy that you knew before.
Don't wish it away. Don't look at it like it's forever. Between you and me. I could honestly say. That things can only get better. . And while I'm away.
Written by Reg Dwight. . Never thought I'd miss you. When you said goodbye. Never thought I'd see the day. That I break down and cry. Won't you come on back to me.
Don't wish it away. Don't look at it like it's forever. Between you and me. I could honestly say. That things can only get better. . And while I'm away.
Like a corn in a field I cut you down. I threw the last punch too hard. After years of going steady, well, I thought that it was time. To throw in my hand for a new set of cards.
