Look around your world pretty Baby. Is it everythin' you hoped it'd be?. The wrong guy, the wrong situation. The right time to roll to me. Roll to me.
She stepped off the bus with a burst suitcase and a frown. And she could smell the breweries and abattoirs on the edge of town. And the man who owes her money won't even lend her an ear.
He was a self made man. Made a killing on copper mine. Loved beautiful girls. Got a taste for fancy wine. And the suits he wore. Were paper thin. . He built a big white house.
You hold the key to whether we will ever last. I know I can't forever hide behind this mask. 'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past. . You'll hear my reputation anywhere you ask.
We could be away from here. By ten o'clock tonight. Pennies won't get us to heaven, I know. But a borrowed car just might. . Look through my wallet. There's enough for a hotel room.
So long, hope your dreams come true. Now I've gone I know you're gonna bloom. And did you want me to say I'd die for you?. . And what you wanted I couldn't give.
One more last hurrah. One more fearless stand. At some nightclub bar. . One more last hurrah. Gonna kiss our friends. And then crash our cars. Crash our cars.
Post office clerks put up signs. Saying, 'Position Closed'. And secretaries turn off typewriters. And put on their coats. . Janitors padlock the gates.
With some girls it don't matter, who you hang with. With some girls it don't matter, how you talk. And some girls they are easy to be yourself with. But the one girl that I want.
Well, I talk like a boy to my baby sometimes. And you talk like a baby when your boy is crying. You made something to love but I love what I am. No family man.
With two hundred people. In suits all the same. You walk off that last lonely train. . On the half finished buildings. Only seagulls remain. As you try to think back.
A struck match faded like a nervous laugh. Beyond the halo of a naked bulb. And your low voice mingles with your other half's. . School friends in second-hand clothes.
Open up your eyes. Everything is crying out. This could be your time. She fell out of the sky. Must every star been working on. Heavenly designs. . A crooked line of lightning.
You can find another country if you want. Somewhere you can hide yourself away. Find yourself another set of holes to haunt. Get yourself another debt that you can't pay.
What I want is everything to clear. So let the clocks be wrong. Let the evening be longer, let me drown in here. . 'Cause what I want gets clouded by the sun.
Baby, hold it, just let me try. For just one minute but be this other guy. And live his life. With my home and faithful wife. And your pretty face to kiss some nights.
It's been a long way down. From what I was then to what I'm now. I was up there and baby you were proud. Yeah, it's been a long way down. . It's been a slow road back.
UK CDS "When You Were Young". . By the time you get to hear this I'll be long gone down the road. Without a toothbrush or a suitcase in a world I didn't know.
People say, you are a stand up guy. You'd never hurt no one and you'd never try. And you laugh and you cry. And you do all the things. That anybody does to show they are alive.
UK CDS "Tell Her This". . This is the last love song we'll sing. Now that the death of our dreams. Has poisoned everything. The shadow of the squaw shades our door.
