I've got a pocket
full of holes
head in the clouds
the king of fools
you've got a ribbon of rainbows
the sun in your eyes
burning through
could be I'm happy and sad
could be I'm losing my head
over you
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
So if I'm dreaming
don't wake me tonight
if this is all wrong
I don't want it right
'cause you're the one sure thing
when I get lost in the game
once again
hey, I'm a lucky guy
without a reason and I
don't understand
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
Well, there must be some kind of mistake
to give your heart away
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
I've got a pocket
full of holes
head in the clouds
the king of fools
you've got a ribbon of rainbows
the sun in your eyes
burning through
could be I'm happy and sad
could be I'm losing my head
over you
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
Well, there must be some kind of mistake
to give your heart away
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
Well, there must be some kind of mistake
to give your heart away
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
well you've gotta be crazy baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be crazy, baby.....
If a boy had a chance
a chance with someone like you
are you gonna break his heart?
let him cry for the moon?
are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes?
I just freeze
everytime you see through me
and it's all over you
electric blue
on my knees
help me, baby
tell me, what can I do?
electric blue
Oh, I had a dream
for a moment I believed it was true
oh, I'd have given anything
just to be there with you
are you hiding
somewhere behind those eyes?
I just freeze
everytime you see through me
and it's all over you
electric blue
in too deep
standing here waiting
as I'm breaking into
electric blue
I can see
can see that it may be just a vision for you
electric blue
on my knees
help me, baby
tell me what can I do?
electric blue
Twenty storey buildings coming down on me
mountain ranges sliding into the sea
rivers of blood, running red
I got a broken heart and a broken head
Chorus:
I had a little accident
nothing too seriious
take a look at this place, take a look at this mess
nothing too seriious
if you close your eyes it may go away
nothing too seriious
we could do it agin some other day
nothing too seriious
well, I shook myself and I fell out of bed
I can't remember a thing, oh, was it something I said
well, I don't know my name and I don't know my place
there's a crack in the mirror, cracking my face
(baby is blue) she had a heavy night
(baby is blue) she's gonna be alright
(baby is blue) she'll never the same
you better take her home
(chorus)
There's a noise upstairs in the attic
it's the shuffle of worn out shoes
and the scent of the oil and brushes
drifts down like a pale perfume
Chorus begin:
and he says, "I...
I am a man,
a simple man,
...a man of colours,
and I can see
see through the years,
years of a man,
...a man of colours"
and the old man rubs his failing eyes
and takes a moment to watch the view
from a window nobody knows is there
he can see the empty street below
[chorus]
he says, "I keep my life in this paintbox
I keep your face in these picture frames
and when I speak to this faded canvas it tells me
I have no need for words anyway..."
(chorus)
and he says, "I...
I am a man,
a simple man,
...a man of colours,
and I can see
see through the tears,
tears of a man,
...a man of colours"
Dusty wind blew 'cross the high plains
as a stranger rode into town
with a certain reputation
for the ladies and a gun
he walked to the bar so casual
just as easy as you please
he was bound to do some damage
with those valentino eyes
weel, the barmaid was an angel
and she looked so out of place
and she said her name was 'Sunset'
she was different from the rest
and she couldn't help but notice
the moment he walked through the door
that the gunman was something special
and the bullet found a score
Chorus:
and the one mistake you make is just enough
and that one mistake is "Boy, you talk too tough"
only takes a single bullet
bring the fastest trigger down
only takes a pretty woman
put a gunman underground
and you may hear the same old story
in ev'ry town, on ev'ry street
the story of 'Sunset'... and the
Heartbreak Kid
dirty rain soaked through the doorway
of an upper westside bar
and the TV news was talking
to the crowd of people there
"...well the kid was always reckless
he said "I'll never stay too long..."
"..and when she knew that he would leave her
Sunset shot that gunman down..."
(chorus)
"Oh, the story of 'Sunset'...
and the Heartbreak Kid."
One of those days
that just comes and goes
it's not so special
she watches the birds
that rest on a ledge
outside her room
the wallpaper old and faded
a crack in the window pane
the radio just keeps playing
playing that same old song.
She smiles to herself
"they think that i'm strange...
...they say I'm a dreamer
...but I don't complain,
though I don't have much
to call my own."
and she's not a movie star, no
and she's not a beauty queen
she'll tell you it doesn't matter
'cause she's not the only one
she says,
"I know a place
where I keep the best of things
I'm not gonna wait
for my piece of heaven.
Where there's a road
it leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
the key to the
...kingdom..."
she stares at the page
of a new magazine, the morning papers
she walks into town
and catches a show
if she can find the time
and she's not a movie star, no
and she's not a beauty queen
she'll tell you it doesn't matter
'cause she's not the only one.
she says,
"I know a place
where I keep the best of things
I'm not gonna wait
for my piece of heaven
where there's a road
it leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
the key to the
...kingdom..."
I used to be the one who made you feel
So safe and strong
I could always make it right
When everything was going wrong
I don't know why it seems
So different now
I'm on my own
And I don't know what it is
That scares me when I'm all alone
I can't believe that everyone I know
Would lie to me
When they all tell me that I'm not the man
I used to be
Don't want to hear about the things
That I already know
You've got to say it isn't so
Oh no, it's the...
Chorus:
The ghost of you that gets me every time
Just won't let go until it brings me down
I try to hide it but there's only one
My obsession is you
Yeah, my friends all turn away
They tell me not to waste my time
They say they just don't understand
How anyone could be so blind
And there's one thing you can't change
Forget about her now you know she's gone
Hey boy, that girl is just no good
She's only gonna do you harm
So I watch the hours turn
Until I lose the last lony roy of light
And I know I can't pretend
Those shadows won't come out tonight
(chorus)
You got a long face, no place
Everywhere a bad case of nowhere news
And the weather man telling me
All of the time
" ... looks like rain ... "
Put on my Cadillac boots
And my magazine jeans
Though the colours don't rhyme
And I won't stop walking
'til I turn the blue world upside down
I say "Hey!"
to the girl in the moon
There's a mad clock ticking
Inside of my brain
And it might just explode
I got a subway running
Right over my roof
I can't hear a sound
And there's Bayman and Robin
Leaking into my room
Through a hole in the wall
And there's Jane and Tarzan
With their favourite monkey
... what's his name?
I say Hey! to the girl in the moon
There's a mad clock ticking
Inside of my brain
And the colours don't rhyme
I'm gonna stand here waiting
'til the girl in the moon
Comes back down
I say "Hey!"
to the girl in the moon
Her arms around a flag of blue
His clours flying black and white
She hears the voice between the lines
He hears the warning, he turns his black
Anybody's war
Who is there to catch the pieces
Anybody's war
Faces we don't recognise
She catches every last regret
She holds it gently like a dying star
He stands like a small boy in the street
Throwing rocks and stones into the crowd
Anybody's war
Who is there to catch the pieces
Anybody's war
Faces we don't recognise
Anybody's war
Turning round and round in circles
Anybody's war
People just like you and I
Just a little too afraid
To take the blame that they can't hide
Like a frightened child who is running scared
And they know each other well
Through the innocence long gone
Is the only thing they ever shared
She'll promise that she'll try again
He'll promise that he'll settle down
And they will call themselves the best of friends
But still they're strangers, just like anyone
Anybody's war
On the edge of the bay
A day just like the next
They gather their nets
And face their boats around
Over the rooftops
Hear the hum of wings
In seventeen seconds
The world explodes
And it buries the night a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood red sunrise
You'll never see the faces
Of the fishermen
But you may see their shadows
Burned against the wall
And in the temple grounds
New bamboo grows again
As if the heat of the flame
Had left no trace at all
And there's a light in the eastern sky ... sunrise
And there's no place a man can hide, the sunrise
Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood red sunrise
But in the cool of the evening
When the children sleep
The old mountain remembers
And hangs his head in clouds
And there's a light in the eastern sky, yeah, ... sunrise
And there's no place a man can hide, the sunrise
Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood red ... sunrise
Crazy
