album: "Up All Night" (2004)
"Rock N Roll
Lies"
There's too much silence in her night
She calls herself an angel, and she comes to town
I said L-O-N-D-O-N
Just
so she can fall
There's something about the way she walks, you know
It suits the city streets so well and yet
No
one's heard her band yet, but they play real well
Oh yeah, here it comes baby, and there's nothing to say
Here
it comes now, you don't care anyway
He sees your eyes, you're just the rock'n'roll eyes
Oh but it's just lies, babe,
it's just the rock'n'roll lies
You've seen the man, he calls out for a drink, and you're all
You're all tied up
in your backstage lines
And you, you just can't move a muscle
Six in the morning and you rise and you fall, you
got to
You got to grab what you can
Here comes your man, baby, he's a winner, yeah
He's a gunslinger
Oh yeah,
here it comes baby, and there's nothing to say
Here it comes now, you don't care anyway
He sees your eyes, you're just
the rock'n'roll eyes
Oh but it's just lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
Oh baby, when you say my name
I get, such a thrill inside
She says there's something in the way that I look at her
Yeah, I guess it's right here in
my eyes
I can't lie
And here it comes now, there's nothing to say
Here it comes now, you don't care anyway
You
see those eyes, they're just a rock'n'roll eyes
Oh just like mine, babe, they're just a rock'n'roll eyes
Oh it's just
the lies, babe, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
Oh it's just the lies, man, it's just the rock'n'roll lies
Oh...
"Golden Touch"
I know a girl with the golden touch
She's got
enough, she's got too much
But I know, you wouldn't mind
You could have it all if you wanted
You could have it all
if it mattered so much
But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But
then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
We know what they mean
Well they mean, they're just jealous
Because
they never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
That kind of girl, yes she's never alone
You
leave a thousand messages on her phone
But you know you never get through
And you could have it all if you wanted, girl
You
could have it all if it matters to you
But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're
your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
Oh we know what that means
Well it means
they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
I saw my girl
with the golden touch
Give 'em a taste but not too much
I just can't listen to the words of fools
I don't give away
too much
Someone will need your golden touch
Because all they know is how to put you down
When you're there,
they're your friend
And then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
And we know what that means
Well
it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well
"Stumble & Fall"
I heard that it was a really big deal
But
then I found out it was just nothing at all
You always say it's such a big deal
But we both know that that's nothing
at all
And I get over the breaks
And I, I stumble and fall
And I get over the breaks
And sometimes stumble
and fall
You just wont admit that it's all in your hands
So I have to try so hard to make you understand
But
all you can say is "It's just part of the deal"
And I never asked you to understand
How I keep myself to myself in the
crush of the crowd
But all you can say is
"Who cares? It's part of the deal"
And I get over the breaks
And
I, I stumble and fall
And I get over the breaks
And sometimes stumble and fall
Well I, I get over the breaks
And
I stumble and fall
And I get over the breaks
And sometimes stumble and fall
Yes I fall
Yes I fall
I stumble
and fall
