Woman in Chains

You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains, woman in chains

Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope, ooh
Woman in chains, woman in chains

Well, I feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal (A poor man's deal)
And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
(Your eyes of steel)
Well, It's a world gone crazy keeps woman in chains, woh woh woh
Woman in chains, woman in chains

Trades her soul as skin and bones
(You better love loving and you better behave)
Sells the only thing she owns
(You better love loving and you better behave) ooh ooh
Woman in chains (the sun and the moon), woman in chains

Men of stone, men of stone, hey baby, no no no, ooh

Well, I feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
(The time can't heal)
And I feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well, you know what I mean
It's a world gone crazy keeps woman in chains

It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart (somebody somewhere is trying)
But I won't understand (to breathe)
I will not accept the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy keeps woman in chains
Gone crazy keeps woman in chains

So free her, so free her, so free her
So free her, so free her (the sun and the moon)
So free (the wind and the rain) her, so free her
So free her, so free her, so free her, so free her
So free her, so free her (the sun and the moon)
So free (the wind and the rain) her, so free her

Whatever happened to fair dealing?
And pure ethics
And nice manners?
Why is it everyone now is a pain in the ass?
Whatever happened to class?
Class
Whatever happened to, "Please, may I?"
And "Yes, thank you?"
And "How charming?"
Now, every son of a bitch is a snake in the grass
Whatever happened to class?
Class!
Ah, there ain't no gentlemen
To open up the doors
There ain't no ladies now,
There's only pigs and whores
And even kids'll knock ya down
So's they can pass
Nobody's got no class!
Whatever happened to old values?
And fine morals?
And good breeding?
Now, no one even says "oops" when they're
Passing their gas
Whatever happened to class?
Class
Ah, there ain't no gentlemen
That's fit for any use
And any girl'd touch your privates
For a deuce
And even kids'll kick your shins and give you sass
And even kids'll kick your shins and give you sass!
Nobody's got no class!
All you read about today is rape and theft
Jesus Christ, ain't there no decency left?
Nobody's got no class
Every guy is a snot!
Every girl is a twat!
Holy shit
Holy shit
What a shame
What a shame
What became of class?

where the wild roses grow

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day


From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
As she stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped the tears that ran down my face

CHORUS

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, 'Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?'

On the second day he came with a single red rose
Said: 'Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?'
I nodded my head, as I layed on the bed
He said, 'If I show you the roses will you follow?'

CHORUS

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, I said, 'All beauty must die'
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

my hair looks fierce!

I don't know much about clothes,
but my hair looks fierce!
I don't know much about clothes,
but my hair looks fierce!
I don't know much about clothes,
but my hair looks fierce!
I don't know much about clothes,
but my hair looks fierce!

I don't know much about - much about - much about - much about - much about clothes and things
I just talk about - talk about - talk about - talkin to my friends when my cell phone rings
I don't care about this that - this that - this that - the other, what you talkin about?
I just show up - all done up - dance - do my thing - get paid and i'm out!

I don't know much about clothes, but my hair looks fierce!
I don't know much about clothes, but my hair looks fierce!
I don't know much about clothes, but my hair looks fierce!
I don't know much about clothes, but my hair looks fierce!

When you talk all i hear is wasay blah blah - wasay blah blah blah - take me to my car!
Got a 50 foot stretch limousine - color creme - jocelyn wildenstein at my minibar.
I got friends in high places with plastic faces - boys in braces wanna change their races.
I can't stop - cuz i wont stop - the party starts as soon as my dress drops!

I don't know much about clothes, but my hair looks fierce!
I don't know much about clothes, but my hair looks fierce!
I don't know much about clothes, but my hair looks fierce!
I don't know much about clothes, but my hair looks fierce!

The Current

Goin' down.

Goin' down.

Down where my breath is the only sound.

Goin' down.

Goin' down.

Goin' down.

Don't look for me now, I'm not around, all day long I'm underground.

I've been thinkin' about the future.

I've been waitin' for the day.

Let the current carry me, far away.

Let the current carry me away

Current flows, I don't know where it goes.

I don't care, I just get it there.

Took this job, 'cus I needed one.

'bout seven years, since I've seen the sun, all day long, I'm underground.

I've been thinkin' about the future.

I've been waitin' for the day.

Let the current carry me, far away.

Let the current carry me away.

I've been thinkin' about the future.

I hope someday, I'll get away.

But the current keeps bringin' me, back around.

Seems the only place for me is, underground.

So tomorrow when the sun comes up, I'll be goin' down.

Goin' down. Goin' down.
