early I heard my first guitar And I knew I wanted to be a big star And I told my poor worried father Said I ain't gonna go to school no more Cuz see I wanna look cool and I wanna look good My hair slicked back and my black leather boots Wanna stand up tall with my boobs upright And feel real hot when my makeup's nice I get sexy underneath the lights Like I wanna fuck every man in sight Baby come home with me tonight Make you feel good make you feel all right I'm going away to London I got myself a big fat plan I'm gonna be a singer in a rock 'n' roll band I'm gonna change everything I can Sorry to be disappointing Wasn't born for no marrying Wanna make my own living singing Strong independent pagan woman singing And I feel real cool and I feel real good Got my hair shaved off and my black thigh boots I stand up tall with my pride upright And feel real hot when my makeup's nice I get sexy underneath them lights Like I wanna fuck every man in sight Baby come home with me tonight Make you feel good make you feel all right I'm glad I came here to London I've had myself some big fat fun And I have even made some mon' I've got the most angelic son My baby daughter is golden And I

walk Into the light Day has turned cold Hold back the night What will become Of you and I We had a dream Don't let it die Just hold back the night Do you wanna be, wanna be My dying day My darkest hour My overdose Cuz that's what you'll be Just hold back the night There was a time I know you'll agree We saw it all A glorious sight Everyone's burned Everything's gone What we were then Now we are not So hold back the night Do you wanna be, wanna be My dying day My darkest hour My overdose Cuz that's what you'll be Just hold back the night Cuz that's what you'll be Just hold back the night WHAT DOESN'T BELONG TO ME ------------------------- The woman named Iris gave birth to the goddess In her son who can't say her name Because of all the pain I miss you but I'm glad you're gone I want you but I'm not alone I'm haunted by you But I'll get you gone if it takes me all my life long You take back the pain you gave me You take back what doesn't belong to me Take back the shame you gave me Take back what doesn't belong to me I'm Irish, I'm English, I'm Moslem, I'm Jewish, I'm a girl, I'm a boy And the goddess meant for me only joy And real love requires you, give up those loves Whom you think you love best Love puts you through the test And only loyal love will bring me happiness And take back the rage you gave me Take back the hatred you gave me for me Take back the anger that nearly killed me Take back what doesn't belong to me And real love requires you Give up those loves That you think you love best Love put you through the test And only loyal love will bring you happiness And take back the pain you gave me You take back what doesn't belong to me Take back the blame you gave me Take back what doesn't belong to me Take back what doesn't belong to me Take back what doesn't belong to me Take back what doesn't belong to me THE STATE I'M IN ---------------- I'm circling around the sun Hoping for a chance to see You above everyone To rescue me from this heat I'm waiting for night to fall And it's been days Are you sorry yet You took our one and final breath When the flag was halfway down Just look at me now... Oooooh- It's like a breeze blowing deep beneath my skin Oooooh- Won't you help me out of the state I'm in Oooooh- I can't stand myself since you've been gone There's nothing there to lean upon Walk into a photograph That waiter took so well Oooh if I could only laugh Like that girl at some hotel I call out to anyone But not too loud I'm not ready yet To share the phone or TV set It's a long long way to come Out of this one ... Oooooh - It's like a breeze blowing deep beneath my skin Oooooh - Won't you help me out of the state I'm in Oooooh - I can't stand myself since you've been gone There's nothing there to lean upon And now it seems so fatal The last stone we left uncradled And I ask you are you sorry yet Are you sorry yet Cuz I may never come Out of this one ... Oooooh - It's like a breeze blowing deep beneath my skin Oooooh - Won't you help me out of the state I'm in Oooooh - I can't stand myself since you've been gone There's nothing there to lean upon Oooooh - It's blowing deep, blowing deep Oooooh - help me out, help me out of that state I'm in Oooooh - It's blowing deep beneath my skin This is the state I'm in This is the state I'm in THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE ----------------------- Out of Ireland I have come Great hatred and little room Maimed us at the start And now home just breaks my heart To America I have come I hope to bring your preachermen Home to show my people how they can Get their names back in the book of life of the lamb I know that I have done many things To give you reason not to listen to me Esspecially as I have been so angry But if you'd knew me maybe you would understand me Words can't express how sorry I am If I ever caused pain to anybody I just hope that you can show compassion And love me enough to just please listen Out of Ireland I did run Great hatred and little room Aimed to break my heart Or wreck me up and tear me all apart To America I have come I need to find a good preacherman Who can show me how I can Get my name back in the book of life of the lamb I bring these blessings with me A strong heart full of hope and a feeling That everything in this world would be okay If people just believed enough in God to pray But the world thinks that sounds crazy And that's the thing that makes me sing so sadly To think that we would leave God so lonely To think that we would mess up our own destiny Out of history we have come With great hatred and little room It aimes to break our hearts Or wrecks us up and tear us all apart But if we listen to the preacherman He can show us how it can be done To live in peace and live as one Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb Out of hopelessness we can come If people just believe it can be done 'cause every prayer ever prayed is heard take power in the power of the word Out of history we have come With great hatred and little room It aimes to break our hearts Or wrecks us up and tear us all apart But if we listen to the Rasta man He can show us how it can be done To live in peace and live as one Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb Out of history we have come With great hatred and little room It aimes to break our hearts Or smash us up and tear us all apart But if we listen to the Rasta woman She can show us how it can be done To live in peace and live as one Get our names back in the book of life of the lamb IF U EVER --------- The memories u bring Make my eyes both sting I can't help the pain that's tearing At my throat and my chest Where everything is kept When I start remembering How the clothes that u wore Made my heart so sore I just couldn't think anymore Of u once u were gone And it's been so long I've been carrying on And if u ever came home in the night Darling I'll treat u right Oh, darling I'll treat u right U got into your car and u drove as far As u could and even further And no matter how I sang I just never can Stop needing your hand Though I got into my own car and I drove as far As I could so that I might forget u I never could, does that mean I'm no good If it doesn't it should But if you ever came home in the night Darling I'd treat u right Oh darling I'd treat u right If you ever came home in the night Darling I'd treat u right And darling I'd treat u right EMMA'S SONG ----------- The first time I saw you I loved you I loved you Your face blue Your eyes too Your mouth too Your mouth too When I heart you I wanted to Give birth to you Give birth to you I made love to you I made love to you The great goddess Had us blessed The last time I saw you I fought with you I fought with you I didn't mean to I didn't mean to Oh say you'll see me Let me say sorry The next time I'll see you I'll love you I'll be sweet to you I'll take you to My healing room Oh we both know How loneliness goes Everytime I see you I want you I want you The more I do You hate me to But the great goddess Had us blessed KYRIÉ ELÉISON ------------- KYRIÉ ELÉISON back off, ol'
