If a little boy
Likes a little girl
He should give the world
To that little girl
Tell her that he loves her
Almost every day
Put his arms around her
Chase the clouds away
If a little girl
Likes a little boy
She shouldn't get upset
She shouldn't get annoyed
If that little boy
Takes a little time
Waking up his heart
Making up his mind
Lots of little people
In this little world
Lots of little children
Little boys and little girls

Nice Girl
03:52

I just wanna be sweet
I just wanna be nice
I just wanna stay calm
I just wanna be gentle
I don't wanna be hard
I don't wanna be sexy
I don't wanna be cool
I don't wanna be clever
I wanna be a nice girl
I wanna be a nice girl
Yeah
I don't wanna pretend
That I've learned all my lessons
There's a sweet little thing
Screaming inside
I wanna be a nice girl
I wanna be a nice girl
Yeah
I don't wanna be square
But I don't wanna be hip
No games and no flirtation
Just pleasant conversation
And it's not like I'm kidding
I'm so tired of this mess
There's a sweet little thing
I'm a sweet little thing
I wanna be a nice girl
I wanna be a nice girl

Ugly Love

Ugly love
My ugly love
You're all that I dream of
Your crooked face
Your juju eyes
Are all I need to fantasize
Walk me down your ugly street
Let me scratch to your underneath
My ugly love
Your gruesome smile
I never thought
That such a smile could break my heart
Don't break my heart
My ugly love
It beats inside your velvet glove
When you stand on your ugly feet
Your ugly hand is all I need
To pick me up
My ugly love
My ugly love
Don't break my heart
My ugly love).

I Change Every Minute

I'm sorry I couldn't
Be what you wanted
I'm sorry I wouldn't
I change every minute
All the people inside me
I brought them together
I thought they told me
I'd love you forever
I change every minute
I change every minute
You shouldn't have trusted
The things that I told you
It couldn't have lasted
I just wanted to hold you
I change every minute
I change every minute
I change every minute

Love Her Again
03:41
|
|||
|
Think I don't love her any more
But I mustn't tell her till I'm sure
'Cause if I tell her now
It will break her heart
And she will cry
Then I will start
To love her again
Seeing her like that
In so much pain
I would love her again
I don't want to love her again
I do not want more of the same thing
Make a sacrifice
But it's not enough
She thinks she's always right
When it comes to us
But it isn't like
What it was before
I think I don't
Love her any more
"Love Her again!" I don't want to
"Love her again!" I can't go back there again
"Love her again!" I don't want to
"Love her again!" Please don't take me there again
Last night she beat me on the chest
But I was strong I didn't say anything
Lucky for me
She didn't cry
Though I could see the hatred
In her eyes
But I just laughed
'Cause it didn't hurt
I didn't let it out
I didn't say a word
'Cause If I tell her now
It will break her heart
And she will cry
Then I will start
To love her again
Seeing her like that
In so much pain
I would love her again
I don't want to love her again
I do not want to love her again
"Love Her again!" I don't want to

Do I make you happy?
Do I make you smile?
When the world is falling
Through the sky
And the planets chase
Around and around
Will they be there
When you're down?
Do you love my body
Like I love yours?
Have you ever felt this
Way before?
And though the sun is
Full of holes
It will be there
When you're cold
Your shell has made you weak
It shields you from the sun
Your shell has made you weak
This love
Will make you strong
Do I write you letters
When I'm away?
When June starts slippin'
Back to May
And though the sun has
Lost its shine
It will be there
Every time
Your shell has made you weak
It shields you from the sun
Your shell has made you weak
This love
Will make you strong
This love will make you strong
This love will make you strong

What Love Is
03:45
|
|||
|
I may not know what love is
I only know it's not this
It's not this
I know with love there's no justice
What's love for you, for me is just a kiss
Just a kiss
Love may be blind or just absurd
But soon you'll find it's just a word
You think you've found what you've been looking for
But someday soon will you be so sure
What love is?
Love may be blind or just absurd
But soon you'll find that it's just a word
I may not know what love is
I only know it's not this
It's not this
This is not what love is

I think I'm ready
I think I'm ready
To tell you
To tell you
I think I'm ready
I know I want to
Tell you
To tell you
I love you

Beggar Of The Nile

Beggar of the Nile
Throw him in
It doesn't matter
Where he's been
Weigh him down with silver
Weigh him down with gold
Put rubies in his pockets
And diamonds in his bowl
He could be Jesus for all we know
Maybe he'll float to Portugal
He could be wearing the Imperial Cross
When he hits the deck
Rip it from his neck
And choke him to death with an albatross
Beggar of the Nile
Gets on my nerves
Throw him in the river
Thats what he deserves
Do it late at night
When the river's dark
We don't want him rescued
By Noah and His Ark
You can dress him up in a three piece suit
If you wanna do it right, kill a prostitute
A little Cleopatra, you can cut off her nose
So she looks like the sphinx
And when the body sinks
The army won't care and the police won't know
He could be Jesus for all we know
Maybe he'll float to Portugal
Weigh him down with silver, weigh him down with gold
Put rubies in his pockets
And fill his eye sockets
With a Turkish cigar and the Dead Sea Scrolls
Beggar of the Nile
Throw him in
It doesn't matter
Where he's been

Big Black Grin
03:32

I love your nose and your little fountain pen
I love your toes and the way they count to ten
You shouldn't leave till we do it all again
You and me and your big black big black big black grin
There's plenty time to win the new crusade
Plenty time to think up why you're late
You shouldn't leave till we do it all again
You and me and your big black big black big black
Boy with the big black grin
How did you get so thin?
From reading the newspapers again and again
Gets on your chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin
There's always time for one last cigarette
There's always time for your bow and arrow kit
You're sorry now but soon you won't regret
You always win with your big black big black big black
Boy with the big black grin
How did you get so thin?
From reading the newspapers again and again
Gets on your chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin
Boy with the big black grin
Does your mother know where you've been?
Taking coals to Newcastle all over again
Gets on your chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin chinny chin
Big black big black big black big black big black

The Mine

Soon as I'd first met her
I had laid my claim
I drove my stake down in the dirt
As she shivered in the rain
And once her pretty eyes were closed
I started diggin' in the ground
I'm goin' down
Well, I loved her for a year or two
Until the seam was dry
And when she'd given all she could
I finally said goodbye
She cried for so long
That in her tears she drowned
I'm goin' down
So, I guess that you could call me
A prospector of the soul
Lord knows the work is dirty
But I mine out all the gold
And now I'm headin' on
To the other side of town
I'm goin' down
