Sentimental Thing

We always were the kind of people
To take it hard when things would go wrong
Little things would bother me
And little things would make you cry
And after all the confrontations
When it comes time for saying goodbye
All that I can wonder
Is what do I do with these flowers
And what do I do with my evenings
And what do you do with that ring
Im gonna go now
No you cant hold me
Not with such a sentimental thing
So tell me why Im feeling nothing
And tell me how you cant even cry
Little things are logical
But if theres a God above then
Can it be that love was
Just another sentimental thing

Jamie G.

Jamie g. I want you
Even though I know that I cant have you
Even though
I dont know which way you go
Im dying to come with you
What kind of times are these
A guy cant do what he pleases
But the way that you tease
Id risk all diseases
Jamie g. I want you
Even though I know that I cant have you
Even though
I dont know which way you go
Im dying to come with you
Cmon lets drink champagne
Before they bring back prohibition
Smoke a pack or two
Then try another position
Jamie g. I want you
Even though I know that I cant have you

The Bridge

Down there in the ashes
Theres gold and silver too
Dear sister, I try to share with you
Smug, you said
Take your spoils away
And you broke the bridge on your side
You wither my trouble
And all I dream to do
With half-smiles
Until I scream at you
Mad, you said
Thats how you repay
But you broke the bridge on your side
And where am i
As I swallow your tears
And the prince with the slipper appears
Do you hack at your heel
Do I try not to feel
I fail with my anger
And with my sympathy

Kinda Kute

Ya make a guy feel humble
I make a fool of myself again
Ya make me trip and stumble
Just go dance by yourself again
Ill just watch
cause thats all I wanna do
But remember
That Im here with your drink
At my table for two
And youre kinda kute baby - kinda kute baby
See you dance in your satin suit baby
When you move gotta sit right down
No competition with
This kinda kutie around
I see ya pass by my window
Have to run down the stairs again
I fix my hair around a corner
Catch you unawares again
And you laugh
And you move that way again

(He's A) Shape In A Drape

(words and music by Joe Jackson)
There's a guy going round the town
You got to check what he is puttin' down
Just one look you know the story is great
He's the guy the chicks love
And the cats can't hate
He's a shape in a drape
A shape in a drape
He's a shape in a drape
And you can dig that he is stookin'
Now some say he's a clipster and a tailor's toad
And he could hype a miserman for all his gold
Some say he's a hipster and some say nix
But everyone's solid when he gets his kicks
He's a shape in a drape
A shape in a drape
He's a shape in a drape
And he is sure alive and kickin'

Take It Like A Man

Don't let her down
Just 'cos you could before
She stole the crown
You don't rule anymore
Oh no - take it like she did before
Oh no - take it like a man
Strong, sexy, smart
Slim, slassy, super-cool
She gets the parts
You get to play the fool
Mean, drunk or dumb
Were' not casting votes today
Breaveheart of bum
Who needs you anyway
Oh no - take it like she did before
Oh no - take it like a man
Don't feel so down
Your'll find some job to do
Gansta or clown
She'll keep a place for you

Discipline

Discipline can stop my hunger
Discipline can quench my thirst
Discipline can make me stronger
If it doesnt kill me first
Im gonna pump it up
Gotta keep my body from falling apart
I gotta keep it up
Discipline can stop my hunger
Discipline can quench my thirst
Discipline can make me stronger
If it doesnt kill me first
Im gonna tie you up
Gonna keep you begging for the key to my heart
I gotta keep it up
But tonight Im gonna be my only slave
Put on my cd of the sound of waves
And drift away
til another day . . .
Discipline can stop my hunger
Discipline can quench my thirst

Rhythm Delivery

Im gonna ring your bell
Because I got your number
Im gonna knock as well
We got a rhythm delivery
Im gonna stomp and yell
We gonna bring a drummer
We gotta beat that swell
We got a rhythm delivery
Babe, Im gonna cheer you up
Set your table, fill your cup
Dont you think I should come up

So get it while its hot

You will go to high from low
You from swell will go to hip
But honey, dont forget my tip

El Blanco

Uptown - downtown
No se enredan - soy el blanco
Black, white - day, night
No se enredan - soy el blanco
Se dijo que loco estoy
Vagando por este barrio
Mire que tenga cuidado
Pero para que sirve
Se que nadie soy
Pero por donde ande
Me pudieram sonreir
Dar la mano y matarme
Uptown - downtown
No se enredan - soy el blanco
Black, white - day, night
No se enredan - soy el blanco
Se dijo que loco estoy
Viviendo en loca ciudad
Le digo que son vagos
O se nada, o se unde

Throw It Away

Wake up this mornin and the papers on the mat
Poor getting poorer and the rich are getting fat again
Up in the towers all the bosses sitting sneezing
A half asleep and the rest all start to squeezing
Dont worry bout it baby, dont try to understand
You got your answer in your hand, throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
Throw it away, throw it away
Wake up this morning theres a letter on the mat
Big brother wanna know where little brothers at again
Life is a peace of paper, goes on forever
Sign on the dotted line or end up in the river drowned
Dont worry bout it baby
Dont try to understand
You got the answer in your hand
Throw it away
