I’LL KEEP IT WITH MINE Can you keep a secret? I’ve been so confused Tonight I can’t take it I’m still missing you I’m locked in a circle With jokers and fools I’ve seen in your eyes You’re saying goodbye I’ll keep it with mine I deny in the day what I may not at night So I fell down praying When you were sayin’ goodbye Your clothes on the floor Your back to the door If you lose the time Baby don’t mind I’ll keep it with mine Bridge: Something more than you Came out of a deeper blue What I found in your eyes I lost in my smile So can you keep a secret? What’s really mine No please don’t reveal it How I couldn’t stop crying Shipwrecks were waiting The scary kind Your love has gone cold That happens sometimes I’ll keep it with mine Your love has gone cold That happens sometimes I’ll keep it with mine

TURN YOUR BACK Sitting in bed with your teddy bear yeah Your Daddy don’t see when you’re plucking hairs now Make a little home out of thorny crowns There is no you put the mirror down Hey you turn your back now No-one beats the rap now Stop making love not war But maybe love’s responsible Somebody left my door ajar I think I saw a terrorist in my backyard Hey you turn your back now No-one beats the rap now You’re never gonna be like the way you were now You’re never gonna be like the way you were now You’re never gonna be like the way you were now You’re never gonna be like the way you were now Hey you turn your back now No-one beats the rap now Hey there honey do you need a ride I got no fuel but I need a bride I take that back I’d better go I’m gonna need a lighter load Hey you turn your back now No-one beats the rap now

Lover 03:56
LOVER There’s so much here to worry about The wax is cold the candles out I’m gonna have to hide your picture Somewhere on the street I’m homeless senseless Nothing on my feet I’m trapped by fences I’m worried about my future Lover! Lover! One last time, right now tonight I just want to feel alright inside I can’t believe I’m asking You know when you’re hopeless I know you know this I saw you bite the sheet I’m worried about my future Lover! I’ve seen you running Lover! I’ve seen you hiding You’re gonna be the wild party I’m only the aftermath I’d steal for you or I’d be violent My true intention I never could hide it Lover! I know you’re lying Lover! I’ve seen you running

Baby Blue 04:07
BABY BLUE Hazel eyes led me as I walked through the door I’d been told I’d had enough but I wanted more Louie Malle cased me as I entered the room And a dancer she danced as I whistled her a tune This was a place appropriately named crime The owner she told me they do these kinda things all the time I was introduced to a woman named Precious She told me this place can get you down but the food in delicious I’m in love with Baby Blue If you saw her you’d love her too She may not be a pretty as you But she’s my Baby Blue I followed her to a room where woman danced in pairs She smiled and left standing at the foot of the stair I went up to find Hope waiting in the hall And Hope didn’t see me coming at all I’m in love with Baby Blue If you were her I’d love you too She may not be a pretty as you But she’s my Baby Blue She asked me what I’d do if all else failed I said I want to know her thoughts the rest are details She said well you must have been ill-advised Then she smiled in a way I recognized I’m in love with Baby Blue If you were her I’d love you too She may not be a witty as you But she’s my Baby Blue

ARMY OF WOMAN I've changed my mind I just don’t wanna know It’ll be alright If for days you don’t come home Come home If you’re all fucked up Even always high on drugs I’ll be your loving cup Even if you’re not in love I wanna be with ya I take no part In how I’m a-felling You won’t have to lie to me sweetheart Come home And at your sexual peak On nights when you cannot sleep When you're with another man Or fighting the Taliban I wanna be with ya
