Venus

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wa!

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
Wow!

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

(Venus was her name)

Yeah baby she's got it
Yeah baby she's got it

I Heard A Rumour

Who needs friends who never show
I'll tell you what you want to know

I could have saved a broken heart if I found out long ago.
I'm iust thinking about those lonely nights
When I waited for your call

'Til I found out all my friends were right

I didn't know you at all.
I heord a rumour
They say you got a broken heart

I heard a rumour.

Now it seems they're telling me
You've changed your wicket ways

But should I give you a second chance
Baby
I'm too afraid.
So you realize what hurt you made and the love you threw away

How can I forgive or soon forget

it's never gonna be the same.
I heard a rumour
They say you got a broken heart

I heard a rumour.
I heard a rumour
They say you got a broken heart

I heard a rumour.

I'm just thinking about those lonely nights
When I waited for your call

'Til I found out all my friends were right

I didn't know you at all.
I heard a rumour
They say you got a broken heart

I heard a rumour.
I heard a rumour
They say you got o broken heort

I heard a rumour.
I heard a rumour
They say you got o broken heort

I heard a rumour.

Love In The First Degree

Last night I was dreaming
I was locked in a prison cell
When I woke up I was screaming
Calling out your name (whoa)

And the judge and the jury
They all put the blame on me (the blame on me)
They wanna know from my story
They want to hear my plead

Only you can set me free
'Cause I'm guilty (Guilty)
Guilty as a gun can be
Come on baby can't you see
I'm still accused
Of love in the first degree

(Guilty) Of love in the first degree

Someday I'm believing
You will come to my rescue
And chain my heart, you'll keep him
Let me start a new (uuuu)

The hours passed so slowly
Since they've thrown away the key (Away the key)
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Won't you help me be

Only you can set me free
'Cause I'm guilty (Guilty)
Guilty as a gun can be
Come on baby can't you see
I'm still accused
Of love in the first degree

(Guilty) Of Love in the first degree

(Guilty)
Of Love

(Guilty)
Of Love in

(Guilty) of Love

(Guilty) of Love in

(Guilty)
Of love in the first degree

And the judge and the jury
They all put the blame on me
They wanna know from my story
They wanna hear my plead

Only you can set me free
'Cause I'm guilty (Guilty)
As a gun can be
Come on baby can't you see
I'm still accused
Of Love in the first degree

I Can't Help It

Sugar's sweet
But your kisses can't be beat

Whatever you got
It's good enough for me.
Boys say - they say - I'm good enough to eat - manger -

Whatever you want you got
'Cause you knock me off my feet.

I'm hungry for your sweet love
I need you here tonight

I'm crazy
I'm burning up
Wohohohoh!

I can't help it
I'm captivated by your honey

I can't help it
I'm captivated by your honey.

You've tasted honey
You've had the rest

Well
Here I am
Come on and try the best.
No chance - no chance -
Won't let you get away - no way -

Whatever you need from me
Gonna let you get your woy.

I'm waiting
Can't get enough
So move your body close

I need you
I won't give up
Wohohohoh!
I can't help it
I'm captivated by your honey

I Want You Back

The room has suddenly grown cold
And outside in the street it's raining

You packed your bags and sald good-bye

You took my heart without explaining.
How could you go
How could you go

We had a love most people never know.
Stop
Before yov break my heart.

I want you back
Don't care what I have to do
I want you back

I want you back
Gotta get it through to you
I want you back.
If I can make you see only you can fill the need in me

If you walk away you'll regret it someday
Please
Stay!

This room is full of memories
And shadows of the last remind me
Of all the love I gave in vain
And all the hurt I fee inside me.
I want you back
I want you back

We had a love most people never know.
Stop
Before you break my heart.

I want you back
Don't care what I have to do

I want you back
. . .

I want you back
I
I want you back

I want you back
I
I want you
I want you back!
We had a love most people never know

Stop
before you break my heart.

I want you back
Don't care what I have to do

I want you back
. . .
I want you back
Don't care what I have to do

I want you back

Love, Truth And Honesty

Never trust your own emotions
They'll always let you down
And the one that's closest to you
May not always be around

I never questioned
The promises you made
Every time I gave my heart
I was betrayed

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

Maybe everyone's a stranger
I watch them come and go
But I think everyone's in danger
If they let their feelings show

There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Don't let it be betrayed

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me

There's a lesson
And a price you have to pay
If you give your heart
Don't let it be betrayed

What a fool
That I should ever believe
In love, truth and honesty
All the time
You just keep on hurting me

What a fool
Every time I find I'm deceived
Where is the love, truth and honesty
If you see it
Won't you bring it on home to me

Nathan Jones

You packed your bags as I recall
And you walked slowly down the hall
You said you had to get away to ease your mind
And all you needed was a just little of time

Oh winter's passed, spring and fall
You never wrote me, you never called
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Gone too long...

If a woman could die of tears
Nathan Jones, well, I wouldn't be here
The key that you're holding won't fit my door
And there's no room in my heart for you no more

'Cause, winter's passed, spring and fall
You never wrote me, you never called
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Gone too long

Nathan Jones, Nathan Jones...
Nathan Jones, ooh..

Winter's passed, spring and fall
You never wrote me, you never called
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
Gone too long

Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
... gone too long
Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
... gone too long
Nathan jones you've been gonne too long
... gone too long...

Really Saying Something

Hey yeah yeah

I was walking down the street
(Do-wah do-wah)
When this boy started following me
(Oh yeah)
Now I ignored all the things he said
(Do-wah do-wah)
He moved me in every way

With his collar unbuttononed
On my side he was struttin'

He was really saying something
(Saying something)
Really saying something
(Saying something)
Bop bop shoo be do-wah
Bop bop shoo be do-wah

He flirted every step of the way
(Do-wah do-wah)
I could hear every word he'd say
(Oh yeah)
My resistance was getting low
(Do-wah do-wah)
And my feelings started to show

My heart started thumpin'
Blood pressure jumpin'

He was really saying something
(Saying something)
Really saying something
(Saying something)
Bop bop shoo be do-wah
Bop bop shoo be do-wah

He walked me to my door
(Do-wah do-wah)
I agreed to see him once more
(Oh yeah)
Lady like it may not be
(Do-wah do-wah)
But he moved me tremendously

Although he was bold
My heart he stole

He was really saying something
(Saying something)
Really saying something
(Saying something)
Bop bop shoo be do-wah
Bop bop shoo be do-wah

Robert De Niro's Waiting...

Hope's dashed to the floor like shattered teenage dreams.
Boys living next door are never what they seem.
A walk in the park can become a bad dream

People are staring and following me.
This is my only escape from it all:
Watching a film or a face on the wall.
Robert de Niro's waiting
Talking italian.
Robert de Niro's waiting
Talking italian.
Robert de Niro's waiting
Talking italian.
Robert de Niro's waiting
Talking italian.
I don't need a boy
I've a got a man of steel

Don't come any closer
I don't wanna feel.
You're breathing
You're touching
But nothing's for free

I never want this to happen to me.
Don't try to change me
You're wasting your time

Now I've got something much better in mind.
Robert de Niro's waiting
Talking italian. . . .
A walk in the park can become a bad dream
. . .
Robert de Niro's waiting
Talking italian. . . .

Come on and
Shine your light on me

Na na na na na na

Cruel Summer

Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile
But the air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
What did they say
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand

It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer
Now you've gone

The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go

It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer
Now you've gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer
Now you've gone

It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you've gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer
Now you've gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel (cruel)
Cruel summer (leaving me)
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel (it's a cruel)
Cruel summer

It Ain't What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It)

It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results

It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it
And that's what gets results

You can try hard don't mean a thing
Take it easy and then your jive will swing

It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it
And that's what gets results

I thought I was smart but I soon found out
I didn't know what life was all about
But then I learnt I must confess
That life is like a game of chess

It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do it's the place that you do it
And that's what gets results

You can try hard don't mean a thing
Take it easy and then your jive will swing

Rough Justice

The young don't grow up
Well
Not in this life

Big mouths and money win every time

Boy beats girl while the sneaky and snide
Take all your money and take your pride.
Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die

Don't call that justice !
Children are starving on the street
Another one disappearing every week

Don't call that justice!
King for a day but their kingdom grows cold

They'll never grow up but they're bound to grow old.
I remember the pain and humiliation

And Ill show them rough justice
The way that they did.
Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
. . .
Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
. . .
Boy beats girl while the sneaky and snide
Take all your money
Take all your pride.
Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
. . .
Innocent people walking by
No time to smile before they die
. . .
Don't call that justice!

Last Thing On My Mind

There was something in your voice
That was telling me don't be too sure
Arousing my suspicions
I have never felt before

I thought we had it made
I thought you'd never go away

But now you're suddenly like a stranger
And you're leaving our love behind
Of all the things I was ever planning for
This was the last thing on my mind

When I looked into your eyes
There was something you weren't telling me
But in my confusion
I just couldn't see

If there was any doubt
I thought that we would work it out

But now you're suddenly like a stranger
And you're leaving our love behind
Of all the things I was ever planning for
This was the last thing on my mind
This was the last thing on my mind

There was something in your voice
That was telling me don't be too sure
Arousing my suspicions
I have never felt before

I thought we had it made
I thought you'd never go away

But now you're suddenly like a stranger
And you're leaving our love behind
Of all the things I was ever planning for
This was the last thing on my mind

Long Train Running

Down around the corner, half a mile from here
See them long trains run, and you watch them disappear
Without love, where would you be now
Without love-ove-ove-ove

You know I saw miss Lucy down along the tracks
She lost her home and her family and she won't be coming back
Without love, where would you be right now
Without love-ove-ove-ove

Well the lilino is central
On the southern central freight
Gotta keep on pushing mama
You know they're running late
Without love, where would you be now
Without love-ove-ove-ove

Well the pistons keep on turning
And the wheels go round and round
The steel rails are cold and hard
For the miles that they go down

Without love, where would you be now
Without love-ove-ove--ooh...
Where would you be now

Baby baby baby babe oh won't you move it down
I gotta keep on moving, gotta keep on moving

Preacher Man

It's like a magic
I've got to have it
Whatever lies out of reach of me
And to despise it
Just magnifies it
Can't obliterate the need
You're bad news disguised
Dressed and painted with lies
But I just can't see
When truth is concealed
How the danger appeals
But my conscience sees

I heard it from the preacher man
He said leave that boy alone
I heard it from the preacher man
He said heaven must have sent you
But the devils gonna get you
He's gonna do it for you

You're like a black cat
Who always knows that
It's life is a mystery
You mesmerise me
And then you hypnotise me
'Til obsession devours me
You're silky words soothe me
As they move me
To ecstasy (to ecstasy)
And just as I'm falling
I hear a voice calling
Don't believe

Movin' on

You know I'll miss you
When you're gone
And I can't pretend
That I know when
Our love started to go wrong

I know we planned to stay together
Just ran into stormy weather
We couldn't see the dark clouds in the sky
(Couldn't see the dark clouds in the sky)

But I had no way of knowing
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'm movin' on

We talked it over
We've said it all
But who could say
It would be this way
But the writing's on the wall

And now the sun has finally set
And this is where the story ends
We didn't count upon a rainy day
(Didn't count upon a rainy day)

I'm movin' on

Help!

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
And now those days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.

Help me, help me, oh.
