Speak to me in succinct song lyrics

It was a different man, no he’s never been found
You can be so up, you can be so down
It was a different man, no he’s never been there
You can be halfway, you can be all there

It was a different man, no he’s never been here
You can be so close, you can be so near
It was a different man, playing different cards
You can be so soft, you can be so hard

You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can’t you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me
Wo-oh

You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child I’ve got my doubts
You can’t see the forest for the trees

Hey you pure raw honey child
I’m out of control every time you are near me
I’m a wolf child baby and I’m howlin’ for you
My heart beats faster hey hey I’m overpowered

I’m a wolf child, girl
Howlin’ for you
Wild flower star of my dreams
The most beautiful thing

Your kind is a dime a dozen
I’ve seen it all before
A parasite in a good disguise
Just another wolf at the door

The wolf - prowling in the nighttime
The wolf - howling in the moonshine
The wolf - gives you what you want but he ain’t no friend of mine

In touch with the ground
I’m on a hunt down after you
Smell like I sound I’m lost in a crowd.
And I’m hungry like the wolf.
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I’m on a hunt down after you.
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf

I’m gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I’m sure that you’ve been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone
Owoooooooo
Little Red Riding Hood
I’d like to hold you if I could
But you might think I’m a big bad wolf so I won’t
Owoooooooo!

Where the hell have you been
We’ve been waiting with our best suits on
Hair slicked back and all that jazz
Rolling down the Union Jack

See you at the barricades babe
See you when the lights go low, Joe
Hear you when the wheels turn round
Someday when the sky turns black

Uncle Jack, the sun is red.
My bag is packed and on my bed.
They’re taking me away from you and I don’t know why.

Uncle Jack, they hate you so.
You fought to keep me here I know.
And now we must accept it and I’ll try.

Uncle Jack, I’m very young, so much to learn, so hard to know what’s true.
Uncle Jack, I love you.
I’ll remember all of this, I’ll follow you.
It won’t matter if they hate me too.

Happy Jack wasn’t old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey

The kids couldn’t hurt Jack
They tried and tried and tried
They dropped things on his back
And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied

Liar I have sailed the seas
Liar from Mars to Mercury
Liar I have drunk the wine
Liar time after time
Liar you’re lying to me
Liar you’re lying to me
Father please forgive me
You know you’ll never leave me
Please will you direct me in the right way
Liar liar liar liar
Liar that’s what they keep calling me
Liar liar liar

Security softens the lie.

I’m perfect
In every way
Cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality
And you never bother to wonder why
Things are going so well
You wanna know why?
Cause I’m a liar
Yeah I’m a liar
I’ll tear your mind out
I’ll burn your soul

Lie to me
I promise I’ll believe
Lie to me
But please don’t leave, don’t leave

Brave boys keep your promises
You gotta do do do do do the things they say
Fighting with your relatives
You got your mother and your father and your brothers too
Your aunts, your uncles, are all against you

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don’t criticize what you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

You were standing at the station
In your briefcase was your aftershave and underwear
Can you hear the whistle blow?
Sounds like time the avenger

Time, time, hear the bells chime
Over the harbor and the city
Time to kill another bottle of wine
To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick

In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawn-light smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

I’ll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

Up in the mornin’
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin’ to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I’m wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin’ to do
But roll around heaven all day

Tumble out of bed
And stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life

Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin’
Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin’
For folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Some days won’t end ever and some days pass on by,
I’ll be working here forever, at least until I die.
Dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t
I’m supposed to get a raise next week, you know damn well I won’t.
