The Hard Place Theme

The texture of resounding rejection
Pervading my every thought and direction
Maybe I'll move to LA
I gotta get out of this hard place
I never thought I'd need a home
But I'm disconnected and alone
Never thought I would be
But now I know
Now I know this is my place
It's hard to live your dreams in a hard place
You gotta pay your dues in a hard place
You wanna get fucked up in a hard place
There's nothing else to do in a hard place
But a ray of light is shining through
That's what this song can give to you
Everybody needs a little bit of something
Everybody needs a little bit of love
Everybody needs a little bit of..
There's nothing to go for in a hard place
Got nothing to show for it in a hard place
It's hard to live in a hard place
So hard to live in a hard place

Standing on the limit of the city that you know
It's where you live but wouldn't call it home
One more night and one more flight
And you made it past the line just in time
Love in your heart
Don't be afraid of the love in your heart
But you're not alone now
Crossroads have crossed your path again
One path starts where the other finds its end
Fools laugh but wisdom sees the light
Brightens up the shadows of the night
Pick it up, turn the key now
Don't worry 'bout your history now
Gotta get going, gotta do it fast
Because you're not alone now
"so many cold eyes on the street tonight
judging up and down who's doing it right
turn away from those fools make a brand new start
and don't be afraid of the love in your heart"
Sometimes you gotta tear your life apart
Start over and make a brand new start
Now now listen to me now
Now now listen to me now
Don't be afraid of the love in your heart
The limit of the city is where it starts
And it might not work and you might get hurt
But you're not alone now
Don't be afraid of the love in your heart

Benjamin

His name was Benjamin
He was an animal of some sort
With his own TV show
It was a good show
And oh the children laughed at him in the studio audience
He was an animal of some sort
All the children laughed at him until his television show was cancelled
Oh Benjamin he hit the bottle like a pro
Day and night
It's a miracle that he survived
Benjamin
He was an animal of some sort
Benjamin
He could clap so good
He clapped his hands together and all the children said
"Benjamin you're just the greatest thing yeah. We think you're really swell we like how you clap"
and Benjamin said..

I think that you missed a spot
You don't know what you got
Waiting for you
I looked around everywhere
Under the thing
Under a chair
And around this town
And up and down
But I think that you missed a spot
Take off those sunglasses
Take off that lipstick
Turn around
I'm over here
Waiting for you
Turn around

Rock 'n' Roll girls
Rock 'n' Roll guys
In fancy restaurants
Pool halls and local haunts
He looked at her
Deep in her eyes
He showed her everything
She said you're kidding right?
Rock 'n' Roll girls
Rock 'n' Roll guys
I told you before
If you couldn't be nice
You might just keep it shut
You beat her appetite
He looked at her
Deep in her eyes
He showed her everything
She said you're kidding right?
Rock 'n' Roll girls
Rock 'n' Roll guys

Sexy in the city tonight
Subway rolls around underground
And the headlights are too many to count
Ass pocket keeps me feeling right
Ass pocket keeps my budget tight
Some girls I know they like it rough
Some girls don't want none of that stuff
Some girls do it all all night long
Some girls only dance to this song
Some guys they judge a book by its cover
That's not me
Girl I wanna know what's inside
Is it sexy?
Bumpin' in all of the clubs
The bouncers are just doin' their jobs
Don't mess with the guy at the door or he will rearrange your face for free

Omelette (AM Gold edit)
03:07
|

If you wanna be my girl
You gotta tell the whole wide world
If you wanna stay true child
You gotta hold on to the love in your heart
Oh no sometimes love can go bad
It's true
But if you wanna make an omelette
You gotta break a few eggs
No one makes me feel like you do
Oh it might sound like a cliche
But I swear to god it's true
You can take me home
You can do it tonight
But if we're gonna do this thing
We're gonna do it right
I get it now.

I Want You Back

When you're gone
I get so down
Six feet
Underground
Now I want you back
I want you back
Then I hear
That you been running around
Make me feel
Like a clown
Yeah I want you back
Where you belong
Yeah I want you back
Back in my arms
Check it out
What's that sound?
It's my heart
Hitting the ground

Anyplace You Go

A little bit of love is all we need
It's clear to see for all the world
Join our hands in harmony
Lift your voice and give the precious gift of liberty
Anything you say
Anything you say is alright
Any place you go
Any place you go tonight
It's OK with me
You can go and you know
It's fine with me
You can even take your time
It's OK with me
You can go and you know
It's fine with me
You can even take your time
The mission isn't giving easily
It takes a lot of trust in who you give it to
But when it comes on down to you and me
But this is what I've got to say to you
Takes a bit of empathy
To put yourself inside my shoes
But if it ever comes down to vanity...

Whiskey & Wine
02:36
|

|
Another glass of whiskey
Another glass of wine
I wish that you were with me
To help me pass the time
Time on my hands
Time to understand
Time to feel the pain
Falling down like rain
Oh time on my hands

You can never go back to the past
You can never go back home
Cos yesterday's gigs are yesterday's news
but the mistakes that you made are following you
They keep you awake at night
Long after you turned out the light
And you cry yourself to sleep in an empty room
Night after night it's the same old woeful tune
Oh me oh my
You can never undo what you've done
You're forever on the run
You're running around with this weight on your head
Sometimes you think that you're better off dead
That sorrow belongs to you
But something else does too
Oh remember
The good times
The good times that we had
Come on baby,
Darling
Things ain't all that bad!
