Notoriety

You say I never pay attention
What makes you think I look the other way
You let me be the judge
I don't believe what they say

Your name came up in conversation yesterday
My best bet was to feign indifference
You've got an awful reputation by the way
The table made a joke at your expense
Didn't believe a word
I don't believe what they say
It smacked of jealousy
I know it's only notoriety

My reputation might precede me baby
Forget the rumours and the hearsay, yeah
You think I never pay attention to you
I guess you think I look the other way
I don't care what you've heard
Why d'you believe what they say
I'll come to your defense
You know it's only notoriety
Notoriety

To hell with our outrageous fortune baby
We've got a sea of troubles in our sights
We don't need recklessness or caution
To catch the gossip mongers dead to rights
Let them all speculate
They ain't got a clue anyway
Just use your common sense
You know it's only notoriety

Hear no evil and speak no evil
See no evil lest it come your way...

Scared

Scared

You never said you'd love me like you do
You said you'd never hurt me like you do
You can't seem to decide
If you're in love with me

Scared

You say you're losing your identity
You say you've sacrificed your freedom to me
You won't commit to me
'til I submit to you

Scared

You're not the only one who feels confused
Sooner or later you will have to choose
I can't make up my mind
Where I will draw the line

Scared

She loves you - she loves you not
She's only scared
Forget me - forget me not
You're only scared

She Can Rock It

She got goose-egg power chords
And a nasty 2 and 4, she can rock it
She can tap in 32
She can show you her tattoo - she can rock it

What good's a rock without a roll?
It's a sorry lookin' donut if it doesn't have a hole
She gets so hot, sShe's infra-red
She can show you a position that's prohibited

She's got kisses like cocaine
She's got access to a plane - she can rock it
Check out her anatomy
In her trashy lingerie - she can rock it

She's got an axe, she's got a rig
You know she'll never miss a beat -
And she ain't never missed a gig
She'll pin you down, she'll knock you out
She can wrestle with your ego -
'til your pride goes out

She can rock it

She's a shake that comes with fries
Never listens to your lies - she can rock it

She can set your pants on fire
She can strip you to the wire - she can rock it

She can nail you to a frame
Say that you're the one to blame - she can rock it
She can tell you what to wear
She can strip your conscience bare - she can rock it

Let's Get It On

I've been really trying baby
Trying to hold back these feelings for so long
And if you feel like I feel baby, come on, come on

Let's get it on, aaw babe
Let's get it on, let's love baby
Let's get it on sugar, let's get it on

There's nothing wrong with me loving you, babe - no, no, no
And giving yourself to me can never be wrong
If the love is true, oh baby

Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be?
I'm asking you baby to get it on with me
I ain't gonna worry, I ain't gonna push
Won't push you baby
So, come on, come on, come on, come on

Stop beatin' 'round the bush

If the spirit moves you let me groove you good
Let your love come down, get it on, come on baby

Hey, hey girl, you give me good feelings, so good
Something like summertime, oh do it right baby

Aww you wanna have some good lovin' and plenty good times
Aw yeah, don't just talk about it
Everybody star gettin' it on

Oh oh, wouldn't you rather make love children as opposed to war?
Like you know you should

Think about it people
Make you feel so good, yeah, come on,
What you waitin' for?

Ow - ow, yeah, come on, get it on right now
Oh - oh, yeah, get it on, get it on, get it on, come on

Get it on, love somebody good, yeah
You know you got to come on out & get it on

Life Forces

You build a dream in the clouds floating over you
The wind just blows it away
So many sins from the past catching up with you
You can't avoid judgement day

Anima / Animus / Pneuma / Prana / Atman / Jivatman / Jiva

Life forces act on you, life forces your hand

So many omens that tell of your future
You don't know what they convey

(talkin' 'bout)
Life forces you to choose, life forces at play
Life forces - nature's tools, life forces you to obey

You think you'll feel love by trying to find it
But love comes looking for you
That power which erring men call only chance
You feel it working on you - talkin' 'bout

Anima / Animus / Pneuma / Prana / Atman / Jivatman / Jiva

Life forces rule the world, life forces at work

Life forces you instinctively, life forces you on

Life forces act on you, life forces your hand

Life forces you to go on, life forces command

Just when you think you've a grip on your future
Destiny changes your plans - talkin' 'bout

Life forces act on you, life forces your hand

Life forces you to choose, life forces command

Life forces - nature tools, life forces you to obey

Life forces rule the world, life forces your hand

Fancy That

You see that girl over there with big sunglasses on?
She can't take her eyes offa you
She's up and down 'bout seven times to the john
She's about to turn around her baseball hat

Just fancy that

You see that girl over there with the predatory stare?
She's about to make her big gambit - watch it
She's got a dangerous air - don't watch her
You know she wants you to
Better turn around before she makes her play

Just fancy that

You see that girl over there -
With the high heel sneakers on?
She's been looking at you side long for half an hour
If you ask me, you better call a taxi and get uptown
You don't wanna wake up with a fatal disease

Just fancy that

Better cool your jets 'fore you lose your cool
Better hedge your bets or you'll look like a fool
Don't get all wound up, you're too out of it
Better settle up before you lose your wits

You see that teenager with no inhibitions on?
She's about to come and test the strength of your resolve and how
She's got an ugly friend for insurance in the crowd
It's a game, a tease, she'll only sneer
If you try a pass

Just fancy that

Living In Fear

Living in fear, heartquakes
Don't lift a finger for fear you'll offend
You can't tell your conscience from an instinct or a trend
Last year's neuroses are now all the rage
Your aberrations could be earning you a wage
Take 'em to the stage
Constant anxiety - panic is near - living in fear

Rampant paranoia - everyone's a victim
God's become a lawyer - everything's addicting -
Heartquakes
Living in fear, heartquakes

Get yourself sued for an incorrect thought, oh no
Hide your opinions or end up in court
I'll give you a figure - go ahead and sue
Got a hair trigger - got a short fuse -
Give me and excuse

Constant anxiety - panic is near - living in fear
Legislated passion - prenuptial agreements
Ugliness as fashion - prophylactic demons
Your foundations shaking - prices keep inflating
Values all corrupted - coitus interruptus -
Heartquakes

Living in fear, heartquakes

Living in fear, constant anxiety - panic is near
Hide from your conscience, you're living in fear

Shut Up

Get 'em off me, get 'em off me

Get their hands and their legs from above me
When you want it and you need it
But you can't seem to quite understand it

Get 'em off me, get 'em off me

Take their legs and their elbows from around me
Schizophrenia don't mean that you're living -
In the world not a dream

I said shut up, you're not incurably ill
You got the motivation, you got the pill
Don't mess it up, I go down on my knees
Don't blow it big time babe, I'm begging you please

I said shut up

What you complaining about?
You got the tonic money, you got the truth

Don't break it up
Let's stick together on this
We got everything and more, so baby -
Why should we quit?

I said shut up

Dope

I can take you all right now
Kick the shit tomorrow too
I know what you make me say
I know what you make me do
Tired of being pushed around
By a chemical like you
Doesn't matter who you use
Dope is what dopers do

Pick 'em up and throw them down
You're a source of revenue
Pulverise and snort you up
Turn all kinds of shades of blue
I could give you all my dough
I could lose my life to you
Swallow, shoot, inhale or chew
Dope is what dopers do

I could use another hit
Anything you've got will do
I can take you unrefined
I can take you cut in two

You give me a one track mind
Maybe you could make that two
I seem to be out of cash
Let's make that an I.O.U.
Vanish in a cloud of smoke
Disappear up a tube
Dopin' is what dopers does
Dopin' is what dopers do

Dope is what dopers do

Taxman

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you nineteen for me
Cos, I'm the taxman - yeah I'm the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
Cos, I'm the taxman - I'm the taxman

If you drive a car I'll tax the street
If you try to sit I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk I'll tax your feet

(Taxman)

Cos, I'm the taxman - I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for
(Taxman Mr. Clinton)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Taxman VAT)
Cos, I'm the taxman - yeah I'm the taxman
And my advice to those who die
(Taxman)
Declare those pennies on your eyes
(Taxman)
Cos, I'm the taxman - yeah I'm the taxman
And you're working for no-one but me
(Taxman)

You'll win every time
You'll find that charanga leaves you reeling like a case of wine

We'll dance charanga all day time and night time
We'll dance charanga the rest of our lives

Ay charanga dance the night away
Ay charanga come on yeah

Throw your caution into the wind and let it fly
Come on let your worries all disappear
Take a chance and let the wheel spin let your bet ride
Don't you wish this night would go on for years

Come dance the charanga yeah now
A little bit closer
Let's groove on this all-night party
It's much as the law allows
Take a chance and let the wheel spin let your bet ride
Don't you wish this night would go on for years

Charanga

Do something that'll make her feel real good
Say something that'll make her smile
Say something that'll make you understood
Do something with a little style

Gamble everything on the feeling
You'll win every time
You'll find that charanga leaves you reeling like a case of wine

Do something that'll make her feel real good
Say something that'll make her smile
Say something that'll make you understood
Do something with a little style

Girl you're such a sexy thing
Oh, you make my spirit sing
And your close proximity
Oh, it has affected me
I can feel this rhythm swing
With no encouraging
And your sensuality
Mmm, it overpowers me

Power Trippin'

Don't wanna push you around
You know I think that you're boss
Let's work out some middle ground
Say heads or tails and then toss
Power trippin'
Taking turns
The things you want to teach you need to learn
Power trippin'
It's your go
I'll share the drive in with you quid pro quo

You know which buttons to push
I like being under your thumb
Better to squeeze than to crush
I love it when you succumb

Power trippin'
Switching roles
I know you like it when I lose control
Power trippin'
Swapping sides
Let's just relax
Kick back enjoy the ride

Long as we're set up in these partnership
We take our turns being on a power trip
Don't care which one of us is running the show
Long as it's r & b and rock and roll

I know you're such a power house
No need for such a display
I can't visit your dog house
It's too far out of my way

Power trippin'
Taking turns
The things you want to teach you need to learn
Power trippin'
It's your go
I'll share the drive in with you quid pro quo

You call the shots and I'll call the tune
I'll crack the whip and you rule the room
I'll wear the pants and you pull the strings
Don't waste your energy on foolish things

You call the shots and I'll call the tune
Power trippin'
I'll crack the whip and you rule the room
Power trippin'
I'll wear the pants and you pull the strings
Power trippin'
Don't waste your energy on foolish things
Power trippin'
The ace I'm holding is meant for you
Power trippin'
I couldn't pull a power trip on you
Power trippin'
As long as one of us is in control
Power trippin'
Turn up the power and let's
Rock and roll

Don't wanna push you around
You know I think that you're boss
Let's work out some middle ground
Say heads or tails and then toss
