1. SEPTEMBER GURLS

September gurls do so much
And for so long, 'til we touched
I love you, boy nevermind
I've been crying all the time.

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad.

September gurls, I don't know why
How can I deny what's inside
Even though I keep away
They will love all our days.

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad.

When I get to bed late at night
That's the time he makes things right
Ooh, when he makes love to me
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.

September gurls do so much
And for so long, 'til we touched
I loved you, boy nevermind
I've been crying all the time.

December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
December boys got it bad
Oooh, oooh, oooh.

Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, (oooh) oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh.


2. WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN

All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance, dont you know
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino.

All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got their money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette.

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian.

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
They drop your drink, then they bring you more.

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian.

All the kids in the market place say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian.

Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac.

If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
Spin the clubs, cruise down the block.

All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian.

All the cops in the donut shop say:
Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian.


3. IF SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WANTS

Oooooh.

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

I'd say her values are corrupted
But she's open to change
Then one day she's satisfied
And the next I'll find her crying
And it's nothing she can explain.

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her (giving it to her).

Some have a style
That they work hard to refine
So they walk a crooked line
But she won't understand
Why anyone would have to try
To walk a line when they could fly.

No sense thinking I could rehabilitate her
When she's fine, fine, fine
She's got so many ideas traveling around in her head
She doesn't need nothing from mine.

If she knew what she wants
(He'd be giving it to her)
If she knew what she needs
(He could give her that too)
If she knew what she wants
(But he can't see through her)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

But she wants everything
(He can pretend to give her everything)
Or there's nothing she wants
(She don't want to sort it out)
He's crazy for this girl
(But she don't know what she's looking for)
If she knew what she wants
He'd be giving it to her
Giving it to her.

(He'd be giving it to her)
(He could give her that too)
(But he can't see through her)
Ooooooh
Giving it to her
Giving it to her now.


4. HERO TAKES A FALL

The hero is exposed when
His crimes are brought to the light of day
Won't be feelin' sorry, sorry, sorry
On the judgment day.

It wasn't me who said
There'll be a price to pay
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no.

Your mother told you stories
You substitute with girls who tell you more
Suddenly your sycophants are chanting slogans at your door.

We're seeing through you now
I saw it all before
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh no.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.

Emotion is a virtue
For you, it is the one fatal flaw
Sitting on your throne and drinking,
Thinking she'll return your call.

Every story's got an ending
Look out! Here it comes, here it comes
And I won't feel bad at all
When the hero takes a fall
When the hero takes a fall
(Hero takes a fall) oh woe, woe hoe.

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, uh-huh oh.


5. LIVE

You know, you got it now
Is that yourself or nothing at all
Oh, you think you live
Well, how can you, you're stuck in four walls.

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.

So, you come and go
Well good day, don't waste anytime
Oh, your life today
It's all familiar, soon you will find.

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.

Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, live.

Now, do what you want
Or where you want, it's all up to you
Ooh, you like the room
It's nice to do what you wanna do.

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.

If you know by now
What life's about, go on now and live
And if you don't know how
It's not so hard, just let go and live.

If you gotta go
You better live your life before you pass away
Don't waste a day
All your life
You've been locked in you room you've never had a chance to roam
Away from home.

Live, live, live, live
Live, live, live, live.


6. MANIC MONDAY

Six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late 'cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made.

It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my Funday (oh-woe)
My I don't have to runday (oh)
It's just another manic Monday.

Have to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane, I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train but the boss is already there.

It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my Funday (oh-woe)
My I don't have to runday (oh)
It's just another manic Monday.

All of my nights why did my lover have to pick last night to get down (last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us, employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice:
'C'mon honey, let's go make some noise' (ba ba ba baaaa)
Time, it goes so fast (when you're having fun).

It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my Funday (oh-woe)
My I don't have to runday (woe)
It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my funday (oh)
It's just another manic Monday.


7. JAMES

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James.

It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice.

Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.

Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feelin' somewhat surprised.

You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing through.

Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.

(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down.

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore.

And now I realize
I had it all wrong
I'll only take this
Trip for so long.

Woe, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
Letting me down again, James.


8. COMPLICATED GIRL

Valerie is beautiful
But she seems a little bit confused
The life you offer her
She says she can not use.

You live in another world
She thinks she won't fit in and, oh
What about her plans for him
She bends to his will.

Hey, you'd better listen
'Cause I'm warning you
Love is never simple
With a complicated girl.

You call her on the phone
She's got the other guy on hold
You see the scene unfold
You know it very well.

Stay inside your room all day
When she doesn't call you pull the shades
Never seen you act this way
The girl has hit you hard.

Hey, you'd better listen
'Cause I'm warning you
Love is never simple
With a complicated girl.

Why bother making rules
You know she will not follow
Someday she'll find a way to remedy
This lovely mess she's made of you.

Hey, you'd better listen
'Cause I'm warning you
Love is never simple
With a complicated girl.


9. BELL JAR

She walks in the room
And checks out the faces
We think she's all the seven wonders of the world
But there's a sadness
Hidden in the bizarre
Moonlight and madness
Living in a bell jar.

She dresses in black
'Cause sorrow is a magnet
Everything comes to her like it was meant to be
But she's frustrated
Leaving things as they are
What she created
Living in a bell jar.

She seems so at home
She's never alone
But she's oh so lonely
What is the crime
In knowing your mind
Set it free.

Attached to a mirror
In her glass-sided prison
She writes the note that will excuse her from this world (this world)
It's complicated
Living in a bell jar
And she suffocated
Living in a bell jar.

Bell jar
Bell jar.


10. ETERNAL FLAME

Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame.

I believe
It's meant to be, darlin'
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning (burning) an eternal flame.

Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh.

Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely

Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame.

Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Aaaaahh, an eternal flame.

Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame.

Hey, you'd better listen
'Cause I'm warning you
Love is never simple
With a complicated girl.
