Don’t Leave Me This Way  (rob fahey)

 

you been out, round, all over town

baby that’s what i hear

when i ring phone, nobody home

baby that’s what i fear

many a boy’s got your number

many boys know the lines

i’ve been away from you so long

is it just a matter of time

don’t leave me

don’t leave me this way

you told me love brings all of the things

to fill your wants and needs

but now you’re running, playing, all of the same

telling me that you were never pleased

well i never broke no promise

but i’ve been breaking my bones

to give everything in the world to you

baby what’s going wrong

don’t leave me

don’t leave me this way

yeah my baby’s been gone for a long time

i said ah no ah no ah no baby

don’t leave me this way

 

 

Rhythm of the Heart  (brewer)

 

he was a lunatic

he didn’t have a plea

they locked him in the closet

threw away the key

she thought he could be saved

from the damage done

from the day they introduced her

he could hurt no one

no one knows the rhythm

no one knows the rhythm

no one knows the rhythm of the heart

they were inseparable

they were all they had

he was gifted in the mirror

she was diamond clad

he went off to work

and his head was clear

when he got home late that evening

she had disappeared

no one knows the rhythm

no one knows the rhythm

no one knows the rhythm of the heart

she was insatiable

she had all the best

her latest motion picture

was a big success

all the critics cheered

but she was not around

when the ravers broke the door in

 she could not be found

no one knows the rhythm

no one knows the rhythm

no one knows the rhythm of the heart

 

 

 

Cool Boy  (rob fahey)

 

she’s kinda sexy and she’s kinda cool

and you can bet she ain’t nobody’s fool

he did her wrong so she just shut him off

and now she’s looking for some better stuff

she’s looking for a cool boy

and i might be the one

i kinda like the way she combs her hair

and underneath of that there’s something there

and if you sneak a look under those glasses

i bet she’s looking out for higher classes

she’s looking for a cool boy

and i might be the one

i try i try i try

i bet she’s ready for some love that’ll stick

i better make my move and make it quick

cool boy

she’s looking for a cool boy

and i might be the one

 

 

 

Lose You  (brewer/ fahey)

 

i’ve tried so long to take it all too lightly

i’m well aware of all the things unsaid

and everytime you come around

you go to my head

you never told me you could stay forever

i never said that i would wait around

but now and then i’ve got to face this feeling i’ve found

i don’t wanna lose you

 no one ever said you belonged to me

i don’t wanna lose you

i can’t keep myself from holding on

every day i’m with you fills my senses

every night without you chills my bones

every single thing you do won’t leave me alone

i try to run away but there’s no safety

i run so hard but i just get run down

and there’s nowhere for me to hide without you around

i don’t wanna lose you

no one ever said you belonged to me

i don’t wanna lose you

i can’t keep myself from holding on

i don’t wanna lose you

i don’t wanna lose you

i don’t wanna lose you

i’m all choked up and i don’t know why

i hear your voice and i see your eyes

i get unnerved but it’s you i lack

you get too far and i want you back

it’s just a phase that i’m going through

another phrase that tells me

i don’t wanna lose you

i don’t wanna lose you

i don’t wanna

i don’t wanna lose you

no one ever said you belonged to me

i don’t wanna lose you

i can’t keep myself from holding on

i don’t wanna lose you

i don’t wanna lose you

i don’t wanna lose you

 

 

 

Raised On The Radio (rob fahey)

 

1956

when the dj broke to play us something new

hearts broke hearts skipped

and we knew that this was made for me and you

when he told us he was lonely

he was speaking from the heart

i was much too young to know him

but i knew it was the start

i was raised on the radio

raised on the radio

just an all american boy

who found his favorite toy

michelle, lady jane

yeah, i fell in love with girls i never met

i learned to play guitar

while the other boys where busy learning math

but all the simplest equations

never add up very far

when all my musical persuations

kept me reaching for the stars

raised on the radio

just an all american boy

i got my favorite toy

remembering when times were bad

love is all we need and love was all we had

1964

when the dj broke to play us something new

 

 

 

Ready For Romance  (rob fahey)

 

i’ve got a feeling

from my head down to my toes

it’s so appealing

that i intend to let to let you know

i’ve got a reason

to be escaping from my fear

a change of season

i feel the air is gonna clear

maybe in another day

or maybe in another night

i’m gonna turn another page

and see it in another light

maybe in another song

maybe just another glance

baby i can’t wait too long

i’m gonna take another chance

i’m ready for romance

i’ve got your number

i heard you left it on my wall

while i was under

a cloud of tears that came to fall

it fell on me babe

i thought the end was drawing near

but now i’m free babe

i see the air begin to clear

maybe in another day

or maybe in another night

i’m gonna turn another page

and see it in another light

maybe in another song

maybe just another glance

baby i can’t wait too long

i’m gonna take another chance

i’m ready for romance

 

 

 

No Regular Woman  (rob fahey)

 

I watch her on the dance floor nearly every night

and all the other girls just disappear

caught up in a fantasy

I call for her to come to me

but she never hears

no regular woman

she no regular girl

that lady got something

something put this boy in whirl

her body move as graceful as the swallow fly

her eyes they have the sparkle of the star

I want to take her back with me

show her to my family and my shangrila

last night I dreamed about her as a butterfly

she bring the gentle warm of the spring

she shared my humble offerings

she give me love then spread her wings

and fly away

sure as spring comes summer

I must bring my love here

sure as love surrounds her

I have found

no regular woman

 

 

 

 

Second Hand (rob fahey)

 

the room was close

with smoke pollution

your first hello

put me in revolution

grew more intense

with every minute

was no offense

but I liked your digits

your girlfriend said

that I've got a head

harder than a kitchen sink

well my band is tough

but I'm so wound up

don't leave me on the blink

I'm second hand

but that don't matter

I love your friend

but you’re the one I'm after

you put me down

but I can take a lickin'

I'm second hand

and I keep on tickin'

you couldn't believe that I was so insistant

you treated me cruel but I was shock resistant

you gave me the slip with no reservation

now I'm slippin' it back with an explanation

your friend and me shared a cup of tea

but that was merely just a fling

but if you think I'm harm

you better set your alarm

and keep a close watch on the thing

 

 

 

 

Physical Attraction  (brewer)

 

 

maybe we passed in a dimly lit hall

it could be years ago and i cannot recall

but there’s something in the air

trying to cut my breath

as we stand here now

i’m missing your point but i’m catching your scent

some swedish rolls or some condiment

it’s a natural response

the bells ring and we salivate

and we’re dying for a taste

in our corners face to face

it’s a physical attraction

physical attraction

physical attraction

oh oh oh oh oh

maybe we shared a revolving door

in a savings bank or a department store

you were taking things back

i was coming for more when the thunder rolled

and maybe we touched on a subway train

your voice was different but your face was the same

it went on and on in my memory

as you swept by by

and we’re dying for a chance

for this spontaneous romance

it’s a physical attraction

physical attraction

physical attraction

oh oh oh oh oh

maybe we passed in a dimly lit hall

it could be years ago and i cannot recall

but there’s something in the air

trying to cut my breath

as we stand here now

it’s a physical attraction

physical attraction

physical attraction

it’s a physical attraction

physical attraction

physical attraction

oh oh oh oh oh

 

 

 

Wraparound

(brewer)

 

just tell me when you think you’re in love

i’ve had all i can take

seems like every time i’m involved

ends up in heartache

 i need a wraparound, ooh

just a wraparound, oh

i wanna wraparound someone tonight

she’s talking soft on my telephone

and then i start to melt

why is it everytime i hang on

i gotta hang myself?

i need a wraparound, ooh

just a wraparound, oh

i wanna wraparound someone tonight

i must submit to jaded memories

as an alternative to enemies

but something hits me

makes me lose my grip everytime

knocks me off the line

you’re coming on to me in my car

my engine starts to roar

why do i have to listen to this?

you’re such a social bore

i need a wraparound, ooh

just a wraparound, oh

i wanna wraparound someone tonight

 

 

 

Give Me One Chance  (rob fahey)

 

it seems like i been hurting so long

but you don’t really care

it seems like i been crying so loud

but you just act like i’m not there

if you want i want this thing to work

if you need i need it too

well i been giving it all that i’ve got to give

but you gotta let it come to you

just give me one chance

to be with you

just give me one chance

i’ll prove it too

just give me one chance

ooh

give me one chance

seems like i keep feeding the fire

but you don’t realize

seems like i keep kicking up dust

but baby you just close your eyes

if you want i want some love that’s true

if you need i need it too

well you can hold all your love till the world stands still

but eventually it turns on you

just give me one chance

to be with you

just give me one chance

i’ll prove it too

just give me one chance

ooh

give me one chance

 

 

 

 

Love or Suicide (brewer)

 

ah she wants to be friends

but her kind of friends

put me in a frenzy

so i try to resist

but each time we kiss

ooh how she sends me

if i had a dollar for every time i cared

baby i would be a millionaire

is it love or suicide?

i’m the game and she’s the hunter

can’t believe how much i want her

love or suicide

don’t remember what i told her

i just wanna hold that girl tonight

woh lust, sweet restless lust

don’t leave me dry

give me some justice

cuz i, i could find someone new

but i’d still want you

i don’t know what the fuss is

if i had a dollar for every dream i shared

honey i would be a millionaire

is this love or suicide?

i’m the game and she’s the leader

can’t believe how much i need her

love or suicide

don’t remember what i told her

i just want to hold that girl tonight

if i had a dollar for every time i cared

baby i would be a millionaire

is it love or suicide?

i’m the game and she’s the hunter

can’t believe how much i want her

love or suicide

don’t remember what i told her

i just wanna hold that girl tonight
