Sweet Melinda's got a tough tough life
Never time to just play
Not content to be someone's wife
Had to go her own way
Took the kid and got a small small place
Just enough to get by
Every morning it's the same old race
Late at night, she'll just cry
Come on baby wanna take your hand
Come on baby so fine
Come on baby wanna take your hand
Come on baby let's shine!
Sweet Melinda's gettin' up at six
Looks around, it's so gray
Every morning like a ton of bricks
Just another long day
Makes the coffee and it gets too cool
TV news in the dawn
Locks the door and takes the kid to school
Why's the passion all gone
Chorus
All I know is that she's been my friend
Seen my ups and my downs
Helped me through it when I hit the end
Picked me off the cold ground
Never been around a heart so right
Wide and deep as the sea
All I dream of in the dark dark night
Her, the starlight, and me

Outta Town Friend
03:46
|
|||
She's down in Virginia
'cause she had to take a break
She had to get away for awhile
New York was too much
Now she's livin' by a lake
I wish that I could see her pretty smile
I wish that I could see her pretty smile
Hey hey hey
Now outta town friend
Hey hey hey alright
Hey hey hey
Now outta town friend
Love you in the morning
and the rainy rainy night
I think it was a Monday
She called me on the phone
She told me that she felt unblessed
She said she felt confused
Just completely all alone
I told her she was still the very best
I told her she was still the very best
Chorus
I had to go to work so I had to say goodbye
I told her that we'd talk real soon
She said she'd really like that
I think I heard her cry
I looked out at the downtown moon
I looked out at the downtown moon

New York Girl
05:03
|
|||
One day we just met with the sky so blue
Conversation all night long
Everything she said
All the words rang true
Now I see her face and I hear her song
Deep inside my heart
That New York girl
Deep inside the endless night
Deep inside my heart
That New York girl
Everything she does just feels alright
Walkin' down the street
Now I hold her hand
Sometimes in a noisy crowd
Everything's complete
Can you understand
Nothin' makes me feel as fine and proud
Chorus
Soon the day is done
and the night comes down
Troubles never mean a thing
Now I hold her close in my dark dark town
One day I just hope that she'll wear my ring

Midnight On Your Couch
03:52
|
|||
Hot feeling deep inside my head
Gettin' crazy from the things you said
All evening with that cheap red wine
Midnight on your couch
Put your lips on mine
Baby baby put your lips on mine
Baby baby put your lips on mine
Baby baby put your lips on mine
Baby baby
Baby baby yeah!
Cool shadows all around your face
Deep music all over the place
Gettin' busy where the low lights shine
Midnight on your couch
Put your lips on mine
Chorus
I know we're gonna be here late
Hey sugar, this is more than a date
One kiss, we'll be over the line
Midnight on your couch
Put your lips on mine

Someone Really Great
04:14
|
|||
We met at Bar Six on 13th Street
The glory of a Sunday summer night
She looked so fine,
yeah she looked so sweet
Manhattan never felt so right
Manhattan never felt so right
Someone really great in my town so gray
My heart was beatin' fast, na na hey hey hey
Someone really great in my town so gray
I felt like a kid just ready to play
My heart was beatin' fast, na na hey hey hey
Someone really great
and she was comin' my way!
We sat in the back and we talked for awhile
And everything she said was ringin' true
I couldn't stay away from her beautiful smile
She took away my lonely lonely blues
She took away my lonely lonely blues
Chorus
We pushed to the front to see DJ Ike
His baggy clothes were such a sweaty mess
We danced to the music that we always like
She swayed in her long black dress
She swayed in her long black dress

Song For Victoria
04:37
|
|||
Call from San Francisco
What I heard her say was
How come everything's so gray
Fog came rollin' in
It never really left
The magic kind of slipped away
She wants to be adored
She wants to be seduced
She wants a man to hold her tight
She wants to be adored
She wants to be seduced
She wants some crazy love all night
Back in dark New York
I go about my day
I've only ever been her friend
All the stuff she tells me
All of it's so real now
When will her frustration end
Chorus
Somewhere in the night
She gathers up her thoughts
She writes them in her book of tears
Buried in her heart
There's just one simple wish
Wild passion for a million years

That guy, the one she thought was nice
Weeks later, he won't see her twice
One day she's gonna love supreme
She's a...lonely angel with a sexy dream
Lonely angel with a sexy dream
Lonely angel with a sexy dream
Lonely angel with a sexy dream
Come on
Come on!
That other guy, the jerk and a half
All he did was break her heart and laugh
One day she's gonna find her team
She's a...lonely angel with a sexy dream
Chorus
Right now it's just another night
Nobody there to hold her tight
One day her world will shine and gleam
She's a...lonely angel with a sexy dream

Shy Shy Beauty
03:46
|
|||
Callin' from the North like I hoped you would
Wonder if my dream is gonna turn out good
Asked me how I was and I said alright
Watched the afternoon just fade to night
Shy shy beauty
When you call my name
All there is to witness is an empty frame
Shy shy beauty
In your world divine
Shy shy beauty
Wanna make you mine
Talked about everything under the clouds
Never thought I'd hear your voice out loud
Wonder what it means, wonder where it'll go
Time flashed by, that's all I know
Chorus
Now I'm back home with my keys again
Writin' dark songs with a beat-up pen
Found it by the curb on 15th Street
Blowin' all around like my love so sweet

Lea
04:46
|
|||
She stayed out on the Coast
like she always said she would
She went back home
She's workin' with her Dad
And since she left Manhattan
My town just ain't as good
We stay out all night long
but man, we miss her so oh bad
Lonely lonely Lea
Lonely lonely Lea
Baby won't you come back and play
Lonely lonely Lea
Lonely lonely Lea
Baby won't you come back today
She called me up in tears
Said she felt all torn apart
She told me that she thought she hit the end
She got into a fight with the one who stole her heart
We're back here havin' fun
but man, we need our favorite friend
Chorus
I tried to calm her down
Told her look up at the sky
She said she felt she didn't have a world
She said she had a dream
about a tall and handsome guy
But meantime in Manhattan
man we're waitin' for our girl

The kids downtown all dressed in black
They look so cool but they can't relax
The kids downtown
They look so blue
But way down deep
We know what's true
Some of us just wanna dance
Some of us just wanna party
Some of us just wanna dance
Some of us just wanna rock and roll!
The kids uptown all dressed so fine
They get good grades, they toe the line
The kids uptown
They look so blue
But way down deep
We know what's true
Chorus
The poor kids want what the rich kids got
The rich kids think that it ain't so hot
The poor and the rich
They look so blue
But way down deep
We know what's true

Roses From The One
04:39
|
|||
Started out as friends
Long time ago
Walked around the city
Talked on the phone
One sweet night
High on the roof
Looked into her eyes
Found my proof
Roses from the one
She's not there
Brighter than the sun
Lighter than air
Roses from the one
That's okay
Love her 'til the end
'til I fade away
Chorus
Everything changed
Nothing to be
Life got rearranged
It was better than free
Everything fine
There on my wall
Pictures from the ocean
That dream-like fall
Chorus
Months turned to winter
Winter to this
Back to the rooftop
High as a kiss
Looked out at the city
Clouds like a chase
Miss her so much
Miss her beautiful face
Chorus
