There’s Nothing Left

Once upon a time I had all that was sweet
A heart full of love I placed at your feet
You led me to believe it would always be safe and sound
I never thought one day you would bury it in the ground;
You promised so much and delivered so little
You bowled me over like a skittle
You brought all your charms to bear
Then you stepped on me without a care.

There’s nothing left
You kissed and kissed
And kissed the breath out of me;
There’s nothing left
You squeezed and squeezed
And squeezed the juice out of me;
There’s nothing left
You sucked and sucked
And sucked the life out of me.

What do you want from me now?
Aren’t you satisfied with the blood off my brow?
Isn’t it enough that you’ve destroyed my life?
There’s only so much that you can do with a knife;
My lips have forgotten how to smile
You have taken all that was worthwhile
There is nothing left except an empty shell
Crush it and sweep it away as well.

The water from my eyes has run dry
The blood from my heart refuses to cry
My tongue cannot move the words to say
My feet have taken root and cannot walk away;
Your eyes, which once had me mesmerised,
Like a snake you now have me paralysed
Poison me or set me free
Either way – put me out of my misery.

Tears Of Blood

You advised me how to get by
You said forget – but how can I?
Can my lungs forget to breathe?
Can my heart forget to beat?
Can I forget my love for you?
You said forget – but how can I?
Tell me how and I will try
I’ll try – but I know I won’t survive.

Tears of blood
Cried by my broken heart
Tears of blood
Flowed when you tore it apart
Tears of blood
Colour red each lonely night
Tears of blood
Mean the end is in sight.

I can’t stop loving you
Though you know how hard I try
I can’t help remembering you
Though each time I break down and cry:
From the moment you went away
I lost every meaning to my life
A gash opened up on that day
I’ll heal the wound with a knife.

Tears of blood
Cried by my broken heart
Tears of blood
Flowed when you tore it apart
Tears of blood
Colour red each lonely night
Tears of blood
Mean the end is in sight.

Don’t ask why if I start to cry
– I was planning to ask you to be my wife –
If ever you see me just walk on by
You’re no longer in the plans of my life;
Blood of my heart, don’t delay, flow away
I’ll set you free with a knife
Blood of my heart, don’t stay, flow away
Flow out of my life.

Tears of blood
Cried by my broken heart
Tears of blood
Flowed when you tore it apart
Tears of blood
Colour red each lonely night
Tears of blood
Mean the end is in sight.

Baby, You’re Just Like An Indian Movie

Before you learned to walk and talk you knew how to sing and dance
You’re a heavy drama that’s sure to turn into a light romance
You shake your front and wiggle your behind
You’re easy on the eye but hard on the mind;
You love to mime the words and run around trees
All your Leading Men are down on their knees
Girls like you have natural talents to help their careers
Your eyes are tapped so you can turn on the tears.

Baby! Baby!
Oh, baby, you’re just like an Indian movie
Everything about you is a bit
Over the top, hot and spicy
A miss that is a hit
A filling that is empty
Just like an Indian movie
Baby, you’re just like an Indian movie
Just like an Indian movie.

It’s not your fault you’ve turned out this way
Even though you change costumes several times a day
You‘re superficial, baby, you’ve got no depth
You tell a lie with every other breath;
Well, you belch and you burp and you break wind
Mummy taught you that to fake is not a lover’s sin
Daddy believes you’re the virginal apple of his eye
A hundred boys have made it between your thighs.

Baby! Baby!
Oh, baby, you’re just like an Indian movie
Everything about you is a bit
Over the top, hot and spicy
A miss that is a hit
A filling that is empty
Just like an Indian movie
Baby, you’re just like an Indian movie
Just like an Indian movie.

The comedy isn’t funny but you like the car chases
All the make-up can’t cover up your two faces
The tragedy is that the public loves girls like you
Stupid birds of a feather stick together – and you do;
Even though you avoid being kissed on the screen
Off-camera you rock it in many a bedroom scene
You measure success by the amount of material possessions
The boy who gets you must have matching medallions.

Baby! Baby!
Oh, baby, you’re just like an Indian movie
Everything about you is a bit
Over the top, hot and spicy
A miss that is a hit
A filling that is empty
Just like an Indian movie
Baby, you’re just like an Indian movie
Just like an Indian movie.

Play With Fire

All the girls regard me as a stallion
To some I’m known as Sin, to others Temptation
Many swear my middle name is Freedom
Because I never go before they come
The word on the grapevine is Ecstasy
The word says Satisfaction is a guarantee.

Play with fire, babe, and you’ll see it’s no lie
Play with fire, babe, and I’ll put a torch to your hive
Play with me, and I’ll burn you alive.

Your family has wrapped you in cotton wool
Safeguarding your body so it’s taken by a chosen fool
If all you want is security on the shelf
Then do as they say – you don’t need my help
But if you want thrills with no strings attached
Come and play with me in a love match.

Play with fire, babe, pour your juice onto the flames
Play with fire, babe, play these lovely grown-up games
Play with me, no two shots are ever the same.

People will warn you and say it’s a crime
But it’s never wrong to ache for a good time
Come on, honey, come on, climb down from that window
Come on, angel, float down into my waiting arms now
Step into my open car and let the wind blow back your hair
I’ll drive you, I’ll ride you, I’ll plough you from here to there.

Play with fire, babe, you know lovers make the best friends
Play with fire, babe, burn my candle at both ends
Play with me, my life is in your hands.

We’re flying on the wings of a slow burn
Joy from this boy has made you learn
Love without a license is the most delicious
Stolen kisses are the most precious
Legal love is such a slow waste
Forbidden fruit has the sweetest taste.

Play with fire, babe, and I’ll tie you to my stake
Play with fire, babe, and in your oven I will bake
Play with me, play with the real thing for heaven’s sake!!
