1.1 - Girls Talk

There are some things you can't cover up
With lipstick and powder
Thought I heard you mention my name
Can't you talk any louder?

Don't come any closer
Don't come any nearer
My vision of you
Can't come any clearer
Oh I just wanna hear girls talk

Got a loaded imagination
Bein' fired by girls talk
It's a more or less situation
Inspired by girls talk

But I can't say
The words you wanna hear
I suppose you're gonna have to
Play it by ear, right here

And now, girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed, girls talk
If they say that it's so
Don't they think that I'd know by now?

Got the word up on everyone's lipstick
That you're getting faded
You may not be an old-fashioned girl
But you're gonna get dated

"Was it really murder?"
"Were you just pretending?"
"Lately I've heard..."
"You are the living end"

Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed, girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
If they say that it's so
Don't they think that I'd now by now?

But I can't say
The words you wanna hear
I suppose you're gonna have to
Play it by ear, I hear

There are some things you can't cover up
With lipstick and powder
But I heard you mention my name
Can't you talk any louder?

Don't come any closer
Don't come any nearer
My vision of you
Can't come any clearer

Girls talk
And they wanna know how girls talk
And they say it's not allowed, girls talk
And they think they know how girls talk
Girls talk
Girls talk

1.2 - Crawling From The Wreckage

Got out really early from the factory
Drivin' like a nut in the rain
Don't think I was actin' so hysterically
But I didn't see a thing until it came
Met the dumb suburbos in the takeaway
Beating up the Chinee at the counter
I put a few inside me at the end of the day
I took out my revenge on the revolution counter

Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

In walks Bud with his exploding nose
He's been giving it maximum today
Shouted, How the devil, you in trouble, I suppose
All you ever do is run away
Gunned up the motor inta hyperdrive
I wasn't gonna take any of that
Don't get bright ideas about a suicide
'Cause all I ever hear is, Zoom, bam, fantastic

Crawlin' from the wreckage
Crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half a brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage
Crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage
Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage
Crawlin', crawlin', crawlin' from the wreckage

Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Nothin' seems to happen that ain't happened before
I see it all through flashes of depression
I drop my drink and hit some people runnin' for the door
Gotta make some kind of impression
'Cause when I'm disconnected from the drivin' wheel
I'm only half the man I should be
Metal hitting metal is-a all I feel
Everything is good as it poss-i-bul-ly could be

Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage
You'd think by now at least that half a brain would get the message
Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage
Bits of me are scattered in the trees and in the hedges
Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage
Into a brand new car

Crawlin' from the wreckage, Crawlin' from the wreckage

1.3 - Creature From The Black Lagoon

All he wanted was a lady,
When at night he came up from the deep.
He was feeling like any other lonely fella,
Decided to take one while the city was asleep.

The unsuspecting maiden
Was clutched from where she lay,
And taken away to a home down under
The waters of the local bay.

By the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a
Strange to see him back so soon.
After his last intended did the dirty on him,
Didn't last five minutes in the swim.

With the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a
Be seeing him again real soon.
After this intended lets him down,
Won't last five minutes with him around.

Only surfaced for a companion,
'Cause of that he's never been seen.
Just a big look written in the eyes of his baby,
And a cry of terror, a honeymoon scream.

The unsuspecting maiden
Will be clutched from where she sleeps,
And taken away to a home down under
The water, and that's for keeps.

By the Creature from the Black Lagoon-a,
Strange to see him back so soon.
After his last intended did the dirty on him,
Didn't last five minutes in the swim.

1.4 - Sweet Little Lisa

Well the work whistle blew about a half past five
o'clock.
I saw the red light on the corner, man I never tried
to stop.
Got pulled over by a man in blue.
He said "What the hell you tryin'a do?"
I told him 'bout my baby, he let me go, thanks a lot.

Got invited to a party at a high school Hollywood
pool.
There were women all around me, man I began to drool.
I weighed the evidence at hand,
I said "Girls you gotta understand,
Since I met my baby I've been livin' by the Golden
Rule."

Aw, there ain't nobody gonna make me shout.
Ain't nobody gonna put me out.
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Like my sweet little Lisa does.
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing.
Make me do the wrong damn thing.
I'm sinking my head in a cold cold stream
Like my sweet little Lisa do.

I was hauling out of Dallas, got pulled over by a
debutante.
She was playing with her gearshift, I was being kinda
nonchalant.
Said she'd take me up to her room,
Keep me following with the Lorna Doones.
I got a sweet sugar mama gonna give me everything I
want.

'Cause ain't nobody gonna make me shout.
Ain't nobody gonna put me out.
Ain't nobody gonna make me do
Like my sweet little Lisa does.
Ain't nobody gonna make me sing.
Make me do the wrong damn thing.
I'm sinking my head in a cold cold stream
Like my sweet little Lisa do.

1.5 - Dynamite

Well send me love in a package labelled "Dynamite."
I wanna feel an explosion when I hold you tight.
I got a powerhouse reception waiting for you when
You come back to your loving baby's arms again.

Sailing 'cross the stars into the silvery moon.
If you wanna know what happens I could be there soon.

Well give me kisses that explode before my very eyes.
I know the sight of you can generate a million sighs.
All I'm set for detonation, baby don't you know,
Three two one zero, here I go!

Sailing 'cross the stars into the silvery moon.
If you wanna know what happens I could be there soon.

Dynamite!

2.1 - Queen Of Hearts

Midnight, I'm a-waiting on the 1205
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
If it's only for a very short time

Playing with the Queen of Hearts knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you

Baby, it makes me feel so bad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done
And baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handing out the heartaches
You know you got to have you some

Playing with the Queen of Hearts knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you

Lovers, I know you've had a few
You hide your heart beneath the covers
And you tell 'em they're the only one
And others know what I'm going through
It's so hard to be a lover
When you say you only do it for fun

Playing with the Queen of Hearts knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie, thinking about a life of crime
That's what I'll have to do to keep me away from you

To keep me away from you
To keep me away from you

2.2 - Home In My Hand

Well, went down to the Greyhound station,
To catch an outbound dog.
I got my ticket from a man.
He said "Son you wanna check your bags?"
I said, "No thank you sir,
I carry my home right in my hand."

I got my home in my hand
And I'm a travellin' man
When I need a woman, I want a one-night stand.
Yeah, I move pretty quick 'cause I got my home in my
hand.

I don't know what makes me ramble
And I guess I really don't care.
I feed one mouth and that's my own.
Well just like trouble you can find me,
On the corner of any two streets,
Smoking up weed and sitting on my own.

I got my home in my hand
And I'm a travellin' man.
When I need a woman, I want a one-night stand.
Yeah, I move pretty quick 'cause I got my home in my
hand.

Got my home in my hand
And I'm a travellin' man
When I meet a woman, I want a one-night stand.
Yeah, I move pretty quick 'cause I got my home in my
hand.

I got my home, my home in my hand
I got my home, and I'm a travellin' man
I got my home, my home in my hand
I got my home in my hand, and I'm a travellin' man
I got my home, and I'm a traveling man
I got a home in my hand, and I'm a travellin' man
I got my home, my home in my hand,
I got my home in my hand and I'm travellin' man, oh.

2.3 - Goodbye Mr Good Guy

Goodbye Mr. Good Guy,
Come back teenage queen.

She tells me I've been killing her with kindness
Smiling a lot, playing on my guitar.
But she hit me with a line
About missing out on the good times.
Couldn't take any more.

He kept her in attention in the center,
Delivered her with roses to my door.
She rocked the night away,
Fooling with her date.
What's she taking me for?

Goodbye Mr. Good Guy,
Come back teenage queen.
I guess you had a nice try
Living in your dreams.
Goodbye careless hunger
You thought you'd steal the show.
But taking away my thunder,
Hmm, what do you know?

I'm going to be the man you love to hate,
So long Nice Guy, you'll appreciate
I'll take the trouble line,
I'm telling you you're mine,
If it ain't too late.

2.4 - Take Me For A Little While

I've been trying
To make you love me,
But everything I try
Just takes you further from me.

You don't love me,
And so you treat me cruel.
But no matter you hurt me,
I'll always be a fool.

If you don't want me forever,
If you don't need me forever,
If you don't love me forever,
Take me for a little while
So I could hold you baby,
(Take me for a little while)
So I could make you want me.

I've got to stop it,
There should be a law.
'Cause every time you put me down,
I want you more.

Oh, I feel so helpless,
And it ain't funny.
'Cause deep inside I know
You're never gonna love me.

If you don't want me forever,
If you don't need me forever,
If you don't love me forever,
Take me for a little while
So I could hold you baby,
(Take me for a little while)
So I could make you want me.

(Take me for a little while)
So I could hold you baby,
(Take me for a little while)
So I could make you want me.
(Take me for a little while)
You know I got to have you.
(Take me for a little while)
You know I'll do anything for you.
(Take me for a little while)
(Take me for a little while)
Take anything you want.
(Take me for a little while)
Take anything you need.
(Take me for a little while)
You know I want you dear.
(Take me for a little while)
Do anything for you.

2.5 - We Were Both Wrong

Well, my baby and I
Are apart, I'll tell you why
Now we both had views in a fight,
Why couldn't we say to each other,
"The truth was, we were both wrong?"

Well, day after day and night after night,
We would have done one another.
Why haven't we admitted to each other,
We were both wrong.

Coming out one better,
Meant more than a letter to each other,
Make a stand, don't back down,
Just stand your ground and you'll win.

I want you back, you can't beat 'em,
After all it's been so long.
I need your love so bad.
You're breaking my heart.
Why don't we say we were both wrong?

Coming out one better,
Meant more than one letter to each other,
Just make a stand, don't back down,

I need your love so bad.
You're breaking my heart.
Why don't we say we were both wrong?

Why can't we say we were both wrong?

2.6 - Bad Is Bad

Went downtown to see my cousin
He plays guitar like a chainsaw buzzin'
In the crowd I see his mom and dad
I said, hey uncle, man your son is bad

Sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
I said cool is a rule but sometimes bad is bad

Across the street, a neon sign
All you can eat for a dollar ninety-nine
This old stew is the baddest in the land
But one dollar's worth was all that I could stand

Sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
I said cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is bad

I came back uptown to see my Marie
Nobody home, so I opened the door with my key
I love you baby was the note that I read
But there's a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed

Sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
I said cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is bad

I said cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is bad
I said cool is a rule, but sometimes bad is bad
