Jubilee Lyrics
APB I’ll put an APB on you tonight, searchlights citywide I’ll flash your face upon the news at nine I’ll put the heat on high whatever I gotta do to find you Won't let fair-weather friends step in to hold ya back or blind you I need you more than ever You are the only one Better be sure Put out an all-points bulletin All-points bulletin I gaze through infrared done lost my head a long long time ago I've got no hounds to sic upon your trail ya know Just desperation on my breath, I have to sit back stabilize So I don't scare you when I'm close enough to catch your eye I need you more than ever You are the only one Better be sure Put out an all-points bulletin An all-points bulletin An all-points bulletin Bulletin I need you more than ever You are the only one Better be sure Put out an all-points bulletin An all-points bulletin An all-points bulletin Bulletin A P B Seconds I need a second just to catch my breath I need a second wind to blow my wad I'll play the second fiddle second best oh Shang lang lang lang That second coming is a second guess Won't need a second hand there on my watch My second nature takes a second to kick in oh Shang lang lang Shang lang lang Soon very soon - it's a common sensation Soon very soon I need some second sight to see this through You know that second rate it just won't do I'll make a second strike a looking out a second story room And then at second thought I might get bored Of playing soldier in the Second World War Second generation from the secondhand store Shang lang lang Shang lang lang Shang lang lang Soon very soon - it's a common sensation Soon very soon a-like-the-fate-a-the nation Soon very soon - such a common sensation Ah ah I need a second just to catch my breath I need a second wind to blow my wad I'll play the second fiddle second best oh Shang lang lang Shang lang lang Shang lang lang Soon very soon - it's a common sensation Soon very soon a-like-the-fate-a-the nation Soon very soon - well such a common sensation Soon very soon a-like-the-fate-a-the nation Ah ah Soon very soon - such a common sensation Soon very soon a-like-the-fate-a-the nation Soon very soon Change Your Tune Well it may be hard to swallow It may come as some surprise I ain't askin' for apologies Done tried them on for size Lay your head back on the pillow Let your eyes roll 'cross the floor See the center of the universe Just isn't you no more Right now you could use a change of tune Right now no one needs it more that you I know everyone is wicked Won't you change your tune Change your tune Change your tune I've been such a pollyanna I just rolled back like a rug Oh but you can't understand that no 'Cause you're in the hole you dug Right now you could use a change of tune Right now no one needs it more that you I know everyone is wicked Won't you change your tune Change your tune Change your tune It's a dead-end street It's a dead-end street That's what you're tryin' to tell me It's a dead issue When it's done it's through But I said it all so help me Ah ah ah Right now you could use a change of tune Right now no one needs it more that you I know everyone is wicked Won't you change your tune Change your tune Change your tune Testimony How can I give a testimony of my life When I'm still trying hard to hold my head up high I'm trying so hard to hold my head up high And every time I turn around Feel as though I've let you down Always something else And every time I turn around Feel as though I've let ya down But I can't outrun myself How can I give a testimony of my time When it's so hard to pen a simple valentine It weighs a little heavy on my mind And every time I turn around Feel as though I've let you down Always something else And every time I turn around Feel as though I've let ya down But I can't outrun myself Oh you know If I told ya once, I've told you loads before I couldn't love ya more And every time I turn around Feel as though I've let you down Always something else And every time I turn around Feel as though I've let ya down But I can't outrun myself No oh oh oh But I can't outrun myself Ooh ooh ooh Truly, Truly I was hanging with some friends In the parking lot one night near the summer's end I leaned back against the glass Of a car to watch all those speeding comets crash It made me think about us It made me think about us Truly truly truly I want you Truly truly truly I do Truly truly truly I want you You were lying by the pool And the surface of the water was a lapis jewel I dove in to make a splash Woke ya from your dream nodding off out on the grass It made me think about us Truly truly truly I want you Truly truly truly I do Truly truly truly I want you Truly truly truly I want you Truly truly truly I do Truly truly truly I want you It's just been too long We set aside some time alone Sure could use your point of view And it's been awhile Since we dropped our guard and cracked a smile Don't you think it's overdue Well how about you Truly truly truly I want you Truly truly truly I do Truly truly truly I want you Truly truly truly I want you Truly truly truly I do Truly truly truly I want you Truly, Truly SuperSloMotion Sleepy rhythms were lulling us Trolling down a long canal Onto savage shores and gilded floors Of coliseums through the load-in door Certain of this one thing Certain of this one thing Certain of this one thing That super slow motion got the upper hand on me On me Holy visions had ceased to come My tongue was numb and I was feeling tired Crying out in a wordless howl Screeching off to the underground Certain of this one thing Certain of this one thing Certain of this one thing That super slow motion got the upper hand on me On me On me Sleepy rhythms were lulling us Syrup sweet and poisonous How I found my way back I'm not sure Through the channels and little streets that curve Certain of this one thing Certain of this one thing Certain of this one thing That super slow motion got the upper hand on me Fine How'd Ya Do Now the troubadours are outside the court With their gramophones and rifles And an awful cloud is daring to pour Such a wild scene, a 3-D picture bible story And the floats of tinsel garland are downed Stalled for blocks on the parade route But the majorette still twirls in the rain And the marching band goes soaking wet And that's a fine how Do ya do - do ya do That's a fine how Do ya do - do ya do That's a fine how Do ya do - do ya do That's a fine how See the ladies in their queen union suits Shuffling gaily for the camera Doing high kicks in their felt button boots While the men puff their cigarettes from Panama Like the baby dolls of bisque on display In the shops of Barcelona There's a blankness that falls over his face As the speaker makes his way up to the podium Could he be so blind to sip lemonade In such a dire time well that's a fine That's a fine how Do ya do - do ya do That's a fine how Do ya do - do ya do That's a fine how Do ya do - do ya do That's a fine how do ya do Holding hostage in the opium dens That are tucked behind the alleyway Where the corridors of Amsterdam bend 'Neath the windows where the harlots pose like mannequins No one thinks of them on Valentines There's no chocolate box or cards to read And that's a fine how Do ya do - do ya do That's a fine how Do ya do - do ya do That's a fine how Do ya do - do ya do That's a fine how do ya do Come To Mama, She Say A storm it was blowin' in Twister was about to spin my way Kitchen door was swingin' wide As if to say come on inside to stay Come to mama babe Come to mama she say Come to mama baby Get yourself into a cellar Gals go grab yourself a feller 'fore it's too late Friend you'd better run for cover Don't be caught alone out on lover's lane Come to mama babe Come to mama she say Come to mama baby It's best to make the most of this Fate is known to twirl and twist Even the face of the first girl I kissed I can't recall Not at all Preachers was a reachin' out The speaker wires callin' out my name Son we're in the final hour Making love you ought to be ashamed But if’n that woman ever stares him down The way she do he'd see it ain't that plain Come to mama babe Come to mama she say Come to mama baby It's best to make the most of this Fate is known to twirl and twist Even the face of the first girl I kissed I can't recall Can't recall Come to mama babe Come to mama she say Come to mama baby 8 Mile Road Daisies in a chain Woven in your hair that falls Into a braid Woven' round the statue's toes In the gardens you made Bells that sing and chime Little crystal bells that toll All through the night Never once did angels break Away from your side Won't ya hurry home Won't ya hurry home Hurry down that lone eight mile road Won't ya hurry home Now your seeds are sewn Hurry down that lone eight mile road Poppies red and gold Growin' wild as weeds beside Yellow Brick Road Growin' in the ditch where I Sailed a milk carton boat But how can you deny When the spirit wraps in broad daylight And it looks you right between the eyes Won't ya hurry home Won't ya hurry home Hurry down that lone eight mile road Won't ya hurry home Now your leaves are strewn Hurry down that lone eight mile road Ooh All those talkin' sculls Mama they don't scare me much Not anymore Think I finally got my head 'Round the door Won't ya hurry home Won't ya hurry home Hurry down that lone eight mile road Won't ya hurry home While the breeze is blowin' Hurry down that lone eight mile road Won't ya hurry home Now won't ya hurry home Hurry down that lone eight mile road Hurry home Down that lone eight mile road Hurry home Eveybody Needs A Little Sanctuary Swarm 'round the hive sweet honey bee Swarm to and fro just as ya please You're always welcome with your queen Everybody needs a little sanctuary Everybody needs a little sanctuary Some men will seek it in the church Only to find it on the sea Or where pay women walk the streets All of them seeking sanctuary All of them seeking sanctuary All of them seeking sanctuary Ooh ooh ooh I only hope I can provide That which you truly gave to me You never made me stand outside You always offered sanctuary You always offered sanctuary You always offered sanctuary Ooh ooh ooh You always offered sanctuary You always offered sanctuary Everybody needs a little sanctuary Everybody needs a little sanctuary My,

when I'm goin' , get me while I'm comin' in I need not to pretend But it's handy when I have to treat ya like a friend Oh 'cause you ain't playing nice You've been rolling crooked dice Oh 'cause you

me close and let me know I'm not alone for once Hold me close and tell me that I never really was Why on the earth could I not see The cloud a hangin' over me But I did a dance to make it rain And it just overflowed the drains Hold me close and let me know I'm not alone for once Hold me close and tell me that I never really was Hold me close and let me know I'm not alone for once Hold me close and tell me that I never really was |
