Temptation 04:18
Rusted brandy in a diamond glass Everything is made from dreams Time is made from honey slow and sweet Only the fools know what it means Temptation Temptation Temptation I can't resist I just know that she is made of smoke But I've lost my way She knows that I am broke But that I must play Temptation Temptation, yeah Temptation I can't resist Temptation Temptation Temptation I just can't resist Dutch pink and Italian blue She is there and waiting for you My will has disappeared My confusion is oh-so clear Temptation Temptation Temptation I can't

The late show is over And the city is fast asleep And I'm lost in a world That's just too cold and deep I've turned so many ways I'm spinning like a top I wish that I could get off Or get this world to stop I'm a stranger and afraid I'm a stranger and afraid I'm a stranger and afraid In a world I never made I'm always chasing dragons With a sword that's made of tin So I know in my soul There's no way I can win I tried, oh I tried But

Randy Newman Something in your eyes Makes me want to lose myself Makes me want to lose myself In your arms There's something in your voice Makes my heart beat fast Hope this feeling lasts The rest of my life If you knew how lonely my life has been And how low I've felt for so long If you knew how I wanted someone To come along And change my life the way you've done Feels like home to me Feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from Feels like home to me Feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong A window breaks Down a long dark street And a siren wails in the night But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me And I can almost see Through the dark there's a light If you knew how much this moment Means to me And how…

When all the dark clouds roll away And the sun begins to shine I see my freedom from across the way And it comes right in on time Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light And it comes from the sky above Make me feel so free make me feel like me And it lights my life with love And it seems like (seems like) and it feels like (feels like) And it seems like (seems like), yes it feels like (feels like) A brand new day A brand new day, yeah, yeah I was lost and double crossed With my hands behind my back I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt Shoved out on the railroad track I've been used, abused and so confused And I didn't have nowhere to run But I stood and looked And my eyes got hooked On that beautiful morning sun And it

Almost Blue 02:55
Almost blue Almost doing things we used to do There's a girl here and she's almost you, almost All the things that your eyes once promised I see in hers too Now your eyes are red from crying Almost blue Flirting with this disaster became me It named me as the fool who only aimed to be Almost blue It's almost touching it will almost do There is part of me that's always true...always Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few I've seen such an unhappy couple Almost me Almost you Almost blue Songwriters: COSTELLO, ELVIS Almost Blue lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group

Now the Lord, he'll forgive you for cheating And the Lord, he'll forgive you if you lie Yes, he'll forgive and he'll help you to live But he sure frowns down soundly on you and I. It must be a sin when you love somebody Damned if you don't, twice damned if you do It must be a sin when you love somebody As much as I'm lovin' you. Now the Lord, he's known, and for his kindness He's always willing to set a sinner free (set a sinner free) He'll save your soul and he'll make you whole But I don't see no angels comin' down Shinin' their light on you and me. It must be a sin when you love somebody Damned if you don't, twice damned if you do It must be a sin when you love somebody As much as I'm lovin' you...

Nobody 03:39
Who knows my secret broken Who feels my flesh when I am gone Who was a witness to the dream Who kissed my eyes and saw the scream Lying there Nobody Who is my reason to begin Who plows the earth, who breaks the skin Who took my two hands and made them four Who is my heart, who is my door Nobody Nobody but you, girl Nobody but you Nobody in this whole wide world Nobody Who makes the bed that can't be made Who is my mirror, who's my blade When I am rising like a flood Who feels the pounding in my blood Nobody Nobody but you Nobody but you Nobody in this whole wide world Nobody, girl Nobody

I could show you in a word If I wanted to A window on a world With a lovely view From close up inside a single room With an open book aside Like you read in school It's so easy, believe me When you need fun I do anything to turn you on Anything to turn you on Is it raining in New York On Fifth Avenue And off Broadway after dark Love the lights don't you I could walk you through the park If you're feeling blue Or whatever Spring Summer whenever Winter through Fall I'd do anything to turn you on Anything to turn you on I could…

It's been a long, long day I got some run-down shoes Ain't got no place to stay But any old place will be okay It's been a long, long day Goodnight Goodnight Oh my love I sure been on this road Done nearly fourteen years Can't say my name's well known You don't see my face in rolling stone But I sure been on this road Goodnight Goodnight My love Slow motion Half a dollar bill Jukebox in the corner Shooting to kill And

Well you gassed her up Behind the wheel With your arm around your sweet one In your Oldsmobile Barrelin' down the boulevard You're looking for the heart of Saturday night And you got paid on Friday And your pockets are jinglin' And you see the lights You get all tinglin' cause you're cruisin' with a six And you're looking for the heart of Saturday night Then you comb your hair Shave your face Tryin' to wipe out ev'ry trace All the other days In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday You're reachin' your peak Stoppin' on the red You're goin' on the green 'Cause tonight'll be like nothin' You've ever seen And you're barrelin' down the boulevard Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night Tell me is the crack of the pool balls, neon buzzin'? Telephone's ringin',…

I'm Your Man 04:44
If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you If you want a partner Take my hand Or if you want to strike me down in anger Here I stand I'm your man If you want a boxer I will step into the ring for you And if you want a doctor I'll examine every inch of you If you want a driver Climb inside Or if you want to take me for a ride You know you can I'm your man Ah, the moon's too bright The chain's too tight The beast won't go to sleep I've been running through these promises to you That I made and I could not keep Ah but a man never got a woman back Not by begging on his knees Or I'd crawl to you baby And I'd fall at your feet And I'd howl at your beauty Like a dog in heat And I'd claw at your heart And I'd…
