That’s me in the corner, that’s me in the spotlight43. When I’m not with you I lose my mind, give me a sign44. Oh no, I know a dirty word45. I like big butts and I cannot lie46. And in this perfect weather we’ll find a place together47. Are you thinking of me when you f*** her?48. Never opened myself this way49. Near, far, wherever you are50. Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?51. I’ve got two tickets to Iron Maiden, baby 52. I am gettin’ so hot, I wanna take my clothes off53. Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun54. And the message coming from my eyes says, “Leave it alone”55. And so were the words to transpire 56. The taste of her cherry chapstick57. Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star?58. I see your acting like you’re somebody else, gets me frustrated 59. How can you see into my eyes like open doors?... less

There is no pain, you are receding23. Heu, heu, heu, heu, I am the king of the divan24. Voulez-vous couchet avec moi, çe soir?25. Well you can tell by the way I use my walk, I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk26. I’m a blue-eyed bitch, and I wanna get rich27. Screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo, like some cat from Japan28. Strumming my pain with his fingers29. Holly came from Miami FLA30. Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed31. Standing at the limit of an endless ocean32. Lying in my bed I hear a clock tick and think of you33. Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams34. Only boys that save their pennies make my rainy day35. How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer’s deadly toy?36. He’s bangin’ on the bongos like a chimpanzee37. And the last known surviv... less

Since she left me, I’ve never been the same3. The wind in the willows played love’s sweet melody 4. When the chimes ring five, six and seven5. I got the rockin’ pneumonia, I need a shot of rhythm and blues6. Her lips are like a volcano when it’s hot7. Even old New York was once New Amsterdam8. They read the Good Book from Fri ‘til Monday9. Put another nickel in, in the Nickelodeon10. Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep11. But he can’t be a man ‘cos he doesn’t smoke the same cigarettes as me12. I’ll buy a you a diamond ring, my friend, if it makes you feel all right 13. Oh what a birthday surprise, Judy’s wearing his ring14. I thought love was more or less a given thing15. Wouldn’t you like to fly in my beautiful balloon?16. Say goodbye my own true lover, as we sing a lover’s son... less
