(originally by George Harrison)
Watch out, now, take care, beware of fallen singers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles
In your fingertips
Beware of darkness
Watch out, now, take care and beware of thoughts that linger
Winding up inside you're head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night
Beware of darkness
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for
Watch out, now, take care and beware of softshoe shufflers
Dancing down the sideboards
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of darkness
Watch out, now, take care and beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While weeping at the cedars
They just won't grow
Beware of darkness
Over Your Shoulder lyrics - Concrete Blonde
I watch you eat
I watch you sleep
I see you in between your sheets
Oh! No. There I am.
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Whatever you say, I'm watching you.
Oh! No. There I am.
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Oh! No. There I am again.
My eyes, when you see,
My ears, when you hear
You can't get away from the face in the mirror.
No, no, no, no, no -
There I am.
Wherever you go
However you do it,
baby, I'm the only one true to you
There I am.
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Everything we did,
Everything we said,
If ever you're with another
I'll be in your bed
Oh! No. There I am.
Trying to forget my face and my name
As hard as you can.
It won't be the same at all.
Over your shoulder...
I watch you sleep
I see you in between your sheets
Oh! No. There I am.
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Whatever you say, I'm watching you.
Oh! No. There I am.
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Oh! No. There I am again.
My eyes, when you see,
My ears, when you hear
You can't get away from the face in the mirror.
No, no, no, no, no -
There I am.
Wherever you go
However you do it,
baby, I'm the only one true to you
There I am.
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Everything we did,
Everything we said,
If ever you're with another
I'll be in your bed
Oh! No. There I am.
Trying to forget my face and my name
As hard as you can.
It won't be the same at all.
Over your shoulder...
Little Sister lyrics - Concrete Blonde
Mama's nest is empty, all the babies grown and gone
And you're talking. I can hear me, you should hear you.
Look into a younger face that used to be my own
Years apart they make it harder to be near you.
Little sister
Little sister
All the times you couldn't tell her how you miss her.
But I'm only half a heart away.
Over all the time and distance I am where you are.
And I love you. Above all we're flesh and blood.
Little sister
Little sister
All along the way the road gets turned and twisted
And it hurts some, yeah you know it hurts some
Trying to find your way home.
And you're talking. I can hear me, you should hear you.
Look into a younger face that used to be my own
Years apart they make it harder to be near you.
Little sister
Little sister
All the times you couldn't tell her how you miss her.
But I'm only half a heart away.
Over all the time and distance I am where you are.
And I love you. Above all we're flesh and blood.
Little sister
Little sister
All along the way the road gets turned and twisted
And it hurts some, yeah you know it hurts some
Trying to find your way home.
(You're The Only One) Can Make Me Cry lyrics - Concrete Blonde
Lots of guys can make me laugh
And show me some good time
Treat me nice and want me by their side
Lots of people call themselves my friends
And that's alright
But you're the only one I let inside
You're the only one who leaves me warm and satisfied
And you're the only one who takes me wrong and makes me right
Oh, and if you took your love away
You'd leave me high and dry
Cause baby, you're the only one can make me cry
Now lots of people talking at me
Tell me what is right
And lately I just don't know what to do
Ah, the only thing that matters is
If you're with me at night
Everything's all right when I'm with you
You're the only one who leaves me warm and satisfied
And you're the only one who takes me wrong and makes me right
Oh, and if you took your love away
You'd leave me high and dry
Baby, you're the only one can make me cry
You're the only one can make me cry.
And show me some good time
Treat me nice and want me by their side
Lots of people call themselves my friends
And that's alright
But you're the only one I let inside
You're the only one who leaves me warm and satisfied
And you're the only one who takes me wrong and makes me right
Oh, and if you took your love away
You'd leave me high and dry
Cause baby, you're the only one can make me cry
Now lots of people talking at me
Tell me what is right
And lately I just don't know what to do
Ah, the only thing that matters is
If you're with me at night
Everything's all right when I'm with you
You're the only one who leaves me warm and satisfied
And you're the only one who takes me wrong and makes me right
Oh, and if you took your love away
You'd leave me high and dry
Baby, you're the only one can make me cry
You're the only one can make me cry.
Cold Part Of Town lyrics - Concrete Blonde
Dear darling,
Haven't seen you in a while.
Found some change in my pocket,
I thought I'd take a chance and dial.
I'm all right,
Just right now, a little down.
'Cause it gets chilly over here,
It's a cold part of town.
Dear darling,
You were right about them all.
When my luck went bad,
They never came around or called.
That's all right,
'Cause I don't miss them anyhow,
But it gets chilly over here, sometimes,
It's a cold part of town.
[Chorus]
Cold part of town,
Cold part of town.
I'll go now.
There's someone waiting for the phone.
It's raining out,
It's getting dark and I'm alone.
Can I call ya (you)?
And can I sometime come around?
Well, it gets chilly over here sometimes,
It's a cold part of town.
And it gets lonely over here, sometimes.
Cold part of town,
And it gets lonely over here.....
[Chorus]
Cold part of town,
Cold part of town ([sounds like:] It's been a while and I still think about you)
Cold part of town (I know right where I am)
Cold part of town (Woahh)
Cold part of town
Haven't seen you in a while.
Found some change in my pocket,
I thought I'd take a chance and dial.
I'm all right,
Just right now, a little down.
'Cause it gets chilly over here,
It's a cold part of town.
Dear darling,
You were right about them all.
When my luck went bad,
They never came around or called.
That's all right,
'Cause I don't miss them anyhow,
But it gets chilly over here, sometimes,
It's a cold part of town.
[Chorus]
Cold part of town,
Cold part of town.
I'll go now.
There's someone waiting for the phone.
It's raining out,
It's getting dark and I'm alone.
Can I call ya (you)?
And can I sometime come around?
Well, it gets chilly over here sometimes,
It's a cold part of town.
And it gets lonely over here, sometimes.
Cold part of town,
And it gets lonely over here.....
[Chorus]
Cold part of town,
Cold part of town ([sounds like:] It's been a while and I still think about you)
Cold part of town (I know right where I am)
Cold part of town (Woahh)
Cold part of town
It'll Chew You Up And Spit You Out lyrics - Concrete Blonde
Yeah
Well, I was tripping down the street early this morning
And the psychic lady pointed at me
She said, "Come on in," and I gave her my money
Said, "Tell me, tell me what you see"
And she said she saw the angels dancing with me
Dancing to the beat of my feet down the street
She said she saw the angels dancing with me
To keep on, keep on, keep on, now
(Still in Hollywood)
Oh wow
Thought I'd be out of here by now
(Still in Hollywood)
My, my
I'm running on a wheel and I don't know why
I don't know why
And I ran into Tony Pony, what a goddamned phony
Had a new fish on the line
Well, the last one left with the last bad check
The only good one that he ever had died
I got to live and let live, I got to learn to forgive
You know that everybody's got a right
But there's evil all around me in this broken-down city
That's a twenty-four hour fight
(Still in Hollywood)
Oh wow
I thought I'd be out of here by now
(Still in Hollywood)
My, my
I'm running on a wheel and I don't know why
(Still in Hollywood)
Oh wow
I thought I'd be out of here by now
(Still in Hollywood)
My, my, my, my
I'm running on a wheel and I don't know
Don't know
Don't know why
So let's me and you go get a new tattoo
We can hop on the Harley and cruise
We can start at the pier and share a beer
Head out to the desert, I can feel it from here
Ride all the way to where the lizards play
Riding on and on and on
There's a million stars, it will blow you away
It's all so Concrete Blonde, now
(Still in Hollywood)
Hey
That's right
You know we can ride it out all night
(Still in Hollywood)
Hey, hey, hey
I got to got away
Got to get away, yeah
(Still in Hollywood)
My, my, my
Yes, I'm glad to be alive
(Still in Hollywood)
Oh, mama gonna be somebody
Someday, sometime
(Still in Hollywood)
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
(Still in Hollywood)
Yeah, and I want to get out alive
Don't you know I'm
(Still in Hollywood)
Oh, doing fine
Oh, listen baby
(Still in Hollywood)
Oh, want to be out of here by now
(What's-a-matter with you, young man
Going to Hollywood, gonna be a big shot
That town's gonna suck you up and spit you out
You ain't gonna have a pot to piss in
Don't come back to me for a job
You made your bed, now sleep in it
Go back to these Copelands, what else
Who are they anyways
The Stewie, Miles Copelands
You ain't gonna have a dime
Big shot).

I Want You lyrics - Concrete Blonde
It's been a long, long time
And too many miles
of handshaking strangers
parading their smiles
Of all the faces that come and go
The only one I really wanna know
I want you
I want you
And all the people they never stop
They're talking their parrot talk
But your voice is clear through the noise in my ear
So what?
Can't believe I can feel this way
The only one way I know how to say
I want you
I want you
I can't wait cus I can't take it
I know you've been contaminated
My love is warm, my love is strong
If there's anything you learn to be afraid
But then time marches on and it kicks you aside
And they said we have time
But you know that they lied
I know you don't need to be
caught in between my extremes
But you've shown me things I so needed see
So believe when I say to you
No matter where I am, I'd rather be with you
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
And too many miles
of handshaking strangers
parading their smiles
Of all the faces that come and go
The only one I really wanna know
I want you
I want you
And all the people they never stop
They're talking their parrot talk
But your voice is clear through the noise in my ear
So what?
Can't believe I can feel this way
The only one way I know how to say
I want you
I want you
I can't wait cus I can't take it
I know you've been contaminated
My love is warm, my love is strong
If there's anything you learn to be afraid
But then time marches on and it kicks you aside
And they said we have time
But you know that they lied
I know you don't need to be
caught in between my extremes
But you've shown me things I so needed see
So believe when I say to you
No matter where I am, I'd rather be with you
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
