Jenny I Read lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Jenny I read something you said about
Rock and roll and life and death
Ah, Jenny I read they carried you home
Broken, beaten all alone

Oh, Jenny you said
Jenny you thought
Give them all that they want
Everything that you got
Oh, Jenny my dear
It's a wicked city
Once you're young, stupid and pretty

And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)
They're making angry loud noises (kicking back at the world)
And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)

Jenny they cried
Jenny they screamed
Your picture in every magazine
Yeah, ya wanted it all
But the American dream was nothing to write home about

She was the next big thing
And the telephone was ringing all of the time
You were wined and dined every night
Then one day it was over
And where are you now they wonder

And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)
They're making angry loud noises (kicking back at the the world)
And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)

Superstar, that's what you are

And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)
They're making angry loud noises (kicking back at the the world)
And all the angry young boys (and all the angry young girls)

Behind their, their fingers
Eyes aside
In sharp little whispers
They say it's her
It is her
What happened to her
She knows this
And she smiles

She doesn't look anything
Anything like her pictures
She used to be
She used to be
She used to be

But she knows this and she smiles
For she has miles and miles of memories all to herself
Everything in between then and now
And all her images of everything in between now and then
And all they have are pictures
Pictures

Mexican Moon lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Oh, amigo
Here we do things slow
Money, art, a broken heart
Where did you want to go?
Señor, por favor
To the hotel Zona Rosa
What did I come here for?

Oh, señor
I run, but the damage has been done
Miles have gone away
And my amor, he never come

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Uno Tecate and lime
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

Señor, you are wise
I can see a million years
A million tears behind your eyes
Take me home
Take me to the Zona Rosa
Mariachis and tequila
I will dance the night alone

Just some time
Just a little kiss of mine
Take me where I can forget, señor
You are so very kind

I look up at the sky
I am tired and dry
Dos Tecate and lime
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

I look up at the sky
I will try not to cry
Tres Tecate and lime
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moonlight
Thinking of you
Underneath the Mexican moon

Heal It Up lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Feeling the fire under my feet
I was a liar, you were a cheat
Playing with knives we were cut close to home
Close to the bone
Just so alone

Something to have, something to hold
Something to share so I've been told
Deep in your eyes you're one hundred years old
Cause the years have not been kind to you, you know

Heal it up
Heal it up
Heal me up
Heal me up
Heal me up

Feeling the pinch, feeling the hope
Feeling the void deep in my soul
Feeling my feelings so out of control
Cause the years have not been kind to me, I know

Heal it up
Heal it up
Heal it up
Heal it up

Jonestown lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Sheep are running scared tonight
The cows are coming home
They cling together terrified
Afraid to be alone

The bees are buzzing around the queen
Waiting for a word
The ? are ? the scene?
Collectively absurd

They're looking for Jesus
They're looking for more
Just what are they looking up here to me for
They're looking for someone
They're looking for Christ
They're looking for some human sacrifice
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown

They don't know who to run to
They don't know where to go
Unless you tell them what to think
They don't know what they know

Repeating the commercial
Something they have heard
From someone not they someone else
Somebody good with words

I think they're looking for an answer
They're looking for more
Just what are they looking up here to me for
They're looking for Jesus
They're looking for Christ
They're looking for some human sacrifice
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown again
It looks like Jonestown again

They're looking for an answer
They're looking for more
Just what are you looking up here to me for
They're looking for Jesus
They're praying for Christ
They're looking for some human sacrifice
It looks like Jonestown
It looks like Jonestown
It looks like Jonestown
It looks like Jonestown
Jonestown
Jonestown

Rain lyrics - Concrete Blonde


Rain
Thought I heard a footstep
Thought I heard the phone
Standing on the doorstep
Listening alone
And all I hear is rain

Thought I saw your headlight
Thought I heard your car
Shadows on the streetlights
Fog and nothing more
And all I hear is rain

And things I tried to say
Tried as many times
This rain is falling from my eyes
These kinds of days (I really miss you now)
Seasons are changed again (I really miss you now)
I search in vain
I wonder where you are
Watching the rain
And it makes me remember
Things I tried to say

Rain
Laughing at the window
Thought I saw your face
Only cloudy images
On my window pane
And all I hear is rain

And things I tried to say

I Call It Love lyrics - Concrete Blonde

If you listen to the ocean
And the rhythm of the rain
And the rhythm of a heartbeat
And ? you again

And you do not see the color
And you do not see the reason
And you do not understand these things
You only know religion

And the wisdom of the ages
Meets the wisdom of the moment
And the future past and present
Is the feeling or the touch

And the walking hand you feel it
And it follows like a wind
And the voices in your ear
Are telling you so much

Some call it Allah
Some call it God
Some call it Buddha
I call it Love

Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it Love

When you're guilty of compassion
It's the border of ?
On the international
Binding us together

When the song is all around you
Telling you be free
And the force has finally found you
And it's everything you need

Some call it Allah
Some call it God
Some call it Buddha
I call it Love

Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it Love

Some call it Allah
Some call it God
Some call it Buddha
I call it Love

Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it Love

Some call it power
Come from above
Some call it Jesus
I call it Love

Some call it Allah
Some call it Jesus

Jesus Forgive Me (For The Things I'm About To Say) lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Oh, Jesus
Please forgive me
For the things I'm about to say

I killed you in my mind today
I cut you up, I watched you bleed
I killed you in my heart today
For everything you did to me
I murdered you a hundred times
I shot you dead and never cried
I killed you in my mind today
I laughed and watched you die

Screaming at me all on fire
(Liar, liar, liar)
I buried you with my desire
(Liar, liar, liar)
I buried you so far below
(Liar, liar, liar)
I hate to see you go

(Oh, Jesus)
Oh, Jesus
(Please forgive me)
Oh, what am I thinking
Oh, oh
(Oh, Jesus)
Oh, Jesus
(Please forgive me)
What am I thinking

On my knees beside my bed
(Liar, liar, liar)
I'm sorry for the things I said
(Liar, liar, liar)
I've washed the sheets a million times
(Liar, liar, liar)
I'm paying for my crime
Oh, yeah

(Oh, Jesus)
Jesus
(Please forgive me)
Please forgive me
Yeah, oh
(Oh, Jesus)
Oh
(Please forgive me)
Everything that I did to you
Oh

(Oh, Jesus)
Oh
(Please forgive me)
I'm praying to you
Oh
(Oh, Jesus)
I am
(Please forgive me)
I don't know myself right now
Somehow
(Oh, Jesus)
Oh, Jesus forgive
(Please forgive me)
Forgive me now

(I killed you in my mind today)
Oh
(Oh, Jesus)
Oh, Jesus, please
(Please forgive me)
What I want
I mean it now
Mean it now
(I killed you in my mind today)
Somehow.

When You Smile lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I dreamed last night I was born a hundred years ago
But when I woke up I was lost with only one place to go
When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two

It's not fair to put you against all of the years behind me
But history kind of pales when you and you are aligned

When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile

Well there's never been a man who's been anymore than bones in sack
But it doesn't take much to hold the possibilities back

When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile

When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
Yes, it seems like the end of the world
Yes, it seems like the end of the world
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile

Close To Home lyrics - Concrete Blonde


Tennessee, Baton Rouge
Dallas, Texas
Coming through
New Orleans, I could stay
But tomorrow I'm on my way

I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home

I been here
I been there
I been nowhere
Everywhere
Mexico, I could stay
Arizona to L.A.

I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home

I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home

I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm close to home (close to home)
I'm getting closer and closer to home

One Of My Kind lyrics - Concrete Blonde

I go on a date with you
Get me to the party before it's too late
So I can watch all the evil in the room
Get up and dance while he's still fresh

And he's still all in love with his first steady
If not, let me know
Cause I'd rather stay home than go

Shadows, windows
Sorrow like an undertow
Clotheslines, telephone lines

It's a matter of time before they find me
I'm waiting for a sign from one of my kind
I'm waiting for the time to fall behind me
I'm waiting for a sign from one of my kind

Get on the plane
A star in the sky
Down and living and dying inside
Slipping on the wire and jumping off the ledge
I feel like dancing out over the edge

Weeping willow
Weeping on my pillow
Headlines, deadlines

Wine, dine, do a line
Nickel and dime me
I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind
I'm waiting for the time to fall behind me
I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind

Oh, no [?]
Soon we flew from our cocoon
We go slow

I'm wondering how long until they find me
I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind
It's a matter of time until they find me
I've been waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Waiting for a sign from one of my kind
Waiting for a sign from one of my kind

End Of The Line lyrics- Concrete Blonde

Take a walk out in the rain
Called you time and time again
Everything is wrong
You've gone

Reached the point of no return
The more I see the more I stand alone
I see the end of the line

Were you ever lonely
Mystified and blue
Realizing only
Your number's up
You're through

Had my share of winning
Now's my time to lose
After a fair beginning
The game's up
You're through

Think I'll walk out in the storm
Got no love to keep me warm inside
I see the end of the line

Now's the time to take a dive
Take a magic carpet ride
Everything is wrong
We've gone

If you ever miss me
If I should cross your mind
You know where to find me
I'll be waiting at the end of the line

(Love Is A) Blind Ambition lyrics - Concrete Blonde

And all the minutes
Of all the madness
And all the poetry
Between the good and badness

And all the hours
Of all the minutes
Of all the thousand loves
That grew from within

It was the heat of the night
And love was a blind ambition

And all the seasons
All the years
Of all countless questions
And seasons of fear

There's an answer
And all emotion
And all the hungry moments
A losing proposition

It's just the heat of the night
'Cause love is a blind ambition
It's just the heat of the night
'Cause love is a blind ambition

And all the minutes
Of all the madness
And all the poetry
Between the good and badness

And all the hours
Of all the minutes
And all the flowers of love
And the love that grew from within it

It was the heat of the night
And love was a blind ambition
It was the heat of the night
And love was a blind ambition

Bajo La Lune Mexicana lyrics - Concrete Blonde

Oh amigo, hacemos todo despacito
Dinero, artes, amores tristes, a donde yo quiero
Señor, por favor, al Hotel Zona Rosa
No sé aquí lo que hago
Señor, corrí, pero el daño fué hecho
Millas y tiempo pasó y mi amor, Él no llegó

Mirando al cielo arriba
platicando mi vida
Una tecate con lima

(Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon)
Pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana

Señor tú eres juicioso
veo los millones de años y lágrimas en sus ojos
Señor, por favor, llévame a la Zona Rosa
Mariachi y tequila, a bailar la noche sola
llevame al lugar de paz de mente
donde puedo olvidar Señor, tu eres muy amable

Mirando al cielo arriba
Intentar que no llorar
Dos tecate con lima

(Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon)
Pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana

Mirando al cielo arriba
Intentar que no llorar
Tres tecate con lima

(Thinking of you underneath the Mexican moon)
Pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana
