Love Goes To War
(B. Rush)
Dawn never came this morning
While we were loading up and taking aim
Triggered off with no warning
Passion just burst into flame
Clearly, talks have broken
Good relations will now be erased
Domestic policy has failed
And home has turned to rubble
Oh it's a terrible waste
When love
When love goes to war
Baby, when love
When love goes to war
Our cause has been abandoned
And now the goal is to hurt and attack
No clear winner will emerge
And what was precious cannot be brought back
Doing permanent damage
Fire's to far gone to cease
I'm getting out while I still can
Before you drop your bombs on me
When love
When love goes to war
Baby, when love
When love goes to war
Love
When love goes to war
Baby, when love
When love goes to war
And just like any war there are survivors
Who carry the scars, become a little bit wiser
Some will forget and let peace be reinstated
And some will always keep their hearts barricaded
When love
When love goes to war
Baby, when love
When love goes to war
Lucky to survive
When love
When love goes to war
Such a shame such a waste
When love goes to war
Senseless, senseless
When love goes to war
When love goes to war
Yea
Such a terrible shame

New Romeo
(A. Call)
She came walkin' in clutchin her silver collection
With her entourage in tow
With that immaculately fashionable-cat
Who must be her new Romeo
I said "Hello how are ya haven't seen you in so long
Tell me now baby how long has it been?
How long has it been?"
And who's the new Romeo?
Who's the new Romeo?
Man I had enough
I don't now what she sees in him
With his pointed shoes and his poised expression
I admit he throws a mean shape or two
But then again, my confidence is easily shaken
It never has taken much
And a new Romeo
And a new Romeo
So who's the new Romeo?
Who's the new Romeo?
And then she looked at me
With her bitter green eyes sayin'
Tin angel is what I've become
It's not for you to criticize
Just look at me now
Look at me now
So I said, "Excuse me"
And I got up and I crossed my fingers for luck
I started stumblin' staggerin' baby searching for the shadows
Back behind me she was tellin' 'em, sellin' 'em
New and used faces 'round the dimly lit circle
Of the Thunderstruck
Of the Thunderstruck
Now who's the new Romeo?
Who's the new Romeo?
Who's the new Romeo?
Who's that new Romeo?
Who's the new Romeo?
Who's the new Romeo?

Love is the Drug
(B. Rush)
I've been calling for you, baby
I've been calling out your name
I've gone too long without
I think I've had enough
Got to get you back in my veins
I've been searching for you, girl
Obsessed all night and day
Gimme all I can take
Before my system brakes
Make this monkey go away
Ooo baby... I just can't quit
I'm down on the mat, I'm all out of fight
You can pick me up girl, you can fix me up right
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
It causes me pleasure, it causes me pain
Give it to me, baby, again and again
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
Just one taste of sweet lips
Some sugar on my tongue
I feel the motor start
It's cranking up my heart
On my way to oblivion
I tried to get off you, girl
But there's no substitute
For staying up all night
High as a kite
In dreamland with you
Mmm, baby
Throw a little my way
It's my only weakness, it's my only kick
It's the one habit, girl, I never will lick
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
It causes me pleasure, it causes me pain
Give it to me, baby, again and again
Love is the drug, I got to have tonight
Give it to me, baby
Give it to me, baby
Give it to me, girl
Yea, give it to me, baby
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
Love is the drug I got to have tonight
It causes me pleasure, it causes me pain
Give it to me, baby, again and again
Love is the drug I got to have tonight

Captured
(B. Rush)
Lying here on the ground
Warm winds are all wrapped around
Lighter than the softest feather
But holding us so tight together
Lots of room on this mountain top
Don't need much just one spot
We'll be here lying in it
Every day, hour, minute
Captured
We will always stay
In love forever
Captured
Time can never take away
A love forever
Captured
We will always stay
In love forever
Captured
Time can never take away
What is ours forever
We were free but we escaped
Empty life and lonely landscape
Freedom really has its limits
When there's no one sharing in it
Lots of space on this mountain top
Lots of room and lots of spots
Not too many others around
Who know the best way to be found is
Captured
We will always stay
In love forever
Captured
Time can never take away
A love forever
Captured
We will always stay
In love forever
Captured
Time can never take away
What is ours forever
Lying here on the ground
Warm winds are all wrapped around
We'll be here lying in it
Every day, hour, minute
Captured
We will always stay
In love forever
Captured
Time can never take away
A love forever
Captured
We will always stay
In love forever
Captured
Time can never take away
What is ours forever
Captured, we'll be captured
Oh, baby, captured
Time can never take away
A love forever
Captured, we'll be captured
Oh, baby, captured
Time can never take away
What is ours forever

I Can't Live Without Love
(B. Rush/J. Lyon)
Battle is over
Peace has settled in
I'll never hear
Your voice again
Hind sight is 20-20
Love's a 50-50 thing
Now I see your love was everything
You turned out the light
When you walked out the door
Now I've got freedom
I never wanted before
This world is a prison
Locked outside your heart
All that's left - is time and emptiness
I - I can't live, I can't live without your love
I - I can't live, I can't live without your love
I don't feel strong now
I feel insecure
I try standing up
But I can't get off the floor
Sometimes words can't fit
Things you want to say
Seemed so hard, to beg you to stay
Time hasn't healed
My heart like it should
I try to drink away the pain
Does no good
I bury myself in work
But it's just no use
Nothing's left but time and emptiness
I - I can't live, I can't live without your love
I - I can't live, I can't live without love
I can't live, I can't live without love
Your love
I can't live, I can't live without your love
Your love
I can't live, I can't live without love
Your love
I can't live, I can't live without your love
Sweet love
I can't live, I can't live without love
Without love
I just can't live without love
Your love
I just can't live without love
Can't live baby, sweet love
Your sweet love, baby

Over My Head
(B. Rush/J. Lyon)
If I don't change my luck
I'll have to change my name
If I don't get a break
I'm sure to get the blame
She took me at my word
And I took her for a ride
She let me taste her love
Now I'm swallowing my pride
And I'm in over
I'm in over
I'm in over my head
I'm in over
I'm in over
I'm in over my head
Baby, I tried to stay aloof
But I can't stay away
The way she makes me feel
Is sure to make me pay
You know, I had a cold cold heart
You know, I had a Casanova style
Until I lost myself
In that soft madonna smile
Now I'm in over
I'm in over
I'm in over my head
I'm in over
I'm in over
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
Way over my head
Yes I am
Way way over my head
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
I'm in over my head
Over my head

Don't Look Back
(W. Robinson/R. White)
If it's love that you're running from
There's no hiding place
And if there's problems I know that they're problems
We'll just have to face
But if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
Baby, we're gonna walk and don't look back
If your first lover let you down
There is something that can be done
Don't loose your faith in love
Because of what he's done
Don't do it, baby
So if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
Baby, we're gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back
We got to walk and don't look back
Oooh, baby
If you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We're gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back
We're gonna walk and don't look back
Oh, yea, baby
I love you darling
Take my hand, take my hand
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Ooh, yea
Ooh, yea
Everything's gonna be alright
Don't look back
We've got a love that's gonna last
Don't look back, don't look back

Tell Me Lies
(B. Rush)
I don't need
Any descriptions
Baby just kiss my lips
Don't say anything
Girl... get on home
You're gonna give me all of your love
I don't need to know
The bad things that you've done
I know you feel that you've got to tell me
And get it of your mind
But just this once baby... think of me
Forget the truth...
Tell me lies
Tell me lies
Lies, lies
Tell me lies
I'm not asking for any proof
Just carry that burden inside, inside
Baby, dishonesty is your best policy
I know you feel that ya got to tell me
And get it off your mind
But just this once, baby, think of me
Forget the truth...
Tell me lies
Tell me lies
Lies, lies
Tell me lies
It hurts so bad when love fails
Getting tangled up in the details
Whoa-oa-oa I don't want to know
I need all the love you give
Keep your secret and let me live
I don't need the truth to survive
Tell me lies
Tell me lies
Tell me lies
Tell me lies

Action Speaks Louder Than Words
(B. Rush)
You exploded into my life
A shot heard around my world
You changed everything
It took some time to find the ground
I think my reason
Has caught up with me
Love is strong, but life is long
Decision is upon us
You can kick my tires girl
I'll deliver what I promise
Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
It's sink or swim
We won't find out
Till we jump in
Will our love keep us afloat
Here come the rapids, girl, to test our will
And if the weather tips our boat
We might loose everything, can we pay that bill?
Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
Can't wait, just do it
Let's get down to it
Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words
It's sink or swim
We won't find out
Till we jump in
You exploded into my life
A shot heard around my world
You changed everything
Action, action, action
It's sink or swim
We won't find out
Till we jump in
Action, action, action
Can't wait, just do it
Let's get down to it
Action, action, action
It's either sink or swim
We won't find out
Till we jump in
Action speaks louder than words
Let's get down to it
Can't wait to do it

New Coat Of Paint
(T. Waits)
Let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome ol' town
Set 'em up
I'll be knockin' 'em down, down, down
You wear a dress, baby
I'll put on my tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In a burgundy sky
All our scribbled love dreams
Are lost or thrown away
Here amid the shuffle
Of an overflowing day
Love needs a transfusion
Let's shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time
Starts with throwin' in your line
Put a new coat of paint, baby
On this lonesome ol' town
Set 'em up, set 'em up
I'll be knockin' 'em down,
You wear your dress, baby
I'll root out my old tie
We'll laugh at that bloodshot moon
Up in that burgundy sky
Yes, we will
Laugh laugh laugh laugh
Come on, come on, come on, come on
