Dead End Street (My suggestions as per 3/2/99)

You're sitting at the wheel

My life's on the seat

Can't help but feel we're on a

Dead end street

Just drive on a bit careful

Could be a hard ride

Don't stop for nobody

Stop seeing red lights

Just cos it feels like the wrong way

Driving on dead end street

Chorus:

You're at the wheel, the wheel of my emotions

You're driving hard, driving right through my heart

Can't help but feel I'm headed in the wrong direction

Driving the wrong way, driving on a dead end street

We've been pushing too long

Driving in the fog

I'm getting tired of this

Empty dialogue

You can pull on over

Push me out the side

But you'll still be pointing

At a dead end sign

Chorus

Where its going you'll never know

I see the lights burn in your eyes

Or is it fear of your own night blindness

Drivin the wrong way, driving on a dead end street

In a far town

Chorus:

C Gm7 Bb Dm7 Gm7 C Gm7 Bb

Where are you going, (does it have to end)

C Gm7 Bb Dm7 Gm7 C Gm7 Bb

Where are you going, (Will you be back again)

With the stars to light your way

Wait until the full moon

Things might change

You'll need more than silver

A photo from your past

Won't you take a single thing

To remember me

Chorus

My Love's Online

(Rap)

Classical intro (based on Corelli trio)

I'm caught in a red web my mind is like a dead fed

Surfing like a nethead lost all my streetcred

My fingers are tapping I don't know what's happenin

Looking for some action dressed like Charlie Chaplin

Peddling in some software breathing in the stale air

Baby's bouncing there with all your freeware

Baby do you dare share or would you care to bare

Sixty seconds staring at your body's hair

This is a real deal I can even hear you squeal

Cyberchicks don't even need a free meal

I got it all for me on my digital TV

And noboby knows but the AT & T

Do you know, do you know how it feels

My love's on line my love is real

I'm in your domain don't even know your first name

Your always the same I'm your newest bestest old flame

Staring like a greek geek my eyes are goin tweak tweak

I'll be your heat seek seven nights a cheap week

You can call me brother I could be your mother

Your only other lover's the DA undercover

Your pic is on my homepage I stole it from your birdcage

It looks like I'm kinda strange and we could be the same age

This is really me don't give me your sympathy

My other car's a super V I could've been a Bruce Lee

So I'm hooked on IT I lied on my CV

And you're on my drive as a amateur JPG

Do you know, do you know how it feels

My love's on line my love is real

The sun was low in the sky
The meadow filled with blackberry
Cool strong waters raced over the weir
Into the reach below. It was

The night would fall too soon
C G
The sun gave way to the moon
Bb
Before we could fall in love

The cold made you catch your breath
Your breath beat fast against my neck
I held your body close
Stopped the current washing you away

We clung on to hope for a while
The briefest smile in your eyes
Before the long drive home to winter
And lives we didn’t want

And noone ever made a chart

To warn where the dangers lay

And mark where I’d meant to start

And where it would end

Shadows dancing on walls

Distant trains threaten loneliness

Gothic Romance

Intro: Riff: Em D/F# G A9 x4

You come in the cloak of night

Slide silently through moonswept sky

to my door

Make my dreams come alive

Your body sharp as a knife

Against my skin

Am7 Em7

You draw me to your lair

Am7 Em7

Reached through mountains of cold

Wolves are howling stay away

This lover will take your soul

Chorus A:

Em D Am7 Am7-D

I’m just playing a part in your Gothic romance

Em D Am7 Am7-D

And its breaking my heart I don’t stand a chance

This story comes from ancient lore

You changed the names made the characters more

appealing

Threw in a little extra gore

Some weird effects that make the ending sure

To horrify

I’ve got the right sort of face

I fitted the misformed cast

At the wrong time in the wrong place

A walk-on role that ends too fast

Chorus B:

I’m trying so hard in your Gothic romance

And its tearing me apart doing all I can
