Some Great Reward
|
1. Something To Do
My little girl
Wonīt you come with me
Come with me
And tell me
Is there something to do
Iīm going crazy with boredom
Come with me
Tell me
Grey sky over a black town
I can feel depression
All around
Youīve got your leather boots on
I canīt stand another drink
Itīs surprising this town
Doesnīt sink
Youīve got your leather boots on
Your pretty dress is oil stained
From working too hard
For too little
Youīve got your leather boots on
Youīre feeling the boredom too
Iīd gladly go with you
Iīd put your leather boots on
Iīd put your pretty dress on
2. Lie To Me
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say Iīm the only one
Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Donīt mean a lot now
Belief is the way
The way of the innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
Thereīs some truth in it
Promises made for convenience
Arenīt necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
Thatīs lost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half-truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
Make me think
That at the end of the day
Some great reward
Will be coming my way
3. People are People
People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
So weīre different colours
And weīre different creeds
And different people have different needs
Itīs obvious you hate me
Though Iīve done nothing wrong
I never even met you
So what could I have done
I canīt understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
Help me understand
Now youīre punching and youīre kicking
And youīre shouting at me
Iīm relying on your common decency
So far it hasnīt surfaced
But Iīm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fist
I canīt understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
4. It Doesnīt Matter
I am happy
That I have you
Even though youīre not here now
I know somewhere
You are dreaming
Though itīs definitely not of me
It doesnīt matter
If this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But Iīm praying
That weīre staying
Together
I am warmed by
Your friendship
Even when youīre far away
And Iīm happy
In the knowledge
We may never see the day
When I kiss you
And you kiss me
Donīt pretend you miss me
The worst kind
Of diseased mind
Is one filled with jealousy
If we should meet again
Donīt try to solve the puzzle
Just lay down next to me
And please donīt move a muscle
I will thank you
Most of all for
The respect you have for me
Iīm embarrassed
It overwhelms me
Because I donīt deserve any
It doesnīt matter
If this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But Iīm praying
That weīre staying
Togethe
5. Stories of Old
Take a look at unselected cases
Youīll find love has been wrecked
By both sides compromising
Amounting to a disastrous effect
You hear stories of old
Of princes bold
With riches untold
Happy souls
Casting it all aside
To take some bride
To have the girl of their dreams
At their side
But not me
I couldnīt do that
Not me
Iīm not like that
I couldnīt sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
I really like you
Iīm attracted to you
The way you move
The things you do
Iīll probably burn in hell
For saying this
But Iīm really in heaven
Whenever we kiss
But Oh no!
You wonīt change me
You can try
For an eternity
I wouldnīt sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
Now Iīve got things to do
You have too
And Iīve got to be me
Youīve got to be you
So take my hand
And feel these lips
And letīs savor a kiss
Like weīd savor a sip
Of vintage wine
One more time
Letīs surrender
To this love divine
But we wonīt sacrifice
Anything at all
To love
6. Somebody
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone whoīll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
Sheīll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
Sheīll hear me out
And wonīt easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact sheīll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone whoīll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I donīt want to be tied
To anyoneīs strings
Iīm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when Iīm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
Iīll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....
7. Master and Servant
Thereīs a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
Itīs a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Letīs play master and servant
Letīs play master and servant
Itīs a lot like life
And thatīs whatīs appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Dominationīs the name of the game
In bed or in life
Theyīre both just the same
Except in one youīre fulfilled
At the end of the day
Letīs play master and servant
Letīs play master and servant
Letīs play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
8. If You Want
Working weekīs come to its end
Party time is here again
Everyone can come if they want to
If you want to be with me
If you want to be with me
You can come with me if you want to
Exercise your basic right
We could build a building site
From the bricks of shame is built the hope
If you want to be with me
If you want to be with me
Even though you may still not want to
Let tomorrow and today
Bring a life of ecstasy
Wipe away your tears of confusion
If you want to be with me
If you want to be with me
You can come with me if you want to
Even though you may still not want to
9. Blasphemous Rumours
Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didnīt succeed, thank the Lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears, mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame, itīs always the same
She goes down on her knees and prays
I donīt want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that Godīs got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
Girl of eighteen, fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car, ended up
On a life support machine
Summerīs day, as she passed away
Birds were singing in the summer sky
Then came the rain, and once again
A tear fell from her motherīs eye
I donīt want to start any blasphemous rumours
But I think that Godīs got a sick sense of humor
And when I die I expect to find Him laughing
